    Web Development

    I couldn't recommend Brainstation's Web Development course more! 

    Each concept was explained clearly and thoroughly. We got a lot of learning value out of each class.

    Zach taught the lessons at a good pace - one that was easy to follow for beginners but also provided enough challenges to ensure growth. Adam made sure that all of our questions were addressed and explained concepts very clearly. 

    The student support at Brainstation is great as well.

    Great classes

    I had a fantastic experience while I studied at BrainStation Vancouver. The instructors were always presenting examples and trying to explain the hardest things in an easy way.

    Machine Learning is an amazing field and I'm happy to have had the opportunity to study the concepts at BrainStation.

    I'd highly recommend this school because they really want to accelerate students' progress.

    Data science full time

     

    I cannot believe  how much I was able to learn in 12 weeks. The class was challenging. We learned skills that I feel are practical and applicable. The course is suitable for ones without coding background but if you have some statistics knowledge it would be easier.I would absolutely recommend this program to those who want to shift their career to working with data.

    User Interface Design - 10 week online program

    I completed the 10 week User Interface course in December 2019.  I really liked the flexibility of the online elarning environment, although there can certainly be pros and cons to this format.  I think you get out of what you put into online learning.  One thing that impressed me is that if I had a question, communicating on Slack was super easy with my cohort and also instructors and the broader school community.  So that was great to help fill in blanks if waiting for more feedback or h...

    Graphic Designer turned UX/UI Designer

    I was a graphic designer for 15+ years. I felt very stuck in my career, my salary had hit the ceiling and although I had worked in various industries the type of work was always the same. Print design and a bit of web/app design that was really designing in the dark because it wasn't data driven. I would receive a creative brief with some cursory research at best and be expected to design a successful app or website. The people I worked with didn't know any better and frankly neither did I...

    I did not know that my life was about to change the way it did. It was a GREAT experience, I learned a lot, more than I could learn by myself. I applied for the full-time Full Stack Web Dev program, and now after finishing the program I can confidently say that I feel developed a valuable skillset, and not just that, now my network in the Tech scene is growing so fast, and it makes me feel that I'm in the right place.
