Springboard

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.

This school not only provided me with the foundation and clarity within, but also an inspired passion for CyberSecurity. The program is a true investment in knowledge and one that pays lifelong dividends. I recommend this course to anyone who is looking... Read More to get into the tech industry.

I am transitioning from software engineering to data science as someone who has a PhD in psychology and quant science. I rather enjoyed Springboard, as the curriculum was sequential and learning was built in a manner that made sense. The course material... Read More was great and my mentor was wonderful.

There are people that communicate with you throughout, program services, career services, student advising, and they are all very kind and sweet. They were helpful and really moved things along when I could not find my technical coach to do a mock coding session for my job guarantee.

I don’t know how the job guarantee will be since I just graduated and have only had 1 meeting with my coach. She seems knowledgable with great energy. Let’s see how this goes.

The career coaches that you are required to meet with to go over your LinkedIn and resume are pretty helpful and very sweet as well.

You get what you put into this program in terms of learning and as with any program, there’s the administrative stuff you have to complete. It was not a big deal and it was nice to interact with a human being.

I went through another bootcamp and that felt soul breaking in comparison. This bootcamp was a breath of fresh air, honestly. Springboard gives you the content and you just need to learn it and follow all the rules they set forth if you want the job guarantee. If you treat them well (email them nicely), they will treat you extremely well.

Looking forward to them helping me get a job!

I started off without any knowledge in Data Analytics and extremely basic coding experience. I basically knew to output 'Hello World' and make basic arithmetic calculations. I have evolved a lot and Springboard made it possible. The flow was adaptable,... Read More the mentorship program was great and one of the best selling points for Springboard.
