    My journey with BrainStation

    Switching careers is scary but Brainstion's bootcamp made it possible. After 8+ years in marketing, I took the plunge into the Software Engineering bootcamp and found educators who genuinely cared about my success. The assignments, hackathons and industry projects were challenging in the best way, forcing me to problem-solve like a real developer. 

    While I wish we'd spent more time on backend technologies, the program gave me a solid foundation in full-stack development. If you're...

BrainStation proved me wrong.The Software Engineering Bootcamp was incredibly well-structured, equipping us with best practices and transforming me into a confident professional in just three months. Beyond the technical skills I developed, I also grew personally—developing stronger communication, problem-solving, and adaptability skills.This was ...

    Huge Skill Upgrade Relevant For Industry

    Transform To The Data Science JourneyI recently graduated from BrainStation's online 12 week Data Science Bootcamp, and the experience was nothing short of transformative. Coming from a primarily accounting background with little to no prior experience in tech, I was slightly nervous about starting my tech journey. You could even say I felt a little like Nemo swimming on and trying to find his way in a new world. However, the bootcamp’s structure and hands-on approach gave exc...

    Worth your time & energy

    I took the course because I was interested in refining my technical skills but was having a hard time keeping myself accountable. The intense schedule & deadlines kept me on my toes but the bootcamp gave me so much more. The classes were very informative & collaborating with other students in the labs made it easier to grasp concepts and at the very least struggle together. I've also come out of it feeling more confident in my skills than ever. I think the little time we had to w...

    3 Month Intensive Learning!

    I had joined Brainstation due to several people in my personal network who successfully transitioned their careers in a non-traditional way, into the software industry. While I had intended to attend in-person, the program was filtered into online which I was initially hesitant about, having heard so many great things about the in-person experience. I found that it took a bit of adjusting to learn online, but also helped me save a lot of time that I was able to invest back into further l...

    Useful, Inspiring, Challenging

    One of my favorite thing about the bootcamp was helping me discovering where my personal strength and weaknesses are. I didn't realize I have a strength in doing presentations and business research until presenting presenting for the Capstone Project and the Hackathon. The instructors were very supportive and patience with all my questions and days of freaking out, always finding a way to calm my nerves and encourage me to keep going. The material was challenging for me as I didn't have ...

    A life-changing experience

    The BrainStation Software Engineering bootcamp has been a life changing experience. The courses were detailed, relevant and very hands-on. It is quite intensive but I'm glad I took the chance even when I didn't think I would make it. The Educators, TAs and Career Success team are very experienced, knowledgeable and supportive individuals who helped me along and got me job-market ready.
