Great questions! I’ll go through them one by one: 1. You are correct to say that our pricing reflects the European market and is naturally different from schools in other markets. In addition to that, we are a self-paced school and have no actual classes happening (work-like learning). Our students get projects via our platform, attend daily standups and receive (from mentors & peers) & do (to peers) code reviews. This means we have no full-time teaching staff, and that’s a huge cost-saver. Instead, we spend more effort on our underlying tech & mentors, which results in a lower variable cost per student. Important to note that even though there are no classes, our students still receive a lot of contact hours with industry experts through code reviews, help sessions, standups, etc. These hours are focused on helping our students (2-way), not teaching them (1-way) - just like you would have it in any workplace. 2. We don’t have plans to resell ISAs. We see ways to be a successful school without taking this path. 3. We believe in being focused, and Data Science[1] will continue to be our main focus. We do not plan to start any courses in other fields. 4. Our mentors (Senior Team Leads) team is hired by Turing College and is paid by the hour. We do have agreements with each of them about their weekly involvement and each of them is managing their time themselves. Because of our education model, STLs don’t have to always be available at specific hours. They mark themselves available at specific hours and we have ways to assure consistent availability coverage for help & code reviews. Because of this, our students can get code reviews any time of the week, including weekends. As for students who require more attention, that’s completely fine, and they receive help from our staff, mentors, and other peers.
