    UX Design Course

    I did this program in under a month - to save on the tuition. I was between jobs so i had the time and the outcome was good. The flow, the course - it all made sense. And, in the end, with the capstone project all assembled, it was has been a great tool/resource for discussions in the interview process for UX design hobs.

    Good curriculum & staff, need to down some own work as with many bootcamps

    I started the Data Science Career Track bootcamp in April 2018, completed Aug 2018. 

    BACKGROUND: Graduated with a master's in one of the biosciences, few months prior to bootcamp. Due to my work, already had background in data analysis, stats, and programming in another language besides Python. Some Python tutorials were sufficient for applying to this bootcamp. 

    CURRICULUM:  Covers required basics, esp for data science interviews. Mostly based on pre-existing materials...

    Bang for your buck!

    My time as a student at Springboard has been nothing but AMAZING. I was paired with an awesome mentor that really pushed me to excel in my studies and building my portfolio. Without my mentor, I wouldn't be in the position I am today, ready with confidence in tackling my UX job interviews with confidence. I now have an awesome portfolio in which he let me know the rights and wrongs in building one. For what I got out of Springboard, it is definitely worth every penny compared to othe...

    Top Notch Online Course

    I took Springboard's UX Design course. I have to say that the weekly 1 on 1 mentoring calls is what made Springboard better than any other course out there. Not only you get an accountability partner, which is really critical to complete a course (Most MOOCs students failed to finish a course), but you'll also be getting industry professional insights. 

    I was paired up with a mentor that works in a top Silicon Valley company. I can't be happier to learn from her experience and indu...

    Springboard Data Science Career Track

    This course really built my confidence in preparing me for a Data Science career through extensive Python training and working through multiple projects. I felt like the program extensively approached the fundamentals while providing support and resources to engage with both the material and employment process. I felt like they truly cared about my development. My only hope for the program was that there would be more practice using Spark and SQL seeing as those are becoming absolute funda...

    Awesome UX Design Program!

    As I was thinking about making a career change to tech, there were so many different paths and fields to take. Springboard was a fantastic help because they have some good, free resources on their site that detailed what these different paths and fields really do! After some more research, I decided to enroll in their UX Design course. Every single bit of it was project based, hands-on experience. They also paired me with an amazing mentor who is a professional in UX Design. We would have ...

    Awesome course for Data Science

    What I like most about the course is that systematic introduction to every aspect of data science, excellent mentors ( I like my mentor a lot, he's very very knowledgeable and resourceful and taught me a lot), very helpful and encouraging career mentors, and very practical and interesting exercises to help you apply what you've learnt in theory. IT WAS INTENSE. As a full-time Ph.D. student working on transitioning to this field, I've got lots of school work to do. But luckily I had the fle...

    STILL HAVE NOT FOUND A JOB!

    This UX course was a great intro, however, I completed the course in June 2017 and STILL HAVE NOT FOUND A JOB!

    Don't be fooled that you will be "entry-level" ready. While you may have done a stellar job with the course, no one will hire you without experience.

    UX Honest Review

    Dear Sirs,

      I'm writing an honest review of the UX Design Course at Springboard.   Essentially the course is a bunch of links readily available on the internet. I was surprised when I found out that all resources are online links that I can already find myself. And they are charged at a staggering price of $499 per month! which is nearly $4000 HKD. I can seriously tell you that it is NOT worth the price. Waste of money. I ...

    Hi there,
     
    I'm sorry to be reading how disappointed you
    are! At Springboard, we really care about our students’ learning experience. 
     
    Yes, you’re right in that our UX Design course is curated. Today, there is a lot of information available. At the same time, we know how challenging it can be to find the best, up-to-date materials. That’s why we’ve worked with industry-experts to gather quality information and create a curriculum that guides students through the evergreen process of UX Design. We hope that students can confidently trust what they are learning with us.
     
    The mentor relationship is one of our favorite parts of the offering. We know relationships are a major key to success. We take this component very seriously. In fact, each student is personally matched to a mentor when s/he starts the course. We take special care to account for the skills each individual wants to learn. Any student who has mentor concerns is more than welcome to reach out to her/his student advisor.
     
    With all this said, I know you are disappointed. I invite you to reach out to your student advisor. We’ve got a whole family of Springboarders dedicated to help students reach their goals.

    Definitely a worthwhile investment!

    I'm a healthcare researcher hoping to pivot to UX design and research. The UX course such a wonderful way to begin the transition. You can develop a solid foundation in UX design concepts and get constant feedback from your designated mentor. It has been such an eye-opening experience. The best way to learn about the job you want is to talk to and learn from the people who hold those positions. This is what Springboard strives to do. It is geared towards opening up pathways for peopl...

    A new bar for online learning

    Springboard really impressed me. They put together a great curriculum, and you get weekly 1 on 1 time with your mentor (video). Everything is handled through their slick website which makes it very easy to keep track of everything. 

    You are more or less subscribing to this service for a monthly fee until you complete the course in which you can always come back and reference the material. This really helps motivate you to keep on task. They are also very flexible allowing you to ...
