Build your career with merit
Our fast, flexible programs are built for working adults like you. We start by analyzing tens of millions of job postings to identify in-demand, high-paying tech careers, and then train for these roles with part-time programs that combine flexible online learning with best-in-class coaching.
Finally, we work with a learners to find higher-earning, family-sustaining jobs, with alumni seeing an average wage gain of $24k 3+ months after completing the program.
Merit America is on a mission to build a scalable pathway for workers to join the middle class through merit, not money. We will help you earn an industry-recognized credential from our partner Google in as little as 14 weeks without quitting your day job. Pay $0 upfront and only pay after if you’re earning $40,000 or more.
