I think this is a good idea. The downside I see here (For me personally) is it is location prohibitive. I can see the value in spending $10k to get this education from some top people int he field, building a good network, and assistance landing a job. I don't think the cost is too high. I'd say most top performers could probably make there money back with a signing bonus if they job a good job offer.

Personally I'm looking for something like this. There are a million ways to learn to code online (without much risk) but there are very few good resources for learning performance marketing. My personal issue is I would not be able to spend 8 weeks away from my wife and kids while also coming up with the cash to feed, shelter, transport me around SF during the program.

I think the idea is solid though. I think the best non-traditional education programs out there need to offer job assistance in order to attract people. At least until there is a paradigm shift away from the high value on traditional education, no matter how useless it is.

Thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback. I appreciate it. About living in the Bay Area for 8 weeks, you might find the cost is not as much as you think. You can probably rent a bed room in a shared house for $500-$750/month and pubic transportation is a plenty in the Bay Area. But I do hear you about that concern. Wish we could offer you the program in your location. Where by chance do you live as we might take the school on the road next year.
