    Great experience at Brainstation!

    My instructors were so helpful in guiding me through the technicalities of data. analysis. I came into the course with little knowledge, and left with a strong hold on data analytics. 
    Very friendly instructors, gave great insights into the industry.
    A little expensive, but all bootcamps are around the same price. They were very accommodating with a payment plan!

    Social Media Marketing Certification

    Through my seven weeks completing the Social Media Marketing Certification with BrainStation, I had a great experience with taking the course and feel I was able to take my marketing skills to the next level. The course content is very well set up and developed, covering all the latest trends and topics going on in social media and my instructor was able to make each class engaging.

    Bridging the gap between online learning and real life experiences when it comes to Machine Learning

    I had a great experience taking this 10-week Machine Learning course remotely at BrainStation. The class size was very small (~5 students) and was lead by a lead professor and an assistant professor whom are knowledegable machine learning practitioners with years of in-field experience.

    This course was challenging if you're rusty at statistics or programming but the 10-week course allows you enough time to grasp each complex topic. Our weekly courses had a 3.5 hour lec...

    Great Intro to the Relevant Basics of Front End Web Dev

    I took BrainStation's 10-week Web Development (virtual) course in August 2020-October 2020. I'm currently a UX Product Designer and thought it would be great to learn more about how my designs are actually coded and implemented by the team I work with. I had a high-level knowledge of HTML and CSS from my undergrad studies in some Web Design courses but it has been quite a while so many of the concepts while familiar I did feel like I was learning for the first time. I really liked the st...

    Great Experience

    I took this course online, it was taken over a 10 week period and I opted to take it Monday evenings from 6:30PM - 9:30PM since I work full time M-F until 5:30-6:00PM most days. I have zero design background, and so was a complete newbie to UX Design. I found the course content really insightful and well-paced, and at the end of each module, they had additional links with extra resources to learn more, I recommend going through this to supplement your knowledge (as it is a lot to learn)....

    I have never done a true online learning course and I really enjoyed Design Thinking from BrainStation.  It was a great deep dive into the topic along with a very practical assignment that carried through the entire 2 Sundays we were in class.  I'm looking forward to brining this knowledge into my next job.

    Data Science short course

    The course is very well planned and curated according to the current industry trends and needs. It covers all aspects of data science and builds a constructive logic and thinking mind working towards problem solving.
    It does cover lot of concepts in a short span of time so lot of effort is also required from the studentso(new to data science) , to eagerly learn about new concepts and practice them.
    For people who are already familiar with data science concepts, this course will be ...
