Data Science Career Track Review for Full-time Working Person
Read more Read less of Theofilus Pujianto's review
P.S. I took this class while busy working full time during this pandemic
This program is not just a classroom. It is something new to me since I've only been in traditional school or classroom. I think what Springboard taught me is pretty practical and on top of that, the mentor. Imagine if you have a TA but this is from the industry, that's my experience with my mentor.
More than just the curriculum, what I found very helpful is the job search support. Of course, I could not speak that much since I have not found a job as DS yet, but I do feel like it's helpful. Instead of just blindly applying for jobs posted on job boards, I was taught more methodically profound approach (which hopefully I can testify with a success in the near future).
The cons - it's quite overwhelming. Unless you have DS background or similar, you would need to work hard to get as much as possible from this program. For me personally, it was quite too much at times. I allocated times after finishing the program to actually review / relearning data science from other articles to sharpen my data science skills. Do you have to do the same? probably not. During my review, I found I picked up the materials pretty fast. Doing review on your own will give you extra confidence in your knowledge but it'd come back to you. -

I've been looking for an organized way to learn and study because I found that lurking the web on my own did not contribute to my learning too much. I am not disappointed with my choice, as Springboard provides an affordable, structured and completely relevant knowledge, that will definitely assist you in starting your SWE career. In addition to that, you get a personal mentor, who will guide you and provide valuable resources during you studies. And, of course, there is a very supportive and caring team, who will assist you at any time -

Great Data Analytics Boot Camp

Just finished the Springboard Data Analytics boot camp and would strongly recommend it to anyone who is looking to learn data analytics and pursue a career. Overall, I thought the Springboard curriculum was well curated and I feel very prepared to begin a career in data analytics. The course gave me strong skills in Excel, SQL, Tableau, Python and more. As I was finishing my final project, I was really pleased with how much I could already do in Python and SQL and feel more than prepared to contributed to a company with my data analytics skills. There were a few projects and subunits that were confusing or hard to followup but the Springboard team is great at soliciting feedback and improving its curriculum based on that feedback. Overall, a great course. -

Excellent Mentorship

I didn't know what pandas was when I started the Data Science Career Track program, and now I feel mostly confident while applying to jobs.
Because I have not experience in data science, I'll probably work up from a data analytics role.
Biggest Pro: Excellent Mentorship. My mentor was competent, kind, and genuinely wants to help people achieve their goals.
Biggest Con: Didn't communicate I need to be practicing on websites like HackerRank or LeetCode. I wish they had recommended it from the start. For beginners, I suggest Edabit.com. -

UI / UX Design Career Track Certification

After being laid off from my market analyst job in April, I decided to enroll in Springboard's UI/ UX Design Track to educate myself on the world of UX methodologies. The curriculum was intensive and very informative, and my 1:1 sessions with my mentor, and later my career coach, were exceptional. I landed a full-time UX Researcher role within a month of completing my certificate! I highly recommend the UX programs at Springboard as your foot in the door to the industry, and their career facilities are exceptional. -

Best decision made in 2020!
Read more Read less of Iris Lu's review
I just finished the course last month and start job hunting for two weeks. I did not have any tech background and I was searching for all the available options for in-person and online DS bootcamps in NYC. After careful comparison and considering the situation of pandemic, I chose Springboard and it has been a rewarding journey. There are several aspects I like about the experience: 1. the course material is well-selected and covers all the basics for a junior data scientist. 2. My mentor has been very helpful through the whole process and I think it is a good training for me to find the best questions to ask and communicate in the limited time. 3. Springboard tries to support me with all kind of tech support(code review, weekly Q&A meetings) to make up for the difficulty of online learning. 4. Springboard offers job guarantee and the career coach is the best I ever had and Springboard is trying hard to prepare the students with job market from day 1.
There are things to consider as well: I was doing it full-time and it took me 8 months to finish. If you are very busy schedule with your life and have no coding experience before like me, it needs a lot of efforts to stay on track. Also, you have to be able to learn independently because there are no TAs around you all the time.
Overall, I like the Springboard community and I believe they are doing a great job in preparing their students for the future jobs. -

