    Great material, amazing instructors

    Very intense and very useful. Amazing instructors and support and the material was very good. I thought that the job assistance was good and complete, although I would have liked for the speed interviews to incnlude more companies for Data Science (there were only two companies) and more contact with companies hiring Data Scientists in general.

    Super fun and Informative!

    I absolutely loved this course and loved the 2 instructors - Alex and Carmiel. I learnt a lot and had fun throughout the 7 weeks. I wish the class was 10-weeks, I wanted it keep learning from the teachers and hear more from their personal career experiences. Thank you BrainStation, Alex and Carmiel!

    Fun and Educational Program

    I just completed the 10 Week - UX Design Certification course with Brainstation. I had a wonderful experience! I met like minded humans from all over the world and had inspiring instructors who are currently in the field and were kind and helpful along the way. I do recommend to gain some Figma knowledge prior to attending this course. I entered the program as a beginner to Figma and so much for your work will be conducted on that platform. Don't get me wrong, I've learned so much about ...

    Product Management Course

    Overall a good introductory course on product management. I found the material very basic and introductory. A cursory google search on each topic would have surfaced more information. The teacher was great and extremely knowledgeable, but the material was bad. You also don't even get to keep the material.  Not recommended for anyone with any amount of previous product management knowledge.

    Transformative career change though rigorous and in-depth content, preparing you for the industry.

    My time at BrainStation has been very transformative to say the least. The entire course goes very in-depth into all different aspects of web development and more; Content you learn is then applied to amazing projects that are very challenging. My instructor for web-development were Anvit and Jim, they were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. The course materials were clear and concise. Although they say the boot camp requires zero knowledge before starting, I'd highly recommend lookin...

    Excellent Certificate Course in UX Design

    Challenging, enjoyable but excellent course at Brainstation. At the half way point but really enjoying this course. Really well organised & very good support with excellent tutor. I would love to continue studying once completed and do the bootcamp which I am sure would be a brilliant course to do where you would carry out several projects. I would recommend for anyone wanting to learn UX for the first time or wanting to enhance their digital skills.

    Great content, excellent delivery.

     The Product Management course at BrainStation was great.  The instructors were senior level Product Managers who had a mastery of Product Management topics.  They kept the course engaging with group sessions and videos throughout.  I have a much better understanding of the role a Product Manager plays, and how varied it can be for each organization.  I definitely recommend this course to others interested in pivoting to Product Management roles.

    I spent a lot of time browsing different schools on course report weighing the pros and cons of different bootcamps before I ended up choosing BrainStation based on all the positive reviews and more importantly the vast amounts of graduates that ended up in big name companies. Even then I wasn't sure I had made the right decision but I am so glad I chose BrainStation.
