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 Is Awesome-sauce

    The course is effective enough, though some of the material is a touch outdated. It wasn't enough to affect me in a way that made me feel left in the dust, and their was enough practice and supplemental training to make it mostly a non-issue. The real shining pinnacle of this school is the support, which addressed every issue I brought up quickly and sincerely. My student advisor was attentive, my mentor was effective (practical, creative, and knowledgeable), and the support team was - s...

    Best Bootcamp Ever

    I had the opportunity to work with the Springboard stuff and community within their UX program. It was a fantastic program that really allowed me to gain industry knowledge and industry based skillsets and tools that I wouldn't have gotten from a master's program. I really loved the mentor calls, the curriculum, and how streamlined the program was to be. 

    When I decided to choose between bootcamps, I was deciding between Springboard and CareerFoundry. At the end, I went for Spring...

    UI/UX Design Career Track

    The most valuable part of Springboard is the weekly mentoring sessions. I learned the most from my mentor and got individualized feedback. Springboard will also accommodate your mentor requests. I was originally assigned a mentor from Portugal, but I wanted a mentor who was local (Bay Area) and Springboard re-matched me accordingly. The career counselors and other mentors have all given insightful feedback. I always came away from mentoring sessions with actionable steps for improvement....

    Glad to choose Springboard for a career change!

    I would definitely recommend Springboard for anyone wanting to learn about UX and UI. I didn’t know anything about design and come from a finance background. This course really made me feel that I’m ready to make a career change Into UX. Very well organised and the staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Feel great after finishing it. Thanks!

    Software Engineering Program

    This was a great program for me to move from near "0" to 100. It is a general soft dev bootcamp but mainly focuses on web development. So if you know you're interested in that (or not sure and just want a general software engineering bootcamp) this is a good one for you! They cover JavaScript, Node, React, Redux(optional), Python Flask, SQL, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, and more. It's self paced though you meet with a mentor each week which helps keep you on a schedule. If you're looking for ...

    Software Engineering Career Track

    I joined the Software Carrer track. The topics covered and the technologies learned are all real-world relevant. The lectures are easy to understand. And the projects are a lot of fun with lots of practice. And the great thing is weekly Mentor and On-demand Mentor support. If you get stuck on some problems you will get the best response and support from the Mentor as well as from the TA's. The career coach support is great.

    UX/UI Design Career Path

    An in depth 9 month UI/UX boot camp covering 3 projects and an IDP to give real world experience to students. I found the mentor program to be extremely helpful in guiding my learning experience as well as gaining insight into how the industry works. Would definitely recommend Springboard to a friend looking to get into the UI/UX field.

    Data Analytics Career Track

    Springboard provides a thorough curriculum for data analysis and covers a lot of the fundamentals of project design and framework, statistics, economics and presentation types. The case studies help put everything into context but it is on you to really utilize your mentor when you have questions or want to approach the problem in a different method. I'm a PhD economist with a lot of experience across roles/industries. I knew that I needed Python skills and a higher level of SQL knowledg...

The curriculum was designed in a way to actively teach relevant technical skills and reinforce knowledge through projects. My mentor was amazing and helped me dive deeper into my learning by providing me industry level perspective and knowledge. My career coach helped me gain confidence and navigate the job market.
