I joined the Software Carrer track. The topics covered and the technologies learned are all real-world relevant. The lectures are easy to understand. And the projects are a lot of fun with lots of practice. And the great thing is weekly Mentor and On-demand Mentor support. If you get stuck on some problems you will get the best response and support from the Mentor as well as from the TA's. The career coach support is great.- Dakota MeridaUX Designer • Graduate • UI / UX Design Career Track • OnlineJan 31, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
UX/UI Design Career Path
An in depth 9 month UI/UX boot camp covering 3 projects and an IDP to give real world experience to students. I found the mentor program to be extremely helpful in guiding my learning experience as well as gaining insight into how the industry works. Would definitely recommend Springboard to a friend looking to get into the UI/UX field. - Bridget Morant, PhDStudent • Data Analytics Career Track • OnlineJan 29, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Data Analytics Career Track
Springboard provides a thorough curriculum for data analysis and covers a lot of the fundamentals of project design and framework, statistics, economics and presentation types. The case studies help put everything into context but it is on you to really utilize your mentor when you have questions or want to approach the problem in a different method.

The case studies help put everything into context but it is on you to really utilize your mentor when you have questions or want to approach the problem in a different method. I'm a PhD economist with a lot of experience across roles/industries. I knew that I needed Python skills and a higher level of SQL knowledge/experience to compete in the job market for the positions I want to have. Springboard helped me level up on that side of the playing field. My student advisors went above and beyond to help me complete the course through health issues and then a semester of teaching 5 university economics courses. The value of the resources was so impressive, coaches and office hours provided so much more than I expected. - Jonathan LampkinGraduate • Data Science Career Track • OnlineJan 28, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

As someone who had no technical skills coming into the course, Springboard made learning easy and motivating. The curriculum was designed in a way to actively teach relevant technical skills and reinforce knowledge through projects.

My mentor was amazing and helped me dive deeper into my learning by providing me industry level perspective and knowledge. My career coach helped me gain confidence and navigate the job market. The student support was very responsive to any questions or requests I had during the course. And, there was even 1:1 on demand mentor calls for when I was stuck on a project mid-week and wanted help before my weekly mentor call. Because of all the support and well-designed curriculum I was able to get a great job offer quickly despite having no work experience or previous technical knowledge! I am confident that the technical skills and statistical knowledge obtained in this course will set me up for success in my Data Science career. I highly recommend the course for anyone who is considering switching into Data Science! - Merlin BennyUX/UI Designer • Graduate • UI / UX Design Career Track • OnlineJan 25, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

UI/UX design career track
Springboard does an excellent job of walking you through the process of becoming certified in your field of choice (I chose UI/UX design). Each session is a buildup of the knowledge you have accumulated up to that point, then that knowledge is applied to the project/prototype that you develop. But don't worry, you have a mentor (a professional working in the field) to guide you through the process which in my case was flawless with Aleya.

But don't worry, you have a mentor (a professional working in the field) to guide you through the process which in my case was flawless with Aleya. Another helpful resource is having your completed work reviewed by actual hiring managers. This perk will give you the feedback needed to make improvements or the confidence needed to know that you have made the right decision in your field of choice moving forward. Last but not least, you have the job guarantee option. If you pass the course and start to search for a job, they guarantee with their assistance that you will find a job or the course is free. I repeat free. You can't beat that. Applying to Springboard is one of the best decisions I could have ever made for my career. I would definitely encourage those interested in advancing their career to give it a shot. You won't be disappointed. - Nina LawsonGraduate • UI / UX Design Career Track • OnlineJan 20, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

2. The opportunities to find support are amazing. Advisors are there to help you along your journey and assist in any issues you may be having, career coaching during and after the program, extra mentorship is available, there's a great support network amongst other students, office hours, and opportunities to sign up for workshops.
3. The content of what I learned was organized and helped me understand and practice UX concepts efficiently.
4. I enjoyed the projects I worked on.
CONS
1. Some of the information could be repetitive, and it made it hard to time-box and prioritize importance.
2. The time-boxing provided by the school does not always meet the need of students who are also working full time, have family commitments, or have other time-intensive situations.
3. I would have liked to work on my portfolio earlier on in the program, instead of at the end. I think that would have been valuable. I could have easily added projects as I went along, instead of all at once, and been applying for jobs earlier.
Overall, it was a great experience and I'm glad to have learned a new skill. - Jimin NgoUX Designer • Student • UI / UX Design Career Track • OnlineJan 18, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Good practice course
Springboard was a great starting point for me when I was just starting to learn about the UX industry. I was interning within my company for the product design team, and I wanted the technical skills/other background information to be better prepared for a future position. The online course is self-paced so if you're not motivated to push through the work on your own, this part might be difficult. You get weekly mentor calls which helped keep me accountable.

