Springboard is an online learning platform that prepares students for the tech industry’s most in-demand careers with comprehensive, mentor-led online programs in software engineering, data science, UI/UX design, cybersecurity, tech sales, and more. All Springboard courses are 100% online, remote, and self-paced throughout an average of 6-9 months. Springboard acts as a support system, coach, and cheerleader for working professionals who are ready to level-up or make a major career shift. Students have access to a unique community of industry mentors, thought leaders, and alumni, who are on hand to offer insights, networking opportunities, and support throughout the program and well past graduation. Every Springboard student is matched with a personal student advisor and industry mentor who guides them throughout the program through regular video calls.

To apply, applicants fill out an online form, take an aptitude test, then talk with a school representative about their background and motivations. For the data science career track a background in statistics and/or programming is required. For the UX career track, students should have academic or professional background in user design or development-oriented fields.

Before graduation, Springboard’s career services team supports students in their job search, helping prepare them for interviews and networking, and facilitates their transition into the tech industry. Springboard's programs are backed with a job guarantee.

Springboard’s support does not end when students graduate. All graduates benefit from an extensive support network encompassing career services, 1:1 career coaching, networking tips, resume assistance, interview prep, and salary negotiation. Since Springboard was founded in 2013, 94% of eligible graduates secured a job within one year, earning an average salary increase of $26,000.

    Data Analytics Career Track

    I had previously done an online Introduction to Data Science Course through springboard and my experience with them led me to continue with more insights and direction to pursue a career in Data Analytics. The course was well structured with a balance of all aspects required from a Data Analytics perspective. It had great course materials links articles and advise from Industry experts.  The curriculum has been curated from different resources by their Subject matter experts and PhD leve...

    UX/UI Design Track: Gave me the confidence I needed

    The best part about Springboard's UX/UI Design track was the Industry Design Project. Working with other people on a real-world project gave me more confidence than any other self-taught course work could. 1 on 1 weekly mentorship along with a career coach I could have asked for at any given time was incredibly helpful.

    Data Analytics Course

    I would highly recommend Springboard for its course content, mentor support, mentor availability, and positive community support and vibes. For context, I completed the course while working full time and traveling for work, and while it was difficult to complete in the original goal of 6 months, with some course breaks and focused sessions with my mentor I was able to complete a large chunk quickly focusing on not being a perfectionist. I would also say SB is very open to anything you ne...

    UX Design Career Track

    I chose Springboard because I liked the flexibility of remote learning but I knew I needed a mentor.  In 2020, Springboard was about half the cost of the other big-name bootcamps that met in person.  They offered a job-guarantee but you have to pass the mock interviews at the end and meet the job pursuing requirements after you are done with the curriculum.  

    The curriculum was outstanding.  During one interview, as I talked with the employer about the design process that I took f...

    Expensive but in depth

    Springboard is one of the more expensive courses. However, as someone who is new to coding this is a great option for individuals looking for in depth knowledge of using Python to solve data science problems. Geared more towards data science for business problems. As someone in the research field, I was still able to apply these skills to less business oriented tasks. A little light on the statistics. The one-on-one weekly mentor meetings and monthly career coach calls are a great advant...

    Data Science Career Track

    I only have good things to say about Springboard, I found the coursework to be very interesting, my mentor gave me consistently high quality advice and the career coaches provided valuable feedback during my job search and the interview process. I would not hesitate recommending friends of mine who are trying to pick up new technical skills and/or switch careers to apply to Springboard!

    Less than a year from no experience to new career, Springboard changed my life!

    I went through the Software Engineering course in about 6 months studying full time with no previous experience in coding or IT. There was a prep course through Springboard that I used to skill-up before starting the full course as well, that cost was rolled into the full course cost after I continued. Full stack with Python and JavaScript with several assessments, code reviews, and plenty of projects to build you up for the two capstone projects that you will choose to build your portfo...

    Software Engineering Track

    Starting the Springboard Software Engineering Career Track was one of the best decisions I have made for my career. I started programming on my own a year before starting and had hit a wall with how to progress. The course is structured in a great way to teach you a lot of the current industry tech and techniques. This course helped me solidify the knowledge I had gained on my own and made me extremely confident in my coding abilities. Hands down one of the best features of Springboard i...

    Great Experience

    I just "graduated" from Springboard a week ago and am starting the job search so can't speak much about the outcomes yet, but overall I'm very happy with my experience. I had a hard time choosing which bootcamp to attend, but ended up going with Springboard as it offered unlimited mentor calls, job search support, and a one-month internship (IDP project). The curriculum was solid and well-thought out, and I came out of it feeling like I worked hard and learned a lot. I particularly enjoy...

    UX Research Career Track

    I really enjoyed the UX research Career course. I had spent a solid year studying on my own and even finding free courses online. I watched courses in LinkedIn, Skillshare, and of course youtube but I decided to make the leap and start the UX Design research course and got so much information from it. There was 25 segments, each divided into multiple units so you get the information fed to you at a manageable rate with plenty of examples, articles, videos and projects. To be honest, in t...

    Springboard Will Treat You as a Holistic Human

    I am so thrilled by my choice with this program. I have been to a lot of schools - I have a bachelor's degree and a master's degree. I used to be a secondary science teacher (middle school), so I feel I know a bit about education and educational institutions. When I first applied and enrolled in the program, I knew Springboard was the best fit for me (the price point, the time to complete the program, and the industrial design project were my selling points). I was skeptical, however, si...
