Pros:
- Organized, easy-to-follow curriculum with project feedback: Coming from an iOS background, I knew little about web development and only had a vague understanding of databases, servers, and APIs. The curriculum covered a lot of this in depth and... Read More the mini graded projects gave me the opportunity to put into practice what I learned. The projects were also graded with feedback so I knew that they were reviewed by more experienced software engineers.
- Guidance from mentor: My mentor was there with me for the entire journey through the bootcamp. He helped me relate concepts to real-world situations so that I could better grasp how they worked, and he was there to clear up any confusion I had.
- Personalized feedback from career coaches: Having so many professional career coaches review my resume, LinkedIn, and networking strategies gave me confidence that I have all the necessary job search materials to succeed.

Cons
- A little on the expensive side, they do offer flexible payment plans.
- Took 9 months and 800+ intense hours, so it is a commitment. Looking big picture, this is a really short time to learn web development and full stack technologies in depth.

Springboard provided great course work, an engaged mentorship, and had an advising team second to none. The ability to see the progress I was making real-time was important for me. Mentor who was willing to go the extra mile to provide a deep and richer... Read More learning experience.

SpringBoard had a lot to offer on paper, and receives favorable reviews when compared to other online-education options. I had the opportunity, so I took a chance on it.

And then my father died.

I suddenly found my entire world turned upside down with less... Read More time and more responsibilities shortly after starting the SpringBoard boot camp. I just couldn't do it all. I was feeling overwhelmed, crushed, and despairing.

I reached out to their support team to complain about something I just couldn't get to work and received a phone call soon after (it was within 24 hours, if not the same day). The representative could not have been more supportive. They granted me an extra month of time, found me a mentor that would better suit my needs and schedule, and were overall very considerate and positive despite what I had been through.

The pressure was off and I could breathe again.

I had to work hard in order to get through everything on time, but I did it.

The two best things that will always stand out to me are the practical work with a professional mentor and their extraordinary support team. I could probably have gone online elsewhere and found what I needed for a lot less, but the practical experience and having someone to talk to (my mentor, not just the support team) made all the difference in the world!

No, the whole program was not perfect; there were dead reference links, and it was hard to find how to get help sometimes, but it was definitely a great experience over all.

I signed up for Springboard's Data Science program and it was definitely the best career-related decision I've made in many years. I've had an interest in Data Science and AI-related topics for a while, but was never quite sure how I would go about preparing... Read More myself for the field. I had taken some smaller individual courses, which helped, but I felt I need more.

Springboard emerged as the best all-around solution for me. Their bootcamp is compact and dense (suggested 6-7 months), but trainees have the option to proceed at their own pace. The flexibility is invaluable, especially for folks who are working full-time and have other obligations. The curriculum was awesome and one of the strongest reasons for me in choosing this program. It covered so much - Data Science Method, Python programming, Data Visualization, Statistics, Machine Learning and AI, Big Data, etc. It also provided a ton of hands-on experience which really helped to build confidence in the material. All along the way, I was helped by the Springboard staff who were simply amazing! From my first call (an assessment of my suitability for the program) to my invaluable weekly mentor calls, career coaching calls, to my course completion emails and discussion, they have always been knowledgeable, super positive and done all they can to support my progress. I cannot recommend Springboard enough!

This program was great and taught me a lot. There was always support throughout the program. I loved the mentor that I was matched with. Springboard really have support that will push you to your limits and see the potential in you to aim for the best.... Read More Best decision I ever made.
