Holberton School - https://www.holbertonschool.com/ a two-year alternative to college to become a Software Engineer.

The school is free to students until they find a job, then they contribute with a % of their salary. After only 9 months, many students find internships and jobs at companies like NASA, Apple, LinkedIn, Tesla, Dropbox...

It's a life-changing experience for many of our students, and it also changes the Tech industry by bringing folks with an untraditional background. Our students are straight out of high-school, some had a career before: cashier, math teacher, artist, poker player...

We have no formal teachers, no lectures, students learn by working on projects and collaborating with their peers. We are located in San Francisco and looking forward expanding.




How does this work for someone who already has a full-time job and mortgage? We would still need to take out a loan, right?


Cool that I stumbled across this, I'll be attending Holberton beginning next week.


% of their salary for how long after they have graduated?


"That is why there is no upfront cost to attend Holberton School. Once our graduates find a job, we only charge 17% of your internship earnings and 17% of your salary over 3 years."
