    The most valuable part of Springboard is the weekly mentoring sessions. I learned the most from my mentor and got individualized feedback. Springboard will also accommodate your mentor requests. I was originally assigned a mentor from Portugal, but I wanted a mentor who was local (Bay Area) and Springboard re-matched me accordingly. The career counselors and other mentors have all given insightful feedback. I always came away from mentoring sessions with actionable steps for improvement. 

    I also appreciate how accommodating Springboard is with timeline. It was difficult for me to balance the boot camp alongside my full time job and other commitments, but I worked with my wonderful student advisor to come up with an extended timeline at no additional cost. Springboard also provided mental health services for qualifying students which was also a great perk. 

    The only negative experience I had with Springboard was that you cannot switch out of your assigned Industry Design Program (IDP) project. I wanted to switch projects to work with an established company with cross-functional teams as my assigned stakeholder was a freelancer, however, Springboard could not make this accommodation. I let them know why their description of the IDP is misleading as you may not be paired with an established company. 

    Overall, I am very pleased with the program and it was well worth the tuition.

    Glad to choose Springboard for a career change!

    I would definitely recommend Springboard for anyone wanting to learn about UX and UI. I didn’t know anything about design and come from a finance background. This course really made me feel that I’m ready to make a career change Into UX. Very well organised and the staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Feel great after finishing it. Thanks!

    Software Engineering Program

    This was a great program for me to move from near "0" to 100. It is a general soft dev bootcamp but mainly focuses on web development. So if you know you're interested in that (or not sure and just want a general software engineering bootcamp) this is a good one for you! They cover JavaScript, Node, React, Redux(optional), Python Flask, SQL, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, and more. It's self paced though you meet with a mentor each week which helps keep you on a schedule. If you're looking for direct 'live' instruction this isn't it as it's all pre-recorded videos. But the videos (with Colt Steele) are very high quality and easy to learn from, I think it was preferred than a live instructional environment for me. Happy to answer questions: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bryceccdunn/.

    I joined the Software Carrer track. The topics covered and the technologies learned are all real-world relevant. The lectures are easy to understand. And the projects are a lot of fun with lots of practice. And the great thing is weekly Mentor and On-demand Mentor support. If you get stuck on some problems you will get the best response and support from the Mentor as well as from the TA's. The career coach support is great.

    An in depth 9 month UI/UX boot camp covering 3 projects and an IDP to give real world experience to students. I found the mentor program to be extremely helpful in guiding my learning experience as well as gaining insight into how the industry works. Would definitely recommend Springboard to a friend looking to get into the UI/UX field.

    Data Analytics Career Track

    Springboard provides a thorough curriculum for data analysis and covers a lot of the fundamentals of project design and framework, statistics, economics and presentation types. The case studies help put everything into context but it is on you to really utilize your mentor when you have questions or want to approach the problem in a different method. I'm a PhD economist with a lot of experience across roles/industries. I knew that I needed Python skills and a higher level of SQL knowledge/experience to compete in the job market for the positions I want to have. Springboard helped me level up on that side of the playing field. My student advisors went above and beyond to help me complete the course through health issues and then a semester of teaching 5 university economics courses. The value of the resources was so impressive, coaches and office hours provided so much more than I expected.

    Amazing experience!

    As someone who had no technical skills coming into the course, Springboard made learning easy and motivating. The curriculum was designed in a way to actively teach relevant technical skills and reinforce knowledge through projects. My mentor was amazing and helped me dive deeper into my learning by providing me industry level perspective and knowledge. My career coach helped me gain confidence and navigate the job market. The student support was very responsive to any questions or requests I had during the course. And, there was even 1:1 on demand mentor calls for when I was stuck on a project mid-week and wanted help before my weekly mentor call. Because of all the support and well-designed curriculum I was able to get a great job offer quickly despite having no work experience or previous technical knowledge! I am confident that the technical skills and statistical knowledge obtained in this course will set me up for success in my Data Science career. I highly recommend the course for anyone who is considering switching into Data Science!

    The springboard curriculum was well-rounded and allowed me to become familiar with many aspects of data analytics as well as with a variety of programs that will be useful on the job. The mentor calls are helpful in keeping you pointed in the right direction. Springboard also provided a lot of career support which would be beneficial to anyone looking for a new job or promotion... However, I did not take advantage of this aspect of the course as I was not looking for a new job and had already advanced my position.

    UI/UX design career track

    Springboard does an excellent job of walking you through the process of becoming certified in your field of choice (I chose UI/UX design). Each session is a buildup of the knowledge you have accumulated up to that point, then that knowledge is applied to the project/prototype that you develop. But don't worry, you have a mentor (a professional working in the field) to guide you through the process which in my case was flawless with Aleya. Another helpful resource is having your completed work reviewed by actual hiring managers. This perk will give you the feedback needed to make improvements or the confidence needed to know that you have made the right decision in your field of choice moving forward. Last but not least, you have the job guarantee option. If you pass the course and start to search for a job, they guarantee with their assistance that you will find a job or the course is free. I repeat free. You can't beat that. Applying to Springboard is one of the best decisions I could have ever made for my career. I would definitely encourage those interested in advancing their career to give it a shot. You won't be disappointed.

    Great Program!

