Frequently Asked Questions

How is Bootcamp ROI calculated?

Bootcamp ROI is calculated by dividing the expected annual salary increase (Post-Bootcamp Salary minus Pre-Bootcamp Salary) by the total investment. The total investment includes the upfront tuition cost plus the opportunity cost of lost wages during your job hunt.

What is a good payback period for a tech bootcamp?

Typically, a payback period under 12 to 18 months is considered excellent. Many graduates paying $15,000 for a tuition course and landing an $80,000 job pay back their entire investment within 6 to 9 months of starting their new role.
