Data Science Career Track

I recently completed the Data Science Career Track at Springboard, and it was an incredible experience. Throughout the course, I gained a vast amount of knowledge and practical skills in the field of data science. The curriculum was comprehensive, covering various essential topics and techniques.One aspect that stood out was the opportunity to work on two capstone projects. These projects were invaluable as they allowed me to apply my newfound knowledge to real-world scenarios. The guidance and feedback provided by the mentors during the project development were instrumental in my success.I greatly appreciated the extensive support offered by Springboard. Not only did they provide mentorship for the technical aspects of data science, but they also had a dedicated mentor for my job search. This personalized guidance helped me navigate the job market and prepare for interviews, giving me a competitive edge.The mentors at Springboard were exceptional, offering expertise, guidance, and encouragement throughout the course. They were readily available to address any questions or concerns, fostering a supportive learning environment.Overall, the Data Science Career Track at Springboard exceeded my expectations. I acquired valuable skills, completed meaningful projects, and received outstanding support from mentors. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to embark on a successful journey in the field of data science.

I have seen a lot of bootcamp programs but springboard is the worst I have ever seen. They literally outsourced everything while making a lot money. They don't give enough support during the bootcamp and after completion.

The entire Springboard team is very supportive with great mentors. Their teaching material is very nice. Learned a lot. The curriculum is well structured. The guided capstones give a very solid foundation which enables us to do the independent capstones confidently. 

As a postdoc looking to transition from academia to industry, I came across Springboard's data science program and decided to give it a try. I was impressed with the program's career training, which not only taught me data science but also prepared me for a career in the field. The program provided me with the necessary tools to build a portfolio of projects, practice mock interviews, and get my resume reviewed, all of which helped me secure a job offer within a few months of completing the program. The program's curriculum is comprehensive and well-structured, covering topics such as data analysis, machine learning, statistical inference, and data visualization. The self-paced nature of the program allowed me to work at my own pace and take as much time as I needed to understand the material fully, and having a mentor to guide me throughout the program was incredibly beneficial. Overall, I highly recommend Springboard's data science program for postdocs looking to transition from academia to industry.

Overall, this course is fantastic if you find yourself looking to switch careers like I did. Beforehand, I had some experience with SQL but none with python, machine learning, or really any data science. At the end of the day, I feel comfortable apply, interviewing, and actually doing the work for any intro/ mid-tier data science job. 

This program is great - comprehensive, thorough, logical, and well-designed. If you are able to be self-motivated and manage your own milestones/progress/education, you can gain a ton. They will definitely not be micromanaging you at any point, so it's something to be aware of if you work better with more oversight. I found that support and guidance was available when needed, but that ultimately I had to answer most of my own questions for myself (which is a good learning experience, in the end!). I feel ready to do well in a data scientist role.

The focus on self-paced projects not only leaves you with a strong portfolio but helped me learn in an integrated manner so that I feel I truly understand core concepts in the field of data science. Some frustrating glitches with curriculum access along the way, but these were always resolved through a super strong support community. 

The curriculum: They have a solid program and excellent resources with which you can code and try your own models on real datasets. Moreover, In Springboard they know that you need to have some practical experience apart from the theoretical background you gain through different readings, videos, and books. The practical training you receive is invaluable: The projects and case studies make you see that Data Science is not only about coding and creating models to analyze data. Yoy have to understand the stakeholders needs and the true company's problems. In Springboard you are also trained to analyze a company's situation in order to offer the best solution. Networking coaching: The Data Science Track is not all about Data Science, networking will also allow you to know people that will enrich your career. Coaches in Springboard will help you, and give you the best tips for you to take advantage of everything the Data Science Community has to offer.Academic Excellence and the instructors: When it comes to Data Science, I believe you can learn whatever you want from Springboard's instructors. They experience and knowledge is an invaluable resource. It is important not to miss the chance to listen about their experiences and the jobs they have had in the field.

I am Data Science graduate from Springboard. The framework is designed very well and cover all areas of data analytics and data science skill. The real time projects give you confidence to face interview. I have overall very good experience and I highly recommend Springboard! 

The course definitely has a great introduction to Data Science. It starts off strong with showing you how to utilize python and it’s libraries. I enjoyed going over all the tools used for data analysis and prediction. You can definitely expect to improve your python skills when going over each project and capstone. My mentor was a great and knowledgeable person and I really valued the feedback he provided. It was a great experience learning at springboard.

