Coding Dojo is now a certificate program inside Colorado Technical University, teaching one to three stacks (Python, Java, MERN) over 20 to 32 weeks for $9,995 to $16,995. It suits beginners who want a for-profit university's structure and possible credit toward a CTU degree. Before paying, know that the school publishes no placement data at all and that the three-stack option asks for up to 60 hours a week.

Program page lists a Data Structures and Algorithms module and 'practice interviews' within career services; no system-design module and no stated hours.
Job support: structured. Program page: 'Interview Prep & Job Search Strategies', practice interviews, instructor code reviews, resume and interviewing preparation, 'Lifetime Access to Career Services', CTU alumni network.

What a careful reader should know
Acquired by Perdoceo Education Corp. (NASDAQ: PRDO) on December 1, 2022 for a preliminary $64.9 million and folded into Colorado Technical University; students enrolled after January 2025 use the CTU portal, and 2- and 3-stack graduates may apply 24 or 30 credits toward CTU's BS in Information Technology. January 2024 layoffs and suspension of the Cybersecurity and Data Science programs were reported on r/codingbootcamp (Jan 19, 2024, via Brave snippet in the prior pass). No outcomes reporting of any kind. Course Report reviews cite price versus value, uneven career-coaching contact and the three-stack pace as the main complaints.
Third-party signals: Course Report 4.38 (630 reviews). SwitchUp 4.57. Reddit sentiment negative. Graduation-time star ratings are collected by the schools; weigh them accordingly.
