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.

    I'm a software engineer now because of Springboard!!!

    Despite the poor time estimation for this course given by Springboard (it takes much longer than anticipated), Springboard made me a software engineer through all the valuable skills I learned at a much lower price than other bootcamps. Springboard's job gaurantee is a must have!!! Please join Springboard, and let it change your life forever!!!!

    Great experience!

    I chose Springboard over other ones because of the mentorship aspect.

    Pros -
    - an easy interface
    - they help arrange study groups
    - the projects are challenging but manageable
    - there is a slack channel to ask questions and share feedback
    - weekly meeting with a mentor

    Cons
    - they are growing so there were so minor hiccups in the assignments but they respond quickly to problems

    I just graduated so I don't have a job yet, but the career support has b...

    Springboard was pretty amazing for me. Here's my honest review:

    I did a lot of research prior to enrolling. I highly encourage you do the same. There are lots of bootcamps out there, some are much better than others. I can only vouch for Springboard. I was skeptical I won't lie... a shortcut to a career feels like it's too good to be true. It feels like you're cheating or something and people who went to school for this career must have a huge leg up.

    I'm sorry, but I disag...

    Data Analytics Career Track Review

    I took Springboard's Data Analytics career track from Dec. 2020 to July 2021. I found the career track to be well structured, with a great overview of the data analytics process from top to bottom. You learn how to apply problem solving frameworks with technical skills, and then tell a story with your data. I took the career track as part of ongoing education at my current job, so I did not utilize the job support function of the program. That being said, the course absolutely helped me ...

    Springboard goes above and beyond!

    When I started my Springboard class in December 2019, I could rightly have never expected the following year to be what it was, no one could. I began the course because at the time I had more free time and time spent working and chose to use that free time to advance my UX skills so I'd be able to land a job in the field I actually wanted to be in. Then Covid hit and suddenly my work took off, my UX Springboard course quickly fell by the wayside given how busy I was with work. Despite ne...

    Beneficial Learning Experience

    I had a wonderful experience studying data science through Springboard. Springboard gave me the direction and motivation I needed to begin learning data science within a short time period and at a lower cost compared to obtaining a masters degree. The most useful asset was the weekly calls I had with my mentor and the continued job support post completion. The mock interviews with experts prepared me for real world job interviews and I had a job offer within a month of graduating from Sp...

    Overall this was a great class experience. I really felt supported as a student at Springboard, trusted the staff, and felt that they really are invested in helping get me into the industry. Much of the material is sourced from existing websites, which may be a turn off for some. But I think that is helpful to become familiar with existing websites and tools that can support you in your career journey. The mentorship feature is probably what sets Springboard apart from the remaining boot...
