BrainStation

I recently completed a Digital Marketing course at Brainstation. It was the easiest, most informative course I have ever taken. Larissa, our instructor, was super friendly and helpful. I’m glad I took this course and will most likely take another one... Read More soon!

The product management course exposes you to the latest processes and prepares you to conquer the PM role. The course curriculum is relevant to the expectations in a PM role and the tutor taps into his vast experiences to deliver the lectures brilliantly.... Read More

I have taken 2 courses at Brainstation:
- the UX Design course (part time) on the Toronto campus
- the UI Design course (part time) online.
With only 30 hours of class each, these classes will give you enough knowledge and practice to learn how to learn... Read More everything on your own !

The first course allowed me to do a complete career change, I switched to a UX role right after the course and after 1 year, I was confident enough to quit my job and work as a freelancer. I always found jobs easily and was able to apply the skills I learned in my day-to-day work.
I was happy to come back to school for the UI course because it was complementary from what I had learned previously and because I trust their education process.

Brainstation is focussed on delivering a maximum value to student in a minimal time, their courses are focussed on practical exercises, and their content is always up-to-date with the latest industry trends.

I would recommend these courses to anyone interested in working as a UX/UI designer

(* however, I think the class on campus adds a lot more value than the online class, because of all the interactions we get with other students and the teacher)

I recently completed BrainStation's online Digital Marketing Course. The instructor was awesome and by the end I was so excited to share my final presentation with the class. The skills we used were very applicable for my current work and helped me improve... Read More my resume.

I love the process of lifetime learning. Website design, marketing and now data analytics courses over the last few years have made me an alumnus at BrainStation. I never set out to be a specialist in any one of these certificates, however, as a generalist... Read More I knew I needed to keep learning, but with a full-time job, it was difficult to find the right kind of environment. BrainStation has fit the bill perfectly. Part-time classes made it easy to attend after work once a week. The Toronto Campus/Quantum Coffee, Slack channels and Zoom gave me all the tools I needed.

The instructors have all been fantastic - each one of them worked in the field and have practical & theoretical experience in the subject matter. They are great teachers and made the concepts very approachable. Having support during class but also on Slack provides all of the group and 1:1 needed.

BrainStation campus staff guided me along a learning path that fit with my professional life and made it possible to learn and grow. This has allowed me to move professionally in a direction in which I could add value differently to my organization.

I recommend BrainStation to all of my personal and professional relationships. I am very supportive of this innovative environment that helps lifelong learning in a non-traditional role.

I am currently enrolled in the Product Management Online Live part-time course. With a background in startup marketing, I was excited to learn more about Product Management. Having worked remote before, making the move to a fully online course was easy.... Read More The course was well set-up to support those new to online collaboration - we used Zoom, with video, participation chats, as the breakout room project to work on group discussions. Using Slack also let us connect throughout the week. In terms of content, this course gave a strong overview of the parts of Product Management - from MVP to Success Metrics, User Stories and Target Market. I would recommend this course not only for those looking to move into a PM role, but also for those in marketing, success/support, development, or any part of a startup or tech company who is looking to move into more of a strategic role. Thank you Partho and the Brainstation team!

I’ve taken 3 courses at Brainstation (UX, Product Management and Digital Marketing) I loved them all. First of all, Slack is the main communication tool which you get to learn how to use and it is really beneficial for the professional work life. There’s... Read More usually 2 instructors, as one of them teaches the other one takes down notes and shares the highlighted info and important links on Slack. I was a beginner in the tech world when I took these courses and I noticed that instructors tried their best to arrange the phase of the classes quite well to be able to teach everyone at all levels. Hands on projects are really fun to work on. Most importantly, network! You do not only get to meet brilliant people from different industries in the class, but you also have a life time access to BrainStation’s network which supports its students as much as possible! I took Digital Marketing course as an online live course which saved me so much time on commuting and provided me with the comfort level of travelling and attending the classes across the world. Pls do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions

I had a fantastic experience taking the online Data Science course at BrainStation. The classes were engaging, the instructors are friendly and knowledgeable, and the support network is fantastic (everyone, from our instructors, classmates, to our learning...

Data Science & Python required hands-on training, and I felt how the classes were structured provided me with precisely that. The project was also a great tool for me to apply what I've learned: from setting up a Jupyter notebook, to importing data, utilizing Pandas, cleaning data, creating a modelling hypothesis to testing the hypothesis, and plotting data graphs.

Prior to deciding to take the BrainStation course, I was considering doing either a Coursera or an edX course. I am pleased that I've decided to go with BrainStation, as the engaging, hands-on format is what I needed to learn such a complex subject. I am able to freely ask questions during class, on Slack, and my instructors are very responsive.

I'd definitely recommend anyone who are looking for great data science courses / certification classes to take the Data Science certificate course with BrainStation! I've also taken the Product Management certificate course with BrainStation in the past and that was also fantastic. i'd recommend anyone who are looking to break into tech, to consider taking classes at BrainStation (online or in-person).

I took the Data Science (online live) course with Brainstation in the fall of 2019. For context to this review I am not in a technical career (I work in HR) but I study computer science part time and have about 18 months experience programming, mostly... Read More in Java. This is my second Brainstation course, following a part time web development course I completed in 2018.

Initial impressions to this course were very good – there is pre-coursework to be completed prior to the first session and the initial pace of the course is gentle, which gave me a chance to get my bearings with Python, its syntax and Jupyter Notebooks (which is the application used to teach the material). The pace rapidly increases however and the course covers many core data science concepts over the weeks that follow. This was one of the things I liked most about the course – as it covers a broad range of subjects you get a solid overall understanding of the foundations behind data science, which sets you up nicely for further study and research in the future.

Parin Shah was our instructor for this course – he was very good. Very patient teaching style and happy to slow down and go over things as many times as necessary for them to sink in. Would recommend.

As for the platform (doing the course online live rather than in person) this was good and offered more interaction with my peers on the course than I expected. I would recommend a 2 screen set-up for this course if you have the hardware available – it is a great to be able to go through the material with the instructor on one screen while trying things out as you go along on the other screen as well.

Overall this was a great experience – I know a lot more about data science and python than I did a few months ago! If you are someone looking to start studying in data science I would for sure recommend this.
