    Great experience, well balanced course

    Fully recommend Brain Station and the teacher Mark Iantorno who as a experienced developer was able to present and teach class in the very approachable way for every level.
    Practical learning is my preferred way and this course definitely offer this. After finishing course I feel confident with what I learned and with all tools provided throughout the course. If you think of trying it out, just do it.

    Must Do, Amazing & Helpful

    Hello, I just completed a Cybersecurity certificate course from BrainStation. It was really helpful in understanding the small and important details related to Cybersecurity and Information technology in today's world. Instructors are from the industry and who have plenty of experience on technical and legal/ compliance side of cybersecurity.

    Empathetic teachers & helpful templates

    The best part are the teachers: very engaged, kind, willing to push further and give real world examples, and willing to give feedback and help. The class is both broad enough to cover all aspects of product management, but limited enough to have some tactical examples. 

    This class is best suited for someone with little to no tech experience as it gives a broad primer to all PM activities and the tech landscape. For people already in tech or adjacent jobs, it can be a helpful refr...

    Helpful course, great instructors. Learned some useful best practices and tips. I wish we were able to get a little more hands on with certain features on Figma. Overall class is good, covers a lot of content over just 8 weeks.

    Overall, I found the course to be informative and valuable. I suggest incorporating more hands-on training exercises throughout the course. It would be beneficial to include more tools that digital marketers commonly use in the industry. The instructors were great and I definitely recommend BrainStation!!

    Eye-Opening Incredible Worth Rewarding Challenging

    BrainStation's coding bootcamp was one of the most rewarding and enjoyable "school-adjacent" learning ventures I have ever taken/been apart of. As someone who was never fond of school, the way It was taught and all the other annoyances with education, BrainStation managed to find a way to keep students engaged, involved and constantly learning. As a graduate of the online program I cant say I found myself losing focus, drifting off or becoming bored with the content material or how it wa...

    Amazing Data Science Intro Course

    This course teaches basic to advanced Python, such as how to explore and analyze data in Python and machine learning algorithm types and applications. Even though I studied Python and Machine Learning algorithms before taking this course, I learned a lot. I could understand the statistics behind the logic and codes better and apply all those points to my own project. The best part is that the instructors are industry experts who are data scientists and machine learning experts in the cur...

    interesting did not expect this

    Overall I learned the basics of digital marketing however it was interesting that at the end of the class, 60% of the students dropped out already. I was hoping the class will be more fun like most marketing courses where instructors and students interact more + did more hands-on activities. There are days when I felt like the instructor is just reading off the slides very fast.
