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.

    Best Bootcamp for UX/UI

    PROs: Great Curriculum. MOSTLY easy to understand information. Mentors are Top Notch, they know what they are doing and are more than willing to help you understand and get past the tough parts of the course. 
    CONs: Some of the process can stall out. I work best with a team. i have realized that. This way we can use our strengths to help each other. It would have been an asset to have projects to do with others. But I guess thats what will be there working in an online environment.

    Supportive Learning Environment

    Pros: Great communication and support from staff (especially during COVID times); straightforward curriculum; weekly mentor calls for support and guidance; internship with a real company; supportive network of fellow students; ability to pay after you land a job; takes student feedback for how to improve the course; and career coaching continues after you finish the course.

    Data Science Carrer Track

    I enrolled already having some knowledge in Data Science but wasn’t able to find a job by myself. Springboard taught me not only data science knowledge but, more importantly, skills on how to present yourself properly. With my mentor’s help, I started blogging about my projects, which, I believe, helped me immensely. Resume writing tips I couldn’t get from anywhere else are also very valuable.

    UI/UX Designer

    Pros:
    • Project-based curriculum. You'll complete the course with four portfolio-ready projects.
    • Weekly mentor calls and development of mentor relationship
    • Networking requirements within the curriculum and career coaching, support, and preparation

    Cons:
    • No formal collaboration with fellow students
    • Industry Client Project (in my experience) was with a very small startup; a bit challenging to produce impactful work in the 4-week timeframe

    Learn the tools and get great career support

    This program will definitely prepare you and give you the skills needed to be an effective analyst. I came into it with some analysis experience in my past but had been out of the industry for several years so I wanted to brush up old skills and learn new skills. Since COVID caused all my contract work to be cancelled this year I was able to work on this program nearly full time and finished it in just over 3 months. Most of the assignments were clear and could be completed with the prov...

    Hands on learning experience, I've become a much better designer with a portfolio I am confident about post-completion

    What I love about this course is that the built-in structure and the curated content makes the difference when trying to learn on your own vs taking this course. In retrospect I would have taken the UI/UX Design Career Track but it wasn't available when I started the UX Career track. Regardless, I think this course was worth it. I got to collaborate with other designers for my IDP and the opportunity to collaborate made the experience much more amazing.

    All in all awesome experience

    It took me a bit longer than the estimated 6 months to complete my course with Springboard, but it was worth the time. Rigorous curriculum, challenging tasks, and one-on-one mentor support would be good enough reason to choose Springboard. But on top of all that they offer excellent career services. Highly recommended!
