I chose Springboard because I liked the flexibility of remote learning but I knew I needed a mentor. In 2020, Springboard was about half the cost of the other big-name bootcamps that met in person. They offered a job-guarantee but you have to pass the mock interviews at the end and meet the job pursuing requirements after you are done with the curriculum.
The curriculum was outstanding. During one interview, as I talked with the employer about the design process that I took for my capstone project, she said, "that is how it should be done!" Interspersed in the design units are career units that lay the groundwork for finding a job. After each career section, you meet with a career mentor. As someone who had not applied for a job in some time, the career components gave me the needed coaching and confidence to land my first role. -

Expensive but in depth

Springboard is one of the more expensive courses. However, as someone who is new to coding this is a great option for individuals looking for in depth knowledge of using Python to solve data science problems. Geared more towards data science for business problems. As someone in the research field, I was still able to apply these skills to less business oriented tasks. A little light on the statistics. The one-on-one weekly mentor meetings and monthly career coach calls are a great advantage. Finishing the course I feel well prepared to find a job in data, as well as, learn other statistic languages more independently. -

I only have good things to say about Springboard, I found the coursework to be very interesting, my mentor gave me consistently high quality advice and the career coaches provided valuable feedback during my job search and the interview process. I would not hesitate recommending friends of mine who are trying to pick up new technical skills and/or switch careers to apply to Springboard! -

Less than a year from no experience to new career, Springboard changed my life!

I went through the Software Engineering course in about 6 months studying full time with no previous experience in coding or IT. There was a prep course through Springboard that I used to skill-up before starting the full course as well, that cost was rolled into the full course cost after I continued. Full stack with Python and JavaScript with several assessments, code reviews, and plenty of projects to build you up for the two capstone projects that you will choose to build your portfolio. My mentor is a legit pro with a human first approach that guided me once I started to get a feel for where I saw myself in my career. -

Starting the Springboard Software Engineering Career Track was one of the best decisions I have made for my career. I started programming on my own a year before starting and had hit a wall with how to progress. The course is structured in a great way to teach you a lot of the current industry tech and techniques. This course helped me solidify the knowledge I had gained on my own and made me extremely confident in my coding abilities. Hands down one of the best features of Springboard is the mentorship part. My mentor was able to give be solid advice and resources to improve myself even past Springboard. I couldn't recommend them enough. -

Great Experience
Read more Read less of Bonnie Sweet's review
I just "graduated" from Springboard a week ago and am starting the job search so can't speak much about the outcomes yet, but overall I'm very happy with my experience. I had a hard time choosing which bootcamp to attend, but ended up going with Springboard as it offered unlimited mentor calls, job search support, and a one-month internship (IDP project). The curriculum was solid and well-thought out, and I came out of it feeling like I worked hard and learned a lot. I particularly enjoyed my IDP project as I got to collaborate with a couple other students on the partial redesign of a London-based start up company's website.
The program is pretty flexible and allows you to self-pace yourself to a certain degree, which was great as I was in the midst of some big moves and life changes, but I enjoyed the consistency of having a mentor to check in with, get feedback from, and talk things through. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone looking to enter the field of UX! -

I really enjoyed the UX research Career course. I had spent a solid year studying on my own and even finding free courses online. I watched courses in LinkedIn, Skillshare, and of course youtube but I decided to make the leap and start the UX Design research course and got so much information from it. There was 25 segments, each divided into multiple units so you get the information fed to you at a manageable rate with plenty of examples, articles, videos and projects. To be honest, in the beginning I was very overwhelmed, my background was mechanics and tool repair with VERY LITTLE design, but I can certainly say I finished this a lot more confidently than I could have imagined and have already started on multiple projects before I even finished. -

Springboard Will Treat You as a Holistic Human
Read more Read less of April Holder's review
I am so thrilled by my choice with this program. I have been to a lot of schools - I have a bachelor's degree and a master's degree. I used to be a secondary science teacher (middle school), so I feel I know a bit about education and educational institutions. When I first applied and enrolled in the program, I knew Springboard was the best fit for me (the price point, the time to complete the program, and the industrial design project were my selling points). I was skeptical, however, since this was the first for-profit school that I had attended. I expected the school to provide me with the resources promised and nothing more. However, I discovered that Springboard far exceeded my expectations by treating and supporting me as a holistic human. COVID was tougher on me than I expected, and I was not as motivated throughout the duration of the program as I expected (initially, I wanted to complete my program in 3 months). Springboard had systems in place to keep me (and EVERY student) from falling through the cracks. This is something I never discovered in my public schooling (high school and even my bachelor's). Springboard treated me as the student that I wanted to be (just how I treated my students). They were transparent about my job-guarantee, and even though it took me 9 months to complete the program, I am still eligible for the job guarantee. Every single Springboard I encountered was supportive and provided me with honest feedback. I highly recommend Springboard if you are trying to springboard to a new career. -

