I do not recommend this boot camp. After not being able to get a job in cyber security they advised me to look for IT helpdesk job. They do not cover the skills need for IT help desk jobs The material is not unique to springboard. They use LinkedIn learning videos which can be accessed for $30 a month with a LinkedIn premium account. The instructions on "mini-projects" are vague and incomplete. The mentors are not well screened. I was ghosted by to mentors my first week. I do not believe the material presented in the bootcamp alone would have prepared me for the CompTIA security + exam.

I was looking for a training in cybersecurity, and Springboard had a plan in place to help me achieve my goal and finally make a career switch. It takes dedication, discipline, diligence, sacrifice and hard work, all made possible by the Springboard strong support system plus one-on-one mentor who is an industry expert on your field. Can't beat that! I am thankful, grateful, and forever indebted to Springboard for helping me make the jump to this new field. I will recommend Springboard to anyone looking for an exciting training.

Job Guarantee is a scam. You come in with a baby in your hand - that's a missed call. You applied for a remote job, it doesn't count. You better not come in if you're in the car - even if you're parked. Sometimes my husband is deployed and I'm a single mom stuck at my kid's school so I have to reschedule. They will find ANYTHING for the contract to be nulled. My mentor couldn't come in on SEVERAL occasions, but I don't get my panties all scrunched up because she couldn't come in due to something going on in her life. You can learn all of this on your own, they just gather resources outside and link them in their course. It is not worth the expense. Lacks empathy for a company focused on empathizing with people.

For a full-time employee working 5 days not work from home, springboard was perfect for what I was looking for. Pros: - self-paced resources - mentor for questions and accountability - personally, I had a great experience with the industry project client and my team - network (met so many others that are embarking on their UX/UI journey/large alumni base) - personally, the feeling of confidence and preparedness post completion Cons: - most resources were linked google search-able articles (however, you don't know what you don't know so having the resources in the same place so this could be a pro as well) - somewhat isolated but thats the nature of virtual learning - everyones experience is different, but my mentor didn't respond to emails so I had to wait an entire week to get my questions answered during our weekly meetings.

I chose Springboard because they did not scream out they are the best, and they did not say they had better graduate employment statistics than this or that coding camp. Now after having graduated from Springboard I can tell you it is indeed an exceptional bootcamp. What makes them so is their unrelenting support of students. Whether you are stuck in the course or need to clarify something urgent in between your mentor calls, they give you many options of help. I must say their teaching assistants go above and beyond their standard 30-min duties. Some of them literally gave me their extra-time to make sure my problem is understood and resolved. I truly can say the same about their career coaches; they know exactly how to spot your weak points. I do not have experience with other bootcamps but Springboard leaves me with only warm feelings and memories. Good job Springboard - you are professionals!

Fantastic experience! This is a great program. Lots of support, talented mentors and experienced coaches.

The material was well designed and the workflow was great. At first it was daunting because the course was designed with a top-down approach, which really is the best way to learn. Springboard acknowledged this by saying not to spend too much time on any one thing because it was going to loop back for details. This was helpful. The Slack support was awesome, Paul and Frank specifically were great. These two and a few others were quick to help in the technical stuff and even foo zoom meetings if needed. I didn't deal much with the Springboard office group because it wasn't necessary, but the few times I had questions, they were quick to respond and help. As far off the course work, it's a lot and that's the point. It's thorough and touched on just about anything that one could run across in the field, but dug in with the details for the foundational things. It's best to be motivated to learn and devote the needed time depending on any previous knowledge that one may have. I had a background in higher mathematics, which was good for understanding algorithms, but very little in modeling via python packages, so that's where my time was dedicated. I shopped for about 6 months on the best camp, and I'm glad I choose Springboard.

Springboard give me self confident and they prepared me for getting my first job as a data analyst. They taught me lots of skills to succeed.
