Viking Code School is closed
This school is now closed. Although Viking Code School is no longer accepting students or running its program, you can still see historical information and Viking Code School alumni reviews on the school page.
Viking Code School offers a full-time, 12-week full-stack JavaScript online program, and a part-time Flex Program teaching full-stack JavaScript or Ruby on Rails. Viking Code School trains novice-to-intermediate programmers to become full-stack developers. The Immersive Program is a 12-week online program that helps serious students become full-stack JavaScript web developers. These cohorts are limited to carefully selected students who work together throughout the program to solve challenges and build projects. Students learn using a combination of live instruction, one-on-one help, pair programming, tutorials, lessons, projects, and code reviews. In the part-time Flex Program, students choose from three support tiers which include live, instructor-led office hours, Q&A support, a private student community, and optional mentor sessions. Students learn on a self-paced schedule from tutorials, lessons, assignments, major projects, and with the opportunity for pair programming with fellow students.
Viking Code School aims to provide the support of an in-person class with the flexibility of learning from home. While students don't need previous programming experience, applicants should be highly motivated, capable of learning quickly and should communicate well. Viking Code School is incentivized to get students software engineering jobs- if graduates do not get a job within 6 months, the Immersive Program tuition is completely free, and the Flex Program Guaranteed Tier offers a full refund.
Since they were aquired by Thinkful, the flex program is too expensive! It used to be a fair amount but $1500 a month!? How can I afford that living where I live. It's out of my reach now. Greedy.
So I had a skype call with Eric, and to be honest he is a nice enough guy, intelligent, and knows what he's doing.
However what I didn't like about him was the bait and switch tactics.
VCS is heavily promoted as being "tuition-deferred"...in fact they show up at the top of almost all the searches.
However during the call, he was heavily pressuring me into taking the "non-deferred" option...which is USD 13,800 paid upfront.
I was shocked by this as NO...

I was shocked by this as NOWHERE ON HIS WEBSITE DOES IT EVEN SAY THAT THIS IS AN OPTION.
Just another example of people trying to take advantage of students and education.
