    Data science career track

    Waste of time and money. They are attracting people with job guarantee tag. But, it has lot of conditions. There is no proper curriculum. Course material is not own. It has just links from various websites. Not much use of mentor and career coach. I learnt lot from free courses than from Springboard. BIG NO NO.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry to hear if you do not feel you got the most value out of your course.

    We do proudly back our programs up with a Job Guarantee, meaning that we are so confident in our program's ability to prepare you for a career in the field, that we guarantee you'll land a job in the field within 6 months of graduating or your tuition money back. To best set students up for a successful career search, we do expect that they will meet certain requirements, which include completing all of the career-readiness units in the curriculum, covering topics such as updating your LinkedIn and resume, networking strategies, writing cover letters, salary negotiation, and a vigorous mock interview process. Students meet with career coaches regularly along the way, both during and after the course, to support them with their job search.

    Our curriculum also consists of the best resources available for both technical subject matter as well as career readiness, as curated by our team of industry experts, career coaches, and instructional designers. Throughout the course, students have access to a number of resources and subject matter experts who can provide support and feedback on exercises: weekly calls with your assigned mentor throughout the entire course, Teaching Assistants, weekly office hours, as well as an online Slack community where students can ask and answer questions with their peers, alumni, and professionals in the field. If you were not aware of any of these resources and how to take advantage of them, that's a miss on our part, and we sincerely apologize.

    We'd love to connect with you to hear more about your experience and learn how we could have done better. If you are open to discussing this with us, please reach out to advising@springboard.com and we'd be happy to schedule a call.

    Sincerely,

    Affordable and job forward

    The ability to work at your own pace was amazing. 
    They give you a ton of help and resources to get you a job. It wasnt just about UX design it was how to get a job in UX. Their career coaches and mock interviews, and resume help was a huge game changer.

    Be aware that the timeline to finish earlier than 9months may be a little off. Some of the projects at the end of the course take longer than I anticipated and pushed my graduation/completion back 1month. So plan extra time at ...

    Springboard; Best Decision Ever

    I just completed my UI/UX Design course and couldn't be happier. The journey was a bit challenging as I was changing my career, but Springboard mentors and advisors' continuous support made it smooth for me. If you are in the same boat as me and want to excel in your career, I advise you to look no further and choose Springboard. Best of luck.

    UI/UX Bootcamp

    9-month remote-only UI/UX Design Bootcamp with job gaurentee. Program provides a well rounded foundation in UX/UI. Curriculum is at times rather broad and goes beyond the scope of a focused Bootcamp (ie building presention skills). Don't underestimate the time commitment to complete. It would probably be hard to do while working FT.

    Data Science bootcamp success

    Pros
    Loved the coach calls and the mentors. They were great. The community always had my back. I love that they didn’t recreate the wheels with content but laid it out nicely. Because it can be hard to navigate. 

    Cons
    I got a data science job 4 months in an had to work on both at the same time. Not a bad problem to have though. Plus the company reached out to me!

    Senior Web Designer

    I found Springboard through an online search of UX immersive boot camps.  Springboard is one of the leading online boot camps, and while it is not the least expensive of the programs, I joined because it is more than just a UX/UI boot camp.  They include in their course curriculum mentors with real UX professionals and career coaches, who not only help you develop the skills to become a UX/UI Designer but they work on all the other aspects needed to get a job; eg. network training, linke...

    Not worth it

    Just know if you need in depth help: customer service is a disconnected set of customer reps and a new person helps you each time. So every time you email them, someone else replies and if it isn't solved in first go, you need to repeat yourself. That will be a bigger deal if you need a whole bootcamp. 

    The mentor was very encouraging and helpful he was definitely my favorite part of this course. Glad to have connected to him because he gave some stellar resources.

    Data Analytics Track

    I started the course at the end of June 2020. The beginning of the course was great (the content in each of the units and the way they were built). But then in the Economics and Financial units, there were some videos we needed to watch, that I felt like were not in the level of what Springboard had so far.
    I think I was mostly frustrated about DataCamp. I did not feel like I've learned too much from it, and needed to find other sources to study from.

    UI/UX Career Track

    I took the UI/UX Career track with springboard. While an intensive program, this course gave me a thorough education and understanding of UX design that I had been seeking. The 1:1 mentorship was the highlight of my experience, since I got to talk face to face with someone that gave me constant support and encouragement. Although an online learning experience, springboard does its best to find ways to still build community. However I do think it would be great if there was more required ...
