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.

Engaging, challenging, empowering
1:1 expert mentor oversight with weekly meetings is a massive advantage of this program. I loved being able to bounce thoughts and ideas off of my expert mentor regarding projects, concepts, job interviews, and design theory. Participating in the IDP was a fantastic way to get acquainted with the industry. The curriculum was fantastic, and the additional learning opportunities were vast. It was a great experience, and I feel thoroughly prepared to enter the job market. - Thelma OliverGraduate • Data Analytics Career Track • OnlineNov 13, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

From the initial phone contact for an interview to the last day of my program completion, the professionalism and support has been a wonderful experience.

Great UX/UI Experience
I signed up for the UI/UX Design Career Track at Springboard in February of 2022, and just finished the course this November. I really enjoyed my experience working through this course. Although I am used to learning in person, this course does a great job to provide personalized videos and chooses magazine articles that make you feel like you're in a classroom. There are tons of resources available built into the curriculum and a slew of mentors/coaches to talk to at the drop of a hat. ...I signed up for the UI/UX Design Career Track at Springboard in February of 2022, and just finished the course this November.

There are tons of resources available built into the curriculum and a slew of mentors/coaches to talk to at the drop of a hat. Not only are you paired with an industry professional mentor, but you also have the opportunity to book an additional call with on-demand mentors and book calls with career coaches that can help you throughout the course. The course is built to allow you to build out your portfolio and experience mock interviews for when you'll interview for a job. The coaches and mentors offer great feedback. At the end of the course you'll have the opportunity to work on a real life industry design problem with a few other Springboard students. Coming from a non-UI/UX background, I do truly feel like I learned a lot and have the resources to go back and explore the curriculum at any time if I wanted to. I think the feedback I received during the course was super helpful too. All in all I wouldn't change a thing about my experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn UI/UX Design. - Richard JacksonOperations Research Data Analyst • Graduate • Data Science Career Track • OnlineNov 11, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Springboard, UI / UX Design Career Track
Pros: The course is generally complete and helps people with no UI or UX foundation to reach the entry-level of the industry. Valuable are the weekly one-on-one meetings with mentors, mock interviews for careers, and the industry internship program. By completing the course, you will have a portfolio website and interview skills to find a job.

Cons: Most of the curriculum is a collection of articles from other websites, and some of the articles in the chapters are somewhat repetitive. The industry internship program is a bit of a test of luck, as you can get a great internship experience to put in your portfolio if you are matched with a nice company and teammates. If you are matched with a less organized company and teammates, you will get "real work experience."
Overall, I highly recommend the Springboard course for people who procrastinate and don't want to spend a lot of time looking for resources on their own. - Daniel HeoGraduate • Data Analytics Career Track • OnlineOct 14, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
SpringBoard will help you succeed
Springboard data analytics course is amazing. The course work is laid out well and they offer so many resources to help you finish the course. The best part of the course was the mentors. My mentor was so good at helping me when I was stuck and help me understand concepts and would give feedback like the real world. The course offers so much and I am really happy with my experience with them. - Jennifer ChristensenAssociate Product Designer • Graduate • UI / UX Design Career Track • OnlineOct 13, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great Curriculum
Overall I had a great experience with Springboard and I recommend it to people who work full time/have other obligations, but want to pursue a certification like this. I did the UI UX Design Career track and I finished in 10 months. It's advertised as 9 months but I took a vacation in the middle.

