    Product Management Course

    Extremely satisfied with the teaching methods and outcome from the 10 week Product Management course at Brainstation. The course instructors were actual professional practitioners of Product Management and that they used a lot of real life examples from the industry or their own personal experience as Product Managers which really helped drive home the point. 

    Absolutely recommend the Product Management course from Brainstation for someone wanting to move into this area or is alre...

    Data Science (Part-Time)

    The part-time data science course offered by BrainStation was overall a great experience. With only a brief overview of Python, it is recommended that you already have a solid foundation of Python as the course dives into more complex topics later in the course.  It's a great overview for understanding data science however this one course on its own will not make you a data scientist.  Highly recommend for anyone who wants to improve their Python skills, and start to understanding the wo...

    Data Analytics

    The BrainStation Data Analytics class is the perfect introduction to data analytics. You learn advance formulas in excel, get familiar with MySQL and Tableau. The instructors are experienced in the field, very knowledgeable and friendly. The exercises and project are similar to industry requests and are relatable so as to learn the skills needed if you were working in the field. Practice outside of the class is definitely required.

    This class was superb!

    I wasn't sure what to expect-even though we were given a syllabus to review. The instructors assigned to this course were coming from excellent areas of business. I loved AI and VR (and I particularly enjoyed the agile learning concept) it took the pressure off of learning and how to apply the material.

    An incredible experience. The entire team at BrainStation is impressive. Talented professionals who work in the industry and practice what they preach.

    Data Analytics Certificate - Highly recommend!

    If you're looking to become a solid data analyst, this is the course for you! I really wanted to get a better understanding about the work of a data analyst, and how to work more closely with data in my day -to-day life, so I took this course to help me understand how to interpret data and present it (either in a professional setting, personal writing and also within the scope of my job)

    UX Design & UI Design Part-Time

    I took the part-time UX Design & UI Design class and absolutely loved it. It really helped me learn a lot within a small period of time. I would highly recommend them. I also love that they use instructors that work at bigger companies like Shopify or ShutterStock to really understand what really happens at these companies.

    User Experience Design course

     I took the UX design course at Brainstation. Each class is made up of practical exercises that help in understanding the concepts taught. I will recommend this course because it has given me a solid foundation on which I can continue to build my UX design skills. Also, I was introduced to Figma and I'm currently building my designing skills using this software. It's all thanks to the guidance and support from my instructor at Brainstation.

    Amazing Instructors with a Well Thought Out Curriculum

    I had an overwhelmingly positive experience in the Full Stack Web Development Program. If lectures peppered with opportunities to test your understanding sounds like your learning style, and if you want enthusiastic instructors who genuinely want  to hear your questions, then Wyncode will be a great fit for you. It's an intense 10 weeks but so worth it if you're ready to work hard!
