    Excellent Learning and Networking Environment!

    Overall, I enjoyed my experience as a Wyncode student. I greatly appreciated the tight-knit community and the support that was offered not only by my own classmates but also by the TAs, the other instructurs, and by students in other courses. The co-founders were very involved throughout this journey and I felt genuinely comfottable addressing them and other menbers of the administrative team.

    One thing I do note is that this is a TRUE BOOTCAMP. Meaning no matter...

    Digital Marketing - 10 Weeks

    I was intrigued to take this course after attending a Digital Marketing workshop led by the Digital Marketing instructor Sarah Budeja - her knowledge and skills are what really made me feel confident that taking this course would give me skills that would propell me forward in my career. There are various units within this course that were absolutely invaluable such as Google Ads, Google Analytics, Paid Search / Social and the list goes on. Something that is also amazing about these classe...

    User Interface Design - Online

    I chose to enroll in the online UI course at Brainstation. With my work schedule along with other commitments, I thought that would be the best approach for me. 

    I’ve learned a lot of technical skills about UI including InVision, Sketch, prototyping, wireframing and creating high fidelity screens in 10 weeks. My instructor were helpful and always made themselves available.  I would say the one negative I had, is I wish we had more time to get more in depth with sketch. I know tha...

    Intensive and Rewarding Learning Experience!

    Coming from a traditional accounting/finance background, I wanted to build the necessary skills to pivot my career into the realm of quantitive trading using machine learning. Reflecting on my personal experience, it was quite incredible how much we learned within 12 weeks of intense studying. There is no opportunity to slack around as we move incredibly fast, therefore, it is imperative to keep up with daily lectures and assignments. What you put into the program is what you will get out!...

    Wyncode Review- C33

    My recommendation to anyone coming to Wyncode is to spend as much time prior to the course as possible learning about coding.  Don't rely on just the prework to prepare you for the course.  Subscribe to youtube channels about coding, complete the coding modules on code academy, and learn as much about CSS, HTML, and JavaScript as possible so the first few weeks of the course go as smooth as possible.

    Incredible Experience

    I had an incredible experience at Wyncode.  The curriculum is great, the instructors are very helpful and they really work hard to make sure you get the most out the program you can.  The program is by no means easy, but if you are willing to put in the work you can get through it.  More than just teaching technical skills, they teach you how to learn quickly and efficiently and how to be comfortable being uncomfortable.  #NeverStopLearning.

    Full Time Web Dev Review - BrainStation

    I am going to keep this short and concise as I know everyone is busy! My time at Brainstaion was one of the best three month periods of my life. I came into the course unsure of the result, and concerned about the course load. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the learning environment was malleable, and the educators adjusted to suite your needs as well as strengths and weaknesses. From my point of view, their education model is somewhat of a futuristic approach, mainly in the sense ...

    Intense But Well Worth It!

    The data science bootcamp held in Vancouver is an intensive and fast-paced program. I was impressed by the amount of real-world skills attained over the course of only 12 weeks. Despite the limited time constraint, the instructors did an effective job at conveying the key fundamentals of data science/machine learning. If there had been an additional few weeks to the bootcamp, we would have likely spent additional time on more complex topics. Overall, the instructors were friendly and...

    Web Development - Full Time

    I was at a point in my career where I felt like I only had soft skills. I felt as though looking back in my career I hadn't really "progressed" that far in experience and when looking forward I felt a lack of trajectory.

    BrainStation gave me control over my career. I am now learning something new every week and even from the point of graduation (a few months ago) I feel as if there's an ocean of knowledge and skill gained.
