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.

    Great school with an excellent mentorship program

    I just finished the Springboard UX Career Track and have begun my Job Search as of today.

    I first heard about Springboard when I was looking at changing my career path, and my friend suggested I look into UX and the course Springboard offered (they had never gone to Springboard, only heard of it). From my research, UX ended up being a field that intrigued and excited me but finding an online course that would work for me was the hinge-point - specifically because I've had poor exp...

    Strong Career Coaching

    There is a lot of material online that teaches data science concepts such as machine learning and deep learning. Anyone capable of completing an online boot camp could probably successfully learn on their own. Springboard gives benefits beyond the actual curriculum. There are no concerns about the curriculum - they curate online sources so that you don't have to worry about assessing quality. While there were occasionally problems with dead links, these always seemed to be fixed relative...

    Data Analytics Career Track

    Springboard's data analytics bootcamp came along at a perfect time for me. I had just finished my MBA but then the pandemic hit and I found that I was missing the data skillsets that are de rigeur in the Bay Area. I highly recommend this bootcamp for upskilling and broadening and deepening your data and business understanding. Also know that a bootcamp isn't a one-and-done. A bootcamp serves to build your foundation of skills on which you continue to build your practice. Outside of a tra...

    Data Science Career Track Review

    Prior joining Springboard, I had some technical background and experience with Data Science but struggled to actually get a job. After going through the process judiciously and with great dedication, I can confidently say  Springboard has helped me build a robust and very competitive portfolio. 

    The curriculum typically covers everything needed to succeed. My favorite part of Springboard is the one-on-one mentorship where you could brainstorm, learn and typically create a connecti...

    UI/UX Designer

    Overall, I have enjoyed my time at Springboard. It was a different experience for me to attend online courses, rather than in person, but a good and necessary one especially for these times of the pandemic. I like the self-paced learning that it has because there are times that life get's busy. This really helped me to just dial in what I was learning. If I wanted to spend more time in one subunit, I could and if I wanted to breeze through it, I could as well. The only con to this is tha...

    DAC: Excellent Experience!

    I took the on-line course of Springboard Data Analytics.  The curriculum covers a broad range of the industry's best practices.  The student is allowed to explore new methods of structuring the scientific inquiry, mapping the field of investigation, providing solutions, discussing their validity and limitations, and sharing their presentations in elegant and effective ways with diverse audiences.   

    I had to be disciplined to keep the pace, studying in the evening and ...
