UI / UX Design Career Track

If you’re looking for a change of career or to excel your skills to the next level, stop looking right now and sign up for Springboard. The experience will absolutely guarantee you will feel competent and ready to be successful. The 1x1 mentor ship is next level, full of professionals who are powerhouses in their industry. Springboard student advising is very friendly and extremely accommodating to any and all questions.

I began at Springboard two months before the pandemic. IT rocked my life and Springboard made graduation possible. The circumstances were truly, unique. They provided enough flexibility and advice to direct me towards completion on time. The principles learned and results of cumulative work that lead to a portfolio was the foundation I needed. Even if it's not perfect when you finish, you will learn that iterations are part of the process. Design is a moving target and Springboard can give you the support to attempt and stick it.

I enjoyed my time at springboard. The support given from every side of it was really key in my success. Weekly meetings with my mentor gave me confidence along the way. 

 Springboard provides a comprehensive curriculum that enables students to learn about UI/UX design on a deeper level. The course is self-paced, and it is structured in a way that allows students to understand each core concept and practice with design exercises. I enjoyed my time here in Springboard; my classmates, career coaches, and counselors were all excellent and supportive, and my mentor was genuinely amazing. The Industry Client Project was unique, and it helped me get a sense of working in a real-world environment with stakeholders, designers, and developers. There are a few areas where Springboard can improve on, and I shared my feedback with Springboard. Overall, it's been a great experience, and I thank Springboard for opening up another chapter in my life! 

Springboard was pretty amazing for me. Here's my honest review:I did a lot of research prior to enrolling. I highly encourage you do the same. There are lots of bootcamps out there, some are much better than others. I can only vouch for Springboard. I was skeptical I won't lie... a shortcut to a career feels like it's too good to be true. It feels like you're cheating or something and people who went to school for this career must have a huge leg up.I'm sorry, but I disagree. As someone who graduated from a top college university, I disagree with the long-drawn-out typical style of the educational system. What makes you good at something? Doing it, a lot. Hands-on experience. And 1 on 1 feedback. That's exactly what you get with Springboard.I had an amazing mentor and I hope you do too. We met each week. I started as someone with 0 experience in any design field. Nada. And I feel like a design boss now that I've finished. But look, no bootcamp is going to get you a job or make you a great designer as soon as you're done. It's all about what you put in, and if you put in the work and can work long hours solo while having accountability and feedback each week, this is a great bootcamp for you. I feel very confident going into the job search phase now that my portfolio is done.

 There were so many things about Springboard that I loved! Some perks right at the beginning: self paced, different payment options, the mentor calls, extra calls, career coaches and an externship with a real company etc.  The way the curriculum was structured was incredible, starting with the basics, but also in the approach, each topic was covered in different ways to help soak up the information as well as being able to then retain the knowledge if you have different learning styles.  It seemed like each topic was covered by articles, videos, examples, practice homework etc!  Even the features I did not use are still a huge reason why I chose Springboard (the slack channel, extra calls, office hours).  I would suggest anyone considering this program to take their time! I rushed through to try and finish fast but I wish I would have spent more time on my designs and practice. Overall an amazing company and program!, I could go on and on! 

I am so glad that I chose Springboard for my bootcamp program. Like many folks, I'm making a career change, and I didn't know how quickly or slowly I'd get through this new information and skill-building, so I love that you can work at your own pace. The curriculum is well laid-out and thoughtfully brings you through the building blocks you need to complete two capstone projects, a modified Google Ventures Design Sprint and an Industry Placement Project. Those four projects are turned into UX case studies, and will form the basis of your design portfolio. I feel well-prepared to enter the job market and proud to have produced a portfolio website. For me, the other things that made this particular program great were the 1:1 weekly mentorship meetings and various coaching meetings along the way. The staff are incredibly responsive and dedicated to excellent customer service, which provides an extra bit of comfort about doing the course fully remotely. I think this is a great program, and would recommend it to any friend who was considering a UI/UX bootcamp.

When I started my Springboard class in December 2019, I could rightly have never expected the following year to be what it was, no one could. I began the course because at the time I had more free time and time spent working and chose to use that free time to advance my UX skills so I'd be able to land a job in the field I actually wanted to be in. Then Covid hit and suddenly my work took off, my UX Springboard course quickly fell by the wayside given how busy I was with work. Despite needing much more time than the original 9 months to complete the course Springboard was there at every turn, offering me pauses, freezes, month extensions, etc. They really went above and beyond to help me finish my course so I could maintain my job guarantee. The mentorship program was also incredibly helpful, while mine got off to a rough start with a mentor who missed our very first call, Springboard quickly replaced them with one who would go on to be an invaluable resource for the rest of my time with them. 

Overall this was a great class experience. I really felt supported as a student at Springboard, trusted the staff, and felt that they really are invested in helping get me into the industry. Much of the material is sourced from existing websites, which may be a turn off for some. But I think that is helpful to become familiar with existing websites and tools that can support you in your career journey. The mentorship feature is probably what sets Springboard apart from the remaining bootcamps, and it is a feature that was very helpful. I was matched with a great mentor that helped me improve as I went through the class.  I am a recent graduate and therefore I do not know how successful Springboard will be with the job assistance feature, but I am hopeful. 

