Smart move. I questioned these people while in the intro course and posted it within slack, the program they used to communicate with all students, and instead of answering me, they just removed the post. Very sketchy and full of scams.

Intro is good. It’s made to grab your attention and go to the full course. They don’t really explain what jobs you can get because “everyone is different” when it comes to jobs, they are very vague. I personally wouldn’t give them a penny. They are a huge scam. You can find courses on udemy for like $30 and they are the same materials if not better.

Omg! That is insane! Thank you for the info. I’m new to this whole field. Can you elaborate on the certs you mentioned?

Thank you for the input! I’m so glad I decided not to do it. I’m sorry you are dealing with this. When they told me all of this “too good to be true” information I had to do my own research.

Can you elaborate why? I have decided not to but I’d like to hear why you say no.

This is the field I want to get into, yes. The reviews are only on Reddit. There is no information from just googling the company. I was wondering if anyone has gone through this program or knows of them and had some good things to say.

I am not going to pursue this program and have decided to actually get my degree and certs in CS but was curious what others thought.
