    Product Management - Winter 2016

    I'm currently taking the part-time Product Management course at BrainStation and can't say enough good things about my experience so far! I was looking to learn new professional skills to help me progress in my career, but I wanted to learn something completely new. I work in Marketing and thought learning about Product Management/Development would help me have a better understanding of the products that I'm "selling" every day. Not only has all of the course material been completely appli...

    Not worth it

    The curriculum is not worth $10,000. Most of the time you are using code school to learn. The hiring rates are inflated by unpaid internships. You pay $10,000 and can't get your money back so basically have to make the best of it. During project weekends there are not enough TAs. Also they give out projects before material needed to do the project is even introduced.

    Dear Anonymous, 

    Thanks for the feedback. We'd love to talk more about what is included in the cost of attending our program (workshops, events, 24-hour access to coworking space, resume reviews, etc). We value feedback, which is why we get together every Friday to allow students the opportunity to share their concerns and what we could do to improve the experience. We are fortunate to have instructors available around the clock, and if there was a weekend where that didn't happen we'd love to know. We understand the value of supplemental material and our Instructors encourage students to use various platforms (code school included) to learn. They are experts in the craft and have had roles as CTO's, startup founders, and teachers. We have some pretty awesome systems to keep the lines of communication wide open (Slack, 1 on 1's, GoodMeasure etc.). We understand it is an investment and totally agree that the experience is what you make of it. Our current 4.9/5 star rating can attest to our commitment to a high-quality experience. As you'll find in the majority of reviews here, students recognize the life-changing impact attending Wyncode provides. I'm sorry you had some challenges with some of the material - we'd love to support you and invite you to a conversation about how to set you up for success. 

    Thanks, 

    Carlos Vazquez (Admissions Director @ Wyncode)

    iOS Development Review

    I am currently on week seven of the iOS Development course at BrainStation. This course continues to impress me with the challenges we face every week. I was looking for a challenge and was definitely able to find it.

    I've been programming in Java for nearly two years and was excited to try an experience with a new language. I was expecting the transition would be tough at first, but overall logic is logic and I will pick it up quite quickly. I have been continuously suprised wit...

    The iOS cohort was a curiousity due to the lack of reviews for it found here.

    Wyncode Is For Wynners!

    When I realized I wasn’t happy at the company I worked for I decided no amount of money or title can make me stay in a role that was not rewarding and kept me away from my family for long days at a time. At that point I decided to take a leap into the unknown and I resigned. Figured I'd take some time off and go back to work in 6 months but only in a role that was flexible and offered great work-life balance. However, 2 weeks after quitting I found out I was 1 month pregnant. Oop...

    Best Summer Ever

My dad (through a family friend) found out about Wyncode and researched into it, and told me I should apply.

The course does not only teach you how to code, it gives you access to a pandora box of insider knowledge of programming world, it also steers you through a direct and clear path to become a professional developer where you can sustain interest and living, as a developer. The coding is only one part of the course, the whole package includes the soft skills, the business a...
