    Good program to be a data scientist

    I took this online bootcamp when deciding to move my career into data science. In general, Springboard provided very helpful materials for me to learn all basic background in data science.
    My mentor is an senior data scientist who worked with me to finish two big capstone project (a practical problem). He has a strong experience in data science. So, I learned a lot of good skills from him.
    I think the best things that springboard can help its students be career services. It has m...

    Got a job after 3 months of enrolling!

    I recently transitioned to digital marketing after a 10 year stint in the oil and gas industry (Story for another day!). After thorough research, I got my first job after 3 months of enrolling at Springboard's Digital Marketing Careers boot-camp . Prior to that time, I'd bought several MOOCs on Digital Marketing , which lacked a structured curriculum. Truth is, there is so much stuff out there on DM, you can easily get overwhelmed. 

    Springboard offered an intense and structured c...

    Intro to Data Science

    I just finished the Intro to Data Science course through Springboard. It was well structured and I really liked working with my mentor and being able to show what I learned through a Capstone Project. I'd have to say the two downsides are that the coding language is in R and Springboard uses Python for the Career Track course - so I don't feel as prepared as I should. Also, the time estimates they put on the assignments were way off for me.

    Great Experience!

    I wasn’t entirely sure if I wanted to go for a career transition and take an online course. But after reading up on Springboard and talking to their team members, I decided to take the plunge and go for it.

    I noticed that curriculum is mostly made up of content that you could find on the web. I found that iffy at the start but then I appreciated how it was presented and how it helps you better digest what’s being taught.

    The Springboard team is really amazing! Their res...

    Springboard Data Science Career Track

    Overall it was a good experience - you will learn to think analytically as well as learn how to write effective and efficient code in Python, SQL, and spark for data science. In addition to the core data science curriculum, you will also learn how to network, ask for and ace interviews, and negotiate salary. Anyone can take free courses online to learn how to code in python, but having everything arranged in a structed environment with a completion deadline really helped motivate me to do ...

    UX course

    I would recommend the UX course from Springboard if you are looking to understand how the UX design process works.

    It has an interesting and basic curriculum with lots of different resources to get you started. However, it's up to you to make the best out of it and to keep researching on your own. I have a background in design but I think if you have no experience at all, it might require that you look for your own resources to learn the very basics.

    A terrific, motivating course that gives you all of the tools to succeed. I loved my mentor, speaking with him weekly was a crucial element in my education.
