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.

UX/UI Design Career Track
I was worried about taking a bootcamp online for I didn't know how supported I would be throughout the process. This was a complete career change for me and I was hesitant for I thought getting lost in the curriculum would be a possibility. After completing the program I can say that the amount of support you receive to stay on track was fantastic. They really have designed the program for supporting students. I will say that I utilized my mentor and student advisor the most however there are a ton of other supportive resources Springboard provides their students with. The key is to verbalize the need for support and reach out. Thats it!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Good for the basics and getting your foot in the industry
I didn't have any experience with UX or UI, and that being said, this course is one of the if not the hardest thing I've ever done. It took me a lot longer than normal, but I think it's worth it in the sense that I have a decent foundation of the topic and now have my own portfolio. I have to say that I think it takes most people longer than their 9-month length timeframe to complete the curriculum, so keep that in mind. They are also very accommodating and understanding should something come up in your time while in the course. They granted me multiple pauses and freezes as my mental health was declining. Those breaks really helped me clear my mind and get back into things.
I only recently applied to complete my course, so I don't have any feedback about job assistance, but the fact that they offer it post-completion is assuring.Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job supportN/AInstructors4.0 -

Great place & network for structured learning!
If you find yourself unsure of where to begin, a bootcamp could prove beneficial, just as it did for me. My personal mentor not only met but exceeded my expectations, aiding me not only in preparing for the bootcamp but also in setting realistic expectations beyond its confines. While individuals with self-discipline and a tolerance for unstructured learning might not necessarily require a bootcamp, as all the necessary information is available online, the true value of this particular bootcamp lies in the connections you forge with fellow participants and the valuable insights offered by mentors to enhance your skills. My only suggestion for improvement would be to include unlimited IDP List projects, allowing students to gain more real-life work experience rather than relying solely on self-created projects. Further, be prepared to be resilient in the job search phase.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job support4.0Instructors5.0 -

David HarvisonGraduate · Software Engineering Career Track · Graduated 2023
mr
Most of the lectures seem to have been recorded in 2019 which isn't a problem for the basics but once you start getting into mid level subjects it is a bit frustrating that the projects often require you to use older versions of languages and frameworks. Particularly egregious was being required to use an older version of Redux as there has been a major overhaul since these videos were filmed.
The projects provided were instructive and built upon each other nicely. I enjoyed working with my mentor to build ideas for my two capstones. My mentor was also helpful in finding alternative resources when I didn't fully understand the material.
I am moving into my post completion career support and I'm pleased with my current coach. The career coaching during the course was a mixed bag. I had a coach or two that would tell me what to do but if I asked for whys they would bloviate and then circle back to telling me to do the same thing.
Overall I'm happy with Springboard and recommend them.Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job support4.0Instructors5.0 -
Kristin MurrayGraduate · UX Career Track · Graduated 2023
Overall great UX Design program
For background context, I have a degree in Graphic Design and have worked on and off as a visual designer, but have more recently been working in customer support within the tech industry. I've been considering making the switch to UX design for years, but finally decided to take the leap. I felt that I needed to gain some UX specific knowledge to be successful in my endeavor, and I needed a portfolio that could showcase these new skills.
After researching different bootcamps, there were four factors that ultimately made me choose Springboard. These included the face to face support with real people, via weekly mentor meetings (accountability is critical) and career coaching (helping me prepare for the job search was also a big deal). The Industry Design Project gave Springboard a big edge over other programs, because it pairs you with other students and a startup for a real world project. This really helps you to practice collaboration with other designers and communication skills with stakeholders, and ultimately gives you a real world portfolio piece. Lastly, the mock interviews at the end of the course were a big draw for me. As someone who doesn't enjoy the interview process, it really helped me to feel more prepared and know what to expect before going into my job search.
Overall, my experience with Springboard was incredibly positive. I think that some of the course materials could be updated to be a bit more current and I would love to see the IDP include students from the other programs (like developers) so that you could really get that cross functional collaboration experience, but overall, if you're someone who is looking to upskill and you prefer accountability and a structured learning environment, this was a wonderful program.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Taylor KingstonGraduate · UI / UX Design Career Track · Graduated 2023
This program pushed my skillsets to a new level!
The UX/UI curriculum was incredibly robust, well designed, and planned out in a way that made the learning process comprehensive and engaging. I found that the projects themselves were clear and I enjoyed how much freedom I was given to make each design my own. I enjoyed working with and appreciate the amount of support Springboard provided and utilized all resources at different stages of the curriculum. It was extremely helpful to have my mentor, student advisor, career advisor and slack community to lean on! I would say the toughest parts of the course were times when I got too in my head about my designs and had to take a step back or lean on outside critiques. There were times where I felt somewhat alone when making design decisions for each project, which makes me even more excited to work on a team within the industry. I would encourage any new student to reach out to the slack community and not only ask for peer reviews/help but to offer the same in return. I made a handful of connections through the program and am satisfied with my experience!Overall4.0Curriculum5.0Job support4.0Instructors4.0 -

Overall great and rewarding experience
I just submitted to complete my course and am really happy with my experience. The mentor relationship is what sold me on using Springboard and was very helpful to learn, keep making progress, and get great ideas for future learning. There are aspects of the curriculum that could be improved, I like to take my time with things, but felt pressed for time on some of the more complex projects. But overall I feel like this has prepared me to launch a career in data. The price could be a barrier for people, but there are options for the guarantee. And the community built around the course is amazing. So it was well worth it for me.Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -
Laurel CahoonGraduate · UI / UX Design Career Track · Graduated 2023
Mentors and coaches made the experience
I recently completed the UI/UX Design Career course with Springboard and it was generally a positive experience. The course itself is mostly made up of links to articles and websites, and while those were helpful, it made for some confusing moments when it came time to complete assignments as the information given and the assignment requirements didn't line up. The most valuable aspect of the course was the direct feedback from mentors, and my weekly 1-on-1 mentor calls in which mine would talk about his experiences in the industry and give advice. I will say the course is overpriced for what it is- but they are in the middle of a rebrand and making changes to the course, so maybe it's more up-to-date information now and worth the higher price tag? I'm looking forward to the career coaching and support that comes now that I've completed the course, I'm hoping it will help me get my foot in the door in an industry that was hit hard by recent layoffs.Overall3.0Curriculum2.0Job support4.0Instructors4.0 -
Hannah DavisonGraduate · UI / UX Design Career Track · Graduated 2023
I highly recommend!
When I started the program, I was concerned it wouldn't be immersive enough to prepare for an actual career in the field. However, after receiving my certification, I am confident I am ready for my first UX job! The coursework is challenging but doable since your mentor is with you every step of the way. The large projects are broken up nicely into smaller sections, making it seem less daunting. Overall, I had a great experience with my weekly mentor meetings, the curriculum, the projects, and the career coaching. I also loved that I got a month of real-world experience at their end, through the IDP (industry design project). I also appreciate that there is a job search guarantee, meaning they will refund your tuition after 6 months without landing a job (providing you meet the monthly job search requirements.) Definitely a good value for the tuition cost, too! Overall, I strongly recommend Springboard if you are looking for UX/UI boot camp!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -
