Ya I agree it’s annoying. Will flag this with our marketing team.

We teach the MERN stack with some CS theory (basic data structures & algorithms). There’s also a heavy focus on building so your portfolio pieces will start with wireframes and end with deployment and code reviews.

Realistically, that’s looking like a 2019 goal but yes we’d love to offer that fincancial support. We currently offer partial scholarships to veterans for both products.

re: Thinkful, we have a rigorous, full-time program that matches your definition of "online classroom" as well as a flexible program for those who can only commit part-time. Both offer 1-on-1 mentorship, with stats available on CIRR.org.

OP - you're welcome to ping me (bhaumik@thinkful[dot]com) w/ any specific questions. I run the full-time product.

Thinkful pivoted from a subscription model to being a school focused on job placement a couple years back. Our core products are remote immersive & part-time courses in software development & data science. But tying back to the OP, the immersive program has a no tuition till you're hired financing option, (which a few other schools offer too). It's been pretty exciting hearing the joy from applicants who wouldn't have been able to afford the course w/ traditional financing options.
