This program pushed my skillsets to a new level!

The UX/UI curriculum was incredibly robust, well designed, and planned out in a way that made the learning process comprehensive and engaging. I found that the projects themselves were clear and I enjoyed how much freedom I was given to make each design my own. I enjoyed working with and appreciate the amount of support Springboard provided and utilized all resources at different stages of the curriculum. It was extremely helpful to have my mentor, student advisor, career advisor and slack community to lean on! I would say the toughest parts of the course were times when I got too in my head about my designs and had to take a step back or lean on outside critiques. There were times where I felt somewhat alone when making design decisions for each project, which makes me even more excited to work on a team within the industry. I would encourage any new student to reach out to the slack community and not only ask for peer reviews/help but to offer the same in return. I made a handful of connections through the program and am satisfied with my experience!

Springboard UX/UI course

Springboard really prepared me to go into the world and apply the skills that acquired through the course. The course is structured beautifully and allows the student to learn the ins and out of the UX UI world. They also provide you with a mentor, who can guide you and help you understand the hard topics. Highly recommend this course to everyone.

Highly recommend

I recently completed the Springboard UX bootcamp, and as a newcomer to the field, I found the curriculum incredibly accessible. The helpful tips and structured learning enabled me to grasp new concepts, practice effectively, and acquire essential skills. The practical exercises boosted my confidence significantly. The personalized mentor-student relationship proved invaluable, while weekly office hours facilitated interaction with peers, boosting my confidence, and fostering a supportive environment. The team's prompt responses, guidance, and the included IDP for real-world experience made this program highly recommendable.

Good experience, not a magic switch

Mentors and career coaches are great resources, but you will largely be teaching yourself the hard skills. I definitely feel very confident in my abilities, but finding work in the field can be very difficult even with this certificate.

Mentors and coaches made the experience

I recently completed the UI/UX Design Career course with Springboard and it was generally a positive experience. The course itself is mostly made up of links to articles and websites, and while those were helpful, it made for some confusing moments when it came time to complete assignments as the information given and the assignment requirements didn't line up. The most valuable aspect of the course was the direct feedback from mentors, and my weekly 1-on-1 mentor calls in which mine would talk about his experiences in the industry and give advice. I will say the course is overpriced for what it is- but they are in the middle of a rebrand and making changes to the course, so maybe it's more up-to-date information now and worth the higher price tag? I'm looking forward to the career coaching and support that comes now that I've completed the course, I'm hoping it will help me get my foot in the door in an industry that was hit hard by recent layoffs.

I highly recommend!

When I started the program, I was concerned it wouldn't be immersive enough to prepare for an actual career in the field. However, after receiving my certification, I am confident I am ready for my first UX job! The coursework is challenging but doable since your mentor is with you every step of the way. The large projects are broken up nicely into smaller sections, making it seem less daunting. Overall, I had a great experience with my weekly mentor meetings, the curriculum, the projects, and the career coaching. I also loved that I got a month of real-world experience at their end, through the IDP (industry design project). I also appreciate that there is a job search guarantee, meaning they will refund your tuition after 6 months without landing a job (providing you meet the monthly job search requirements.) Definitely a good value for the tuition cost, too! Overall, I strongly recommend Springboard if you are looking for UX/UI boot camp!

Great Experience, Would Recommend

I completed the UX/UI Design Career track and overall I had a great experience. It gave me the tools and foundation to transition into UX/UI design. The pros: one on one mentorship via weekly calls, student community to bounce ideas off of and seek additional help, peer support,  and access to virtual workshops. There is also the IDP which gives you the opportunity to work on a real life scenario for a company and allows you to gain real life experience. There is also a career curriculum that it is pretty thorough in terms of getting you ready for the job market. If I had to choose a con it would be that I would have liked a little more hand holding while learning Figma.

Empowering, Insightful, Transformative, Career-Driven, Exceptional

crawling, to baby steps, to walking, to running!

Wow what a course.  I've never taken an online course before but the curriculum is set up in a modern way to where you consume the information via blogs and videos.  Most of the content was made by regular people so it's easy to follow and understand.  The course is also intertwined with network training in between the curriculum to keep things new and interesting.  Pairing with a mentor and meeting up every week was what sold me.  Asking unlimited questions and going through my work by someone who is senior and active in the industry was worth it by itself.  Then meeting with career coaches to go over elevator pitches, resumes, portfolio interviews, etc...to go through real life scenarios and give tips and tricks to prepare what to expect in the real world was a plus.  Springboard went overboard when pairing with a career coach post graduation and checking up and strategizing every week to see how the job hunting is going.  5 stars!

Overall, I had a great experience.

