Thinkful Front-end Development course proved to me that I can actually code which seemed almost impossible before! Everything is explained pretty well and mentor helps a lot as well as Q&A sessions! I gained new skills and hope to continue learning how to code because it's so much fun! I like challenges and Thinkful is a perfect one to overcome!

Great Learning Platform
The self driven online learning platform offered by Thinkful was perfect for me. It allowed me to move at my own pace and gave me the opportunity to spend as much time as necessary on any subject I felt I needed. The 1 on 1 mentor sessions gave me a platform to voice my questions and concerns, and helped me to focus on what was really important for my development.

iOS (Swift)
My course at Thinkful was great! It provided me with a great foundation, now I feel like I can tackle any idea I have. If I have any problems, I know where to look if I have any issues. I would recommend this class to anyone!

Thinkful Frontend Experience
With practically zero experience I entered the front end engineering course nervous to say the least. Theyre support systems and my mentor relationship subsided such nerves continuosly throughout. I can't thank thinkful and my mentor Max enough for setting me on my path to becoming a programer! Great course!

Thinkful review.
I believe Thinkul is one of the best courses that I've seen out there. I've tried a couple of courses from different companies, but I feel like the one that helped me the most was Thinkful. The way they provide the information is very useful. They will give you a task and a one hour time frame for you to complete as much as you can. Once you finish the one hour time frame, you can go to the next step which is a walkthrough of how to complete the previous task.

The 1on1 with the mentor is such a great way to answer all your questions. Nicolas was my mentor and I have to say that he was an awesome resource that helped me a lot. I would recommend Thinkful to anyone who wants to learn how to code. - Brian BarrowStudent • Full Stack Flex • OnlineSep 07, 2016Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Worth it
I have really enjoyed the Thinkful curriculum so far. The reason I signed up was the mentorship factor. I had been going through FreeCodeCamp for about a year and was making good progress there, but I never had any consistent and quality feedback on my code. My projects worked, but I didn't know if I was following best practices. Having a mentor has been absolutely priceless. Definitely worth it!

I'm currently enrolled in the flexible time full stack developement course through thinkful.com . I don't have a background in coding but do have a sense of curiosity and desire to learn so I was searching for a program that would support me as I learnt concepts that we new to me. Part of the beauty of this program is the personal support provided by the staff. I'm not searching for tradtional employment upon gradution but rather the start of a freelance career so it's been great to hear from the various support staff as to how they can help me achieve this. I've never felt like a generic student being pushed through the program but rather like an individual with specfic needs that can be discussed and addressed. I have 3 people in my support team: my mentor, my program manager and a career counselor. We have discussed how my experience can be tailored to help my needs, from changing out sections of the curiculum to altering my career search to match the requirements of being a freelancer. It makes me fee like I'm being set up to succeed and flourish with my new found skills.
In terms of coursework support, I have 3 online video sessions with my mentor where we talk through concepts I'm having trouble grasping or work through code that isn't working. If I'm between sessions there is plenty of support in the form of online office hours or a slack channel filled with people happy to help.
If you are worried about coding being too hard for you or feeling like you want support and motivation as you learn then I can't recommend thinkful.com enough.

Very worthwhile course
I am currently in the Front End Web Development course and I am getting a lot out of it. The program layout is very helpful and the mentor they assigned to me is excellent. I would recommend this course to anyone who is looking to start from the beginning or who has been away from the subject and needs a good refresher course.

Front End Web Development
I'll lead with good news - I really did get a job (and a good one!) after completing Thinkful's flex front end bootcamp.

Working with a mentor 3x a week was fantastic and much needed. I also took advantage of the Slack chatroom and live Q&A sessions so that even though I was doing it online, I felt like I had a community around me.
Once I graduated (aka finished the curriculum), I had a very thorough review of my projects and portfolio to get them up to professional quality, plus help from an awesome team that introduced me to companies in my area and gave me interview and negotiating advice.
From start to finish, I felt really supported and very much that what I was learning was on point and applicable to real life jobs. I would pick Thinkful again in a heartbeat and definitely recommend it to anyone looking to transition into a dev career.

Front-End Web Development
This course has provided me skills that have proven to put me ahead of my competition in the job hunt. The course is well designed and I really enjoyed the fact it makes you think about how to design the layout or solve a problem on your own after providing just enough background information. This was a great first step for me to take on my way towards becoming a full stack web developer and I would certainly recommend you enroll if this field interests you.

Great Bootcamp!
This course has really helped me to understand what I am doing. I have tried to start learning to code on my own but this is the first time I truly started to understand it and have it stick.
Meeting with my mentor every week is really the difference maker. Just being able to learn from someone who is activley working in the industry is a huge help. My mentor has helped me grasp the information in the lessons way better than I could do on my own.

The projects are also set up in a way that really helps apply what was just learned. The staff at Thinkful are really great about fixing any issues quickly when you let them know about it.

Perfect course about Node.js
I've been attending this course for a few weeks now, and everything seems so clear and smooth. I knew almost nothing about Node.js, and now I feel confident enough to create any web app that comes through my mind. Kudos to Thinkful!