The course provides an extensive background in varied machine learning topics. It provides you with a strong platform for an entry level data science position. I think it's definitely helpful to have a background in science or tech before beginning the course. I felt like the projects were very helpful and the mentors provided excellent guidance. -

UX Design Career Track - 6 months
Read more Read less of Tatiana G's review
I attended Springboard from March till November of 2020, and it was a great alternative to live classes.
Pros: You get to meet with your personal design mentor once a week for 30 minutes to provide feedback on assignments, career coach for 30 min, and you can book unlimited support sessions with other UX mentors - so potentially you're looking at 3 live sessions a week which is super helpful. All professionals I encountered were knowledgeable and able to answer my questions. There is also a slack channel for students. You get to complete 3 projects altogether and walk away with a solid portfolio!
Cons: They don't have their own pre-recorded curriculum, rather, it's a bunch of links to existing articles or videos posted on the internet that follow UX design cycle and explain all the key concepts. Some of the links are 2-3 years old and might not be as relevant. Also, the course takes more than 6 months to complete for a vast majority of students (they do provide a free extension).
Conclusion: the program was both useful and interesting but is probably most suitable for someone who has some prior experience in psychology, art& design, or tech. I got UX contract job shortly after graduation but I already did have several years of work experience in the arts/media. -

Applied for Springboard because I felt this program would give me the right tools needed to create a UX/UI portfolio. The curriculum provided all the internal/external resources and the 1-on-1 mentorship was a great experience. -

The instruction was excellent. The TA's were very helpful. My mentor was awesome. I feel confident in my abilities now I am job searching for an entry level position. I am on solid ground. Only drawbacks are that I feel like it was not emphasized that if you fail any of the mock interviews twice, you do not get the job guarantee. I came to this realization when I started doing the mock interviews at the end. Could be a determining factor in signing up for some people. Also, the mock interviewers need to follow the rubric for the mock interviews more strictly. The amount of variability in how Interviewers should be minimized as much as possible. -

Overall, based on my research it was one of the best programs out there.
Pros: great one-on-one mentor and career coach calls, which can teach you things that are not on internet.
Slack community is very helpful, and create a teamwork feeling throughout the course. Weekly office hours and career sessions are also helpful. Job assistance and guarantee is comprehensive.
Cons: The curriculum can be messy or vague at times; it has the great foundation but needs more refining. They can also include more advanced options for developing skills.
It is better to have a background/practice in visual design going in, otherwise your work is not going to be as good. -

UI/UX Track - A Valuable Investment

To preface this review, I started this program while pursuing my Bachelors Degree in Graphic Design. Now although I had 3 years of schooling in Design I felt like the projects I was given didn't provide me with the real-life experience I needed to enter the industry with confidence. After researching various bootcamps I felt that Springboard provided the best option for the best cost. I ended up signing up for the UI/UX course because it contained an emphasis in not only visual design but also in user research and user experience. I wanted to make sure that when I completed my certification that not only would it provide me with some valuable portfolio pieces but that it would help me feel comfortable applying for a job in the field post graduation. Overall, this course exceeded my expectations the mentors were amazing and provided me with some very valuable feedback whether that was related to various assignments or career advice. As some who went to a university and has a degree in Design I don't think I would have gained the same experience and knowledge I gained from Springboard at school. The experience was truly phenomenal and I would recommend it to anyone (especially females interested in Tech!). -

After researching online for almost 2 months, I finally zeroed down on Springboard. I have never had a pleasant experience with online studies, however Springboard is a game changer. Not only do they support you completely during the course, an extended 6 months support, post competition is provided which is an USP to Springboard. Moreover weekly one to one mentor calls, truly motivate you complete the weeks curriculum in order to present/ discuss with your mentor. Springboard also offers a Job Guarantee program to all eligible students, with the best of the best career coaches to guide you find you dream job. What I liked most was the flow of curriculum. Straight to the point. I can confidently say I learnt and enjoyed the last 6 months at Springboard and will definitely recommend SB to family and friends. -

