Wow 6 core staff and 6 TAs for 30 people seems like a lot actually hahaha. Formation isn't a bootcamp so I won't try to explain our org chart, the majority of people are engineers, designers, PMs building the mentorship platform, and the next largest group is the Fellowship team that runs the flagship Fellowship we offer. I know Codesmith pretty well - before all the recent changes: a full Cohort is 36 students. There is: - 1 Lead Instructor - 1 Instructor - 1 Engineering Mentor - 1 Admissions Coordinator (before you start) + 1 Program Coordinator (after you start) + 1 Outcomes Coordinator (after you finish) - 2 to 5 fellows (TAs/former students on contract) Company wide staff involved partially: - 1 Head Instructor - 1 Director of Programs - 1 Program Manager - 1 Outcomes Manager - A number of on demand fellows who do things like resume review and code review So overall 4 dedicated staff + TAs for 36 people. I also know Rithm pretty well, for a full Cohort of 20 people: - 2 Lead Instructors (all have far more experience than the Head Instructor at Codesmith, so I would equate them ore to like the CEO of Codesmith) - 2 TAs Rithm is a lot smaller and simpler structure.

So I should add that when I attended, across 3 floors there were 4 cohorts - 2 web dev, 1 data science, 1 data analytics. So a couple of those core staff were focused on the student experience (eg. Talks, Career services), the rest were focused on sales/marketing/admissions I'd
