    Springboard Data Science Career Track - A+++

    The Springboard Data Science Career Track 6-month course has taught me a lot.  The curriculum is set up very well.  You start by learning Python basics, then go into inferential statistics, machine learning, software engineering, etc.  Throughout the course there are 2 major capstones that you build from scratch.  The links to my projects are below.  I've learned so much but please do not think that you can spend 10 hours a week on the course and complete it.  I spent 3-4 hours every night...

    A modern-day program

    I enjoyed the Springboard UX Career Track program! Haven taken other UX design curriculums, Springboard’s coursework was much more up-to-date pulling a broad range of resources which I appreciated when thinking about real-world application. My mentor has become a life long mentor who was very supportive of my particular UX journey. I enjoyed that capstone and research projects which were more personalized compared to other UX programs I’ve participated in. This allowed me to stay highly en...

    Business Analytics

    The Business Analytics course was very beneficial for me to understand this career path. I like to analyze data and this course allowed me to analyze data in different ways and by using various tools. You are very fortunate if you have a motivating mentor. I almost always had technical issues with my laptop but my mentor and I were able to overcome those and we managed to still make it work. Apart from technical issues my mentor was very knowledgable and through in his analysis. I learned ...

    Data Science Career Track

    As a former clinical lab technician who enrolled in this course, I'd say it is a great learning experience. The inclusion of one-on-one mentoring was very helpful for me since I can quickly contact someone for help and advice on the cirriculum. The emphasis on practical applications makes the material more approachable for newcomers. Overall a great choice for anyone interested in data science careers.

    The mentor experience is amazing with Springboard. They give you the knowledge you need to know with the class materials, but the real learning happens when you are talking to your mentor about it and getting feedback.

    UX Design Career Track

    Making the transition from a 10 year career in Marketing to one in UX Design was a big career change for me but I'm happy I've made the jump. Coming from someone with no design experience, the course work was easy to follow and challenging in some areas, but everything was do-able (it just took me a little bit more time to complete).

    In terms of the curriculum, flexibility, staff support, and design projects, I will say that the UX Design Career Track is a well rounded course com...

    A Concise UX Introduction

    I chose to do the UX Design course with a goal of completing within 3 months. I was lucky to be paired with a mentor with many years of experience and he was instrumental in taking my capstone project to the next level. He was available and flexible to meet my tight deadline for completion and I am grateful for his support through the whole process. The content itself is easy to work through and when I did have a question regarding the curriculum, my mentor was able to quickly answer and c...
