Start with the job, not the school page
Send the program link and name the role, country, and timeline you are targeting. Add your current experience so Steady can distinguish useful training from material you already know.
1Map the target job
2Check curriculum, recognition, and full cost
3List the gaps that remain
Check the full commitment
- Tuition, mandatory fees, software, exams, travel, and financing cost.
- Real weekly workload and likely completion time.
- Recognition or accreditation required in your location.
- Skills taught versus skills shown in current job postings.
- Internship, portfolio, licensing, or experience still needed afterward.
- Refund, withdrawal, and transfer rules.
Treat outcome claims as claims
Placement rates and salary figures are useful only when the methodology, sample, date, exclusions, and job definitions are clear. Ask Steady to show what the evidence supports and what it does not.
The right conclusion may be “good program, wrong goal,” “useful but incomplete,” or “a smaller course solves the actual gap.”