A Life-Changing Course

I am so thankful for my time at Springboard! The course is well laid out and designed to prepare students for a design role. I felt as though the projects contributed to my understanding of Sketch and made me more confident in my abilities to use new programs for design. By far, the best part of the course was my mentor. I struggled initially due to some personal issues, and he inspired and encouraged me to continue with the course, even when I fell behind. With his support and the support of Springboard's career coaches, I graduated this past month. (With a completed resume and portfolio website to boot!) To any future Springboard students reading this: Know that there is a lot of reading in the first few units that may make you feel overwhelmed. You'll make it through! Take a breath, and even if you fall behind, you will have all the resources to succeed. Good luck!! -

Valuable Investment

I was always interested in looking into a boot camp for improving my programming abilities as I felt college's style of teaching never got to me. With Springboard, my mind was so focused on the curriculum that I questioned if the cost was worth the investment. In retrospect, I would of started sooner as it expanded my mental horizon in a lot of ways from my approach to learning, improving my productivity, better managing my time, and ,y networking skills that translates to being more sociable. The connections I have made have been so invaluable to my growth as a person that my confidence in my ability to succeed has bolstered by the person I have become. It also served as a good time filler during the Pandemic while I was working on the COVID response and graduating college. It was manageable and I attribute the mentorship to that. This program fills the void that college could not fill for me as I feel more clarity in my direction path. -

This course will help teach the fundamentals of UX/UI Design through hands-on course work and accompanying curriculum. You will have a mentor and career coach who will be guiding you throughout the curriculum, in my opinion this is where the course really shines, you will be able to ask and learn a lot of things from professionals. I need to point out that mentors are a hit or miss, there are some mentors who are really willing to help and some that are not, good thing about this is you will be able to reach out to Springboard and request a switch.
Overall, the course will give you the tools to succeed in a professional environment- they cover basic fundamentals, design sprints, and you will also be matched with a company for your final project to experience real-life scenario work as a designer. The course is self-paced, I finished the course within 6 months and some students have finished even earlier. Job assistance is pretty mediocre, there are no job placements but at the end of the course Springboard will be sending you a list of companies that can give you a referral before you apply for the job. -

The program content was standard, it's meant to make students more comfortable in searching for answers by themselves. I believe what you are truly paying for is its mentorship program, which is awesome! My mentor taught me how the real world actually focus on for skills, how a data science team uses agile methodology, what his typical day in work is like, and a lot of real world examples to expand my horizon on data science while keeping me accountable in this study journey. -

UI/UX
Read more Read less of Kara Brandon's review
I am thankful for my time with Springboard. There is no doubt that I have leveled-up my skills as a designer, and have increased my value to teams--it follows that there is a sizable pay increase for the types of roles I am now qualified to fill. Coming into the bootcamp, I made it clear that there would only be value on my investment if I created good work, honed marketable skills and took it upon myself to work as hard as I can to create good work and get noticed. I think it's important to understand that your bootcamp alone is not going to land you a job. The effectiveness of your work will get you noticed, and your work with career advisers to ace interviews alongside finding an awesome culture fit and industry you can get excited about will combine to land you a role. I have heard this in multiple job interviews, that the reason I'm in the interview is because of the quality work in comparison to other bootcamp grads who don't have a design background. This is especially true if you're into UI, less so for UX.
I do feel the curriculum and the projects set students up to create the right types of work to get hired. As a designer, I brought a healthy amount of design skills to the program, and I think that really helps throughout the course and job hunt. I do feel it was more challenging for fellow students without a design background to cram design skills into their work while learning the value of UX. The most valuable project is your Industry project, where you'll be matched with a company to help them solve some UI/UX issues--this is really valuable and acts as an internship inside your bootcamp. I really loved my industry team and felt it added a good project to my portfolio.
I had a great mentor who offered really fair and measured advice. She also creates her own content and has an awesome portfolio with large brands, so I immediately felt that lent to the value of the course.
Overall, Springboard launched some great opportunities for me, and I would recommend it for students in design and/or students who wouldn't mind working a bit harder to learn design basics to then apply to their UX work -

To preface this review, I began this program with a background in a very specific area of design outside of tech. I had experience with design thinking and collaboration, just not in a corporate setting. I signed up for the UI/UX career course because of how comprehensive it seemed to be. I wanted to make sure that when I completed my certification that it would really land me in a position to feel comfortable taking a job in the field. It took me the entirety of 2020 to complete the program (I took some breaks and extensions) but I accepted a job offer within a week of completing the course. The job offer was exactly what I was hoping for when I was working on the program and I know that the extra time and energy that I put into the course allowed me to get the role. This course will give you what you put into it. You have to put in the work and you have to advocate for yourself. Take advantage of mentorship and career guidance. Don't cut corners with your portfolio. Stay focused. If you do, this course can change your life like it did for me. -

