#SAY NO TO SPRINGBOARD
1.Joined Springboard with a aspiration of becoming of data scientist but got totally fooled when i saw the curriculm and the way they are just taking materials from other Ed-tech websites and just serving us.
2.Job gurantee and mentorship is totally very unorganised and very falsely implemented and not at all good .
3.There are lot of false promises and many students who are completing the course are not at all satisfied with the course and curriculum and left unemplOyed
4.This Course is not going to "CONVERT YOU A DATA SCIENTIST" as the curriculm is not well updated and not at all well structured
5.They demand huge amount of money for this course which they get it from other edtech websites like khan academy,Datacamp and youtube videos which we can easily get it in small pay
6.There cost weekly basis
****** WHEN I ASKED FOR REFUND THIS CALCULATION THEY GAVE ME****
Course Fee/Block Payment: Rs. 17,5000/-
Course Duration (Weeks) - 32
Per Week Amount - Rs. 5,469/-
Duration of Student (Weeks) - 6 months = 24 weeks
Total Amount - 5469*24 = 1,31,250/-
Total Deduction (round off) - 1,30,000/-
Refund amount: 45,000/-
***** THIS IS TO TOTALLY FRAUD AND BASELESS PRICE******
7.Even nothing was transperent on offer letter about weekly cost and all,they are just fooling around people just to fill there pocket and looting people hard earn money
*****OFFICE HOURS IS ANOTHER TWIST IN THE COURSE******
-> HERE THEY SAY THAT WE HAVE INDUSTRY EXPERTS WHO WILL GUIDE AND YOU WILL LEARN FROM THEM.SO THE REALITY IS ONCE A WEEK SOME INDUSTRY EXPERT COMES TAKE A ONE HOUR SESSION ON ANY RANDOM TOPIC,FOR THEM IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT STUDENT UNDERSTANDING LEVEL IS AND TILL WHERE HE HAS COMPLETED HIS TOPIC
FOR EXAMPLE: "YOUR ARE IN FIRST UNIT AND THEY WILL TAKE SESSION ON 8 UNIT"
-> THERE COURSE IS TOTALLY GOING TO BRING FRUSTRATION ON YOU MAINLY WHEN YOU ARE WORKING FULL TIME AND DOING THIS COURSE AND PRICE IS NOT AT ALL WORTH THE MONEY
CONCLUSION: PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY BECAUSE MARKET IS FULL OF FRAUD PEOPLE AND THEY WILL JUST PLAY WITH YOUR DREAM BY LOOTING YOU.

The final portfolio project really helped me get a taste of what a Data Scientist does on a day to day basis. If you complete the technical skills survey you'll have a good idea if you have what it takes to enroll in the full course. What Springboard really gets right is the structure of the program and the quality of their mentors and community.

