ISA = Income Sharing Agreement.

The way Lambda School worked was, you didn't pay for the instruction up front. Rather, when you got a job, Lambda School was entitled to take a chunk of your income.

It had the whiff of scam to me, as it reminded me of the payment arrangements for another outfit, variously called Unbounded Solutions, BrighterBrain, and EnhanceIT: you go to Atlanta for two months of "free" training, after which you were bound to indentured servitude to them for a period of two years. Attempt to break the contract and you would be billed a minimum of $20,000 for the "free" training they offered you.



Good god, this is straight up rackateering
