Springboard

Good program for entry level. I love how flexible it is.

I am so happy that I took Data Science Career Track with Springboard. Curriculum is well structured. My mentor Dipanjan helped very much technically also motivated me throughout the course. Career Counselors helped very much resume preparation and job search

I'm very satisfied with Springboard in every aspect. The lessons are well-made, valuable and useful. My mentor, the team and the support of Springboard were excellent. The things I would have improved, that I would optionally make it possible to lengthen the time of the weekly calls. I would give more attention and time to the career development.
Overall I'm highly satisfied with the course, I would recommend to any of my friends who are interested to learn UX Design.

Pro
User friendly format, Good community, Intelligent Mentors, Well organized material, and decent set up for office hour materials. The monthly fees can be used for the career track of up to $1000 and also they did have the first month free to try when I took it. My mentor Max Sop did an excellent job in being efficient and letting me know what needed to be done and also pushed me to meet the goals we set.
Con
Should be a little more challenging and code driven, though i do understand its an introductory course and needed to cover the basics. Many times you may not find the answer right away even if its an easy solution so learn to use your resources to you advantage this can be hard. Do not waste time if you are stuck, try to keep moving through the material and learn to come back ...

Springboard brings a new edition of a well structured career development to meet current needs of the corporate.

The mentors are career oriented and just on top.

Springboard's course on User Experience (UX) Design profoundly changed my career path. Only three years ago, I was a philosophy major at Vassar College. While I was a tech-enthusiast, I always believed that my non-coding background limited my ability to enter this field once I graduated. However, by sheer luck, I stumbled upon Springboard's online UX course and signed up. At the time, I hardly had any little knowledge of what UX was at all. Now, as a UX Designer at IBM, I cannot stress how pivotal this course in enabling me to jumpstart my career.

Springboard uses an intuitive website to guide students through the various stages of designing a mobile application or website (which may conveniently enough be used as a portfolio piece). Utilizing a mixture of articles, interactive cour...

I joined the Data Science Career Track in order to gain the hard skills associated with Data Science after working w/ a small start-up as an impromptu Data Researcher and Analyst and having previously earned an MS including classes in stats.
I chose the program for it's emphasis on application of skills in my own projects, and the flexible relationship with the Mentor.
Pro: - Mentor was great, had real-world experience and served as a great resource to help me define a good question and project as well as solve technical questions w/ my coding. She also provided extra resources if I wanted to practice or further develop a skill from the program.
- included some optional extra projects and lessons for many skills, so you could easily do extra practice if desired.
- Great lessons ...

I learnt and acquired a lot of new important skills for the data scientist position. I appreciated in particular the projects because, in that way, I could work with different dataset and applied the techniques and also the DataCamp lessons.

I was really happy to choose Springboard for my data science education. Springboard's student service is consisting of dedicated people, who are always willing to make the best for all individuals. If you have any problem, don't hesitate to ask for help! Otherwise, they cannot know. So, being engagement with student advisor or any people from Springboard is really important for the success. They are always ready to help. They give importance to people's education and happiness rather than their business. From student advisors to mentors, they are all helpful, generous and professional.

I come from a software engineering background. I have been developing data-centric applications for over a decade but have never did any data science.

I always wanted to take it to the next level by learning data science/machine learning, but I always found it too difficult to do on my own. There's just too much knowledge/learning-paths/etc. out there that I kept getting confused on which way to proceed.

Thankfully, I found Springboard. They have been an absolute lifesaver. The best thing about the course is that it lays out a clear path on how to get from A to Z. No more constant confusion. The mentors there really helped guide me and keep me focused on what really mattered and not get lost down a rabbit hole etc.

The course takes a lot of work. But by the end of the course...

From start to finish I was very pleased with this program. It does require you to stay focused and self motivated but as long as you can keep a good work ethic I don't see why someone should succeed in this program. It was very informative and the courses were quite thorough. 10 out 10 would recommend this program to anyone who desires to pursue a career in UX design.

I learned a lot from the Business Analytics course, 90-days learning from the best mentor. I loved the idea of working on the projects and having the mentor review them and giving feedback once a week. The use of real-life business projects is awesome it makes you think in different perspectives. If you have a hard time with time management or you have a lot of stuff in your plate you need to make sure you manage your time wisely and take at least 1 or 2 hours daily to work in the project.

I had been working as a graphic designer for over 4 years (usually in Print, Digital ads, and branding) but was feeling stuck in my freelance/agency career. I decided to jump fully into UI/UX after I had enjoyed my first app project but felt like I wasn't completely informed about my design decisions. Springboard had a great 'work at your own pace' curriculum that I jumped right into. I finished the course in 3-4 months and in the middle of the course I acquired my first UI design client. I still work with that client today, and a few others.

Springboard provided me with confidence in my design, project proposals, and UX consultations. I now work full time as a freelancer in the UI/UX field and I love it.

The Pros:
Attending the Springboard UX Design program helped me fill in some gaps about the UX Design process. I had some exposure and practice with the UX process before taking the course. However, my knowledge and experience were minimal. The Springboard UX course helped me gain some new skills as well as giving me a few mock projects for my design portfolio.

Having access to a real mentor gave me the confidence that I was on the right path to learning UX design. My mentor was helpful and insightful in answering questions I had about the UX process and the new skills I was learning. In addition to the online training curriculum, I also had the support system of fellow students taking the course. This was helpful when getting feedback about my projects.

The cons:

I know the curriculum has changed since I started the course Oct 2017, so some of the criticisms may no longer apply. The strongest part of the course is the access to the mentor(s) and the team of career coaches.

The curated course content overall is very good, though some lectures are from 4-5 years ago.
The main focus is the two capstones and the mentor interaction to keep you moving forward on them.
The Python datacamp courses (at the time) where mostly useful, though at some points I used other materials from courses like Udemy or LinkedIn Learning where the curriculum fell short of the coursework being asked.
The coursework at many points has incorrect time-estimates for the (2-4 hrs suggested but actually needing 10-20). Some coursework questions and worksheets were out of...

I attended the Springboard Data Science Career Track program for ~5 months. I did some research before entering. I had some coding and data analysis experience before entering. This one suits me the best among other data science courses, because (1) It's online, so I don't have to quit my job. (2) It's mentor supported, very few if any online program offer that (3) It has a job guarantee. Overall, the experience was fantastic.

The curriculum, while not perfect, is well curated and organized and covers not just technical subjects, but also career support. I get 30 minutes with a mentor every week to review my assignments, answer my questions, etc. My mentor had similar background as I do and had gone through the academia to industry transition before, so he was able to offer valuable ...

I walked into Springboard with not a lot of expectations, mostly because I knew so little about UX Design to begin with. With my background in graphic design though, I found that a lot of the teachings and exercises came intuitively as I navigated the coursework. For those who don't have the same background as I do, I still think it would be a solid course to do; Springboard provides a really good general overview of what UX is and all its separate pathways found in the tech bubble today. The mentorship works great as a personal nudge/kick in the butt when you need it to, and there's some fairly decent peer feedback as well on the community boards.

The great thing about Springboard is the abundance of support, weekly calls from the mentor and a clear walk through of the cutting edge course material.