The curriculum was well-structured and covered all the necessary topics to become a UX/UI designer. I appreciated the 1-on-1 mentoring sessions, which allowed me to get personalized feedback on my work and progress.
What I liked most about the program was the student community. It was great to be able to connect with other students and learn from their experiences. The industry project that Springboard provided gave me a chance to apply what I had learned to a real-world project and build my portfolio.
Overall, I would recommend Springboard UX/UI Career Track Bootcamp to anyone looking to start a career in UX/UI design or improve their skills in this field. The program is well worth the investment and the support provided by the Springboard team is exceptional.

springboard

I made a career transition from accounting to product design. Initially, I was unsure about my decision, but the one-month trial program provided me with the opportunity to dip my toes in the water and experience the mentorship facilities. After that trial period, I felt confident enough to enroll in the UI/UX career track course. The program was fast-paced, but having access to on-demand mentors available 24/7 was a significant advantage for me. Throughout my journey, I received wonderful help and support from the mentors. My assigned mentor was extremely knowledgeable, and the actionable feedback and suggestions I received during the course demonstrated their expertise. Overall, I highly recommend Springboard and their courses to anyone looking to pursue a career in this field

Good information and learning platform.

The bootcamp was definitely thorough and well planned out. The externship is a great way to get hands on experience. It took longer to complete than anticipated. It was difficult to find a mentor that was both knowledgeable and encouraging. However, student services were always helpful and supportive.

Great bootcamp to attend

I attended Springboard's UI/UX Career Track, and it has been a great experience. I have always had a passion for design and psychology, and this program brought it all together for me. They provided great support and a mentor that I would work with once a week, more if needed, who was wonderful. I am excited for this career change and feel confident that I will find a great position soon.

Challenging but doable

I found the boot camp to be challenging but very doable. They offer several time extensions for those that feel they need it or if you want to take a break. The projects really pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me develop skills that I need to find a job. I wish the boot camp included more help on the UI, and in learning to use other design tools beside figma or XD. A lot of designers also use illustrator but if you don’t come form a design field you won’t know how to use these. Also, the time requirement for each project could be more accurate. I work 10 hour days and had no previous UI experience, so completing high fidelity designs took me a bit longer.

Springboard Experience!

I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Springboard! The curriculum content was well-structured, allowing for a gradual progression from foundational concepts to more advanced topics. The inclusion of case studies and technical projects significantly reinforced my learning experience. Additionally students gain real world experience making job placement a smoother process. The expertise of the curriculum and career mentors at Springboard was exceptional. Their deep knowledge in the field and dedication to student success shone through in their provision of timely and insightful feedback on projects. Their guidance was instrumental in overcoming challenges encountered throughout the course. Moreover, the availability of mentors round-the-clock ensured that I never remained stuck for long, as help was readily accessible. My time at Springboard has been incredibly educational, equipping me with an abundance of knowledge in UX/UI. I now feel confidently prepared to enter the real-world job market in this field. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Springboard to anyone seeking a top-notch learning experience in UX/UI design.

UX/UI Bootcamp Review - great bootcamp for beginners

I'd recommend Springboard because of its unwavering support throughout my journey. I had zero experience in UX/UI design when first started, and almost a year later, I feel confident in having learned the fundamentals of great product design. My mentor, Daria, played a huge role in my growth as a designer and gave honest feedback on my portfolio. They have career coaches that will give you great tips for networking and salary negotiation when it comes time to find a job.  I felt fully supported by the Springboard community, and the support center is quick in answering emails (all my emails/questions were answered in less than 24 hours). Springboard went beyond expectations by providing excellent starting points for design principles. I think the more effort you invest, the greater the rewards. It's an ideal choice for beginners seeking to pivot into the UX/UI design field.

UX/UI Career Track

I have positive experience taking this course. I just completed it and have not found a job yet, but i have learn a lot. It took me a year to complete the program due to my schedule and personal matters. Springboard is very flexible and allowed me to take some breaks and extend the program so I could finish it. I had a weekly call with a mentor that Springboard matched for me and she was amazing. She was the big part of me being able to complete the program. I am really grateful for her.A lot of articles and reading materials were outdated though. But I find their assignments reasonable and helpful.Overall, I recommend Springboard UX/UI career track.

My bootcamp experience

The mixture of assignments, including hands-on exercises and projects, made the learning experience enjoyable. It served as an excellent introduction to design sprints and the design thinking process. Through this bootcamp, I gained valuable insights into my design preferences and long-term aspirations. The support I received from my experienced mentor was invaluable. Despite being a beginner, his patience and encouragement helped me tremendously. I highly recommend this bootcamp to individuals seeking additional assistance and guidance, rather than attempting to learn these concepts independently.
