    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...

    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.

    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...

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 ...
