All Springboard courses are 100% online, remote, and self-paced throughout an average of 6-9 months.

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.

    Great Online Experiece

    Overall Springboard was a great experience. I love how you get to go at your own pace and there is so much help available when you need it. You get a certain number of on demand mentor calls and I didn't even use half of them because there was so much support available in the springboard community. They teach you primarily web development. Its very hands on so you'll be building a lot from scratch. Personally, I also wish there were more topics on theory and data structures/algorithms. O...

    Data analytics bootcamp review

    Course was good in prepping for career in analytics with good beginning  knowledge of sql and python. Also covered tableau and powerBI for data visualization. The intro materials were very basic and not needed if already have a business degree. Overall recommend this course for mentor support- you’re able to build a good relationship with someone who has amazing experience in analytics!

    Accelerated learning

    I enrolled in the Springboard Cybersecurity bootcamp. Its a great course for those with either a lot of time or some technical experience. I STRONGLY suggest doing a free months of self study or a free online beginners course such as Udemy or Coursera. This bootcamp is a no joke program and not for the faint of heart. You really do have to set your mind and schedule to invest 20-25 hours a week. I really enjoyed the labs and the projects which gave you real scenarios to deal with. You ge...

    Springboard Cybersecurity Program

    This school provides plenty of resources and frames their learning curriculum in a way where the knowledge stacks and is applicable for the next phase. The most impactful portion of this bootcamp are the provided VM labs, personal mentors, career coaches, and technical interview coaches. 

    There are some parts of the course where it feels too fast paced, but that's when you can reach out to your mentor to explain further in detail.

    UX/UI Bootcamp Review - great bootcamp for beginners

    I'd recommend Springboard because of its unwavering support throughout my journey. 

    I had zero experience in UX/UI design when first started, and almost a year later, I feel confident in having learned the fundamentals of great product design. My mentor, Daria, played a huge role in my growth as a designer and gave honest feedback on my portfolio. 

    They have career coaches that will give you great tips for networking and salary negotiation when it comes time to find a job. ...

    I have positive experience taking this course. I just completed it and have not found a job yet, but i have learn a lot. It took me a year to complete the program due to my schedule and personal matters. Springboard is very flexible and allowed me to take some breaks and extend the program so I could finish it. 

    I had a weekly call with a mentor that Springboard matched for me and she was amazing. She was the big part of me being able to complete the program. I am really grateful ...

    Challenging, rewarding, fulfilling

    I had a great time in the springboard program.  I came into it being a self-taught programmer that wanted a stronger foundation for my skills and a certification to open up career opportunities.  Springboard's software engineering  career track gave me projects and lessons that really taught me the fundamentals of software engineering pretty comprehensively.   The projects all built upon the lessons that came before, so while they were really challenging and great for my portfolio, I was...
