    Powerful Curriculum, Amazing Mentors.

    The curriculum is perfect with bite sized videos and challenging (in a good way) assignments that build off each other. My mentor was compassionate and knew just how much to push me for me to see my own potential. Absolutely amazing course. The price is fair for the quality of education and support that is received.

    Good Curriculum

    The course provided valuable projects and insightful career guidance, but to truly internalize the knowledge, you've got to take the initiative. Going that extra mile is key, especially considering the limited mentorship and instruction compared to a traditional academic setup.

    Great Experience with Springboard

    After considering a career change for some time, I took the jump and invested in Springboard's UI/UX Design Career track. I chose to enroll in a bootcamp because I kept trying to teach myself principles of UX/UI, but with my intense work hours, it often fell to the wayside. I am grateful for my education through Springboard because the structure and accountability ensured that I was able to completed all of the projects, including the course itself. I was paired with a mentor who was enc...

    Excellent Experience with Springboard!

    Overall I had a great experience going through the software engineering curriculum with Springboard. Perhaps the most valuable aspect was that I could generally go through the material at my own pace. There were guidelines of how many exercises and projects to complete per week to stay on track, which was helpful. The mentor I was matched up with was awesome. She had over a decade of real world experience and was very helpful. The material in the curriculum felt relevant and the projects...

    Great Online Experiece

    Overall Springboard was a great experience. I love how you get to go at your own pace and there is so much help available when you need it. You get a certain number of on demand mentor calls and I didn't even use half of them because there was so much support available in the springboard community. They teach you primarily web development. Its very hands on so you'll be building a lot from scratch. Personally, I also wish there were more topics on theory and data structures/algorithms. O...
