BrainStation

The course has lots of current information in what is happening in the industry. The instructors are also very well informed and always answer your questions within 24 hours. Wish they didn't always use such large companies as examples of marketing campaigns.... Read More

I am very glad that I decided to take this Digital Marketing course. I learned a great deal about the ins and outs of what marketers need to know in today's day and age. The two instructors were very knowledgeable about every single topic, and used real-life... Read More examples to assist our learning. Another great aspect was all the links to extra assistance on each topic at the end of each week's lesson, for us to use in the future.

What a course ! 10 weeks and fast paced, this course dives right into the material. It starts with some background and builds on every class into different machine learning concepts such as Regression, Classification, Unsupervised Learning, Neural Networks,... Read More Natural Language Processing and Recommender Systems. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing my ideas for my project bear fruit. It was a serious work and time commitment, which wasn't easy with a full time job. However, I came out the other side more knowledgeable and skilled. BrainStation is very responsive to questions and support. I was very fortunate to have Adam Zabrodski as an instructor. Advice: make the time to work through the concepts and notebooks again between every class to solidify the concepts - nothing beats learning as practicing.

I recently completed the 10 week part time web development program. I found the online live course to be a really great option that allowed for the convenience of taking the class from anywhere, but also provided the structure that I needed with a designated... Read More required class time each week.

As a designer who frequently interacts with our development team, I took this course to better understand the dev process. I was happy with the knowledge I gained by the end of the 10 weeks. The instructor dove into both css and html, and provided us with the information needed to create a basic one page website as a final project. Our instructor was super helpful and patient with all questions; he never made anyone feel like any question was dumb or a waste of time. I would not go into this course expecting to be a professional developer upon completion; there just isn’t enough time in 30 hours to learn everything you need to know, and that’s not really the intention of the part time course. However, I think this course is great way to get a good base of html and css, and start you off on the right foot in the coding world.

I completed the class through their online-live method and it was an amazing experience. Both instructors were very knowledgeable and eager to answer any questions we had. The staff at BrainStation were also very approachable and quick to respond to any... Read More message I sent them. The class really opened my eyes to a lot of Product Management methods I wasn't really thinking about. The instructors' real world examples helped to clearly explain any concepts. I definitely walked away with a brand new set of skills that I am excited to use.

I took BrainStation's Design Thinking course over two days in October 2020. I was initially curious if the fast-paced, shorter-term course would have a lasting impact, but the second class did an excellent job of giving us time to think about how to apply... Read More principles to current and future roles right away. The exercises were really well thought out given how quickly we moved from one concept to the next, but I think the narrative structure of the course was what really brought it home to make it a great value.

I took the 10 week UX Design class virtually from Sept - Nov 2020. The course material covered all the basics of design and required us to explore design tools. Throughout the class you'll be working on a project that you build on as you learn new material... Read More each week. The instructors were engaging and incorporated a lot of activity time in the class to learn to apply the skills we learned and to connect with our peers. By the end of the 10 weeks you have a project you can add to portfolio that is well researched, tested, and you are given feedback if you want to continue working on it. I recommend the class to anyone starting in UX design.

The social media marketing course covers most of the social platforms and dives deeper in Facebook ads specifically, which I believe is the most valuable aspect of the course. I think there should be a Facebook ads certification that goes along with this... Read More course and that could add more value to it but it's also something you can go and get yourself.

If you have none or limited knowledge of social platforms this is a great way to learn the basics and strategies across various platforms.

The online (virtual) Product Management 5-week course at BrainStation was a fantastic program that introduced you to the foundational knowledge of Product Management and it's real world application. Led by industry experts, the class focused on applying... Read More knowledge to real-world use and skills transference, having students share examples from their own school or work experience to understand concepts of Product Management methodology and process.

Despite being virtual, I found the class engaging and informative and was able to connect with my peers through regular break-out rooms for group activities. The instructors were lively and made an effort to get to know all the participants through break-out rooms and interactions.

This class was a great way to develop skills and knowledge in the industry! I highly recommend it for anyone who is looking to learn more about Product Management and start a new career in the field.
