Can you clarify if you are saying H2 2022 outcomes did not tank from H1 2022 outcomes? Because Codesmith published an official H1 2022 CIRR report and a FY 2022 CIRR reports it's simple math to deduce the H2 2022 outcomes and they decreased no? Are you saying I'm wrong and need

I see 78.6% placed in 180 days in H1 2022 (301 grads) and 70.1% in FY 2022 (732 graduates). So that means that about a 62% placement rate in H2 2022. 79% -> 62% is a tanking placement rate. And that was a relatively better 2022 grads. Anecdotally and based on numbers I can find - which are not official and not necessarily accurate, show 2023 grads 180 day placements with something below 50%. And since this number should have been known internally since June 2024 (with at least an estimate) they are free to clear this up for the record. Even if they don't have all the data in yet because they are delayed, if they even have 50% in 180 days already they can let us know that. I really won't listen to any marketing spins on this that make it sound good and anyone trying to do that needs an integrity check. Codesmith can go to town saying how they are doing better than OTHER BOOTCAMPS but any argument that the outcomes are objectively good as misleading. Being the best of bad options doesn't make it a good option.
