    UX/UI Immersive Course

    My experience with Wyncode began before I knew I wanted to apply to their UX/UI program. I attended their one-day UX/UI introduction bootcamp. The introductory bootcamp helped answer many questions I had regarding the in and out of the career and what a day in the life of a UX designer actually consisted of- which led to my decision to register for the following cohort. Now, months later and an official graduate I can speak on the experience from start to end. From the start o...

    Not enough skills for the real world

    UX Bootcamps can work for some students. I would say students who come with very strong visual backgrounds, graphic designers, illustrators, industrial designers and such. Who want to further learn the ux process and enhance their careers. In my case, after dishing out 13k (an enormous amount of money), I walked out not knowing enough visual design. I felt like a good con artist, I can say design process couple of times and I had done 3-4 sprints. But when my employer asked me to use any...

    Data Science

    Data Science course was very interesting. Starts from the fundamentals of pandas then gets into the statistical theory concepts. The best part is being able to choose a data set that you're interested in to apply the techniques taught.

    Great experience

    I really enjoyed this course. I think they did a good job of covering the basic tools and skills someone would need to become a Data Scientist. This is also a great course of marketers like myself, who are looking to up our data skills and learn a bit more about data visualization. 

    This was the first online course I took with Brainstation and the format worked out well. It was over video so we were able to engage with each other and we could all talk to and have conversations abo...

    I took the 5 week online live Product Management course with BrainStation and it was an amazing experience. It took place every Sunday from 9:30am - 4:30pm for five weeks in the comfort of my own home. 

    Some of the things I learned included how to identify market opportunities and user needs, allowing me to build a successful product and solution. After creating a comprehensive product launch, defining a minimum viable product, positioning, and pricing, I felt ready to manage a pr...

    I recently completed a Digital Marketing course at Brainstation. It was the easiest, most informative course I have ever taken. Larissa, our instructor, was super friendly and helpful. I’m glad I took this course and will most likely take another one soon!

    Great intro to Data Science!

    Very thorough data science curriculum. Welcoming and engaging classroom environment. Nishant and Sri were great instructors!

    Some exposure to coding and/or Python would be beneficial but not necessary. Once you learn the basics of Python logic/syntax (prep-course and Week 1), the pace of the course is very manageable and provides lots of time for in-class and online questions and discussion.

    Full Stack Wed Development Course, HTML/CSS/JS/RUBY/REACT/RAILS. Amazing Academy/Bootcamp - 10/10 would recommend to a friend. On top of all the programming/coding skills we have learned (which has been incredible), what I value most is the sense of community, support, world class staff (from the Owners to TA's), and energy that Wyncode has to offer. That, in addition to the networking opportunities and friendships/relationships we all have developed over the course is what makes Wyncode...

    User Experience Design Certificate

    Highly recommend the User Experience Design Certificate course to anyone looking to learn more about the topic. I am amazed by how many concepts we were able to cover in just 10 weeks! The virtual option made it possible for me to complete this course while working full time. Additionally, as UX Design professionals themselves, the instructors brought real-world examples to class discussions and offered helpful insights on the field.
