Chatted with the first three Lambda School students hired today to ask if we could share their stories, and ended up doing some quick math: Their collective incomes increased by $183,150/yr after Lambda School (a $61,050 increase on average). All three are minorities.

17% of your income for 2 years, to pay off a 6 month non accredited course. You’re having a laugh mate. That’s daylight robbery.

Capped at $30k, you only pay if you get a job. Yeah that's kind of the opposite of robbery.

In that case: $30k for a 6 month non accredited course. You’re having a laugh mate. That’s daylight robbery. You can get an accredited certificate from Harvard for a third of that price.

No one cares about accredited certificates. They care about jobs. That’s what we provide, guaranteed.

I don't think Luke understands just how impactful a program like LambdaSchool is

I do know that non-accredited certifications have very little value to employers. Why pay $30k for something that has the same value as a free online course.

No one cares about certifications, they care about skills. Our courses are live and interactive with world class instructors, full time for 6+ months. Our students tell us all the time they learn more in one month with us than a year of self learning.

You seem hung up on the accreditation aspect. Let me repeat that no one cares about whether your certificate is accrrrdited. They care about whether or not you can code.
