Manageable course content, good mentors, career coaching very mediocre.
Course content needs reviewing, it was not very helpful for a newbie to this industry like me. I still have a lot to learn now that I have graduated and am looking in this field for a job. Career coaches are not that great. I would’ve loved some live lessons by experienced instructors who are subject matter experts in this area. - Frank PerezGraduate • Cyber Security Career Track • OnlineFeb 24, 2025Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

One of the standout aspects of this program is the personalized mentorship. My mentor was an experienced cybersecurity professional who provided invaluable insights, feedback, and career advice. Their guidance made all the difference in keeping me motivated and ensuring I was on the right track.The career coaching is another major highlight.

Some of the reference materials are from providers in the industry and so offer information primarily about the products that they offer rather than an overall experience. I feel that the time spent moving through the curriculum was a great deal higher than the estimates and averages offered by the program. Reading the articles and watching the videos, while taking notes on the information, was much more time consuming than expected.

UI/UX Design: Decent but can be hit or miss
When getting paired with a mentor, it's really the luck of the draw. Some are amazing, whereas others not so much. For example, my first mentor gave me 0 support during the first month and ghosted me, which set me back a lot. I ended up requesting to be rematched. My second mentor was very knowledgable and helpful. However, for the first half of the course I only got to meet with him every 2 weeks, which left me blocked without feedback for long periods of time.

My second mentor was very knowledgable and helpful. However, for the first half of the course I only got to meet with him every 2 weeks, which left me blocked without feedback for long periods of time. The curriculum is mostly a curation of online articles and youtube videos - practically no original content. There are some really helpful resources in there, but you reap what you sow. I'd advise you to dive deep into the curriculum and make use of the resources (mentor calls, on-demand mentor calls, pauses, the slack community, student advisors, etc). During the majority of the course, the student advising team members were super helpful, but towards the end I dealt with quite an unprofessional one. The top 3 things about this program are: 1) The wisdom I got from my mentor and on-demand mentors; 2) the skills I gained during the 4 projects; and 3) The job guarantee for peace of mind. - Andrew M.Student • Cyber Security Career Track • OnlineJan 03, 2025Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The Head of Admissions, Justin, will charm you into signing up, but once you’re in, communication is nonexistent. You’re left dealing with unhelpful Zendesk employees who take forever to respond with vague, useless answers—if they even bother to get back to you at all.
I requested a refund after my disastrous experience, and it was a nightmare. First, they claimed it would take 45 days. When the time passed, they blamed a “glitch” and asked me to wait another 3-10 days—only to ultimately deny the refund altogether. Now I’m involving my bank to resolve this mess.
The content they charge $8-10k for is laughable—completely outdated and freely available online. Their so-called “mentors” and “career counselors” are unprofessional and unhelpful, constantly rescheduling and offering useless advice like suggesting entry-level IT Help Desk jobs. You’d be better off watching free Professor Messer videos and using LinkedIn Learning.
Their “labs,” which they market as exclusive, are actually from INFOSEC and can be purchased directly for around $100. Don’t waste your time, money, or energy on this fraudulent company. - Scott SchoenGraduate • Cyber Security Career Track • OnlineDec 30, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Well structured UX/UI bootcamp
UX/UI bootcamp at Springboard helped me get deeper understanding of the concepts. I have researched about other bootcamps before joining Springboard. I think Springboard standsout because of their mentor support and Industry project. Make sure to pace through your course to be able to accommodate your industry design project at the end. Mentors are very helpful in understanding the problems in our designs.

For my full time job people - this was intense!
About Me:I chose a bootcamp because 1.) I desire to work in this field more than I can express 2.) An ex-coworker took this bootcamp and landed a role and 3.) I needed a structured, step-by-step curriculum to guide me through the UX/UI design process. Balancing the program with a full-time job was challenging, and I often found myself short on time to meet deadlines. On average, I dedicated around 12 hours a week to studying and completed Springboard’s UX/UI p...About Me:I chose a bootcamp because 1.) I desire to work in this field more than I can express 2.) An ex-coworker took this bootcamp and landed a role and 3.) I needed a structured, step-by-step curriculum to guide me through the UX/UI design process. Balancing the program with a full-time job was challenging, and I often found myself short on time to meet deadlines. On average, I dedicated around 12 hours a week to studying and completed Springboard’s UX/UI program in 12 months. I did take pauses along the way to catch up on coursework, which prolonged my timeline. Without the support of my amazing mentor and the exceptional IDP team I was paired with, it likely would’ve taken me at least three more months to finish. If you’re considering this bootcamp, I strongly recommend doing it while working part-time or not at all if you can—it will better prepare you for a role in UX/UI.
Pros: • Comprehensive Curriculum: The course covers all the fundamentals of UX/UI design, using curated free articles and videos. While these resources are available online, the program saves you time by organizing and vetting them. You’ll still need to dive deeper into some topics on your own, but you’ll have a clear path to follow. • Graded Assignments: Assignments provide an opportunity to practice your skills and get detailed, actionable feedback. • Flexibility: You can work at your own pace, even tackling sections in a different order. Many people don’t finish within the initial 9-month timeline, but free extensions make it manageable (and I personally found them helpful). • Mentorship: My mentor was incredible—offering honest critiques, real-world advice about the design industry, and detailed answers to my questions. This guidance made a huge difference in my progress. • Career Support: The program includes career coaching during and after the course. While the experience depends on your coach, it’s helpful to have someone review your resume, portfolio, and applications while keeping you accountable. • Independent Design Project (IDP): The IDP was my favorite part of the course, even though I typically loathe group projects in traditional school. Working with others who were equally motivated was key to delivering a high-quality project on time. It gave me valuable real-world experience and the confidence to tackle team-based projects in the future.
Cons: • Outdated Materials: Some articles are as old as 10 years, and occasionally links to resources are broken or unavailable. • Unrealistic Timelines: Suggested timelines for assignments don’t always account for beginners learning new tools or concepts. I also felt some career-related content could have been better structured, though the flexibility to work out of order helped. • Job Guarantee: The job guarantee (a refund if you don’t secure a job in 6-12 months) is legitimate but has strict requirements. To qualify, you’ll need to complete the course, apply for a set number of jobs weekly, build and maintain new professional connections, conduct informational interviews, and continue to upskill.
Final Thoughts:Despite a few shortcomings, I have no regrets about completing this bootcamp. It provided me with a solid foundation to pursue entry- or junior-level roles in UX/UI design. If you can dedicate part-time or full-time attention to it, the program is absolutely worth it! Working with a supportive mentor and a highly motivated IDP team made the experience truly rewarding. - William ThompsonGraduate • Cyber Security Career Track • OnlineDec 08, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Good Program
It was overall a good experience. I learned a lot from the program. You work at your own pace which was a big help.

Springboard's Cybersecurity Program
I really appreciated the thoughtful structure of the program. The support system was excellent, including mentors, advisors, coaches, and peers. While it was a lot to absorb, with dedication and a well-planned schedule, achieving the desired outcome is entirely possible. - Elizabeth PhelpsGraduate • Cyber Security Career Track • OnlineDec 02, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great Support Team
I had a limited background in tech when I started the intense bootcamp with Springboard. I had many recourses and a great team available to utilize through the program and PASSED the CompTIA Security+ exam on my first try. It prepared me well! Furthermore, being new to the field the job guarantee and career coaching through the job search was very appealing.
