Code Platoon joins industry group geared at reporting honest student outcomes

Code Platoon is committed to providing the highest quality education for veterans and military spouses in Illinois. We are proud of our program and alumni but needed a way to quantify and standardize our outcomes. The Council on Integrity in Results Reporting (CIRR) provides us and many other coding schools an opportunity to record, report, and compare our data.

CIRR is a nonprofit organization with a mission to provide prospective coding school students an opportunity to know a school’s outcomes before deciding whether to enroll. The CIRR standards prevent deceptive graduation and job placement marketing practices and ensure a student can trust what a school advertises. The measurement standards are straightforward for schools to implement; and the reporting standards are both simple for students to understand and be counted in because they account for 100 percent of the enrolled student body.

In our latest report, Code Platoon reported a 91.7% on-time graduation rate. Within 180 days of graduating from Code Platoon, 81.8% of our students were employed full-time. You can read more about our outcomes on the CIRR website.

Code Platoon is among the first participating coding schools to report data to CIRR.

“We are positioned to not only lead the way in software development education for veterans, but also be instrumental in establishing coding schools as a viable educational opportunity for the future. We want our students, and anyone else interested in a career in coding, to have as much information as possible to make an informed decision,” says Code Platoon Executive Director Rodrigo Levy.
