As a former fashion designer pivoting into UI/UX, I needed a program that combined creativity with structure and Springboard delivered. The hands-on curriculum, real-world projects, and 1:1 mentorship helped me build a strong foundation and translate my design skills into a new field. The career support, from portfolio building to mock interviews, was key in preparing me for the job search. It’s self-paced, but if you’re committed, it’s a smart, career-focused path into UI/UX.

Amazing Experience I signed up for Springboard's Data Science program and it was definitely the best career-related decision I've made in many years. I've had an interest in Data Science and AI-related topics for a while, but was never quite sure how I would go about preparing myself for the field. I had taken some smaller individual courses, which helped, but I felt I need more. Springboard emerged as the best all-around solution for me. Their bootcamp is compact and dense (suggested 6-7 months), but trainees have the option to proceed at their own pace. The flexiblity is invaluable, especially for folks who are working full-time and have other obligations. The curriculum was awesome and one of the strongest reasons for me in choosing this program. It covered so much - Data Science Method, Python programming, Data Visualization, Statistics, Machine Learning and AI, Big Data, etc. It also provided a ton of hands-on experience which really helped to build confidence in the material. All along the way, I was helped by the Springboard staff who were simply amazing! From my first call (an assessment of my suitability for the program) to my invaluable weekly mentor calls, career coaching calls, to my course completion emails and discussion, they have always been knowledgable, super positive and done all they can to support my progress. I cannot recommend Springboard enough!

Springboard Did Scam to me - I signed up for Springboard’s Cybersecurity program because they promised job placement within 6 months and seemed really supportive at first. When you’re just starting the course, they respond quickly, say all the right things, and make it sound like you’ll have someone guiding you every step of the way. But that changes pretty fast. Most of the content in the course is just links to videos and articles that you can already find on the internet for free. It’s not like you’re getting exclusive training or hands-on experience. You're mostly reading or watching stuff that’s already out there. When the 6 months passed and I still didn’t have a job, I reached out about the job guarantee refund they promised. That’s when things really went downhill. They took a week just to reply, then told me I didn’t qualify for a refund and instead gave me a 6-month extension. So now it’s almost a full year, and let’s be real, most people can’t wait that long. We have bills, responsibilities, and need to move on with our careers. The program costs around $11,000, which is a huge amount of money for something that doesn’t deliver what it promises. You basically have to do everything on your own job search, applications, interviews and the career support feels like an afterthought. What’s even more frustrating is that they offer gift cards to students who leave reviews. So it’s hard to trust what you read online because a lot of it is just paid praise. I don’t usually write reviews, but I felt like I had to speak up. I wouldn’t recommend this program to anyone. It felt like I got trapped into spending a lot of money for something I could have learned on my own and without the stress.

I am transitioning from software engineering to data science as someone who has a PhD in psychology and quant science. I rather enjoyed Springboard, as the curriculum was sequential and learning was built in a manner that made sense. The course material was great and my mentor was wonderful. There are people that communicate with you throughout, program services, career services, student advising, and they are all very kind and sweet. They were helpful and really moved things along when I could not find my technical coach to do a mock coding session for my job guarantee. I don’t know how the job guarantee will be since I just graduated and have only had 1 meeting with my coach. She seems knowledgable with great energy. Let’s see how this goes. The career coaches that you are required to meet with to go over your LinkedIn and resume are pretty helpful and very sweet as well. You get what you put into this program in terms of learning and as with any program, there’s the administrative stuff you have to complete. It was not a big deal and it was nice to interact with a human being. I went through another bootcamp and that felt soul breaking in comparison. This bootcamp was a breath of fresh air, honestly. Springboard gives you the content and you just need to learn it and follow all the rules they set forth if you want the job guarantee. If you treat them well (email them nicely), they will treat you extremely well. Looking forward to them helping me get a job!

I started off without any knowledge in Data Analytics and extremely basic coding experience. I basically knew to output 'Hello World' and make basic arithmetic calculations. I have evolved a lot and Springboard made it possible. The flow was adaptable, the mentorship program was great and one of the best selling points for Springboard. Highly recommend it to anyone starting out afresh.

It was a phenomenal experience I had a great time and learned so much. I am cybersecurity professional now and under the phenomenal job guarantee. I will be searching for a job in cybersecurity and starting the job search now with a lot of confidence thanks to springboards phenomenal program.

HELP WAS GIVEN IN A TIMELY MANNER AND MY CONCERN WAS ADRESSED TO MY SATISFACTION

All the people I have come in contact with have been awesome and make me excited to start the program.
