Amanda Verified via LinkedInFull Stack Engineer · Software Engineering Career Track · Graduation year 2020
Life Changing
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.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

This was a great online bootcamp experience!
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.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job support5.0Instructors4.0 -

Springboard: The perfect way to jump from a dead-end job for a high-growth industry.
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.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Data Analytics
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!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Best Bootcamp for UX/UI
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.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -
Jessica Johnson Verified via LinkedInGraduate · UX Design · Graduated 2020
Supportive Learning Environment
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.Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job support4.0Instructors4.0 -

Data Science Carrer Track
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:

• Weekly mentor calls and development of mentor relationship
• Networking requirements within the curriculum and career coaching, support, and preparation

Learn the tools and get great career support
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.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

UX/UI Design
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.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Ml Engineer track
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.Overall1.0Curriculum3.0Job support1.0Instructors3.0 -

Hands on learning experience, I've become a much better designer with a portfolio I am confident about post-completion
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.Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job support4.0Instructors4.0