The cost of the course has gone up quite a bit since I enrolled (back in 2020) but I felt a lot more prepared to apply for jobs afterwards, and having a knowledgeable mentor helped me get real world expertise. The course is a well curated compilation of articles/videos, but the UI exercises were a little harder for me to connect with. Capstone 1 dragged on as well (due to needing to learn ALL the skills necessary) so you lose a little motivation, but once you finish that, the rest of the projects go by quick! I really do believe the mentorship was the most valuable part of the course. - Elaine ChanUI/UX Design Career Track • Graduate • OnlineJan 17, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Jumpstarted me in the right direction
After researching all the different bootcamps out there (and trust me, there's a lot!), I decided to go with Springboard because of the overall great reviews and the best features: self-paced flexibility and one-on-one mentor support. I felt like everyone who I interacted with on the Springboard team was really helpful and truly wanted me to succeed--that's a great feeling.

I felt like everyone who I interacted with on the Springboard team was really helpful and truly wanted me to succeed--that's a great feeling.
The course material was very well put together. Mostly curated articles and videos for you to read, but it was great to have that direction so that I could further supplement what I had learned with other youtube videos or articles.
You get 2 capstone projects, 1 design sprint, and an IDP which is a real world project. Going through the course, I was really looking forward to the IDP since my first 3 projects were amazing. However, I personally didn't have a great experience with my IDP host which is a shame because the IDP is supposed to be your most comprehensive project. I think Springboard could improve on vetting potential companies/hosts for their IDP. I did bring this issue up to Springboard and they tried to make it right by giving me a recommendation letter which I appreciated, but it doesn't really change the fact that my IDP experience wasn't the greatest.
However, what really made Springboard an overall great experience was the support I was given along the way. The one-on-one mentorship you receive is priceless. I really appreciate the overwhelming amount of advice and support I was given by my designated mentor.
Overall, I would recommend Springboard! I just hope you have a better experience than me during the IDP :) - AyeshaGraduate • UI / UX Design Career Track • OnlineJan 13, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

When I initially picked Springboard, I chose their UX/UI program because it seemed the most in-depth and provided an internship as part of their curriculum.

The technical skills development is good. Instructional videos with Colt Steel, I mean what else do you need to know. I am sure a lot of others are good as well, so I won’t say they are the best. But Springboard really sets itself apart from the pack in two ways:

The technical skills development is good. Instructional videos with Colt Steel, I mean what else do you need to know. I am sure a lot of others are good as well, so I won’t say they are the best. But Springboard really sets itself apart from the pack in two ways:
1) Mentoring/Advising
There are on-call assistants who can help you debug assignments. They can be accessed at the drop of a hat during pretty wide ranging available hours.
You are also assigned a Mentor who you have a 1-1 30 minute weekly session with. They are working professionals giving you advice as a side gig. So not only can they help you with any technical questions, they can also offer insight into life working in the field you are pursuing.
You can also request a handful of additional 30 minute 1-1 sessions throughout the course.
2) Career Coaching
While this is really an extension of mentoring advising, it gets its own separate bullet because it is actually a part of your curriculum. From the earliest part of the course you have scheduled career development assignments. This ensures that your preparedness for seeking a job, getting/doing interviews, and landing a first tech job progresses on a track that coincides with your technical skills development.
The only possible con would be if you weren’t looking for a job. If that is the case then the price is a bit steep for the technical skill development alone. But they intentionally market themselves to job seekers. And the straightforward culture of their advisors means they would probably mention this to you if this were your situation. - Michael MalandraGraduate • UI / UX Design Career Track • OnlineJan 12, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I enrolled in the UI/UX design career track and before I finished the course, I secured a role as a UX designer. This course helped me to successfully navigate a career transition to UX design. One of the most valuable things about the course was the mentor pairing and relationship building opportunities.

In this way, I learn how to find my own solution rather depending on others. I got continuous support from my mentor beside the scheduled meeting time. I found all the course materials and tutorials effective. But they could use more effective SQL and Python materials rather than fully depend on Dataquest. As a new SQL and Python learner, I found Dataquest not very effective (It is my personal opinion). But, the positive side is, if the student get stuck in anywhere, they can get instant unlimited mentor call support and community support in Slack. I have just finished the course and started to work with career support to search jobs and I found it helpful until now. Lets' see how long it will take to get the job. I recommended Springboard Data Analytics Career Track for the people who have no direct experience in Data Analytics, It will add value to your resume and Linkedin profile which will give them confident to present themselves in any Data Analytics interview. - Arin SoukouleGraduate • UI / UX Design Career Track • OnlineDec 31, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Whether it was receiving guidance from my design mentor, career mentors, or support from my fellow design cohort it helps to be surrounded by individuals who are rooting for your success and motivate you to do your best.
