| | Shivani S. | My prime goal with this course was to advance and formally train myself in data science fundamentals, apply them immediately at my work and lay a solid foundation in data science to continue on the path to become a data scientist. The course was able to deliver just that. One of the best thing about the course is the ability to connect 1:1 to an industry expert in field. This luxury is never possible with any other online course. The ability to discuss coursework, capstone, and even general data science questions, was immensely useful to me. I found Springboard's coursework to be the most well-filtered and appropriately consolidated, keep the best resources available on the internet in the syllabus. G+ community is also very resourceful, with students and mentors always eager to help. Kane, Rachel and my mentor Matt were plain awesome.
After an excellent all round experience with the fundamentals course, I am actively considering getting myself enrolled in the data science intensive course. |
| | Oana Calugar | The real difference with the Springboard courses is the feedback you get from the mentors. I got concentrated doses of information in the classes and the mentor calls, and I was able to apply them immediately in my projects. I choose Springboard based on the delightful combination of self-paced study, weekly mentor calls and weekly office hours, and I was able to see the results of my study efforts immediately.
Speingboard has dramatically contributed to my career success. It's pretty hard to beat Springboard regarding getting your skills current. |
| | Mark | I had read various articles about data science, the role as a career, tools used etc. However it was upon enrolling in the Springboard course that I found out what it was like hands on. If you are passionate on the topic, or even just curious, I can honestly recommend the course as a worthwhile investment. |
