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.

    UX Design Career Track

    I was looking for more UX courses after graduating from undergrad as I realized my current knowledge of the UX industry was lacking. I came across Springboard and was sold by the one-on-one mentorship and the portfolio building projects. The program did not disappoint as the program provides in-depth lessons on key UX topics and I was able to get client experience to boost my portfolio through the IDP Project at the end of the course. Would highly recommend!

    Great Experience - Would Recommend

    I had minimum analytical experience before starting this course, other than a Finance degree, knowledge of statistics, and above average Excel skills. I began this course to prepare me for a career in Data Analytics and I can confidently say that after seven months I feel very prepared to succeed in this field. I learn by doing, and that is how the majority of the Springboard curriculum is set up. When learning new skills, they provide guided real world practice, simulations, and guidanc...

    Springboard's UI/UX Design Program Review

    Having recently completed Springboard's UI/UX Design program, I can confidently say it was an enriching experience overall. One of the highlights was undoubtedly the people I had the opportunity to connect with, especially my mentor, who demonstrated genuine care and expertise throughout the journey. Their guidance was invaluable, and I feel fortunate to have been matched with such a supportive individual.


    The curriculum provided a solid foundation in UI/UX design...

    Springboard provides comprehensive training and support

    I just completed Springboard's Cyber Security Career Track program and am very happy with the results. The program offers one-on-one bi-weekly and on-demand mentorship with industry professionals, monthly and on-demand career coaching, as well as comprehensive training in the basics of Cyber Security. The coursework prepared me well for the CompTIA Security+ exam, which I was able to pass on my first try without ANY professional IT experience! Additionally, the cost of the program is rea...

    Awesome!

    Springboard is a largely self-paced bootcamp, though there are still milestones that need to be met by the student. I would say for me the biggest pro of Springboard is that they offer their students more career support than any other program out there, which is massive! The con of Springboard is that there are no live lectures, so if that's the environment in which you learn, then the nature of this program can be difficult for you.

    Informative and "Entry-Level" Friendly

    I completed Springboard's Cyber Security Career Track course in April 2024 and am very happy that I decided to go with Springboard. I am a former coach/teacher with zero IT/Tech experience, minus building and maintaining my PC during COVID and teaching the older coaches how to use a laptop, lol. I had researched and talked to multiple boot camps offering a cybersecurity track but needed a course that would allow me to work at my own pace and not be confined to pre-determined meeting time...

    Great mentorship experience

    I joined a bootcamp to speed up my networking while in a medium-sized city. I really enjoyed learning while being in touch with great coaches and mentors. At the end of the day, you learn cybersecurity and get a job by working hard and putting yourself out there. Springboard made that more possible in a very busy season of life.

    Worth it

    Course is fast paced but detailed , gave me skills that i was missing. The support and mentorship program they have is wonderful. I would recommend to anyone wanting to start a career in data analytics. Would be nice to have included more visualization tools like Denodo and more ways for student to interact. Career support/coaching is wonderful in helping you get your desire analytics position
