AppAcademy runs a cohort for 9 weeks of instruction time, then another 3~ish in the job search. They overlap them, so there's a bunch of experienced people to ask questions to. Really, the best part of overlapping like that is that you aren't just accessing what the last cohort experienced, but the distilled wisdom they got from the cohort beforehand. Having incoming members talk to existing ones is a very important part of maintaining and expanding institutional knowledge. It's especially important to foster communication in organizations with high churn rates.
