What Our Graduates Are Saying
Kayla Noronha
Software Developer at Cyferd
I really liked my learning experience because they really prepared us for the industry. Not only did they give us technical tools and interview skills that we needed, but we also had the opportunity to work in group settings, with students in the other disciplines, similar to the way you'd be collaborating in a real work setting.
. . . [E]ven though I could grasp the material and understand the concepts in an abstract format, I didn't always understand how it could be applied in real life. Getting the opportunity to learn from. . . the Head Instructor for my course, and seeing him coding live, was really eye-opening for me.
The highlight of the learning experience for me was achieving that invincible feeling of being able to accomplish anything, such as learning how to actually code. BrainStation's fully immersive environment really helped me remain interested in the content, we were always being presented something new.
It was an intense three months, I often felt like my brain was whirring far too fast for my body to keep up, but I can't believe how quickly I progressed and how confident I feel in my abilities now. Not only have I built a strong foundation of knowledge in the field, but I've also learned how to keep teaching myself, how to continue to progress and adapt to an ever-changing industry.
