    I was taking UX course this year

    I recently had the pleasure of attending this school, and I can confidently say that it exceeded my expectations. From the moment I stepped onto campus, I was impressed by the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The faculty and staff were incredibly supportive and went above and beyond to ensure that I had everything I needed to succeed.

    Great course!

    It was a great course. I really enjoyed learning about UX Design and meeting other people with similar interests. It is definitely a really fast paced and dynamic experience. The tutors are experts in their field so they had insightful examples to share with us. There is plenty of support available, you just need to ask.

    Great instructors and a great class

    The 10-week data analytics class at Brain Station was a great resource in expanding my data analysis skill set. The class is taught by industry professionals that were able to provide real-world examples and explain use cases for what we were learning in class. The instructors are clearly experts and did a great job of breaking down complex data analysis tools into easy-to-digest content.

    Fun & Inspiring!

    I really enjoyed my course at BrainStation (Data Analytics) - the instructors we approachable and offered their "real world" scenarios throughout the semester. Immensely helpful during the final project phase as they were alway readily available via slack.

    Wish I did it sooner

    The Data Analytics class helped me better understand how data is queried. I now can query my own data at work, have more meaningful concerstaions with my developers, and build amazing visualizations to help tell a story.

    A Wholesome Experience

    I didn't realise when I first got into this course, that there would be so much I would gain from it. The tutors were awesome and had a great way of teaching that you don't realise the information actually stays with you. I found the experience refreshing and so rewarding. With so many new skills learnt from the UX Design course, I feel it has helped prepare me for the future.

    Review of Digital Marketing Course at BrainStation

    My favorite part of this course was the real-world examples given by the instructors.  It really helped create context for the lessons so I could learn not just the theory but the application.

    Digital Marketing BootCamp

    This was a great class! The only feedback I would give is to have more hands-on experience with the software with the instructors or in an actually signed up and signed into account. I am hoping that after the class we are able to have help with job placement!

    Good bootcamp, tough market

    I graduated BrainStation's bootcamp in September 2022 and felt I was taught enough to teach myself the remaining fundamentals of front end web development. The 12 week window was too short to fit a true full stack bootcamp and backend suffered due to that. However, I did gain the skills to figure out the missing pieces post bootcamp.
