That's fair. But then why ask the student to pay, rather than the employer?

Nope, not a problem. It was meant as a statement of fact, not a judgement! :)

Ok, so you're competing directly with Dev Bootcamp (http://devbootcamp.com) by underpricing them.

I'm reading the tuition section here: http://www.appacademy.io/description

It looks like the student pays you 12.5% of their first year's salary. Normally wouldn't the hiring company pay?

If I'm reading it right -- and I might not be -- how is that different than a student loan? Wouldn't that just be 12.5% off the top of their first year's salary? It's not like a potential employer would offer 12.5% more just because you're charging the student.

You've already run a few iOS classes, too. Can you talk about outcomes?
