    Rewardingly Stressful

     I joined the bootcamp with only basic HTML and CSS knowledge, and by the time I finished, I was building full-stack web apps! The program is fast-paced, and you’ll feel like you need more than 24 hours in a day just to keep up. But the reward is well worth the effort. The instructors I had, Ed and Joseph, were incredibly helpful and made the intense learning process so much more manageable and enjoyable. If you’re ready to dive in and dedicate yourself, this bootcamp will push you furth...

    Information, holistic, exciting

    I had a great experience with Brainstation's SWE Full-Time bootcamp! Instructors are very knowledgeable and available, and it's crazy to look back on the things you've built post-bootcamp and how far you've come. I'd definitely recommend the bootcamp as a great way to build the foundational skills necessary to transition into SWE, or build some technical knowledge to become a Technical Product Manager!

    Superb Quality Education

    I am not an average student. At the ripe old age of 59, I decided to pick up some new skills before hitting 60, and against the advice of a number of colleagues and friends I deliberately opted for what I imagined would be the toughest course around: a Software Engineering Bootcamp.  I like a challenge.

    I had limited computer science knowledge, but have been a technophile for decades, and unlike in my previous career as a TV producer, where creating anything requires vast resource...

    A Very Precious Three-Month Learning Experience

    An irreplaceable team collaboration experience, learning the latest and most standard programming techniques in the industry, with daily access to teachers and TAs for answering questions. Compared to self-learning, it greatly increases the chances of career transition, allowing you to see the gap between yourself and industry professionals, learn how to set goals, and complete your own independent project, taking the first step into the industry.

    Empowering, Interactive, Introductory

    This was a very cool experience to go back to school and learn new skills. The content was very helpful and the final project helped us apply our new skills. It was be great to have more 1:1 time with the instructor. The class is introductory so it's very limited at only 8 weeks. It moves fast and you have to do a lot of work outside of class. Class was more helpful when we  got through all the slides and were able to ask questions while still having time to do the in-class activities. I...

    Intensive but great experience

    An intensive and exhausting but really enjoyable time is coming to an end and I have to say it was really empty. I was lucky with the class, there were relatively few of us and that was an advantage given the amount of material. The teaching team is very committed, the course is manageable but you have to do something. You have to see it as your full-time job and sit down in the evenings and do the assignments or recaps. The material starts at a certain level, but you can certainly catch...
