    Web Development

    I used to work in retail before I started the web development course at Brainstation. They were very understanding about my financial constraints and offered me a scholarship to help as well.

    I took the 10-week Digital Marketing course via Online Live, and it was excellent. The course platform is intuitive and easy to use, creating a seamless learning experience. The material was relevant, and my instructor was not only knowledgeable and experienced but always open to answer any questions and great at encouraging us to learn more. I'd recommend BrainStation for anyone looking to improve their tech skills.

    Intro to UX

    I like the learning experience in the campus. And how the curriculum is balanced. The instructors with their work experience bring a lot of input to the group. I really appreciate the environment and the connections with others. Although I did a part time I felt invited to be part of a big family.

    Highly recommended!

    I knew I would learn the technical skills involved in web development but I got so much more out of the experience than I ever would have expected. BrainStation has made me a more confident person and has helped me find what I really want to do with my career path. The culture in the classroom is unlike the culture I've experienced in traditional schooling - everyone is a lot more supportive of one another and not only focused on their own progression. I learned how to learn quickly and ...

    BrainStation UX course

    My overall experience with the User Experience Design 12-week course at BrainStation was amazing! Not only were the educators well experienced in the field and great teachers, but they also offered many insights about the real-life industry. I enjoyed being able to participate in many sprints with other classmates, which I think is an experience that you can't get while self-learning. I do wish however that the program would be more hands-on with the career finding process. Any resources...

    A Worthy Investment Wherever You Are

    I signed up for the 5-week Product Management class scheduled to run on Sundays. I am based in Nairobi, Kenya, and this meant that I was always going to be 7 hours ahead of my instructors and classmates. The time-zone difference was no hinderance to the online live class. The course content was rich enough to see me actualize a business idea into a live product. Through the class project, and working jointly with a classmate, I managed to define user stories, a unique value proposition a...
