The craziest part of all is that some get jobs. Poor hiring companies. Poor senior developers responsible for training these juniors that know next to nothing. It’s a scam.
It’s the same in the US, but the accreditation rules are pretty insane so a lot of great courses don’t qualify
-
-
What happens when they don't qualify?
-
They never attempt to become accredited
-
And people apply to these degrees? How is their worth validated?
-
Degrees are generally accredited, non-accredited programs are just judged by results in getting hired
-
Got it. But the metric is getting hired and not the quality of the skills learned? What is the average age of these non accredited programs? I would presume most run for a few years while the curriculum is in high demand?
-
There are dozens of “accrediting” bodies so it depends on what that means. “Regional” accreditation which is recognized by the US Gov is only for four year programs, the universities you’d think of. Everything else is just kind of... if people want to attend

Thanks for taking the time to discuss these topics. For these Bootcamps, what advice would you give to someone looking for code training to avoid falling for a scam? Assuming they dont know how to distinguish the different programs or the expertise or the instructors.

I don’t know a good answer to that. You can check http://cirr.org for hiring data but that’s about as good as it gets.
