    UX course

    I would recommend the UX course from Springboard if you are looking to understand how the UX design process works.

    It has an interesting and basic curriculum with lots of different resources to get you started. However, it's up to you to make the best out of it and to keep researching on your own. I have a background in design but I think if you have no experience at all, it might require that you look for your own resources to learn the very basics.

    Springboard Data Science Bootcamp

    A terrific, motivating course that gives you all of the tools to succeed. I loved my mentor, speaking with him weekly was a crucial element in my education. He brought thoughtful analysis to my coursework, gave good advise in the job search setting, and was overall very fun to talk to. The course was extremely indepth and productive!

    Springboard UX Career Track

    Springboard is the perfect place for taking courses, especially if you're needing a course that you can succeed in while working full-time. The flexibility that Springboard offers can be difficult to find in other courses. I was able to work full-time and work on Springboard projects and lessons in the afternoons. The Springboard staff and my course-provided mentor were there for me along every step of the way. Access to a community of fellow classmates provided me with quick feedback, encour...

    A good way to start

    I just finished my UX design course. The UX program was good. The curriculum was a bit dated when I started but now it has been changed. Now it is smart and set up to allow for quick finishes if you're in a hurry or for a methodical immersive learning experience. The students, faculty, and mentors all helped make it a good experience. I would recommend it to anyone looking to change fields or add to their knowledge in this discipline.

    Mentorship Makes the Difference

    Springboard has been a great experience. I had taken the Intro to Data Science before taking the Business Analytics course, so it was a good enough experience to make me a return customer. The BA course was much easier, primarily Excel for data manipulation, small amount of Tableau (but if you have previous experience with Tableau you can utilize it throughout the course), and introductory level SQL , all spread through a handful of interesting case studies. . I would definitely recommend ...

    Data science career track

    I have an environmental engineering background and spent 6 months on the data science career track via springboard hoping to step into the data science career. It's definitely challenging and intense when you have a full time job at the same time. If you do not have the time, energy or persistence, I suggest you get yourself both mentally and physically prepared, if you have a full time job. The course program is good overall, not perfect. But the same goes for all other data science boot cam...

    UX Design

    Springboard curriculum covered all the basic knowledge about UX which is really nice for beginners. I personally really valued my experience with my mentor. I learned a lot of things outside the books, her jounry to become an UX designer, her mistakes and success. I also really like their community as they were very responsive. I am working full time while taking this course so I didn't feel like used that feature the the fullest.

    Wonderful program that really works!

    I'd been wanting to learn data science for years, and finally managed to do so thanks to Springboard. In a past life, I was both a web analyst for an e-tailer and a management consultant with a top firm, and had always wanted to get more sophisticated in my modelling work. I was also very keen to hone my skills in machine learning, and be able to build great predictive models. Fast forward a few months with Springboard and I've achieved all of these objectives. The mentorship was stellar, ...

    Practical, flexible educational experience

    Springboard helped me ultimately transition from a career in academia to one where I applied my knowledge of research and the scientific method to industry problems in data science. My weekly mentor calls helped me contextualize my online training (which I could do completely on my own, about 10-12 hours each week on my own time) and also helped me understand how best to market my projects to appeal when I applied for jobs. While some can afford to quit their jobs and attend trainings like...

    Springboard's UX Design course

    Springboard's UX Design course provides a quick start to finish option to go through a structured UX project and the experience of taking a project through all the stages of research and design. The payment option of a monthly subscription helps keep the cost low and the support staff was very helpful and quick to respond whenever I had to reach out to them.
