Just don't bother. They give up on their students very quickly, if you have family emergencies come up? and need quite a bit of extra time off to handle them, and then request to start back a few months later, they'll tell you it's against their policy, and still hold you to the ISA agreement. Their student success team also never responds to students, or if they do, it'll be weeks later and just be two-four sentences in length, usually never answering the question that you actually asked. The CEO is full of crap and lies constantly in order to get his way, he's just a manipulator. This school IS NOT WORTH IT, take it from someone who went through the program, and who was a TL for them for a year before they got rid of it. It's absolutely not worth it. If you plan on using an ISA, look somewhere else, do not bother with Lambda. They are a failing bootcamp, they average like 2000 students currently right now, two years ago that number was probably close to double. They don't hold anyone accountable, don't waste your time and money here. I've seen them do too many people dirty.

I started Lambda School in November 2020. This was right after they made the change to their Full Stack Web Development (FT) program from 9 months to 6 months. This school is designed to help you succeed. They genuinely care about your career success, and about your learning. They throw many different resources out at you to use, and lots of 'safety nets' if you don't get a concept the first time around. All of that said, you are still very much in charge of your learning, and if you want to succeed, you really need to put in the time that they expect you to. The full-time track is a FULL-TIME JOB! It should be treated as such if you want to succeed with Lambda School. Lambda school is very fast-paced and intense, but I've seen firsthand that people from very different career and personal backgrounds have found success with this program if they had put in the work. I've also seen the inverse, where people really dislike this program, yet they also just didn't put in as much work as some others! I have personally found nothing but an insurmountable amount of support and pointers for success in this school. The projects you get involved in prepare you for greatness and equip you with real-world experience that you can speak on in interviews. A Bootcamp/trade school can never be perfect and teach you everything you will need to know in your career, but I'd say Lambda School does an incredible job getting you to the correct point to begin your career, not stopping short at all.
