Springboard

The curriculum taught a wide variety of tools and skills, although some materials are out of date. A bit more emphasis and resources on SQL would be very useful, given the importance of SQL in the field. The lessons and projects gives you plenty of practice... Read More on the skills taught and the feedback from the graders/mentors are very helpful. The weekly/biweekly discussions with my mentor taught me quite a lot about the real world applications of the skills and tools taught, along with them providing guidance on capstone projects. Pricing is a bit expensive, but overall it was a great learning experience and a great platform to learn about the field of data science if you prefer a more structured approach on learning.

I came into Springboard with no prior experience but wanted to enroll in a bootcamp to have a structured course and mentorship. The best thing about this course was that I was able to work on 3 different projects that I could add to my portfolio, with... Read More one being real-world experience working with a client and team. The weekly mentor calls helped a lot and my mentor provided me with a lot of good feedback and takeaways that I wouldn't have gotten if I didn't take a bootcamp. Also, the Springboard community on Slack is great for networking and learning about other students' experiences as they go through the course. My only con would be that most of the study materials are articles and videos that can be found online for free (some of the links are outdated and don't work). However, if you struggle with self-learning, this is nice as everything is organized into different units for you.

This experience has been genuinely life-changing.

Springboard has been a wonderful experience. I am a working mom, so it became a bit hectic for me to stay on track with the timeline that has been created. That's not to say it can not be done. Springboard not only was supportive of my particular needs,... Read More but it provided me all the support with course work and learning as well. The course work was vigorous and I absolutely love my mentor. All the career help is awesome. I would recommend this program to anyone that is willing to put forth a work and effort.

The course is very comprehensive. The tools taught are from the ground up, not just shortcuts. The 1:1 industry mentor was priceless. The career units are engineering specific and very useful. Had a few issues during the course and advising quickly and... Read More gracefully assisted me.

With every previous job I had containing some kind of cyber security deficiency, and the number of threats growing, I decided to train myself so that I could then teach others. It had to be scalable, it had to be on my schedule, and it had to be based... Read More on current events. It had to be Springboard. A platform like Springboard presents what would be irrelevant data in a 4 year program in a 6 month boot camp. The downsides are present, such as impersonal learning styles strongly dependent on your own will to progress, but the support system in place more than makes up for this. Your own mentor, career coach, advisor, student base to connect with and growing LinkedIn community you build make you more connected than I think I would have felt at a university. Education is an investment, not an expense, and I think Springboard understands that principle.

Very helpful. Curriculum goes heavily through all details that one might see when working in a Data Science role. The resources available are very vast especially being able to contact a technical mentor or a career coach at a rate of once every 1-2 weeks... Read More minimum.

As a full-time working gal, I will say it was quite a balancing game which ended up making the 6-9 month course take me like 12 months. As someone with content, design, and marketing experience this course was just enough to challenge me and give me enough... Read More information to feel confident in obtaining a new skill. All curriculums come along with actionable projects that ensure to keep your skills top of mind. This along with long with the multiple support outlets from your mentor, career coaches, advisors, and their general support staff I think take the course up MANY notches! I don't know if I would've completed it without this support. It’s not easy by any means, but I believe I have so much beneficial information and growth in applicable skills to be successful. Best of luck to any others who take the plunge! - Jennifer Orellana
