Great experience and intro to data science
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 in Java. This is my second Brainstation course, following a part time web development course I completed in 2018.

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 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.

Enrolled in the course to learn some new things and to become a better marketer. I’ve taken a few other courses at BrainStation so I was already very familiar with the structure and quality of the curriculum. This course was a fantastic dive into the world of data analytics. Aside from the theoretical concepts of data analytics, I was able to gain hands-on experience using tools such as advanced Excel, SQL, and Tableau. Very quickly, I applied the skills I learned in class to real-life challenges at my job.

I took the “Online Live” version of the course, so there was a bit of adjustment in the beginning. A few things you might want to consider when choosing online live over in-class:

Pros:
— You can attend class from anywhere. Although the instructor is based in Vancouver, we had individuals who checked in from other cities and time zones.
— The format of the online live version is just like the in-class version. No worries about feeling like you’re missing out on the BrainStation experience.
— Things were easier to see because it was happening right on your computer screen instead of squinting at a monitor at the front of a classroom.

Cons:
— You miss out on some of the spontaneity and organic conversation that occurs in a real-life classroom. People in the class seemed to be apprehensive about chiming in because it’s a video conference.
— Since data analytics is a very hands-on type of class as opposed to something like digital marketing which involves a lot more explanation of concepts, you miss out on some of the benefits of having an instructor physically present. For example, many students ran into some tech issues when using SQL or Tableau, but they couldn’t easily show their screen to the instructor.

Overall, the instructor dealt with these issues to the best of his abilities. Despite these small hiccups, I definitely recommend this BrainStation course and Online Live!

The perfect low-pressure certification program!
I loved my recent online live course obtaining a Product Management certificate. The 10 week course seemed to cater to both new students who were just starting to understand what a PM does, but also could be very good practice for seasoned candidates who already have a PM role and want to be better at it.

I loved my recent online live course obtaining a Product Management certificate. The 10 week course seemed to cater to both new students who were just starting to understand what a PM does, but also could be very good practice for seasoned candidates who already have a PM role and want to be better at it. My Fall course had a small class of 6 students, which was the perfect size to make sure we were all heard and participating equally. This particular online live course was every Tuesday night for 3 hours. We generally took a small break as a class about halfway through the learnings, but otherwise the rest of the time was jam-packed with custom Brainstation slides to supplement the lecture. The slides definitely helped me (as I am a visual learner) and now that it's over, I remember the course work from memory based on the visual layout of charts that they gave us to help brainstorm our products. These slides will be used for sure in the future, so even just those little resources are invaluable. Brainstation was eager and happy to fix a slide that I gave feedback on when I mentioned that the font was hard to read. All of the students in the class learned so much over the course of 10 weeks- this was evident at the end of the course when we presented our MVPs. The final assignment was low pressure and open for interpretation- which was refreshing for us to be able to define the assignment. Some of my classmates even worked on projects that they could present to their bosses at their full time jobs. Our instructor Britt was seriously the best. I was hesitant to go "back to school" based on previous negative experiences I've had with other colleges and teachers, and Britt reminded me that some teachers can still be great. She was knowledgeable, professional, and very helpful when she gave real life examples for just about every topic. She was never condescending when someone asked a question that might've been obvious, and made a point to actively engage everyone in the class. I also really liked that she was always available outside of class via Slack to help us as we worked through assignments, or just to kick around ideas. The course length of 10 weeks was a perfect amount of time to learn a lot, but not so long that I didn't get burnt out while juggling a full time career. I will definitely be looking into other courses that Brainstation offers, as this was a very positive experience, and everything I could've asked for when making the choice to devote my spare time to help further my career.

Before taking this program, I took some online courses. This full time program is a totally different experience. The educators are nice and knowledgeable. Although the course is very intense, you will need to push yourself and I've learned a lot during these three months.

Search Engine Marketing
I just finished taking the Search Engine Marketing Class with Brainstation. This was my fifth class with Brainstation and I have gained a ton of value from each of them.

This class was a great overview of Search Engine Marketing, what to look for and how to do it. Both the instructors were hands on, constantly working with students on individual learning, and both very knowledgable.

Won't be the last course I take from Brainstation, and I recommend it to you.

I couldn't recommend Brainstation's Web Development course more!

Each concept was explained clearly and thoroughly. We got a lot of learning value out of each class.

Zach taught the lessons at a good pace - one that was easy to follow for beginners but also provided enough challenges to ensure growth. Adam made sure that all of our questions were addressed and explained concepts very clearly.

The student support at Brainstation is great as well.

Great classes
I had a fantastic experience while I studied at BrainStation Vancouver. The instructors were always presenting examples and trying to explain the hardest things in an easy way.

Machine Learning is an amazing field and I'm happy to have had the opportunity to study the concepts at BrainStation.

I'd highly recommend this school because they really want to accelerate students' progress.
