Springboard Avis 356

Learned so much from my experience with Springboard! I feel confident that I have a worthwhile portfolio and am confident entering the job search. I had an amazing mentor that helped keep me on track and provided valuable feedback throughout the course.

Please AVOID AT ALL COSTS! SPRINGBOARD IS A SCAM.

I completed Springboard's Software Engineering Career Track bootcamp and had a great experience. The curriculum is comprehensive and covers more topics than other bootcamps I have seen. 1 on 1 mentor support is genuinely impressively and introduced me to real world code reviews and industry practices.
I highly recommend Spring SWE program to anyone looking to change their career!

One of the most challenging and rewarding things I have ever done. The curriculum, layout, and projects, along with mentorship support, are unmatched!

The best part of the Springboard Cybersecurity track is the ability to get hands on knowledge with all topics and tools in the industry. With help from your mentor and career coaches you will be ready to start your Cybersecurity journey after completing this course. Special Thanks to all the people from Springboard who helped me along the way!!

The course I took for over $10k was horrible. The overall curriculum was basic and boring. Videos and reading I could have done all online on Youtube etc.
The mentors are beyond useless. Late or don't show to meetings, aren't interested in helping you and just seem to 'phone it in' to get paid.
Trying to help or support from Springboard is the worst. Once you've committed and paid good luck. Default canned responses with 'no'.
Think the employment guarantee is a good thing? Ya, no. There are so many rules and fine print that it is next to impossible to get in the end and they will work to cancel the guarantee so they don't have to honour it. READ THE WHOLE CONTRACT AND FINE PRINT IN DEPTH, you'll see it.
Also, they must get kickbacks from pushing loans. They will run a hard credit check on you before you signup for anything and then questioned on it say 'that's our policy'.
Do yourself a favor and look at any other online course provider. You'll save a lot of money and time.

Easy to follow curriculum. Great support from my mentor, slack community, and the spring board team

I learned a lot of useful skills and feel confident in my ability for UI/UX Design.

I had a great experience with Springboard career track program. The Springboard staff (student advisor, mentor, and career coaches) was very supportive.The program is fast-paced with detailed course material. If you are looking for a Cybersecurity bootcamp this is the one for you!!

I want to express my gratitude to my data science institution for their valuable guidance and support. I owe my current position to their expert training and education. They provided me with the necessary tools and knowledge to excel in this field, for which I am very grateful. I am eager to expand my learning and development with their continued assistance.

My experience at Springboard has been good, but the learning materials could use more variety. My mentor Nima has helped make this pivot easier.

Springboard has been the best learning experience I have ever had. I can't say enough about my mentor Chris. I have great appreciation about his insights and experience in the data analyst community. With his encouragement and friendship I am grateful to have met him in my life. The Springboard community is more like a family to me and supports me all along the way as I embark on my career change as a data analyst.

Amazing experience with fundamental topics

I can hardly believe how much I learned in such a short time! It was A LOT of very challenging work, but I really do have a portfolio of projects that I can now modify to make my own. I also had a fantastic mentor that was with me every step of the way. It was definitely a 5-star experience!

The 4 major projects duration that springboard given to the student. The first project had enough time to understand end to end process by taking enough time, second sprint project to learn how to speed up the project, third project how we can work on regular time constraints and IDP with team and client collaboration. At the end I got good understanding of real project experience. Even though it’s online, the support of Mentor and student advisor, including support team that I received is awesome!

This review is well overdue: Springboard was a life-changing experience, not only for the content, but the people you meet within this program (instructors, support staff, and students alike). Everyone is incredibly supportive and attentive to each other's needs. No matter how difficult a topic may be, you can always count on someone to help you and guide you promptly. The content is very digestible for beginners and encourages even the most experienced/astute to reinforce what they already know. What I found most helpful from this program was the career development curriculum, from learning how to properly format a resume & LinkedIn profile to connecting & building substantial relationships with industry insiders. These projects were pivotal in making a successful career transition from a job where I felt trapped to an esteemed role with opportunity for growth and healthier work-life balance. Above all else, it was the people in this program that helped make a difference in my life, as they were optimistic, inspiring, and they believed in me. I highly recommend joining Springboard if you want to make positive & impactful changes in your life and that of others as well.

A really good program. I learned so much, It took a lot of discipline. Had an amazing mentor who was such a help. absolutely loved all of the career coaches. Loved the structure of the program. Hope they update the course content as some of it is dated. I'm just finished as of August 1. As part of the job guarantee program, we will see what sort of support and outcomes happen for me. I am hopeful I will be writing a second positive review once I find a job within the cybersecurity realm. Thank you Springboard!!!!

Fast to get responses.
