Hi All,

I am one of the founders at Coding House. Let me provide some insight on the post from last year.

1) 50% of the the post is true and my fault

2) 50% is untrue and students fault

3) It was our very first cohort and we had a lot to learn about what worked and did not work

4) The student has been refunded

5) We wanted to make it like a real boot camp and that was to hard on some of the students

6) We have fantastic instructors you can find there bio's on our site

7) We have change our policies to insure it dose not happen again

8) Look up all the reviews of Coding House and you will find we have great outcomes and satisfied students

Don't list those companies as "partners" if they just allowed you to tour their offices one day, unless your intent is to receive a C&D from Google.

(Comment does not apply if English is your second language.)

Your spelling, grammar, and punctuation are terrible considering this thread will probably end your viability as a business.

> 50% is untrue and students fault

This statement does little to make me feel any better about Coding House.

Should be more like "We take 100% responsibility for the issues and plan to do something about it."
Re:About Coding House (2014) by cansync1 on Tuesday May 05, 2015 @04:30PM (#9494771)
Fair enough.

We take 100% responsibility for taking a student in our first cohort over 1 year ago; who was not prepared, did not do the work in or after the program.

We have learned from our mistake.

We now have extensive per work, coding challenges (gates on all phases) and accept only 3.16% of the students that apply.

That's like a little kid who, when told to make an apology, says "I'm sorry you're so ugly."

Wow, I think that response was even worse. Blaming the student even more.

PS: Hi Josh!

That is perhaps the most passive aggressive "apology" I've ever seen.
Re:About Coding House (2014) by brookside on Tuesday May 05, 2015 @06:35PM (#9495437)
The first rule of apologies is it's only ok to apologize for your own actions, not the behavior or feelings of others.

Why not round it down to an even 3.14% and keep it at Pi?

After reading your responses on this thread, I just hope your bootcamp does not teach PR disaster prevention. Or, uh, grammar.

Why do you and other coding bootcamps pretend to be anything else than intensive web development courses?

Another coding bootcamp called "Hack Reactor" is claiming to be "The CS degree for the 21st century" on the front page and on another page they write "Become a Software Engineer".

Because that's how they justify the prices they are charging?

In each case, which 50% do you see in that category, and what have you done/are you doing about the first 50%.

Dude, just stop. You're only making yourself look worse.
