Kuzzat Altay · FounderFAQ
Questions we hear every week.
What if AI replaces these jobs?
It’s the opposite. AI is creating more of these jobs, not fewer. AI writes code faster than ever, but it can’t catch its own mistakes. Every AI feature needs testing. Every AI system needs security. QA roles grew 17% in the last two years while developer roles grew only 9%. Cybersecurity has 514,000+ unfilled positions and 0% unemployment. We teach you to use AI as a tool, not compete against it.
I have zero tech experience. Can I really do this?
Yes. That’s exactly who this program is built for. Stay-at-home parents, restaurant workers, military veterans, cab drivers. They all started with zero tech background. The program begins from absolute scratch. If you can follow instructions and put in the work, you can do this.
Is this a scam? How do I know CYDEO is real?
CYDEO has been training students for 10 years across 36 countries. 14,000+ graduates. 245+ reviews. Our founder teaches live classes, and you’ll meet him in person during the free intro class. We don’t hide behind corporate messaging. Search our graduates on LinkedIn. Attend a free class and decide for yourself. Zero risk.
What if I can’t afford it?
Our most popular option: $500/month during the program, which is $4,000 total. You pay the rest after you’re hired and earning a tech salary. We also offer an upfront payment option with a 20–30% discount. Plus a 100-day money-back guarantee. Compare this to a 4-year degree at $80,000+ or competitor programs at $10,000–$15,000+.
I’ve failed at online courses before. Why would this be different?
Most online courses are self-paced videos with no support. CYDEO is live classes every week with our founder, a cohort of fellow students, homework with real feedback, and career support that never expires. You’re not alone watching videos. You’re in a classroom with real people. That structure is why programs like ours have an 85–96% completion rate, vs. 3–15% for self-paced courses.
