I can’t recommend Springboard based on my experience. I’ve failed the second assignment six times, even though my mentor has reviewed my work and said it looks good. The mentor and graders don’t seem to be on the same page, and I’m left without a clear explanation of what I need to change to pass. It makes me wonder what the point of having a mentor is if their guidance doesn’t help me meet the graders’ expectations. I do want to say that my mentor has been great. My frustration is with the grading process, not with her. When I raised concerns about the grading process, I received a polite email, but I didn’t feel that the underlying problem was addressed. At roughly $15,000, the program hasn’t felt worth the cost to me. I wouldn’t recommend spending that money without getting clear answers about how assignments are graded and how students can resolve conflicting feedback.

I enrolled in Springboard’s Medical Assistant program, which was advertised as a 16-week online program that included an externship and pathway to certification. I successfully completed all of my coursework and passed the CCMA exam on July 2, 2026. However, I still cannot obtain my certification because I have not been able to complete the required externship. Springboard began looking for an externship placement for me around mid-April. Since then, I have experienced repeated delays, poor communication, and lack of follow-through. I had an interview on May 6, but the site had no record of my interview. I later had a meet-and-greet on June 30 and received no follow-up. My classes ended June 3, and I passed my CCMA exam July 2, yet I was still without an externship. I finally had another interview on August 14. During that interview, the interviewer expressed concerns about my program being online. Since then, I have received no meaningful follow-up from Springboard. As of September 12, I have been left waiting despite repeatedly trying to get updates. I completed the program and passed the certification exam, but I am being prevented from moving forward in my career because the required externship has not been secured. This has been extremely frustrating after investing significant time and effort into the program. As of today September 14 2026 my advisor has stopped communicating with me completely as well as my externship coordinator.

Scam misleading advertising they hide the real price I refuse to pay a scammer

Spoke with the onboarding folks here and got a lot of information that sounded great, but something was a little off. So, I looked up how many people actually finish and if they end up have to get extensions (which are $1500/mo) and it's extremely high. ~7% finish on time, ~29% need 3-4 month extensions, others either don't finish, or extend even longer. When I asked about it they ghosted me completely, even after two follow-ups. I wasn't rude, I just asked for clarity and if I could negotiate the extension cost.

Springboard provided a structured course which helped me learn skills at a good pace. Excellent support from both career coaches and my mentor allowed me to develop both my technical skills and job hunting skills.

I had a fantastic experience with Springboard and would highly recommend it. The curriculum was comprehensive and I learned a tremendous amount throughout the program. What really stood out was the level of support I received—the staff was responsive and genuinely invested in my success, and I benefited greatly from connecting with other students in the program. As someone who was moving and raising a child during the program, the flexibility Springboard offers was absolutely crucial. I could work through the material at my own pace and fit my studies around my family responsibilities and life changes. Overall, Springboard delivered on its promises with quality education, a supportive community, and the adaptability I needed to succeed.

The Curated curriculum is fantastic and My mentor help me understand the task in a very good way

Couple of things are very wrong with, and I got mislead by their online reviews and ended up enrolling in one of the course, it was probably one of my worst decisions. This is very objective list of issues: Their course is nothing but bunch of random Youtube videos, one-two page generic articles, their On-Demand mentors and Slack helps are basically never on time and usually unhelpful, you are better off using Chatgpt for your issues. They load their Capstone projects with concepts that were never covered and have unreasonable expectations on course due dates. It is a Scam. For the same money you can go elsewhere , where at least you have some sophisticated course materials that were created for the course rather than browsing through free you tube video compilations.
