Springboard

This program is self-driven, and really only for the dedicated student who is motivated to accomplish things on their own. While I received assistance and input from my mentor, there was really very little other guidance through the program. The resources... Read More utilized for the curriculum are reasonable... but some were less than exemplary. 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.
I feel like I learned a lot... about cybersecurity and about myself through this course.

If you're thinking about doing a boot camp, this is the one. The technical mentorship alone is worth the price, it is very thorough, and you will be very well-prepared for a new career in Data. From how to approach the job search, to the technical material,... Read More to how to network and build a personal brand, this experience is invaluable. 5/5 for professional career changers like me, and this program is cheaper than other ones. The job guarantee was another big reason why I did the program because I qualified.

Data is the new oil, and the world is becoming increasingly digital with the advent of ChatGPT and Google Gemini. The President of the United States as of the time of this writing) just passed a $500 Billion dollar investment in AI infrastructure called Project Stargate, which aims to bring more jobs to the US. Recently there has been a major shift in the technology job market, but knowing how to code will always be valuable in any profession, there is still opportunity everywhere.

They will help you put your best foot forward no matter what your situation is. If you're looking to join a BootCamp, this one is it.

I am a recent grad of the Springboard Bootcamp for UX/UI Design. It was an intensive bootcamp that gave me all the knowledge and support I needed. I had no clear understanding at the beginning but after 9 months I am confident with my skills. They were... Read More supportive and helped me with any questions I had through out.

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... Read More 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. 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.

The bootcamp offers an excellent, practical curriculum that helps me build a comprehensive knowledge base. Whenever I have questions or need clarification, they provide timely support through a 24-hour discussion platform, on-demand mentor calls, and... Read More other resources. Additionally, I have a dedicated mentor who supports me throughout the journey. We meet weekly via Zoom to discuss progress and address any challenges. The program also includes mock interviews, capstone projects, and numerous assignments that guide me toward my goals.

Overall, it’s an outstanding bootcamp that I highly recommend to others.

I just finished Springboard UX/UI Bootcamp. The course is well structured. At the end of the course, I was placed in a real project for a Startup company. It gave me a good understanding on collaboration and time commitments. I researched other courses... Read More before taking Springboard course. This course is well structured with access to Mentors and Career coaches. Price seems to be expensive than some other bootcamps, but having mentor to guide me was really useful to gain deeper understanding. I felt spending $15000 for a course that can push you to finish and have mentor access is better than spending $4000 on a course that I will never finish. Please make sure you pace through the curriculum quickly to have enough time at the end to apply for industry project. Support team is very responsive.

There were a lot of resources provided to students that I am grateful for. I found the coursework appropriately difficult but all of the information that I needed to complete a project was easily accessible. The biggest challenge I faced was managing... Read More the course while working full time as a spa manager. I do wish I had a bit more time to really immerse myself in the program without being distracted by work.

I started the Software Engineering career track with Springboard in September of 2023 and completed it in November of 2024. It took me longer than expected (10-11 months is the expectation) to complete the course since I had to balance my schedule with... Read More a full time job with work related travel and many life events but the Springboard team was very accommodating and allowed me to finish in a timeline that worked for my situation.

I already work in software as a business systems analyst but taking the software engineering track was valuable for me because it helped me get more in depth knowledge in the technical side of my work and a deeper understanding of what the developers on my team work through day to day. The course material in Springboard provided me a good technical baseline to continue my education in software because it gave me a good principled understanding of software development and how current web based applications generally work.

Despite some of the technologies and frameworks being taught in the course not being the latest and most popular in the industry, the understanding gained from this bootcamp allowed me to explore and pick up new technologies very quickly because it gave me a good foundational understanding of how web applications work. So I would recommend not reading into which languages/frameworks are being taught in Springboard as a detractor from taking this course. The material is of high quality and Colt Steeles videos are very easy to follow and well planned out.

This was a fantastic program for anyone looking for an easy to follow, self-paced curriculum. It gave me all the tools I needed to crush the CompTIA Security+ exam and position myself for a long and rewarding career in the cybersecurity field. The advisors/mentors...

It was overall a good experience. I learned a lot from the program. You work at your own pace which was a big help. I liked all the labs that were provided, it gave us hands on experience in the topics we were covering. I was able to take the knowledge...
