Learners Guild is closed
This school is now closed. Although Learners Guild is no longer accepting students or running its program, you can still see historical information and Learners Guild alumni reviews on the school page.
Learners Guild is a 10-month, full-time full-stack web development learning collective with no upfront tuition cost in Oakland, CA. Learners Guild is a creative learning environment that uses the principles of cognitive apprenticeship to design a system for effective software development skills training. Nearly all learning takes place in team projects, much in the way that actual software applications are built. Therefore, there are no teachers telling students what to study. Instead of many students learning only from one person, every learner is learning from others and, in turn, passing on their skills and knowledge.
At Learners Guild, a new cohort joins every 10 weeks so there is always a dynamic range of skills and experience in the room that students should use to their advantage. The learning system helps students to choose projects and goals that are both relevant and challenging so that students are working on interesting problems that push them into "Proximal Zone of Development". Students do not pay tuition until they have secured job placement.
There is a need for more tech staff to help students. Non technical staff is very supportive, and the SEPS(Pro engineers are really helpful) If more tech staff was hired to work with students, things would be much better. It's a self learning environment but would be better if incorporated with a few classes taught by pro engineers. Environment is warm and friendly with lots of diverse types of people. Lot's of adjustments are made because it's growing so fast, but would've been better...

Lot's of adjustments are made because it's growing so fast, but would've been better if it growed gradually and had less changes, which happen consistenly. Lots of positive changes have been made and hopefully will continue. If you are a social person who has a good understanding of how you learn best, and are willing to put in the hours, you will do well.
