    Great introduction to data analytics

    This course was a really good first step into data analytics, covering advanced Excel, beginner SQL, and Tableau. The instructor and TA were great at conveying concepts and were patient in answering questions. Homework assignments were good practice for getting more comfortable with the material, and we always went over the answers in the following class. This one course isn't enough to prepare you for a data analytics career, but it is a really solid first step. Would recommend!

    Good starting point, great environment

    It was a great experience taking Data Analytic course in Brainstation and improving my SQL skill. However, I would improve the content. There are some slides in the content that are not much helpful. Instead, I would devote the time to practice in class.

    The class was definitely fast paced but I learned so much!! I was able to utilize the lessons for my business and it's been game changer! I loved how the professors took their time to teach lesson and make sure we understood everything. The class support was definitely there and I really liked how everyone cheered for each other during our final presentations.

    Engaging, interesting and helpful

    I took a Product management in-person course. I loved it. It is worth every penny. The instructors are very experienced. They shared a lot of material besides the school slides they shared stories of their own experience. Each class was engaging and effective. I'm planning to sign up for another PM course with BrainStation. Also, customer service is at a very high level. No complaints and no regrets.

    Product Leadership Course - Great New Course @ BrainStation!

    I took the new Product Leadership Course at BrainStation recently. This course was designed for people who are looking to become Product leaders in their organizations, and the reason I took it was to become a better partner to my Product colleagues. The course featured a lot of interesting topics as it pertains to Product, but also focused on areas that I feel aren't well addressed in other Product course such as how to become a great leader, how to manage people, how to create and stic...

    Great Experience

    My experience with Brainstation was very positive.  The material was advanced and up-to-date and the instructor was knowledgeable and clear.   The digital tools they provided were good - the virtual classroom with all of the slides was accessible and clear.  the online learning environment never worked so we used zoom for each class.  I would consider taking another class with them.

    Great in-person UX Bootcamp!

    I recently just graduated from the in-person UX bootcamp and overall it was a great experience. If you do the in-person bootcamp be forewarned, it is ALOT of work. This is due to the projects so a lot of work outside of the bootcamp and weekends are extremely busy putting together things for deadlines. Don't expect too much free time. I would say week 4/5-10 are the busiest. The best things about the experience: instructors have worked in the industry so there is a lot to learn from them...

    My Digital Marketing Course Experience

    I am an entrepreneur, and understanding the basics of Digital Marketing was ideal for me. I didn't know I was going to go beyond that with this course at Brainstation. This course surpassed all of my expectations and I delivered a full report at the end of the course demonstrating my abilities to take on this job full-time if I wanted to. I am grateful for the opportunity and the talented instructors helping and guiding us along the way.

    Great way to understand the core tools and principles of data analytics

    This course was a great way to learn more about the principles of data analytics and more importantly the tools and software used by professionals in the industry today. Especially valuable was access to Tableau since there isn't a free equivalent for you to gain experience with elsewhere (as opposed to excel/Google sheets). I was really impressed by the instructors for their ability to tie back our assignments and learnings to real world examples from their day to day work in data analy...
