    Springboard's UI/UX Design Program Review

    Having recently completed Springboard's UI/UX Design program, I can confidently say it was an enriching experience overall.

Their guidance was invaluable, and I feel fortunate to have been matched with such a supportive individual.

    Springboard provides comprehensive training and support

    I just completed Springboard's Cyber Security Career Track program and am very happy with the results. The program offers one-on-one bi-weekly and on-demand mentorship with industry professionals, monthly and on-demand career coaching, as well as comprehensive training in the basics of Cyber Security. The coursework prepared me well for the CompTIA Security+ exam, which I was able to pass on my first try without ANY professional IT experience! Additionally, the cost of the program is rea...

    Awesome!

    Springboard is a largely self-paced bootcamp, though there are still milestones that need to be met by the student. I would say for me the biggest pro of Springboard is that they offer their students more career support than any other program out there, which is massive! The con of Springboard is that there are no live lectures, so if that's the environment in which you learn, then the nature of this program can be difficult for you.

    Informative and "Entry-Level" Friendly

    I completed Springboard's Cyber Security Career Track course in April 2024 and am very happy that I decided to go with Springboard. I am a former coach/teacher with zero IT/Tech experience, minus building and maintaining my PC during COVID and teaching the older coaches how to use a laptop, lol. I had researched and talked to multiple boot camps offering a cybersecurity track but needed a course that would allow me to work at my own pace and not be confined to pre-determined meeting time...

    Great mentorship experience

    I joined a bootcamp to speed up my networking while in a medium-sized city. I really enjoyed learning while being in touch with great coaches and mentors. At the end of the day, you learn cybersecurity and get a job by working hard and putting yourself out there. Springboard made that more possible in a very busy season of life.

    Worth it

    Course is fast paced but detailed , gave me skills that i was missing. The support and mentorship program they have is wonderful. I would recommend to anyone wanting to start a career in data analytics. Would be nice to have included more visualization tools like Denodo and more ways for student to interact. Career support/coaching is wonderful in helping you get your desire analytics position

    "My 8 month experience at Springboard Data Science Career Track"

    The overall experience at Springboard Data Science Career Track is good, especially the curriculum content and the 1:1 mentor directions. The curriculum content difficulty ranges from easy to difficult and it is very good for practice and sharpen your skills, even for me who have already learned python and data science by myself for almost two years. About my mentor, for my questions, he always ask me to try my own ideas and see the result, not just tell me to do this or not do that blab...
