It’s time.

Lambda School, which pioneered career-focused education that aligns incentives of students with the school, is now:

Bloom Institute of Technology

New name, same commitment to lower-risk education that leads to rewarding jobs.

And now what we’ve been working on:

Introducing the Outcomes-Based Loan:

$0 upfront, no payments in school (or during job search).

Follow job search guidelines and don’t get a job paying $50k+ in a year?

We NOT ONLY refund 100% of tuition, but PAY YOU another 10% of tuition directly.

(bloomtech.com/tuition/tuitio…)

(And by the way, even once you land that great job, payments are low: $500-600/month.)

Details: bloomtech.com/tuition/outcom…

Which brings us to: Our 110% Tuition Refund Guarantee.

* Pay upfront tuition or w/ Outcomes-Based Loan
* Finish BloomTech course
* Job search w/proven steps

Don’t find a min. $50k/yr job w/in 365 days?

We refund 100% tuition PLUS an extra 10% of tuition direct to learner.

More:

Updated ISAs: Learners can choose between new Income Share Agreement options, including investing a portion of tuition up front, and we cover the rest until they land a job and earn $4,166/month.

4. New Web3 Development course.

Launching in Feb 2022!

Web3 teaches the basics of blockchain, the Ethereum ecosystem and smart contract development in Solidity.

The flexible course empowers learners—including working professionals—to step up their development game.

Here’s what we’re doubling down on as BloomTech.

1. Real work experience in Labs. This portion of the school provides teams of learners hands-on experience building and shipping a real product.

Think of it as your first tech job so you break through the “no experience” gap

2. The skills to get hired. We still work closely with employers to understand their hiring needs, then design our curriculum so learners graduate ready to enter those jobs.

3. Streamlined education. We teach learners exactly what they need to get hired (no filler). 900+ hours, tech skills for fast-growing jobs, professional (soft) skills and career supports like rapid networking coaching, and more.

At BloomTech, we are more focused than ever on our north star: expanding pathways to a better education, better job and higher income.

Very, very excited for the next stage!
