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.

    Learn at your own pace!

    If you're looking for a way to learn a new and very necessary skill set on your own timeline with multiple means of support, Springboard is strongly worth considering. Even with the few setbacks I encountered, not only do they provide a separate career coach, mentor, advisor and platform to study with other students, but if you need a pause, they can set that up too. I graduated yesterday, and have access to the curriculum forever, reinforcing Springboard's commitment to alumni.

    Data Science Bootcamp Beneficial

    Very helpful. Curriculum goes heavily through all details that one might see when working in a Data Science role. The resources available are very vast especially being able to contact a technical mentor or a career coach at a rate of once every 1-2 weeks minimum.

    Informational and eye opening!

    I've been in the program for the last 6 months and it's been a good learning experience so far. The program is well designed to get you from a non-data person to a Junior data analyst level, ready to enter the data job market. You'll learn useful skills (coding, advanced Excel and visualization) and you're well supported by a network of helpful mentors, career coaches and an online community on Slack where you can interact directly with other students and TAs. I've enjoyed my experience ...

    Great Experience!

    I recently finished my UI/UX career track program with Springboard Bootcamp. My 1-year journey was exemplary. I transitioned from Microbiology to UX design. The program offers a comprehensive well-structured curriculum, mentor guidance, career coach services, and a community to connect with fellow students. The course is self-paced and because of this, I was able to study along with taking care of my kids. This journey not only enhanced my design skills but also solidified my understandi...

    A challenging and thorough Software Engineering bootcamp.

    Compared to other bootcamps that I have seen and experienced through friends, Springboard is much better paced and supported. The ability to be flexible with the course was very attractive. The mentor system is very helpful and uplifting when you are having a hard time. The subjects covered are much more complete than other bootcamp I looked into and the instructor videos by Colt Steele are top notch. The curriculum covers most popular topics in the world of front and backend development...

    Amazing CyberSec Bootcamp

    I really felt like the course did a fantastic job of building upon knowledge. You start with the basics and continue to build upon the basics to get a much greater understanding as you get further along in the program. There is quite a variety as well and they rely on such good resources to teach you. The labs were great in walking you through step by step. Best part was having a mentor by your side the whole way through! I would highly recommend Springboard to anyone willing to take a c...

    2023 Springboard Experience

    I went into this on a limb, as my background is not in data science... I was afraid but ready! Once I began I almost couldn't stop. The curriculum has a very smooth work flow and ease of transition. As I continued, I began to feel confident and this was backed by my mentor who was incredibly supportive of me and my work. The knowledge and confidence I've gained is irreplaceable and I'm glad I took the chance.

    Navigating Career Change with Support and Velocity

    Enrolling in Springboard's Bootcamp was a pivotal move for my career transition. The program's standout feature is its robust support system, including on-call mentors, advisors, and group forums—ensuring you never feel alone. However, as a bootcamp, the curriculum's accelerated pace can be challenging, requiring forward thinking and proactive organization. Despite the rush, the comprehensive support network makes Springboard an excellent choice for those navigating a career switch.
