    Software Engineering BootCamp London In Person

    This course really over delivers on the prospectus. It is very intensive, but if, like me, you want to get to a point where you can build-out some tech ideas as soon as possible then this is the course for you. The teachers are incredible, the structure and pacing of the materials has been carefully considered and the management around the delivery of the course itself is first rate.

    If you're attempting to learn Web Development from online providers  (e.g. through YouTube or Plur...

    Super intensive bootcamp, great support, highly recommended

    I learned SO MUCH in the 2.5 month of the data science bootcamp at BrainStation! The pace is very quick, and it is ESSENTIAL you come prepared - at least able to code in Python, know basic stats and linear algebra.  The educators are amazing, very good student to teacher ratio.  Amazing sense of community and career support.  I highly reocmmend it.

    Great content, Great instructors, Great insights

    This is my fourth course with Brainstation, and evidently so. They just know how to properly deliver information to help you further your career. The AI course was no different than the others. Brent and Matt were ready to provide valuable insights, build upon the class's knowledge and experience and further conversation based on their own day-to-day experience in the field. If you're someone who's seeking information about AI and ways to apply it in your role, business, or just for fun....

    Intensive and focused

    I never expected to have the chance to even go to a software engineering bootcamp, let alone study and work all day on projects and code-alongs. BrainStation Miami was a golden opportunity, and one I do not regret in the slightest. From morning challenges to collaborative projects, from frontend and backend lab work to resume and career building opportunities, this bootcamp was well worth the time and the effort.

    Learning is entirely up to me but the instructor(s) make it easy to pull more out of it if I desire to ask questions. Adding a couple weeks to the course wouldn't be a bad thing, same curriculum. Wenjie-Sun is a great instructor

    Exciting!

    I am someone who has worked in retail for over 10+ years. Was motivated for a career change and wanted to gain a new skill and took the opportunity to take a UX course. I came into my first class completely blind, nervous, and 0 knowledge of how to even use a computer/laptop (I’m a terrible millennial)! Rana and Jason were such personable kind instructors who taught the class using real life work experience to explain everything throughly. Although my general lack of tech knowledge, I en...

    Wonderful Bootcamp for Aspiring PMs

    My experience at BrainStation was wonderful! I went for Product Management, which was an in-person PM course for 8 weeks. The instructors were highly skilled in their area and provided lots of relevant examples happening in the industry right now. The content was very informative, and I liked how the class was very interactive. The final project allowed me to get to know my teammates and apply the learnings from class. During non-class times, the instructors provided async support for ou...
