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.

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.

    From Novice to Coder: My Real Experience

    My credentials: I am a Bachelor’s degree holder with prior experience with a non-technical background (aka beginner). I’ve been doing lots of webinars and short courses. However, this will be my first time doing a self-paced Boot Camp. 


    In this review, I will provide my feedback as objectively as possible. 
    Here are a few things I like about the course (pros).

    Engaging, Supportive, Comprehensive, Challenging, Exceptional!!

    Springboard's bootcamp is top-notch, and the support is fantastic.
    The curriculum, designed by Colt Steele, is amazing. He's a great teacher, making complex concepts easy to understand and even fun. The course is thorough, with no shortcuts, and having a personal mentor is incredibly helpful.
    The career-focused units cover networking, LinkedIn, resume building, and mock interviews. Any issues I had were quickly addressed by the advising team. 

    Highly recommend!

    Hough quality bootcamp, with excellent support

    Springboard offers an incredible experience. The curriculum was amazing. The curriculum for their course was designed by Colt Steele who is a veteran teacher. He is masterful at what he does and I hardly ever needed to go back to understand a concept being explained. He is a very good teacher and he is quite adept at making the curriculum fun (as much as it could be) which is something I realized is actually essential for people who are self learning. It makes sit a lot easier to get thr...

    Great curriculum, even better support! Springboard UX Career Track 2023

    As a full-time working gal, I will say it was quite a balancing game which ended up making the 6-9 month course take me like 12 months. 
    As someone with content, design, and marketing experience this course was just enough to challenge me and give me enough information to feel confident in obtaining a new skill.

    Powerful Curriculum, Amazing Mentors.

    The curriculum is perfect with bite sized videos and challenging (in a good way) assignments that build off each other. My mentor was compassionate and knew just how much to push me for me to see my own potential. Absolutely amazing course. The price is fair for the quality of education and support that is received.

    Good Curriculum

    The course provided valuable projects and insightful career guidance, but to truly internalize the knowledge, you've got to take the initiative. Going that extra mile is key, especially considering the limited mentorship and instruction compared to a traditional academic setup.

    Great Experience with Springboard

    After considering a career change for some time, I took the jump and invested in Springboard's UI/UX Design Career track. I chose to enroll in a bootcamp because I kept trying to teach myself principles of UX/UI, but with my intense work hours, it often fell to the wayside. I am grateful for my education through Springboard because the structure and accountability ensured that I was able to completed all of the projects, including the course itself. I was paired with a mentor who was enc...
