Seriously, looking through the syllabus it is a lot to cover; and if you learn it well through their method (and if employers also believe in it) I can see it might be worth it. But I doubt it. It is a pretty big promise.
How do customers finance a twenty thousand dollars course? Edit: This [1] blog post loosely explains it. Pave, which is one of the "lenders" has the following terms: $3,000 - $25,000 6.97% to 27.10% APR 2 - 3 Year Terms No Prepayment Penalty [1] http://www.hackreactor.com/blog/partnerships-with-lenders-pa...
I can't imagine the people in these bootcamps are coming from a low income background (mostly university graduates). 20k from parents, family and friends before even turning to loans isn't terribly difficult to get if they're all convinced with you that this is your shot at a 100k+ salary and becoming self-sufficient.
I can't help but feel you're holding some insane grudge against the program that you can't let go. Why is that? We're both alums from the same program, I got so much more out of it than what you're claiming was actually delivered in your post.

I seriously doubt a boot camp will get you a 100k job if you aren't already qualified

Maybe. I think they should stop calling it a bootcamp and simply refer to it as a technical degree in software. People might take it more seriously.
So, you think they should just blatantly lie about what their program is?
It isn't a degree of any kind, or anything even approaching a degree.
It is a bootcamp, and people should take it exactly as seriously as the name implies.
