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.

    Affordable tuition and self-learning

    I was attracted to Springboard for the tuition since it was much cheaper compared to other bootcamps while not breaking your wallet. I saved up for the tuition and paid in full. The curriculum is very dense and teaches Python and JS so students get a sense of different languages and the more popular frameworks so I really liked that! I also appreciate the mock coding, interview, and project interviews you need to pass in order to complete the program. It really reflected and prepped me f...

    UI/UX Design Course

    A comprehensive course, but it will likely take longer than the promoted time. IDP experience was a bit challenging but reflected the real work project limitations and hurdles.

    Springboard Success

    First of all, I’d like to start this review by saying I was able to land a job in my field of choice before I completed the program.
    *I did not have any experience with career services outside of the career sections in the curriculum* 

    The Pros:When I enrolled at Springboard I didn’t have any prior experience with UX/UI design. Springboard has certainly built a great curriculum that gave me very solid foundational skills and a fundamental unde...

    Superb Curriculum, Indispensable Mentor Experience

    The curriculum covered the full stack of web development with all the most marketable skills and technologies. Not to mention Data Structures and Algorithms, Resume writing, command line and more. The weekly mentor calls are the strongest part of the course and gave me more support and accountability than public high school or university ever did. If you decide to go with Springboard make sure to stay on top of your work as it is self paced and you can fall behind. If you're a naturally ...

    Great program to prepare you for a new career!

    I am very satisfied with my experience with Springboard's Data Analytics Career Track.   The curriculum was very well organized with a great combination of instructional videos and articles as well as hands on projects and case studies.  I also found it helpful to be paired with a mentor (industry expert).  My mentor was great, and provided me with helpful feedback and support, and kept me accountable to my goals. It was also great to have two capstone projects as part of the curriculum ...

    I started my UX Career Track course with springboard in Jan 2021, I chose springboard because it has a project based curriculum which makes learning more easy because you can apply what you learnt in your capstone project and you get real time experience to work on a UX project. I had a great mentor who helped me in every step of my project. At the end of the course you have 3 projects to showcase in your portfolio. Which really helped me getting a job.
