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 Machine Learning Course Amazing but Hard

    The springboard Machine Learning course was fun and my 1-on-1 with the mentor was superb and the career coaches they give you access to are amazingly helpful. Though the course is extremely hard and requires a lot of time to dedicate if you want to keep up with their study plan that they give you to suggest the pace you should take the course

    UX Career Track

    Highly recommend Springboard UX Career course!  The curriculum is well structured and the biggest reason for my recommendation would be having a privilege to have unlimited (1 and 1) mentor calls to exceed my UX skills throughout my project.

    Springboard Did Not Disappoint

    I did exhaustive research before picking a Data Science Bootcamp. I looked online, in-person -- even considered the DIY route. I landed at Springboard, and I was so pleased with (even surprised by) my experience. 

    Springboard excels at combining a solid curriculum with hands-on learning, but what set them apart (and what surprised me) were their weekly 1-on-1 mentor meetings and rigorous career coaching focus. I wasn't alone simply learning how to become a data scientist. I was pa...

    Very helpful and Informative

    The courses are very well put together with a lot of great content from different sources. Everyone I interacted with was very kind and helpful. I learned a lot from my time spent in it! And while I was taking courses I was paid to design a website! These are very marketable skills. A con would probably be that it is a bootcamp, so you really need to make sure you have the time, energy, and mental capacity to put the work into it. I personally found that working while trying to do the co...

    Data Science Career Track

    Pros:
    - The course work is extensive and to me seemed to be equivalent to a Masters Degree.
    - EXCELLENT mentor support and without which I would have given up. This is a key factor in my completion. Previously I tried the pathetic Udacity Business Analytics course and they lacked mentor and course work support.

    Cons:
    - Timeline is very aggressive.
    - Would love to have placement support as part of the course (this is now being offered due the covid situation...

    Data Science Career Track

    The program was very beneficial. It allowed me to see various aspects within the world of Data Science. The course offered a little bit of everything to at least get me familiar with what I may see once I am able to dive into my career. Considering there are many avenues to pursue from a career prescriptive, myself (or someone ) will probably need to find outside resources to dive deeper depending on what they'd like to fully immerse themselves in.  Coming out of the program, I feel that...

    It sounds like a cliche, but you get out what you put in. The curriculum is robust, however there are many opportunities to do extra reading and projects, and I would highly suggest doing this.  Springboard provides you with infinite amount of resources!

    Data Science Career Track Review

    I have started the Data Science Career Track in October 2019. It is basically a 6-month Data Science program with 4 mock interviews and 2 Capstone Projects. Even if you can work at your own pace, you need to put the dedication of 15/24 hours per week to finish the course within 6 months. However, there are options of a break from 1 to 3 weeks and a three month extension for free if you managed to finish at least 50% of your course during the original 6-month period. You have two attempts...
