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.

    The Springboard Experience

    While the curriculum is broad and thorough one key feature of the boot camp, a one on one mentor, was extremely helpful in working through assignments. I would say the program is half technical and half job search. Career Coaches and Student advisors were available for the other half. One final note worth mentioning is the cohort and community support among students were essential for morale.

    Critical Stepping Stone - Stay Motivated

    The curriculum is constantly being examined and updated based on student feedback, which is a clear indicator of a commitment to quality. The tools, methodologies, assigned work and mentors are all top-notch. The Slack community is also a great resource to use when some units contain difficult topics to overcome alone.

    Having just completed the course, I am already seeing results by being invited to interview for analyst roles that incorporate some of the tools and processes I've ...

    It is worth it

    The course is well-structured, the support one gets during the course is immense and diverse ranging from 1:1 mentor calls(on-demand calls to mentors for help), office hours,  a slack channel, career coaching,  weekly calls with one's assigned mentor, technical support, advising and everything in between. My schedule didn't allow me to join the weekly office hours in real time but I could always go back and watch the videos, I could schedule appointments to speak to an on-demand mentor a...

    UX/UI Career Track

    As many others, I was so anxious and hesitant to change my career amidst a pandemic. Springboard made this decision one of the best I've ever made. The mentor and community support is the reason I went with Springboard over others. You feel supported every step of the way. The cirriculum  is very in depth - you really get what you put into it. I'm finishing this bootcamp with a new set of skills and the confidence to apply them to a new career.

    Springboard Machine Learning Engineer Career Track

    I just finished the Machine Learning Engineer Career Track with Springboard and what a journey it has been. I can't imagine having learned all this without this guidance and without my mentor. In fact I am sure I never would have. I would have putzed around in this corner and that corner of the internet and never really mastered anything.  But I DID take the course and I am amazed at what I have accomplished.  The absolute best part of the program was the mentor experience.

    Wow, that was worth it!

    Just finished my UX/UI design course with SB. So grateful for the experience, the connections, the growth. I had zero design experience and I was tired of working “gig” jobs- I feel so confident about how different my job prospects are now. Before finishing, I found an unpaid design internship thanks to the work we did to make myself marketable on LinkedIn, I have a huge network of design colleagues from the program, other bootcamp students and informational interviews - thanks to the ca...

    Great Opportunity for Job Transiton

    Pros:
    Transitioning into a new industry of UI/UX Design, this program had a great set up for beginners such as me. I didn't know I could learn so fast using programs I have never used before.

    UX/UI Design Career Track

    I just completed the curriculum of the UX/UI Design bootcamp. It took me a little over 9 months, but can be done in 6 months or sooner if you plan out our schedule accordingly. I had a mentor who was a leader in the industry and helped me so much grow as a UX Designer and Researcher! 

    I would recommend this course to career changers or recent graduates. There are four big hands-on projects in the career track and you walk away from the course with a finished portfolio. Highly reco...
