User Experience Design Course

My experience with the BrainStation Product Management course was nothing short of incredible. The hands-on learning approach, combined with diverse exercises, team projects, and individual assignments, provided a comprehensive understanding of the product management journey from concept to implementation.

Shortly after completing the course, I was fortunate enough to land a product management role. I genuinely believe that the knowledge and skills I gained from Colin and Adam were instrumental in securing this position. Their guidance and mentorship have given me the confidence to transition seamlessly into this exciting new space.

One of the highlights of the course was the fun and engaging learning environment fostered by Colin Li and Adam Higa. They created a space where we could connect with our peers, expand our networks, and develop genuine camaraderie. Their passion for product management was contagious, and their authentic enthusiasm inspired us all.

BrainStation's commitment to providing high-quality instruction is evident in their rigorous vetting process for instructors. The instructors I've encountered at BrainStation have all been exceptional, leaving a lasting impact on my personal and professional development.

I wholeheartedly recommend the BrainStation Product Management course to anyone seeking to break into the field or enhance their existing skillset. Even if you're not actively looking for a career change, the knowledge and insights gained from this course are invaluable. Understanding the intricacies of product management fosters empathy, strengthens cross-functional collaboration, and reinforces the importance of prioritizing the customer.

I am so grateful for the transformative learning experience at BrainStation. It has not only equipped me with the skills and confidence to excel in my new role but has also ignited a passion for product management. I am already considering taking additional courses at BrainStation to further expand my knowledge and stay ahead in this dynamic field.

My time at Brainstation was one of great difficulty and great learning. I was a student of the full-time, 3-month software engineering cohort of the bootcamp in New York City. I engaged the material with very little background in coding, professionally or personally, but I committed the full extent of my discipline because that is what the depth and breadth of the content of the bootcamp demanded of me. My instructors, Matt Meyer and Eli Boninger, provided generous support along the way both in and out of class, during the week and even on weekends. This dedication Brainstation had for us reflected the dedication they demanded of us in order to reach the skills expected of us by the end of the bootcamp. So dedicated is Brainstation to our success, that it felt to me like the choice of instructors was intentionally designed to cater to different learning styles. Eli gave excellent lectures at a brisk pace, providing us with an understanding of the material which was easy to recall in short notes. Matt, on the other hand, was a fantastic resource for in-the-moment digression on lecture topics to gain a full understanding ahead of lab assignments. They both ensured their availability to assist with gaps in understanding regardless of their teaching styles, but they also maintained a healthy boundary on their help so as to make sure we can independently solve problems as we learned new material -- and if not independently, then with our classmates. Our class developed a strong sense of comradery, and we were proud to see each other's work upon the presentation of our capstones.

I am now engaged in their robust post-graduation career search program which involves bi-weekly meetings to check-in on progress, and expects weekly updates on our week-to-week goals in terms of both career searching (via networking and job applications) as well as the further development of our skills as software engineers. I am confident in the support, and look forward to a great entry to my new career.
