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.

    Springboard UI/UX Bootcamp Review: Insights and Challenges

    My experience at Springboard's UI/UX bootcamp was a whirlwind adventure that spanned a year. The curriculum packed in a ton of useful information, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to access it even after completing the program. However, navigating through mentorship was a bit of a challenge. I initially struggled with a mentor who wasn't the best fit but was able to switch to a much more supportive one after speaking up to my career advisor. One downside was the absence of AI for UX,...

    Great Experience in Springboard Cybersecurity!

    Transitioning out of the medical field was daunting, but Springboard's cybersecurity track was an incredible experience that I would absolutely recommend to others. Also, they have a job guarantee once the program is finished so I'm very much looking forward to continuing to work with my career coach!

    Great learning experience and a wonderful journey with Springboard's Software Engineer Career Track

    I am a Java Developer who has taken a 5-year break in my career for personal reasons. To upskill my software knowledge, I decided to pursue a BootCamp and my friend recommended SpringBoard. The SpringBoard curriculum helped me to learn new technologies, and the projects provided valuable coding knowledge. My mentor was incredibly supportive and provided excellent guidance.

    Great UX/UI Program!

    I chose to go with Springboard after some research and all of the good reviews.  I am very happy that I chose Springboard.  UX Design is a hard field right now to get into and I didn't know that at the time that I signed up.  However, I feel that Springboard has given and will continue to give me all the help they can for me to get a job.  I just got my certificate and am starting the job search but I have been impressed with the amount of resources and hints that have been given to me a...

    I have learned new skills and new approaches for job searching.

    I needed to freshen up my coding skills and I was thing about applying to a bootcamp.
    Of course, I was skeptical. What if  I don’t like curriculum,  I don’t like my Mentor, I don’t like the Coach advisor? 
    I asked so many questions to the Sales Manager at Springboard and I was content with the responses. 
    Springboard curriculum helped me, also, I never missed a meeting with my Mentor, Muhammad. He gave me tips and push me to do better projects.

    Would not recommend the experience

    I took the course and spent countless hours after trying to get a job and it did not help. I followed every detail and every recommendation they gave, and it was mostly a waste of my time. The mentors and career service staff will show up to your meeting 5-15 minutes later IF they show up, and will rush you providing no details. After my job search period, I reached back for the job guarantee, and when I provided all the info they asked for, they stopped responding to my emails for over ...
