Every Springboard student is matched with a personal student advisor and industry mentor who guides them throughout the program through regular video calls.

Before graduation, Springboard’s career services team supports students in their job search, helping prepare them for interviews and networking, and facilitates their transition into the tech industry. Springboard's programs are backed with a job guarantee.

    Good Course Better Career Prep

    • My background in physics, research, and engineering helped me feel well-prepared for the course.
    • While a strong foundation in math was beneficial, it wasn’t absolutely critical for success.
    • The course material was engaging, especially during the early stages.
    • Machine learning was taught through a hands-on approach, starting with simple concepts and scaling up to complex implementations.
    • Worked on three capstone projects, gaining valuable experience in finding datase...

    Satisfactory Bootcamp, Met Expectations

    About me: I decided on the bootcamp route because I knew I needed a structured curriculum with my readings and assignments laid out for me. During this process, I worked part time, around 20 hours per week. On average, I studied around 12 hours per week. I completed Springboard’s UX/UI program in just under 10 months.
    Pros:- Detailed curriculum covers all the fundamentals of the UX design process. Note that most of the curriculum is made up of free art...

    Structured, fast-paced- encouraging

    I was enrolled at springboard in the Software Engineering Career Track - Foundations to Core. This bootcamp really gave me the tools I needed to get a deep understanding of not just code but what it takes to be a software engineer.  From the start in HTML and CSS to incorporating JS and then python. I went from not knowing what html even was to making full stack applications in the realm of cryptocurrency and property management. I made these projects with two completely different stacks...

    Springboard worked well for me

    I took/am close to finishing the Web Development course.  It focuses on HTML/CSS and Javascript and is tailored toward people new to software development.  I have a computer science degree and several years of software development experience, but not in web development.  So I took this course to update my skillset.

    This course is good for both.  It properly explains things, such as, "what is the cloud?", how data is routed around the world wide web, etc.  It also discusses many pr...

    Data Analytics Career Track

    Overall, I would say my experience with program in its entirety is fairly positive. The highlights of the bootcamp are definitely the mentor support, career mentor support, and the online community that you will be apart of as a student. All those support systems provide lots of insight into the program and also what it is really like to work in this career in real life. Th curriculum itself is not bad, it uses Linkedin Learning and Datacamp to solidify a foundation in coding and using d...

    Not worth it

    I'm near the end of my program and I can't imagine being less satisfied with my experience at Spring board. With the exception of some members of the career team their staff is entirely unhelpful. I've never spoken to my student advisor despite multiple attempts and I'm working with my second mentor after the first one rushed me off of each call and now my second just doesn't show up. Most of the coursework is not unique to Springboard you're essentially paying a big pricetag for a subsc...

    Amazingly helpful experience

    The only cons to the bootcamp are the fact that the labs are simple click and post labs. Outside of this, the resources availble to help grow, amazing mentors with current experience in the field, career coaches with experience in the job market, and full control of how to manage time and generous payment options, all contribute to how amazing Springboard is for anyone getting into cybersecurity. Furthermore, they also prepare you to take the Security + and pay giving you the ultimate st...

    Career-propelling Course

    Springboard was a monumental help in getting me into my career as a Data Analyst. The course is a perfect blend between the analytics curriculum and career support which makes the job search upon completion much more manageable. The support from mentors and students is prevalent and helpful to your success in the course. I would recommend any of Springboard's course to anyone who is interested in stepping into a tech-oriented field.

    Data Analytics Career Track

    I was nervous, getting back into an educational program after a miserable time in higher education. However, Springboard turned out to be a good choice – self guided but also with a little bit of oversight, and a Pass/Fail system rather than worrying about grades and additional numbers! That being said, Springboard isn't perfect, and I hope that some of the changes I had mentioned to my mentor over the past 7 months get brought to someone's attention, or get fixed in some way. I do think...
