    Springboard Data Science Program

    I enrolled in Springboard’s Data Science Career Track with zero prior experience in technology, and I couldn’t have chosen a better platform. The curriculum is comprehensive, breaking down complex concepts into digestible lessons that are easy to follow. The standout feature for me was the 1:1 mentorship. Having access to an industry professional who provided personalized guidance made all the difference. The career coaches offered actionable advice that gave me confidence in pursuing a ...

    Great option to add Data Science skill set on your resume.

    Springboard's Data Science bootcamp has a great curriculum and excellent community and mentorship support. This course is well structured and provides great materials for ML, statistics, Deep learning, python etc. I really enjoyed working on all the projects in this track as it helped me understand the concept really well. I will 100% recommend anybody looking to switch their career or upskill in Data science to join this track.

    An overall excellent experience

    Though their curriculum is overdue for a refresh, I found it to be adequate to prepare me for the UX job market. The mentors and career coaches alone, are worth the investment. This 6-month program ended up taking me 9 months to complete - it's no light-duty bootcamp, and really I think the term "bootcamp" doesn't quite fit. This program pushed me to do my best work, and I'm hopeful that I'll get a job thanks to what I learned along with the ongoing support of the excellent post-completi...

    Best bootcamp experience possible

    Springboard's Software Engineering Bootcamp sincerely helped become a confident and knowledgeable software engineer. This bootcamp and the people at Springboard set you up for success, but it's all up to you to get what you can out of it. If you work hard, you will be able to say it was an amazing experience. I personally came from knowing nothing about software engineering, and now I can confidently code, build websites and do things I never thought I would be doing. If you are on the e...

    Career focused | Thorough | Hands on

    I would recommend Springboard to anyone looking to make a transition into Data Science or simply wanting to expand their skillset. Before Springboard, I had never written a line of code. Now, I am able to build machine learning models, import, transform, and visualize data, and so much more. I would say you need to be self disciplined and find a mentor that suites you.

    Great Course for Career Transition

     Springboard’s Data Analytics course was the perfect choice for me as I transitioned careers. The six-month timeline allowed for a deep dive into key tools and techniques like SQL, Tableau, and Python, and the flexibility of the online format was ideal for balancing studies with my schedule. The career support resources, including resume-building and interview prep, were extremely valuable as I began applying for jobs.

    The Springboard cybersecurity program was a great introductory experience for me in order to learn about cybersecurity. I was able to start from a novice level and work my way up with the through/challenging curriculum and the guidance of my mentors and the coaches offered in the program. The labs provided useful hands on learning experience for real world applications of the curriculum and tested proficiency and applicable knowledge well. The program is also timed well to be completed i...

    Insightful, Tangible, and Fruitful

    The curriculum was not daunting and truly set you up for fruition in the Comp TIA Security+ exam.  The most illuminating part of Springboard was the advice and motivation provided by my Mentor.  He was able to have an extremely positive influence on my self efficacy in the cybersecurity field.  Mentorship is a lost art these days and Springboard provides students with a pool of exceptional mentors.  I have no regrets in applying and graduating from this institution.

    Empowering Cybersecurity Program with Practical Skills

     Attending this program was a game-changer for my cybersecurity journey. The curriculum provided a comprehensive foundation, combining theoretical knowledge with hands-on labs and real-world scenarios. One major advantage was the supportive mentorship, which helped clarify concepts and build confidence. Additionally, the flexibility in learning allowed me to balance studies with other commitments. However, at times, I found certain modules a bit fast-paced, which required extra effort to...

    Data Analytics Track: Great Opportunity to learn the basics of the career

    I had an overall positive experience here in that the basics and essentials were covered by the curriculum. The course material was relevant and was set in real business-like environments. I found lots of help with their online slack community, which provided quick answers to any questions I had. I do think the mentor program was helpful in making sure I was accountable with the program to graduate within the set timeline I had. Overall, it was a great learning experience.

    I had no official IT experience but I was gently let into the IT world through the layer upon layer approach of Springboard. I had hands on to see the concepts in practice. I had mentors, TAs and great support staff who promptly addressed my challenges.

    Great Program That Gives Just Enough Information to Delve Deeper in Any Area - Data Science Track

    The Springboard program gave a great survey of the entire data science process before going into various topics. I gained a good handle on Python programming and SQL by the end. The projects were organized in tiers of difficulty which gave me the ability to complete them at any level. By far the greatest part of this program was my technical mentor. She had incredible industry knowledge  and guided me in my capstone projects so I didn't deliver work that was too simplistic or get lost in...
