I wasn't sure how'd I'd feel after graduation, but I can say I feel confident and prepared going into applying for jobs. The career coaches and mentors are really unmatched, they have such a passion for helping students break into the industry and are so knowledgable with many aspects of the career transition.
The best part of the course was the industry design project where you are placed on a real company to complete a project. I'm so thankful for SB because now I am officially interning with the startup company that I was placed on.
If you are in between choosing a bootcamp - go with Springboard. Transitioning into a new career can be overwhelming, but SB has made me feel supported all the way through.

Amazing
I had an amazing time at Springboard! The learning curriculum is up-to-date, the instructor is a fantastic teacher, mentors are highly knowledgeable and students are given a lot of time - if they need it - to practice what they are being taught. Students are not being played false with the job guarantee and they are given all the information required to study and pass their 4 mock interviews to secure the job guarantee! - Michael WardSenior Risk Data Analyst • Graduate • Data Science Career Track • OnlineOct 01, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great curriculum and support
I chose the Springboard Data Science Career Track because it had great reviews, a job offer guarantee, and it had the most in-depth training program with over 500 hours of training material and 14 projects including 3 capstone projects to share with potential employers.

Springboard assigns a mentor that you meet with on a weekly basis. My mentor is fantastic and helped me to get a job with his company. The training is self-paced and all remote, so I was able to complete most of it while traveling the country in my RV. The program is a bit expensive compared to some others, but all the benefits are definitely worth the cost especially considering that they will give you your money back if you don't get a job offer in the Data Science field. - Julia SchwartzGraduate • UI / UX Design Career Track • OnlineSep 30, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Springboard also provides extra resources such as job coaches, servers with other students and other help sources.

This is a review for the Springboard Data Science Track. I started this track shortly before finishing my Master's in Physics. I was looking at various job prospects and found that data science would be the best track for me in light of my interests and skills. I think the program does prepare you well, at least from the perspective that you feel like you have some grounding in data science before you start your first job/start the job application process.
The bootcamp is more of a content aggregator, i.e. much of the content is pulled online or obtained for free. There are a few things that might possibly make it worth the money.
1. They have a high-level understanding of what the necessary skills are, and how well versed you need to be in them. If you are like me, you find a lot of the advice online unhelpful: starting your job search by slogging through a 500-page book on the statistical theory behind machine learning models is probably not going to be that helpful. Therefore, having a guided hand through the learning process can be very valuable.
2. They set you up with a mentor. I initially had mentor problems, but eventually I was set up with a mentor who worked great with me. The mentor can both give you encouragement and direction. Talking with them will help you "speak the language" so that you can communicate well during interviews. Finally, they know what projects will help you stand out/be helpful for your learning.
3. They push you to setup a LinkedIn and push the job application process strongly in general. For someone who only ever did research in university, the prospect of making a LinkedIn, making a resume to send to companies, and showing up to interviews was an intimidating and opaque process (silly in retrospect, I know). Springboard will push you to get it all done.
Obviously, the program is not perfect. The program is expensive, and results will vary by typical factors like motivation, talent, and plain old luck. My analysis of the community is that there is a group of people who struggle with the material, and, much more importantly, struggle to get the first job (I have no stats on this population, but they are very visible). This also contributes to the general atmosphere of uncertainty and desperation that, as you might imagine, plagues your cohort as they are scrambling to find jobs. Please take keep in mind that the program will not work by magic (finishing the program is not enough) and examine critically whether you fit the "target" of a new data scientist.
That being said, I did land an amazing job shortly before finishing the program, well beyond my expectations! Given that, I can only criticize the program so harshly, as I see the final result of the program as being extremely good! Overall, Springboard worked extremely well for me, so I would give it a hearty (but cautious) recommendation. - Michael LueckerData Analyst • Graduate • Data Analytics Career Track • OnlineSep 20, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Highly Recommend - Pivoted From Sales
The best part about Springboard is the ongoing mentorship and the on-demand mentorship calls. I am a data analyst who pivoted from sales. I upskilled into Python and SQL which required big mental shifts, trying to learn this stuff on your own is doable, but the projects you receive and get to showcase to recruiters is INVALUABLE. If you want to set yourself apart, I would highly recommend you consider Springboard as your #1 option. Good Luck! - Val GryshakovData Analyst • Data Science Career Track • OnlineSep 16, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The projects are well designed and really help me on understanding the basic concepts of some advanced technologies such as, map/reduce, airflow, kafka, etc (It is worth mentioning that I have used other courses to teach myself kafka, airflow, and was not able to mastered it). The mentor is very helpful. He was not only supervising finishing the projects but also helping me understand some most concepts, like OOP, SOLID. He also helped me to complete a capstone project which is about creating data lake from scratch, using different technologies, Python, Spark, Snowflake, Tableau . A fun project from which I have learned a lot. I haven't started job hunting. I feel their support for career is very strong. - Kep KaeppelerSoftware Developer • Graduate • Software Engineering Career Track • OnlineSep 06, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I am a recent graduate of the Software Engineering Career Track. This program focuses on full-stack web development and will guide the student to a strong understanding of in-demand software engineering skills that are found in a high percentage of job listings.
One-on-one mentoring was one of the most important features for me. I was matched with a mentor that I met with weekly (virtually) who reviewed all of my work, answered questions, made corrections and suggestions, as well as pointed me to additional resources, and guided me on my path. In addition to my personal mentor’s code reviews and instruction, I was given the opportunity to have other mentors give me code reviews of some of the larger curriculum projects which were valuable for getting additional perspectives and becoming comfortable with code reviews in general. The video lectures are put together well and come with study notes. There are many project assignments that are thoughtfully put together and challenging. The capstone projects have become features in my portfolio.
There is a series of mock interviews that you prepare for and must pass that is an invaluable experience: Behavioral, Project code walk-through, Technical, and whiteboard. This process is very helpful to the interview process
The career services and support are top-notch. Throughout the course, there are career modules to work on so that upon graduation the student is ready to begin the job search that includes resume and cover letter building, networking, and LinkedIn optimization. Post graduation you work with a career coach for 6 months (with available free extensions) to guide you on your job search, prepare you for behavioral interviews, teach you to use the many online resources available, help with job offer negotiations, etc.
There is a job guarantee which offers tuition reimbursement if a job is not secured in 6 months and the graduate stays compliant with standards of job search requirements.

