Springboard's cyber track is a self-paced, mentor-supported course aimed at Security+ with a conditional job guarantee. It suits people who need to keep a job while studying and want a weekly mentor call. Before paying, read the job guarantee conditions line by line and ask for cyber-specific placement numbers, since the published 94% covers every Springboard course.

What a careful reader should know
The 94% figure is a company-wide aggregate across all tracks and years, not a cyber cohort number, and 'eligible' is defined by the guarantee's conditions. Springboard's site blocks automated access, which is why every number here is marked unverified; confirm tuition and the guarantee PDF directly before paying.
