    Very thorough

    The course was very thorough and the instructors were knowledgeable and approachable. I think it's hard to get the content right for such a diverse level of experiences in the room, so didn't find that all the lessons were all that relevant or helpful for me, but managed to always come away with at least one good learning.

Would definitely recommend.     ***** After some recent instances, I would like to update my review. While the course instructors are great, the curriculu...

    Stressful yet rewarding

    I took the web development bootcamp at BrainStation a very intensive twelve week experience. The program is very intensive and fast paced if you aren't fully dedicated you can quickly fall behind and either quit or continue the course but not get as much as you would have hoped out of it. If you are planning on being dedicated for twelve weeks and attempt to get everything you can out of the course then you will end up having the experience and knowledge to achieve what you want.

    Great intro course

    I really enjoyed the course, especially the interactive portion of each lesson. Irfan and Nick were very helpful in explaining the topics well and staying engaged. I do wish there was a grades component to the course because anyone and everyone can pass the course with minimal effort.

    Amazing Experience

    Being a student at BrainStation was a great experience. Over the course of three months, I learned so much and got to demonstrate these skills through all of my projects. The educators and staff at BrainStation was very helpful and supportive. The cohort as well was so great - every student was friendly and a pleasure to collaborate with :)

    Insightful Fun Quick

    This online class was informative at a pace that suited my schedule and needs. Personally, I am a visual learner, so the slides and additional links were helpful as a reference once the class was over. It was great having a guest lecturer from Facebook as well as opportunities to attend related events both in person and online. The final project was a group project, which can be challenging with fellow in different time zones and with various obligations, but we used Slack to help us coo...
