    We’ve learned sooo much

    Recently graduated from a 12-week Software Engineering bootcamp – an intense yet incredibly enriching experience. The program covered solo, group, and pair projects, along with three exciting hackathons. Huge thanks to our outstanding TA, Andrea, and a special shoutout to BrainStation for this truly life-changing opportunity!

    Excellent, Informative, Thorough, Fun, Engaging

    I had a great time at BrainStation. The experiencing was challenging, which is a great way to prepare us for the industry. But it was a fun experience nonetheless and I am grateful for the instructors who dedicated themselves to teaching us about UX Design for the last 3 months. This is the best career choice I’ve ever made.

    Do it now

    The education experience I had at brainstation was the best learning experience I’ve ever had in my life. The educators/staff were all amazing and I would recommend this course to anyone with a desire to learn to code. It was difficult without a doubt but do yourself the favor and sign up.

    Software Engineering London Sep - Dec 2023

    BrainStation provided a fantastic learning environment from their campus in Shoreditch. I found the lecturers informative, passionate, and highly engaging. The pace of the course is well thought through with consistent support. I left with an in-depth knowledge of the technologies that companies are looking for.

    Great upskilling for people in tech

    The course is highly recommended for people who are interested in product development in general.

    I have read "The Lean Startup" by Eric Ries before, and was intrigued by those ideas for developing new products, especially in tech industry. Lean, MVP, validated learning, and finding Product-Market Fit are all amazing concepts, and here the course provides very well structured and detailed illustrations on these with updated tools including Figma, Google Analytics and ChatGPT.

    Data Analytics Review

    My experience in the data analytics course has been mostly positive. I would give the course a 3.5/5 in terms of my overall experience. The course content was helpful from an introductory lense, and there was a wide variety of topics covered. To get more value out of the course personally, I think I will need to practice solving more SQL queries via another Udemy course.

    We had 2 instructors who taught us data analytics, Calvin and Ramin. I think Ramin is a thoughtful and knowledg...

    Great supplement as a developer

    I took this course through an Ambassador program offered post-web development bootcamp at BrainStation. The course was really helpful for learning about the process of UX design and I felt like every lecture I took away several key points that I will definitely apply in the future. The class was small and the instructors excellent. Overall, a great experience. 

    The only small disappointment with the course is that the curriculum itself does not cover the use of Figma but it is exp...

    Software Engineering BootCamp London In Person

    This course really over delivers on the prospectus. It is very intensive, but if, like me, you want to get to a point where you can build-out some tech ideas as soon as possible then this is the course for you. The teachers are incredible, the structure and pacing of the materials has been carefully considered and the management around the delivery of the course itself is first rate.

    Super intensive bootcamp, great support, highly recommended

    I learned SO MUCH in the 2.5 month of the data science bootcamp at BrainStation! The pace is very quick, and it is ESSENTIAL you come prepared - at least able to code in Python, know basic stats and linear algebra.  The educators are amazing, very good student to teacher ratio.  Amazing sense of community and career support.  I highly reocmmend it.

Brent and Matt were ready to provide valuable insights, build upon the class's knowledge and experience and further conversation based on their own day-to-day experience in the field.

    Intensive and focused

    I never expected to have the chance to even go to a software engineering bootcamp, let alone study and work all day on projects and code-alongs. BrainStation Miami was a golden opportunity, and one I do not regret in the slightest. From morning challenges to collaborative projects, from frontend and backend lab work to resume and career building opportunities, this bootcamp was well worth the time and the effort.
