Learn to code on a part-time schedule

Full-time programs don’t work for everyone. That’s why we designed our Part-Time Course to give you the same outcome as our full-time programs, but on a more flexible schedule. Plus, we’re one of the only coding bootcamps to offer an ISA (Income Share Agreement) with our part-time program. That means we don’t charge you tuition until after you’ve landed a job earning at least $50,000. It’s a win-win.

We want you to focus on becoming an engineer, not tuition

Our ISA model has helped thousands of people like you access the best online bootcamp and aligns our success with yours

Why go to an ISA school?

A school using the Income Share Agreement (ISA) model only earns tuition after you get a job, and in that case, as a percentage of your salary. Structuring App Academy around your successful career change (and making our very survival dependent on it) drives every decision we make in designing and operating our school.

How much is tuition with the ISA?

We charge a $3,000 refundable deposit and zero tuition until you are making at least $50,000.

Zero Deposit Offer:
For a limited time, all first time enrollees in our Part Time September and October 2022 cohorts are offered the option of a $0 deposit. Please reach out to admissions@appacademy.io with any questions.

Does it work?

Yes. Since 2013, we’ve graduated over 3,000 students through our programs using an ISA model.