    I had an overall very positive experience with Springboard! Here are a few pros/cons:

    PROS
    1. I LOVED the mentor I was matched with. He was empathetic, generous, thoughtful, and had expert industry knowledge. His support was unmatched.
    2. The opportunities to find support are amazing. Advisors are there to help you along your journey and assist in any issues you may be having, career coaching during and after the program, extra mentorship is available, there's a great support network amongst other students, office hours, and opportunities to sign up for workshops.
    3. The content of what I learned was organized and helped me understand and practice UX concepts efficiently.
    4. I enjoyed the projects I worked on.

    CONS
    1. Some of the information could be repetitive, and it made it hard to time-box and prioritize importance.
    2. The time-boxing provided by the school does not always meet the need of students who are also working full time, have family commitments, or have other time-intensive situations.
    3. I would have liked to work on my portfolio earlier on in the program, instead of at the end. I think that would have been valuable. I could have easily added projects as I went along, instead of all at once, and been applying for jobs earlier.

    Overall, it was a great experience and I'm glad to have learned a new skill.

    Good practice course

    Springboard was a great starting point for me when I was just starting to learn about the UX industry. I was interning within my company for the product design team, and I wanted the technical skills/other background information to be better prepared for a future position. The online course is self-paced so if you're not motivated to push through the work on your own, this part might be difficult. You get weekly mentor calls which helped keep me accountable.

    The cost of the course has gone up quite a bit since I enrolled (back in 2020) but I felt a lot more prepared to apply for jobs afterwards, and having a knowledgeable mentor helped me get real world expertise. The course is a well curated compilation of articles/videos, but the UI exercises were a little harder for me to connect with. Capstone 1 dragged on as well (due to needing to learn ALL the skills necessary) so you lose a little motivation, but once you finish that, the rest of the projects go by quick! I really do believe the mentorship was the most valuable part of the course.

    Jumpstarted me in the right direction

    After researching all the different bootcamps out there (and trust me, there's a lot!), I decided to go with Springboard because of the overall great reviews and the best features: self-paced flexibility and one-on-one mentor support. I felt like everyone who I interacted with on the Springboard team was really helpful and truly wanted me to succeed--that's a great feeling.
    The course material was very well put together. Mostly curated articles and videos for you to read, but it was great to have that direction so that I could further supplement what I had learned with other youtube videos or articles.
    You get 2 capstone projects, 1 design sprint, and an IDP which is a real world project. Going through the course, I was really looking forward to the IDP since my first 3 projects were amazing. However, I personally didn't have a great experience with my IDP host which is a shame because the IDP is supposed to be your most comprehensive project. I think Springboard could improve on vetting potential companies/hosts for their IDP. I did bring this issue up to Springboard and they tried to make it right by giving me a recommendation letter which I appreciated, but it doesn't really change the fact that my IDP experience wasn't the greatest.
    However, what really made Springboard an overall great experience was the support I was given along the way. The one-on-one mentorship you receive is priceless. I really appreciate the overwhelming amount of  advice and support I was given by my designated mentor.
    Overall, I would recommend Springboard! I just hope you have a better experience than me during the IDP :)

    The most supportive experience

    When I initially picked Springboard, I chose their UX/UI program because it seemed the most in-depth and provided an internship as part of their curriculum. I also really liked the idea of working with a mentor and having someone with experience be my guide. What I didn't expect is just how supportive the entire Springboard team & community truly are. My student advisor, Marco, was such a blessing as I struggled to keep up with all my competing priorities. He made me feel like no matter what happened, Springboard had my back. The support staff are incredibly responsive, Oscar @ office hours is a gift, as is everyone else I've had to interact with because of Springboard. I've just started working with my career coach and I already feel ten times better about my job search. I'm so grateful I chose Springboard and encourage anyone who is looking for a supportive environment to do so.

    Get a J-O-B

    Springboard is amazing at doing what it claims to do. It helps people get jobs in technical fields.

    The technical skills development is good. Instructional videos with Colt Steel, I mean what else do you need to know. I am sure a lot of others are good as well, so I won’t say they are the best. But Springboard really sets itself apart from the pack in two ways:

    1) Mentoring/Advising
    There are on-call assistants who can help you debug assignments. They can be accessed at the drop of a hat during pretty wide ranging available hours.
    You are also assigned a Mentor who you have a 1-1 30 minute weekly session with. They are working professionals giving you advice as a side gig. So not only can they help you with any technical questions, they can also offer insight into life working in the field you are pursuing.
    You can also request a handful of additional 30 minute 1-1 sessions throughout the course.

    2) Career Coaching
    While this is really an extension of mentoring advising, it gets its own separate bullet because it is actually a part of your curriculum. From the earliest part of the course you have scheduled career development assignments. This ensures that your preparedness for seeking a job, getting/doing interviews, and landing a first tech job progresses on a track that coincides with your technical skills development.

    The only possible con would be if you weren’t looking for a job. If that is the case then the price is a bit steep for the technical skill development alone. But they intentionally market themselves to job seekers. And the straightforward culture of their advisors means they would probably mention this to you if this were your situation.

    UX/UI Design Career Track

    This program was easy to follow and very informative. I have been a visual designer but jumping into user experience design I needed to adjust my approach. They walk you through a big project slowly first then pick up the pace for the second project. This was helpful because it caused you to rely on your new knowledge. I enjoyed all the projects and the mentor program was very helpful, both on the technical side and the career side. I felt very supported throughout the program. There was also a little gamification within the curriculum that kept me motivated. They give you a goal in points for each week and every assignment has a point value. Reach the goal and you're on track! I loved that.
