    Great UX Design course

    When I first saw the ad for Springboard on my facebook feed I was a little suspicious about the "Become a UX Designer in 8 weeks", I admit it sounded appealing, I clicked on it and learned more about the curriculum. I liked how the class was programmed I realized how beneficial it would be for me and my career. I have been looking for a course like this for a while and I have to admit it was the right choice. My mentor was very critical to my progress and without her I don't think I would ...

    UX Design Course

    Springboard provided 1-on-1 mentorship and a great curriculum to follow. One of the nicest perks of an online course is that you can pace yourself and don't feel the need to follow the set schedule. They do tell you the average time is about 3 months to get thorugh the entire course, but you can spend as long as you need.

    Great Introduction Program

    The mentorship and guidance really helped seperate this course from others. I was able to bounce ideas off of a professional and learn from him.

    Great Community, Mentorship, and Curated Coursework

    Most of what I have learned about Data Science, I have learned online through free MOOC's. I enjoy this method of learning because I can really learn at my own pace, and I believe it nurtures free-thinking and problem solving in a way that more structured environments (i.e. univeristy) do not. After about a month of working through Springboard's Data Science Intensive course, I really like their unique learning environment. The coursework is curated from a pretty large variatey of websites...

    Great Mentorship, Decent Curriculum

    The curriculum is a bunch of curated resources from various web sites (Udacity, Lynda, and other web sources). They also do provide articles and suggested books. While I found the videos helpful, the suggested books hold the key information. Also just a note a lot of the resources you will want have short trials and you will end up having to pay for. I found Sketch, Flinto, and UXPin to be the most helpful for completing the projects. 

    The projects all build a good porfolio to br...

    Engaging and Difficult

    The UI/UX course was extremely engaging and properly difficult without making me want to give up. It was fun to learn all the new skills and new ways to apply general knowledge I had before this course. My mentor was very knowledgeable and not afraid to give me critiques when I needed it, which I always appreciated.

    Comprehensive Review of the Springboard UX/UI Course

    Great program worth it

    This was a course that is built for the success of their students in mind. It’s comprehensive and does a great job introducing the world of data analytics from the beginning. I did enjoy that it even dived into mindset and how to think business-like.

    Great Curriculum

    This software engineering course was an incredible journey into the heart of web development. Covering HTML, CSS, and JavaScript provided a solid foundation, but my real highlights were diving into React for front-end magic and mastering Flask for server-side scripting. The course's emphasis on hands-on learning made it a fun experience. My mentors were knowledgeable, and the curriculum felt hard enough to know you are learning but not impossible to do if you set yourself to it.

    Springboard Cybersecurity Program

    My experience with Springboard has been great! I started my cyber course back in April and finished in December. It prepared me well for the IT industry and hands on training for the CompTIA Sec+ exam as well. I would recommend this course for anyone wanting to pursue a cybersecurity career!

    Good but could be better

    The curriculum is well done, and the Capstones allow for the student to really explore and get used to creating a data science project. I had a good mentor who was able to help me with the technical work and some of the logistics. The lack of required group work makes the course feel isolating and its hard to get a sense of how good you are relative to people in the same position since the only point of contact is a mentor who is established in the field.

    Good experience, not a magic switch

    Mentors and career coaches are great resources, but you will largely be teaching yourself the hard skills. I definitely feel very confident in my abilities, but finding work in the field can be very difficult even with this certificate.
