"Awesome Digital Marketing course at BrainStation!"
Just finished my BrainStation course - Digital Marketing!
What an amazing course. I have learned so much in the last 10 weeks. It was definitely time well spent.
This was actually my 7th course that I’ve completed with BrainStation. So far I’ve completed... Read More
During the Digital Marketing course, I have had an opportunity to learn how to create an effective digital marketing campaign. From creating User Personas to Search Engine Optimization (SEO). From what makes a good website to utilizing Google Ads. All incredibly valuable content/concepts/tools and taught by two amazing instructors/industry experts. Plus I had a chance to work and share with a cohort of fellow students from all types of industries and backgrounds across North America.
What I have enjoyed about each BrainStation course is the opportunity to stretch my knowledge and skills across the digital space. I work in Information Technology for a Digital Telecom. Everything I have learned across all 7 courses has been directly relevant and current to the organization I work with.
Why 7 courses across a broad spectrum of disciplines, you may ask? I’m an Agile and Lean Coach and Trainer. I work with all disciplines - from design to engineering to marketing. Understanding and appreciating the work that people in specific disciplines are engaged with, allows me to meet students and colleagues where they are in their Agility journey. Applying Agile and Lean concepts and ways of working can differ depending on the type of work that you’re engaged on. BrainStation has provided me with the knowledge and skills to support the people that I support. Thank you BrainStation!
What’s next on my BrainStation learning journey? Hmmm….so many choices...iOS Development, Search Engine Marketing, Social Media Marketing...so many awesome courses to choose from.
I highly recommend BrainStation courses. BrainStation on-line courses are equally as great as the in-class courses. Plus you get to do it from the comfort of your own home :) So what do you want to learn next? Look no further than the talented instructors and awesome courses offered by BrainStation!

"Lacking for the cost"
Starting off I’d like to say that the instructors are working in the their field and have the knowledge to answer the questions that come up. Pair that with the clean layout of the BrainStation website and it is user friendly.
Having said that I have... Read More
Based on my overall experience so far, I wouldn’t suggest this to anyone having to pay out of pocket. For $300 LinkedIn Learning will provide detail hands-on examples while they cover each topic. The only difference is you will not have a live session to ask questions.

User Experience Design Certificate Course
"Because of BrainStation I'm one step closer to becoming forever employable."
Enrolling in the User Experience Course at BrainStation was one of the best decisions I made in 2019. I was thinking about studying UX for ages and, like many folks, I did extensive research and slowly compiled a list of schools. What sold me on BrainStation... Read More
As a graphic designer and art director, I was already doing some UX, but it was intuitive. I took the class hoping it would formalize my instincts into a structured design process. I also thought it could help me be more effective in my current role as an art director, and help get some side projects off the ground. It did!
The lead instructor, Jenna Brucoli, was superb. We covered tons of material in 10 weeks, and she led us through this marathon with enthusiasm, encouragement, and great humor. Not only did she give us 110% percent during every class, she also met with many of us individually. Her advice and guidance were invaluable. This is a BrainStation strength—your instructors are industry professionals who are committed teachers willing to share their experiences.
I also learned so much from my fellow students. What a fascinating mix of backgrounds and ages! Even after switching from an in-person format to online (because of the COVID-19 pandemic), the collegiality and camaraderie continued. For me, it confirmed that the digital skills taught at BrainStation are the new universal skills every professional should have in their toolset.
I can't wait to continue my learning journey with them!

Web Development Diploma Program
"Fully Online Remote Web Development Program"
The education team is great and very helpful. BrainStation really knows what they're doing and how to deliver such an intense program.
At some points in the program, there are moments of doubt and questionable thoughts:
-Should I quit, should I drop out?... Read More
In the end, after going through the entire program, everything worked out and the pace and style of how the program is structured is great.
A fully online program has its challenges but so does everything else.
I actually wish I started studying in their Part-Time intro the Web Dev course-program because I was looking at programs for a very long time. It probably would have made the full-time program a little bit easier on me too since I come from a background with very little coding experience.
My advice to anyone that enrols in the full-time program:
-Trust the program and listen to the education team.
-Ask questions.
-Help fellow classmates.
-Use an Apple computer.
-Plan and prepare that you will do nothing else for the entire length of the program.
-Put in the time, effort, and work.
And lastly, if you are taking a long time, thinking and considering, about whether or not to take a full-time program then at least take the part-time Intro to Web Development.

"TL:DR Great course. Content good. Class fun. Highly recommend it."
I signed up for the online version of the SEM course with some wariness - full days online? How could that possibly work? (This was last summer, pre-pandemic....little did I know.....)
The entire experience was fantastic. My class was small - only 6 people... Read More
The course was really well paced and covered a LOT of material. I took pages of notes (apparently, I'm "old school") and using our real-world companies as the subject for our individual projects meant that I had actionable learnings to implement right away.
I'm self-employed and investing in learning for myself while my company is still growing is a difficult choice to make. I was grateful for BrainStation's scholarship program that allowed me to take this course.
