Super se bhi upar :-)
My experience has been superb with every person I've interacted with at Springboard. Every interaction has been really insightful and I've received the best advice from them consistently. I learned Data Science Career Track with Advanced Machine Learning specialisation, and below are my thoughts. Overall, I've been delighted by the course, it has been a fabulous experience, and don't have a single con that I can think of. I was looking out to deepen my knowledge when I joined the course, but I gained a lot more. I've made a successful switch to my dream company through this course that too with a great hike. I'm using the concepts learnt in this course since day 1 of my new role. Though the course has a lot to offer, learners have to be consistent and take daily efforts to derive the maximum out of it and they should do so. I'm sure this course will delight them as well -
- Content: Pleasantly surprised to learn from the best minds of the world (Harvard and Stanford) besides in-depth knowledge and hands-on on the hottest topics of today's Data Scientist skillset. The concepts chosen are great and relevant in the industry, I've learnt quite a few AIML concepts through this course too.
- Projects: I've worked on close to 50 projects in the last 5-6 months, both technical and career-based. There were three capstone projects, spread out evenly through the course. So I could start applying for jobs early on. Plus I have built a great portfolio of projects to show to recruiters/ decision-makers.
- Mentorship: Perhaps the best part of this course. I've been aligned with an industry expert who's made the transition into Data Science much before me, thus nobody can advise on projects, jobs, concepts, career path, industry trends, etc better than him.
- Career Services: A cherry on the cake, career coaches are really dedicated. I've had great advice on job search strategy, career path, networking, mock interviews, etc. It doesn't end there, even when I've joined my new organisation, I still have access to career services and have received a really helpful handbook as well.
- Community Support: Very helpful for clearing doubts, and peer to peer learning. Not only can I review my doubts but others' doubts as well, thus maximising the clarity. TA (teachinf assistant) support is excellent.
- Office Hours: A great initiative to verse the learners with what is going on in the industry presently, what challenges is the industry facing, how they solve problems, etc. A great value add.
- Affordability: Much less expensive as compared to good comprehensive programs in the market (not comparing with short courses, as this is an elaborate course), plus quite a few easy payment plans are there. Good referral bonuses too.
- Job Guarantee: Keep taking consistent efforts, submit projects on time, do your best, if you don't get your dream job, you'll get your money back. I was able to focus effectively because of this as I was mentally relieved.
