    Insightful. Collaborative. Cohesive

    I highly suggest taking this UX course in person! UX design is a joint collaboration and feedback, and for an accelerated course, it has a more immersive experience when you get to talk to fellow students and professors. I can see how I can apply what learned in my career, without feeling overwhelmed.

    Great learning experience!

    This was a great learning experience. It gave me a first step for learning SQL and Tableau. Also there were teachings in Excel and analyzing data. The instructors were patient and helpful. I would recommend this course.

    UX Design was exactly what I was looking for!

    I had a wonderful experience taking the UX Design course at BrainStation’s Miami campus this spring/summer. It’s a very fast pace Figma-based course, so practicing the software and keeping up with the pace of the class is key. I really enjoyed all the knowledge the instructors brought to the classroom, from their real work day to day. As a former Creative Director, I highly recommend it if you are looking to expand your skills or pivot your career!

    Data Analytics Course has Room for Improvement

    The course could use more practice problems with solutions available to compare your answers. The instructor I had was not very engaged in the course as they were doing it as a side job. They did not come prepared to class and we had a lot of silent moments when they had to fix or solve something. We also heard "let me google that" a lot, which just shows how the instructor did not prepare the class ahead of time. Additionally, the instructor was not very skilled at explaining concepts. ...

    Product Management at BrainStation

    I recently had the incredible opportunity to take the Product Management course with  Instructors Stacy and Matthew, and let me tell you, it was absolutely phenomenal! Stacy's expertise and enthusiasm were simply infectious. Her ability to break down complex concepts into easily understandable pieces made the course a breeze to follow. And Matthew's real-world experiences as a product manager added a practical and relatable touch that brought the material to life. The course content was ...

    Good for starting new career

    I took UX certificate course at BrainStation for shifting my career. The course has 8 classes and they cover basic knowledge about UX design through a project. I felt a bit tight schedule to learn whole process of UX design in this course. We have to use Figma which is a key tool for UX design. Probably it will be a bit difficult to go through this course without Figma knowledge, but you can ask anything to learning support team with Slack. The teachers are professional, and they advised...

    From nothing to a plan.

    The mix of in-person lessons and Brainstation's digital education platform was perfect for me. In-person classes fostered open discussion, and the tutors could more easily share personal anecdotes, while the digital element allowed me to easily refer back to all of the previous lessons when I hit a snag, or even have a quick look at the next week's lesson to get a head start on some of the concepts. Great platform and knowledgeable teachers, I highly recommend it.

    Great introductory course

    Over the course of 8 weeks, our experienced teachers taught us what product management entails, using examples from their extensive careers. The lessons were highly interactive and the whole group was engaged. Having to submit a final project really helps you practice what you learn over the course of the lessons.

    A solid foundation for data analytics

    The Data Analytics class was an incredibly fun learning experience. The course covered database structures, SQL, Tableau and some basic presentation skills. All in all, it felt like a solid starting point in data analytics. The instructor was knowledgeable, approachable and fun to be around, and always available to clarify concepts and answer questions.
    The class structure was mostly well-organized, with a mix of lecture and lab content during the sessions supplemented wit...
