Introduction to Data Science

The course is a best option for understanding the basics and application of data science in your field of work. I wanted to learn R and the curriculum helped to learn the nuances of R by using various packages. It gave good information on data wrangling and gain insights using exploratory data analysis. For any aspiring data scientist , it is important to understand about probability and statistics and the springboard curriculum provides an opportunity for that. The curriculum enables the students to provide insights about the data visually and understand basics of machine learning algorithms and their usages.
The most important part is all the topics had their own project submissions which enabled you to understand the topic and complete the project based on your learning. Weekly call with the mentors enabled me to have broader vison about data science concepts and the mentor was very friendly and guided me during each phase of the capstone project.
The capstone project helped me apply the learning from the curriculum on my field of work. I hope to use the knowledge gained from this course in my organization and continue my learning in the field the of data science.
Springboard team is the most friendly and comfortable to work with and typically respond to your queries within a day. They are flexible in the scheduling as I had to take a vacation break and they understood the situation and paused the curriculum accordingly.
Introduction to Data Science by Springboard is the course to enroll for any aspiring data scientist

Springboard
I took Springboard UX course from April 2017 to June 2017. I changed my career from QA to UX and it helped me get new knowledge and skills. I liked that they have a mentor assigned to a student and there is a weekly call with a mentor. They have tons of material gathered from all around internet. I liked that they made a system of the UX process. They have a forum and I met some nice people there.

Business Analytics Course
Great experience. Loved the in-depth projects, lots of hands-on work, as opposed to many courses that are more video focused. I was able to fill in gaps in my knowledge. My mentor was very helpful, the one-on-one calls every week were quite valuable, and he was supportive and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Digital Marketing Career Track
I signed up for Springboard's Online Digital Marketing Career Track because after learning on my own for a while I decided it would be best to have some structure to my study. I can't be more satisfied with the support and guidance I received from Springboard. They helped me go from not knowing what digital marketing career path would be best to actually working in my first role as an entry level digital marketer.

Remote and flexible but doesn't compromise on quality
Because of my workload and travel schedule, I'm not able to commit to a full-time on-site Bootcamp style course. I needed something that offered a great curriculum and remote flexibility without feeling like a kite-in-the-wind. Springboard was able to offer that and provide real face-time access to experienced mentors.
I was able to do my work at my own pace and obtain feedback from professionals all the while. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants the Bootcamp experien...

Great Introduction to Data Science course
Everything can be learned from the internet, but personal teachers will always make a world of difference--especially since as students our ways of thinking and the mistakes we'll make will be unique.
Springboard makes it possible for you to learn from the best, while still being flexible enough for you to carry on with your current responsibilities.

Mentorship is a very important part of the program. My mentor is very experienced and helpful in keeping me on track and motivated. Otherwise I might spending 80% of the time in getting 20% of result.
Though I am not in the process of job hunt yet but I had several calls with career coaches. My coach gave suggestions on how to network, how to prepare profile and resume. All the staff was very valuable to me.
I believe that I will finally land my dream job.
