    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 The only cons were that some lectures were outdated and needed to be updated with current standards.

    Finished the course feeling prepared for the career switch

    It's scary thinking of switching careers but Springboard made it easy. The curriculum covered everything you need to know to get you started and with all the support you receive from mentors and career coaches, I truly finished feeling prepared to start applying.

    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 ...

    I had a great experience!

    My overall experience with Springboard was great. I am transitioning from the scientific research field into the design industry, and I felt the materials presented in the course was sufficient at providing the necessary tools to gain UI/UX design experience. 

    I feel like a student will get the most of out of this course if they push themselves independently.

    Great overall

    Pros:
    Mentor support, career services, job guarantee, curriculum content, flexibility.

    Cons:
    Curriculum delivery

    This was my second bootcamp experience, after having a misunderstanding about the job guarantee with the first one. Once I vetted Springboard's job guarantee, it was a no-brainer to sign up. At the time of this writing (March 2022) I had an option to pay only after I received a qualifying position, or else I wouldn't have to pay at all.

    An overpriced waist of time

    This program is a total waist of money. You can easily learn everything they teach you here and pay 1/6th of the price tag. ALL of the coding lessons come from data camp, so right there you can easily just pay for the data camp data science career track and you just saved yourself a pretty penny. Then they just copy and paste some web articles into the curriculum. Its absolutely ridiculous that you have to pay thousands more for data camp with a bunch of hype. I still haven't found a job...
