    Great experience

    I thoroughly enjoyed my data science journey with Sharon and Paras. They introduced fascinating topics, making our engagement truly memorable! We had a lot of hand-on learning and great off-topic discussion.

    fast

    This has been an intense program. At times, I felt like I was ahead of the game and other times, very behind. You get taught a lot of information and focus on projects heavily. I learned a lot, made amazing notes and resources and built some solid projects. I think it was well worth the time and money and feel like ive got a good understanding of the concepts. It was hard though!! I would highly recommend having some insight into Javascript - working on the odin project before the camp w...

    My Experience with a 3-Month Web Development Course

    If you're looking to enter web development and have around $ 17k, plus a current job with no plans for a new one, this class could be beneficial for a quick learning experience. However, it didn't meet my expectations. I enrolled hoping to gain skills, earn trust from companies, secure internships, and eventually recoup my investment. Unfortunately, after graduating in April, I found that many companies didn't recognize the course for internships, leaving me jobless and out of funds for ...

    A good introduction to AI

    Enrolled into the AI course in order to gain understanding of the foundational concepts and get some guidance on usage, risks, etc. and I was not disappointed. It is a lot of material covered in a short time frame so staying on top of things was essential, instructors were patient and resourceful which helped a lot. Ending the course with a project and presentation helped with applying some of the concepts learned during the course and provided a good insight into what the rest of the cl...

    Web Development Bootcamp

    During my time at BrainStation, I enrolled in the web development bootcamp. Although I had no prior hands-on coding experience, I was initially hesitant about my ability to fully comprehend the course material. However, the structured syllabus, knowledgeable and approachable instructors, and helpful teaching assistants made my transition into this new career path much smoother. Thanks to the practical, hands-on approach to teaching, which was emphasized during class and project assignmen...

    The UI Design course was an incredible experience! The instructors were not only amazing but also highly knowledgeable in their field. Their positive and inspiring approach made the learning process enjoyable. I learned a great deal from this course and feel confident in my UI design skills now though I need to continue to work and refine them. Cheers!

    Amazing!!!

    The instructor was very helpful, and the course was very easy to follow. It was such a pleasure to study under Anas and Silvia!! Lessons on UI were very informative, the only suggestion I have is to create an agreement early on to ensure that no student will be cutting off other students with questions or interrupting the class.

    UI Bootcamp - Brainstation

    Overall it was a wonderful experience with great instructors that have industry knowledge, they were patient and understanding with all the students. They made the effort to make time for 15-30 mins after the end of each class for anyone to answer questions or show off the work they were doing and get a design review.
