Made the mistake of suggesting a bootcamp to an unemployed relative. She passed the initial screening/interview stage but really seemed to be struggling with the prerequisite material. The bootcamp didn't seem to care and kept trying to pressure her into signing the ISA. She probably wouldn't have been able to complete a basic beginner MOOC much less an intensive 8+ hour a day bootcamp. I eventually talked her out of moving forward but it was not encouraging to see how aggressive the bootcamp wanted to admit a clearly under qualified student.
- gowld 7y agoWhat's was in that particular ISA? What would it cost if she got a non-bootcamp-boosted job?
- southphillyman 7y agoIt was Lambda School, so whatever their terms are.
- austenallred 7y agoThat’s exactly why Lambda School starts with the precourse work. It’s not a fit for everyone, and the 40+ hours of precourse work helps us discover who that’s true for.