-- No job assistance(You will have to find job yourself)
-- 6 months job guarantee is a liar.
-- There are lots of unemployment Spring board alumni.
-- 30 min mentor time once a week is not sufficient and satisfying. · it’s not worth at all, simply i can say waste of your hard-earned money and waste of time as well. So called mentors will be not available as per the schedules and they don’t spend much time with the students in explaining their doubts or explaining the concept. · Next coming to so called office hours, coding support sessions it’s just for the name sake they fix up the sessions without even asking/discussing our availability time, i can they do as per their need. · They force you to enrol for the course by paying 1.95 Lakhs and they also provide you easy EMI/Loan by third party finance company, after your enrolment they don’t even care/bother about you concerns related to course. · Most imp thing is, they state you like 100%per job guarantee after the successful completion of your course in 6 months but the hard fact is you can’t complete the course within the stipulated time as they mentioned since you don’t get proper support from mentors/support team after your enrolment in any manner and course is not easy at all as they state you while enrolling. · Whenever you try to reach support team/student adviser to discuss your concerns they don’t pick your call many times and if they receive the call they just say will come back to you in few min/EOD or will solve within EOD but you don’t get any solutions on time or they try to convince you as per their needs. · whenever you try to raise your concerns regarding the course, you will get only one statement/answer like you are not attending sessions properly, not following the mentor instructions or you are not spending your time. They will never ever agree their mistakes and listen you concerns as well. · Most pathetic part - When you say i am not satisfied with the course or if you ask for the cancellation and your money back, they simply say we don’t have refund policy at all and they will again try to convince you to the fullest with the flashy words/statements. It’s like mental harassment. · My suggestions please don’t waste your hard money and time as well. · if you are interested to learn data science and to make career transition, we have many institute in Bangalore who offer data science course, ML, AI course with very minimum fee ranges like 15–45k with excellent course structure so please don’t get fool y enrolling Springboard. · All the videos/materials provided by springboard are available for free in YouTube. · When the entire course material is free resources why they are charging 1.95 Lakhs I don’t understand · Mentor ship (mentor call) is something they make as a star of the program. But you will get to interact with your mentor once in a week only for half an hour. · I never got a chance to discuss in detail with my mentor as there was a time constraint (mentor is be not available after 30min) · Springboard is not helpful at all, all they are doing now, are blaming the students. · Whatever the things/words which i explained above, it’s my pathetic experience and wasted money as well. · Now for the curriculum. This was sadly most dissappointing. The course mainly revolves around data camp courses. And then these are supplemented by youtube lectures from Harvard or other institutions that would talk about the subject with the impression that you have intermediate knowledge of the subject matter, despite it being a beginners intro video to a concept. I have had much better success with the self study resources available on the internet, such as youtube tutorials etc. There was no feel of an actual boot camp teaching you, they basically link you to external sources that aren’t theirs. · The whole curriculum is just stuff taken off of the internet or LinkedIn learning. Very little original content. A lot of the content can be found by just doing a basic Google search. Overall this course did not live up to its hype. · I was told that these things do not matter and that you can easily land a job after you get both your projects done. I had done very detailed projects and posted them on github and did everything the career coaches suggested I do. Unfortunately, not a single data science position had reached out to me. · The program is a complete waste of money and time, one more thing, right after I completed my course, got the certification, In certification also they made blunder mistakes they added advanced ML track concepts like time series Analysis and Recommendation systems which is not an part of my NLP track.
· They dont know how to deal with students in a cordial way, I will not recommend this to anyone who is serious about learning Datascience, you can find their course on youtube for free · Frankly, I wish that I could get my money back. · I recommend staying away from wasting your money with them. · Don’t fall for false advertising. · I definitely made a wrong decision by joining Springboard.Springboard India Operations of Springboard

Hi Venkat,Thank you for your recent feedback. We’re sorry to hear you feel that way about your Springboard experience. Our goal is to help our students realize their full potential, and if we have failed you in this regard, we apologize.We’ve had the time to carefully review your feedback and speak to your individual mentor about your course. We wanted to take this opportunity to go over a number of things highlighted in your recent review of Springboard and share our perspective in the hope of clearing up any misunderstandings.In your review, you highlighted three primary main areas of concern. Below you will find our responses to each of these.CurriculumOur curriculum comprises curated study material, hands-on exercises, and a combination of mini and capstone projects. This material is either created in-house or curated from external sources and organized to ensure clarity and coherence.Your feedback on the Springboard curriculum—which was received at the sub-unit level on 50 instances during your time in the program—was 5/5 without exception. To our knowledge, you did not raise any concerns about the curriculum at any point during the course. If we had received any feedback from you during the course, rest assured we would have done everything in our power to help get you back on track and ensure you had a positive experience.Mentorship programIn your review, you mentioned that the weekly 30-minute mentor calls were not enough, and that your mentor did not commit time beyond this 30 minutes per week. We spoke to your mentor and he assured us that he did try and commit additional time to you. We also tried to provide you with extra mentor calls when Springboard extended your original six-month program at no additional cost.Career servicesAccording to our records, you were issued the completion certificate for your Springboard course one week before you left this review. We also noticed that you applied for a refund request on the same day you received your completion certificate.On the refund request, you mentioned that you were not able to find enough job opportunities. Transitioning into a data science career is not easy. Trust us, we get it. This is why we do our best to help our graduates through extensive career services in our courses, which we offer for a period of up to six months after course completion.

