    Decent Program

    Overall it's a good program for changing career or starting on a new field. Personalized mentorship, hands-on projects, and career coaching was helpful for transition into data analytics roles. Those projects helped to get technical understanding and also prepared me to enhance my story telling and presentation skills. I also really liked the last part of the program that helped me to build a strong resume , and provided me an opportunity to practice interview questions. That really help...

    Data Engineer Springboard Certification

    The Data Engineer Certification program from Springboard was great. The highlight for me was working with my mentor every week. Springboard did a good job matching me with a good mentor as well as plotting out a good course to understand data engineering. The capstone project was a great resource while applying for jobs.

    WORTH EVERY PENNY!

    I attended the UXUI Career track program at Springboard. The bootcamp provided me the launching pad I needed to get into the industry and kick start my career. The bootcamp is intense but full of all the skills I needed to change my life.

    Waste of money

    Horrible experience. So a better research and go somewhere else. You'd only waste your money here. The curriculum is out of Linkedin learning. The lab classes are outdated. The mentors are not helpful at all. Lastly, the career service has no clue what they are doing.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that your experience in our Cyber Security program was not what you expected.

    Our curriculum is designed by experts in the field of cyber security, together with our team of instructional designers to provide students with the best resources available. Throughout their course, students are mentored by professionals in the field to support their technical learning. All of our course mentors go through a rigorous vetting process and hold senior positions in cyber security, such as Jay James (Cyber Security Operations Lead at Auburn University), Alissa Torres (Senior Threat Hunter at Palo Alto Networks), and Mark Adams (Senior Manager, IT Security & Compliance at Superior Energy).

    In addition to mentorship, students are also supported by career coaches who help them to prepare a tailored job search strategy, and a number of other subject matter experts who support, such as TA's and mentor-hosted Office Hours sessions. We hold all of these individuals to a very high standard of service in support of students. If that standard was not met for you, we sincerely apologize and value your feedback.

    If you felt that there was anything we could have done better to support you towards a successful experience in the course, we value that feedback and would love to hear from you. Please feel free to contact advising@springboard.com and schedule a call with us.

    Thank you once again for your review and we look forward to hearing from you.

    Sincerely,
    Dave Austin

    mentor-assisted, helpful, guidance needed

    My mentor was the key to my success at Springboard - we would have weekly meetings where we would go over my work and design and since he was from the same field, he would provide his critique, feedback and any other helpful resources he could in order for me to achieve better work.

    Great bootcamp

    Springboard had all the important topics that many jobs are looking for. The lecture videos showed a lot of details and step by step instructions on how to go about it. The only cons were that some lectures were outdated and needed to be updated with current standards.

    UX UI Design Career Track

    I completed the UX UI Career Track program and I loved it! The curriculum was very engaging and allowed me to learn at my own pace, which I loved. You also receive a mentor to work with you through the course and this was incredibly beneficial! I also really loved the IDP program, you get to work with a real company and other designers, it is an awesome real world experience!  I am just entering the job search so will update my thoughts throughout that as well!

    Do not recommend

    I am reviewing the Software Engineering Career Track. The only thing I would recommend about this program is the job guarantee. Curriculum teaches Python, which is a great language for devOps and data science, but this is a limiting option for software engineers. There are many more jobs for those who know C# and Java. In addition, the experience with my mentor was disappointing and there wasn't enough of a social aspect to the bootcamp. After awhile, I also found myself fatigued by the ...
