"The ones that claim they do"

Here is the catch: A lot of bootcamps advertise “100% job guarantees” and it would probably sound like music to your ears. But beneath the surface, you’ll find a bunch of conditions on the T&Cs that go with it.

For example, you’ll need to apply for loads of jobs, attend events and meet weekly targets in order to show that you’re job-hunting. If you can’t find a job within the time frame, you can get your tuition money back – only with the proof of the job-hunting stated above.

To avoid any kind of disappointment, we recommend doing intensive research and always reading the small print!

"100% Job Guarantees"

We believe in honesty and transparency at DigitalCourses. The last thing we want to do is throw around false promises and give you the idea that a job will land on your lap soon after you graduate.

But we must be realistic when it comes to the real world. Just like any other job, you must strive to find the career that you’re passionate about and you’ll definitely get there through hard work and dedication. There are a few things we can definitely guarantee through – your certification and the skills to go with it! Besides, who said you can’t freelance or launch your own app?

“We are a No.1 rated bootcamp”

We don’t measure our success with shiny awards, we like to chase student success. We want to see people improve their skills and push themselves to do better. During our course, we’ll be providing mentors so that students don’t feel too overwhelmed during their time on the bootcamp, along with an online community they can interact with.

At the end of the day, our mission is to teach one million people how to code in today’s digital world. To be able to share our skills, mentor people and change lives in any way, is our definition of success.

To see someone like you progress on this bootcamp and finally get that “lightbulb” moment when things start to click. That is much more valuable to us than anything else 🥰 .

“Qualify in just a few weeks”

Some bootcamps teach the art of coding in just 12 weeks, which is half the time we are offering in our 6-month program. But for some people, it might take longer. We find that with software engineering, it’s not something that you can just get the hang of in 3 months. Especially if you are learning how to code alongside a full-time job or parenthood.

We are all about quality learning and we want to give you a realistic time to get you to a decent level. For complete beginners who are learning about the world of coding, it may take more time than others. It’s important not to rush the process as there are many attributes and skills you can also learn – such as attention to detail, patience for solving complex programs, and communication skills. It’s best to give yourself the time to study at a Bootcamp that allows flexibility around your schedule too.

There’s a reason we have a supportive family at DigitalCourses. With the added support of your mentors, buddies, and coaches, it’s going to be worth it.

“You’ll Earn A 6-Figure Salary”

While it is possible to earn 6 figures in this industry, let us reiterate that it may take you a few years before you reach that pay range. Also, if it sounds too good to be true – it probably is, unfortunately. To earn that much money in just 6 months is definitely a dream we all want. But life doesn’t work that way and we don’t want to give you false promises and guarantees. However, who’s to say you won’t ever reach that point in a few years? You can! The tech industry is thriving and you can get yourself an amazing job that pays well.

Look into the hiring requirements in your chosen area and keep that information in mind when you join the Bootcamp. All it takes is for you to keep working your way up, upgrade your skills, think about how you want to plan your future and you can definitely get there.

Try focusing on your skills as a Junior developer as much as you can. And before you know it, you can earn a lot more with more experience. Grow your experience, specialize in something you’ve had your eye on, and then go from there. Just be realistic. (This is tough love, people! ❤️)

"100% Job Guarantees"

We see this promise often and many bootcamps give you the idea that you’ll find a job straight away. In these promises, there are unattainable conditions hidden in T&C’s which can make you lose out on the job guarantee. This includes applying for a number of jobs per week and some bootcamps even have a careers team that will check your progress for proof. Another condition is that you may have to live within a reasonable distance of a big city, which would inevitably force you to move away from home to find a job. Therefore, making life a little more challenging than it already is.

Coding bootcamps are pricey and having to juggle bootcamps with other commitments such as work and family life, along with moving, may not be possible for you.

Attending a gazillion networking events is also popular amongst most of the impossible conditions you’ll find, including “being proficient in English – written and verbal.” Ask yourself if you think you are eligible for this “job guarantee” if there are many conditions such as “age, degree, English skills, and the city you live in” to consider. You’d be surprised to find that there is a lot of hidden information in the T&Cs, so do read them carefully for your own benefit. We hate to break it to you and we know this is boring – but you’ve got to read the T&C’s!

There are no guarantees in life without a catch, so we won’t mislead you. Everyone’s journey will be different but we promise to be supportive every step of the way. ❤️
