    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...

    Efficient, resourceful, and live-changing

    I loved my experience with Springboard. It helped me pivot my career and land me a job in UX within one month of graduating the course. I was working full-time while completing the course and it took me one year in total. My mentor Mirela was incredible, always boosted my confidence and imposter syndrome, and my many career coaches along the way were so helpful in teaching me strategies to interview, negotiate for a higher pay, and were overall just very affirming and resourceful. I will...

    Positive Experience

    I overall enjoyed the Data Analytics Career Track program. I chose Springboard because of the 1:1 mentorship and job guarantee when I was looking to pivot my career. I found the Slack Channel and weekly office hours very helpful if I was having trouble completing a section of the curriculum. I learned the key skills needed to become a data analyst and was happy that I was able to work on projects utilizing the tools that are used regularly in the industry. I would recommend Springboard's p...

    Challenging and comprehensive SWE curriculum

    I was looking for a bootcamp where I could learn JavaScript, Node, Python and React on a flexible and independent schedule and also have guidance and mentorship. The Springboard Career Track checked all those boxes and I am glad that I picked Springboard to study software engineering. I like Colt Steele's teaching style and the projects and assignments were super helpful in understanding the concepts and practicing the skills learnt. The curriculum is challenging but the TAs and my mento...

    A flexible and supportive program

    I recently completed Springboard's Software Engineering Career Track and it was a fantastic experience. What I loved most about it was the flexibility it offered. I could work on the coursework on my own time. The program provided a lot of resources, like videos and exercises, to help me learn new technologies. I also had weekly coaching calls with an experienced engineer, who gave me valuable guidance and support. The four portfolio projects were a unique feature and helped me create a ...

Moreover, In Springboard they know that you need to have some practical experience apart from the theoretical background you gain through different readings, videos, and books. The practical training you receive is invaluable: The projects and case studies make you see that Data Science is not only about coding and creating models to analyze data. Yoy have t...

    I successfully changed my career, and so can you.

    I want to start off by saying that Springboard helped me make what was a dream into a reality. I previously worked in a completely different industry (aviation), but I knew I wanted to do something more creative and make more money. So after extensive research, I decided to go with Springboard for various reasons:
    1. They offer mentorship with a designer in the field, and you will meet with them weekly.
    2. They offer a job guarantee depending on where you live.
    3. ...

    Effective and Informative

    I had a really good experience with Springboard. I spent about 9 months in the UX/UI Design program and learned an array of topics from foundations to working on a capstone project for an overseas client. The staff was super friendly and cooperative. My mentor was probably the best part of the bootcamp. I really connected with her and learned a lot from her processes. I also want to mention this bootcamp offers a career coach after graduation, and I was so glad to come across an amazing ...

    You determine the value

    The course structure is good and gives a holistic view of what is included in UX/UI work, for those willing to dedicate the time there is good value here. The most valuable aspects, in my opinion, depends heavily upon the mentor and career coaches you are assigned. 
    You can do all of the work and learn many of the steps of the UX/UI design process, but in the end you (like myself) are probably considering enrollment to land an actual paying role in the field. You will most likely come...

    Data Science curriculum review

    I did this course and had amazing mentors. They encouraged me so much. It felt like I was made for data science while doing the course and projects. The curriculum is amazing too. It has assisted and guided exercises and independent projects. You never know when you have started doing real data science while learning. good starting point. I recommend it.
