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.

    Finding joy while tripling my income

    After a year of hard work and moving twice I finally finished the springboard UX/UI bootcamp and found that I not only love the role but also could find a job that paid three times as much as I made in my previous career. I was even able to be hired before I even finished the course which I thought was impossible but with the guidance from my amazing mentor and the curriculum and career coaches I was able to stand out and get recruited without even applying for any jobs. I am very gratef...

    Data Analytics Bootcamp

    The course starts out nontechnical as it covers economics, finance, and strategic thinking (MECE Issue Trees), etc. It really helps with your LinkedIn profile (I have already had recruiters reaching out to me). The data visualization unit began a series of more technical units. The pacing really helped me to gauge how much I needed to work on each week. One thing I wish was different is how much time elapses in between units, sometimes I forgot the content that I learned. I really enjoye...

    It was a great experience

    I joined Springboard to do UX/UI career track course. It was a great experience. Springboard is perfect for someone looking to do the coursework at their pace and learn in-depth about UX and UI. You are also assigned a mentor who will help you with the projects and give great feedback. I was grateful to work with some amazing mentors who helped me build knowledge that will solve real-life problems.

    UX/UI design Career track

    I've heard a lot of mixed reviews, but I had a great experience. One thing I heard that was a "bad" reason to choose Springboard was that all the information could be found for free on the internet. That may be true, but Springboard packages the information into a great package. I know I'm not disciplined enough to find the information for myself, nor would I even know where to begin. Anyways, my experience was overall positive.

    One of the best decisions I’ve made

    Here is a short backstory. I was self-studying web development for a few months before joining the program. And although I taught myself JavaScript and knew it pretty well, I didn't have a profound comprehension of how things work behind the scenes. And let's be honest, in this field we are forever, students. 

    Then I found Colt Steele’s youtube channel where he explains lots of important concepts in great detail. In one of his videos, he mentioned the Springboard Bootcamp where he...

     Pros: Datacamp resource - I really liked in-browser coding paired with short lecture videos to be very effective to get practice with the key parts of data science problem solving. There were lots of practice exercises that helped give me a better understanding of the concepts. Mentorship - I really liked my mentor, he was very experienced and had lots of industry knowledge, and it was obvious he had a strong grasp of the subject matter.