I loved my time with Springboard. It's hands on learning was perfect for me because I learn best when I am doing hands on. You work on multiple projects and at the end you get an internship. I learned so much and I can't wait to get out into the real world! -

Very dense curriculum (needs curating) | Excellent career services
Read more Read less of Alina Gheonea's review
The curriculum was way denser than I expected, with A LOT of articles to read and I think it needs to be curated more, because a lot of them say the same thing in a different form. I did the course full-time, as I was unemployed, and finished it in 5 months; it basically occupied my whole time, including the week-ends.
Especially in the beginning of the course, it was pretty hard to follow because there was a lot to read and very little practical stuff - but it got much better as the course progressed and more practical assignments came up. The 1:1 mentor calls were priceless, with the assigned mentor as well as the additional mentor calls. The IDP (Industry Design Project) wasn't the best match (I was asked about my preferences but it all depends on the available projects, and people assumed that I'd be ok with doing something related to my old career, which wasn't the case at all), but with the help of my mentor I managed to turn it into a good portfolio piece.
The career services were excellent, throughout the course and also after it was finished (6 months of career services are included after the end of the curriculum). I got a job offer in 2 months after completing the course (after a month of more actively applying), which I accepted. And yes, it was through networking. So overall it was well worth it and I would highly recommend it. -

Software Engineering career track

I have just graduated from the Software engineering career track program by Springboard and I'd like to say it is AWESOME! learning to code is a long process and it makes all the sense in the world that you take your time to learn deeply and apply what you have learned through projects. I loved everything about springboard, Colt Steel is an awesome instructor and it takes some amazing character to make over 100 hours of video content that does not bore students! the modules are really well thought out, the exercises are very good, not to mentions that there is an exercise for almost everything you learn, and further study exercises too.
The most important part about springboard in my opinion that students are matched with mentors, this is crucial because it's not just the weekly calls that counts, it's all those long emails and showing you different ways of solving a problem or writing code that really counts, having a mentor that shares his/her experience with you is invaluable.
The student success team is really great, they are quite supportive, helping with time management and organization are very important since there is so much to learn.
Another important aspect of the course is the career modules, every few weeks, a non-technical module will be up, where students would have to work towards finding a job, be it building a resume, crafting an elevator pitch, networking, doing mock interviews and so on, at the end of those modules, you can book a call with a career coach to discuss progress and get feedback.
Students also have access to TAs who are very helpful, responsive, and really good software engineers, the course also gives you access to many students in your cohort or otherwise in a slack group, I was personally involved in a study group that has impacted me a lot, knowing that others share your struggles and victories is important.
Conclusion: this is an amazing course, It's obvious that the good people of springboard have spent so many hours thinking and planning and I could not have been more satisfied with the overall experience, I highly recommend it. -

I did the Data Science Career Track with Springboard.
Pros:
The weekly mentor calls are immense. My mentor has strong experience as a data scientist and he was able to answer every question I had along with providing great feedback for my projects.
The career coaching is fantastic. The amount of recruiters reaching out to me via LinkedIn since they helped me retool has been very noticeable. Additionally they also helped change up my resume.
The mock interviews were also incredibly helpful. Interviews were always something I had struggled with and their interview prep has definitely helped me in my current interviews.
Cons:
I think their curriculum could be better. I had to supplement a lot of it with books, YouTube, and courses on LinkedIn Learning.

Great value, great career coaching and mentors

I was laid off in March due to Covid, so I decided to hop into a bootcamp to prep me for my next career move. After reading the reviews and learning of Springboard's job placement guarantee, I enrolled, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. In this course I learned how to better use excel and formulas to wrangle and analyze data, I learned data visualization tools such as Tableau and Power BI, and I also learned SQL and Python which are high demand languages. Springboard's mentor support and career coaching really helped guide me down a path that led me to my current role; one I landed while taking this course. If you are looking to pivot your career or just learn new skills to pad that resume, Springboard is your ticket. Best bang for your buck. They teach you the tools that are CURRENTLY being used in the data world, whereas many other bootcamps' teachings are a bit dated. -

