    Challenging & Rewarding Experience

    This bootcamp was jam-packed with so much information that is overwhelming at first but when you take a moment to thinking about it, it’s so amazing to realize the sheer amount of skills you learn, both hard and soft skills. All of the projects, group assignments, and experience working with industry partners made this a unique and impactful learning experience.

    Intense, collaborative, thorough

    I learned alot through collaboration. I liked having a little extra guidance from instructors and a very hands on TA. My portfolio is much stronger now, especially since we did our hackathon with UKG.

    Educational, Intense, Creative

    I learned a lot from this class! I didn't have much experience with coding beforehand, but by at the end of the course I created a nice looking webpage. There was a lot of educational material provided by the school and education material on the internet. My teachers guided me and this is what helped me gain the capabilities that I needed.

    The class was challenging which changed me as a person. I was shy when I started out in the class, but I gained confidence after I proved that ...

    This program is excellent for an absolute beginner to become an advanced web developer. The instructors are patient and always happy to help. My only regret about this course is that I wish I would've done this sooner

    Phenomenal

    As a recent graduate of Brainstation's Software Engineering program, I cannot recommend a better program for those considering a bootcamp.  The instructional staff, which included multiple talented teaching assistant's from prior cohorts, provided exceptional support throughout the course while the projects and learning materials are exceptionally curated.  The course is tailored for beginners, however gives plenty of opportunities for students to move outside their comfort zone.  I cann...

    Hyer-focused Lessons by Enthusiastic Teachers

    Entering the 4-week course, I knew the classes would be dense and fast-paced. But what I didn't expect was the retain all of the information by the end of the ~8 hour session. This alone is thanks to the wonderful instructors Aadil Khan and Emi Sato. They were both punctual, knowledgeable, and prepared. They also had a very good sense of awareness when it came to information overload, and would prompt a short break or lunch right when it was needed.

    On top of this, the course stru...

    Instructive above all!

    What most stood out to me, consistently across the course, was the caliber of talent Brain Station brings on. Each instructor for my digital marketing course was both well qualified to lead the course and also generous in the time they took to lay it out using practical, real-world examples. They also invited everyone in the course to connect through LinkedIn and never hesitated to go the extra mile to teach or support when the need was there. Grade-A experience!

    Really insightful course

    The Brain Station Data Analytics course was really thorough and went into a lot of technical detail. As a PM, I now have a really good understanding of how to use SQL and Tableau, which helps me collaborate better with my data and engineering colleagues and understand more about where data comes from.
