Also, the capstone projects are an excellent way at showcasing your skill set while solidifying all the lessons you have learned.

Good Curriculum
The course provided valuable projects and insightful career guidance, but to truly internalize the knowledge, you've got to take the initiative. Going that extra mile is key, especially considering the limited mentorship and instruction compared to a traditional academic setup.

great place to learn
I recently completed Springboard's Data Analytics Career Track bootcamp, and I can confidently say that it has been an incredibly rewarding journey. From the outset, the program impressed me with its structured curriculum and hands-on approach to learning.
One of the standout aspects of the bootcamp was the quality of the content and the dedicated instructors. The course material was well-structured and up-to-date, providing a comprehensive understanding of data analytics concepts and tools. Moreover, the mentorship and support I received from my mentor were exceptional. Eduardo Ponce provided valuable insights, answered my questions, and guided me throughout the program. His expertise and encouragement were instrumental in my learning journey.
The real-world projects and capstone project allowed me to apply what I learned in a practical setting. These projects not only enhanced my skills but also provided a portfolio to showcase to potential employers.
Additionally, the career services team was instrumental in preparing me for the job market. They offered valuable insights into job searching, interview techniques, and resume building. The mock interviews and feedback sessions were particularly helpful

Great Experience with Springboard
After considering a career change for some time, I took the jump and invested in Springboard's UI/UX Design Career track. I chose to enroll in a bootcamp because I kept trying to teach myself principles of UX/UI, but with my intense work hours, it often fell to the wayside. I am grateful for my education through Springboard because the structure and accountability ensured that I was able to completed all of the projects, including the course itself. I was paired with a mentor who was encouraging and offered amazing constructive criticism that bettered my projects, and I was always appreciative of the insight so I could keep that in mind for future design projects. My IDP was also an amazing experience where I got to work as part of a team, with a real company. I am so grateful to have this experience on my resume. I have overused the word "grateful," however I simply cannot find another word for the support I have received while on this journey - and was able to make it work while working about 60+ hours per week!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Excellent Experience with Springboard!
Overall I had a great experience going through the software engineering curriculum with Springboard. Perhaps the most valuable aspect was that I could generally go through the material at my own pace. There were guidelines of how many exercises and projects to complete per week to stay on track, which was helpful. The mentor I was matched up with was awesome. She had over a decade of real world experience and was very helpful. The material in the curriculum felt relevant and the projects were actually quite fun. One minor downside was that the materials I was given were recorded/created in 2019, so quite a few things were outdated and sometimes the sample code needed updated.Overall4.0Curriculum5.0Job support4.0Instructors5.0 -

Great Online Experiece
Overall Springboard was a great experience. I love how you get to go at your own pace and there is so much help available when you need it. You get a certain number of on demand mentor calls and I didn't even use half of them because there was so much support available in the springboard community. They teach you primarily web development. Its very hands on so you'll be building a lot from scratch. Personally, I also wish there were more topics on theory and data structures/algorithms. Overall, by the end of this course, I have so many more skills to apply in different areas. The career coaches also try their best to help you be the best possible candidate for a job. The mini projects / assignments at the end of every section also make your software engineering portfolio look good.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Accelerated learning
I enrolled in the Springboard Cybersecurity bootcamp. Its a great course for those with either a lot of time or some technical experience. I STRONGLY suggest doing a free months of self study or a free online beginners course such as Udemy or Coursera. This bootcamp is a no joke program and not for the faint of heart. You really do have to set your mind and schedule to invest 20-25 hours a week. I really enjoyed the labs and the projects which gave you real scenarios to deal with. You get what you put in. I wasn't a fan of the LinkedIn Learning as its a lot to take in for a short period of time but if you know going in that's it's going to take real dedication anything is possible. Just do some research and self study first.Overall3.0Curriculum4.0Job supportN/AInstructors3.0 -

UX/UI Bootcamp Review - great bootcamp for beginners
I'd recommend Springboard because of its unwavering support throughout my journey.
I had zero experience in UX/UI design when first started, and almost a year later, I feel confident in having learned the fundamentals of great product design. My mentor, Daria, played a huge role in my growth as a designer and gave honest feedback on my portfolio.
They have career coaches that will give you great tips for networking and salary negotiation when it comes time to find a job. I felt fully supported by the Springboard community, and the support center is quick in answering emails (all my emails/questions were answered in less than 24 hours).
Springboard went beyond expectations by providing excellent starting points for design principles. I think the more effort you invest, the greater the rewards. It's an ideal choice for beginners seeking to pivot into the UX/UI design field.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

UX/UI Career Track
I have positive experience taking this course. I just completed it and have not found a job yet, but i have learn a lot. It took me a year to complete the program due to my schedule and personal matters. Springboard is very flexible and allowed me to take some breaks and extend the program so I could finish it.
I had a weekly call with a mentor that Springboard matched for me and she was amazing. She was the big part of me being able to complete the program. I am really grateful for her.
A lot of articles and reading materials were outdated though. But I find their assignments reasonable and helpful.
