An unreliable institution is easier said than a reliable institution, because the real hard indicators to measure whether an institution is reliable, such as student employment rate and employment salary, are only known by insiders.
After entering the IT training industry for more than two years, Brother Xun has a certain understanding of large and small institutions in the market. Here, I will list seven training institutions that I am interested in, including three large institutions and four small institutions. I will introduce their gossip and list their reasons for reference only (being interested does not mean being reliable, but being interested among competitors).
Let's talk about three big institutions that Xun Ge is concerned about and not disgusted with (Xun Ge's definition of big institutions is: nationwide, the enrollment exceeds 10000 or more than 20 branch schools)
0 1, Chanz Podcast
Founded in 2006, Chanz Podcast is one of the most famous IT training institutions in China.
In the early days, founder Zhang Xiaoxiang shared and disseminated content in the most primitive form, such as writing IT textbooks and recording IT tutorials, which laid a good reputation foundation for Chanz and implanted the gene of content dissemination and sharing for Chanz.
So far, Chanz has compiled 65 original textbooks and distributed 6,543,800+0,350 copies. At the same time, it was selected as a teaching material by more than 654.38+0.072 colleges and universities, and its video tutorial was released for more than 654.38+0 million hours, with a cumulative download of more than 30 million times.
20 1 1, Chanz took the lead in adopting hierarchical teaching mode and establishing a dark horse programmer. Dark horse is mainly aimed at middle and senior students with a certain foundation. Selecting students through written examination and interview seems to narrow the market scope, but it has a very good word-of-mouth effect, which makes Chanz have a good word-of-mouth and go up a storey still higher.
From 2065438 to 2007, Chanz raised 247 million yuan, including 47196,200 yuan invested by Kai-Fu Lee's innovation works, and Chanz began to expand Zhang Zhilu on a large scale with a large amount of funds.
However, with the expansion of the scale, the quality of teaching will inevitably decline. Because of the large scale, it is more difficult to manage, and it is difficult for teachers to keep up. This is a common problem in the expansion of educational institutions (because of the shortage of teachers, Chanz began to adopt video teaching, that is, double class system).
List reasons: Chanz's tutorial sharing spirit is admirable!

Mars era
The two most popular movies in the summer of 20 15 are undoubtedly Return of the Great Sage and Hunting the Demon, one of which is regarded as the conscience of domestic animated films, and the other has set a new box office record for domestic films. However, what you may not know is that the visual effects of these two works and many members of the later team come from the same school-Mars Age Education (this is also seen in a good drama and a prosperous later team).
The era of Mars was founded in April 20001year, and the predecessor "Wang Qi Computer Animation Studio" was founded in June 20001993. Its founder and CEO, Wang Qi, is the author of the first CG textbook, Crash 3D Animation, in China.
Similar to the development track of Chanz, the early Mars era accumulated a large number of fans by compiling teaching materials and video recording, which laid a good foundation for its later development.
Regarding the era of Mars, there are two things that have to be mentioned: "Dana copied the website of Mars" and "Yang was not employed normally".
"Dana copied the Mars website": On March 18, the official Weibo of Mars Times issued a statement accusing Dana Technology of copying its official website, including but not limited to advertising copy, student works, competition honors and various photos.
After the announcement, "Dana plagiarized the Mars website" quickly became the headline of the IT training circle. The training buddies who were not busy enough to watch the excitement compared the two websites for the first time and found that it was not plagiarism, but complete plagiarism. Moreover, in Dana's advertisement, there is a funny scene of "learning design, going to Mars, going to Mars, learning design" (how careless this copy is).
After being exposed, Dana didn't respond, but quietly cancelled the official Weibo ... Interested students can go to Weibo in the era of Mars to see what happened.
"Yang Abnormal Entry Event": Shortly after Dana, Mars hit the gun itself.
20 18 In the era of Mars, I participated in the job recruitment program "If You Are the One" and offered a job seeker named Yang a basic salary of 13000/ month.
But in the era of Mars, Yang was told by the director of human resources that "the salary has changed, and the basic salary has become 4,000 yuan. Through our own efforts, the final monthly income can reach 13000 yuan. "
The agreed 13000 yuan became 4000 yuan. Once this incident was exposed, the Mars era was denounced by a large number of media and netizens.
In the end, Mars Times published "Notes on Yang's Abnormal Employment" on its official Weibo and official WeChat, and the management of the company said that it was deeply rethinking the misunderstanding caused by the incident.
The reason why one-on-one mistakes are mentioned together is because the training brother wants everyone to look at things dialectically. No training institution can only see one side, good and bad.
Reason for listing: high popularity, and the design field is superior to the hodgepodge organization.

Excellent employment
Excellent Employment is a new brand established after the merger of Zhonggong Electronic Business School and Zhonggong Internet Marketing Students under Zhonggong Education. Relying on the strong strength of Chinese public education, it has developed rapidly. In just a few years, it has opened branches in 30 provinces and cities across the country (about the establishment time, Youpin deliberately concealed it, and the relevant information could not be found on the Internet. Brother Xun estimated that it was around 20 16).
Excellent employment adopts small class teaching, with an average of about 20 students in one class. Brother Xun was deeply impressed by the hardware facilities. Students use Apple computers in class, and the accommodation environment is comparable to that of hotels (but the price is relatively expensive, 600/ month for quadruple rooms, 800/ month for double rooms and 0/400/month for single rooms). Some campuses also have gyms and student restaurants.