Excellent student support; committed to student's success
Read more Read less of Gregor Kalfas's review
I took (and completed) the UX Career Track at Springboard. It consists of a well-planned curriculum, designed to guide the students in creating projects for their portfolios. You end up with three different projects/case studies to include in your portfolio, which is great. I also liked how we were free to choose the topic/problem area for our own capstone projects, which is not an option in every bootcamp. I also appreciated having a dedicated mentor, with whom I checked in every week. Springboard also offers unlimited extra calls with one of their vast corps of mentors.
Interspersed with the curriculum are career/job-focused units, which help you prepare your resumé and LinkedIn, and gives you guidance in networking, informational interviewing, job interviewing and more, each with one-on-one meetings with a dedicated career coach.
I was truly impressed with the support of Springboard, and felt the entire staff, mentors, career coaches, were all dedicated to the student's success.
If I had to come up with a "con" it would be that a few units relied on outdated or irrelevant articles. That said, they have an excellent mode of receiving feedback from the students, so it was easy to let them know of areas of improvement. -

UX Career Track: Great coursework, with amazing support
Read more Read less of Justin Korf's review
Pros: 1:1 Mentorship; I can not stress enough how crucial this was to my success. My mentor reviewed each of my projects and gave constructive criticism that helped shape my capstone project.
The support you get from your student advisor, career coaches, and HR team where all very professional and really wanted to see you complete the coarse, and helped in any way possible.
Springboard encourages networking with meetups and conventions
The coursework was challenging and did a good job explaining what the goals were. After completion I feel much more comfortable doing projects on my own.
Even after the coarse is over they still support you throughout your job search, by reviewing offers, and helping prepare for interviews.
Cons: Sometimes you can be paired with a mentor that you do not vibe with. That is ok, we all learn differently and have different styles of receiving information. Just communicate with springboard.
Sometimes the coursework will seam out of date or will have a standard that is not practiced anymore within the industry. Your mentor will normally be first to point this out, so it's easily corrected.
Do not get frustrated with having to redo some coursework, trust the process. -

I was looking to restart my career after a gap of few years. Although I had IT experience my inclination toward data analysis led me to pursue and study from one of the best online learning platforms Springboard. I did research about a few online learning platforms and Springboard suited my needs.
They have a well designed curriculum with all the latest tools and technologies used for data analysis. I was impressed with the unlimited mentor calls that they provide. Whenever I felt stuck it was so helpful to book a call with the mentor and clear my doubts. All the mentors are industry experts in their own industry with extensive experience.
Springboard also provides career coaching, resume creation, linkedIn profile updates so that you can begin your journey into this new career path.
I have completed my certification and feel confident that the skills I have learnt will help me to land a job and find my new career path.
Thank you Springboard for this exciting experience. -

UX Design Career Track

I decided to enroll in the UX Design Career Track because I knew it would help me transition into a field I'd enjoy. I'd hear other people say, "can that be self-taught?" or "isn't there a quicker way?". I knew from the start that UX is a craft and it'd be a huge investment, both financially and personally. Rather than trying to figure out what you need to learn, Springboard's curriculum gives you a clear understanding of the field and all that you can expect when performing the job of a UX Designer. Springboard did a fantastic job of providing learning resources, which ranged from articles, videos, Ted Talks, and hands-on activities that would allow you to grasp design concepts. It was an excellent starting point! This field is all about continuously learning and Springboard will show you what you need to be learning in order to improve your craft. Not only that, but your assigned mentor is a UX professional and they'll walk you through everything to make sure you're fully equipped to be a design professional. These mentors are the real deal!! Talking directly to industry professionals who want to get you to industry standard is incredibly valuable.
Although it took me a little longer than 6 months to complete the program, I've come out of the program feeling incredibly prepared to continue learning about the field and positioning myself for a job. I'll highlight the outcomes of this program: I have a portfolio, I was able to work with a real client, I've gained all the skills necessary for the job, I'm building a network of designers, and I'm about to start receiving full support as I job hunt. I had a phenomenal experience and I couldn't see myself pursuing design any other way! -

