Answers to your questions.
Everything you need to know about programs, tuition, time commitment, and outcomes — answered honestly.
While we are not a degree-granting institution, our programs are designed and taught by industry leaders from companies like Stripe, Figma, and DeepMind. Many employers now recognize IOP Digital credentials as equivalent to or stronger than traditional CS degrees for relevant roles.
We offer income-share agreements where you pay nothing upfront and a percentage of your income only after you land a job above a minimum salary threshold. We also have need-based scholarships and flexible payment plans — no one is turned away for financial reasons alone.
Most programs require 12-16 hours per week including live sessions, project work, and self-study. We design for working professionals — live sessions are scheduled in the evenings (rotating time zones) and all materials are available async.
85% of our graduates accept a job offer or promotion within 6 months of completing their program. Alumni work at companies including Stripe, Figma, DeepMind, Shopify, Google, and Microsoft. Our career services team supports you until you land.
Most programs have a pre-work module designed to bring everyone to a common baseline. We assess your readiness during the application process and recommend the right starting point — whether that's a foundation track or direct entry into your chosen program.
We offer a 14-day full refund from the start of your program, no questions asked. After that, our outcome guarantee means if you complete the program and don't achieve a qualifying job outcome within 6 months, you receive a full tuition refund.
