What exactly is the DCT?
Deferred Conditional Tuition (DCT) is a contract that allows us to charge students much less up front ($200/month) while they are in the program, because it guarantees that, if the student gets a job in tech, that pays over $40,000/year in 2 years from starting the program, the student has to pay the deferred tuition ($307/biweekly for 12 months, or $192/biweekly for 24 months).
Why do I still have to pay $200/month?
Get Coding actually doesn't get any money from this $200. It is used to pay the instructors, who are all software developers at local tech companies. So they are all independent contractors. And it is not their responsibility to ensure the students are on an overall good path to employment (they ensure the student learns the technical skills at hand). Get Coding's responsibility is to ensure that students is on the right path to employment and other things ensuring student's success. So only if Get Coding does its job only then students actually pay Get Coding.
Do I need to sign the DCT?
If you don't want to sign the DCT you can pay either $6,000 before the program.
Can anyone use the DCT?
We only are able to provide so many DCT agreements at a time, and therefore we reserve the right to not offer a DCT to everyone. If you are interested in applying for a DCT, speak to us.
Who qualifies for the DCT?
To get the DCT, the indivudal has to prove that without the DCT they are either unable or it would be very difficult for them to join the program.
Additionally, we look for proven commitment to learning and aptitude in software development and a strong understanding of the local and global tech sector.
Why is Get Coding using DCT?
We developed DCT to make our program more accessible to everyone, where the upfront tuition only $200/month.
What if I don't get a job?
If you don't get a tech jobs that pays over $40,000/year in under 2 years, then we didn't do our job right therefore you don't pay the deferred tuition.
What if I have to stop the Coaching Program at Get Coding?
You can stop participating in the Coaching Program at any point and stop paying the fixed monthly rate ($200/month). However, if you have done more than 4 sessions with Get Coding's Coaching Program, you are still required to pay the deferred tuition if you find a tech job that pays over $40,000/year within 2 years of starting our program.
How does the payment work?
The fixed $200/month payment is done through a secure online portal. And the deferred tuition is done through the same portal.
