Lambda School shakes off its brand with new name
- thesausageking 5y agoBloom Institute of Technology is a pretty cool name. I'm disappointed they're not referring to themselves as BIT.
- wdb 5y agoSounds like they want to sound more 'worthy' be calling themselves an institute. > A student is only eligible for the refund if they apply to 10 jobs, network with 10 professionals and post at least 5 GitHub contributions to their public GitHub profile per week, for 46 of the 52 weeks within a year. Does this mean you need to apply for 10 jobs, network with 10 professional per week or is it only for the GitHub contributions? Also do they really charge $30k for an online course?
- rvz 5y ago> The financing instrument allows students to take a loan with zero dollars upfront, and then get 110% of their tuition refunded, including fees and interest from an approved lender, if they are unable to secure a job within the next year. Ok. There is always a 'catch' which is: 'A student is only eligible for the refund if they apply to 10 jobs, network with 10 professionals and post at least 5 GitHub contributions to their public GitHub profile per week, for 46 of the 52 weeks within a year.' Translation: We will make sure that you are not getting a refund.
- thesausageking 5y agoYes. It's hard to read these changes (along with the prior layoffs) as anything other than their business model wasn't working at all and they've had to change to being a regular code bootcamp.
