Springboard Avis 356

The curriculum was great and the timeline was good to not get overwhelmed with the material. I really liked working on all projects that provided with real hands-on experience as a data scientist.

I went from not knowing anything about programming to creating a years' worth of different programs, scripts, automations and full-stack applications. Honestly 10/10 for me, I had an awesome mentor who helped me along and assisted me when I was stuck on a project. The only criticism I would mention is that I did find technical issues with some projects and getting the tech related help was difficult once or twice. Other than that small hiccup it was an amazing experience.

Springboard offers a great education and good number of programs. They put you in contact with industry professionals and otherwise knowledgeable people. The support systems Springboard offers are excellent and never slow to give a helping hand, whether its technical or more targeted toward assignments.

The Springboard Data Science Career Track provides a thorough introduction to data science, covering foundational skills before moving into advanced topics. The curriculum includes programming in Python, SQL, and machine learning techniques, as well as mentorship with industry professionals. The course is self-paced, which is ideal for those balancing other commitments, and includes project-based learning, allowing students to build a professional portfolio.

Pros:
Comprehensive curriculum covering both foundational and advanced data science topics
One-on-one mentorship from industry professionals
Flexible, self-paced learning schedule
Hands-on, project-based approach to building a portfolio

Cons:
Requires high self-motivation and discipline to stay on track

First, the curriculum is well designed and thought out. You learn basic computing concepts as well as computing concepts (e.g. what's the cloud? What's the world-wide-web, etc.). Also the programming exercises reinforce what you learn and gradually become more challenging.
Next, the mentoring and advising is spot on. My mentor was technically adept so I could bounce ideas off of him. The advising made sure I was on track and could kick in when necessary.
Lastly, you receive good career advise and guidance on how to create/update your resume and LinkedIn profile. I only needed "tweeks" in these areas but if you're starting from scratch, you're covered.

I really enjoyed the course material and appreciated the insight from a great mentor. Excellent experience!

My effective review about springboard will be in the form of a video. It will be my gratitude to springboard for providing us an opportunity to break into the cyber security industry. All my reviews would be pending until the promise of job guarantee is met. Any review before that would in inconclusive. I want to advocate for the springboard with the help of my effective spoken and videographic communication skills. I want to be a success case of my batch at the springboard. You guy are definitely going to like my all encompassing review. It would be a great asset for the over all marketing venture of springboard.

A very clear and well-written curriculum that includes a real-life project which allows the student to finish this course with strong case studies and proficiency in tools like Figma or Sketch.

My experience in the Data Analytics path at Springboard was and continues to be exceptional. I'm a career changer, having taught high school mathematics, specifically AP Statistics, for twenty years. Before that I had worked in the finance industry. I left teaching before COVID but wanted to find a better use of my brain. I had to take my business skills and update them for today's big data analysis: SQL, Python and the proliferation of relational databases. I feel that the program has prepared me well, making me a competitive candidate for remote work, which is a priority for my desired work/life balance. The weekly mentor calls are invaluable, the projects along the way to build one's portfolio and the programmed career coaching keep one on track. One needs to be self motivated and self disciplined to complete the curriculum. I am working under a Job Guarantee and tuition deferment plan that made this a no-brainer. I can highly recommend this program and have done so when I have told people about my new path.

I don't believe positive reviews. This bootcamp is scam. The course they provide does not even make you qualified for entry level position. Besides job guarantee is just a marketing scam. Avoid this bootcamp at all cost and warn others. The only thing they need is your money and they don't care about the rest. The humanity left them.

I had a wonderful experience at SpringBoard. The mentorship and support from the mentors were outstanding. My mentor is knowledgeable and approachable, always willing to provide guidance and resources to help me succeed. The curriculum is great and easily understandable. The Slack channels and office hours were invaluable, providing me with a lot of insights. The career support calls and mock interviews also gave me extra confidence. Overall, it was a great experience, and I definitely recommend SpringBoard to anyone looking for a UX career track course.

I am extremely disappointed with the Springboard cybersecurity program. Despite their bold promise of a job guarantee, my experience has been far from reassuring. Just two weeks after my first meeting with my career mentor, it became clear that landing a cybersecurity job was unlikely, and instead, I was being steered towards tech support roles.

To make matters worse, I checked Slack messages and found many participants with extensive tech support experience who are still struggling to break into cybersecurity. If Springboard is not confident in their ability to train students for the jobs they promise, they should not accept students or make such guarantees in the first place.

This feels like a scam. Promising job guarantees without delivering is misleading and unfair. Prospective students deserve transparency about the real outcomes they can expect. I would not recommend this program to anyone expecting to transition into a cybersecurity career as promised.

This was a great experience to be a part of! I learned a lot, met interesting new people, gained some insight and knowledge, and had help entirely throughout the program! 5 star recommended.

Truly what i don't like is the fact of the threats, and when you have a call with your mentor, he falls asleep during the call... i also don't find it interesting as the course material is not there own.... most of the information is on google, and the other part about it.. DATA Camp.. is separate from Springboard... so they have you believing that signing up with Data Camp is essential... and there at Data Camp they take your money and wont refund it with out the run around, as the course is suppose to be accommodating the Springboard course. Personally the mentor calls do not do favors for me.. and actually that is the only gripe i have.. besides of the threats of suspending the accounts, well no many of the gen X are working 19 hours a day 6 days a week, and maintaining a 4.0 towards a 4 year degree... so keep threating me and you will see me gone... as i dont think i need the course.

Getting deep information about the school and program made me more excited to start. The "interview" was great. It made me feel confident in knowing I picked a great school and program. I love the one on one mentor option. Any questions I had, were answered directly and honestly. Glad to be a part of a great school!

Good material and more 5* staff then you can imagine. From the advisors, to my mentor Samaila, to the career counselor Jaslyn, and Gilbert Entee, the advisor, and... Fantastic people, and good material.

comprehensive education program, very supportive assistant staff, very talent, experience and professional career coach and advisor, 5 star recommendation.

I recently completed the UI/UX Design Career Track at Springboard, and I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience. The curriculum was comprehensive, covering essential topics and providing opportunities to dive deeper into specific interests. Seriously, I have a whole library of books I’ve ordered that I can’t wait to read thanks to recommendations in the curriculum!

Springboard’s mentorship program was really what stood out to me when I was looking into bootcamps, and it didn’t let me down. My mentors, Aida and Tatiana, were incredibly supportive and provided me with practical advice that helped me refine my skills and approach to design. Their friendly and empathetic approach made our interactions both enjoyable and productive, and I’m immensely grateful for their guidance.

Springboard’s support staff also played a crucial role in my success. They were exceptionally understanding and accommodating, especially when my twins were born prematurely during my course and had to remain in the NICU for some time. Springboard offered me multiple course extensions, allowing me to focus on my family without worrying about the additional costs of completing my certification. Their empathy and flexibility were invaluable, making a significant impact on my ability to succeed in the program.

As a result of the program and the Industry Design Project, I feel confident that I was able to build a robust portfolio and am hopeful it will help me find my dream job as a product designer. I really can’t recommend the Springboard UI/UX Design Career Track enough to anyone looking to transition into a design role.

A broad platform to learn different IT skills in a professional way. Teachers explain each and everything in a very simple way.
