    Springboard is a Scam! Avoid at all costs

    Avoid Springboard at all costs. This company is a complete scam. The Head of Admissions, Justin, will charm you into signing up, but once you’re in, communication is nonexistent. You’re left dealing with unhelpful Zendesk employees who take forever to respond with vague, useless answers—if they even bother to get back to you at all.

    Comprehensive, supported, successful

    Springboard is an excellent provider of the Cybersecurity bootcamp. It gives all the tools, information, and support necessary to pass the Security+ exam. The coursework is self-guided, allowing you to go at your own pace. And the coaches are always available to assist with any speed bumps you may encounter.

    Well structured UX/UI bootcamp

    UX/UI bootcamp at Springboard helped me get deeper understanding of the concepts. I have researched about other bootcamps before joining Springboard. I think Springboard standsout because of their mentor support and Industry project. Make sure to pace through your course to be able to accommodate your industry design project at the end. Mentors are very helpful in understanding the problems in our designs. Student support team is very responsive.

    For my full time job people - this was intense!

    About Me:I chose a bootcamp because 1.) I desire to work in this field more than I can express 2.) An ex-coworker took this bootcamp and landed a role and 3.) I needed a structured, step-by-step curriculum to guide me through the UX/UI design process. Balancing the program with a full-time job was challenging, and I often found myself short on time to meet deadlines. On average, I dedicated around 12 hours a week to studying and completed Springboard’s UX/UI p...

    Good Program

    It was overall a good experience. I learned a lot from the program. You work at your own pace which was a big help. I liked all the labs that were provided, it gave us hands on experience in the topics we were covering. I was able to take the knowledge I learned from the course and get my CompTIA Security+ certification.

    Great Support Team

    I had a limited background in tech when I started the intense bootcamp with Springboard. I had many recourses and a great team available to utilize through the program and PASSED the CompTIA Security+ exam on my first try. It prepared me well! Furthermore, being new to the field the job guarantee and career coaching through the job search was very appealing.

    Springboard Data Science Program

    I enrolled in Springboard’s Data Science Career Track with zero prior experience in technology, and I couldn’t have chosen a better platform.

    Great option to add Data Science skill set on your resume.

    Springboard's Data Science bootcamp has a great curriculum and excellent community and mentorship support.

I will 100% recommend anybody looking to switch their career or upskill in Data science to join this track.

    An overall excellent experience

    Though their curriculum is overdue for a refresh, I found it to be adequate to prepare me for the UX job market. The mentors and career coaches alone, are worth the investment. This 6-month program ended up taking me 9 months to complete - it's no light-duty bootcamp, and really I think the term "bootcamp" doesn't quite fit. This program pushed me to do my best work, and I'm hopeful that I'll get a job thanks to what I learned along with the ongoing support of the excellent post-completi...

    Best bootcamp experience possible

    Springboard's Software Engineering Bootcamp sincerely helped become a confident and knowledgeable software engineer. This bootcamp and the people at Springboard set you up for success, but it's all up to you to get what you can out of it. If you work hard, you will be able to say it was an amazing experience. I personally came from knowing nothing about software engineering, and now I can confidently code, build websites and do things I never thought I would be doing. If you are on the e...
