"Springboard UX Design School is one of the best classes any marketer can take"

I participated in the UX Design School in Summer 2015 and it was one of the best career investments that I have ever made. I wanted to learn more about UX Design and User Research and found this program. The courses are just as in-depth and intensive... Read More

The biggest thing to keep in mind is that what you get out of this program is based on how much work and effort you put into it. It can be easy to fall behind on course work, but if you do that you're only hurting yourself and your progress. After going through the course, I would recommend dedicating at least one weekend afternoon each week and one evening during the work week to focus on the course work and projects.

This is a great program and I hope everyone who enrolls gets as much out of it as I did.
