FAQ

FAQ HOW MANY STUDENTS ARE IN EACH CLASS? Small class sizes result in more interaction between students and teachers. A low student to teacher ratio ensures that our students get the attention that is needed for project based learning.

ARE COMPUTERS PROVIDED? BrainStation courses are BYOL (bring your own laptop). This allows you to complete homework in the comfort of your own home and to become comfortable with your machine to continue your learning beyond completion of the course.

DO YOU OFFER ANY ACCREDITATION OR CERTIFICATE UPON COURSE COMPLETION? We do not offer any accreditation or certificate. We are focused on helping students achieve a mastery of skills they need to learn. We do not assign grades or hand out pieces of paper.

CAN I JUST LEARN ON MY OWN? Ultimately people are social learners, there is nothing that can substitute a classroom of students as eager to learn as yourself. It may take you years to learn something on your own without proper guidance. At BrainStation we have industry experts that condense years of learning into a matter of weeks and resources to support you beyond graduation as well!

FAQ Continued

FAQ Continued DO I NEED PREVIOUS PROGRAMMING EXPERIENCE OR A BACKGROUND IN TECHNOLOGY TO TAKE YOUR COURSES? All of our course pages indicate the minimum requirements we expect students to have before classes start. We realize that every student is starting at a different point so we’ve created an educational model that is flexible enough to accommodate everyone.

WHAT IS THE TIME COMMITMENT FOR ONE OF YOUR COURSES? The time commitment for each course varies depending on the concepts and material we are covering. There is no magical number because each student learns at their own pace. Our recommendation is to spend as much time as possible practicing and applying the skills you learn to real projects but we understand that everyone has other commitments. We work with every student to help them manage the workload and ensure success.

WHO IS KONRAD GROUP? BrainStation is fuelled by Konrad Group, a global leader in the enterprise and consumer technology space. Konrad Group has delivered solutions in use by over 20 million people in 50 different countries around the world to brands such as McDonalds, MTV and Deloitte. Konrad Group works with BrainStation to architect each curriculum based on the skills needed to tackle the digital problems of the 21st century.

Testimonials

Grey Thompson “My education at BrainStation has been an extraordinary experience. Opportunities that had previously seemed impossible because of my technical limitations now feel within reach, and new entrepreneurial ideas are coming to me in ways I never anticipated before I began learning to code. And thanks to BrainStation, I’m just getting started.”

Olivia Viola “Taking BrainStation’s part-time course allowed flexibility in my schedule, and enabled me to learn coding along side my usual university course load. The team at BrainStation really made the difference. Each member is friendly, approachable, knowledgeable and always there to make sure you understand. That to me means more than anything – being able to ask for one-on-one help.”

Katrina McHaffie “I was a little intimidated at first but the instructors created such a positive learning environment. Our class size was small enough that we could get whatever hands on help we needed, but large enough that we are all able to experience and learn from the diversity of what each student was working on. Overall it was a fantastic experience and I would recommend it to anyone interested in coding, looking for a new learning experience, or even just wanting to do their own webpage. ”
