Read More careers, and this program gave me the perfect foundation to start from. I couldn’t have made a better choice.

The professors were engaging but also incredibly supportive throughout the entire course, and I especially appreciated their real-life insights. I also loved the in-person classes, which added an extra layer of interaction and connection.

The final project was a real challenge, it pushed me to apply everything I had learned in a real-world context. Through this process, I gained a deeper understanding of the material. It was also inspiring to see and learn from the diverse projects my peers worked on, which offered fresh perspectives and innovative ideas.

Overall, BrainStation Digital Marketing course far exceeded my expectations.

BrainStation's Product Management course was an incredible experience! The hands-on journey, diverse exercises, and team/individual projects provided a deep understanding of the product lifecycle from concept to implementation. I was fortunate to land... Read More a Product Management role shortly after completing the course, and I credit the knowledge gained from Colin and Adam for my success. They fostered a fun, engaging environment where we connected and expanded our networks. Their passion for product management was authentic and inspiring. BrainStation's instructors are top-notch and have a lasting impact. I'm considering further courses to continue expanding my knowledge. Even if you're not seeking a career change, understanding the product management role can broaden your horizons, foster empathy, and reinforce the importance of prioritizing the customer. Highly recommended!

I took the Product Management course. It was a hands-on experience, the final project is based on applying the topics reviewed during the season for which we had the real-time guidance of the instructor. He also brought real-life examples of a product... Read More lifecycle.
The career panel events are also very insightful with speakers who work on the position and are a opportunity to network.

I was a student of the full-time, 3-month software engineering cohort of the bootcamp in New York City. I engaged the material with very little background in coding, professionally or personally, but I committed the full extent of my discipline because... Read More that is what the depth and breadth of the content of the bootcamp demanded of me. My instructors, Matt Meyer and Eli Boninger, provided generous support along the way both in and out of class, during the week and even on weekends. This dedication Brainstation had for us reflected the dedication they demanded of us in order to reach the skills expected of us by the end of the bootcamp. So dedicated is Brainstation to our success, that it felt to me like the choice of instructors was intentionally designed to cater to different learning styles. Eli gave excellent lectures at a brisk pace, providing us with an understanding of the material which was easy to recall in short notes. Matt, on the other hand, was a fantastic resource for in-the-moment digression on lecture topics to gain a full understanding ahead of lab assignments. They both ensured their availability to assist with gaps in understanding regardless of their teaching styles, but they also maintained a healthy boundary on their help so as to make sure we can independently solve problems as we learned new material -- and if not independently, then with our classmates. Our class developed a strong sense of comradery, and we were proud to see each other's work upon the presentation of our capstones.

I am now engaged in their robust post-graduation career search program which involves bi-weekly meetings to check-in on progress, and expects weekly updates on our week-to-week goals in terms of both career searching (via networking and job applications) as well as the further development of our skills as software engineers. I am confident in the support, and look forward to a great entry to my new career.

I initially enrolled in BrainStation's Data Analytics course from May to July 2023, hoping to pivot my career from Digital Marketing to Data Analytics. Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. Despite attending the full course, I left... Read More feeling like I had learned almost nothing. I was kindly allowed to retake the certification for free, which I completed in October 2023, but it still hasn’t been beneficial.
The coursework itself was very limited. The first time I took the class, we were told we could go home and complete the work on our own. There was no encouragement to stay and work together in a collaborative environment, so most people, including the instructors, just left. This made the entire course feel disengaged and lacking in depth.
The few concepts I did learn came from free YouTube tutorials, which went much deeper than what was covered in the course. For the high cost, it felt unproductive and not worth the investment.
I invested in the course due to them boasting "more than 90 percent of BrainStation's bootcamp graduates are employed in their fields within 180 days of graduation", but despite my six years of Digital Marketing experience, university degrees, other certifications, and now a Data Analytics project, I haven’t received a single interview from the many applications I've submitted since last summer. It’s been incredibly disheartening, and I deeply regret my decision to enroll.
I spoke with a BrainStation representative regarding my disappointment and I was told to reach out to my instructors for further help, but none of them have responded to my emails. Adding to this, I was made aware by one of the students in my class that some people in the course were allowed to take it for free just to fill empty spots, such as instructors from other courses who enrolled as students in the Data Analytics class, and vice versa. As part of this exchange they have to leave a 5 star review which is why you will never get honest feedback like this.
I also provided feedback through Synapse (the software with all course materiels etc), and indicated that I was open to further discussions, yet no one from BrainStation  reached out to me until I reached out to them first. For the amount of money I’ve spent, I expected far better engagement and support, and a better resolution than "reach out to your instructors / come to our networking invents".
Overall, this experience has felt like a significant waste of money, and I no longer believe the course was worth the investment. I hope BrainStation will take these concerns seriously and reconsider offering a refund.

When I started this 8-week course, I was a bit nervous because I didn't have a lot of experience in data analysis.

However, the program was well-structured and accessible, making it easier than I expected to grasp the concepts and tools we used
One of... Read More the best parts of the course was the diverse group of fellow students. Everyone brought different backgrounds and experiences to the table, which made discussions lively and gave me a broader perspective on how data analytics can be applied in various fields.
I am incredibly grateful to our instructors, Josefina Oria from Airbnb and Leo Leoni from Spotify. Their industry insights and teaching styles made complex topics understandable and engaging.

BrainStation has not only boosted my confidence but also equipped me with practical skills that I'm eager to apply in real-world projects

Here's to new challenges and continued learning 🏆

80% of the things taught you can learn from the internet. There are a lot of times where the course leaders says, "ignore this slide as it's outdated." Then why hasn't it been updated? If we are paying a lot of money for a course that is outdated it doesn't... Read More make sense?

Before the course they said you will get a chance to meet industry experts and also there is a community. Both are almost non-existent. The community is just a Linkedin group where no one uses it.

They also mentioned that there will be job support, but no after the course never heard from them again.

Cannot recommend the London bootcamp. The course structure is completely messed up with us being taught the very basics only halfway through the course, being told to just figure it out and play around with it, for marked submissions!! The careers programme... Read More is totally useless, I was being told that my profile was being sent out to hiring partners, however the Brainstation team did not have my CV or any other information that would be needed in order to do what they claim to. No one I know on my bootcamp or the two prior ones has yet received a job and the majority of student revert back to their prior career.

I recently completed two courses at Brainstation - the Artificial Intelligence Certificate and the Product Management Certificate, and I must say that it was quite the experience! 😄 One of the absolute highlights of these courses was the instructors.... Read More They weren't just teachers, but real industry professionals who are actively engaged in their respective fields. This made a world of difference because they were able to share real-life examples and insights that were incredibly valuable. Learning from people who are currently in the workforce doing relevant work truly enhanced the learning experience. The use of real-life examples was like a breath of fresh air. It brought the theoretical concepts to life and made them more relatable and understandable. It's one thing to read about AI or product management in a book, but seeing how these concepts are applied in the real world is priceless. However, there was one drawback - the courses were only one month long. While it's great for those looking for a quick dive into the world of AI or product management, it did feel a bit rushed at times. There was so much material to cover and so many extra tools provided by the educators that it was challenging to fully take advantage of everything in such a short timeframe. Despite this minor drawback, I left Brainstation feeling more confident in my knowledge of AI and product management, thanks to the passionate instructors and their real-world experiences. If you're looking for courses that provide a glimpse into these exciting fields with an optimistic and engaging approach, Brainstation is a fantastic choice. 🌟 While my experience with Brainstation's AI and Product Management Certificates was enriching, I did not receive job assistance as part of the program. However, I plan to reach out to them this week to explore any potential support in that area
