Anytime. We offer open enrollment, which means that students can begin immediately. We don’t have set start dates like “Classes begin June 1st” and we don't have "cohorts" (groups of students that start and end their training on the same dates).

We allow students to enroll in their boot camp when it is convenient for them.

Jack Stanley and Erik Gross are the primary creators of the curriculum. The typical, general sequence has been:

1. They create a curriculum plan together,
2. Jack writes the scripts, articles, etc.
3. Erik edits Jack’s works.

We have several payment options, including:

1. Paying the entirety of the tuition up front. For this option, we are able to offer students excellent discounts and savings.
   
   
2. Financing through Launch Servicing. Students pay monthly tuition payments and no minimum credit is required to qualify. This option includes no discounts and students pay monthly until the full price of their tuition is paid.
   
   
3. Income Share Agreements (ISAs). An Income Share Agreement is a contract between you and The Tech Academy that allows you to attend school risk-free without paying any tuition upfront. The ISA contract outlines that in exchange for receiving a Tech Academy education, you agree to pay a fixed percentage of your income for a fixed duration of time after you complete the course. Payment occurs when the student is employed and earning above a predetermined minimum salary. ISA contracts have Payment Caps that clearly indicate the most a student would pay given the terms of their ISA contract.

The most affordable tuition option and the only one that includes discounts is paying the tuition in full ahead of time.

The refund policy varies state to state. For the refund policy for your state, please refer to your Student Enrollment Agreement. The data in this section is our refund policy for the state of Oregon.

Students are granted a pro-rated refund based on the date they signed their enrollment agreement. It is calculated based on the number of weeks that have passed since the date on the enrollment agreement (not on hours studied, credits obtained, etc.) and regardless of time taken off the program (for example: if the student was not studying during the time that passed or if they were on a leave of absence, the weeks are still counted as time since the date of enrollment). Refunds are counted against the number of calendar weeks that have passed since the date on the Enrollment Agreement and regardless of any other factors. No refunds are granted 50% in to the program.

As a note: students that enroll with an Income Share Agreement (ISA) or in-house financing (monthly payments to The Tech Academy) do not receive refunds – they are ineligible for refunds.

If you feel you may refund, we recommend not enrolling because typically it results in the student losing money.
