Springboard

I was impressed with the program's career training, which not only taught me data science but also prepared me... Read More for a career in the field. The program provided me with the necessary tools to build a portfolio of projects, practice mock interviews, and get my resume reviewed. The program's curriculum is comprehensive and well-structured, covering topics such as data analysis, machine learning, statistical inference, and data visualization.

Pro- great instructional videos that are easy to follow, great to have a mentor, excellent support services, self paced is super nice, ability to take pauses if other things going on outside of the course, lifetime access to course materials Cons- full...

Springboard has a robust curriculum with industry expert mentor support and career services. It helps to have a little bit of IT and basic Web development knowledge prior to starting this course. Prepare to immerse yourself in the world of full-stack... Read More development, networking, resume building, behavioral interview preparation, data structures and algorithms and coding interviews. You will work on 2 Capstone projects in 2 different stacks: Flask / PostgreSQL / Jinja2 for first project and then Express / React / PostgreSQL or MongoDB. You will learn how to build applications and deploy them online to a service like Heroku. The curriculum could use a refresher for 2023 as it was originally created before 2020 looks like. But it gives you a good foundational knowledge nonetheless.

Read More Cons: -I felt like I was alone most of the time. -Some of the exercises were out dated. -Expensive. -you still have to find a job yourself.

Read More the one-to-one mentorship program has been an invaluable resource for me to get personalized feedback on my projects.

Read More understand for a beginner level and the projects, although challenging, were doable. I loved this course and I would recommend to others to use Springboard!

Springboard taught me all aspects of ux/ui design with hands on projects, it also offers unlimited mentor time with both career coaches and design professionals. You get to set your own pace but the curriculum walks you through the process with articles,... Read More videos and projects that you submit for grading.

Springboard is an excellently curated program for people who are motivated enough to learn independently. It's true that a lot of the material can be found for free online, but there's so much information online that it would be hard to curate only high... Read More quality materials as they have. There was one part of the course that was a learn along video mini course, and there were a few challenges like this as well. I wish they would incorporate more of those, as most of the material is article reading. If you're a distracted reader, this can be a challenging, frustrating way to learn. But they are also really great about making you practice the new things you learn, so you're actively doing UX/UI work from very early on instead of just consuming information. My mentor was incredible and helped me grow tremendously. The career coaches are great too, and my internship was such an impactful thing for my career. I learned a ton and really felt like I was working in the field - collaborating with other UX researchers and presenting to stakeholders. I would definitely recommend this course to people who are diligent and can manage a self-paced, independent curriculum. I would have liked it more if there had been more collaboration with other students peppered throughout the course, instead of just at the end. And of course having professors would be ideal. But all in all, I felt the content I learned was top of the line, relevant, up to date information that left me with a competitive edge for my new career. I'm very happy with what I got out of it and felt the material was very in-depth, just as I had hoped.