Getting into the UX Design Field was a dream for me. It is a field which I am extremely passionate about. I was at a stage where I wanted to do a proper course but not a full length graduation for more than 2 years. My main priority was also not just the course material but would I be taught the things that are necessary in a working environment. That's when I started researching about Courses and came across Springboard. Of all the courses I listed down, Springboard was the most flexible I could find to fit into my schedule. Initially it was just the basic/Foundation of UX. But as I went deeper and deeper, I felt like I was studying and managing a project in a working environment. At the end, I got the opportunity to do a project in a proper company and get the feel of utilising what I learnt in the course to solve a real-life company problem. I have to admit, despite doing the huge capstone, I was still scared, wondering What If I am not able to solve their problem or what If I do things that might be embarrassing. But the mentors and student advisors were there every step of the way calming my rapidly beating heart. But once I got into the company, things just came out smoothly, that's when I truly started appreciating the course on how well it prepared me to do this job, and thoroughly enjoying it during the process. All this I was able to do while having a baby and taking care of him afterwards. That's another reason I am glad I chose Springboard. Once I became pregnant after the course, I had only 6 months time to finish it, but I was gonna have a baby and everything. That's when I reached out to Springboard telling them my concerns. Not only did they take my situation into consideration, but understood my predicament, and tailored the course around my schedule so that I may complete the course and start applying for a job. They told me, they understand how difficult it would be for a person who is having a baby, take care of them, and come back into the job market. Which is why, they would like to help me in anyway to prepare me to get a job. For that I am filled with gratitude. Thankyou Springboard for this and for making me have a good portfolio. -

Springboard's Machine Learning Career Track has been one of the best career decisions I have ever made. From online advertisements, Machine Learning or Data Science aspirants may have doubts about how effective the curriculum is or whether the job guarantee is worthwhile given the detailed curriculum and course fees. But trust me, from someone who has gone through this, every penny will count provided you UTILIZE their brilliant offerings and EXECUTE the plan which they advise. Mentors and Career Coaches are blessings which one will cherish while learning a new technology and looking for jobs. This is The USP of Springboard. They are such wonderful people to work with - they have patience to handle all your worries and advise you with the best strategies. Remember to stick to the plan and not to lose focus or pace - and you will see how this course works wonders for you.
Thank you Springboard. -

I was very satisfied with the Data Analytics Career Track at Springboard. From enrollment to completion everyone I interacted with was very friendly. The main reason I was attracted to Springboard was the 1:1 mentorship that was part of the learning process.
As a novice to Data Analytics, I was very happy to have the mentor to guide me when I struggled and showed me new insights along the way. The rapport you build with your mentor is very valuable and with out this, the program would have been much harder for me to complete.
I would recommend Springboard to anyone I meet. What a great investment for my future and it will be for yours as well! -

I just wrapped up the full-time UX/UI Design Career Track program through Springboard, and what an experience! Overall, great curriculum with in-depth projects and resources. The support from Springboard was incredible- the mentor I was matched with went over and above, we had great discussions and he provided helpful feedback and direction time and time again. The fact that I can't readily think of any major 'cons' speaks to the preparation and thought that went into designing this course! I will definitely recommend Springboard to anyone that may be looking for a remote study option. -

A Confidence Building Experience
Read more Read less of Ellie Morris's review
The entire course at Springboard was such a great experience, from beginning to end. The research not only allowed me to expand my knowledge, but it taught me how to self-learn.
Originally, I had enrolled in a UX Bootcamp with UCI, and planned to attend in person classes. However, when COVID came about, they moved their entire course online, and didn't alter the 12,000 tuition. I wasn't sure how prepared UCI would be to conduct remote classes, and if they would be able to offer the same value as if it had been in person. When I called them, I received no change in the tuition for a fully remote course, and little help. This reception changed my mind about the course, and with much difficulty sought to get back my downpayment as the course was no longer the same. I decided to look for a course that was intended to be online, as I was hoping that they would have a curriculum built around the online factor.
I researched multiple schools, and settled on Springboard as it was reputed for a wealth of curriculum and resources. My introductory phone call went so well, and the woman I spoke with expressed sympathy for my complications with my UCI Bootcamp. The tuition for my UX Career Track was half of the tuition for UCI, which would now be the in the same format.
I was wary of the online factor, and wasn't sure if I would be able to find motivation to keep up with my work. When I began, it seemed as though Springboard already knew the struggles of working from home. The best thing that cut against my procrastination was having a mentor who I met with once a week. Every week I wanted to have accomplished something new to show him, and have moved forward in the course. In addition, one of my favorite little things was that there was a little note on each section, saying how long it took to complete the section. It became a game for me, seeing how quickly I could complete the section, trying to beat the time. (While still retaining the information I learned.) Springboard drew from a wealth of resources, and offering me viewpoints from websites I had never heard of, I learned of sources I could continue to tap for information.
My UX course took me through the design process, taught me how to think about it, my mentor refined my process, and at the end of the day, left me feeling equipped beyond what I thought possible. In addition, there were career calls throughout the course that taught me how other professionals responded to me, and built my confidence so much. I felt like the course successfully brought me, not to the end of the course, but to the start of my career. I was brought into the world of UX Professionals, and accepted as one of them.
I have and will continue to recommend Springboard to people around me. The course gave me a strong foundation, and boosted my confidence to view myself as a UX Designer, and an industry professional. -

