Overall, my experience with Springboard was quite positive. The thing that really stood out was the mentorship that I didn't receive in my four-year degree. I was coming in from a four-year degree in psychology and looking to polish my UX/UI skills in addition to the User Research skills I gained during my degree.

The thing that really stood out was the mentorship that I didn't receive in my four-year degree. I was coming in from a four-year degree in psychology and looking to polish my UX/UI skills in addition to the User Research skills I gained during my degree. If you're a bit of a perfectionist like me, having the structure of a course rather than self-learning so you don't get stuck in a loop of it not being good enough is really, really helpful. I cannot state that enough. My mentor had worked for Fortune 500 finance companies and was currently working in the UX field. Actual hiring managers also reviewed our projects. I came away with skills and a portfolio that I'm proud of, and I think that was owed in large part to the quality of the Mentor that I was paired with so my experience may differ from yours, but if any of the other mentors are like the one I got then Springboard is absolutely worth the time and effort as well as the cost.
Speaking of the cost, I really wish they would just get rid of the job guarantee as a way to get you into the program. I think if you're going into a program primarily with the motivation of saving money or not having to pay money, versus the quality of education, then you're not going into it the right way. This is still cheaper than a master's degree, but whether you'll need a master's degree depends heavily on your field. I don't see too many UX designers with them, so I don't know how necessary it is. You also get six months of job help after graduating, which is intensely valuable. Again, you could learn this on your own and save the money. Most of our course materials were stuff you could just look up on YouTube, but you won't come away with something as polished generally without the structure and guidance that a mentor can provide. I wish all universities were like this bootcamp as far as the mentorship model. Again, if you take your time and go longer than the nine months and self-pay, you'll come away with the quality portfolio, but most of the negative reviews are from people who tried really, really hard to finish in the nine months, which is rushed in my opinion. I think Springboard should be a year and a half or two-year program, and that most people won't come away with a competitive portfolio if they rush to meet the nine-month deadline to get the job guarantee. So please be OK with spending a bit more money, and take your time. Accept that you might have a little bit of debt and come away with a polished portfolio with their excellent mentors.
If you can afford to take your time with it and potentially not get that guaranteed refund, then I highly recommend Springboard, but if your primary motivation is to come away without taking on any financial burden, then I think that would be extremely difficult to do without compromising your portfolio and just generally difficult to do in the first place. There's a lot of fine print and most people I know either took longer than the recommended time or didn't qualify for the job guarantee refund for a lot of other reasons. I highly recommend Springboard for those looking to polish their UX/UI skills.- Ashwin RachakondaGraduate • Software Engineering Career Track • OnlineOct 14, 2025Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Everything felt new and unfamiliar — from basic programming logic to understanding tools and frameworks that are commonly used in the tech industry. However, with consistent effort and a dedicated approach, things gradually started to make sense. The learning curve was steep, but what helped me the most was staying disciplined and setting aside regular time for studying, practicing, and revising what I learned each day.The boot camp itself is incredibly informative and well-structured. It covers a wide range of topics, giving participants a strong foundation in various areas such as web development, databases, APIs, and more. The instructors are knowledgeable and supportive, often breaking down complex topics into simpler parts, which really helps someone without prior exposure to IT. There are also practical assignments and projects that reinforce learning through hands-on experience.In short, while the beginning can be overwhelming for someone without an IT background, the key is to remain consistent. If you're able to commit time and effort, this boot camp can provide a solid and comprehensive introduction to the tech field, opening new career opportunities. - Oscar O RiveraGraduate • Cyber Security Career Track • OnlineJul 29, 2025Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Cons

And then my father died.
I suddenly found my entire world turned upside down with less time and more responsibilities shortly after starting the SpringBoard boot camp. I just couldn't do it all. I was feeling overwhelmed, crushed, and despairing.
I reached out to their support team to complain about something I just couldn't get to work and received a phone call soon after (it was within 24 hours, if not the same day). The representative could not have been more supportive. They granted me an extra month of time, found me a mentor that would better suit my needs and schedule, and were overall very considerate and positive despite what I had been through.
The pressure was off and I could breathe again.
I had to work hard in order to get through everything on time, but I did it.
The two best things that will always stand out to me are the practical work with a professional mentor and their extraordinary support team. I could probably have gone online elsewhere and found what I needed for a lot less, but the practical experience and having someone to talk to (my mentor, not just the support team) made all the difference in the world!
No, the whole program was not perfect; there were dead reference links, and it was hard to find how to get help sometimes, but it was definitely a great experience over all. - Eboni StreeterGraduate • UI / UX Design Career Track • OnlineJun 23, 2025Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
