Dive Insight:
Prospective students must qualify for the full online program by completing an initial Web Fundamentals track. Once they make it into the program, they can move as quickly or as slowly through the content as necessary, paying $1,000 per month. If they spend 20 hours per week on the courses, it will cost an estimated $7,000 to $10,000 dollars for the entire program.
Coding bootcamps offer adults a path to a career change and have received the support of the White House in helping people retrain to fill the current economy's skills gap.
