It gave me the tools and foundation to transition into UX/UI design. The pros: one on one mentorship via weekly calls, student community to bounce ideas off of and seek additional help, peer support,
and access to virtual workshops. There is also the IDP which gives you the opportunity to work on a real life scenario for a company and allows you to gain real life experience. There is also a career curriculum that it is pretty thorough in terms of getting you ready for the job market. If I had to choose a con it would be that I would have liked a little more hand holding while learning Figma.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

I did not have any background in programming with zero knowledge of SQL and Python. I was expecting a lot of difficulties; however, it is easy to follow and understand. The structure of the program is impressive and provides plenty of resources and frames their learning curriculum in a way where the knowledge stacks and is applicable for the next phase. The course is designed for self-paced learning, and it offers an easy-to-understand teaching approach. The team at Springboard is always there to assist you. In addition to the Slack Channel and weekly office hours, the other important aspects of this bootcamp are personal mentors, career coaches, and technical interview coaches. Overall, I had a great time during the bootcamp and enjoyed the Data Analytics Career Track program. I would recommend Springboard's program to others looking for a new career/updating the skills.

I've never taken an online course before but the curriculum is set up in a modern way to where you consume the information via blogs and videos. Most of the content was made by regular people so it's easy to follow and understand. The course is also intertwined with network training in between the curriculum to keep things new and interesting. Pairing with a mentor and meeting up every week was what sold me. Asking unlimited questions and going through my work by someone who is senior and active in the industry was worth it by itself. Then meeting with career coaches to go over elevator pitches, resumes, portfolio interviews, etc...to go through real life scenarios and give tips and tricks to prepare what to expect in the real world was a plus. Springboard went overboard when pairing with a career coach post graduation and checking up and strategizing every week to see how the job hunting is going. 5 stars!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

The...Throughout my time at Springboard, I was able to learn in detail about UX/UI design by creating my own capstone project from beginning to end, having the opportunity to participate in an Industry Design Project, and completing a design sprint. The reason I enrolled for Springboard was to learn more about the user experience end of UX/UI design, where you research the users before handling the user interface. And Springboard was able to do just that. Before prototyping, I've picked up on UX research skills, such as creating personas, journey mapping and everything handled during a discovery phase of a user-centered design. I think what truly made my experience here at Springboard memorable though was my mentor! Throughout the bootcamp, you meet with your mentor on a weekly basis to discuss goals, objectives, questions, etc. to make sure you're on the right track! Since Springboard is a self-paced course and isn't class based, your mentor adds great value while you're enrolled. I definitely wouldn't have been able to complete the course without the help of my mentor. Overall, Springboard was a great experience-- would recommend if you're highly interested in UX design! :)Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

They offer several time extensions for those that feel they need it or if you want to take a break. The projects really pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me develop skills that I need to find a job. I wish the boot camp included more help on the UI, and in learning to use other design tools beside figma or XD. A lot of designers also use illustrator but if you don’t come form a design field you won’t know how to use these. Also, the time requirement for each project could be more accurate.
