    Product Management

    I've had nothing but excellent experiences with BrainStation courses. The instructors are from reputable companies, they really care about the instruction, and there are tons of like-minded people that you are able to collaborate with. I cannot recommend BrainStation classes enough.

    BrainStation Data Science Diploma

    I enjoyed my time getting my data science diploma. It was a fun fast three months where I learned many new skills to make a career transfer. Someone is almost always available to answer your questions even if you have a lot of them. They provide a lot of information both in class and outside of class through slides, notes, articles and recommendations for further study. It was a great three months. Some things were learned quickly. Be prepared to continue learning things on your own time...

    Data Analytics

    I enjoyed taking the Data Analytics course because I wanted to have a deep understanding of how data can help many industries when analyzing data. Ryan Del Bel and Tatiana Sorokina were great instructors. They were thorough with the information they provided and always stayed after class ended to explain anything anyone didn't understand. I highly recommend the course with Ryan and Tatiana!

    Digital Marketing Course

    I am very glad that I decided to take this Digital Marketing course. I learned a great deal about the ins and outs of what marketers need to know in today's day and age. The two instructors were very knowledgeable about every single topic, and used real-life examples to assist our learning. Another great aspect was all the links to extra assistance on each topic at the end of each week's lesson, for us to use in the future.

    Machine Learning

    What a course ! 10 weeks and fast paced, this course dives right into the material. It starts with some background and builds on every class into different machine learning concepts such as Regression, Classification, Unsupervised Learning, Neural Networks, Natural Language Processing and Recommender Systems. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing my ideas for my project bear fruit. It was a serious work and time commitment, which wasn't easy with a full time job. However, I came out the other side...

    Incredible course!

    I completed the class through their online-live method and it was an amazing experience. Both instructors were very knowledgeable and eager to answer any questions we had. The staff at BrainStation were also very approachable and quick to respond to any message I sent them. The class really opened my eyes to a lot of Product Management methods I wasn't really thinking about. The instructors' real world examples helped to clearly explain any concepts. I definitely walked away with a brand...

    UX Design Diploma Program (Bootcamp)

    Taking the 12-week UX Design diploma program was the best professional decision I've ever made! Not only the program is very well structured, but they also give you career support and the tools to leave the program ready to take on a new job in your new career path. The instructors are amazing, they are experienced designers and know quite a lot about design best practices, making us feel comfortable to leave the program and be able to take on any job in the design industry.

    UX Design Class Great Intro to Beginners

    I took the 10 week UX Design class virtually from Sept - Nov 2020. The course material covered all the basics of design and required us to explore design tools. Throughout the class you'll be working on a project that you build on as you learn new material each week. The instructors were engaging and incorporated a lot of activity time in the class to learn to apply the skills we learned and to connect with our peers. By the end of the 10 weeks you have a project you can add to portfolio...

    Convenient and Comprehensive Learning!

    I found BrainStation when looking for a Canadian educational platform that would fit with my full time work schedule, and provide a certification in Product Management; something I haven't seen widely offered.

    BrainStation absolutely delivered. 

    I took a 5 week course, but there were multiple other options for different schedules. This one was ideal for me since it was on Sundays only. Though, if you're looking for less lengthy classes (these were fr...

    Great School for a great program (Data Science)

    I took the Part Time Data Science course with BrainStation and it was an amazing experience since the start. The school was quick and very responsive at getting back to me about my initial general questions about the course. The learning advisor was awesome in helping me out on choosing the right path and suggesting alternative. The whole experience before starting the course was great too. The school has an online meeting that prepares you for your first day and it’s very thorough. All ...

    Data Analytics Course

    I took the Data Analytics course with Brain Station, which looked into advanced excel functions, SQL, and tableau. The instructors were able to break down the content in a way that was easy to digest. They were great at keeping the class engaged with their enthusiasm, even though the course was taken entirely online and involved staring at a screen (COVID). They made themselves readily available during class and after class hours to ensure students had the opportunity to understand and a...
