    Valuable career coaching and mentorship mixed with curated curriculum

    I feel like Springboard could really benefit from giving its students in the UI/UX Design Career Track a whack at using aspects of Springboard’s online everything as one of their portfolio projects. In other words, there’s room to improve the user experience. I had three different mentors throughout the course, and I’d give two of the three strong positive ratings. I worked with various other mentors and several different career coaches, and found them all to be knowledgeable, helpful, a...

    UX Career Track

    Springboard was very helpful in getting me up to speed in the UX Design industry. While some of the curriculum's material is a couple of years old, the core learning skills were still relevant to finding a job as a designer. What I enjoyed most about this program was being able to meet weekly with a professional mentor so they could keep me accountable. It's a lot easier to learn online when you have someone with you on your journey. I will admit, the cost is a little steep and you can f...

    UX UI Design course

    Springboard has been an amazing life changing experience for me. I have no only embarked upon new skills but also developed my personality on an overall basis. From learning to designing apps and web pages , to learning to how to talk and conduct oneself.  Springboard also provides mentor support and coach supports as well as student advisory support at every step. Ever so grateful and happy with this course and highly recommend this to everyone.

    Data Science Bootcamp

    It is a great platform to be introduced to and learn the fundamentals of data science

    Pros:
    The 1 to 1 Mentorship
    the 3 projects you get out of it are great for resume and github
    flexibility and mentorships

    Cons:
    The cost. Most material can be found for a cheaper price tag on Data Camp. You pay more for the mentorship than anything. if learning material is your goal, there are cheaper options out there.

    Data Analytics Career track

    My Springboard experience was great. Unfortunately, it took me longer than expected to complete the course because my job responsibilities changed. I also had to change mentors during the process. However, my mentor was great and provided consistent structure and valuable feedback that allowed me to complete the course in a timely manner. I am a tactile learner and was a true beginner to most of the SQL and Python material, so I do wish there was more time built in to get more practice. ...

    Great Experience!

    Prior to starting my course at Springboard, I was in the live events business. I was unsure of how to go about switching to a new field. I found Springboard in June and saw great reviews plus a job guarantee, so I decided to give it a shot. I was super impressed right off the bat with how well structured the course was. They start you off simple with foundations to use throughout the course, before going into the more technical stuff. The career search units were extremely helpful as wel...

    Data Analytics Career Track

    I had a great experience with the Springboard Data Analytics Career Track. I worked full-time while completing the program and really appreciated how flexible and asynchronous it was. The curriculum is jam-packed and I personally struggled a bit to complete the program on time, but it's definitely doable! I would recommend this bootcamp to others who like to work at their own pace and on their own time and are comfortable working independently, as it does require a good deal of self-moti...

    UX Design

    I really loved my experience with Springboard. They provided really supportive resources and mentors. I learned so much about UX Design and I finished the courses as a confident designer. I have a strong portfolio, resume and cover letter.  I love that they help with negotiating your salary as well. It was nice talking to recruiters and getting valuable information about the interview process and what to expect.

    Data Analytics Career Track is Solid

    Even though I had difficulty with finishing the course on time, Springboard’s Data Analytics Career Track program is filled with useful information for those looking to find a career in data. I went from knowing nothing to having some skills in Python, SQL, Tableau, and others. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has time on their hands and is looking to be challenged with learning a completely new field. This course is beginner friendly if you put in the effort, and the ment...

    Great mentor and advisor experience

    Prior to enrollment, I favored Springboard because they seemed to offer the best bang for the buck -- their syllabus covered as much or more than other bootcamps and also promised to help with career strategies (interviewing, prepping, algorithms, etc). Having just completed their 9 month Software Engineering track, I am glad I went with them.

    Be forewarned, this track covers a lot of material! As with anything tech related, you'll likely find the material covered for free elsewhe...