I did the UI UX Design Career track and I finished in 10 months. It's advertised as 9 months but I took a vacation in the middle. So I do think the way it's advertised, is an accurate length of time to complete it as long as you are motivated and doing the work. I have a job at a tech company and I've been able to do some design work for them already (I told them I was enrolled in the bootcamp). I also did a take-home design challenge for this company so that they would be able to gauge if I was ready to be a designer. They said verbatim, that the bootcamp is working. So the curriculum is definitely teaching good things. I love the structure of it because it's all remote, you don't need to be online at specific times necessarily so you can go at your own pace and watch videos/read articles to learn. You meet with a mentor once a week. But you can always get other mentorship on-demand from other mentors. Overall each bootcamp is just like anything else - you need to work hard and practice to get good at something. If you aren't motivated you won't do well. The curriculum teaches you the basics of everything you need to know. But if you don't actually practice the skills you won't do well. I've seen some great portfolios and some bad ones - you need to do the work if you want to get a job after. I think Springboard preps students very well overall. But you need to do the work. PROS
Fully remote - great for people like me who also work full time and want to pursue another career.Industry Design Project - This was what made me choose springboard. They pair you with a real company for one month and you do real design work with that company. This comes with many real world challenges so it does prepare you for things you'll face in a real job. I had a great experience during mine, and I was paired with a very nice startup company. However, there were multiple challenges that I didn't really see coming and this is super important to actually prep you for the real world. Very valuable experience.
CONS
Now that I've done real design work for a company I feel that I can speak to this more: I wish the curriculum focused more on design systems, perhaps making students use a specific design system such as Material UI for a capstone project. In the real world you will usually be using the company's design system anyway, not making components from scratch. The curriculum does not really teach this, just gives a very brief overview of what design systems are. Figma - some students complained that the curriculum doesn't teach you how to use a tool like Figma. They point you to youtube videos. I can see how this might be challenging for some students but in the real world you will need to learn on your own anyway at a company. So I don't think this is much of a con. Just something to be aware of. I learned Figma through a mentor and youtube videos. On demand mentorship - It's great that you can get additional mentorship outside of the mentor that is assigned to you. However it's not truly 'on demand' in the sense that it's not same day, or next day. They book up quickly so you might end up scheduling an on-demand mentor call 2 weeks in advance or something. - Arturo Bravo MonsalvoData Scientist • Graduate • Data Science Career Track • OnlineOct 12, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Springboard Really Lives Up To Its Name!
I found the Springboard program to be an amazing resource for me. As a professional graphic designer prior to expanding into the field of UX/UI design by way of the bootcamp, I found myself learning many new things that I had not previously learned in school. The mentors and career coaches were also great highlights of the program as well. They were very helpful and instrumental in my success. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is looking for a good bootcamp program. - Natalie TeradaGraduate • UI / UX Design Career Track • OnlineOct 11, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great experience!
A big reason I chose Springboard was for the mentorship they offer. My mentor (who is an experienced UX designer) was nothing but supportive and encouraging throughout. I have heard of other students with mentors that they didn’t have a great experience with. However, Springboard has a VERY responsive support team, and I’m sure they’d be quick to act on that if it’s ever brought up. They are very friendly and accommodating.

My mentor (who is an experienced UX designer) was nothing but supportive and encouraging throughout. I have heard of other students with mentors that they didn’t have a great experience with. However, Springboard has a VERY responsive support team, and I’m sure they’d be quick to act on that if it’s ever brought up. They are very friendly and accommodating. Mentor meetings occur once a week, and my mentor gave me feedback on my four projects, job advice, my portfolio, and more. I honestly don’t know where I’d be without a mentor.
In addition, we had career coach calls with recruiters in the tech industry that were really educational as well. I feel more of these could have been beneficial for us, but I also haven’t experienced any of the post-completion coach calls, which are every two weeks to report how the job search and networking is going, and to get tips/feedback. It seems like the program genuinely cares about us even post-certification, rather than just sending us off in the discouraging-at-times job search. I haven’t experienced the job guarantee “rules” yet, but there are a few parameters (which seem reasonable to me) to follow in order for the job guarantee to apply. I also really benefitted from the mock interviews. I feel I got a good general idea of what to expect. They were realistic and I genuinely can’t imagine finishing a UX bootcamp without knowing how the interviews run (including whiteboard challenges).
Finding a program that was self-paced was important to me for two reasons: the first being that I was in a different timezone, so online live classes to attend was not realistic for me. Second, I found other bootcamps that were just 4 months. While that may be advantageous for those who are rushing to get a job, I didn’t want to rush my projects and portfolio creation. Since this was my first time learning about UX, I wanted to soak all the learning in without rushing too much. And I’m so glad I did. It’s a lot harder than people think to discipline yourself to complete the course with a goal in mind (eg: I wanted to finish in 6 months, as I didn’t have a full-time job and could devote all my time to the course, but instead it took +/- 12 months!)
Another plus was that articles we had to read were mostly written by professionals in the field AND written with personality, vs a textbook reading. It made learning much more enjoyable and kept us in the current trends of design. Again, I can’t speak on how my post-completion experience as I’m just beginning, but I can’t imagine it being really negative thanks to Springboard’s support. - Lyndsay GangStudent • UI / UX Design Career Track • OnlineOct 11, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great mentorship & coaching
The best part of Springboard is the mentorship. My mentor provided me with weekly feedback & was a sounding board for my concerns. She was excellent, and I know I wouldn't have gotten a great experience without her. I also really enjoyed the industry design project- where I got placed with a real company and got to practice my new skills in a real world environment. - Yan LinGraduate • Data Analytics Career Track • OnlineOct 11, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
