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.

    Manageable course with exceptional mentorship!

    I’m so glad I chose Springboard. Overall, the curriculum provided is easily accessible and manageable. The mentorship experience was exceptional. You will get all the support you need throughout the course. I have gained valuable  learning experience from the capstones and the industry project. It was indeed a smooth learning experience for me.

    Applicable knowledge, interesting projects, great support!

    I completed the UX/UI design career track BootCamp with Springboard. I had an excellent experience. My mentor was knowledgeable and supportive, the projects you work on go towards your portfolio, and the career services help you position yourself as a stand-out candidate. I feel like the program prepared me to enter the workforce as a designer and I thoroughly enjoyed the curriculum.

    Springboard is an amazing data analysis program!

    This program is self paced, has a great curriculum, and a fantastic support system! The mentors, career coaches, and instructors (in the videos) are very knowledgeable and explain things well! The only “con” I have is that the timeline given is a bit aggressive, but totally doable if you put your kind to it! They have options to pause the course and take breaks also, so that helps. Would recommend Springboard to anyone looking to break into tech!

    Excellent Course

    I enrolled in the Data Analytics Career Track in April 2022. As a working mother, it was important that I had a structured curriculum while also having the flexibility to learn when I had the time. I had some experience in Data Analytics before joining this course, but there was so much offered in the DACT, that I now feel extremely confident when calling myself a Data Analyst. In addition to the learning material, I really enjoyed the mentor portion. Not only did this help keep me accou...

    Good for UX/UI

    Springboard does a great job introducing new people to the basic cirriculum to the UX Field. It's a 6 - 9 month extensive program and has a lot of content compared to other bootcamps. It also comes with a job garuntee program and a personal mentor but it doesn't mean that you are getting a job without hard work. The only things that stood out as a downside for me personally was only meeting your mentor for 30 minutes to go over your week worth of work and I also found kinda dissapointing...

    Came to switch careers

    While the program is sometimes frustrating in how understated some of the prompts are, it is overall a great experience. With the help of Springboard, I feel ready to actually switch industries and careers. I started looking for something new due to health issues and Springboard came recommended to me, both because of the creative side of things and because of the ability of the course to help a career change.

    Great learning experience at springboard

    I like the fact that this Bootcamp taught two languages. It gives me more confidence to pick up new programming tools. It was also great to work with my mentor. It made a huge difference to work with someone who is patient and strict at the same time. I improved a lot.

    Generally Positive experience

    The course was well planned out and I learned a lot, especially as I was changing careers from something very different. The career help was one of the stand outs to me, the career coach's were excellent. I did experience some scheduling issues with my mentor though.

    Engaging, challenging, empowering

    1:1 expert mentor oversight with weekly meetings is a massive advantage of this program. I loved being able to bounce thoughts and ideas off of my expert mentor regarding projects, concepts, job interviews, and design theory. Participating in the IDP was a fantastic way to get acquainted with the industry. The curriculum was fantastic, and the additional learning opportunities were vast. It was a great experience, and I feel thoroughly prepared to enter the job market.
