How far along are you? One of my questions I haven't got answers to is how many people graduate and I think you should come back when you do and can more appropriate bring others into the program, rather than based on your first few weeks.
I'm not criticizing them here, just that without knowing the graduating rates there is logical hole in the effectiveness.
Springboard, BloomTech, and other self paced programs gave much lower graduation rates than full time bootcamps according to their outcomes data on their website that's available now.
So I would suspect TripleTen also has a fairly low graduation rate.
The reason this is important is if it's really really low then they have an incentive to make your experience the best possible until you pass financial milestones where you can't get a refund anymore and then if you ghost or disappear, or just never end up graduating, you'll pay most of all of the tuition but won't show up in their outcomes reports (because their outcomes only include graduates)... and business model wise, they wouldn't care (other than complaints and bad reviews would maybe deter people from joining). Again, not making any conclusions either way, just pointing and explaining a logical argument that can be a problem from an outsider based on lack of data.
I also appreciate that the graduation rate of a self paced program can be very hard to figure out because people could continue forever and take years to graduate. BloomTech has a way of dealing with it that is far from perfect but at least explains how they do it.
