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.

    mr

    Most of the lectures seem to have been recorded in 2019 which isn't a problem for the basics but once you start getting into mid level subjects it is a bit frustrating that the projects often require you to use older versions of languages and frameworks. Particularly egregious was being required to use an older version of Redux as there has been a major overhaul since these videos were filmed.

    The projects provided were instructive and built upon each other nicely. I enjoyed worki...

    Overall great UX Design program

    For background context, I have a degree in Graphic Design and have worked on and off as a visual designer, but have more recently been working in customer support within the tech industry. I've been considering making the switch to UX design for years, but finally decided to take the leap. I felt that I needed to gain some UX specific knowledge to be successful in my endeavor, and I needed a portfolio that could showcase these new skills. 

    After researching different bootcamps, th...

    Great Experience

    I have nothing but good things to say about Springboard. Overall, I had a great experience with the Springboard Cybercareer track program.  The Springboard staff (student advisor, mentor, and career coaches) was very supportive. The program is fast-paced with detailed course material.  There were times when mini-projects took longer to complete than expected, but overall I feel like I'm job-ready after taking this course.

    This program pushed my skillsets to a new level!

    The UX/UI curriculum was incredibly robust, well designed, and planned out in a way that made the learning process comprehensive and engaging. I found that the projects themselves were clear and I enjoyed how much freedom I was given to make each design my own. I enjoyed working with and appreciate the amount of support Springboard provided and utilized all resources at different stages of the curriculum. It was extremely helpful to have my mentor, student advisor, career advisor and sla...

    Springboard UX/UI course

    Springboard really prepared me to go into the world and apply the skills that acquired through the course. The course is structured beautifully and allows the student to learn the ins and out of the UX UI world. They also provide you with a mentor, who can guide you and help you understand the hard topics. Highly recommend this course to everyone.

    Mentors and coaches made the experience

    I recently completed the UI/UX Design Career course with Springboard and it was generally a positive experience. The course itself is mostly made up of links to articles and websites, and while those were helpful, it made for some confusing moments when it came time to complete assignments as the information given and the assignment requirements didn't line up. The most valuable aspect of the course was the direct feedback from mentors, and my weekly 1-on-1 mentor calls in which mine wou...
