    It is worth it

    The course is well-structured, the support one gets during the course is immense and diverse ranging from 1:1 mentor calls(on-demand calls to mentors for help), office hours,  a slack channel, career coaching,  weekly calls with one's assigned mentor, technical support, advising and everything in between. My schedule didn't allow me to join the weekly office hours in real time but I could always go back and watch the videos, I could schedule appointments to speak to an on-demand mentor a...

    UX/UI Career Track

    As many others, I was so anxious and hesitant to change my career amidst a pandemic. Springboard made this decision one of the best I've ever made. The mentor and community support is the reason I went with Springboard over others. You feel supported every step of the way. The cirriculum  is very in depth - you really get what you put into it. I'm finishing this bootcamp with a new set of skills and the confidence to apply them to a new career.

    Springboard Machine Learning Engineer Career Track

    I just finished the Machine Learning Engineer Career Track with Springboard and what a journey it has been. I can't imagine having learned all this without this guidance and without my mentor. In fact I am sure I never would have. I would have putzed around in this corner and that corner of the internet and never really mastered anything.  But I DID take the course and I am amazed at what I have accomplished.  The absolute best part of the program was the mentor experience.

    Wow, that was worth it!

    Just finished my UX/UI design course with SB. So grateful for the experience, the connections, the growth. I had zero design experience and I was tired of working “gig” jobs- I feel so confident about how different my job prospects are now. Before finishing, I found an unpaid design internship thanks to the work we did to make myself marketable on LinkedIn, I have a huge network of design colleagues from the program, other bootcamp students and informational interviews - thanks to the ca...

    Great Opportunity for Job Transiton

    Pros:
    Transitioning into a new industry of UI/UX Design, this program had a great set up for beginners such as me. I didn't know I could learn so fast using programs I have never used before.

    UX/UI Design Career Track

    I just completed the curriculum of the UX/UI Design bootcamp. It took me a little over 9 months, but can be done in 6 months or sooner if you plan out our schedule accordingly. I had a mentor who was a leader in the industry and helped me so much grow as a UX Designer and Researcher! 

    I would recommend this course to career changers or recent graduates. There are four big hands-on projects in the career track and you walk away from the course with a finished portfolio. Highly reco...

    Scam

    They obviously don't care about the prep courses. Mentor didn't help much past referring me to learn code for free on other websites. Curriculum is confusing and disorganized. Only had one project that wasn't really linked to anything we learned and barely any exercises or checks for knowledge. Mentor didn't give feedback for project at all kept saying he would email it, kept deferring it to later. Had a medical emergency and no one responded to reschedule our last meeting. Pretty cold. ...

    Hi Mo,

    Thank you for providing this feedback and letting us know about the challenges you faced with the curriculum and your mentor. It's really important to us that every student is paired with a mentor who can provide timely feedback and support as students make their way through the curriculum. It sounds like you may have been paired with a mentor who fell short of these expectations, and we are truly sorry for how this affected your learning experience.

    We take student-mentor relationships very seriously, and any time a student feels they are not getting the support they need from their mentor, student advisors are available to jump in and help. In these cases, we always do our best to mend the relationship, and when that is not possible, we can rematch students with a different mentor who is a better fit to support them. If we had not made it clear to you that you have that advising support, that's on us.

    In addition to mentorship, students have a number of supplemental resources to help with course material and provide feedback on exercises: there are course TA's available on live chat through the Springboard platform, weekly office hours hosted by mentors, as well as a Slack community where students can ask and answer questions from their peers and request feedback on their work from industry experts. The Prep curriculum is designed to provide students with foundational knowledge of Software Engineering (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript), and at the end of the course, students take the Technical Skills Survey (TSS), a comprehensive exam that will help students gauge how much they learned and decide if a career in Software Engineering is right for them.

    Once again, we appreciate you sharing this feedback with us, Mo, and we sincerely apologize if the high standards we set for supporting students were not met for you. If you are open to sharing more about how we could have done better, please feel free to contact advising@springboard.com and schedule a call with us.

    Sincerely,
    Dave Austin

    UX Design

    At first I was a little skeptical and was not too sure if it was worth investing money into a program that I’m not 100% sure about. However, I was able to complete Springboard’s UX Career Track with a mentor by my side who helped guide me along the way. I was able to build a great relationship with my mentor and made new friends as well.
