How do the pricing plans work?
Our accessible pricing requires a small upfront fee to secure your spot and demonstrate your commitment. At Switch Academy, our goal is to bring you a great career outcome and help you make a switch in your life.

That's why our pricing model is outcome-driven. We help you land your dream job, and you pay us back with just 10% of your future base salary paid over 18 months.

The training quickly pays itself back with just a 25% salary increase, but we aim to get you way more, even like a 50-75% increase.

In this way, all the incentives are aligned because it is in our and your best interest to land you the best job with the highest salary.

There are 3 different tiers (Start, Grow and Scale) based on your current seniority level and salary.

The higher your career level is, the higher the cost is, based on the program's complexity, the seniority of the industry expert who will mentor you 1-to-1, and the job and salary outcome we'll help you achieve.

We'll match you with one of our top-tier mentors that will provide mentoring sessions for up to 2 hours every week. In these sessions, the mentor will help you get overcable roadblocks, keep you accountable for progress and provide valuable feedback to prepare for your dream job.
