    A deluge of knowledge

    This program is packed full with a lot of information. The schedule will be very rigorous and it's best not to juggle this program with anything else because there will be many long hours. You will however come out with projects for your portfolio, a strong network community, and a good amount of new friends/cohorts.

    Amazing Experience w/ BrainStation

    My experience with BrainStation has been nothing short of amazing. My instructors (Emma J. & Hamza E.) were incredibly knowledgeable, offered thought-provoking lesson plans and engaged our cohort to work together on our journey through Product Management. I feel better equipped to make the career shift into Product having spent the last 10 weeks enhancing my knowledge base and skill set.

    Really great introduction to Product Management

    I didn't know what to expect coming into this course. I wanted to reconfirm and give myself a structure of the product management and product lifecycle by actually undertaking the each step in the process. I will say that is exactly what this course enabled me to do. Starting from actual strategic review and conceptual thinking and then rolling up my sleeves and actually doing the work from inception to product delivery - I'd say this was a great experience.

    Industry relevant and hands-on course

    The UX Design course was a great way to learn about the industry, technical skills and tools. By the end of the course, I was equipped with the knowledge and technical skills to start networking and build a portfolio. The instructors tie each lessons with real-world examples and offered as much help and advice as possible. The project component in the course really brings together everything you've learnt in class and a good opportunity to test your knowledge.

    I really enjoyed my experience at Brainstation. I got to learn about the key concepts in product management, definitions, frameworks, how to prioritize, and how to thinking about problems and solutions related to products.

    It was great meeting people from similar or different backgrounds. 

    Andrea and Giuliano are so genuine , knowledgeable and great at sharing real life experiences.

    Good Intro to UX Design

    Overall it was a really good experience! I missed 2 classes in a row due to travel so that kind of set me behind, which means I was kind of scrambling to get my final project done, but the course delivered what I expected from it, which was more of an introduction to the tools and methodologies of UX Design. It was a good enough taste to give me an idea of whether or not a career in UX design is something I want to pursue, so thanks!