A fan of Xungeer trained there. He interviewed many organizations and finally chose excellent employment. It is said that the loan has no interest and needs to be verified.
Reason for listing: small class teaching, good hardware settings.
Small and medium-sized institutions have low exposure and little information. Brother Xun selected four more impressive ones and introduced them to you one by one (Brother Xun's definition of small and medium-sized institutions is regional, with no more than 2,000 students enrolled or no more than 3 branch schools).
0 1
Tainiu programmer
Tai Niu programmer was founded on 20 15 by Han Shunping, former head of Chanz Podcasting PHP discipline.
I graduated from Han Shunping, Tsinghua University, and recorded many teaching videos in PHP and Java, which is well-known in the IT education circle. 20 1 1, he joined Chanz and was in charge of the PHP project. As Chanz grew up, he felt that he had lost his passion for starting a business, so he resigned and started a Thai programmer.
The tuition fee of Tainiu programmers is about 5,000 yuan lower than that of large-scale training institutions (reduced by half after discount), because they don't do marketing promotion, saving money, and at the same time, they also make promises that other institutions dare not make:
1.0 yuan, really no loan. 2. Guaranteed 5k- 10k employment, 5k employment has no money.
What impressed Brother Xun the most was the position of Tainiu programmer. Compared with the silence of some large training institutions and small and medium-sized institutions, the position of Tainiu programmer is simply a clean stream. The students' feelings for the institution, recognition of teachers, attitude towards learning and sharing of training experience have left a deep impression on Brother Xun.
Unfortunately, however, in 20 17, Tainiu, a programmer who just turned two years old, closed down, and Mr. Han Shunping joined Shangsigu in early 20 18.
List the reasons: the attitude of not advertising and the comments made by the students in the post bar.
02
Ma Shang education
Ma Shang Education was established in March, 20 17, and it is an institution that only focuses on Java training.
To tell the truth, Brother Xun doesn't know much about this organization. I mentioned it because of one thing. Brother Xun knows that he saw a question and answer of Ma Shang education in Baidu, and the general content was that blind training with zero foundation and low academic qualifications was not recommended.
Brother Xun thought, is this sincere or false? After all, there are too many student training institutions under the guise of affection. So, Xun Gang took these students who pretended to be "zero-based and low-educated" to official website, Ma Shang to find out.
To Xun's surprise, his consultant didn't sell me the course or even give me any guarantee after hearing that I had "zero foundation and low education". Instead, it is suggested that I teach myself for a period of time to judge my learning ability and adaptability. And frankly speaking, the success rate of people with "zero foundation and low education" is not high, and the standard of enrollment in their institutions is college education or above.
The tuition fee announced by official website is 12000 yuan, which is about 6000 yuan lower than that of large training institutions. But they made it clear that "employment is not included and employment is not recommended. Including employment, please turn left to Foxconn. "
Reason for listing: screening students is a performance of being responsible for students.
03
Woniu college
Students who often look up IT training-related questions in Zhihu should be familiar with Snail College, because its Zhihu organization Snail College (operator Egg Brother) has answered almost all questions about IT training.
Xun Gang also learned about them through Zhihu. His answer is sincere and tells a lot of truth, giving the impression that he is a responsible institution. What impressed Brother Xun the most was "Seven Questions of Xun", as follows:
1. Does the contract system guarantee employment or recommend employment? 2. Dare to guarantee the employment salary in the contract? 3. Do you dare to leave at any time if you are not satisfied after entering school? 4. Dare to show you real employment information? 5. Dare to audition for at least one week for free? 6. Dare to promise a full refund if you don't work in the contract? 7. Can you concentrate on teaching instead of advertising?
Again, there are too many training institutions for students under the guise of affection. Brother Xun is very curious about this institution and has made some understanding. The salary of students announced by official website is basically between 4,500 and 6,500, unlike the "highest salary of 23,333, average salary 12345" advertised by other institutions, which is relatively reliable.
List the reasons: reach the level mentioned in the "seven questions of training"
04
IT xiuzhenyuan
Similar to Brother Dan, a partner of Snail College, the founder of Skill Tree IT Xiuzhen College often answers questions in Zhihu, but they answer questions in different ways. Egg brother generally exposes some inside information of the IT training industry before launching his own training institution; Dark out is to directly list the benefits of your own college, and simply and rudely let everyone choose it to fix the true school.
The biggest feature of IT training institutions is the teaching mode, which is different from that of mainstream training institutions. IT training institutions adopt the teaching mode of seniors leading students.
We can learn about their teaching mode through their learning routes published by official website, as shown in the following figure:
All courses in the IT Training Theater are free, but IT is worth noting that in Zhihu, the question is: What kind of institution is the IT Training Theater? In the course, some students questioned that the training institutions made students feel great pressure by improving the span and difficulty of tasks, thus inducing freshmen to sign up for online and offline paid courses (not as free as you think) (the highest praise answer).
At the same time, for some reasons, there are some controversies about the extinction of the founder. Brother Xun once saw the posts of IT Xiuzhen College students and their tears in the post bar.
List the reasons: the teaching mode is unique, but the effect is unknown.
These are six training institutions that Brother Xun is interested in. But again, being interested doesn't mean recommending, and it doesn't mean being reliable, because Brother Xun has never trained in any of these institutions, and all his knowledge about them comes from industry, media, students, official website and so on. , not necessarily completely reliable.
At the same time, I despise some respondents who recommend institutions without training.