On top of that, the one-on-one mentor sessions are a huge advantage and really help when working through more complex topics or projects. My mentor was an industry veteran working for an A list tech company and his insight into my growth as a designer and design process was absolutely priceless. To top it all off, Springboard offers a "job-guarantee", although it does require a pretty rigorous job search regiment (which I was planning to do anyway). All in all, Springboard is an amazing value and should be very highly considered by anyone looking to make a career change. - Jun YinGraduate • Data Science Career Track • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJun 09, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Compared to other options, I think Springboard was the best choice to enter the field for me.

The price vs. quality was attractive as well since they have always been completely remote.

I would definitely recommend Springboard to anyone who is serious about their career change and plans not to look back. It's not easy and it has been difficult and fulfilling work. I fully committed my time to the course since January since I left my marketing job last year.
I completed in ~4.5 months, while working on the course full-time so it is doable, but required a lot of focus and dedication.
I feel very prepared to step into a new role, especially after my final project working with a startup to develop new product ideas.

Springboard's UX Career Track had everything I was looking for in a bootcamp!
When I was looking at bootcamps, I considered access to mentors, real world experience, and portfolio guidance. Springboard gives you unlimited mentor calls: during the busiest time of the curriculum for me, I was choosing to meet with 3-4 different mentors a week, which was awesome I got to do that. I learned the most from these industry professionals.

Springboard gives you unlimited mentor calls: during the busiest time of the curriculum for me, I was choosing to meet with 3-4 different mentors a week, which was awesome I got to do that. I learned the most from these industry professionals. There was 1 internship offered by the curriculum, and that was an invaluable experience because working as a designer on a team is very different than working alone. There was a unit in the curriculum dedicated to creating my portfolio, and I also chose to take the 2-month extension to have continued access to my mentors to just build my portfolio.
The mock interviews at the end of the bootcamp covered pretty much everything you would see at a UX interview: portfolio walkthrough, white-boarding, and behavioral. I appreciate the unlimited career coaching calls as well, including Linkedin and resume reviews. The bootcamp didn't give you real interview offers though- I heard a data science bootcamp did this but not sure if this is something UX bootcamps do where they have connections that get their students hired. I heard some students in this bootcamp got hired by their internship partner though.
The curriculum was informative: it is a combination of online articles and some articles written by Springboard mentors. These articles give more detail into UX topics and are good for referring back to (you get lifetime access to the curriculum after graduating).
Lastly, everyone I met was really friendly. The Springboard support staff is great and timely in their responses! The student advisors are awesome. The mentors know so much and the career counselors are so knowledgable. There's also a slack channel for all the students.
Your experience at Springboard is going to be what you make of it. They offer you a lot of valuable resources, and it's up to you to take advantage of them. - William DewData Scientist • Graduate • Data Science Career Track • OnlineVerified by LinkedInMay 22, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I signed up for this program to help enhance my skill set with regards to data analytics to help increase my technical acumen as a PM. I do want to say that this course is a very robust overview of data analytics, so likely not the best fit for someone who is already pretty well versed in excel, data visualization tools like Tableau or executive reporting.

I was very impressed with the program materials and how the breadth of curriculum did not diminish it's depth. It's engaging, easy to follow and informative. Also, access to a mentor weekly, definitely helps keep you on track so that you gain a deeper understanding and don't get held up by difficult assignments. All in all, not the best course for me as I already knew much of the content, but truly a great course for someone looking to start their career in data analytics.