I started Springboard's SWE track in March with a degree in IT but no real hands on coding experience, outside of small terminal based things. I am just now about 60% through with the program and have already had several job offers, one of which I accepted. Before the program I made $40k as an application support specialist with no room for upward growth, and am now making $65k with ample opportunities for progression. This program has literally changed my life. I think Springboard's mentor inclusion and emphasis on testing and career development sets it miles above any other bootcamp. -

I completed the Data Science Career Track Bootcamp in September 2020, after spending 9 months learning to code in HTML, CSS, and Python. I knew some basic data science concepts but, in hindsight, my self-taught tools were haphazard and would not make me a competitive job candidate.
Having completed this bootcamp, I have a much more compelling set of data science projects, and can speak much more confidently about using DS tools, whether during a networking event or interview. -

Springboard: The perfect way to jump from a dead-end job for a high-growth industry.
Read more Read less of Matt Chrostowski's review
I was that person that was stuck in a dead-end job in a dying industry with all attempts of finding other work completely failing. I came to a crossroads in my career where I could settle in my industry and hope for the best or completely start over in something new. I am sure many of you looking at these reviews are in very similar positions. After reviewing coding boot camps, I found Springboard offered the best program with support and coaching. All of it was true. All of it was needed. I did this program with a full-time job and the online flexibility made it possible. It will be challenging, it will take some weekends, but it will give you a skill set that is absolutely in demand with limitless growth potential. The program teaches you what you need to know for your first data analyst role. The mentors, advisors, and career coaches help you get the role. It takes a village and I can attribute all of my success to the Springboard village. -

Working with Data in previous Sales and Marketing roles introduced me to the importance of understating how to extrapolate information from data. First, I needed the latest critical skills from a technical perspective. Then, I needed to learn how to ask the right questions and form a systematic approach in searching through data. Finally, it was critical to learn how to present the data and findings in a manner that was relevant to my audience. My presentations offered insight and recommendation toward mission critical issues within multiple organizations of a company. Springboard's curriculum, staff and resources provided me with everything I needed to ensure that said recommendations weren't simply taken as "suggestions"...they were acted upon. Thank you Springboard! -

I found my passion for coding and saw Colt Steele's YouTube video on him starting a bootcamp course. I instantly signed up to be apart of the first cohorts to start the course.

PROs: Great Curriculum. MOSTLY easy to understand information. Mentors are Top Notch, they know what they are doing and are more than willing to help you understand and get past the tough parts of the course.
CONs: Some of the process can stall out. I work best with a team. i have realized that. This way we can use our strengths to help each other. It would have been an asset to have projects to do with others. But I guess thats what will be there working in an online environment. -

Supportive Learning Environment
Read more Read less of Jessica Johnson's review
Pros: Great communication and support from staff (especially during COVID times); straightforward curriculum; weekly mentor calls for support and guidance; internship with a real company; supportive network of fellow students; ability to pay after you land a job; takes student feedback for how to improve the course; and career coaching continues after you finish the course.
Cons: Internship was difficult in terms of communication (my company was in India) and being able to do great work in 4 weeks; could be cost prohibitive for some (however, see above); doing the course alongside working full time could prevent you from finishing in 6 months; I felt they could expand more on some things like the design sprint (since this seems to be the industry norm these days) and the mock interviews.
Overall, I had a great experience with Springboard and feel that they were truly supportive of me and met me where I was, with no previous design or tech experience (I came from a human services background). I highly recommend this bootcamp to anyone looking to pursue a career change into tech. -

I enrolled already having some knowledge in Data Science but wasn’t able to find a job by myself. Springboard taught me not only data science knowledge but, more importantly, skills on how to present yourself properly. With my mentor’s help, I started blogging about my projects, which, I believe, helped me immensely. Resume writing tips I couldn’t get from anywhere else are also very valuable.
Midway thought the course I managed to find an internship. I got a full-time job offer within a month after graduation.
Springboard is an opportunity, but you have to work hard to get the most out of it. Keeping your dedication though the course is demanding, the materials you have to learn are not easy, and you have to do really interesting capstone projects to succeed. But your hard work pays off, and you get support from your mentor and career advisor both during the course and after graduation.

