My favorite teachers knew about almost all of the issues we encountered, and gave us time to try and figure it out ourselves before revealing the solution. Though I already had some intermediate-level knowledge of some of the skills being taught, I picked up on some extremely useful tips and tools that greatly improved my ability to code effectively. So whether you’re a beginner, or already know a bit about certain skills, there is still a lot to gain from attending a course. > > — Luka Anicic, UX Designer, Fordham University ## Pricing **Tuition:** $7995 Payment options: Student financing available; see the current application terms, pay-as-you-go installments, and GI Bill accepted.
