SamGraduate • Data Science Course • New York CityApr 23, 2019Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceIntense 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...
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 happy to help out with any questions. Highly recommend this program to anyone interested in a career within data science!
What you put into this program is what you will get out. The more effort one puts into mastering the material outside of the classroom, the greater the benefit to them when working on their final capstone project and overall success with recruiting.

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.

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.
I'm now working full time at a fintech company and I'm making about 20k more than I was before. This gets me excited because not only do I love what I do, but I get compensated well for it (even for an entry level position).
For anyone questioning whether they should take this course you'll need to ask yourself these few questions. Are you ready for a challenge? Can you sit in front of a computer for hours on end trying to learn (which does get easier with time)? And are you willing to take a risk to give control over your career? - BonnieApplicant • Web Development • TorontoApr 15, 2019Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great Class
Within a short period of time I was able to learn so much about web development. In the end I was able to make my own website and have it be responsive. This course has sparked my interest in coding and now I want to learn more!

Part-Time Data Analytics
I joined Brainstation’s Data Analytics Winter 2019 session with Brand Ambassador Program. It was a pretty big class (15 persons) with a diverse background (private and NGO, for self-learning and for office productivity). Our 10-weeks class was mainly thought by Nabeel (he was clear in explaining themes and data terms for ordinary people like me – thoroughly recommended!) supported by Nicole when it was closer to final project (she was patient and very constructive in giving feedback along ...
I joined Brainstation’s Data Analytics Winter 2019 session with Brand Ambassador Program. It was a pretty big class (15 persons) with a diverse background (private and NGO, for self-learning and for office productivity). Our 10-weeks class was mainly thought by Nabeel (he was clear in explaining themes and data terms for ordinary people like me – thoroughly recommended!) supported by Nicole when it was closer to final project (she was patient and very constructive in giving feedback along the journey to our final project). Both instructors were brilliant data analysts, and I wish I could spend more time to learn from them.
The classes were progressing very quickly, and you need to be self-disciplined to get the most of them – reading materials before class and practice the exercises. The primary challenge was creating your final project. You and your team will set the tone on how deep your final project will be – and I was lucky to have mine as we were having so much in finding New York City’s drunkest neighbourhood!
Overall, I recommend this class for those who are totally new or just have a basic understanding of data analysis. Understanding advance Excel, SQL and Tableau definitely bring its perks to your work especially if you want to present data into a professional, polished look without looking "too-extra" and to be comfortable with numbers and storytelling of the numbers.

I took the BrainStation Data Analytics course from January 2019 to March 2019 and a really awesome experience. The whole course, from the way it was managed to the material that was taught, felt very professional and like there was a lot of thought put into it.
The professor was very approachale and used relevant examples from his field of consulting work to help introduce complex concepts to the class. He was very patient and most of the course felt very interactive, with the students following along and working through each program (SQL, Tableau, Excel) together.
I work as a strategist for a marketing firm and took the course to become more data literate and advocate for a data-backed appraoch to strategy. I learned a lot about data management, what constitutes as good data and how to clean up bad data. The group project helped us apply our learnigns and is where we practiced gleaning insights from big data sets.
Since the classes are only once a week it's really important to try to make it to all of them. I did however have to miss one class and the professor offered to give me a quick one on one session before our next class. The more you put into staying on top of the course material and doing the assignmnets, the most you will get out of it. The course is also a great way to meet people working in an industry that you're either hoping to get into or trying enhance your current role in.
All in all, I had a great experience and will definitely be taking another course in the fall!

I had a really good experience with the BrainStation UX Design part-time course. This is a 10 week long course that meets once a week in the evenings. Because it's only 10 classes long, it's VERY fast paced. The environment was great though - being surrounded by other professionals who were motivated to learn was greatly motivating for me too.
