The Data Analytics Career Track is advertised as enrolling in the October 2026 archived capture of its course page; the Data Engineering Career Track no longer appears in Springboard's course navigation and its page was last captured live on 2025-09-25. source
Springboard's data offering is now a six-month, self-paced analytics track with a mentor, a career coach and a conditional money-back guarantee; its data engineering track is gone. It suits working adults who want Excel, SQL, Tableau and Python with accountability rather than deep engineering. Before paying, get the full guarantee terms and the current tuition in writing, since neither is readable on the public page.

Interview-prep depth
1 / 5
Sample units on the course page are Foundations, Excel, Data Viz, AI for Data Pros, Python and capstones; career coaching is described but no interview hours are published.
Job support: structured. Mentor calls, a career coach and 1:1 coaching are part of the track; Course Report's profile mentions interview prep and salary negotiation for graduates. No DS&A or system design content; this is an analytics track.
Whatever the program covers, the interview itself is free to prepare for here: coding patterns, system design, practice prompts, company guides.
What a careful reader should know
Springboard's Data Engineering Career Track was marketed through 2025 with a Washington University in St. Louis McKelvey School of Engineering certificate of completion and now appears only in historical Course Report reviews, not in current course listings. A 2025 Course Report review complains that some course materials are up to 10 years old. The company also sells healthcare technician programs under the same brand. The Data Analytics track rating on Course Report is 4.7 from 243 reviews.
Third-party signals: Course Report 4.6 (1767 reviews). Graduation-time star ratings are collected by the schools; weigh them accordingly.
