    Informative and Supplementary

    Since I actually enrolled in the Brainstation course before getting my job at Kaseya working in IT sales, I still opted to go through with the course and complete it. I am glad I did because the content presented by our great professor, Matthew Lowe, was the perfect supplement while I was getting my own introduction to IT and cybersecurity at my job. I have already recommended it to several of my co-workers.

    Wonderful Course

    I had tried a bunch of free courses but struggled not having an instructor live to answer any questions I had or show examples. I decided to sign up for Brainstation and i'm very thankful I did. The instructor did a wonderful job explaining different topics and showing many examples. He answered questions very well. I recommend this course for those interested in web development and would like an instructor that able to answer all questions.

    Great Experience, Engaging and Informative

    The instructors and overall experience was great. The teachers were helpful and resourcesful, engaging with students when needed in breakout sessions to better help them understand content or provide helpful guidance to solutions. My only critique would be course material vs how much time we have to cover it all. Some of the sessions felt rushed because of questions taking up time (normal of course), but then felt slightly lost as we rushed through the rest of the class.

    Making data fun!

    I joined the Data Analytics course at BrainStation and absolutely loved it. We had two great teachers who dove into excel, mySQL and Tableau and not only took us through the main pieces we needed to learn through slides but gave us the tools to follow along in class, kept time open for labs where we could try everything out in real time and ask questions, and our final project was an open ended project where each team got to pick a topic that was most fun for them. This was a great exper...

    Valuable. Practical. Engaging.


    I recently took the Product Leadership course offered by Brainstation. Overall, I found the course to be extremely valuable and well worth the investment.
    The course covered a wide range of topics related to product leadership, including product strategy, product development, team management, and customer insights. Each topic was presented in a clear and concise manner, with plenty of real-world examples and case studies to illustrate key concepts.

    Fun UX Design course

    Instructors very patient and knowledgeable. It is quite a small class, only about 10 people. The courses focuses a lot on user experience, which I found interesting as I have worked more on user-interface in the past. Overall it was a very good course.
