    Concise but effective!

    I am extremely satisfied with my experience at BrainStation. The two instructors at the school are truly exceptional. Their wealth of industry experience not only makes the material easily understandable for all students, including myself at 47 years old, but also adds a unique perspective to the learning process. Additionally, they create a fun and engaging atmosphere in the classroom. The class size is optimal, offering a diverse mix of cultures and educational backgrounds that enrich ...

    Excellent instructors and learning content

    I have completed the UX Design Course and highly recommend it. Instructors were very knowledgeable and provided valuable market insights. They were also very good at keeping the students engaged throughout the lessons, which is very important for an online course. The learning material was excellent and very informative and the platform was easy to navigate through. I had a great experience and highly recomend the course to anyone looking to start a career in UX.

    A Journey

    As someone with no background in Data Science, it was a solid introduction into that world. Instructors were always there to help support and guide you along on your first steps. The institute provides you with a wide variety of skills necessary in navigating the job markets. Staff are always kind, respectful and eager to tend to your needs.

    Rigorous Path to Success

    I came into the online Full-Time Data Science Bootcamp at BrainStation with little to no code experience. From the start, the course was rigorous and thorough. Being stressed was an understatement and right away I was sure there was no way I could do this stuff (especially because many of my peers had coding experience). Fortunately, I worked hard and had amazing teachers that helped me get through the first week. Then again the following week, and the next. The program never got much ea...

    An Intensely Paced Broad Exposure to Data Science

    The pace of this course is intense.  The instructors are fantastic, and are consistently available to meet privately to help out.  The content of the course is well laid out.  However, the pace of the course means that topics are covered quickly, and much extracurricular study is required to bring these skills up to a level that could be considered employable.

    My Time at BrainStation's Web Dev Course

    This was a great experience with getting an initial overview of web development and the possibilities of front-end development. I took this more as a personal interest course and feel that I have learned valuable content to help me work with other developers and continue developing my skills. The instructors are supportive and provide ample resources to ensure you understand all the content.

    Intense, personable, and very well organized.

    Brainstation's in-person software engineering bootcamp is intense, personable, and very well organized. My student success person, Linda, was accessible during my onboarding process and walked me through every step. This is what sold me on the bootcamp - the human touch. Linda readily answered any questions and liaised with other departments to find out answers that she didn't have. My cohort had 16 people, and in some classes, there were 5 educators in the room helping different student...
