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.

    Reviewing Springboards Data Science Boot Camp

    Overall, this course is fantastic if you find yourself looking to switch careers like I did. Beforehand, I had some experience with SQL but none with python, machine learning, or really any data science. At the end of the day, I feel comfortable apply, interviewing, and actually doing the work for any intro/ mid-tier data science job.

    It's a lot to take in, in a short amount of time, but it's all worth it in the end!

    This program is pretty intense and you have to keep yourself on a pretty good routine to stay up with the lectures and projects. The student community, advising, mentorship and career coaching were great. Being new to all this, it was nice knowing there was always somewhere to turn when I had questions about any aspect of the program. If you are serious about learning a new skill or making a career change, this is a great way to get there!

    Challenging but positive experience

    Springboard's Data Analytics Bootcamp has exceeded my expectations, offering a comprehensive curriculum covering essential data analysis skills, invaluable one-to-one mentorship, and career support, making it a worthwhile investment despite its relatively high cost. Although it is self-paced, it offers flexibility in time management, and the job guarantee program is reassuring, though the limited networking opportunities are a minor drawback. Overall, I highly recommend this bootcamp to ...

    Comprehensive and Educational

    Springboard was a good self-paced online option for beginners.  I went in with zero knowledge about coding or software engineering and I feel as though I am leaving with a really good overall knowledge of full stack development.  

    I felt as though the materials were good and easy to follow and understand, but there was only one instructor for every single lesson and section and it did become quite monotonous.   There is support offered from the TA staff which is helpful and also t...

    Wonderful online learning with mentors

    Springboard was a fantastic way to learn UX/UI design at my own pace. You have the opportunity to connect with career coaches and mentors as much as you need to. You also complete 4 big projects that are used as your portfolio when you are finished with the program.

    An excellent program for self-driven learners

    Springboard is an excellently curated program for people who are motivated enough to learn independently. It's true that a lot of the material can be found for free online, but there's so much information online that it would be hard to curate only high quality materials as they have. There was one part of the course that was a learn along video mini course, and there were a few challenges like this as well. I wish they would incorporate more of those, as most of the material is article ...

    Life changing experience

    Springboard UI/UX design track was a very fulfilling and mind-blowing experience. I started this course to have a career change, and It provided me with so much in-depth information to be successful in this career. I started without experience creating a beautiful portfolio with four different case studies. I finished this course in a year more than it says in the course. The course provides multiple pauses and breaks if you feel overwhelmed and have family emergencies. I took breaks and...

    Career Coaches stood out the most to me!

    Definitely had a positive experience with Springboard. 
    My mentor, career coaches, and student support team are extremely professional and supportive. Students are all talented and I worked with some real talents on the internship project. My only wish is for the curriculum to be more specific and up to date as technology is growing too fast.

    Good introduction to the industry but..

    The best part of this program for me was the mentorship. The curriculum is definitely something you could learn on your own just by seeking the information online. Being able to get feedback from my mentor was incredibly helpful and he asked questions that allowed me to start thinking like a designer. I wish they had more industry design projects since the one thing that I was told in interviews was that I had a “good design eye” but lacked experience. My career coach was also great in h...