I enrolled in the Springboard Data Science Career track in May 2022 and achieved my certificate in Dec 2022. It was a great journey to realize my goal of becoming a data scientist. Intensive courses, numerous hands-on exercises, and mini-projects, along with two personal capstone projects, assist me in mastering skills of Python, Statistics, SQL, Machine Learning and the full life cycle of data science projects. During my study, I work with an industry mentor with practical data experience who supports my learning tremendously. We met regularly and emailed once I had a question. My career coach is also helpful in cheering me up, setting goals, and teaching me to interview and resume tips. I always learned new things from her each time we met.Last but not least, I grow my network gradually during my study. I had informational interviews and enthusiastic support from current students and alumni. I believe I am on the right track to landing a dream job. 

The curriculum is brilliant and focuses on the industry. It contains great practical tasks and projects. My mentor and career mentor was great and built my confidence in data science. It is a bootcamp that is intensive and you would need to work everyday especially if you want to finish it within 6 months. You are offered a lot of support and guidance throughout the course. 

Springboard focuses on the application of the tools required for a career in Data Science and Machine Learning. This was best exemplified by two capstones developed independently by myself with the guidance of an experienced mentor. While the coding skill development could be more challenging, Springboard gives its students the ability to supplement their skills by providing a variety of resources. 

Springboard provides an excellent opportunity to grow my career at my own pace.Springboard is a great option to expedite growth in all areas of data science education and job search. The mentorship and career coaching is perfect for getting one-on-one help throughout the course and meeting specific needs. The case studies are informative and the capstone projects allow working in an area that is of personal interest. Keep in mind, this course is fully online and is work at your own pace; be prepared and determined to set and stick to your schedule.

I already had a job as a Data Scientist so I did not concern myself with the job guarantee. My motivation was to learn Python (I’m an R user) and get guidance from a mentor (I mostly work alone) to become an overall better data scientistI understand you can find/learn the material on your own, but Springboard has it all organized and laid out cleanly here. I always knew I could learn Python but I couldn’t figure out the best way to do it. The combination of the guided capstones and the Datacamp exercises gave me the framework to fly on my own. I also love how the course is more than just building models. It goes over the entire data science process, career help, and mentorship. I feel that I am much more well-rounded as a data scientist.My only issue was with the mentorship. I actually did the preliminary data science course and had a great mentor I really connected with on a personal level. Someone I would get a drink with. Though my mentor this course was knowledgeable and helped me enough, the relationship felt minimal and transactional. I regret not being more adamant in changing mentors because apparently it’s an easy process. The last thing I’ll mention is that this course is an investment. Both in terms of money and time. It cost a lot and I had spent most of my personal time working on it (I definitely rushed it a bit). I would suggest it unless you are VERY serious about becoming a data scientist or improving as one. It’s a premium product that for me at least was worth it.

With this course  learned what Data Science is all about. Before taking it, I enrolled and completed around 15 MOOCs and always felt confused on how to start applying my gained knowledge. With Springboard, I was able to join all the dots together and mastered top notch technologies and methodologies for that. Great technologies used for Data Science, absolutely emailing mentorship from industry experts while doing the capstone projects, incredible career coaches during the job hunt and a very welcoming, warm and helpful community. There are some missing topics in the curriculum that would have been nice to have like more SQL practice and DB administration, introduction to NoSQL, cloud computing and software engineering concept for model deployment. So, a huge recommendation would be to make this a yearly program and trying to include those topics as well.

If you are like me and are coming into the Data Science/Data Analytics field from a business background, I can wholeheartedly recommend Springboard. Their Business Insider track is the perfect mechanism for learning the skills you need while leveraging your business acumen and domain knowledge to get a job in the data field. The insight that the career coaches and mentors shared was priceless. I learned so many things that I would never have known through self-study or even through a master's program. 

The curriculum is very broad. I think that you really can get a very good idea of what means to be a Data Scientist. The material is designed for any person with any type of background to understand it clearly. Additionally, I think that the support from mentors, community, advisors, etc. is wonderful to guide you in the correct pathway to succeed.Lastly, the amount and insight of all the projects help a lot to solidify the knowledge that you learn.Plus you have access for life to the resources!!

Springboard is an amazing way to change careers into the data world. Their mentor program, career coaches, and curriculum are top notch! I felt prepared and well equipped for a new job I had no experience in prior to Springboard. I HIGHLY recommend this program if you want to jump into the data world and have no prior experience. 

I chose the Springboard Data Science Career Track because it had great reviews, a job offer guarantee, and it had the most in-depth training program with over 500 hours of training material and 14 projects including 3 capstone projects to share with potential employers. They also provide significant career coaching which really helps with finding great jobs and getting interviews. In my opinion, the most valuable part is the mentorship. Springboard assigns a mentor that you meet with on a weekly basis. My mentor is fantastic and helped me to get a job with his company. The training is self-paced and all remote, so I was able to complete most of it while traveling the country in my RV. The program is a bit expensive compared to some others, but all the benefits are definitely worth the cost especially considering that they will give you your money back if you don't get a job offer in the Data Science field.
