Making high-quality, affordable education accessible in a flexible, mentor-led format is our primary mission at Springboard. That’s why we’re excited to share that Springboard has been named to SwitchUp’s 2019 lists of the world’s best online bootcamps, the best web design bootcamps, and the best data science bootcamps, a distinction we’ve received for three consecutive years.
The SwitchUp team looked at price, job support, student and alumni reviews, curriculum and instructor quality, and more to make their final ranking.
Springboard’s courses were singled out in part for their mentorship component, with SwitchUp noting, “Every week students get a half hour session with their mentor to talk about their development, making this a very intimate program.”
Beyond mentorship, Springboard’s self-paced UX design course boasts access to an active, global community of students and alumni who help learners as they master UX fundamentals and work on real-life, portfolio-ready projects.
In our Data Science Career Track, students focus on the entire data science process, from statistics and data wrangling to advanced topics like machine learning and data storytelling, with guidance from their mentors. As the name suggests, career coaching is built into the curriculum; graduates leave with an interview-ready portfolio and an extensive network of data scientists.
The Data Science Career Track also comes with a job guarantee—students receive a full refund if they don’t get a job within six months of completing the course. And going back to our mission to make education available to as many people as possible, we offer a deferred tuition option, because finances shouldn’t get in the way of a person’s educational goals.
