    Overall Wonderful Experience

    The education team at BrainStation is incredible. The overall learning experience was incredibly engaging and an amazing experience.

    I came into the bootcamp with some knowledge of HTML, CSS and (very little) JavaScript; I was able to learn so much more and build on the foundations I already had. I now feel confident making full stack web applications. It is a rather challenging 3 months and the days can be long, but the education was phenomenal with very supportive staff that wil...

    SEM Course put me on the right path!

    Absolutely loved the SEM course at BrainStation. Although it's going to be a long haul to reach the level I'm hoping to reach, instructors Emily and Ahmet put me on the right path to achieving and reaching those goals. All the information was presented in a tightly packaged and digestible way.

    Data Science Bootcamp

    From ingesting and cleaning data, statistical analysis and theory, to machine learning and neural networks - the DS bootcamp was incredibly challenging and rewarding. Each day was spent hands-on-keyboard practicing the skills necessary for weekly project deliverables. The pace of a 12-week program is unforgiving, but with good time management and open dialog with instructors, my success was supported throughout the journey. I feel confident in the technical skills I've gained as well as ...

    Rigorous data science covering programming to stats to machine learning

    This program is super thorough and pretty intense. From the initial application challenge, to the weekly deliverables, to the final capstone - there was quite a hands-on doing that really helped make the material stick and left feeling very confident in my ability to execute. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable about all the diverse aspects of data science as well as how data science operates inside a larger commercial enterprise.

    To top it off, there is an excellent job s...

    Wonderful learning experience

    I've taken Python and Web Development courses at Brainstation since 2022. My first impression was the learning advisor that reached out to me and explained about the program and also payment plan. It took me less than a week to decide that I wanted to take the course. I started off with Web Development and it was a blast for me because I never code before but I always liked working with computers so I had so much fun learning it! Instructors at Brainstation are very helpful throughout th...

    Fantastic and fresh learning experience

    This course helped me to build on my previous education in User Experience design especially in strategy and usability testing. While I have performed user interviews and usability tests before as part of my previous program, this course provided a more detailed understanding for me. The steps involved in the strategy unit showed me that there is so much more to learn from users during interviews than I previously thought.
