It seems like not to long ago when I was reading through these reviews praying for an opportunity to change my career, and here I am today. I graduated in July & was able to start my new career in November with a QA role. It was a privilege to learn coding, growth mindset, and about the tech ecosystem from an amazing team that has a contagious passion for what they do. My onboarding was smooth & possible thanks to Matt & Don. Had amazing instruction from Austin, Tim, Angel, Patricio and Andy. Had a ton of support and resources provided during the post graduation job hunt by Miguel, Beto, Milad, Kip, Johanna, and Juha. If you are considering making a career change this could be really your opportunity. Try learning a little about Object Oriented Programming while considering if this is for you(CodeAcademy has free beginner courses); Wyncode often has workshops that let you test the waters. Also, landing a job after graduation is not like magic, it requires patience, diligence, and a continual lifestyle of learning & coding. Prepare yourself financially should you decide to set apart this time in your life to change your career. Most importantly do all your prework & more. Post graduation advice would be to go to all the Wynworks & follow their advice/instruction. Thanks again to the entire Wyncode Team who made the beginning to this new journey possible. - James RousselLead UX Specialist, eCommerce, Rogers Communications • Graduate • Search Engine Marketing • TorontoVerified by LinkedInDec 07, 2018Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great Experience, will come back to Brainstation for sure!!!
It was everything that I expected and more. The instructor was a knowledgeable industry expert that has a real-life industry job. I totally recommend the Brainstation SEO, SEM and Analytics Certificate.

BrainStation - Real-World Experience!
I have nothing but positive things to say about BrainStation! I took Social Media Marketing and loved it. The learning environment is dynamic and collaborative.

A thorough learning experience, an attentive staff, and unparalleled career support!
I had a fantastic experience at Wyncode academy. The curriculum is designed around building real working projects and getting your hands dirty. For someone with very little modern coding experience (I'd only built a few HTML sites in the days of AOL & dialup), it was somewhat jarring to dive in head first, and my brain felt like a fried egg at first. As you progress through the course, though, it all starts to click. All in all, I would say that it was appropriately grueling in the bes...
I had a fantastic experience at Wyncode academy. The curriculum is designed around building real working projects and getting your hands dirty. For someone with very little modern coding experience (I'd only built a few HTML sites in the days of AOL & dialup), it was somewhat jarring to dive in head first, and my brain felt like a fried egg at first. As you progress through the course, though, it all starts to click. All in all, I would say that it was appropriately grueling in the best way. The instructors are brilliant and teaching assistants are knowledgable and always readily available to help you wrap your head around some of the more difficult concepts. The space is open 24 hours a day for current students who may want to hang around and code all night, as it can sometimes be distracting to work at home.
The highlight, however, is the amazing post-graduation career support. I have heard from graduates of other bootcamps that they learned a lot, but after graduation they were sent out into the industry with a pat on the back and very little assistance. Wyncode has a phenomenal network of hiring partners in South Florida (and a few abroad) who have hired many of their graduates, and that list continues to grow. The career support team is also very attentive and dedicated to help every graduate that is looking for work.
One last note is that Wyncode truly does feel like a tight-knit community or, perhaps, a family (at the risk of sounding overly sentimental). You will undoubtedly meet the founders of Wyncode during your time there, and they will help you with advice and even reaching out to employers on your behalf. All in all, this was a great experience and more personal than some of the bigger bootcamp "franchises" that open up shop all over the world.

I just finished the 10 week Fulll Stack Web Development course and it was an amazing experience! I can't believe how much I learned in such a short amount of time.

The BrainStation community itself was relaxed and inclusive, I certainly didn't feel uncomfortable or pressured into any sort of "networking" that I wasn't ready for. Being an introvert, it's important for me to be able to come in and learn right away without small talk. BrainStation offers this environment.
I would recommend this course to a friend or colleague seeking advancement in their product management skills and knowledge, especially if they didn't have much time to devote to a full-time course. - PioGraduate • Full Stack Web Development - Wyncode • MiamiVerified by GitHubOct 20, 2018Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Incredible Experience
I started Wyncode in early August of this year. I can honestly say I've never learned so much from a school in such a short amount of time. Before starting the course, I had never had any programming experience. My background is in music and I was skeptical about how much could really be taught about a subject in just 10 weeks.

Amazing Intro to HTML/CSS
I took Brainstation’s part-time Web Dev course.
For me BrainStation's Intro to Web Dev course seemed like a great option to dip my toes into the world of HTML and CSS. Taking a full-fledged coding bootcamp felt way to risky, given the fact that I have never coded/worked in the industry before.
The course is geared towards people with little to no experience in coding, but I would say that a tiny bit of knowledge of HTML would probably be helpful in the beginning, but not en...

For me BrainStation's Intro to Web Dev course seemed like a great option to dip my toes into the world of HTML and CSS. Taking a full-fledged coding bootcamp felt way to risky, given the fact that I have never coded/worked in the industry before.
The course is geared towards people with little to no experience in coding, but I would say that a tiny bit of knowledge of HTML would probably be helpful in the beginning, but not entirely necessary, as the first couple of classes are dedicated to going over the basics.
The course is taught by people currently working in the industry which allows them to be able to relate the content to real life examples from their day to day activities, in turn making the course feel much more grounded in reality.
Each class has a hands-on project which I found to be key to quickly understand each concept covered throughout the "lecture". Instructors go over the projects to clarify any questions and are always available to help and guide through finding a solution if you are stuck.
It has been remarkable to me to see how far I have gotten in just 10 weeks. I went from only knowing a few bits of HTML elements - but not well enough to create even a basic site - to having actually created a site to be used as my resume, it works well and looks professional, something that I wouldn't be embarrassed to show to others. - TaylorGraduate • User Experience Design • OnlineVerified by LinkedInSep 20, 2018Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The teachers were so knowledgable about the content they were presenting, and provided real work experiences wherever they could. It felt like I was not only learning the content but also how its applied in the real world.
This course was thoroughly enjoyable and a great foundation for continued learning and I even feel comfortable applying to careers in the industry.