Pros:
• Project-based curriculum. You'll complete the course with four portfolio-ready projects.
• Weekly mentor calls and development of mentor relationship
• Networking requirements within the curriculum and career coaching, support, and preparation
Cons:
• No formal collaboration with fellow students
• Industry Client Project (in my experience) was with a very small startup; a bit challenging to produce impactful work in the 4-week timeframe -

This program will definitely prepare you and give you the skills needed to be an effective analyst. I came into it with some analysis experience in my past but had been out of the industry for several years so I wanted to brush up old skills and learn new skills. Since COVID caused all my contract work to be cancelled this year I was able to work on this program nearly full time and finished it in just over 3 months. Most of the assignments were clear and could be completed with the provided instruction or a quick internet search. Only once or twice did I need to use the unlimited mentor call feature to get unstuck on something. I think the biggest value for me on this was the career support side. There are some modules interspersed with the technical material on how to search and how to manage you LinkedIn page. They help you with your resume as well. Then after you complete the course you have weekly calls with a career coach to keep you on track and give interview advice etc. I got pretty good traction right away and am currently waiting for an offer letter from Mercedes Benz USA just 2 months into my search. -

Online learning at its best! Springboard pairs you with a personal mentor, career coaches, and a student advisor. You also have access to a large online community of fellow students where you can bounce ideas off each other and network. The program gives you practical skills to handle complex UI/UX challenges confidently in both B2C and B2B companies. You learn by doing and end up with a fantastic portfolio to help you land that first job. There's also an internship with a real company to put your new skills to the test while discussing any challenges you face with your mentor.
Springboard is on the cutting edge of what's new in the industry. Coming out of the gate, I exchanged knowledge with industry veterans and applied what I learned in my present job.
The learning material is high-quality. I got as much knowledge from this online program as I did from a traditional master's degree program at Northeastern University — at a fraction of the cost!
Why should you consider UX/UI Design as a career?
It is a gratifying career as you get to dive into users' minds and empathize with them to deliver something that makes people's lives better. So, if empathy comes naturally to you, and you are eager to innovate and be creative, then UX designing may be an ideal career option for you. If so, I can't say enough about this program. I've learned so much. There are many niche avenues to pursue within UI/UX Design, and Springboard gives you exposure to all of them. -

Course Fee will be around 1.5 Lakhs for ML engineer POST
What spring board does they will provide you free open source links like YouTube links and from some blog links means the things/URL Those are free.
In other words - they don't have their own content.
They have collected free content from internet websites and have documented and giving or selling them 1.5 lakhs
They says they are charging more for mentors not for content
So if some one want to join the spring board then they should be like self study person.
Dont think so spring board content will help them entirely.
But it will surely depends on the person
About job assurance No idea how it works but please dont get trapped in those catchy lines.
please think and join the course.
According to me it is far expensive for learning anything from spring board for whatever money as they are providing free links for money it might sound like surprising. -

Hands on learning experience, I've become a much better designer with a portfolio I am confident about post-completion
Read more Read less of Gurveen's review
What I love about this course is that the built-in structure and the curated content makes the difference when trying to learn on your own vs taking this course. In retrospect I would have taken the UI/UX Design Career Track but it wasn't available when I started the UX Career track. Regardless, I think this course was worth it. I got to collaborate with other designers for my IDP and the opportunity to collaborate made the experience much more amazing.
In the beginning I was unsure but I chose to stick through with it and it was rewarding when I completed the program. I also wasn't used to online coursework or engaging in the slack community because I'm not very active on social media so that was a challenge. But in retrospect, I think the slack community is something I should have taken more advantage of because more online engagement with others has made me more comfortable and confident when communicating and networking with others and the more insights I gain from their experience that I can use to inform what I want for myself.
I also had a mentor that kept me on my toes and challenged me to perform and deliver better. And that resulted in a capstone project that I was very satisfied with the end result even though there's always room for growth. When working on my industry project, my mentor encouraged me to create a solution that addresses the company's measurable goals as well as user needs and provided resources that helped me establish direction for my projects.
I would have liked to learn more about UX Strategy and implementing it in our projects built into the course. These were encouraged by my mentor, but not built into the course.
