3K for HTML course is nonsense. Let me rephrase. 3K for an HTML course when you have never done anything with HTML is nonsense. 3K could be a steal depending on where you are at. Your sister hasn't done anything yet so just taking a 3K HTML course is almost the same as burning 3K cash.
The issue with most people wanting to get into "IT" is that they think that taking a course or even a bootcamp will help them get a six figure job. It can happen for some but the reality is that you need to start on your own on the side, learn the basics, do a project and go from there.
If she truly wants to get into IT, my first question would be "What are you willing to sacrifice and do about it" ? We can point to many free resources to get a start including freecodecamp or even w3schools but she has to be willing to put the work in first.
If she truly is tenacious and has a great WHY for getting into IT, then tell her to go to https://freecodecamp.org https://freecodecamp.org and get started on her own for free and learn to do a project. If she likes it enough, ask for more help and it all gets easy every day from there on.
Just wanted to give it straight to you and I hope it helps.

And while my sister did not explicitly state it, I worry that she may be blinded by dollar signs without consideration of the work it actually takes to get to that point. Lets see what comes of it.
