And when do you look at quality directly (from the outside, as an applicant), given the way some programs misleadingly report their placement numbers?

- barry-cotter 7y agoYou look at audited placement numbers, consistently measured across multiple boot camps. https://cirr.org/ https://cirr.org/ > CIRR standards are transparent. We've fixed the problem of schools manipulating or hiding their outcome data, by requiring that for CIRR members, the outcomes of every enrolled student must be reported in a single, simple, clear report. How many graduated on time? How many accepted a full-time job in the field for which they trained within six months? How many secured part-time jobs? Did the school itself hire any graduates? How many students jobs are in fields outside of what they studied for? What are the salaries of grads who started jobs in their field of study? In addition, schools must annually have their numbers – and the records they keep to prove them – verified by an independent auditor.
