I began the transition from the healthcare industry to the IT industry last year and discovered Springboard’s Cyber Security Career Track while researching education options. This course more than prepared me to pass the CompTIA Security+ exam and taught me the basics needed to land my first tech job. Springboard’s curriculum was impeccably organized and explained complicated technical concepts in a way that someone new to cyber security can understand. Springboard also provides you with an industry expert mentor and expert career coaches who are there to guide you along the way. I definitely recommend this school!

I had very positive experience with Springboard. The extremely flexible self-learning pace schedule, the thorough curriculum which makes on understand every concept from the ground up, expertised mentors, supportive course advisors and a great community - everything that one needs to begin a career in Data Anyltics is right there. Highly recommend taking the course.

Springboard DAC program immensely helped me gain the skills and knowledge I need to pivot into a new career path as Data Analyst. The DAC curriculum is well structured and the project based assignments helped me gain confidence. The weekly mentor call was a huge plus for me! Learning from an industry expert 'the structured way of thinking' as a data analyst was my greatest learning. The Springboard's careers team is an amazing resource to help with preparing for interviews. Although the course is 6 month (self-paced), the weekly mentor calls and career coach calls helps with accountability and motivation. The mock call interviews towards the end really boost the confidence. Springboard's student advisor and the customer support were very accommodative to my situations and prompt with providing assistance from time to time! Also the Slack platform to interact with fellow students is an added advantage. I just completed my coursework and I feel more prepared and confident to make this shift in my career. I am glad I chose Springboard over the other program while I was exploring.

I had a very positive experience w/ Springboard's Data Analytics Career Track. Biggest pro for me was the curriculum. The work provided was crucial in developing skills. Another pro is that, for a completely remote program, they've organized the social aspects well (mentor calls, career services, coach calls) in a way that makes it feel less isolated. Cons - it's expensive for most people. In my experience it's worth the money though.

I wanted to make the switch to software engineering while also taking time off to travel. Springboard was the bootcamp that fit my needs, it gave me the flexibility to learn while on the road, is a great value, and really prepared me for the next step in my career. The curriculum is very comprehensive, but also well paced. The student community, mentor support, and student advisors make it a really great experience. Instead of feeling like you're just watching "how to code videos", you get real weekly feedback from your mentor, and you give and get feedback from other students on bigger projects as well, so there is a great feeling of community. The career coaching is also a crucially overlooked component to most bootcamps, and it really sets Springboard apart. I went from having no LinkedIn and a poor resume, to 250 connections in my network, and knowledge on networking, interview skills, and salary negotiation. My technical skills have also come a long way, you'll be amazed at how much you can learn, and I feel very well prepared for my next job. I would always recommend Springboard to anyone interested in making a switch to software development.

The content was massive, covered many topics that I'd need a new developer. One very important thing was code testing. It's often left out, and it's hirely desired for new devs to know. Springboard has that extensively covered. There's not a single topic they teach, that they also don't teach how to write tests for.

As someone who had no technical skills coming into the course, Springboard made learning easy and motivating. The curriculum was designed in a way to actively teach relevant technical skills and reinforce knowledge through projects. My mentor was amazing and helped me dive deeper into my learning by providing me industry level perspective and knowledge. My career coach helped me gain confidence and navigate the job market. The student support was very responsive to any questions or requests I had during the course. And, there was even 1:1 on demand mentor calls for when I was stuck on a project mid-week and wanted help before my weekly mentor call. Because of all the support and well-designed curriculum I was able to get a great job offer quickly despite having no work experience or previous technical knowledge! I am confident that the technical skills and statistical knowledge obtained in this course will set me up for success in my Data Science career. I highly recommend the course for anyone who is considering switching into Data Science!

My overall experience with Springboard has been great from start to finish. The entire team has been super supportive especially my mentor.
