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.

    Software Engineering Track Review

    I had a great experience in the Software Engineering Track. I feel as though I have learned the skills needed for an entry-level developer role in a matter of 9 months, which is a great bargain considering the traditional 4 years needed to obtain a traditional university degree in CS.
    Pros: Create your own schedule,  thorough video tutorials for all subject matters in full-stack web development,  knowledgeable mentors and TAs, low tuition price compared to other bootcamp programs, gui...

    I'd recommend this program to anyone who is interested in breaking into data science.

    The skills you will acquire and the confidence you will gain in yourself as a data scientist are quite remarkable. The curriculum is challenging but never impossible, and the freedom to choose your own Capstone projects allows you to really personalize your experience. My mentor was incredibly knowledgable and always very helpful in answering any questions without just giving me the answers to my problems. The career support was mixed in throughout the course and all of the coaches that ...

    I feel prepared to get a Software Engineering job

    I recently completed the curriculum of the Software Engineering Career Track at Springboard. I quit my previous career to pursue engineering, and tackled this course as my full time job. I finished the 9 month curriculum in about 6 months, and loved the flexibility the course gave me to go at the pace of my choosing. Many frontend, backend, and database technologies were covered including JavaScript, Node, Express, React, Redux, Python, Flask, SQL, and SQLAlchemy.

    UX/UI Designer

    Springboard was pretty amazing for me. Here's my honest review:

    I did a lot of research prior to enrolling. I highly encourage you do the same. There are lots of bootcamps out there, some are much better than others. I can only vouch for Springboard. I was skeptical I won't lie... a shortcut to a career feels like it's too good to be true. It feels like you're cheating or something and people who went to school for this career must have a huge leg up.
