Primetime Education

Questions You May Have

The decision to embark on a new career is a big step and you're certainly going to have a bunch of questions. Below are a few you may have, if your question isn't answered here feel free to reach out and schedule time to discuss the program with us!

• Would the full time program or the part time program be better for me?

  The curriculum goals for both programs are the same, so if you have the option to devote yourself full time to your career transition you may want to consider that path to accelerate your transition. If a full time commitment isn’t feasible for you, or you are outside of the Minneapolis/St. Paul area the part time program may be a better fit.

• Will this format be easier than the full time program?

  The part time format asks less of students on a weekly basis, but most students will be balancing their studies with work or other commitments that require time. The hurdles that you’ll be required to clear in order to complete the program are largely the same. For most students both programs will represent a challenge that requires significant time and discipline.

• Will you help me find a job?

  Our part time program will be provided with the same robust career development curriculum and support that we’ve used to help more than a thousand alumni find their first tech jobs. Because of the schedule and format, some of the tactical job search parts of the program will look different than the full time program, but we’re committed to providing the same dedication and open-ended support in the job search that all of our alumni enjoy.

• Can my employer pay for training?

  One of our goals in creating the part time program was to support potential students who are being encouraged by their current employers to grow into new roles. As such, we’ll be happy to work with you and your employer to explore tuition reimbursement, training scholarships or other programs that could help you support your study at Prime.

• I don't live near Minneapolis, can I enroll?

  Yes. The part time program is remotely delivered; you are welcome to study from your home wherever that may be.

• What is the schedule for classes?

  The bulk of your time in the part time cohort will be split up between synchronous weekly class lectures, asynchronous individual and scheduled group work sessions. 

• Is full tuition due up front or can I pay as I go?

  A $1,500 refundable deposit is due upon acceptance into Prime. The balance of tuition can be paid up front, in a series of up to 3 payments during the program or financed using a loan or income share agreement.