I would recommend Springboard to anyone trying to learn while working. The independent and self pace structure is what set it apart from other programs, and the mentors are there for you the whole way. At times, I did feel it was a little too independent and got very stressed out, but there are a bunch of resources and a community there if you need it. Honestly, my decision to do the course was very spontaneous and I after I signed up I was overwhelmed, but now that it's over I can't be more happy with my decision. This course set me up for a new career path, something that I was in desperate need for. I'm just about to start my job search in a bad economy, so a bit nervous. But proud of myself for using the pandemic as a time to learn and grow instead of wait around. -

I took the Data Science Career Track (and prep) and was very impressed with the material covered and the real world examples they used in this course. If I was to do it all over again I would schedule a 1:1 mentor call each day on top of my weekly mentor call. The daily mentor call people can help you with anything but you only get 1 a day. I ended up finding a job before I graduated the course. I owe a lot to Springboard for my success! -

UX / UI
Read more Read less of Nicolas Baas's review
The courses mainly consist of videos and articles to be read and watched. This may seem counterproductive, but in the long term, one realizes that the organization of the work has been designed to maximize the assimilation of knowledge - everything has been distributed according to a precise agenda, which presents successive objectives in the same way as a game (with progress bar, etc).
Following your own progress week after week, taking a review each time with your mentor is fun, exciting and above all very effective. You find yourself absorbing a significant amount of knowledge in a very short period of time.
Just be warned that the UX / UI course is quite dense, and should not be taken lightly. The training is well worth the investment if you do it seriously.
Last precision : I think that the courses proposed by Springboard are mostly valued in the United States. In Europe, few people seems to know this institution. It's unfortunate, but people are starting to do the same thing here - which is a good sign in regards of quality. -

Organized and Hands-on
Springboard provided an organized way for students to learn the design thinking methodology and apply it! The community support and the hands-on approach were well done. The community was helpful, responsive and positive and the hands-on coursework really helped me develop skills I didn't even know I had. I was even able to apply my skills to a project with a real world company. -

I love that I got to meet my mentor once a week plus emailing him whenever I needed feedback or advice during the course. The process of going through each unit was pretty fluid and Springboard continues to make improvements to the user experience of their platform for everyone no matter what section they’re on. The advisors always get back to me whenever I had questions. Something that I hope they add to the curriculum is a feature that either shows a call-to-action if a work submitted for a unit was approved or not. Sometimes I submit work and turns out I need to go back to make edits when I’m already on the next unit. Also when it came to moving on to the IDP, I didn’t know that I had to email my advisor. So maybe adding a button in the IDP unit to confirm that the student is ready to start the IDP could make it easier.
I just completed the UX Career Track, which took me more than 6 months because I was working full time. I ended up leaving my job because 1) I wasn’t happy, and 2) I didn’t have the capacity to balance both responsibilities. I was fortunate to be living with my parents at the time so it made it easier to just focus on school rather than needing a job to pay for rent.
Before graduating, I got a job near the end of my course. I was actually scouted due to updating my portfolio and LinkedIn with feedback from my career coach. -

Springboard is an awesome place to get your start in data analytics. While their curriculum is intensive (as it cover a large breadth industry skills and knowledge), it is impressively structured to keep you on track to finish the program within 6-months. Springboard also has amazing mentors! From your 1-on-1 industry expert mentorship to Springboard's dedicated career and support advisors, Springboard has got it down. I would 100% recommend Springboard to anyone who is looking for a data analytics program that offers both support and substance.
