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 Money-Back Guarantee.

Great curriculum and mentor support
Overall I found the coursework for Data Science Intensive to be very comprehensive covering different aspects. What I found most beneficial was the mentor support and online community. Thanks to my mentor I explored a completely new domain for my capstone project and was really excited to learn something new.
The career assitance that is now available is a great addition to the program.

Good to have a guide along the way
I was attracted to this program because at the time in 2015, and I think still now though to a lesser extent, it was doing something innovative by creating a curriculum of the "best of the best" content from around the web, then pairing that with weekly mentor check-ins plus opportunity to have regular Google Hangouts sessions to ask more questions in. The mentor sessions were adequate, but felt too short at 30 minutes, and were somewhat undirected. If I were to start this now (or proceed to the next level), I would want to do more to help structure the sessions to get the most out of them. The content was definitely good, though: it took me a bit of additional study to feel like I'd truly mastered some of the content, but having a guided tour through it has definitely been great to have as a foundation for that study. I would recommend this experience to someone who is willing to put in the time and be proactive about managing the mentor experience to get the most out of it.

Gaining confidence
I decided to take this UX Design course as a refresher before getting back on the job market. After having spent a year on maternity leave and another year off two years ago as well, I wasn't as confident coming back to work, where my company had hired 4 new designers since my departure. My full-time job being a web designer, I felt I needed something new that I could bring to the team, both for securing my position along with giving myself an edge above the other designers.
I was very nervous coming back to work, but now I am more confident than ever. I know that what I have learned in Springboard's UX Design course will help me make the right design decisions going forward.

UX Design Workshop
Great intro to UX Design. I loved that they pair you with a mentor and you get weekly video chat calls with them. Very helpful for feedback and keeping you accountable in the course. The curriculum was set up well and the course is self-paced so it's up to you on how fast or slow you want to go through it. Overall great experience!
