    Trial by Fire

    I had been self-taught in Python for a few years. However getting the BrainStation Data Science diploma, accelerated my learning in an exponential way. From in class tutorials and code-alongs to assignments which made me want to cry, and then into detailed lectures, the curriculum was, without a question, thorough and accurate. I didn't know a stitch about data science and data analytics before BrainStation. Now though, I can speak intelligently about the intersection of business and dat...

    Review

    Amazing course materials. Lovely and Helpful instructors. The course was very informative,Patrick and Matt were a very efficient in this process . They focused on teaching us the concepts rather than just the formulas and really cared that we learned as much as possible. The course material was very helpful in forming my understanding of the investment banking/valuation oriented world so far.

    They offer it for free now after making me pay a year work of my salary!

    First, let me give you a bit of context, I am an immigrant in the US and I have spent over a year worth of my salary to this bootcamp. I'm an engineer with a master's degree with a 1.5 years of Data Analyst experience at a big tech company. I wanted to expand my skillset before I apply to jobs in the US and decided to apply to BrainStation DS Bootcamp. I told them I need help with the payment. It is already a lot but it is over a year worth of my work in my home country (not the money I ...

    Intense and Rewarding Experience

    I just completed the 12-week in-person Data Science BootCamp and can confidently say it was probably one of the most rewarding academic experiences I have ever had. The course is meticulously designed to get students up to speed with fundamental (and some very advanced) data science and ML tools. The educators are fantastic - they are incredibly knowledgeable and patient. The admin/student experience team is efficient and professional. The student body is varied, talented, and motivated....

    BrainStation Bootcamp

    My experience with BrainStation has been overwhelmingly positive. I feel that the curriculum was well-structured and covered the major areas of importance for UX, to learn by doing as the main goal. It is very fast-paced and can be challenging if you don't know what you're getting into beforehand. The instructors and TAs were great, each had a different style of teaching and a different perspective and area of focus, which helped to understand how vast the field of UX is.

    Great Experience

    I was a little worried at first that I wouldn’t find the experience rewarding but I can confidently say that it was an amazing experience. The curriculum was relatively comprehensive and the education team was really knowledgeable and helpful. 

    The course is great for complete beginners up to seasoned programmers (that are lacking in certain areas). I came in with a lot of personal experience with a bunch of different programming languages and technologies but I was lacking in the...

    Intense, but worth the investment

    There were many times when I thought I wouldn't get through it, but came out on the other side feeling confident that I have the core competencies to be an employable developer.  Not everyone gets through it, so you have to make sure that tech is something that you really feel like is the right path for you.  If so, BrainStation will offer you a great experience, and will prepare you well for the real world.

    Eye Opening

    After completing BrainStation’s bootcamp, it was really impressive to see how far I have come in terms of skills and readiness in the industry. I was thoroughly satisfied with the content that was taught during the 12-week period.

    Challenging, but Rewarding Experience

    BrainStation's bootcamp was very fast-paced and rigorous, but I learned a lot and met some great people along the way.  Having multiple educators for the same subject threw me off at first, but I think ended up being a great way to balance and get different perspectives on the coursework throughout.  I don't think it was the best format for me, but definitely took a lot out of the experience.

    Crash-course for UX Industry Essentials

    I signed up for the BrainStation in-person bootcamp to transition into the UX industry from being a studio artist. I have a background in design and a design degree, which I think helped me in this course. BrainStation would be a good fit for those who need to increase their understanding of Figma, work collaboratively with other designers and data scientists, get familiar with the design process, and build a framework for applying to UX jobs and a portfolio. There is support for graduat...
