Could you comment a bit more about Trilogy? From what I understand, they provide a bootcamp as a service to be offered by other institutions, such as universities around the world.

Do you have any personal experience of their deception or lack of quality?

I was a student at Trilogy. Not sure what they mean. The course was fun. The good students leveled up in their careers. I certainly did.

Would you be willing to speak a bit more about your experience there? I work on non-profit tech education, and am curious about effective/successful bootcamps. (My email is in my profile.)

Agreed hopefully we get a response. I was an instructor for Trilogy, didn't really see any 'deceptive practices' in my couple years there.

For many bootcamps, the deception is in the marketing about job and salary prospects, as well as padding the hiring statistics by giving jobs to graduates and counting those jobs towards those marketing numbers.
