Application review

Why we review.

Every applicant submits a short form: your background, why now, what you've shipped. Review takes 1-3 business days and is honest — if a cohort isn't the right fit (you're earlier than mid-career, you need a fundamentals course first, you'd benefit from self-paced over live), we say so.

About 70% of applicants are accepted. Of the 30% turned away, most are referred to specific resources or invited to apply again after a fundamentals course.

Tuition + payment

$1,200 all-in.

Includes: 64 hours of live instruction (8 weeks × 2 sessions/wk × ~4 hrs each), capstone graded by the instructor, lifetime access to the cohort recordings + Slack alumni community, and the career-transition module + alumni job referrals.

Payment plans available — 3 monthly installments at $400/mo, no interest. Income-share or employer reimbursement: documentation provided on request.

Self-paced has the same modules and lifetime access — upgrade to a future cohort any time.
