    "My 8 month experience at Springboard Data Science Career Track"

    The overall experience at Springboard Data Science Career Track is good, especially the curriculum content and the 1:1 mentor directions. The curriculum content difficulty ranges from easy to difficult and it is very good for practice and sharpen your skills, even for me who have already learned python and data science by myself for almost two years. About my mentor, for my questions, he always ask me to try my own ideas and see the result, not just tell me to do this or not do that blab...

    Great Hands On Experience

    Working with Springboard was a very rewarding experience. Throughout my time in the program, I really got a grasp of modern software engineering techniques and all sorts of commonly used programs and languages. The hands-on approach they take to teaching made it super immersive and relatable. I also want to note how beneficial the weekly 1:1 mentor calls were towards my understanding and success.




    What I loved most was how the program gave me the freedom to ...

    Great Career Prep

    Springboard is a great way to transition careers. The mentorship they offer is really helpful as well as the IDP (internship that links you with a real company to get on the job experience). Nice to perform at your own pace - they are generous with extensions and support.

    Great courses

    Springboard is a really good bootcamp. The mentors and career coaches are great. My only complaint is that a lot of the course materials are links to websites that a person could access for free. But the access to industry professionals and career advisors makes up for that.

    Waste of money

    The bootcamp doesn't offer anything that is unique or special. You can learn everything that is taught in the course by spending less than $100 purchasing a full stack web development course from Udemy. In fact, the tutorial videos used in their course is available on Udemy. 

    The mentorship they offer is a joke. My mentor did not know anything about web development. Every time I asked him a question, he directed me to some web page instead of him explaining the topic or discussing...

    Hi Artin, 
    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.
    We understand there are many free resources available for learning web development. Springboard's approach includes selectively curating the most effective materials across various platforms to ensure our students can learn the most relevant concepts efficiently and thoroughly. By organizing these resources and pairing them with structured support, we aim to optimize your learning journey and save you the time you might spend searching for and vetting swaths of materials on your own that might not be useful to landing a web development role.
    We are disheartened to hear about your experience with your mentor. Our mentorship program is designed to provide direct, expert support, and it sounds like we missed the mark in your case. In addition to scheduled mentor sessions, we encourage our students to utilize our on-demand mentorship, TA sessions, and career coaching as needed. 
    The job guarantee program is intended to alleviate some of the stress associated with finding a job in a competitive market. While it's true that market conditions can necessitate adjustments to the job guarantee period, these changes are made with the intent of giving our graduates enough time to find the right opportunity. Regardless of the job guarantee, our commitment remains strong to assist all of our students in landing meaningful entry-level positions in their field of study.
    We would love to hear more about your experience and discuss how we can improve. Your satisfaction and success as a Springboard student are very important to us. Please reach out to our student support team at students@springboard.com so we can address your concerns directly and work together to make things right.
    Warm regards,

    Roger

    Springboard UI/UX Bootcamp Review: Insights and Challenges

    My experience at Springboard's UI/UX bootcamp was a whirlwind adventure that spanned a year. The curriculum packed in a ton of useful information, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to access it even after completing the program. However, navigating through mentorship was a bit of a challenge. I initially struggled with a mentor who wasn't the best fit but was able to switch to a much more supportive one after speaking up to my career advisor. One downside was the absence of AI for UX,...
