    Amazing course

    This course was fun to do, I've learned the basics of Cybersecurity and have a good knowledge of it! This gave me the basic knowledge for Entry Level Job in this area. The instructors were patient and nice, they were both amazing and made it easy to learn.

    The best intro to UX

    Sometimes you imagine what feels like to understand UX, and then you jump in and actually swim in it. If you want instructors who truly understand the waters you have jumped in and can throw you proven preservers to help you navigate even better, BrainStation is the wave. I'm so excited to learn from proven professionals who understand the importance of design, technology, and the responsibility we have as humans to make sure it moves in the right direction.

    Great for exploring Digital Marketing

    I took this course for interest as I'm looking for ways to make myself stand out in the job market. The course was a great way to dip my proverbial toes into the subject and provided many avenues for me to explore further. The course and teachers kept the subject matter interesting and offered a number of free resources to use outside of the course if we are interested in pursuing this further. While this course won't get me a new job, it really helped me narrow my areas of focus and I d...

    Engaging and informative

    The course material was very engaging and informative. The instructors brought their industry experience every week which was very helpful. The content was very applicable and can be implemented in your job/business.
    One area I would like to see more is individual practical tasks to put what we have learnt in theory into practice

    Mr. Sambasivam was a fantastic instructor! He always put 110% of his energy into his lessons. If I were to start this course all over again a million times, I would choose Mr. Sambasivam to be my instructor every single time. Truly remarkable!

    Great for beginners

    I thought the course was great. It was brief but informative. For someone unfamiliar with UX and design principles it is a great introduction. Our teacher brought real world experience to the course to help contextualize everything. I do wish we spent more time on practical applications and actually learning the tools however it was still great.
