Great experience!

My experience at Springboard has been good, but the learning materials could use more variety. My mentor Nima has helped make this pivot easier.

A really good program. I learned so much, It took a lot of discipline. Had an amazing mentor who was such a help. absolutely loved all of the career coaches. Loved the structure of the program. Hope they update the course content as some of it is dated. I'm just finished as of August 1. As part of the job guarantee program, we will see what sort of support and outcomes happen for me. I am hopeful I will be writing a second positive review once I find a job within the cybersecurity realm. Thank you Springboard!!!!

Fast to get responses.

I am so happy with SpringBoard's UX/UI Design Career Track course. The curriculum was well thought out and built your confidence over time. Every mentor and career coach is uplifting and experienced. A few areas I feel it could be improved are providing specific training within the design tool you choose and giving more guidance during the Industry Design Project (IDP). Having sample projects early on in the curriculum for how to use auto-layout or build components and variants effectively within the design tool you chose would be useful. (could be optional to complete) The IDP is such an amazing project to be apart of in a bootcamp, but my teammates and I often felt confused. Having a "mock" project manager working along with us would have been more helpful in learning how to navigate conversations with stakeholders right away rather than guess and potentially build poor habits, especially as new designers.

I had a positive experience. The boot camp had a suitable duration, providing enough time to cover the necessary topics in-depth. One aspect I particularly appreciated was the access to a mentor and a career coach. Their guidance and support were invaluable throughout the program. However, one aspect that could be improved is the lack of a centralized and comprehensive source material. While the camp provided curated materials from various sources, the absence of a single, main reference created inconsistencies and made it challenging to have a go-to resource for reviewing concepts. Although the curated materials were beneficial for supplementary learning, they should not replace a core material that students can rely on as a primary reference. In summary, the data science boot camp was valuable due to its appropriate length and the availability of mentors and career coaches. Nonetheless, addressing the issue of a single comprehensive material would greatly enhance the learning experience and provide students with a reliable resource for studying and reinforcing concepts.

The mentorship and modules are great. I found that to be the best part of the program. The lack of assistance in staying on track and the reliance on outside content are the reason behind my rating.

I loved the prep course a bit more than the main course. I had an outstanding mentor for the prep course who really pushed me and answered all the questions I posed. I had to switch mentors very early on in the main course. The second mentor I had was good but the meeting were always short. About 10-15 minutes most time. I felt the work was just “pushed through” with minimal feedback. I honestly wasn’t sure if I was doing industry level work. I wish I had the mentor from the prep course in the main one. However, The advisors were awesome for both courses. The career coach I went to regularly was amazing. I’d say I had a good experience for the most part.
