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 Money-Back Guarantee.
Springboard’s support does not end when students graduate.

I liked the way the program was set. As you go through the course, you learned the basic essentials and were encouraged to learn new topics, such as NoSQL. Also, I liked how the capstones really made you think like a real developer. Plus, the support from the Career Services was really nice. If there was one thing I could change, it would be the depth of the basics about HTML and CSS taught during the first few lectures of the bootcamp.- Kaitlyn SiricoSearching • Graduate • Data Analytics Career Track • OnlineSep 27, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Not worth the money
I decided to go with springboard because of the job guarantee, but it's a joke. They extended me 3 months for the job market and then 3 months for not living in a metro area, but when I pointed out that I do they back pedaled and said I would have gotten a 6 month extension for the job market so it evens out. Most of the course is taken from other places like data camp and linkedin learning. You can find all the information on your own for much cheaper. - Jomkit JujaroenSoftware Engineer • Graduate • Software Engineering Career Track • OnlineSep 26, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Good for self-directed students
Just recently graduated, I think the curriculum was pretty good. I learned a lot of useful skills, concepts, and disciplines from working through the course-work, working with my industry expert mentors, and filling in the gaps here and there when needed. Admittedly there are a few moments where the coursework doesn't cover something that seems like it would be important, or there are sections in the curriculum that are still noticeably undergoing updates, but I think that's unavoidable ...Just recently graduated, I think the curriculum was pretty good. I learned a lot of useful skills, concepts, and disciplines from working through the course-work, working with my industry expert mentors, and filling in the gaps here and there when needed. Admittedly there are a few moments where the coursework doesn't cover something that seems like it would be important, or there are sections in the curriculum that are still noticeably undergoing updates, but I think that's unavoidable when you're teaching technology and skills that are constantly evolving.
All that being said, my main gripe with the bootcamp is how independent the coursework was. There is an unfortunate lack of group work. A group project would be very a good experience and achievement for students' portfolios. This isn't as big of an issue if you're determined and have good self-discipline, ultimately skills that are important to pick up if you're going to be software engineer.
Another issue I had was that I switched coding mentors about three times. The first one I really liked but he had a falling out with the school and mentor program. The second mentor I had was well-meaning, but ultimately not a great fit for me, and due to personal reasons had to stop mentoring abruptly. My third mentor has been the best by far though. I wish there was some sort of trial period for mentors at the beginning of the bootcamp where you could switch around mentors, like how you're able to try out different career coaches.
So if you're looking at Springboard for your next programming bootcamp, know that all the resources and job guarantee are just that, resources. It's up to you to make the most of it, so ask any and all questions as soon as possible. You get industry experts for mentors, both technical and career. They signed up for the job, so ask them as many questions as you can. - Jessica Glass FritzGraduate • Data Science Career Track • OnlineSep 26, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great experience
This was a great way for me to continue my learning for my career while still allowing me flexibility for my job and family. The mentor was great to stay on track as well as answering my questions or concerns in a judge free way. The multiple tools and applications used made it really easy to learn the material. They also set me up for continued growth in the future. - Marzieh RastiGraduate • Data Science Career Track • OnlineSep 25, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Great course for Non-Procrastinators
Springboard's UX design bootcamp was great, except for some hiccups. The mentors aren't all great and it's up to you to make a connection with them, so I would suggest requesting different ones if you don't feel it's a good match. You're kind of alone in this course and the Slack channel is kind of random and includes people from so many different cohorts, so it's not very organized and people just promote their projects.

You're kind of alone in this course and the Slack channel is kind of random and includes people from so many different cohorts, so it's not very organized and people just promote their projects. You should of course use it to get people to test your own capstone projects though! The student advisors aren't helpful unless you ask for help. If you are a procrastinator like me and require some accountability and goal setting, ask to be set up with a springboard advisor to give u a weekly call! The job guarantee is only for people who have prior job or ux design experience really, so if you don't get it, it doesn't feel like you are truly cared about or helped - maybe also because so many of the units are therefore optional. For example, all the career units will be optional if you are not eligible for the job guarantee. - Chris KurosawaGraduate • UI / UX Design Career Track • OnlineSep 21, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Springboard has been a great bootcamp overall in my experience. As an individual who was working full-time and finishing assignments, projects, etc., I loved the admin and support's flexibility in helping me achieve my goals. I had a great mentor who provided invaluable feedback and guidance on getting me closer to finishing this curriculum. I found the workload, networking, and endeavor to be worthwhile because for me it meant something, not just completing a bootcamp.
While this bootcamp provided great coursework, a structured plan on how to teach the student what is needed of an engineer from A to Z, and a supportive community of co-students and alumni, it's important to note that working through all of this doesn't mean that you're guaranteed a job at your front door. Like any other tech bootcamp, choosing to dive into such a journey requires that you be prepared and fully committed, considering your professional and personal lifestyle, how this will fit into your schedule, and ultimately what it will mean for you to achieve completion. In other words, you'll get the most value out of this if you're really set on achieving a career and being inspired and motivated by your personal reasons. Only you can make this work for you - the bootcamp is there to help launch you at the right trajectory.
Additional feedback: I'd say that while the admin and support team have been great, there were times when confusing answers were given if I needed help with something (outside the coursework). I also never got to communicate with my original advisor after a few instances, but the advising team still helped. Some improvements in communication and providing accurate details of Springboard's policies would be great for future students.
That and everything else being said, I had a great time as a student here. I found lots of great value in the lessons taught and their guidance on how an engineer should think and operate, networking advice, community support, and much more! Currently ready to embark on a new career, I hope learning with Springboard will be worth something to you! - Casey PatelGraduate • Data Science Career Track • OnlineSep 05, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

This hands-on experience is exactly what employers seek when hiring.
The course was quite challenging for me as I had to balance my current job and relationship while working through the curriculum. Fortunately, Springboard provides tools that help you stay on track to graduate. The most difficult aspect for me was mastering the research methods, which involved extensive reading and writing. However, the design portion was easier due to my background in graphic design. The only criticism I have is some article Springboard provide are either 404'd or behind paywall. On the plus side, you have a mentor who meets with you weekly to answer questions and review your assignments.
Springboard UX Design Track bootcamp does requires time and commitment. It's ideal for those who are genuinely committed to becoming UX designers, enjoy taking on challenges, and excel in problem-solving environments. - Caleb MacLeanGraduate • Software Engineering Career Track • OnlineAug 21, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
