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.

    I highly recommend!

    When I started the program, I was concerned it wouldn't be immersive enough to prepare for an actual career in the field. However, after receiving my certification, I am confident I am ready for my first UX job! The coursework is challenging but doable since your mentor is with you every step of the way. The large projects are broken up nicely into smaller sections, making it seem less daunting. Overall, I had a great experience with my weekly mentor meetings, the curriculum, the project...

    Great Experience, Would Recommend

    I completed the UX/UI Design Career track and overall I had a great experience. It gave me the tools and foundation to transition into UX/UI design. The pros: one on one mentorship via weekly calls, student community to bounce ideas off of and seek additional help, peer support, 
     and access to virtual workshops. There is also the IDP which gives you the opportunity to work on a real life scenario for a company and allows you to gain real life experience. There is also a career curric...

    Excellent bootcamp for beginer

    This is the first time I took an online course. I did not have any background in programming with zero knowledge of SQL and Python. I was expecting a lot of difficulties; however, it is easy to follow and understand. The structure of the program is impressive and provides plenty of resources and frames their learning curriculum in a way where the knowledge stacks and is applicable for the next phase. The course is designed for self-paced learning, and it offers an easy-to-understand teac...

    Wow what a course.  I've never taken an online course before but the curriculum is set up in a modern way to where you consume the information via blogs and videos.  Most of the content was made by regular people so it's easy to follow and understand.  The course is also intertwined with network training in between the curriculum to keep things new and interesting.  Pairing with a mentor and meeting up every week was what sold me.  Asking unlimited questions and going through my work by ...

    Springboard

    Throughout my time at Springboard, I was able to learn in detail about UX/UI design by creating my own capstone project from beginning to end, having the opportunity to participate in an Industry Design Project, and completing a design sprint. The reason I enrolled for Springboard was to learn more about the user experience end of UX/UI design, where you research the users before handling the user interface. And Springboard was able to do just that. Before prototyping, I've picked up on ...

    I made a career transition from accounting to product design. Initially, I was unsure about my decision, but the one-month trial program provided me with the opportunity to dip my toes in the water and experience the mentorship facilities. After that trial period, I felt confident enough to enroll in the UI/UX career track course. The program was fast-paced, but having access to on-demand mentors available 24/7 was a significant advantage for me. Throughout my journey, I received wonderf...
