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 tuition-back guarantee allows students a six-month runway to land a job.
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.
I really enjoyed my springboard course. I was able to learn a lot about data science at my own pace in my own time. I do have a background in programming and mathematics so I found the material relatively easy to take on. The mentoring element was what attracted me to the course and also what I found very helpful. Being able to talk to and get feedback from an expert data scientist was invaluable. I now intend to use my experience with springboard to help me find a job as a data scientist....

Hello; I came to Springboard from a recommendation from a fellow teacher. I am a graphic designer with over thirty years experience in Print design. This was an excellent course introducing me to the functions of The User Experience Designer.
Interviews, Surveys, Sorts, Personas, User Maps, User Flows, Site Maps, Wireframes and Usability testing all performed during a short period of time. All great experiences for someone who wanted to learn the UX process!

The course materials were up to the moment, and my mentor was fantastic. We developed a good working rapport on our weekly sessions which made the material very easy to digest.
Adding the workshop created a lot of interest on my LinkedIn profile and resume. I have been contacted by some top notch people, and am looking forward to incorporating what I learned into my work.
I will start off by introducing myself - I am currently working as a software test analyst with absolutely zero knowledge of te field of UX. I was not hapopy with my job and wanted to learn something new, do something creative and moved towards the field of UX. I did a lot of research on the web on courses to take and came across this one. There were a lot of good reviews about the course and like everybody, I too though they might be fake.

As a student at Springboard myself - I can assure you, they are NOT! These guys are just that good.
The team at springboard is simply amazing. They assign you a mentor who will guide you throughout the process, and believe me they are highly accomplished people with very busy schedules, but they will find time for you. I email my mentor like 3:00AM in the morning(literally) and his is the very first email I receive the next day - they are just that helpful. We have student board advisor as well and she too is awesome. If you reach out to her for something, trust me you will get a response in next 5 minutes!
They have really really helpful. Though I have not completed the course yet, so can not comment on getting a job in the field, although I am sure it will turn up to be good. But, it has been an amazing learning experience and I would encourage all of you to enroll :)

Having a mentor helped me
The content aligned with a bunch of new projects I was taking on in my sales ops role. Since my company didn't have capacity to train me, they agreed to pay for the course.
The online content Springboard curated was all relevant and on point. The case studies built on the readings, and I was impressed/excited with the real world problems I could solve with the tools!
Now that I'm on the other side, I'm comfortbale using SQL, Tableau, and Excel to tackle just a data problem. But I will miss my mentor!
I'd recomend the course to anyone who wants to get a grip on data processing tools, learn what problems they can tackle with data, and doesn't have a big team of data experts/mentors at their company.
I'll definitely look to springboard when I'm ready to level-up.
I took the UX Design course because I was about to wade into a major ecommerce platform shift at work and I wanted to be able to make the right design decisions. I got all of that and more. When you're dealing with programmers and designers without a clear UX understanding, the course comes in really handy. It was also helpful in terms of laying out ways to figure out what you need to know. I even learned to use some new tools.

The best part was probably the Springboard people. The mentors were helpful, and the office hours were great. You learn a lot watching a few UX experts tear apart someone's project in an extremely constructive way. Ultimately the Springboard people care about what they're doing, and helping you succeed is part of their mission.
I feel like the course laid a foundation that I'll keep returning to and building on.
I’m an alum of the Springboard Foundations of Data Science workshop and was blown away by the expert-curated course content. It’s amazing how frictionless the learning process becomes when you’re only looking at the best material out there for a specific topic, curated by folks who are industry practitioners in that field. Mentor and community support is incredible, and a wonderful team managing the product.
The course material was very well curated (saved me a ton of time looking around for info piece by piece). The curriculum was laid out in a logical, step-by-step method, with theory followed by practice.
The interaction within the Google+ community also helped as a social aspect, and was a great sounding board to bounce ideas around. Weekly office hours and linking up with mentors who are actually working in the industry was great to get an understanding of how the industry actua...

The interaction within the Google+ community also helped as a social aspect, and was a great sounding board to bounce ideas around. Weekly office hours and linking up with mentors who are actually working in the industry was great to get an understanding of how the industry actually works, and peak into a "day in the life of" scenario.
I really appreciated the self-paced nature of the course. We all learn at different paces, and it helps to be able to control that to really optimize the experience.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this course for anyone curious about the world of UX!
I'm a self-trained UX Designer based in Mexico. In my country is difficult fo find formal education on UX so It was hard to connect the dots before this course.
I finally feel that my expertise in UX's different fields has certainly improved and I'm able to practice better UX and product design.
I loved that it was online and at my own pace, it allowed me to keep my full-time job. The mentorship is a fantastic guidance to orient learnings better and clear questions.

The Foundations of Data Science course was a great way to get exposed to the field of data science and to learn the methods and techniques used to solve business problems. The coursework is valuable and easy to follow, and I found the capstone project work and weekly mentor calls and ongoing interactions to be the best part of the program.

The coursework is valuable and easy to follow, and I found the capstone project work and weekly mentor calls and ongoing interactions to be the best part of the program. Springboard's program to pair each student with a mentor is such a great idea that I benefitted from immensely. They have top notch mentors that are experts in their field, and the mentor proactively provides guidance and advice about which data science tools make sense to use in specific situations. The capstone project also provides a great opportunity to apply the methods learned in the course to solve a real-world business problem.
I, like many, saw an ad for Springboard's UX course on Facebook and it piqued my interest as I had already been looking to transition in my career from a graphic designer to a UI/Visual design role. After reviewing the curriculum and comparing the cost and features among it and a few other programs, I decided it was the best option for me... and boy am I glad I did!

My background definitely prepared me for some of the concepts taught in this course, and I can say that even without any prior knowledge in this or a related field, you would be fine. Nothing is glazed over, it's all thoughtfully prepared and the Google+ community is a great resource for interaction and feedback.
Overall, I think anyone who is looking to get into the UX field could benefit from this program and the skills you receive with it.
When I first saw the ad for Springboard on my facebook feed I was a little suspicious about the "Become a UX Designer in 8 weeks", I admit it sounded appealing, I clicked on it and learned more about the curriculum. I liked how the class was programmed I realized how beneficial it would be for me and my career. I have been looking for a course like this for a while and I have to admit it was the right choice.

I liked how the class was programmed I realized how beneficial it would be for me and my career. I have been looking for a course like this for a while and I have to admit it was the right choice. My mentor was very critical to my progress and without her I don't think I would have been pushing myself to go through each task every week (I didn't want to put it aside from time to time, even though I could have). I would recommend anyone interested to learn more about UXD to check this course out.
Springboard provided 1-on-1 mentorship and a great curriculum to follow. One of the nicest perks of an online course is that you can pace yourself and don't feel the need to follow the set schedule. They do tell you the average time is about 3 months to get thorugh the entire course, but you can spend as long as you need.
