Springboard

Springboard is one of the highest rated and cheapest online bootcamps, and I think that bore out more or less for me. I definitely felt the lack of cohesion and interaction with my cohort, which was a real bummer. However the staff, tutors and mentors... Read More were very engaged and if you are self directed + reach out for help when you need it you'll learn everything you need to. They also really focus on teaching career skills to make sure you can actually find a job - I wish my college had done that much.

I just finished data engineering course with Springboard. The curriculum is exceptional. The projects are well designed and really help me on understanding the basic concepts of some advanced technologies such as, map/reduce, airflow, Kafka, etc. (It... Read More is worth mentioning that I have used other courses to teach myself Kafka, airflow, and was not able to mastered it). My mentor is very helpful. He was not only supervising finishing the projects but also helping me understand some most concepts, like OOP, SOLID. He also helped me to complete a capstone project which is about creating data lake from scratch, using different technologies, Python, Spark, Snowflake, Tableau . A fun project from which I have learned a lot. I haven't started my job searching. But I feel their support for career is also very strong. I may report later.

My experience with Springboard was very strong. I am a recent graduate of the Software Engineering Career Track. This program focuses on full-stack web development and will guide the student to a strong understanding of in-demand software engineering... Read More skills that are found in a high percentage of job listings. One-on-one mentoring was one of the most important features for me. I was matched with a mentor that I met with weekly (virtually) who reviewed all of my work, answered questions, made corrections and suggestions, as well as pointed me to additional resources, and guided me on my path. In addition to my personal mentor’s code reviews and instruction, I was given the opportunity to have other mentors give me code reviews of some of the larger curriculum projects which were valuable for getting additional perspectives and becoming comfortable with code reviews in general. The video lectures are put together well and come with study notes. There are many project assignments that are thoughtfully put together and challenging. The capstone projects have become features in my portfolio. There is a series of mock interviews that you prepare for and must pass that is an invaluable experience: Behavioral, Project code walk-through, Technical, and whiteboard. This process is very helpful to the interview process The career services and support are top-notch. Throughout the course, there are career modules to work on so that upon graduation the student is ready to begin the job search that includes resume and cover letter building, networking, and LinkedIn optimization. Post graduation you work with a career coach for 6 months (with available free extensions) to guide you on your job search, prepare you for behavioral interviews, teach you to use the many online resources available, help with job offer negotiations, etc. There is a job guarantee which offers tuition reimbursement if a job is not secured in 6 months and the graduate stays compliant with standards of job search requirements.

I had a great experience with the springboard bootcamp! I chose springboard because of how affordable the bootcamp is compared to the others, being matched with a mentor that you meet every week, and the ability to work on a industry design product with... Read More a real company. My mentor was super supportive and gave very detailed feedback. I learned so much from her and I could tell she was very passionate with teaching her students! If you have the time and have a huge desire to become a UX Designer, I would highly recommend this program!

While I definitely have a lot to learn to become a data scientist, I feel like this prep course does a good job at introducing you to the field as well as preparing you for bigger and better things. I think this is a great first step for anyone considering... Read More a career in Data Science without a relevant background. A) The prep course is affordable. B) It prepares you for their career track test. and C) Should you choose to do their DS career track course, you'll be able to apply the cost of this program towards that tuition.

I had a great experience with Springboard. The curriculum is challenging and prepares you well. Throughout the course, I was able to have access to my mentor and career advisor to help me with any questions I had. They also offer job guarantee. I would... Read More definitely recommend Springboard for anyone looking to make a transition in their career.

Springboard Course was very insightful, giving you the base about cybersecurity industry. Everyone at Springboard, Mentor, Career Coach, Student Advisor we’re all fantastic. The curriculum was great, one great feature is the one on one mentioning. I was... Read More able to learn a lot from the cybersecurity industry from my mentor.

Great experience overall my first mentor was not so great and he said he is quitting due to conflicts with springboard and my second mentor was amazing he helped me and suggested me with all the ideas and what to study more. Overall the course content... Read More is great but can be also found yourself but organized well.

I had actually worked as a professional Data Engineer prior to enrolling in this bootcamp, but the database I focused on was highly specialized and proprietary technology, and I wanted to shore up my skills in the more general open-source technologies... Read More that are widely used throughout the tech industry (python, sql, spark, airflow, cloud, etc). I had always felt confident to google such subjects when I needed to get a one-off job done, but I was well aware that my work was likely rife with hidden inefficiencies, tacky stylistic choices, and affronts to established convention. The problem with that kind of learning is that you "don't know what you don't know". This is what I hoped a formal education in Data Engineering subjects would afford me - a comprehensive understanding of the most essential technologies for Data Engineers today. I can say that Springboard did pay off in that respect. I feel confident to not just speak about those elements of tech, but I know the pros and cons of each of them. Because you get experience with multiple Capstone projects that are indicative of industry assignmemts, I also feel confident with my skills in execution while using any of these technologies - despite having zero experience in many of them prior to Springboard. My mentor, Karthik, went above and beyond to make sure things were going smoothly for me - even when he wouldn't have been expected to.

I took my UX Career Track Certification through Springboard and I highly recommend it! My experience was wonderful overall. Throughout the entire course I was able to have access to my student mentor and advisor to help me through any questions I had....