I was lost after graduating and I am confident saying Springboard was very helpful in getting me my confidence and motivation back.

Solid Curriculum, Really Helpful Mentor
I had actually worked as a professional Data Engineer prior to enrolling in this bootcamp, but the database I focused on was highly specialized and proprietary technology, and I wanted to shore up my skills in the more general open-source technologies that are widely used throughout the tech industry (python, sql, spark, airflow, cloud, etc).

I had always felt confident to google such subjects when I needed to get a one-off job done, but I was well aware that my work was likely rife with hidden inefficiencies, tacky stylistic choices, and affronts to established convention. The problem with that kind of learning is that you "don't know what you don't know". This is what I hoped a formal education in Data Engineering subjects would afford me - a comprehensive understanding of the most essential technologies for Data Engineers today.
I can say that Springboard did pay off in that respect. I feel confident to not just speak about those elements of tech, but I know the pros and cons of each of them. Because you get experience with multiple Capstone projects that are indicative of industry assignmemts, I also feel confident with my skills in execution while using any of these technologies - despite having zero experience in many of them prior to Springboard.
My mentor, Karthik, went above and beyond to make sure things were going smoothly for me - even when he wouldn't have been expected to. - Rachel AmatoUX Designer • Graduate • UX Career Track • OnlineAug 20, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I did not qualify for the job guarantee, but they also offer that if you qualify. My mentor was knowledgeable and flexible with scheduling our calls which I appreciated because I work full time. As someone with no prior experience in design, I wish there was a little more guidance and support with learning the actual design tools. Otherwise, I made it through the course without too much difficulty. What I actually found most helpful was the information I learned about networking and job hunting. The career coaching is an excellent perk. A good career coach alone could cost what this entire course costs! I would definitely recommend the course to others, especially if you make an effort to utilize all of the resources they offer. I wish I attended more office hours calls and did took advantage of the unlimited mentor calls, but I was just too busy with other things going on in my life.
