Springboard is an online learning platform that prepares students for the tech industry’s most in-demand careers with comprehensive, mentor-led online programs in software engineering, data science, UI/UX design, cybersecurity, tech sales, and more. 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 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.

    Data Science Career Track

    It was a correct decision to learn at the Data Science Career Track program at Springboard, as I finally started getting responses from employers.
    On one of the applications I was one step away from employment.
    This course helps boost your chances and compete with those who has formal specialized education, such as in computer science or data science.
    While a lack of formal experience through employment is still a problem, it is somewhat alleviated by the hands-on curriculum pro...

    Software Engineering Career Track

    Springboard's Software Engineering Career Track is built for people that want to switch their career path and become a software engineer. This 9-month course helps you develop skills (Python, JaveScript, etc.) necessary for looking for a job in the market. Definitely recommend it even though you are starting from scratch.

    Worth every minute of learning!

    The curriculum is excellently designed and does not require any programming or computer science experience for anyone to participate. I am a biologist and absolutely did not had any experience in data science. I took the Data Science prep course first, which taught me python programming in just 4 weeks. Then I enrolled on the Data Science Career Track. The course is expected to be completed in 6-9 months, so one has to be ready to invest at least 4 hours of time every day in learning. Th...

    Fine print in job guarantee

    I successfully completed springboard curriculum. It was lackluster and average as it was mostly based on other resources. Mentorship was the only worthy part of the program. Job search began where I always went above and beyond on the number of networking and jobs conditions. I also kept my own records for these applications and networks as well as log them in their own website. After 6 months, I opted for the job guarantee extension. I kept up my job guarantee. Then, couple of these to ...

    Outstanding Experience with Springboard

    I had an amazing experience with Springboard. I had excellent coaches and mentors who always supported me. I got so much in-depth knowledge about the targeted job industry from my mentor.  The only cons I found in 1-2 in-course activities, which are outdated and it would be great if they can upgrade.

    Great Experience and Job Offer

    I had a really great experience overall with all aspects of the course! 
    The mentors were all very genuine and helpful when talking about my interests and my goals and keeping my accountable with honest feedback. 
    The community was very friendly and welcoming and I loved meeting the friends throughout the course.
    I got a really great job offer before even finishing the bootcamp and I would recommend this to anyone looking to change their career!

    Predatory loan behavior - Coursework freely available online - Neurodivergents BEWARE

    I do not even know where to begin with my Springboard experience. I did the UX/UI career track, and I recommend going somewhere else. If I had been able to back out after that 7 day trial period without wreaking financial havoc on myself, I would have. 7 days is not NEARLY enough to see what the course will actually be like. They front-load the curriculum with SB-produced video lessons to reel you in, and after about a month you realise that's not reality.

    Acceptable Coursework, Good Career Coaching, Great Alumni Network

    I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering and 2 years of experience working as an engineer. I pursued this course full time, working approximately 30-50 hours a week towards it. I was able to complete the course with Advanced ML Specialization in 5 months. I now have a job as a Machine Learning Engineer, with a base salary that is 23% higher than my previous salary.

    Incredible Experience

    Before choosing Springboard I researched probably over 40 bootcamps. I ended up choosing them because they offered a job guarantee, taught a well rounded, modern full stack developer course, and because they did not offer income share agreements but instead a flat tuition fee. I went at a slightly slower pace than recommended and ended up using some free extension but completed the course nonetheless and received 2 job offers 6 weeks after finishing. The program was adjusted while I was ...
