About my mentor, for my questions, he always ask me to try my own ideas and see the result, not just tell me to do this or not do that blablabla. My mentor likes to ask me questions to deepen my understanding and then explain, which is helpful for my learning. The most important drawbacks of the camp is its career support, it doesnot provide any internship with the partner or any internal referal, especially for me who want to change the career focus. - Brady FlanneryGraduate • Software Engineering Career Track • OnlineApr 17, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great Hands On Experience
Working with Springboard was a very rewarding experience. Throughout my time in the program, I really got a grasp of modern software engineering techniques and all sorts of commonly used programs and languages. The hands-on approach they take to teaching made it super immersive and relatable. I also want to note how beneficial the weekly 1:1 mentor calls were towards my understanding and success.

The hands-on approach they take to teaching made it super immersive and relatable. I also want to note how beneficial the weekly 1:1 mentor calls were towards my understanding and success.
What I loved most was how the program gave me the freedom to take control of my learning journey. Sure, I could have just cruised through the curriculum, but diving deeper and pushing myself to go beyond the assignments gives you a great understanding to go off and make your own projects in your free time. It's amazing how much you can grow when you're given the space to explore and create on your own. Plus, it's all about building that killer portfolio, right? So, yeah, Springboard definitely helped me level up in more ways than one. - Lili NotovitzGraduate • UI / UX Design Career Track • OnlineApr 16, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Great Career Prep
Springboard is a great way to transition careers. The mentorship they offer is really helpful as well as the IDP (internship that links you with a real company to get on the job experience). Nice to perform at your own pace - they are generous with extensions and support. - ArtinGraduate • Software Engineering Career Track • OnlineApr 09, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Waste of money
The bootcamp doesn't offer anything that is unique or special. You can learn everything that is taught in the course by spending less than $100 purchasing a full stack web development course from Udemy. In fact, the tutorial videos used in their course is available on Udemy.

In fact, the tutorial videos used in their course is available on Udemy.
The mentorship they offer is a joke. My mentor did not know anything about web development. Every time I asked him a question, he directed me to some web page instead of him explaining the topic or discussing the issue. After some time, I realized that asking him specific question about web development was a waste of time. The job guarantee they offer is scheme used to entice folks to purchase the course. The company can and will change the job guarantee period as the job market changes. Right after I completed the course, they changed the job guarantee period from 6 months to 9 months.
I think there was a time where having gone to bootcamp helped you get a job but it has become very difficult for current graduates to land a job. So why should anyone spend $10K on a course that will not help them land a job as a developer or help them increase their salary. Also, there are many other alternatives to bootcamp when it comes to learning web development that is cheaper and allows you to learn the same concepts.
My advise is to not waste your money at Springboard or any other bootcamp.Roger H of Springboard

Hi Artin,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.We understand there are many free resources available for learning web development. Springboard's approach includes selectively curating the most effective materials across various platforms to ensure our students can learn the most relevant concepts efficiently and thoroughly. By organizing these resources and pairing them with structured support, we aim to optimize your learning journey and save you the time you might spend searching for and vetting swaths of materials on your own that might not be useful to landing a web development role.We are disheartened to hear about your experience with your mentor. Our mentorship program is designed to provide direct, expert support, and it sounds like we missed the mark in your case. In addition to scheduled mentor sessions, we encourage our students to utilize our on-demand mentorship, TA sessions, and career coaching as needed.The job guarantee program is intended to alleviate some of the stress associated with finding a job in a competitive market. While it's true that market conditions can necessitate adjustments to the job guarantee period, these changes are made with the intent of giving our graduates enough time to find the right opportunity. Regardless of the job guarantee, our commitment remains strong to assist all of our students in landing meaningful entry-level positions in their field of study.We would love to hear more about your experience and discuss how we can improve.

Springboard UI/UX Bootcamp Review: Insights and Challenges
My experience at Springboard's UI/UX bootcamp was a whirlwind adventure that spanned a year. The curriculum packed in a ton of useful information, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to access it even after completing the program. However, navigating through mentorship was a bit of a challenge.

