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.

    short, sweet, and to the point.

    The Software Engineering Prep Course was excellent.  It was short, sweet and to the point.  I had 6 mentor calls, where we practiced algorithms.  My mentor was an active Software engineering manager.  He gave great insights into the type of methodologies managers like to see in applicants.

    Best Online Data Analytics Course

    With a plethora of online programs on tech courses, it's difficult to choose one, especially when you have to commit a considerable amount of time and money. I am glad that I chose Springboard. The courses were well organized, systematic, and easy to understand. It was clear that the team had put in a lot of thought and hard work into preparing the course materials. However, the most remarkable aspect of Springboard is that they give you unlimited opportunities for interacting with the m...

    Data Science Career Track

    My experience with Springboard's Data Science Career Track was excellent.  The curriculum was up to date, detailed, and relevant.  There was a good balance between guided work and individual projects.  My mentor and career coach both helped me tremendously and were very flexible when trying to schedule calls after work or on weekends.  I would recommend this course to anyone interested in Data Science.

    Chasing my dream career.

    There was a problem. I wanted to become a coder. However, I didn't know the skills and knowledge necessary to do so. Springboard provided me with the solution to that. I was able to learn everything I needed to pursue this career.

    Springboard UX/UI Track

    I did quite a bit of research of the available options around UX/UI boot camps before I finally decided to go with Springboard and I am so happy with my choice. It's an amazing option for those who want to break into the UX/UI field because of their job guarantee, but I also really appreciated the fact that I could waive the guarantee and still take advantage of the curriculum. Springboard was particularly strong in terms of the depth and richness of it's curriculum and the amazing suppo...

    Springboard Is Awesome-sauce

    The course is effective enough, though some of the material is a touch outdated. It wasn't enough to affect me in a way that made me feel left in the dust, and their was enough practice and supplemental training to make it mostly a non-issue. The real shining pinnacle of this school is the support, which addressed every issue I brought up quickly and sincerely. My student advisor was attentive, my mentor was effective (practical, creative, and knowledgeable), and the support team was - s...

    Best Bootcamp Ever

    I had the opportunity to work with the Springboard stuff and community within their UX program. It was a fantastic program that really allowed me to gain industry knowledge and industry based skillsets and tools that I wouldn't have gotten from a master's program. I really loved the mentor calls, the curriculum, and how streamlined the program was to be. 

    When I decided to choose between bootcamps, I was deciding between Springboard and CareerFoundry. At the end, I went for Spring...

    UI/UX Design Career Track

    The most valuable part of Springboard is the weekly mentoring sessions. I learned the most from my mentor and got individualized feedback. Springboard will also accommodate your mentor requests. I was originally assigned a mentor from Portugal, but I wanted a mentor who was local (Bay Area) and Springboard re-matched me accordingly. The career counselors and other mentors have all given insightful feedback. I always came away from mentoring sessions with actionable steps for improvement....

    Glad to choose Springboard for a career change!

    I would definitely recommend Springboard for anyone wanting to learn about UX and UI. I didn’t know anything about design and come from a finance background. This course really made me feel that I’m ready to make a career change Into UX. Very well organised and the staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Feel great after finishing it. Thanks!

    Software Engineering Program

    This was a great program for me to move from near "0" to 100. It is a general soft dev bootcamp but mainly focuses on web development. So if you know you're interested in that (or not sure and just want a general software engineering bootcamp) this is a good one for you! They cover JavaScript, Node, React, Redux(optional), Python Flask, SQL, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, and more. It's self paced though you meet with a mentor each week which helps keep you on a schedule.
