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 support to help students succeed

    For me, it was a challenging and rewarding experience. I got a job offer right before graduation. The course allows you to move through the material at your own pace and you can take breaks if needed. Springboard provided career coaches, personal mentors (one-on-one, once per week),  and student advisors. Support from the springboard team was exceptional. My mentor was great and incredibly knowledgeable. But be ready to work hard, and be consistent, if you want to get through this course...

    UI/UX Design Career Track

    I chose Springboard for the unlimited mentorship and met so many interesting people a long the way. All the UI/UX mentors and career coaches I spoke to were very good, and my own mentor was very knowledgeable and held me to a high standard. The program itself is comprehensive and gives a good foundation for someone transitioning into the field. It took me a bit longer than the expected 9 months to finish, but there's a lot to learn and I don't think I could have covered everything I lear...

    Springboard made it possible to learn UX while working full-time

    I decided to enroll in Springboard's UX Career Track because I wanted a program that I could balance while working full time. Springboard does an excellent job at giving you all the necessary tools to take on any projects as a UX designer. The weekly mentor calls were very helpful for me to get great feedback on my projects and gain valuable perspective from someone with extensive experience in the profession. Although it was personally challenging to work on the final industry design pr...

    Machine Learning Career Track

    I liked springboard overall. The cirriculum is tailored in a nice way that help me walk through the full cycle of machine learning/deep learning. the best parts are hands-on project. It's a little bit challenge to finish all, but eventually everybody is able to finish it.  It's hard to remember all details after 6 month, but it's easy to go back and review each project.   After this training, I was able to apply it into my personal projects and my work.

    Great experience at Springboard!

    My Springboard experience with the UX/UI career track curriculum was great and I highly recommend it. With any program, it's what you make of it but Springboard has the added benefit of being self-paced which teaches discipline and time management skills that are also needed professionally. I was able to land a position before finishing my curriculum and I'm excited to start my career.

    UX Student

    What drives me to Springboard is their Industry Design Project where you get paired up with an actual company to collaborate with other students as UX designers to help with their needs. Overall, this course gives you a good understanding and practice of UI/UX fundamentals for someone who has zero experience in UX design. I finished the course within 7 months. My advice would be to get done as fast as possible because once you actually work as a designer in the real world, it is very dif...

    Developed strong data skills

    Before the course I was self taught with Python. I did a project where I went scraped data but the project stopped since I didn't know how to analyze data. After taking this course I believe I have progressed greatly with my Python skills to the point where analyzing and modeling data is becoming second nature and a strong point of my skill set. Also, having a mentor was great because I was able to learn from well established data scientists.

    Springboard genuinely cares about your success

    I'm impressed by how committed Springboard is to student success. My student advisor and mentor are supportive and understanding, and they do their best to help me get through the roadblocks. I was at a point where my health condition did not allow me to continue the coursework, but the Springboard support team offered accommodation by giving me the time I needed to complete the remaining works.
