    Importance of Storytelling

    As a project manager this course was good in reiterating the importance of empathetic storytelling in the product development process. It linked this through strategy, design and developement. The facilitator was awesome.

    Web Development

    This is honestly a great program but, you have to be motivated to put in the hard work. The code isn't going to write itself so you have to research and work your way through things but this is an amazing course, I loved the whole experience. It was an intense 3 months but, I got through it and gained so many new skills as well as having a change of mentality about how I work. Highly recommend BrainStation.

    For anyone looking to level up in SEO, SEM, Google analytics, this is literally the place to be.

    User Experience Design

    I'm impressed with the amount of information and skills I acquired through my UX Design course at Brainstation. Mina skillfully and pleasantly guided us through conceiving a problem, to creating a solution via a clickable prototype, and the many steps in between. The online classroom experience was amazing, and I made friends all over the world.

    Data Science Course is Fantastic!

    The data science course is great for those who have some background in Python and data analysis. Through this class, I learned how to clean and model data, which is the basics of machine learning. The teachers were fantastic and they related everything to practical use. It's fast-paced, but the teachers are great at keeping you up to speed. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who's looking to start on machine learning and data modeling.

    Digital Marketing Diploma

    It was a great program, VERY intensive.  Not for the faint of heart.  It takes longer than 3-months to be an expert in any industry, but this course definitely sets you up for success as a Digital Marketer.

    UX Course

    Had a great experience with the course. Definitely not as intense as a bootcamp as this was just a certificate course, but instructors were all willing to help outside of class time and had great feedback. Would recommend this to people who are unsure of whether or not they would like UX/UI as a warm up :-)
