"Holy smokes! Best Program around!"
As the title says, Holy smokes!
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.

"Over priced, poor curriculum."
Overview: For those of you in a hurry, here is a quick overview of Bloc.io. If you are truly interested in enrolling in their program, I recommend you read this in its entirety. The curriculum is simplistic in its explanation of topics and has several... Read More

"Great online bootcamp experience with Bloc!"
I would definitely recommend Bloc's Web Developer Track to anyone seeking to learn how to become a full stack developer. I had some self-taught coding experience in VBA coming into the program, but this was my first formal code training since a basic... Read More

"Irrelevant content, not worth your time nor your money, better off self studying"
I currently work at a well established tech company in the Bay, but I will not attribute any of my success to the wasted time and money spent at Bloc. Upon finishing the program, I did not receive reimbursement given the standard protocol. While I was... Read More

"Low quality of course content of Thinkful Data Science Flex course"
I dropped out the Thinkful Data Science Flex program after 20 days. and I was charged of $1745USD. I was amazed at the low quality of learning content. It even doesn't make sense in the context of the article it presents. Also, there is no video at all... Read More

"Bloc Screwed Me Over, Won't Reimburse Tuition As Promised, Even Though Followed Protocol"
I went to Bloc in late 2015 to early 2016. I joined because of the policies that made me comfortable. One of the main policies stood out was guaranteed tuition reimbursement as long as protocol was followed. Which I did. Still they refused reimbursement.... Read More

"5 Reasons Thinkfull is not good"
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
