Please do not spend or loan $14k in hope of getting a dream job. Me and my husband spent and really regret it now. HR is really hopeless and you are all by yourself once you dive in. My husband worked day and nite and went thru numerous interviews and is still jobless after 6 months. Having said that in IT industry only people with degrees are preferred. People who actually have talent are ignored purely because you don't have "degree". We have two small kids and this risk affected us badly financially. Many of his classmates are jobless too. It's very sad. Please please don't spend $14K. Go to YouTube and many other websites who teach courses for free or some petty fee BUT please do not spend money here.

I had an awesome immersive experience(web development). A lot of ups and downs but that is to be expected when you're doing a career change. Immersive (9am-5pm) and part time (usually evenings) courses available for 10-12 weeks. Instructors are very knowledgeable and provide a great learning atmosphere. Free peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and coffee!

While this is a nice facility and instructor was fine, the content was not well organized or distributed. Materials were not sent in advance nor ever distributed in electronic or paper form - i.e. anything except the real time screen. The open source tool, distributed a day before the course, caused a Symantec error for me; I spent the first two hours downloading an alternative after I was offered a 'loaner' that didn't have battery or charger. No answer key was provided to the course exercises. This didn't bother me since the course was unfortunately too easy for me. It would have been nice if more of the course description let me know in advance so I could have self-selected into a more advanced course.
