The number that matters first

Tuition is $8,350 USD — about 9% of the entry-level salary this track leads to. Entry roles start at $90,000–$100,000, the median sits at $132,000, and the ceiling runs to $220,000+. On first-year pay alone, the programme returns its cost roughly every three to four weeks of employment — and keeps returning it for the rest of your career.

Your class time

Tuesdays 13:00–14:00 · Thursdays 18:00–19:00 (Women-Only cohort) — Central Standard Time (CST, UTC−6). One live class every week for the full year, plus your weekly 30-minute 1:1 mentor session (Monday–Thursday afternoons). Check the overlap with your local time before applying.

Why graduates of this track get hired

Three reasons, in the order employers cite them. First, depth: 44 weeks and 50 live classes produce a candidate who has done the work, not watched it. Second, proof: a capstone employers can test-drive, industry certifications, and a year of documented projects. Third, access: the final phase runs through our developed hiring funnel of partner companies, with introductions made for you and support until you sign.

Taught by people who've done it for 20+ years

Every instructor and mentor on this track has had a successful career at top universities and companies, with at least 20 years of experience. Your weekly 1:1 mentor reviews your work, corrects your course, and prepares you for the interviews they themselves used to run.

Technology that adapts to you

Our proprietary, custom-built platform adapts each module to how you individually learn, and integrates spaced-repetition scheduling — so phase-one fundamentals are still sharp when interviews arrive in the final phase. Built in-house by our own engineers; because we've taken no venture capital, profits go into improving it rather than into investor returns.

Practical assurances

Every enrolment carries a 7-day money-back guarantee (less the non-refundable deposit) and the 6-month job guarantee: graduate without a job in 6 months and you choose six more months of career support or free admission to another track (conditional on documented job-search participation).

Alumni and teams

Derry Training graduates return for a second track at 40% off. Employers training three or more people take 10% off every seat, invoiced once — email admin@derrytraining.com.

Practicalities

Applicants are accepted from anywhere in the world. All live classes and mentor sessions are scheduled on Central Standard Time (CST, UTC−6) — check the overlap with your local time before applying. Minimum age: 16. All prices in US Dollars (USD); all payments are taken in USD.

"Worth every penny. The payment plan meant I could start immediately, and the salary jump paid the course back within my first year."
