BrainStation's Product Management course was great. Lots of information condensed into a cohesive structure to make sure we understand the best practices for each process of product management. David and Lucianne were amazing instructors who are super knowledgeable and very supportive throughout the course. The final project was a great opportunity to apply the theory into practice.

Great bootcamp for a tech career jumpstart
This bootcamp is the right place to start if you are looking for jumping into the tech industry as developer. The professors are great and they provide all the support needed with real world experience. The course covers the topics needed for you to start as a web developer. More than giving you the technical knowledge, it will improve your mindset to be a continuous learner. - Iryna BalanGraduate • Digital Marketing Course • TorontoMay 15, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Awesome Experience!
It has been a great 9 week journey! Instructors are very informed at their fields, staff are super friendly and it has a positive environment. I was exited every Monday to learn new information. We had fun during our project time. - Federica SfregolaFrontend Engineer • Student • Product Management Course • LondonMay 12, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Excellent intro to Product Management
I've attended the Product Management course at Brainstation, London.
The course was 8 weeks long, one evening per week.
The instructors work in important companies as PMs, therefore very experienced and knowledgable.
The course involves a final presentation about your product idea - expect to spend an extra two to three hours a week for this.
During the class, students are provided with real industry examples as well as feedback and suggestions about their projects.I've attended the Product Management course at Brainstation, London.

I personally enjoyed learning how to identify problems and validate hypothesis and solutions through professional frameworks.
Overall, it's a great short course for those who already work in the industry but want to transition into a product management role. - Francesca MarsiliResearch Engineer (Biomedical) • Applicant • Data Science Course • VancouverMay 11, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great instructors and fantastic insights on Data science
I come from a technical background which helped me staying easily on track with this course. I would imagine that people starting from scratch might feel intimidated by the workload but it is definitely a very insightful course. I started the course knowing that communication with the instructors would be the essential part, so their availability to talk and answer questions was great and fundamental to get the most knowledge out of them.

I started the course knowing that communication with the instructors would be the essential part, so their availability to talk and answer questions was great and fundamental to get the most knowledge out of them.
I would have preferred to have less focus on the coding and way more on the statistical tools. Maybe explore more of the machine learning world. - Vinojeith VarathanGraduate • Data Analytics Course • TorontoMay 08, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Overall such a great course. Very immersive and am always supported by both the lead and the assistant lead on any issues we have. Great introduction to data analytics and has given me the foundation / confidence to start a more defined career in this field.

The supportive and inclusive learning environment helped me to bridge the gap between my previous career and my new passion. The hands-on projects and practical approach to learning enabled me to gain real-world experience and build a solid portfolio. With the help of the dedicated educators, I was able to successfully transition into a software engineering role and start a fulfilling new chapter in my career. The course materials are relevant and up-to-date, my educators are knowledgeable and supportive. And I had the pleasure of meeting some of the finest, collaborative, honorable and supportive people in my class.

Holistic, motivating, and community-oriented
I took the 8-week online product management course at BrainStation Toronto. I left each class buzzing with excitement. The course is holistic, fairly comprehensive, and offers a sampling of the skills required in product management. Instructors are highly knowledgeable and provide examples from their jobs at Amazon and Capital One, which I found tremendously interesting and insightful.

I left each class buzzing with excitement. The course is holistic, fairly comprehensive, and offers a sampling of the skills required in product management. Instructors are highly knowledgeable and provide examples from their jobs at Amazon and Capital One, which I found tremendously interesting and insightful.
One criticism: I felt the time spent on Agile methodology (2 classes) could've been better spent on learning more about metrics and go-to-market strategies (1 class). I felt that the curriculum on Agile wasn't as effective as it could've been (lots if info and vocabulary with few take-away skills). While I found the models and ways of thinking that we learned throughout the course to be very helpful, I was hoping to get a bit more technical training regarding product management analytics.
The students in the class were engaged and from various professional backgrounds, which made for really interesting comments and questions. The instructors always provided helpful responses and encouraged class participation.
By enrolling in the course, I also starting receiving BrainStation's newsletter showcasing their monthly events and I attended two of them. One was a career panel for product management and product marketing and the other was a networking event. While neither event yielded any career opportunities per se, simply attending them, meeting other Toronto techies, and being exposed to professionals from many different industries inspired me to hone in on my next career move.
It's only been two weeks since I made the decision to transition into the financial services sector (from media and entertainment), but I've already set up a couple meetings with professionals in that area and this certificate from BrainStation has definitely boosted my confidence on this journey. - Yuko IchiharaGraduate • Data Science Course • New York CityMay 03, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Intense, challenging, caring
The period of the Bootcamp is short, just 12 weeks, and packed with tons of highly technical stuff - mainly machine learning models. Almost every week we had assignments with not much time to work on. But we learned the basis a data scientist today should know and how to go further by ourselves. The educators spend as much time as possible outside the class to help us individually.

Great course for beginners
The Product Management course at Brainstation was really engaging. The course teachers were really fantastic and added flavour to the topics covered with their real-life experience from their roles. I had no experience of Product Management before the course and now feel very equipped to tackle a Product Manager role. - Oleksandr KiptenkoGraduate • MiamiMay 02, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
