    Good, not great

    Teachers are really good, friendly, and very helpful. The courses gives you an okay understanding of what a product manager does. However, if you are looking to get into product management without any previous experience it might not be the best idea. The course does not help you with interview prep or skills to the extent where after taking the course you will be able to become a product manager - unless you have previous dev / design experience.

    Excellent and Caring Staff

    BrainStation overall was an amazing experience that really shined through the quality of instructors and staff, and their willingness to help their students. I was very fortunate to receive teachers and the extended career team who cared so much about our success. However I feel the experience could be variable for its students if they were in a different location with a different set of instructors. I feel this could be amended with a stronger curriculum, and a focus on the entirety of ...

    An intensive bootcamps with great community

    I participated in an intensive full-time UX Design bootcamp. For the duration of the 3-month program, we were challenged significantly and had to put our personal lives on hold. The first week was a bit concerning since we were placed into groups and meant to create an app concept in 1 week (a sprint) with little guidance. It turns out that it was meant to challenge us and take us through a mini version of the entire program in 1 week, and we would eventually learn how to do things the r...

    Great way to upskill.

    This course was a great way to upskill yourself if you have some experience, or looking to continue your learning. I found some classmates who had no expertise struggled with MySQL understanding. It is designed for beginners but some of the advanced ideas can be hard to understand. I do wish there was more outside-the-classroom help because there are only 10 classes trying to get answers to a specific question or multiple questions means that you have to wait until that class when you ar...

    Eye opening and Intriguing

    My brainstation experience has been amazing overall. 
    The instructor used everyday examples in discussions to drive the points home. 
    The instructor has been approachable throughout the duration of the course which makes it a bit easier especially when you’re stuck.  He is/was constructive regarding feedback related to projects. I feel  more confident going out into the tech world after my course.
