This program allowed me to make a drastic career change. I worked in Child Care & Education previously and now I work as a System Administrator. Overall the program is very well done and thorough. It prepared me well for my new career!

The mentorship and modules are great. I found that to be the best part of the program. The lack of assistance in staying on track and the reliance on outside content are the reason behind my rating.

I loved the prep course a bit more than the main course. I had an outstanding mentor for the prep course who really pushed me and answered all the questions I posed. I had to switch mentors very early on in the main course. The second mentor I had was good but the meeting were always short. About 10-15 minutes most time. I felt the work was just “pushed through” with minimal feedback. I honestly wasn’t sure if I was doing industry level work. I wish I had the mentor from the prep course in the main one. However, The advisors were awesome for both courses. The career coach I went to regularly was amazing. I’d say I had a good experience for the most part.

I had the best training at springboard and I will recommend this bootcamp to anyone looking to start in cybersecurity they have great mentors and coaches.

Springboard equips you with relevant industry practices and encourages real critical thinking in their program. They had great mentors. I especially benefitted from the hiring manager reviews and mock interview coach calls. After graduating, I feel confident with my portfolio and applying to positions.

This is the second bootcamp that I've done through Springboard and I do not regret one cent nor one second I have spent. I have learned new skills that I didn't even know I could learn. I feel like the future is up for grabs and I love feeling that way. Thank you for being so freaking awesome!

Extremely responsive and helpful, clear and proactive about making sure that I am doing well in the curriculum and giving me tips and tricks to improve along the way.

I completed SpringBoard's Cyber Security Track and genuinely enjoyed it ! The curriculum is diverse and contains videos, labs and projects that expose students to the many different facets of Cyber Security. I came into the program with no prior experience in this field so that is the perspective you will get from my review. Students are paired 1:1 with a mentor and that was extremely helpful to me. Career coaches and support staff are all pleasant and are a pleasure to work with. Course is fully online allowing for flexibility if you have other life obligations. I did not sign up for the job guarantee option so I cant comment on that , but what I can tell you is that this program will give you everything you need to start your career in cyber security and gives you excellent job & career related resources including continued access to career coaches for 6 months post graduation. I just recently completed the program and have begun my job search. Keep in mind that the employment prospects for students will vary depending on many other factors such as background, the state of the economy/job market and level of experience. Before signing up for any bootcamp, I always encourage people to conduct thorough research into the field you are interested in because tech bootcamps can be challenging and it can be hard to keep your motivation up when you are doing something you aren't interested in. As i've said before bootcamps can be challenging and the search for employment after can be just as challenging, so set realistic expectations when coming in. However, if you are a hard worker, go getter and can navigate your way when outside of your comfort zone you will succeed in tech bootcamps and the industry as well.
