UI / UX Design Career Track

I decided to make a career shift and enrolled in Springboard's UX/UI course. The program was well rounded and helped me go from no experience to having confidence in my job search. Springboard curates their curriculum which has its pros and cons - but overall the curriculum was well rounded, informative, and practical. The mentor process was very helpful and by far my favorite part of the program. The career services are also EXCELLENT. Finally, the staff was very supportive, flexible, understanding, and professional throughout the process.

Springboard is awesome and allowed meThe opportunity to become “unstuck” in life. I was able to learn at my own pace, since I needed more time than the 6 months I was able to do that easily. You have a lot of support in multiple forms. They understand the goal is to GET A JOB and I really appreciated their awareness of that. If you are interested in a career in UX/UI this option is beyond awesome 

Compared to other options, I think Springboard was the best choice to enter the field for me. The 1:1 Mentorship and structure of the course ended up being the biggest benefits, as well as the continued career support. The price vs. quality was attractive as well since they have always been completely remote.I would definitely recommend Springboard to anyone who is serious about their career change and plans not to look back. It's not easy and it has been difficult and fulfilling work. I fully committed my time to the course since January since I left my marketing job last year.I completed in ~4.5 months, while working on the course full-time so it is doable, but required a lot of focus and dedication.I feel very prepared to step into a new role, especially after my final project working with a startup to develop new product ideas.Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.

Springboard's UX career track curriculum is very well thought out. I found it was really helpful for people like me who don't have any technical background. Springboard gives you unlimited mentor calls. Career coach calls are also very helpful and they give you career coach consultation for 6 months after graduation. The mentors and career counselors are very knowledgable. Also, they have a slack channel for all the students and alumni to discuss any problem and get suggestions. Furthermore, student advisors and everyone from the support staff is great and very helpful, and timely in their responses. Springboard has all kinds of resources and they are super helpful.  My suggestion would be to take advantage of and utilize the resource as much as possible for the desired career.

Overall I've been very happy with the Springboard UX Design Career intensive! For the price it is a very thoughtfully structured and paced program to get theoretical and practical experience in this space, along with a lot of good person-to-person interaction.Pros:Works around your schedule - I was able to balance part time work + home life with this programDedicated mentor in UX space offering weekly and on demand feedbackIntelligently structured and organized - units plans make sense and are easy to followA robust remote community of active students and alumni to interact withGet a job or your money back guaranteeSeveral weekly Zoom meetups for career advancement and curriculum assistanceCons:If you're not self-motivated it could be difficult to stay on taskTime estimates for completing units can sometimes be a little underA base level of familiarity with the topic space and tools is critical - the program dives pretty quickly into some deep work

The UI/UX Career Track at Springboard is a 9 months part time course but allows you to do it at your own pace, and I've done it full-time in 3 months! The curriculum is abundant and in-depth. It builds you up step by step from a complete beginner (I'm from a HR background) to a junior designer with solid design knowledge and skills. The mentorship is definitely the most valuable part of the career track, as feedback and advice from an industry expert is 10 times more useful than working by yourself alone. Springboard has also created a welcoming community where students can help and learn from each other, with additional support from the student managers and career coaches. Now I'm ready to step into the real UX design world, and I'm really glad that I've chosen Springboard at the first place.

I have been a graphic designer for the last seven years but wanted to escape the design hamster wheel. It took me 7 months to complete this course while working a full time graphic design job. If you struggle with staying motivated, this course will be very difficult to complete since no one will keep you accountable to hit milestones. It requires a lot of self discipline. Having a weekly 30 minute mentor meeting via Zoom was very beneficial to me. I learned so much from him and it greatly enhanced the course for me. I really enjoyed this class overall and has been creating many more career opportunities for me.

From the mentors to the progression of course content, I felt Springboard was the best camp I could've selected to learn the essentials of UX and product design. What made the course so great was its see-then-do approach to learning, where you would learn course material in the units before directly applying them to your capstone project. It is also a case of getting out what you put in where Springboard and the mentors give each student all of the tools necessary to be great and it's up to the student's imagination to make something cool. I would definitely recommend this bootcamp to anyone who is interested in the UX domain. 

The course was great. Even though you do it all online and at your own pace, you feel very connected to other people. I had weekly calls with my mentor who is a UX expert, that was super helpful. We also have a Slack community where we can talk with other students, and a community mentor who is super helpful when we have questions. There are also career coaches who help you along the way as you prepare for the job search, and continue to help you for six months after you complete the program! There are also weekly office hours on Zoom where you can ask any questions. Everyone is super nice and helpful. I learned a lot in the course, and am excited to start looking for my first full time position as a UX Designer!

I just completed my 6-month online studies on User Experience Design. The curriculum was well organized with projects to motivate real-world practice. The mentorship has been a great assistance for me to receive guidance from the experts in the industry. The only downside was that I do not live in a job-guarantee city so the career/job assistance wasn't all applicable to me. Overall it has been a great learning experience.

This is a great course and the mentors were amazing. I highly recommend for anyone considering a career in UX design

I've done a lot of schooling, but nothing like Springboard before. I felt supported in every way. There were times I had imposter syndrome, and whether it was my mentor, or my career coach or other students, I felt like I could see this course through. This course is worth every penny. I feel extremely prepared. The support team is amazing and will help you in every step to be successful. 

I love the whole experience and the help that I received from Springboard. One-on-one mentoring is the best part of the course.

I enjoyed the Springboard UX Career Track program! Haven taken other UX design curriculums, Springboard’s coursework was much more up-to-date pulling a broad range of resources which I appreciated when thinking about real-world application. My mentor has become a life long mentor who was very supportive of my particular UX journey. I enjoyed that capstone and research projects which were more personalized compared to other UX programs I’ve participated in. This allowed me to stay highly engaged throughout the coursework.

Pros:
- Self-paced and flexible programming
- Optimal Resources 
- Unique project opportunities
- Responsive Staff

Cons:
- It could provide a more compelling and accurate pricing structure that reflects the average completion time for students.
