    Wonderful Online bootcamp

    Overall, I had a great experience with Springboard career track program.  The Springboard staff (student advisor, mentor, and career coaches) was very supportive.The program is fast-paced with detailed course material.  There were times when mini-projects took longer to complete than expected.

    Absolutely transformative! Springboard's UX/UI Design Bootcamp provided me with top-notch mentorship, hands-on projects, and invaluable career support. From theory to real-world application, this program exceeded my expectations. Grateful for the skills gained and the doors it's opened in the design world. Highly recommend!

    Data analytics bootcamp review

    Course was good in prepping for career in analytics with good beginning  knowledge of sql and python. Also covered tableau and powerBI for data visualization. The intro materials were very basic and not needed if already have a business degree. Overall recommend this course for mentor support- you’re able to build a good relationship with someone who has amazing experience in analytics!

    Springboard Cybersecurity Program

    This school provides plenty of resources and frames their learning curriculum in a way where the knowledge stacks and is applicable for the next phase. The most impactful portion of this bootcamp are the provided VM labs, personal mentors, career coaches, and technical interview coaches. 

    There are some parts of the course where it feels too fast paced, but that's when you can reach out to your mentor to explain further in detail.

    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. ...

    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 ...

    Challenging, rewarding, fulfilling

    I had a great time in the springboard program.  I came into it being a self-taught programmer that wanted a stronger foundation for my skills and a certification to open up career opportunities.  Springboard's software engineering  career track gave me projects and lessons that really taught me the fundamentals of software engineering pretty comprehensively.   The projects all built upon the lessons that came before, so while they were really challenging and great for my portfolio, I was...

    Great curriculum

    I found the Springboard curriculum to be well organized and its self paced too. I could easily manage study time in between my work days. Student support, career support, weekly mentor calls, office hours, on-demand 1:1 mentor calls have been great. Course materials, Capstone projects and Industry Design Project let me prepare for my career in UI/UX Design.

    Good but can be better

    Good: I had UX UI Design knowledge from reading books and watching Youtube videos but I was still confused, not knowing how to fit the puzzle. After joining Springboard and following the curriculum, a light bulb lit and the puzzle was complete in 1 year for me, for others it was 6months and to some it was 9months depending on your speed - the course is self-paced. This makes me happy. Bad: It was not made clear to me that "Job Guarantee" does not mean y...
