The Good

  • Unique Learning Model
  • Real World Skills
  • Pay Later, Progress Now

Unique Learning Model

One of the standout features of VSchool is its commitment to ensuring student success through its Responsive Learning model. This model shifts the focus from mere graduation to gainful employment in the chosen industry. Each program at VSchool comprises distinct phases:

  1. skill acquisition,
  2. on-the-job experience, and
  3. career training.

This comprehensive approach equips students not only with technical skills but also with the practical knowledge required to thrive in the tech industry.

Real World Skills

VSchool understands that real industry experience is crucial for success in the tech world. Through its expansive hiring network, students gain access to real-life projects and internships. This hands-on experience enables students to build a portfolio that showcases their skills, making them more appealing to potential employers.

Pay Later, Progress Now

While it doesn't offer financing, VSchool offers its own "pay later" framework. Through an income share agreement, students are able to learn coding and design skills upfront and repay the tuition once they secure a job in the field. This innovative approach aligns the school's success with that of its students.

Additionally, VSchool does have limited scholarships available. As of this profile update, scholarships include the following:

  • $2,000 Fresh Start Scholarship
  • $2,000 Forever Scholarship for Service Members
  • IMPACT magazine and Meta partial and full-ride scholarships
  • Purple Heart Full Ride Scholarship

The Bad

  • Limited Financing Options
  • Focused Offerings

Limited Financing Options

While the income-sharing "pay later" model is innovative, it might not suit everyone's financial situation. Contact the school to enquire about options to pay now (that may involve financing through a third-party). 

Focused Offerings

VSchool primarily focuses on Full Stack Development, Cybersecurity, and UI/UX, which might not cover all aspects of the tech industry that prospective students are considering.

The Bottom Line

In a world where tech skills are highly sought after, VSchool is a great option for online certification. By combining personalized learning, real industry experience, and a commitment to student success made tangible through income sharing, VSchool paves the way for aspiring tech professionals to turn their dreams into reality.

That being said, Web Development, Cybersecurity, and UX/UI are the only options available, so it's not for everyone.

VSchool has an incredibly supportive community that makes the process of gaining new skills in tech more attainable. The leadership team is very thoughtful, and they have done a great job of covering the bases of transitioning careers. They provide value in a variety of different aspects, not just focusing solely on curriculum. The team seems adaptable, and I'll be looking forward to seeing what VSchool continues to accomplish.

V School is fantastic! Everything from the self-paced program to the incredibly relevant curriculum and amazing instructors is there to help you achieve your goal of learning the skills you need to pivot into tech. The student network is vast and diverse allowing you to connect with so many unique and intelligent individuals in a daily basis. The Career Prep side of everything is so intentional and powerful that it could be its own course. Your Student Success Mentor is your guide to go from eager student to working professional. Ive had the opportunity to work with wonderful SSMs, instructors and students throughout my time in the Web Development course and look forward to continuing these relationships now that Ive graduated. If you are looking for the right bootcamp for you, look no further.

The product this company brings to Utah is absolutely top notch. The mindful teachers and other cooperative faculty work hard every day to provide an excellent learning experience. The skills I have learned here about Website Development surpass anything I could have learned at a traditional 4-year University. Choosing this school may have been the best decision I have ever made to seriously change my career path. I feel well set up for my career as a Web Dev.

V School was the best decision I have made in my life, career wise. I was able to avoid the time and debt of a major college degree, and get started earning real world working experience. I am a bit of an exception to the rule as I was able to procure my first post school job starting the Monday after classes ended, however, I believe anyone who has a drive to make it and push themselves to be better will get the skills necessary to go out and become a powerhouse in the workforce.

Wouldn't be at my current job without V School. They take really good care of their veteran students and the networking with all the talent is probably the best perk of being a student. Highly recommend to my fellow veterans or anyone who wants to get into tech or upgrade their skill sets.

Matthew Wardlow Tampa, FL

Very difficult journey filled with lots of doubts. VSchool helped keep me on track and gave me a curriculum that allowed me to survive at my current job. It took me 9 months of job searching, multiple rejections from interviews, and over a thousand cover letters to finally suck it up and take a role paying 50k a year. Since programming is a truly valuable skill I was able to walk into my bosses office 4 months in and demand a 300% raise. Now i'm making over 100k a year without a college degree and less than 6 months work experience. Do not get your hopes up unless you are ready to give it your all, this is not easy. I advise you to be a highly technical person. Coding is not for everyone and this school is expensive.

As a successful graduate about a year into my now front end developer role I can honestly say I enjoyed multiple parts of V school. From getting the self paced curriculum, to having classmates to work with as a team, it’s well detailed modules, and excellent career counseling! Kelly is awesome! Highly recommend her as a counselor if you can get her!

Great experience overall! I did the full stack course back in 2019 before it was fully remote. This was the only boot camp I spoke with that had any prioritization of diversity and their program and the community I formed there is excellent. I've been working as a software developer for almost four years now, and I can truly say the V School helped change my life!

Ryan Suber Atlanta, GA

There is a lot to like about this school. They first find your interested area and then they will give you an introduction to that area to help you decide that is the route you want to go. That intro course confirmed that I wanted to do the full-stack JavaScript program. The entire course is well thought out and every section is explained to help people learn. There are challenging end of module projects but those projects help build your confidence and there are TA's and instructors available to help you if you get stuck. I would happily encourage anyone who is interested in learning full-stack web development to come here. The remote learning is a major help and the at your pace is the only reason I was able to do this course while working a full-time job and move into software development.

VSchool was excellent for me. I completed it during COVID and everything was online and at my own pace. I still worked my full time job as a teacher and would just do the work at night after my son would fall asleep. I felt supported, especially in the interview process when they helped me with my resume and did practice interviews with me before real ones. I’m glad I did it.

VSchool has exceeded my expectations in every way. I am amazed with my own growth and development so far as I'm coming toward the end of the full stack program. Entering as an awkward beginner with no confidence, I am moving forward with a clearer and more confident vision of possibilities and opportunities. I can't speak highly enough of the supportive staff, the persistent focus on student development, career prep, and the community. I feel like this is the best decision I ever made.

Timothy Mott Chicago, IL

The one thing I disliked was at the beginning of the course. There was very little help which cause me to take longer completing Vschool this did get better towards the later stages. Some things I liked was the assignments it was cool because i was learning something new. I also liked the help in the later stages ive meet a lot of new people and also it was amazing to recieve help me with their experience and it also gave me motivation to keep going despite the difficulty.

Excellent company with amazing people behind it. Absolutely recommend working with V School! Not only are they a great option in your pursuit of education, but they also put a great amount of attention on placement afterward. Don’t waste your time with other tech schools that you are just a number/dollar to. This place not only feels like home, student success is important to them.
