I took BrainStation's Product Management course, and it has helped me immensely in working within my technical company. As someone with a non-technical background I was often lost when listening to senior managers discuss their roles and the life cycles of our products. After taking Product Management, not only am I better able to collaborate within the team as a whole, but I have a greater understanding of many more aspects of the design and development process.
I graduated undergrad in a non tech or business related degree, but found myself naturally interested in pursuing a career in this sector. Luckily, I was able to get a position at a cool start-up but found that I was still lacking many skills to allow for career advancement. This is where I found BrainStation, and was able to learn industry best practices from fellow peers in the Tech/Business world. I took the Intro to Web Development course so I can learn a solid foundation of CSS and HTML. I had tried to teach myself how to code through online resources such as Code Academy but as soon as I got to DIVS, I no longer could absorb the online resource. Through BrainStation, my educator and TA's were all living and breathing code all day long at their respective careers and were easily approachable, accessible, and provided us real life projects and learnings. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in gaining new digital skills and I plan on taking the Intermediate Web Development Course in the next cohort. That's the other thing, because the courses are part-time you can still work full-time and spend your evenings learning development.
I wish I had enrolled earlier. I don't have a background in digital marketing, but have always been interested in it as a career path. This course taught me the language, and industry best practices that have given me the confidence to apply for jobs I never would have in the past. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and really cared about the progress of the students. I felt like they really had skin in the game. The BrainStation Emissions team even helped me with the job hunt. All in all I left happy and confident and would recommend this to anyone who is looking to further develop their career or even make a change.
I had a great experience in the Intro to Web Development program. As a complete beginner to web development, I found this course to be both challenging but accessible. Throughout the course, the educators, both web developers by day, were incredibly helpful and available for support outside of the class hours, which was a huge plus for me. I was incredibly impressed by what I was able to accomplish at the end of the course. The smaller projects throughout the course really helped in preparing me to be less intimidated when it came time to create my own website at the end. I would recommend to anyone looking to add web development skills to their CV.
