    Great learning environment

    What I liked best about BrainStation was the relaxed atmosphere in the classroom. It was really laid back and collaborative. Instead of the teacher talking for 3 straight hours, there was a lesson, and then we had time to work on our projects and ask questions. All the learning was hands on and I applied most things I learned directly to my project. Everyone else in the class was friendly and gave me lots of feedback on my work.

    Love the Educational Model

    I'm taking BrainStation's Digital Marketing course and so far it's been awesome. I'm a university student, so BrainStation is a breath of fresh air. I'm used to lectures with hundreds of students and 1 instructor. My Digital Marketing class at BrainStation is about as far from that as possible. The class is small and we have 3 instructors. All of them are so helpful and knowledgeable. They're always happy to answer our questions and provide feedback ...

    Intense

    It's hard to sum up my experience at Wyncode. It was definitely one of the hardest and most gratifying 9 weeks of my life. Within that short time you will learn the basics and fundementals of web development and more importantly teach yourself how to continue learning well beyond the program, meeting amazing people all along the way. The pressure to do well is entirely in your hands, though, and that can either drive you, or cripple you. That being said, if you stick to it no...

    Life Changing Experience

    I recently graduated from a local State University with a marketing and business background. However, I wasn't fulfilled with the work I was doing and realized I wanted to learn new skills and better equipt myself for my professional career. I did my research and decided to commit to the Wyncode program. 

    My experience summed up:

    • Long days/nights writing code
    • Learning how to learn
    • Problem solving
    • Developing Apps

    Wyncode, with its disruptive learning environment, throws you headfirst into an intensive and stimulating experience. The staff is supportive and encouraging - especially Walter! He had an amazing presence in our class, always passionate about our learning and keeping our spirits high.

    From 0 to 100 in 9W

    Wyncode is an incredible program that in just 9 weeks teaches the fundamentals of programming and gives you a strong base in coding so you can keep learning. This program helps not only in your technical skills but also in your business basics. They will definitely help you land a great job. 

    As a startup co-founder I wanted to learn how to code and not feel cheated when I talked to developers (just because I did not have an idea what they were talking about)....

    It's worthy.

    So, if you are willing to quit your job (if it applies), sleep less than 6 hours per day (sitting in a computer) or listen to a class that you barely can understand, you are ready to do Wyncode. You learn how to build stuff and to know how stuff is made, start making your own projects, and work in an awesome environment. This is the right place to do it in Miami.

    Cheers!

    Wyncode literally changes your life.

    Before Wyncode I was in an IT career fixing computers, which I enjoyed and solved problems, but it was not self-fulfilling and the environment itself I was not a fan of. From the pitch day of the previous Wyncode I knew I wanted to be a part of what was going on in Miami. Once I started at Wyncode I knew I wasn't looking back.

    The Wyncode program is very daunting while the course is in progress. But, it's like that for a reason. All the stress you're put und...

    9 Weeks = New job

    Wyncode may seem intimidating for those staring into it from the front gates, but as an Alum, take it from me: "Wyncode Produces Quality Programmers."

    In a very short amount of time, less than a typical SINGLE class (9 Weeks) ANYONE can learn the true fundamentals of coding, and what it takes to make a career of it. Wyncode accelerated everything about me. My business expertise, my coding knowledge (Troubleshooting Knowledge), and my own character development. Its ...

    The Great Disrupter.

    Besides knowing how to embed custom music-players back in the early-MySpace days, I had zero experience with code. I feel more accomplished right now than when I graduated from FIU (Florida International University) with my B.A. In today's world, it feels like getting a degree from a college that isn't in the top 20 is subpar. A lot of people are growing increasingly desensitized to these pieces of paper. I personally hide mine because, to me, it's a reminder of how&...

    A transformative experience

    Wyncode is the sort of experience that changes people. We are not the same when we leave as when we entered. In just 9 weeks time Wyncode will give you the skills to be a truly valuable member of any development team, or even to go off and create your own path. From a solid curriculum to tireless efforts at job placement, Wyncode does it all, but what is most valuable is their commitment to the people that come through their doors.

    life changing experience

    I made a really tough decision to drop everything I was doing in life and take a chance on Wyncode. I'm glad I made that choice and I can proudly say that I am a web developer being hired before even finishing the course. I had a great experience at wyncode. They had great course material and the instructors and staff were amazing. It's a tough nine weeks but if you stick with it you will learn how to do some amazing things.
