Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


 
 
Is QuickStart accredited?

QuickStart is not accredited in the same way that a traditional university is. We are an authorized training provider for Microsoft, NetApp, Google, AWS, Cisco, and others. Many of our academic partners offer our programs as non-credit training through their professional and continuing education office. If you are interested in offering college credit for our bootcamps, we will assist with the application to your accrediting body.

Does QuickStart offer financial aid?

Our training is typically offered as non-credit, so traditional financial aid is not an option for our students. However, we do offer the option of payment plans to students who cannot pay the full upfront cost.

How long has QuickStart been in business?

QuickStart was founded in 1988 and has over 35 years of training experience. We pride ourselves on providing training for many Fortune 5000 companies and government organizations.

How does QuickStart Career Services help students?

Our Career Services team is here to support students every step of the way. It starts with a comprehensive review of their career goals. Once career goals have been established, we get to work on building each student’s “marketing toolkit”. This includes a professional LinkedIn profile, a GitHub profile, and portfolio, if applicable. We then help students streamline and automate their job search process, and stay involved for up to 6 months beyond their graduation date.

Yes! Technology jobs continue to go unfilled at staggering rates and employers count us to close that gap. Our employer partners value the quality of employees that our students turn into, which continues to open the door for future graduates.
