I have a friend going through a boot camp, and the financing was eye opening. They are indeed expensive, but consider: what if an applicant does not have the credit history or collateral to get a student loan?

This is a pretty common situation for people looking to pick up a trade skill to get out of the unskilled labor market, or for people looking to transition into a more desirable field of work.

Lambda School doesn’t currently look at credit history or require collateral.

Neither do traditional Federal student loans.

Yup! The point is most private loans do

90% of student loan disbursements are Federal, so for the vast majority of people that's not really a relevant concern.

Last time I checked federal student loans do not require a credit check, collateral, or co-signer.
