This course hands down is worth every single penny. The only feedback I want to honestly give is someone who works 50+ hours a week, this course is NOT possible to finish in 6 months. That being said, I would recommend this to anyone who is seriously looking to pursue a career in UX.

The entire bootcamp, the content, lectures, assignments and projects are well designed and structured. Video lectures follow a very logic structure. The language is very natural and contains lots of practical content. It is easy to forget that you are watching a video as they are recorded in a way that it just feels like someone is in front of you explaining stuff for you. Assignments are adequate: they are very challenging but doable (providing you put in many many hours, typically twice the time that you would expect originally). The bootcamp contains a lot, I mean a lot of material. As I've heard from Software Engineers, you are not expected to memorize 100% of the content, because nobody does, even experienced programmers. We rely a lot in Google and its magical powers to find someone who's asked your same question before. The 1:1 mentoring is also a good compromise between having a fellow human guide you through along the way and keeping costs reasonable. But I've heard from other students not being so compatible with the mentor assigned to them. I guess that could happen anywhere. Springboard has made a good job following through the student's concerns and making sure all details are ironed out. I'm very convinced that the material I've learned is very useful and covers a multitude of technologies that are applicable in real life.

I learned so much thru this program. Had a wonderful experience & my mentor was beyond exceptional in helping me figuring out stuff whenever I was stuck. Overall it was a very positive experience with lots of hours & effort, finally emerging as a person with a new knowledge & learning tool at my behest!

I’m really happy that I made the decision to join the UX Career Track through Springboard. My mentor is a great match who always makes sure that I understand how to apply what I’m learning to the real world. The material is pretty easy to understand, and there is often suggestions about further study both in the course and in our Slack. There’s a ton of support available from other students, mentors, career coaches, and student advisors. I was actually looking at this program in 2018. My only regret is not starting it sooner!

Springboard's hands on online content coupled with live interactions with highly qualified mentors and other students in different cohorts provides an awesome learning experience. You can access the content anytime and ask doubts to other students or mentors/TAs. The community discussions on slack on different parts of the course are always on and provide good avenues to revise through other students questions...

The springboard UX program is well designed. It gives me a solid foundation in UX design. Having one on one weekly meeting with my mentor has helped me a lot. The online community is also a great resource where students can find each other on their projects.

The mentorship is amazing. I think the curriculum and exercises could be improved upon. Since they come from various sources they are sometimes disconnected unclear or confusing.

Great curriculum Incredible mentors Awesome career coaches
