I had the misfortune of an overly arrogant mentor with very little emotional intelligence although cookie cutter intelligence. Expensive course with material that could be learned elsewhere for much less

The content was massive, covered many topics that I'd need a new developer. One very important thing was code testing. It's often left out, and it's hirely desired for new devs to know. Springboard has that extensively covered. There's not a single topic they teach, that they also don't teach how to write tests for.

As someone who had no technical skills coming into the course, Springboard made learning easy and motivating. The curriculum was designed in a way to actively teach relevant technical skills and reinforce knowledge through projects. My mentor was amazing and helped me dive deeper into my learning by providing me industry level perspective and knowledge. My career coach helped me gain confidence and navigate the job market. The student support was very responsive to any questions or requests I had during the course. And, there was even 1:1 on demand mentor calls for when I was stuck on a project mid-week and wanted help before my weekly mentor call. Because of all the support and well-designed curriculum I was able to get a great job offer quickly despite having no work experience or previous technical knowledge! I am confident that the technical skills and statistical knowledge obtained in this course will set me up for success in my Data Science career. I highly recommend the course for anyone who is considering switching into Data Science!

My overall experience with Springboard has been great from start to finish. The entire team has been super supportive especially my mentor.

The Springboard Data Analytics was challenging, rewarding, and very helpful to me. It challenged me with exercises ranging from Excel, Python, SQL, and data visualization tools (Tableau and PowerBI). They also provided an incredible mentor to me, Sean Lucas, for when the challenges were too hard. It was rewarding because throughout the course I was able to improve my resume and LinkedIn profile. I also used some of the projects that I did as examples of the work that I have done to show to employers. Last but not least, I am an entry level data analyst and didn't have a firm grasp on SQL or Python. This course enhanced my abilities to use those languages and it improved my performance at my job. 100% enjoyed my time as a student, my mentor, my career coaches, and the Springboard staff themselves who helped me extend/modify my time/curriculum due to life being crazy. Thank you!

When I initially picked Springboard, I chose their UX/UI program because it seemed the most in-depth and provided an internship as part of their curriculum. I also really liked the idea of working with a mentor and having someone with experience be my guide. What I didn't expect is just how supportive the entire Springboard team & community truly are. My student advisor, Marco, was such a blessing as I struggled to keep up with all my competing priorities. He made me feel like no matter what happened, Springboard had my back. The support staff are incredibly responsive, Oscar @ office hours is a gift, as is everyone else I've had to interact with because of Springboard. I've just started working with my career coach and I already feel ten times better about my job search. I'm so grateful I chose Springboard and encourage anyone who is looking for a supportive environment to do so.

For me, it was a challenging and rewarding experience. I got a job offer right before graduation. The course allows you to move through the material at your own pace and you can take breaks if needed. Springboard provided career coaches, personal mentors (one-on-one, once per week), and student advisors. Support from the springboard team was exceptional. My mentor was great and incredibly knowledgeable. But be ready to work hard, and be consistent, if you want to get through this course because the curriculum could be challenging. Overall, I would definitely recommend Springboard.

This course was very beginner-friendly. I came from a background and career in education, and found the course format and instructional materials to be very easy to follow and learn from. The course gave me a taste of what it would be like to commit to a full program, while also preparing me for the technical skills test I needed to pass in order to gain admission to the full program. It is self-paced, so if you work full-time as I do, you can work on the course when your schedule allows. You get a weekly live check-in with a mentor who is a working professional in the industry, which was great. The excellent instructional videos by Colt Steele are the cornerstone of the curriculum for this prep course. There are plenty of opportunities to practice your skills with low-stakes exercises and assignments along the way, all of which help prepare you for that test at the end. For my money, this course was an excellent value.
