    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.

    Software Engineering Track

    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

    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!

    UX Research Career Track

    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

    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

    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.

    Great Program - Feel Competent - Only a few negatives

    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.

    Decent Comprehensive experience in Product/UX Design

    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!).

    Exceeded Expectations!!!!

    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.

    Pretty good curriculum, excellent mentorship!

    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.
