Amazing learning experience
My experience with Springboard has been phenomenal. Springboard provides very heavy learning from basic computer knowledge to advance such as Python and Node. With 4 in-depth projects, I was able to learn and research on the coding languages that I've always wanted to. Additionally, Springboard provides a mentor that great knowledge in the field and with tremendous help on projects and questions. I would definitely recommend Springboard for people that would like to have a career as a Software Engineer.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

I made a great choice to choose Springboard!
Overall I can say that I am really happy with my great choice about the Springboard bootcamp! They are always above and beyond with students. Springboard is helpful with any problem and issues if you have, life situation, and have great student support. Specially if you a mommy and pregnant the same time, you still have all chances to finish your study, I started to this course with 1 years old baby and 6 month pregnant with second child, and my way was longest then usual people have but not everyone can be like me and the greatest support came from Springboard, even I would say it is the best bootcamp in the world! Just be sure about your desire and don’t be ashamed to ask for help if you need it. Springboard has awesome mentors, and their students community as well. I got my Springboard Software Engineering Career Track Certification with still two babies on my both hands. Thank you very much Springboard team!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

A Boot Camp worth more than a Master's Degree

Pros: On demand mentor support via call and messages. An experienced UX & UI mentor with valuable advice weekly. Helpful and supportive advising and support staff. A flexible schedule, different payment options, tons of resources, connections, and tools.

You get what you put into it
Springboard has been extremely helpful in providing the tools you need to succeed. They only provide the tools, it’s up to you what you do with them. If you work hard and are very determined to do your best you’ll come out ahead with a great job ready portfolio. I have already landed my first job and haven’t even completed the course yet. Also, create your portfolio early on an apply before you graduate to get a head start. It helped me land my job early and couldn’t be happier.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Helped me to make a career change
I joined the Springboard Data Analytics career track to make a career change from professor to data analyst. I had a lot of experience with research and quantitative methods, but needed to learn the tech (SQL, Python, Power BI/Tableau). I also really wanted the career support to help me pivot my CV to a top-notch resume. The capstones and case studies are really helpful to create portfolios. There are great support staff - personal mentor, career coaches, and an active Slack channel where you can ask for help at any time. I was getting contacted by recruiters before I even finished. I took a job as a Senior Analyst that began a week after I completed the course.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Josh Abenojar Verified via LinkedInUser Experience Designer · UI / UX Design Career Track · Graduation year 2022
UX/UI Design Career Track Certification
Springboard UI/UX Design Career Track Certification is everything the website says it was going to be. No lies no frills, builds up your core UI and UX design skills and apply them to 3 or 4 projects that you can put on your portfolio (which the curriculum also helps up build!).
Springboard does a great job preparing you for post-completion - the dreaded job search. Springboard has career modules embedded in the curriculum that focuses solely on representing yourself as the best UI/UX Designer you can be, and even gives you interview practice and presentation practice. You and your career coach will go back and forth week after week, job application after job application, interview after interview, until you land your first job!
I was offered a job as a User Experience Designer prior to completion, so I never fully utilized the post completion career coaching all students has access to (regardless of your job guarantee status). BUT, that goes to show how well Springboad does in preparing you for the UI/UX Design field!Overall4.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors4.0 -
Wendy Bujalski Verified via GitHubSoftware Engineer I · Software Engineering Career Track · Graduated 2022
Excellent Curriculum, Good Job Support
The best part of the Springboard Software Engineering Career Track is the quality of the curriculum materials. They don't just teach you the bare minimum to be able to build things - the course gives context, history, and deep technical understanding of why modern web applications are built the way they are.
The job support is also very good, though I would've appreciated a little more hands-on guidance. I got a job before finishing the program, so perhaps I would've had more help/guidance if I'd needed it.
Anyway, I am very happy with the education I got from Springboard and would recommend it to anyone looking for a bootcamp they can do online at their own pace.Overall4.0Curriculum5.0Job support4.0Instructors5.0 -
Stasos Clark Verified via LinkedInApplication Developer · Software Engineering Career Track
Great learning experience with Springboard!
As I'm writing this review I have completed about 12% of the Springboard Software Engineering Career Track material and (just a couple days ago) accepted a job offer as an Application Developer for a local financial services company.
Here are the pros and cons of my experience with Springboard:- Pros
- Colt Steele presents all the instruction materials (via recorded video). He does a great job and was super easy to follow along with. It was pretty rare that I would complete a video and not understand the concepts he had presented.
- I found the Career Services very impressive. The career coaches are really high-caliber individuals in the field of job searching, recruiting, resume building, etc. Very, very helpful. They even made themselves available to me outside of the allotted career calls.
- The mentors are also a great resource. My mentor was very easy to get ahold of and a highly-skilled programmer who was able to show me lots of little details that the curriculum would not have had the time to get into. He is actively involved in the industry right now so he is able to translate "classroom" material into how it works in the real world.
- Obviously I don't have experience with other bootcamps to compare, but I think the price of Springboard is very, very reasonable.
- The assignments (which may be the most important part of any program) were appropriately challenging. Most of them required going beyond what was explicitly taught in the lesson and forced you to go deeper (in a good way).
- Cons
- In my humble opinion, I think the curriculum spends a little too much time on Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). From what I understand, this model is beginning to be replaced by more functional programming. I also think React should be introduced much earlier. That seems to be the most prominent front-end framework right now, so it would be beneficial to learn that sooner rather than "mastering" traditional vanilla JavaScript.
- There were times where the Springboard site was a little bit glitchy, but it was never so much of an issue that it prevented me from working for much time. Definitely not glitchy enough to be a major concern.

Software Engineering Career Track
I have been coding out of curiosity but never got my hands on projects or a systematic completion of any technology. Springboard's concise curriculum helped me doing all that and that, too, in a minimum period of time.
The best thing I feel about Springboard is the focus on Creating the projects. My Git hub is filled with 89 repositories thanks to Springboard. The flow and the structure of learning core technologies and frameworks and libraries helped me understand not only high level but also what is going on behind the scene when the coding is rendered, that allowed me to think more logically while debugging and applying my own ideas in the projects.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Dr. Nathan C. Walk Verified via LinkedInPhysician · Data Science Career Track · Graduated 2022
Worth the time and money
My name is Nathan Walk and I am a physician, specifically a Pathologist. I used Springboard and feel the experience was extremely worthwhile. Their educational framework – the foundation that they start with and how the instruction is pieced together into a whole – is very well done. While I did not complete the program (yet we get lifetime access to course materials) and it played only a partial role in my eventual job, it certainly helped. I recommend the program without reservation (except, make time for it and plan – it is real work). I also believe the Career Services and material presented there is nearly worth the price of admission. No searching around for ‘elevator speeches or structure of a corporation. Springboard succinctly gives you what you need to be in the know. Thanks for listening to one Doctor’s opinion.Overall4.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors4.0 -
