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.

    Springboard is awesome.

    Springboard is an amazing way to change careers into the data world. Their mentor program, career coaches, and curriculum are top notch! I felt prepared and well equipped for a new job I had no experience in prior to Springboard. I HIGHLY recommend this program if you want to jump into the data world and have no prior experience.

    Best Choice for Bootcamps

    I took 2 weeks to research the different paths to take to get into UX Design & UX Research.  Springboard was to only one that had everything I was looking for.  It is 9+ months long so you get a well rounded education.  They provide you with a weekly mentor meetings plus unlimited mentors if you have questions outside of your weekly mentor meeting, you meet with career coaches and you have your work verified by a hiring manager.  The 4 portfolio case studies include a real world proj...

    Springboard Really Lives Up To Its Name!

    I found the Springboard program to be an amazing resource for me. As a professional graphic designer prior to expanding into the field of UX/UI design by way of the bootcamp, I found myself learning many new things that I had not previously learned in school.  The mentors and career coaches were also great highlights of the program as well. They were very helpful and instrumental in my success. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is looking for a good bootcamp program.

    Great experience!

    A big reason I chose Springboard was for the mentorship they offer. My mentor (who is an experienced UX designer) was nothing but supportive and encouraging throughout. I have heard of other students with mentors that they didn’t have a great experience with. However, Springboard has a VERY responsive support team, and I’m sure they’d be quick to act on that if it’s ever brought up. They are very friendly and accommodating. Mentor meetings occur once a week, and my mentor gave me feedbac...

    Great mentorship & coaching

    The best part of Springboard is the mentorship. My mentor provided me with weekly feedback & was a sounding board for my concerns. She was excellent, and I know I wouldn't have gotten a great experience without her. I also really enjoyed the industry design project- where I got placed with a real company and got to practice my new skills in a real world environment.

    Every step of the way, I felt supported!

    I was considering a career transition, a friend of mine recommended me to Springboard Data Analytics career track. I just graduated after 6 months of intense learning. I felt so supported throughout the way, the amount of mentors available to help and motivate is unparalleled. There were also a slack community where students could ask for help. In moments of challenges, I'd go to slack and see how other students were also struggling and seeking help and then overcoming the curriculum. Th...

    A Bootcamp set up for you to succeed!

    I wasn't sure which bootcamp to go with before starting UX Design, but I decided on Springboard based on reviews and my own schedule. I am so glad I did! It is completely online and done at your own pace, which worked perfectly with my weird work schedule. The mentors and career coaches are overall very helpful and seem to have your goals and success in mind. At times calls were canceled last minute, but other than that I had virtually no problems. Definitely recommend Springboard!

    High Quality Prep Course

    This is a review of the software engineering career track prep course, so not the full boot camp. However, because of the prep course I am way more prepared to dive into the full 9 month program. It was the perfect introduction to the video learnings, practice problems, mentor calls, student Slack community, and more that is part of the full boot camp. Colt Steele's teaching style is very clear and understandable, even for beginners. The practices were also very insightful. Overall, I ha...

    Pleasantly pleased Graduate

    I recently finished the UX UI career track certification after a little over a year of full - time studying. After researching numerous bootcamps, I was so hesitant about the price but felt SB had the most to offer. I can say it was worth every penny.  I will recommend to complete the course slowly in order to soak in the material and capitalize on all the resources the course offers.

    I wasn't sure how'd I'd feel after graduation, but I can say I feel confident and prepared going ...

    Amazing

    I had an amazing time at Springboard! The learning curriculum is up-to-date, the instructor is a fantastic teacher, mentors are highly knowledgeable and students are given a lot of time - if they need it - to practice what they are being taught. Students are not being played false with the job guarantee and they are given all the information required to study and pass their 4 mock interviews to secure the job guarantee!

    Great curriculum and support

    I chose the Springboard Data Science Career Track because it had great reviews, a job offer guarantee, and it had the most in-depth training program with over 500 hours of training material and 14 projects including 3 capstone projects to share with potential employers. They also provide significant career coaching which really helps with finding great jobs and getting interviews. In my opinion, the most valuable part is the mentorship.
