    Disappointing Experience: Lack of Support in BrainStation's Data Analytics Course, New York, fall 2023

    I signed up for an online 2.5-month Data Analytics course with BrainStation in the fall of 2023. Before I signed up, the salesperson promised that the course was for beginners and that after finishing the course, I'd have a great portfolio to show off on my resume and stand out and receive a job. They also said I'd get support from the community of BrainStation graduates and another participant to work on my resume and find a job.  Two instructors wer...

    Fast & immersive jump into UX/UI Design

    I really enjoyed my time diving into the Brainstation UX Design Course, though it sure got a bit more intense as we moved along. Having an instructor who's in the thick of the UX world made all the difference. They shared loads of real-life insights and examples that just clicked with everything we were learning. Now, I'm super excited to put the finishing touches on my final project. It's going to be a key piece in my portfolio when I start applying for UX/UI Design jobs.

    Challenging fast difficult

    I thought the BrainStation Data Analytics 8-week course was well done. Now that it's over I am glad we reviewed everything we did, but I will say that during the course, it felt like we were moving at lightning speed. I included this in my mid-course feedback, but think that during the course, I could have used more smaller, actionable pieces of homework, and ideally the opportunity to review them as a group (instead of just sending an answer key). The instructors were great and everyone...
