As driveway says, if youre serious about going into the industry and have no previous experience, it can definitely be beneficial. Looking through the link it looks like theyve added a 16 week internship as well (which wasnt there when I went through it)
The program (when I was in it) had a high drop out rate though. starting in the fall there mustve been close to 150 students enrolled. By the time I finished I think there was 35 left
