I never realize that I needed a mentor
The program content was standard, it's meant to make students more comfortable in searching for answers by themselves. I believe what you are truly paying for is its mentorship program, which is awesome! My mentor taught me how the real world actually focus on for skills, how a data science team uses agile methodology, what his typical day in work is like, and a lot of real world examples to expand my horizon on data science while keeping me accountable in this study journey. - Kara BrandonGraduate • UI / UX Design Career Track • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJan 09, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
UI/UX
I am thankful for my time with Springboard. There is no doubt that I have leveled-up my skills as a designer, and have increased my value to teams--it follows that there is a sizable pay increase for the types of roles I am now qualified to fill. Coming into the bootcamp, I made it clear that there would only be value on my investment if I created good work, honed marketable skills and took it upon myself to work as hard as I can to create good work and get noticed.

There is no doubt that I have leveled-up my skills as a designer, and have increased my value to teams--it follows that there is a sizable pay increase for the types of roles I am now qualified to fill. Coming into the bootcamp, I made it clear that there would only be value on my investment if I created good work, honed marketable skills and took it upon myself to work as hard as I can to create good work and get noticed. I think it's important to understand that your bootcamp alone is not going to land you a job. The effectiveness of your work will get you noticed, and your work with career advisers to ace interviews alongside finding an awesome culture fit and industry you can get excited about will combine to land you a role. I have heard this in multiple job interviews, that the reason I'm in the interview is because of the quality work in comparison to other bootcamp grads who don't have a design background. This is especially true if you're into UI, less so for UX.
I do feel the curriculum and the projects set students up to create the right types of work to get hired. As a designer, I brought a healthy amount of design skills to the program, and I think that really helps throughout the course and job hunt. I do feel it was more challenging for fellow students without a design background to cram design skills into their work while learning the value of UX. The most valuable project is your Industry project, where you'll be matched with a company to help them solve some UI/UX issues--this is really valuable and acts as an internship inside your bootcamp. I really loved my industry team and felt it added a good project to my portfolio.
I had a great mentor who offered really fair and measured advice. She also creates her own content and has an awesome portfolio with large brands, so I immediately felt that lent to the value of the course.
Overall, Springboard launched some great opportunities for me, and I would recommend it for students in design and/or students who wouldn't mind working a bit harder to learn design basics to then apply to their UX work - Lauren JoyProduct Designer • Graduate • UI / UX Design Career Track • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJan 09, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
UI/UX Career Track - Life Changer
To preface this review, I began this program with a background in a very specific area of design outside of tech. I had experience with design thinking and collaboration, just not in a corporate setting. I signed up for the UI/UX career course because of how comprehensive it seemed to be. I wanted to make sure that when I completed my certification that it would really land me in a position to feel comfortable taking a job in the field.

I had experience with design thinking and collaboration, just not in a corporate setting. I signed up for the UI/UX career course because of how comprehensive it seemed to be. I wanted to make sure that when I completed my certification that it would really land me in a position to feel comfortable taking a job in the field. It took me the entirety of 2020 to complete the program (I took some breaks and extensions) but I accepted a job offer within a week of completing the course. The job offer was exactly what I was hoping for when I was working on the program and I know that the extra time and energy that I put into the course allowed me to get the role. This course will give you what you put into it. You have to put in the work and you have to advocate for yourself. Take advantage of mentorship and career guidance. Don't cut corners with your portfolio. Stay focused. If you do, this course can change your life like it did for me. - Rukmini NatarajanStudent • UX Career Track • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJan 08, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
UX Career Track
Getting into the UX Design Field was a dream for me. It is a field which I am extremely passionate about. I was at a stage where I wanted to do a proper course but not a full length graduation for more than 2 years. My main priority was also not just the course material but would I be taught the things that are necessary in a working environment.

It is a field which I am extremely passionate about. I was at a stage where I wanted to do a proper course but not a full length graduation for more than 2 years. My main priority was also not just the course material but would I be taught the things that are necessary in a working environment. That's when I started researching about Courses and came across Springboard. Of all the courses I listed down, Springboard was the most flexible I could find to fit into my schedule. Initially it was just the basic/Foundation of UX. But as I went deeper and deeper, I felt like I was studying and managing a project in a working environment. At the end, I got the opportunity to do a project in a proper company and get the feel of utilising what I learnt in the course to solve a real-life company problem. I have to admit, despite doing the huge capstone, I was still scared, wondering What If I am not able to solve their problem or what If I do things that might be embarrassing. But the mentors and student advisors were there every step of the way calming my rapidly beating heart. But once I got into the company, things just came out smoothly, that's when I truly started appreciating the course on how well it prepared me to do this job, and thoroughly enjoying it during the process. All this I was able to do while having a baby and taking care of him afterwards. That's another reason I am glad I chose Springboard. Once I became pregnant after the course, I had only 6 months time to finish it, but I was gonna have a baby and everything. That's when I reached out to Springboard telling them my concerns. Not only did they take my situation into consideration, but understood my predicament, and tailored the course around my schedule so that I may complete the course and start applying for a job. They told me, they understand how difficult it would be for a person who is having a baby, take care of them, and come back into the job market. Which is why, they would like to help me in anyway to prepare me to get a job. For that I am filled with gratitude. Thankyou Springboard for this and for making me have a good portfolio. - JOYJIT CHOWDHURYSenior Data Engineer • Graduate • Machine Learning Engineering Career Track • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJan 06, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

