    Helpful and challenging but not for everyone

    I had a great experience at BrainStation for UX Design, it was challenging which was really much needed for me. I found my educators to be engaging and my TA was extremely helpful and supportive. While I learned a lot during my course, I do feel like a certain level of the field is required to be able to grasp the content and do well. The educators were good during lectures, however a lot of the time my classmates were really the ones to help each other out. I did really our group projec...

    Challenging but inconsistent

    Definitely not beginner friendly. You need some type of background in the field to be able to keep up with the program. The curriculum overpacked with extra projects and hard to follow them.

    Challenging

    Going into the boot camp, I was told that there would be a lot of work, late nights and dedication. They weren't wrong. It was a transformative program and that came with a lot of work. I was very tired at the end and needed much time to sit and reflect which I didn't have time to do during the course. The educators were experts in the field and very knowledgeable which made the program feel distinguished and I could trust their judgement and values. The school had a good sense of commun...

    Product Management Course

    The product management course was very informative and provides a comprehensive review of the day-to-day role of a Product Manager. The teachers provided anecdotes of the realities of being Product Managers, which was very insightful and gave me a better perspective as to whether it's a job I want to actively pursue.

    Product Management Course

    I thoroughly enjoyed the course. The instructors were great at explaining each section. However, I wish the curriculum had more examples or explanations for students who are new to the the PM/tech.

    Great course - Product Management

    Course was great! Touched on a lot of concepts, including Agile. Instructors provided a lot of great industry examples, and not just from digital or e-commerce companies but in other industries as well. I would highly recommend this course if you are looking to enhance your professional knowledge, have no clue about PM, wanting to change careers, want to better understand how to work with PO's or even if you want to start your own company or have a great idea and not sure where to start....

    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...
