Springboard

I am so glad I chose Springboard to help me in transitioning my career path. Springboard not only provides a structural curriculum that help students to gain necessary knowledge and skills, the program also provides the best mentors and career coaches... Read More to help students succeed.

I was very satisfied with the Data Analytics Career Track at Springboard. From enrollment to completion everyone I interacted with was very friendly. The main reason I was attracted to Springboard was the 1:1 mentorship that was part of the learning process.... Read More As a novice to Data Analytics, I was very happy to have the mentor to guide me when I struggled and showed me new insights along the way. I would recommend Springboard to anyone I meet. What a great investment for my future.

I just wrapped up the full-time UX/UI Design Career Track program through Springboard, and what an experience! Overall, great curriculum with in-depth projects and resources. The support from Springboard was incredible- the mentor I was matched with went... Read More over and above, we had great discussions and he provided helpful feedback and direction time and time again. The fact that I can't readily think of any major 'cons' speaks to the preparation and thought that went into designing this course! I will definitely recommend Springboard to anyone that may be looking for a remote study option.

I have enrolled for the Data Science Career Track program at Springboard and I had a great learning experience there. Springboard has a very good course curriculum which guides from the basic to higher level. The course curriculum has two capstone projects... Read More and 14 mini projects which helps to understand the Data Science concepts very well. The best part of the course is they provide us a weekly call with an industry expert mentor who guides throughout the course and also they have unlimited mentor calls facility to clear any doubts throughout the week. We also had calls with a career coach who helped with tailoring portfolio, resume, guided for networking, behavioral interview and many more to get ready for the interviews. We also had office hours for general Data Science and career services. I had great experience with my student Advisor, who was very understanding, flexible and granted me several course breaks when I needed one. At the end of the course, we had four mock interviews on General Data Science, Coding, Project Walkthrough and Behavioral which helped us to review all the course curriculum and get ready for the real interviews. Now I am confident to apply all my Data Science knowledge in my job and loved learning at Springboard.

I had been checking out the pros and cons on various programs for sometime. Springboard came out to be the one that offered the most bank for your buck, it is immersive, goes deep into the program, and has great support staff and really challenges you.... Read More At the end, you end up with a nice portfolio but it is not easy task, you have to work hard completing all the units.

The entire course at Springboard was such a great experience, from beginning to end. The research not only allowed me to expand my knowledge, but it taught me how to self-learn. Originally, I had enrolled in a UX Bootcamp with UCI, and planned to attend... Read More in person classes. However, when COVID came about, they moved their entire course online, and didn't alter the 12,000 tuition. I wasn't sure how prepared UCI would be to conduct remote classes, and if they would be able to offer the same value as if it had been in person. When I called them, I received no change in the tuition for a fully remote course, and little help. This reception changed my mind about the course, and with much difficulty sought to get back my downpayment as the course was no longer the same. I decided to look for a course that was intended to be online, as I was hoping that they would have a curriculum built around the online factor. I researched multiple schools, and settled on Springboard as it was reputed for a wealth of curriculum and resources. My introductory phone call went so well, and the woman I spoke with expressed sympathy for my complications with my UCI Bootcamp. The tuition for my UX Career Track was half of the tuition for UCI, which would now be the in the same format. I was wary of the online factor, and wasn't sure if I would be able to find motivation to keep up with my work. When I began, it seemed as though Springboard already knew the struggles of working from home. The best thing that cut against my procrastination was having a mentor who I met with once a week. Every week I wanted to have accomplished something new to show him, and have moved forward in the course. In addition, one of my favorite little things was that there was a little note on each section, saying how long it took to complete the section. It became a game for me, seeing how quickly I could complete the section, trying to beat the time. (While still retaining the information I learned.) Springboard drew from a wealth of resources, and offering me viewpoints from websites I had never heard of, I learned of sources I could continue to tap for information. My UX course took me through the design process, taught me how to think about it, my mentor refined my process, and at the end of the day, left me feeling equipped beyond what I thought possible. In addition, there were career calls throughout the course that taught me how other professionals responded to me, and built my confidence so much. I felt like the course successfully brought me, not to the end of the course, but to the start of my career. I was brought into the world of UX Professionals, and accepted as one of them. I have and will continue to recommend Springboard to people around me. The course gave me a strong foundation, and boosted my confidence to view myself as a UX Designer, and an industry professional.

Springboards UI/UX Design career track was a super informative and fun course. I learned so much and feel prepared for a job in the industry. My favorite part of the course is the mentorship. I learned the most through my mentor! Springboard also gives... Read More students the opportunity to work with a real client for 4 weeks and this is great preparation for the real world in UI/UX design.

I would recommend Springboard to anyone trying to learn while working. The independent and self pace structure is what set it apart from other programs, and the mentors are there for you the whole way. At times, I did feel it was a little too independent... Read More and got very stressed out, but there are a bunch of resources and a community there if you need it. Honestly, my decision to do the course was very spontaneous and I after I signed up I was overwhelmed, but now that it's over I can't be more happy with my decision. This course set me up for a new career path, something that I was in desperate need for. I'm just about to start my job search in a bad economy, so a bit nervous. But proud of myself for using the pandemic as a time to learn and grow instead of wait around.

I took the Data Science Career Track (and prep) and was very impressed with the material covered and the real world examples they used in this course. If I was to do it all over again I would schedule a 1:1 mentor call each day on top of my weekly mentor... Read More call. The daily mentor call people can help you with anything but you only get 1 a day. I ended up finding a job before I graduated the course. I owe a lot to Springboard for my success!

The courses mainly consist of videos and articles to be read and watched. This may seem counterproductive, but in the long term, one realizes that the organization of the work has been designed to maximize the assimilation of knowledge - everything has... Read More been distributed according to a precise agenda, which presents successive objectives in the same way as a game (with progress bar, etc). Following your own progress week after week, taking a review each time with your mentor is fun, exciting and above all very effective. You find yourself absorbing a significant amount of knowledge in a very short period of time. Just be warned that the UX / UI course is quite dense, and should not be taken lightly. The training is well worth the investment if you do it seriously. Last precision : I think that the courses proposed by Springboard are mostly valued in the United States. In Europe, few people seems to know this institution. It's unfortunate, but people are starting to do the same thing here - which is a good sign in regards of quality.
