Great experience!
I chose Springboard over other ones because of the mentorship aspect.
Pros -
- an easy interface
- they help arrange study groups
- the projects are challenging but manageable
- there is a slack channel to ask questions and share feedback
- weekly meeting with a mentor
Cons
- they are growing so there were so minor hiccups in the assignments but they respond quickly to problems
I just graduated so I don't have a job yet, but the career support has been useful so far.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job support4.0Instructors5.0 -

Springboard was pretty amazing for me. Here's my honest review:
I did a lot of research prior to enrolling. I highly encourage you do the same. There are lots of bootcamps out there, some are much better than others. I can only vouch for Springboard. I was skeptical I won't lie... a shortcut to a career feels like it's too good to be true. It feels like you're cheating or something and people who went to school for this career must have a huge leg up.
I'm sorry, but I disagree. As someone who graduated from a top college university, I disagree with the long-drawn-out typical style of the educational system. What makes you good at something? Doing it, a lot. Hands-on experience. And 1 on 1 feedback. That's exactly what you get with Springboard.
I had an amazing mentor and I hope you do too. We met each week. I started as someone with 0 experience in any design field. Nada. And I feel like a design boss now that I've finished. But look, no bootcamp is going to get you a job or make you a great designer as soon as you're done. It's all about what you put in, and if you put in the work and can work long hours solo while having accountability and feedback each week, this is a great bootcamp for you. I feel very confident going into the job search phase now that my portfolio is done.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Data Analytics Career Track Review
I took Springboard's Data Analytics career track from Dec. 2020 to July 2021. I found the career track to be well structured, with a great overview of the data analytics process from top to bottom. You learn how to apply problem solving frameworks with technical skills, and then tell a story with your data. I took the career track as part of ongoing education at my current job, so I did not utilize the job support function of the program. That being said, the course absolutely helped me achieve my objective of creating a comprehensive mental model of the data analytics process; something I had known in many different parts over my career and the curriculum helped me to assemble into a comprehensive whole. I am confident in my ability to leverage data analytics to solve business problems, and extract value from data. The entire career track is a not-insignificant time commitment, and can definitely be challenging at parts (something I consider a good thing). You have regular mentor meetings which were very helpful to me in staying on track and collaborating on different ideas for the capstone projects. I liked how the curriculum pulled a variety of sources together and focused on practical examples. TLDR; Great investment for your time and money and this bootcamp will provide you the tools to provide value and leverage the power of data as a data analyst. I also think it forms a nice cornerstone for future learning (and continuing to build your own human capital!).Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

Springboard goes above and beyond!
When I started my Springboard class in December 2019, I could rightly have never expected the following year to be what it was, no one could. I began the course because at the time I had more free time and time spent working and chose to use that free time to advance my UX skills so I'd be able to land a job in the field I actually wanted to be in. Then Covid hit and suddenly my work took off, my UX Springboard course quickly fell by the wayside given how busy I was with work. Despite needing much more time than the original 9 months to complete the course Springboard was there at every turn, offering me pauses, freezes, month extensions, etc. They really went above and beyond to help me finish my course so I could maintain my job guarantee. The mentorship program was also incredibly helpful, while mine got off to a rough start with a mentor who missed our very first call, Springboard quickly replaced them with one who would go on to be an invaluable resource for the rest of my time with them.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Beneficial Learning Experience
I had a wonderful experience studying data science through Springboard. Springboard gave me the direction and motivation I needed to begin learning data science within a short time period and at a lower cost compared to obtaining a masters degree. The most useful asset was the weekly calls I had with my mentor and the continued job support post completion. The mock interviews with experts prepared me for real world job interviews and I had a job offer within a month of graduating from Springboard.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -
Jonathan GrantStudent · UI / UX Design Career Track · Graduation year 2021
Great class
Overall this was a great class experience. I really felt supported as a student at Springboard, trusted the staff, and felt that they really are invested in helping get me into the industry. Much of the material is sourced from existing websites, which may be a turn off for some. But I think that is helpful to become familiar with existing websites and tools that can support you in your career journey. The mentorship feature is probably what sets Springboard apart from the remaining bootcamps, and it is a feature that was very helpful. I was matched with a great mentor that helped me improve as I went through the class. I am a recent graduate and therefore I do not know how successful Springboard will be with the job assistance feature, but I am hopeful.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job support3.0Instructors5.0 -

UI/UX design career track
I'm very impressed with the setup and how Springboard manages to deliver large and complex information simply. With every step, I felt supported and stayed motivated to keep on going (I never felt like I'm doing it alone). What I like the most though is how much freedom they give, guiding to succeed, and giving so much space for being creative. UI is very functional, elegant, and engaging. They match you with the mentor and with the Industry Design Project based on your interest and preferences and for me, it was a very accurate match. I honestly liked everything about Springboard, they provided me with all possible tools for success and opened so many doors for my future. Completion of the course is one of my finest accomplishments.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Total scam. The course was alright, but job assistance part is a complete scam. I am a Construction major and joined Springboard to switch career paths. I completed the course and the projects on time, but had no assistance with job search. 6 months passed and Springboard wouldn't even issue a refund. DO NOT BELIEVE all the reviews here. The students are forced to post reviews to receive course completion. Everything provided by Springboard is available online and for free.

Very Informative and helpful to gain skills
I want to start off by stating there will be a ton of work involved in completing the Springboard course. However those who are serious about learning, understanding, and then practicing UX/ UI design methods will be super thankful for all of the reading material and assignments. I feel very confident in the set of skills I learned that I can apply to my future jobs. On top of that, everyone is SO NICE and helpful. Any hiccup I had, someone from Springboard was there to help me and fix any issues at hand. Even though most of the work is remote, I felt very supported. And the best part had to be my mentor. They start off like a teacher, but end of becoming a great peer to have within the UX world. I am truly grateful for the connections made thanks to Springboard.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

PROS: for me, the key was introduction and use of new tools/skills in SQL, data visualization tools like Tableau and Power BI and python. These were used with helpful case examples.

Worth it, but some issues
Overall a good experience and worth it. If you're looking to change careers, I definitely recommend it. There are some issues to be aware of, however.
If you have some coding experience coming in, there's currently no way to skip parts of the course you already know.
The curriculum relies heavily on Datacamp classes and videos. There are long stretches of the curriculum where all you're doing is watching videos of talks, lectures, etc. If this is not a good learning style for you, definitely consider something else.
The capstone projects are great, but the learning curve is a bit steep between the first one, which is fully guided, and the second one, which is fully independent. In general you have to be a very self-motivated person to succeed with this curriculum.
The biggest draws of this program are the mentoring and the job guarantee. Meeting with a mentor every week is really fantastic, even if you don't need any help that given week it still helps to stay on track. And with the job guarantee, I feel confident that I will either get my money's worth out of this program, or get my money back.Overall3.0Curriculum3.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0
