Excellent Learning and Networking Environment!
Overall, I enjoyed my experience as a Wyncode student. I greatly appreciated the tight-knit community and the support that was offered not only by my own classmates but also by the TAs, the other instructurs, and by students in other courses. The co-founders were very involved throughout this journey and I felt genuinely comfottable addressing them and other menbers of the administrative team.

Overall, I enjoyed my experience as a Wyncode student. I greatly appreciated the tight-knit community and the support that was offered not only by my own classmates but also by the TAs, the other instructurs, and by students in other courses. The co-founders were very involved throughout this journey and I felt genuinely comfottable addressing them and other menbers of the administrative team.
One thing I do note is that this is a TRUE BOOTCAMP. Meaning no matter how well you may think you know the material, because of the work load and the amount of projects, assignments, networking events, break out sessions, personal tech ventures, etc., there will come a moment at one point or another when it all may feel overwhelming, when you have no time to mindlessly do nothing with friends and family, and when nothing makes sense. However, this is completely normal, and the few who have the drive to persevere will be greatly rewarded by potential employers, investors, and other prominent members of the tech comminity.
There will be sleepless nights, most of your time will be spent at Wyncode (incliding nights and weekends), and your stress level and misery at the moment will drive you towards becoming closer to your peers than people would generally become with their classmates in traditional academic environments. We laughed together, literally cried together, and we often took care of eachother's children and pets while our classmates interviewed and presented. At Wyncode, you truly gain a new family and set of friends from backgrounds you never thought you'd have the opportunity to know so well.
The incredibly rich variety of content presented is both challenging and prepared me to better understand and learn other concepts and languages that were not part of the curriculum. They provide a complex structure of learning material and when presenting it, they ensure everyone understands what's going in; no one gets left behind. I feel a part of my academic curiosity was unlocked in a field area I never expected to be so interested in.
Again, my experience at Wyncode was far greater and more rewarding than what I had at any other higher education institution. I highly reccomend it, and I support their goals, vision, and methods of execution 100%! - milagroFront End Web Development - Wyncode • MiamiAug 09, 2019Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

After taking this class I feel confident I can take my career in the direction I want it to go in.

User Interface Design - Online
I chose to enroll in the online UI course at Brainstation. With my work schedule along with other commitments, I thought that would be the best approach for me.

I know that it was a part time course, but it would’ve been better to have more practice in class. Overall though, I enjoyed my time at BrainStation.

Intensive and Rewarding Learning Experience!
Coming from a traditional accounting/finance background, I wanted to build the necessary skills to pivot my career into the realm of quantitive trading using machine learning. Reflecting on my personal experience, it was quite incredible how much we learned within 12 weeks of intense studying. There is no opportunity to slack around as we move incredibly fast, therefore, it is imperative to keep up with daily lectures and assignments. What you put into the program is what you will get out!...

The instructors were friendly and did a good job of explaining complicated topics in a relatively simple manner. I appreciated that the instructors allocated time covering fundamental statistics and general programming before diving deeper into more complex topics. Furthermore, they were also happy to answer my plethora of questions and took time to help out wherever possible. As a whole, the Brainstation community is welcoming and the staff put in significant amounts of effort to ensure everyone has a positive experience.
If I could do it over again, one thing I would ask for is an additional four weeks to the program. This would allow us to cover more advanced concepts in further detail while also granting more time for our capstone projects.
This program helped uncover a hidden passion for machine learning which inspired me to advance my knowledge even further in a post-graduate degree focused on this subject.

Wyncode Review- C33
My recommendation to anyone coming to Wyncode is to spend as much time prior to the course as possible learning about coding. Don't rely on just the prework to prepare you for the course. Subscribe to youtube channels about coding, complete the coding modules on code academy, and learn as much about CSS, HTML, and JavaScript as possible so the first few weeks of the course go as smooth as possible.

Incredible Experience
I had an incredible experience at Wyncode. The curriculum is great, the instructors are very helpful and they really work hard to make sure you get the most out the program you can. The program is by no means easy, but if you are willing to put in the work you can get through it. More than just teaching technical skills, they teach you how to learn quickly and efficiently and how to be comfortable being uncomfortable. #NeverStopLearning.

I am going to keep this short and concise as I know everyone is busy! My time at Brainstaion was one of the best three month periods of my life. I came into the course unsure of the result, and concerned about the course load. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the learning environment was malleable, and the educators adjusted to suite your needs as well as strengths and weaknesses. From my point of view, their education model is somewhat of a futuristic approach, mainly in the sense ...

From my point of view, their education model is somewhat of a futuristic approach, mainly in the sense that you feel like you are learning and moving through every day on campus. I strongly reccomend BrainStation to anyone interested in the fields they specialize in!

Intense But Well Worth It!
The data science bootcamp held in Vancouver is an intensive and fast-paced program. I was impressed by the amount of real-world skills attained over the course of only 12 weeks. Despite the limited time constraint, the instructors did an effective job at conveying the key fundamentals of data science/machine learning. If there had been an additional few weeks to the bootcamp, we would have likely spent additional time on more complex topics. Overall, the instructors were friendly and...

What you put into this program is what you will get out. The more effort one puts into mastering the material outside of the classroom, the greater the benefit to them when working on their final capstone project and overall success with recruiting.
