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.
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.

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.
