Springboard

Pros: In - depth curriculum that immerses you into both the tools AND methodologies of how to approach data. The course allowed me to pace myself and offered endless support to accommodate my work schedule when things got busy. The mentor I had provided... Read More me with all the encouragement one could need, including providing deep knowledge of all aspects of the course units. Cons: Sometimes the course became cumbersome in that some units/sub-units felt a bit redundant and others felt rushed when there should be more. For example, SQL and Python are critical to some aspects of analytics work, but I felt I needed more practice, but that could be a subjective perspective.

The course is well-structured, the support one gets during the course is immense and diverse ranging from 1:1 mentor calls(on-demand calls to mentors for help), office hours, a slack channel, career coaching, weekly calls with one's assigned mentor, technical... Read More support, advising and everything in between. My schedule didn't allow me to join the weekly office hours in real time but I could always go back and watch the videos, I could schedule appointments to speak to an on-demand mentor and those were so helpful. But for these, I do not think I would've finished the course. I learned so much, not just the technical course content but also about networking, resume and cover letter writing. Simply, all the people associated with Springboard are there to see you succeed! Do not hesitate to reach out to anybody when you feel like you're falling behind or just not in the right place. They will help you!

I really enjoyed my experience at Springboard - they really give you the tools to succeed, especially when shifting career paths. I thought the weekly mentors calls, open communication with my student advisor, and career coaching really empowered the... Read More students to reach their goals.

As many others, I was so anxious and hesitant to change my career amidst a pandemic. Springboard made this decision one of the best I've ever made. The mentor and community support is the reason I went with Springboard over others; you feel supported... Read More every step of the way. The cirriculum is very in depth - you really get what you put into it. I'm finishing this bootcamp with a new set of skills and the confidence to apply them to a new career.

The program provides a well rounded foundation in UX/UI. Curriculum is at times is broad and goes beyond the scope what you might expect from a focused Bootcamp (I.e. building presention skills). The program is pretty rigorous, so don't underestimate... Read More the time commitment needed to complete. It would be hard to do while working FT. But if it's a match to what you're looking for (price, remote, etc.) its great. Also the Sprinboard admin are great and very accommodating. Everytime I had an issue or question they worked with me very proactively to accommodate requests. Above and beyond in that regard.

Pros Loved the coach calls and the mentors. They were great. The community always had my back. I love that they didn’t recreate the wheels with content but laid it out nicely. Because it can be hard to navigate. Cons I got a data science job 4 months... Read More in an had to work on both at the same time. Not a bad problem to have though. Plus the company reached out to me!

Last week I completed the Springboard Data Analytics Program. It was a journey with a duration of almost 7 months and 400+ study hours. My experience was very interesting and challenging. Please see below some points why I really love this program: 1.... Read More The curriculum has a good structure and It covers the main topics for data analytics (Financial Analysis, Economics, Statistics, Career Coaching) and such important analytical tools as SQL, Python, Advanced Excel, Power BI, and Tableau. 2. The Springboard mentors are very professional and supportive. 3. You will never feel alone with the useful Slack channel and weekly meetings. 4.

The program is flexible, and it is possible to balance effectively between your current job and the course. 6. You can take 3 weeks break if you need to pause the program. 7. The price is much lower than the prices of other bootcamps. 8. You can get a discount if you refer your friends (as I did!). 9.

After the program you have 6-months of support from the career coach to help you to apply for the roles and pass the interview. I can definitely recommend the Springboard Data Analytics Career Track program. It worth the money and benefit you as a data analyst professional. Thank you. Springboard!

I just finished the Machine Learning Engineer Career Track with Springboard and what a journey it has been. I can't imagine having learned all this without this guidance and without my mentor. In fact I am sure I never would have. I would have putzed... Read More around in this corner and that corner of the internet and never really mastered anything. But I DID take the course and I am amazed at ehat I have accomplished. The absolute best part of the program was the mentor experience. My mentor pulled me out of the depths of despair countless times and gave me clear guidance on how to get back on track. Her technical guidance was also top notch. The curriculum was very broad and deep and at times felt like too much, but I appreciate that was well. I would highoy recommend this course to anyone wanting to become a Machine Learning Engineer.

When I signed up for Springboard’s UX/UI program, I had the smallest idea of what UX design meant. I knew I was tired of working “gig” jobs and barely getting by- at the time I was a yacht stewardess. I’m so happy that after a year- I’ve completely changed... Read More my job prospects and career opportunities. I learned real, valuable skill that I am certain will lead to a life changing career path. Was it easy? Not so much. Was it the best course? Yes, from what I’ve gathered from other UX bootcamps- SB does a lot of things right that other camps skip over. Could I have done this while working a full time - ummm probably not. The amount of time needed to dedicate to this program is a lot of free time. I’m grateful that SB allowed for breaks and pauses when life got in the way. So excited about what is next!

As somebody who has already worked in the industry as a Java Backend Engineer, I did not think I would be getting a ton out of this course. However, I was wrong. In contrast to the Object Oriented foundation I was trained in, this course covered Javascript... Read More and modern web frameworks in great depth. It also covered the python stack, making sure to get many of the details of both stacks. My mentor is highly successful in the industry of software engineering, and we are maintaining our relationship outside of the bootcamp. He legitimately cared about my well being and success, which isn't always the case.
