"Holy smokes! Best Program around!"

Before I begin my review, I want to give a shout out to my academic success manager Cali. She has been absolutely awesome through my whole time through the program. She is quick to reply to emails or slack messages and she... Read More

In terms of the actual program. There are bits and pieces where there is some dry reading. Hopefully they change that or implement some video series to break it up. Overall though, all the information you need to get into the tech industry is there, I have learned so much in the last few months. I would honestly referer someone to Thinkful if they were considering coding. The "go at your own pace" really worked well for me and my schedule since it can be unpredictable and it allowed for my dog to not interrupt me during class times.

Overall, One of the best schooling experiences I have ever had. If you are willing to work with them, they will work with you and your needs.

Hi Everyone its my first time review so bear with me

Currently Thinkful has different programs I will be talking about Data Science Program. They are saying they provide you outstanding curriculum , industry levels mentors, is not enough ? they have also... Read More

1-) At first glance curriculum is good, and especially if you have no idea what data science you will feel like man i am learning but the truth is ifyou want to learn data science anywhere Kaggle, Youtube , CourseErea, Mit .... they have more information, SO WHAT AM TRYING TO SAY ....
curriculum is lack of academic knowledge, and some parts are not clear, and even you ask your mentor mentors have no idea

2-) Mentor ship : Thats is something great having someone in the field and expert is supporting you twice in a week ... But the problem lots of mentors they dont really work for Thikfull, theyre are part time, and TRUST ME . THEY DO NOT SHOW UP, and you can change your mentor , even the new one can be worse than your old mentor , its about your luck
3-) Q/A session where student ask expertise in CERTAIN SUBJECT, i have experience couple time they dont show up, and even one time i had to ended up helping another student
4-)Workshop same as QA , if you expecting something big i am sorry to say to you , DO NOT, I attended one it was 90 minutes the guy was talking how his life was before, and what he did to get a job, .... hold on a second this was SQL session ....and after some time he show the student
SELECT * FROM Table; it was perfect workshop i would never forget ....
5-)Program Manager (PM) this person is in the charge ,you can reach to them any time they say you wan to change your mentor go to Pm , you have question related to curriculum go to PM , financial question go to Pm , I mean is the hub connection point , only thing they can do it for your
SORRY FOR YOU EXPERIENCE LET ME TALK TO ACADEMIC MANAGER TEAM , OR LET ME TALK TO THEIR MANAGER ...that is the answer you will get from them so
do not do like me , try to search and do not believe 5 start rating , and job guarantee option, trust me, they are lack in academic curriculum , lack in having mentor support...I would give them --5n
