    Data Analytics Course

    The journey at Brainstation was excellent. It must have more sessions included in the course to get more in depth knowledge and learn more practical knowledge from Jonathan and Matt. And the whole journey was incredible.

    Enlightning and entretaining

    My instructors aurora and carlos help us throughout the whole process, the course gives you introductory knowledge of marketing and goes in depth into some of the topics. I found it especially helpful in the topics of google ads, analytics and SEO. The course also reviews topics like influencer marketing and social media.

    Brainstation.io Biased admission process and waste of time.

    I'm writing to express my disappointment with the recent outcome of my application for the UX Design bootcamp at Brainstorm.
    Despite completing all required tasks and receiving assurances about my submission's quality, I was informed of the rejection without explanation. Requests for feedback were denied, leaving me concerned about the fairness and transparency of your admission process.
    I urge you to review your protocols to ensure fairness and transparency for all applicants.

    A really good opportunity!

    If you have a little or some foundation in programming before, I highly recommend you to come to this bootcamp, although the course is very intense, but it can really give you a rough knowledge system in this short three months, together with those hands on projects, it will let you quickly understand the corresponding concepts and knowledge more efficiently than watching online tutorials to learn on your own.
    But if you really have zero knowledge of programming and have never even he...

    Excellent experience, would recommend!

    The Product Management course led by Guy Walker and George Odiana exceeded my expectations. Coming from a marketing background, I was brand new to this topic and slightly apprehensive about whether I would 'get it' and whether I could really succeed in an online course (it's been years since I've taken any kind of course, I was rusty). My concerns were quickly squashed by Guy and Walker who delivered the material in an incredibly thorough and engaging manner, allowing the class to partic...

    EAT,SLEEP, BREATHE, CODE!! Hard work and dedication does pay off - Thank you Brainstation!

    Coming from an Interior Design background with no experience in Software Engineering, this program was amazing. Although I have to admit this is not for beginners, a person needs to have at least some experience to fully absorb all the content due to the pace of the program! On the other hand, you learn to learn faster and not to fixate on what you do not know because EVERYTHING is reviewed.  I'm proud to say I have completed the Software Engineering Bootcamp and will continue my education...

    Rigorous and rewarding

    I completed the online part-time Software Engineering program over 8 months. The content and pacing were great! They don't call it a "bootcamp" for nothing. In the part-time program, you need to devote 40 hours per week; not easy when you already work 40+ hours per week. I would recommend this to anyone, but definitely would not do it again.

The course content aligned well with my Salesforce learning path and was paced appropriately for someone working full-time.