I'm very impressed with the setup and how Springboard manages to deliver large and complex information simply.  With every step, I felt supported and stayed motivated to keep on going (I never felt like I'm doing it alone). What I like the most though is how much freedom they give, guiding to succeed, and giving so much space for being creative. UI is very functional, elegant, and engaging. They match you with the mentor and with the Industry Design Project based on your interest and preferences and for me, it was a very accurate match. I honestly liked everything about Springboard, they provided me with all possible tools for success and opened so many doors for my future. Completion of the course is one of my finest accomplishments. 

I think the main difference between springboard and a lot of other courses out there (I did a lot of research before deciding on Springboard) is the 1:1 guided support. You can talk to Springboard student support for student issues, you get assigned a personal mentor that you talk to once a week for the duration of the course, you can talk to other industry professionals whenever you want and you get a personal career coach. All of that makes Springboard an exceptional course and worth the money. If you have a question about anything, there's always someone to ask! The curriculum itself is very full and there are ways to take it beyond what Springboard offers you; there are many links within each learning resource where you can learn more in-depth if you want to. At the end of the course you will have a full portfolio with at least 4 UX projects and that will make any new career path or a career transition much more attainable. Having worked in the design field for many years, I can attest to the importance of a great portfolio and Springboard ensures you have that. I can't speak to the career search yet as I have not begun that part of the experience but with the job guarantee and the personal career coach support you get after the course, I have high hopes for success! Springboard UX/UI track is a lot of work (took me almost a year with a full time job) so definitely know that going into it - it's not a 10-week bootcamp. But again, having the mentor support really helped me stay motivated throughout.

I want to start off by stating there will be a ton of work involved in completing the Springboard course. However those who are serious about learning, understanding, and then practicing UX/ UI design methods will be super thankful for all of the reading material and assignments. I feel very confident in the set of skills I learned that I can apply to my future jobs. On top of that, everyone is SO NICE and helpful. Any hiccup I had, someone from Springboard was there to help me and fix any issues at hand. Even though most of the work is remote, I felt very supported. And the best part had to be my mentor. They start off like a teacher, but end of becoming a great peer to have within the UX world. I am truly grateful for the connections made thanks to Springboard. 

I was paired with an amazing mentor that supported me throughout my journey. I was able to get a job offer right when I finished my course, and am set to start in a couple weeks. Thank you Springboard!

Great Experience. Weekly mentor to push you through the course to completion and 24 hrs mentor service.Great Career service.

I enrolled with Springboard in 2020 with the goal to switch careers into a UI/UX Design role. I learned so much and feel very confident entering into a new career now. The coursework is relevant and easy to digest. The structure of the course flows nicely and builds as you go, its also easy to track your progress. Calls with your one on one mentor are a wonderful part of the curriculum as they allow you to discuss problems you are experiencing and receive advice. The Independent Design Project is also a great feature because it gives you the opportunity to work with real companies on actual problems. Overall, I would recommend this course to anyone that is considering pivoting into a UI/UX Design career.

The Springboard UX/UI design career track is an amazing online learning experience. The course content is very carefully curated (you often revisit concepts which really makes sure the info sticks!) and you come away confident with the skills you develop. The mentorship is extremely important and helpful - every week you have at least 1 call with your mentor to review your work and bounce ideas off of each other. The Springboard support team are also great and the student advisors were always really reactive and helpful. The Industry Design Project is also an amazing opportunity as you get to work with a real client and other designers on a real product. I highly recommend the course!

I really enjoyed my time at Springboard and applied after trying out a bootcamp via a university. This was much more extensive and set students up for success.

I really did love Springboard and the curriculum it had to offer. It was extensive, well organized, and helpful. I also loved the mentorship. I trusted my mentor and he really was there to help whenever I needed guidance. However, the course is very long. I worked hard to complete the course in 7 months, however, it got dragged on. Unfortunately, I ended the course being very frustrated and upset by how my time was stretched.

Doing a Springboard's UI/UX design program happens to be genuinely life-changing. The skills I've learned, especially design and career skills, are priceless. Now that I am working as a UX Intern in a real firm, I feel very well prepared for the tasks associated with my job to deliver professional work. I was fascinated by how well designed Springboard's curriculum. I learned the UI and UX design concepts within a nine-month course, covering user research, design exemplars, and applications. I can say that having done this course was cost and time-effective for me. I'm glad I decided on Springboard over a master's program. In addition to this, I enjoyed that Springboard is self-paced, and the staff is very accomodating. They allowed breaks in case you have family emergencies or health issues. 

I loved my Springboard experience! The program is self led, and you work with a weekly mentor to receive feed back and keep yourself on track. When I was diagnosed with ADHD in the middle of the program, I asked for and promptly received an extension accommodation that allowed me to finish strong.
