I've been considering a career change and looking at going back to school. These programs seem to promise something significantly cheaper and faster than school, though, and in fields that I've been looking into anyway. Allegedly, they're a few hundred bucks, can be done in months, and are doable even if you don't have any experience in those fields.

But it kind of sounds too good to be true to me, so I'm pretty wary of actually trying them. Like, time and money are the biggest factors really holding me back from wanting to dive into school again, so something that allegedly cuts down on both sounds fantastic on the surface, but things that sound too good to be true usually are. I feel like there's probably some kind of catch, namely that I'm not really sure if an employer would really value one of these at all.

Does anyone have any experience with these and if they're actually useful and if they legitimately help you land a job afterwards? There's no real reason to bother if it won't actually help me, but they do sound reasonable at face value.
