"Challenging, fast-paced, but highly rewarding."
Springboard was perfect for me because of their ability to offer a great curriculum taught by an incredible software engineer (Colt Steele), impressive academic and career support (their responses to my emails were always very prompt and courteous), and... Read More
If there is one thing I think they could improve, I think it's that the coursework is primarily if not entirely independent. I think the curriculum and the students' portfolio would benefit greatly from at least one big group project.

"A worthwhile endeavor for anyone seeking a change in their career or to start a new one."
I just completed my entire course and am awaiting my certificate! Springboard has been a great bootcamp overall in my experience. As an individual who was working full-time and finishing assignments, projects, etc., I loved the admin and support's flexibility... Read More
While this bootcamp provided great coursework, a structured plan on how to teach the student what is needed of an engineer from A to Z, and a supportive community of co-students and alumni, it's important to note that working through all of this doesn't mean that you're guaranteed a job at your front door. Like any other tech bootcamp, choosing to dive into such a journey requires that you be prepared and fully committed, considering your professional and personal lifestyle, how this will fit into your schedule, and ultimately what it will mean for you to achieve completion. In other words, you'll get the most value out of this if you're really set on achieving a career and being inspired and motivated by your personal reasons. Only you can make this work for you - the bootcamp is there to help launch you to the right trajectory.
Additional feedback: I'd say that while the admin and support team have been great, there were times when confusing answers were given if I needed help with something (outside the curriculum). Some improvements in communication and providing accurate details of Springboard's policies would be great for future students.
That and everything else being said, I had a great time as a student here. I found lots of great value in the lessons taught and their guidance on how an engineer should think and operate, networking advice, community support, and much more! Currently ready to embark on a new career, I hope learning with Springboard will be worth something to you!
