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.

    Flexible hours & cost, thorough curriculum, job guarantee

    I have learned so much during my Springboard experience. The application process was quick and easy and the more I learned about the program, the more confident I felt about enrolling. The curriculum is thorough with clear guidelines and expectations outlined for students. 
    There's endless streams of support- career coaches, personal mentors (one-on-one, once per week), unlimited mentors, students on the Slack community or in virtual study groups, and student advisors. This program is...

    UI/UX Design Career Track Program

    I can't express enough how much I enjoyed learning with Springboard's UI/UX Design Career Track program! Before I started the program last year, I had taken a lot of time doing research on different bootcamps and reviewing the course outline, prices, time frames, etc. Springboard ended up offering the most benefits. I loved how the program was set up, straightforward with the career units mixed in, and meeting with an industry expert every week really helped with improving my skills. Hav...

    UX UI Design Career Track Bootcamp

    The Springboard ux/ui design career track program was an excellent way to expand my knowledge. Able to move at my own speed I was given ample resources to turn to if I was ever confused. Between your mentor, advisors, career services and other Springboard students, there's always someone to turn to to learn more. Through Springboard I was able to continue my education from my own house during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Great Program! Be Prepared To Work!

    Wow, what a great program. Of course, like any bootcamp, you have to be prepared to put the work in. The material is great and well-paced, especially since it's a self-paced course. Outside of the curriculum, SB does a great job of preparing you for the job search. They start early with tips and strategies and arm you with as much knowledge as possible regarding the process. Lastly, the staff is simply amazing. My mentor was great and incredibly knowledgeable.

    Great learning experience

    I joined SpringBoard with little coding experience. At SpringBoard, I not only learned a lot of coding knowledge, but also got enough support from SpringBoard. It provides student advisor who help you overcome any difficulties while learning, also a great mentor who meet with you every week to help solving problems or answering questions. They also have career coaching to help you with job hunting. Overall, it's a great experience of learning at Springboard and landing a great job offer....

    UX UI Design

    I initially chose springboard over other online UX UI courses solely for the mentorship and career coaching services. I can confirm that it was the right decision. The course has excellent material that helps you understand the UX/UI process and develop your projects and case studies. Furthermore, having a mentor that supports you and provides you with feedback each week is extremely beneficial. Now that I have completed the course, I have full support from my career coach that guides me...

    Data Analytics Career Track

    Great for those looking for full online virtual experience with the added benefit of a mentor to meet with weekly and to hold you accountable for your progress and work each week. The curriculum covers the basics and provides a deep dive into key tools that are used in the industry. I had previous experience in tableau and excel, however SQL and Python were brand new to me. Focusing on those sections with my mentor helped me learn it much faster than I would have on my own. After complet...

    Great program for self starters

    The curriculum is designed well to prepare you for the job market, it equips you with a solid toolkit. The mentors are the most valuable assets of the program for sure. They are industry leaders and are very knowledgeable and supportive. You will need to stay self-motivated though, because this isn't real school.

    I had a great experience with Springboard. The material that they provide gives you a very good overview of what you need to know to complete the projects. You also get paired with a mentor to meet with regularly and you have plenty of support beyond that with unlimited mentor calls, the community itself, slack and your cohort. The best part is that you have access to all of your curriculum even after you complete the course and I know that I will always refer back to my notes and course...
