CourseWork was intense. The help that you get from your mentoring guidance makes you leap forward quickly. Self Motivation is absolutely necessary to pursue this course successfully.

Overall the Software Engineering Career Track Bootcamp at Springboard was great. I was able to gain a strong grasp on core S.E. topics and had lots of great guidance along the way. The mentors and career staff in particular helped a lot, and I am proud of the projects I made. I think it is a great program that teaches topics in a good, digestible manner. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get started in the Software Engineering field.

One on one meetings and feedback from mentor made this experience amazing. It feels reassuring to have an expert in the field provide guidance.

Springboard strikes the perfect balance between industry education and hands-on portfolio development. As a long-time freelancer, this program not only sharpened my skills but also gave me the formal language and confidence to articulate my expertise in interviews. Since enrolling, I’ve landed two jobs, and I can directly credit the curriculum, my mentor, and the career coaches for their invaluable support!

I went from not knowing anything about programming to creating a years' worth of different programs, scripts, automations and full-stack applications. Honestly 10/10 for me, I had an awesome mentor who helped me along and assisted me when I was stuck on a project. The only criticism I would mention is that I did find technical issues with some projects and getting the tech related help was difficult once or twice. Other than that small hiccup it was an amazing experience.

Springboard offers a great education and good number of programs. They put you in contact with industry professionals and otherwise knowledgeable people. The support systems Springboard offers are excellent and never slow to give a helping hand, whether its technical or more targeted toward assignments.

The Springboard Data Science Career Track provides a thorough introduction to data science, covering foundational skills before moving into advanced topics. The curriculum includes programming in Python, SQL, and machine learning techniques, as well as mentorship with industry professionals. The course is self-paced, which is ideal for those balancing other commitments, and includes project-based learning, allowing students to build a professional portfolio. Pros: Comprehensive curriculum covering both foundational and advanced data science topics One-on-one mentorship from industry professionals Flexible, self-paced learning schedule Hands-on, project-based approach to building a portfolio Cons: Requires high self-motivation and discipline to stay on track

First, the curriculum is well designed and thought out. You learn basic computing concepts as well as computing concepts (e.g. what's the cloud? What's the world-wide-web, etc.). Also the programming exercises reinforce what you learn and gradually become more challenging. Next, the mentoring and advising is spot on. My mentor was technically adept so I could bounce ideas off of him. The advising made sure I was on track and could kick in when necessary. Lastly, you receive good career advise and guidance on how to create/update your resume and LinkedIn profile. I only needed "tweeks" in these areas but if you're starting from scratch, you're covered.
