Looks very similar to Holberton School - https://www.holbertonschool.com/ - launched 2 years ago, it's also 17% after students get a job. Their curriculum covers low-level programming, high-level programming and system engineering. They have a pretty good track record so far, students finding opportunities at NASA, LinkedIn, Apple, Dropbox, Docker.

Where are you getting that information? NASA is doing very little direct hiring right now, certainly not hiring software engineers without a bachelors degree. It's entirely possible to get hired as a contractor working at NASA, but that's really not the same thing.


Ya, holberton is solid. It would be difficult or impossible for most of our students to move to San Francisco unpaid for two years.


They get paid pretty fast though at Holberton, as they start their first internship after 6 months in.


Ya I've got nothing against Holberton, it's just not a model that works for the vast majority of our students.
