The projects were also graded with feedback so I knew that they were reviewed by more experienced software engineers.
- Guidance from mentor: My mentor was there with me for the entire journey through the bootcamp. He helped me relate concepts to real-world situations so that I could better grasp how they worked, and he was there to clear up any confusion I had.
- Personalized feedback from career coaches: Having so many professional career coaches review my resume, LinkedIn, and networking strategies gave me confidence that I have all the necessary job search materials to succeed.
Cons
- A little on the expensive side, they do offer flexible payment plans.
- Took 9 months and 800+ intense hours, so it is a commitment. Looking big picture, this is a really short time to learn web development and full stack technologies in depth.- Eric McDonaldGraduate • Data Science Career Track • OnlineJul 01, 2025Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Supportive and engaging

And then my father died.
I suddenly found my entire world turned upside down with less time and more responsibilities shortly after starting the SpringBoard boot camp. I just couldn't do it all. I was feeling overwhelmed, crushed, and despairing.
I reached out to their support team to complain about something I just couldn't get to work and received a phone call soon after (it was within 24 hours, if not the same day). The representative could not have been more supportive. They granted me an extra month of time, found me a mentor that would better suit my needs and schedule, and were overall very considerate and positive despite what I had been through.
The pressure was off and I could breathe again.
I had to work hard in order to get through everything on time, but I did it.
The two best things that will always stand out to me are the practical work with a professional mentor and their extraordinary support team. I could probably have gone online elsewhere and found what I needed for a lot less, but the practical experience and having someone to talk to (my mentor, not just the support team) made all the difference in the world!
No, the whole program was not perfect; there were dead reference links, and it was hard to find how to get help sometimes, but it was definitely a great experience over all. - Eboni StreeterGraduate • UI / UX Design Career Track • OnlineJun 23, 2025Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Fantastic curriculum and mentorship
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. - Andy DuongGraduate • Software Engineering Career Track • OnlineMay 27, 2025Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Business practices are shady, Course was decent
I completed the Springboard UX/UI Career Track program April of 2024. I recently completed the job guarantee period without landing a job and applied for the refund. Springboard approved my request but said they are paying it back over 12 months rather than refunding the entire amount. They did not specify that I would not be receiving a full refund anywhere in the agreement. This is really not cool, probably not legal, and definitely not ethical. Shame on you, Springboard. - Sahir KhanGraduate • UI / UX Design Career Track • OnlineApr 15, 2025Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Works if you are committed
I took the UX/UI Design course with Springboard and overall had a positive experience. One of the biggest highlights for me was having a dedicated mentor who was always available and incredibly helpful throughout the program. The course material itself was pretty straightforward and easy to follow, which made navigating the different phases of the curriculum manageable. As someone who was new to design tools like Figma, I definitely found the learning curve a bit steep at the beginning. ...I took the UX/UI Design course with Springboard and overall had a positive experience.

The course material itself was pretty straightforward and easy to follow, which made navigating the different phases of the curriculum manageable. As someone who was new to design tools like Figma, I definitely found the learning curve a bit steep at the beginning. Thankfully, external resources like YouTube tutorials really helped me bridge the gap and build my confidence. If I could change one thing, I’d love to see more detailed and consistent feedback on projects. While the mentor feedback was valuable, I think more thorough critiques from other reviewers would have helped me grow even faster.All in all, I’d recommend Springboard to anyone looking to break into UX/UI design - especially if you value having mentor support and a flexible, self-paced learning structure. - Maseeh SarwaryData Analyst • Graduate • Data Analytics Career Track • OnlineApr 14, 2025Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Fine bootcamp, didn't get a job, bad refund

I enrolled in Springboard's software engineering bootcamp in 2023 and completed in 2024. They sell you on a "job guarantee" in which you will get your money back if you don't find a job in 6 months. The curriculum itself consists of basic and often outdated YouTube videos.
Their “mentorship” was definitely lackluster. It’s what you make of it, but your mentor is not going to get you a job at their company and is probably just trying to make some cash on the side and would probably rather be somewhere else.
To be eligible for their job guarantee (and the refund if you don't find a job), I had to apply to a certain number of jobs per week and make a certain number of connections. Per the contract, they extended the 6 month job search period to one year, which I was fine with.
After one year of applying, I did not get any jobs and had less than a handful of interviews. Springboard slow-walked approving my refund for several weeks, encouraging me several times to extend the job search period (why would I do that?), and then the kicker: approved the refund but said it would be paid out in 12 monthly installments over the next year. Yup—after applying to jobs for a year, they told me I’d have to wait another one before I could receive the refund. Some job guarantee! After complaining, they offered me to fill out a financial hardship form that they review “once a month” and can’t promise I’ll receive anything faster.
Overall: there’s much better bang for your buck out there. I don’t know a single person from Springboard who has gotten a job. Try some other bootcamp… or go to nursing school. - Nikolai SobiochGraduate • Software Engineering Career Track • OnlineMar 30, 2025Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I will say that I much enjoyed the backend technologies that this bootcamp taught rather than the frontend technologies. There's a lot of information being taught and it can be a bit overwhelming, especially if you are trying to speed run the assignments. Also, I do recommend knowing a bit about javascript, html, and css. The reason being that this course hits the ground running hard and fast, and it can get easy to be left behind if you plan on completing everything early or on time.
Things I liked about the course were the topics covered, mentors, career coaches, and support staff. Topics covered are relevant to today for the most part. For mentors there are a handful you can choose from and they will help you with any question you have. My mentor was fantastic and went above and beyond what I expected of him. The career coaches are super helpful when it comes to jobs and what people look for. The support staff is also great and will answer any questions or concerns you have fairly quickly.
Things I disliked about the course were the outdated code, dependencies, and price. Sometimes the starter code and dependencies were outdated but for the most part it was fine. As for the price it is on the higher side compared to other bootcamps.
Overall, I would absolutely take this course again! Even if it is a little pricey, I think it's absolutely worth it given everything the course offers.
