" I would highly recommend springboard best bootcamp for those going for a career change"  I had a wonderful experience at springboard as: 
It was helpful for me to understand the basics of analytics and upgrading my skills.
Well matched mentor was one of the best practice that springboard does.
1:1 mentor calls helped me throughout my course.
Real life case studies helped me to understand concepts more clearly and use them in practice.
Job guarantee and career coach calls helping me to get a decent job in my field. 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

I have almost completed the Data Analysis Career Track, and I am grateful for the experience it has given me. 5 months in, I have landed a job in the field. I did come into the program with some experience in excel, python, and sql, but the course was a good refresher and taught me a lot in terms of real world applications and business sense.Most valuable parts: - 1-1 weekly mentor calls, monthly career coaching calls- in depth case studies- building your own unique portfolio projectsNot-so-great parts: -Starting the course in November 2019 (when it was still fresh) felt a little like we were also beta testing it- if learning communities are important to you, the community being online can be a challenge to adapt to- some of the course material felt repetitive and some left me feeling like I needed more practiceThe designers and educators are responsive to feedback, and the student support (student advisors, community advisors, career services, etc) are very helpful and respond quickly.

I found the Data Analytics program at Springboard to be one of the best online bootcamps for two main reasons: the people and the coursework.  The coursework had a great balance of helping you learn the key material for the field of data analytics, but integrated a great balance with career development that helped you not feel overwhelmed.  The course had a tremendous balance of being challenging yet not insurmountable.  The weekly mentor calls were helpful, I felt like my mentor truly cared about me and my progress, but did have weeks where they were too short in length.  Springboard does provide you with unlimited on-call mentors, which is helpful when you're stuck or need some help.  The other shining part of Springboard's structure are the people, which is a tad ironic (to quote Alanis?), but everyone was amazing.  The Slack community of students is more connected than I thought or experienced in previous boot camps.  My mentor, Laib, as I stated earlier, was engaged, encouraging, and flexible as illness occurred in my family.  My student advisor, Sophie, was off the charts in her kindness and helpfulness.  Her fingerprints are all over the program, and she is helpful and warm to all students. Her genuine kindness was with a strength to me throughout the course, and an understated - yet extremely important - presence at Springboard.  Chris, one of the main content creators of the course, gave me personal encouragement on my progress and completion of big assignments.  I am in my 30's, but that personal touch meant a lot.  And I'd be remiss not to life up my career coach - Faren, she was superb.  She made time for me, even when her schedule was stacked, to help shape my resume or cover letter for specific positions.  She, like Sophie, Chris, and Laib, went well above my expectations or what I think was compensated by Springboard.  The fact that the material was solid, instructive, and helpful, coupled with the supreme touch of caring and support (despite being remote), makes this an easy recommendation to anyone pursuing a growth or change into data analytics.