An excellent endeavor with awesome mentors
The curriculum was good especially since we were given the opportunity to practice what we had learned through two capstone projects, a design sprint, and an industry design project. What really made it worth it though was the weekly feedback from the mentor. - Robert BennettData Analyst • Graduate • Data Analytics Career Track • OnlineVerified by LinkedInDec 30, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

A Confidence Building Experience
The entire course at Springboard was such a great experience, from beginning to end. The research not only allowed me to expand my knowledge, but it taught me how to self-learn.
Originally, I had enrolled in a UX Bootcamp with UCI, and planned to attend in person classes. However, when COVID came about, they moved their entire course online, and didn't alter the 12,000 tuition. I wasn't sure how prepared UCI would be to conduct remote classes, and if they would be able to offer ...The entire course at Springboard was such a great experience, from beginning to end. The research not only allowed me to expand my knowledge, but it taught me how to self-learn.
Originally, I had enrolled in a UX Bootcamp with UCI, and planned to attend in person classes. However, when COVID came about, they moved their entire course online, and didn't alter the 12,000 tuition. I wasn't sure how prepared UCI would be to conduct remote classes, and if they would be able to offer the same value as if it had been in person. When I called them, I received no change in the tuition for a fully remote course, and little help. This reception changed my mind about the course, and with much difficulty sought to get back my downpayment as the course was no longer the same. I decided to look for a course that was intended to be online, as I was hoping that they would have a curriculum built around the online factor.
I researched multiple schools, and settled on Springboard as it was reputed for a wealth of curriculum and resources. My introductory phone call went so well, and the woman I spoke with expressed sympathy for my complications with my UCI Bootcamp. The tuition for my UX Career Track was half of the tuition for UCI, which would now be the in the same format.
I was wary of the online factor, and wasn't sure if I would be able to find motivation to keep up with my work. When I began, it seemed as though Springboard already knew the struggles of working from home. The best thing that cut against my procrastination was having a mentor who I met with once a week. Every week I wanted to have accomplished something new to show him, and have moved forward in the course. In addition, one of my favorite little things was that there was a little note on each section, saying how long it took to complete the section. It became a game for me, seeing how quickly I could complete the section, trying to beat the time. (While still retaining the information I learned.) Springboard drew from a wealth of resources, and offering me viewpoints from websites I had never heard of, I learned of sources I could continue to tap for information.
My UX course took me through the design process, taught me how to think about it, my mentor refined my process, and at the end of the day, left me feeling equipped beyond what I thought possible. In addition, there were career calls throughout the course that taught me how other professionals responded to me, and built my confidence so much. I felt like the course successfully brought me, not to the end of the course, but to the start of my career. I was brought into the world of UX Professionals, and accepted as one of them.
I have and will continue to recommend Springboard to people around me. The course gave me a strong foundation, and boosted my confidence to view myself as a UX Designer, and an industry professional. - Ryan DunnGraduate • UX Career Track • OnlineVerified by LinkedInDec 26, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
UX Design Career Track
Overall, I really liked the UX Career Track course with Springboard. I spent a little over $7,000 and am now preparing for the job search. Like most online programs, I think the experience is what you make it. I enjoyed the help from my mentors along the way and really felt supported. If I had questions, they always pointed me towards helpful resources.

If I was to do it all over again I would schedule a 1:1 mentor call each day on top of my weekly mentor call. The daily mentor call people can help you with anything but you only get 1 a day.

UX / UI
The courses mainly consist of videos and articles to be read and watched. This may seem counterproductive, but in the long term, one realizes that the organization of the work has been designed to maximize the assimilation of knowledge - everything has been distributed according to a precise agenda, which presents successive objectives in the same way as a game (with progress bar, etc).

Following your own progress week after week, taking a review each time with your mentor is fun, exciting and above all very effective. You find yourself absorbing a significant amount of knowledge in a very short period of time.
Just be warned that the UX / UI course is quite dense, and should not be taken lightly. The training is well worth the investment if you do it seriously.
Last precision : I think that the courses proposed by Springboard are mostly valued in the United States. In Europe, few people seems to know this institution. It's unfortunate, but people are starting to do the same thing here - which is a good sign in regards of quality. - Yvonne ChenGraduate • UX Career Track • OnlineVerified by LinkedInDec 23, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The process of going through each unit was pretty fluid and Springboard continues to make improvements to the user experience of their platform for everyone no matter what section they’re on. The advisors always get back to me whenever I had questions. Something that I hope they add to the curriculum is a feature that either shows a call-to-action if a work submitted for a unit was approved or not. Sometimes I submit work and turns out I need to go back to make edits when I’m already on the next unit. Also when it came to moving on to the IDP, I didn’t know that I had to email my advisor. So maybe adding a button in the IDP unit to confirm that the student is ready to start the IDP could make it easier.
I just completed the UX Career Track, which took me more than 6 months because I was working full time. I ended up leaving my job because 1) I wasn’t happy, and 2) I didn’t have the capacity to balance both responsibilities. I was fortunate to be living with my parents at the time so it made it easier to just focus on school rather than needing a job to pay for rent.
