    Web Development

    The whole experience is great! I really felt like learning all over again, and brought that passion about studying like I was in collage. I did the full time (just 3 months) and felt like I wanted more of it! Takes you a lot of time and work to go by every task they ask you to perform but it is great to get some practice in your code. I learnt a lot during my time as a student, but as freshly graduated now I'm finding it hard to get my first job, as I thought the market would have a lot ...

    Graphic Designer

    This bootcamp gave me what I needed to transition to a UX designer role. Even though I was familiar with the design principles, the research and process were all new to me and I was able to produce the necessary projects for my portfolio. We had the most amazing TA's and educators that were available for any questions you had. I was able to make some great friends and connections; it was a supportive environment.

    Product Management Course Review

    This is a very helpful course, I learnt not only the concepts but lots of hands on skills. The instructors are very experienced. The class discussion and real life examples/case studies are the best part of the course. A practical and mind-opening course.

    Digital Marketing Course

    This class gave me a great place to start in my digital marketing career. I now feel more confident in my social media & SEO skills. I loved how engaging my class was, we always chatted throughout the week. My teacher, Ryan Rebello, was amazing. He answered each and every question we had & explained things very clearly using real-world examples. I've already attended a BrainStation Networking event via Zoom, and really enjoyed hearing from successful BrainStation Alumni.

    Data Analytics

    Instructor (Varun) for this course was great! - I was hoping this course would be more focused on the theory and best practices but what I realized after taking this course is the only way to learn best practice for SQL was through experience. I think this course could be helpful for SQL beginners who just want to get a bit of exposure into what SQL and Data analytics is. Anyone with existing experience with SQL or as an analyst in a tech company may not find this course valuable.
