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.

    Data Science Career Track

    It was a well organized program that gave me the necessary skills to work in the field of Data Science. Everything from the mentor help to the videos and resources were mostly easy to understand and easy to put to use in practice. One thing that could've been better was putting emphasis on material that was more important in the field of data science that prospective companies are looking for those with that specific skillset. Overall I couldn't be happier and Springboard has been able t...

    UX Design Career Track

    I took the UX Design Career Track starting last August. I finished the course recently and came away extremely satisfied with my experience. My mentor was helpful, communicative, and provided great insight into the UX industry along the way. Overall, the course curriculum is challenging (in a good way) but really helps you understand every concept in detail. Springboard gives you provides an amazing support system with unlimited mentor calls, office hours, and a strong community of frien...

    Digital Marketing Career Track

    The greatest benefit of Springboard's Digital Marketing course is its flexibility, the mentorship and real world experience you can gain as part of the curriculum.
    Every unit has assignments in which you can apply your learnings and then they reviewed by your individual mentor. My favourite part were definitely the weekly mentor calls that help you to stay on track with the course material and to get some real insights from an industry expert.

    Fantastic mentorship and support with engaging capstone project and mini-projects.

    Overall great experience and learned a lot. The pros far outweigh the cons, but I want a balanced review so I pushed to write up both.

    Pros:
    Support. Best support of any program I've enrolled in. Hands down.

    Mentorship. So helpful when you're stuck on something that's not easy to just Google. Also great to just get general direction, career advice, etc. You don't know what you don't know, but they do! Use them!

    Great Program, Great Mentor

    I really enjoyed the program, and the mentor helped a lot during the whole time! I had an educational background in data science but I never had practical/industrial experiences before. Springboard's boot camp prepared me to be job-ready. Highly recommended for anyone who needs to gain experience as a real data scientist.

    Overall I've been very happy with the Springboard UX Design Career intensive! For the price it is a very thoughtfully structured and paced program to get theoretical and practical experience in this space, along with a lot of good person-to-person interaction.

    Pros:
    Works around your schedule - I was able to balance part time work + home life with this program

    At the point I decided to continue my career in the domain of Artificial Intelligence and Big data, I wasn't exactly sure what program would be suitable for me to kick start this transition. After some research I came across springboard and upon examination of the curriculum I knew it was the one.

    Springboard builds me up so quickly and confidently!

    The UI/UX Career Track at Springboard is a 9 months part time course but allows you to do it at your own pace, and I've done it full-time in 3 months! The curriculum is abundant and in-depth. It builds you up step by step from a complete beginner (I'm from a HR background) to a junior designer with solid design knowledge and skills. The mentorship is definitely the most valuable part of the career track, as feedback and advice from an industry expert is 10 times more useful than working ...

    Springboard UX Career Track

    The UX Design Career Track at Springboard is a great stepping stone for a career in user experience. 

    One of the biggest benefits of the Springboard curriculum is having a mentor to help and guide you through the entire course and provide valuable feedback on along the way. The course load can a be a bit overwhelming at times if also working full-time while trying to complete it in the 6-month timeline given.

    UX Design Career Track

    I did my UX Design Career track at Springboard. My background is in Motion Design so I did not have much background in UX design. The curriculum was to the point and covered all the important information needed to start me on my career path. The mentoring program was very useful and my mentor went above and beyond to answer all my questions and concerns about all topics. The career help with resume, LinkedIn, interviewing skills and portfolio design were also very helpful.

    Data Science Career Track

    Joining Springboard was the best decision I ever made. It has a well structured curriculum and you are guided by the mentors and the career coaches in every step of the way. You need to be at a certain threshold with coding, statistics and Data science to get the most of this boot camp. The curriculum has to be followed up with research and self learning.

    Great Experience

    The Data Science Career Track Bootcamp offered a comprehensive curriculum, which covers a wide range of topics in Data Science. The mentor system is also very useful. Capstone projects provide a unique experience similar to building a data science project from a problem statement to a final product. The only con I would mention is the specialization is a one-time choice. It would be great if they could offer a 1-week or so review period to make that decision.