The curriculum packed in a ton of useful information, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to access it even after completing the program. However, navigating through mentorship was a bit of a challenge. I initially struggled with a mentor who wasn't the best fit but was able to switch to a much more supportive one after speaking up to my career advisor. One downside was the absence of AI for UX, which I was hoping to learn about, and the reliance on third-party resources like Medium for curriculum content felt a bit underwhelming. Nevertheless, the highlight of the bootcamp was undoubtedly the industry project, where I got to collaborate with a real company, gaining invaluable hands-on experience. Despite its flaws, Springboard provided me with a solid foundation to kickstart my career in UI/UX design. - Gurnoor KahlonGraduate • UI / UX Design Career Track • OnlineApr 01, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

- I've heard the job guarantee can be voided by Springboard at any time at their discretion
Note: this review comes as a recent graduate who is just starting career coaching. I've yet to find a job.

The course was good, though mostly reading various articles and watching videos and then trying to do stuff myself. I also picked Springboard because of their externship at the end of the course, which was a great experience for me, and I think will help set me apart from other junior candidates. - Olga QuarantaSoftware Engineering • Applicant • Software Engineering Career Track • OnlineMar 11, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
I have learned new skills and new approaches for job searching.
I needed to freshen up my coding skills and I was thing about applying to a bootcamp.
Of course, I was skeptical. What if I don’t like curriculum, I don’t like my Mentor, I don’t like the Coach advisor?
I asked so many questions to the Sales Manager at Springboard and I was content with the responses.
Springboard curriculum helped me, also, I never missed a meeting with my Mentor, Muhammad. He gave me tips and push me to do better projects.

Lack of engagement: The curriculum does not really test you or engrain the information into you after you learn it. You essentially read and continue.

The labs were particularly enlightening, providing hands-on experience that truly solidified my understanding.
But what truly sets Springboard apart is the support system it offers. My mentor and career coaches have been invaluable resources throughout this journey. Their guidance and encouragement propelled me forward, helping me navigate challenges and capitalize on opportunities.

However, my journey with Springboard Cyber Security Career Track has been nothing short of transformative, leading me from a place of uncertainty to landing my first role as a Security Analyst within a year.
I began my Springboard course in March 2023, armed with determination and a willingness to learn. The curriculum provided a comprehensive foundation in cybersecurity, covering essential topics ranging from threat detection to risk management. What truly set Springboard apart was its holistic approach to learning. Not only did I gain technical expertise, but there was also a strong emphasis on networking and personal branding.
One aspect that significantly contributed to my success was the opportunity to become a Springboard cybersecurity peer mentor. This role not only solidified my understanding of the material but also allowed me to engage with and learn from fellow learners, fostering a sense of community and collaboration.
In December, I achieved significant milestones by obtaining certifications such as CompTIA Security+ and (ISC)² CC. These credentials bolstered my credibility in the field and opened doors to new opportunities.
However, the true testament to Springboard's efficacy came when I secured my first role as a Security Analyst in February of the following year. The personalized support I received throughout my journey, including one-on-one sessions with mentors and career coaches, was invaluable. They provided guidance, encouragement, and practical advice, steering me towards the right direction every step of the way.
Moreover, Springboard's emphasis on developing my professional brand through LinkedIn profile and resume reviews proved instrumental in showcasing my skills and experiences to potential employers.
Reflecting on my experience, I firmly believe that Springboard has the potential to empower anyone with the desire to switch careers to cybersecurity. The structured curriculum, combined with personalized mentorship and career guidance, creates an environment conducive to success. My journey with Springboard has not only equipped me with the necessary skills but also instilled the confidence to thrive in the ever-evolving field of cybersecurity. If you're considering a career change into cybersecurity, I wholeheartedly recommend Springboard as your launchpad to success. - Anthony RichittGraduate • Cyber Security Career Track • OnlineJan 30, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
A very fluid schooling experience
My greatest experience with Springboard was the support I got from them. There were many circumstances during my studies where my schedule was incredible unpredictable. No matter what, they always were willing to work with me through it. I can absolutely see myself doing another course with them in the future.
