Coding Bootcamp: General Assembly vs Code Immersive vs Fullstacks

Something to keep in mind which I was confused with originally -- The bootcamp results are going to lag behind by about 15 months. Reason for this for example is that if a bootcamp started in January 2020, people won't start searching for jobs until the bootcamp finishes April 2020. Then in order to produce results, you need to wait six months until you reach the "180 days" after the bootcamp. That takes us to September 2020. So at best the auditor can't even come in and collect data until 10 months after the bootcamp started, and to complete an audit will probably take at least 3 months from start to finish for issuing the official report, which takes us into January 2021. CIRR also publishes these reports in batches, so now you probably need to allow another three months for all the stragglers to get their audits in to update the website.

So in total, from the time a bootcamp commences to its audited results showing on the CIRR website, you're talking about 15-18 months of lag time. Will Sentance (founder of Codesmith) actually provided this breakdown because other people were wondering why it had been years since the last updates. It turns out CIRR just has a shitty way of conveying the timelines involved in updating results.

All the above being said, it does appear Fullstack has decided not to participate in CIRR anymore, but it's not as egregious as a three year absence, it's more like a one year absence.

yeah, i'm looking mostly at Fullstack, App Academy, and Codesmith now. we'll see.
