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.

    An excellent introduction to the field of user experience

    Springboard's UX Design course is an excellent introduction to the field of user experience. The curriculum, my wonderful mentor, and my project all worked in tandem to solidify my understanding of the general UX process, such as creating personas and conducting usability tests. It's also more affordable compared to many other bootcamps, which can cost thousands of dollars. Springboard is self-paced and has a monthly fee, so you can complete it earlier and pay less, which is what I d...

    Springboard: A Great Program for Those Looking for a Career in Data Science!

    A great program with a job guarantee!  If you're self driven, this course will really jump-start your career in Data Science, or your money back!  The curriculum was challenging, but fair, and I was able to learn a lot in a short time.  The net result was being hired as a level II analyst (with no prior data analyst experience), which also resulted in a 30% increase in my salary!

    Solid UX design course

    I've taken a UX design course with Springboard in the fall of 2018. I've chosen them for one on one weekly lessons with the mentors, working in the industry. The curriculum is pretty good, and there is always an awesome guy Andrew (I hope i haven't confused the name) on forum who always reacts to anything you post, so at least you are getting some reaction, which is nice. This being said, there is a lot of stuff you need to dig into yourself if you really want to get to the core of it. How...

    Great UX Design Course

    The course was incredibly easy to jump-in and start learning right away; with a nice variety of mediums to learn from.  I come from a completely unrelated background and came to this course to make a career change.  Springboard gave me all the tools that I needed to become fully confident in learning the UX process from start to finish, theories as well as modern-day applications AND getting me a solid first project to showcase on my portfolio.  1:1 mentor calls were by far the best part a...

    Review Springboard

    I'm very satisfied with Springboard in every aspect. The lessons are well-made, valuable and useful. My mentor, the team and the support were excellent. The things I would improve, that I would optionally make it possible to lengthen the time of the weekly calls. I would give more attention and time to the career development. Overall I'm highly satisfied with the course, I would recommend to any of my friends who are interested to learn UX Design.

    Springboard Jump-started my Career

    Springboard's course on User Experience (UX) Design profoundly changed my career path. Only three years ago,  I was a philosophy major at Vassar College. While I was a tech-enthusiast, I always believed that my non-coding background limited my ability to enter this field once I graduated. However, by sheer luck, I stumbled upon Springboard's online UX course and signed up. At the time, I hardly had any little knowledge of what UX was at all. Now, as a UX Designer at IBM, I cannot stress ho...

    Springboard Data Science track was truly amazing!


    I come from a software engineering background.  I have been developing data-centric applications for over a decade but have never did any data science.

    I always wanted to take it to the next level by learning data science/machine learning, but I always found it too difficult to do on my own. There's just too much knowledge/learning-paths/etc. out there that I kept getting confused on which way to proceed.

    Thankfully, I found Springboard. They have been an absolute...

    Springboard Feedback

    From start to finish I was very pleased with this program. It does require you to stay focused and self motivated but as long as you can keep a good work ethic I don't see why someone should succeed in this program. It was very informative and the courses were quite thorough. 10 out 10 would recommend this program to anyone who desires to pursue a career in UX design.

    Best Mentor ever! You will really learn!

    I had a wonderful experience with Springboard, my mentor really helped learn a lot from this course. The combination of online classes with a human touch of a mentor is fantastic.

Overall, I recommend this course to business analytics beginners and pro's since the course help you understand each tool from the beginning to the end. I have used my learnings in my curren...
