I took a one day course to get a review, which wasn't that great. A few students left before the class ended with hours to spare. I think the guy was very knowledgeable about Analytics but couldn't teach worth a dime.
I looked into their digi marketing program and was considering that but declinced to move forward after speaking to a couple of reps. The first was very wishy-washy in her statements and contradictory. I spoke to another rep upon request. She...

I looked into their digi marketing program and was considering that but declinced to move forward after speaking to a couple of reps. The first was very wishy-washy in her statements and contradictory. I spoke to another rep upon request. She was better, but I could tell a lot of her answers seemed made up on the spot. I'm comparing this program to other programs and continuing to look. Here are some things that should be readily available for prospective students:
-feedback from random graduates who can be emailed.
-success rate of students who intended to find work afterwards and actually got placed, inclusive of data on part timers, contract, and full-time.
After checking out the digital marketing teacher and not being very impressed (no website and almost zilch on social media presence), I realized that it was initially supposed to be a female teacher. Now it's been switched to a male teacher who was probably brought in the last minute, which would explain why he didn't have much of an online presence. Not very appealing when the subject to be taught includes social media. FYI, I've read quite a bit on these start-up bootcamps (very low barrier to entry) and the digital marketing programs seemed to be treated as an afterthought, including the amount of teaching practice, or lack thereof, that these instructors have. Not to mention that the founders have no background in education as a past interest or career. It seems I'll have to patchwork the coursework I need from different places. I'm looking at Stanford, Duke, Berkeley, and MarketMotive next. Here's something to read on: http://www.fastcompany.com/3023456/become-an-ios-developer-in-8-weeks-the-truth-about-hack-schools
