    Amazing experience, especially for those struggles with self-discipline!!!

    Springboard creates a step-by-step curriculum in order to pave the way for you to succeed in this ever-evolving industry. With the wonderful mentors and career coaches, this is perfect for me because I was switching from finance to cyber and needs a lot of guidance along the way. And Springboard did that job amazingly!!!

    Good Foundation

    I started from nothing and now I can say I have learned frontend and backend development. I was paired with a great mentor who also worked as a Senior Software Engineer. I gained a lot of insight through them and I they gave me the push I needed. This course started with the very basics of Javascript, html, and css. Then it taught the front end and backend programming. Personally, it took me longer to finish because I had difficulty staying on track, but I recommend it to students who ar...

    Springboard's Data Science boot camp

    I'd like to share my experience with Springboard's Data Science boot camp. It was truly an unforgettable journey. While most of the learning material is readily available online, like on YouTube or DataCamp, what set Springboard apart was its structured program and well-designed projects. Additionally, having a mentor who offered valuable guidance and support throughout the course made a significant difference in my learning journey
