    BrainStation Web Development Certificate Course

    I just completed the BrainStation Web Development Course online which was led by Jim Rectenwald and Yathan, SE's at instagram and slack.

    Immediately Actionable Insights

    I found myself taking what I learned in class and immediately looking for implementation opportunities at work. After every class, I would message my teammates on insights we could leverage. Digital marketing is a very wide field but the small class size made it easy for my instructors to tailor the material to our businesses and areas of interest for each of the subjects covered. A huge shoutout to my instructors, Felipe & Sarah, for sharing their professional experiences, both good...

    Informative and Supplementary

    Since I actually enrolled in the Brainstation course before getting my job at Kaseya working in IT sales, I still opted to go through with the course and complete it. I am glad I did because the content presented by our great professor, Matthew Lowe, was the perfect supplement while I was getting my own introduction to IT and cybersecurity at my job. I have already recommended it to several of my co-workers.

    Wonderful Course

    I had tried a bunch of free courses but struggled not having an instructor live to answer any questions I had or show examples. I decided to sign up for Brainstation and i'm very thankful I did. The instructor did a wonderful job explaining different topics and showing many examples. He answered questions very well. I recommend this course for those interested in web development and would like an instructor that able to answer all questions.
