This program was a great fit for me. Coming from a career background of education and music, breaking into the developer world was daunting. Through the mentorship, curriculum and job support components of Springboard I was able to learn the skills and experience to forge a path towards a career in web development while maintaining a full time job. Now, this was not easy and presented some challenges when it comes to balancing a demanding full time job with Springboard's innovative and rigorous curriculum. However, my mentor was awesome in helping me through the highs and lows while giving first hand professional expertise. If you are serious about a career change into the coding/ tech world and are looking for a program that will match and support your desire to learn and progress to a career in software engineering then this is the program for you!

Had emergency, tried to get a makeup session for feedback of only project. Advising and mentor ghosted me told me work would get handed back at next session. No responses. Then I finished curriculum which was disorganized and haphazard, I didn't learn much at all. You can find this information other places for free even presented more logically (ironic). I got a refund thankfully.

They're just a bunch of fraudsters… They're just a bunch of fraudsters looking to setup their scam in india & to some extent have been successful in doing that. BUT sooner or later this springboard bubble is going to get burst. The thing is how much of us gets their time & money wasted till the time springboard lasts. Hope it ends sooner & people realize the truth behind their FAKE job guarantee & refund policy. I along with several others have been fighting springboard since last summer & now they don't even bother to reply back & have blocked our mails. You or anyone can't do anything to them after you've paid them because they've power, people & money all along with them.

Job Guarantee, What's That? Springboard is one of the worst schools. It is not a job guarantee, as they claim. You have to find your job and do these contact activities on your own. I have received so many threatening emails: (" Normally, at this point, I would need to remove your Job Guarantee eligibility since you haven't been on consistent coaching calls. At this point, you must understand that if you continue to miss your required Career Coaching call, your program eligibility will be under review"). Is it my fault that you keep changing me, coaches? or is it my fault that you fail to schedule my biweekly meetings? If you were not too busy sending me threatening emails, you would have known that I have not missed any of these coaches' meetings. These career coaches' meetings are so important (like sign up for lunchclub.com/) that they will Jeopardize my job guarantee with a school that leaves thousands of its students jobless and frustrated. Springboard, it is time to upgrade your system. Find a better strategy to help your students. I can not wait to sue You.

I enrolled in this program thinking it would be a great opportunity. I was in the Data Analytics program, and let me tell you, all they do is give you 10 minutes of introductory videos, then they send you off to websites like datacamp, youtube, and other free sites. What a utter waste of money. Then they throw assignments you expecting you to finish them after watching your youtube videos. You get a weekly mentor that you can maybe have enough time to discuss 1 or 2 problems, other than that you're pretty much on your own. On top of that, I actually encountered an EVIL UNPROFESSIONAL worker there. Her name is Maggie Zhang. I was on work leave due to the whole COVID situation and didn't have time to do the curriculum (this was last year around May 2020) and I get an email from Maggie. "Hi DN, I'm following-up with you from my earlier email inquiring about your progress in your Springboard course. I'd love to discuss the course with you, and see if there's any way I can be of help or support. We do have some options that may make sense to discuss going forward. If we don't hear from you within the next 3 business days, we'll go ahead and cancel your course enrollment. Let me know if you have any questions I can help with! -Maggie Zheng" WOW so this is what you get from Springboard. If the email goes to junk mail and you don't respond to her within 3 days you are out of luck and out $10,000 tuition. VERY VERY unprofessional and awful person. Before this e-mail, I literally submitted an assignment 4 days prior. She had the nerve to email me to question my attendance even after I submitted the assignment. This lady is nuts, just threatening students and then sending emails with a passive aggressive "let me know if u have any questions I can help with!" Yeah you can help me if you look in the mirror and see what kind of awful demon you are. Usually I only encounter this type of disrespect when I suspect racism is at play. Who knows? The company of course sides with her, perhaps showing their support for possible RACISM! After being treated like sanitary wipes, I decide not to continue with them anymore. Now I'm stuck with a $4,000 bill thanks to springboard. At least I'm in a real school now and they are actually teaching me stuff instead of redirecting me to datacamp. The least I can do is protect and inform those who come after me to prevent these con-artists from stealing more money from people who can easily learn more from youtube videos. You can definitely learn everything you need if you have the right template. Goto a different coding school. DO NOT GO TO SPRINGBOARD, full of evil people like Maggie Zheng. EDIT: Springboard and their advisors were nice at least. Anyways if you wipe out my 4k ill take down this review. LMK!

I'm someone interested in learning. Is it possible in springboard to get the tutorials

Instruction is solid. Nice having flexible work time. Need more time to work with mentors on projects. You're mostly on your own there.

Springboard's curriculum is detailed. It has 3 projects which help you hands on with what you learned. Mentors are helpful, experienced and knowledgeable.
