    Web Development Bootcamp Overall Experince

    I completed the Web Development bootcamp at BrainStation in Vancouver, and unfortunately, I cannot recommend it. In my evaluation, the program's cost is unreasonably high considering the value it delivers. The recruiter made numerous assurances that, in my experience, did not hold true, and the overall learning experience did not justify the considerable expense.


    While the instructors were satisfactory, I discovered that comparable material could be accessed at a ...

    Transformative, Enjoyable, Whirlwind

    I studied the software engineering bootcamp at BrainStation in September 2023. I have never felt so rewarded from education. Teachers were amazing - campus was beautiful - support was incredible. Brainstation host a hackathon for all disciplines which allows you to win the opportunity to study a course for free. Luckily, my team won the hackathon and I am now able to study UX design course after my bootcamp program. So grateful to BrainStation for everything - could not recommend more!

    Digital Marketing Certificate

    Great experience, intimate learning setting, learned a lot. Mark and Girish did a fantastic job of providing a broad perspective of digital marketing, yet honing in on the intricacies of each subject. The group presentation did a great job of getting us into the mindset of being a digital marketer.

    Product Management Course at BrainStation

    I really enjoyed the course. The instructors were amazing and class was very dynamic with students asking a lot of great questions. I am transitioning from Project management to product management so I feel I need a lot of self study in order to be able to transiton to product management.

    The course is well-structured, covering essential aspects like product strategy, Agile, prototyping, and go-to-market strategies. What stood out for me was the hands-on, project-based approach, which made the learning process practical and applicable to real-world scenarios.
