Chegg Skills

Thinkful's approach to education is both refreshing and relevant. 

You learn job-ready skills while thoroughly understanding the academic fundamentals of web development. Their onboarding process is amazingly seamless and 
everyone I've encountered (especially my mentor) is super-friendly and knowledgeable. They understand and empathize with the student which means you never feel "dumb" for asking questions and are constantly pushed to get better and better. 

The curriculum is very logical and well thought out and the community is available 24/7 for any doubts/questions. I have been in the course for 2 months and have learned soo much, it's incredible. Also, the focus on post-graduation employment is clear and well-articulated wherein you need to have a goal and Thinkful will help you get there.

One word of caution...please don't expect the course to be easy and for you to just breeze through it. Learning takes time, dedication and motivation; if you can balance and maintain these things, you will find yourself learning many practical and fascinating concepts.      

As a lifelong student of traditional on-campus schools and colleges, I was wary of distance ed. This course has quelled all of those fears and I have absolutely no regrets taking the Career Path and would recommend it to anyone looking to learn and work in the web dev field. 

I started the Part-Time Web Development Career Path to change careers and become a programer. Trying to teach myself I never set a schedule for myself and having the mentor sessions at Thinkful really help me to set a goal for myself and push myself to reach that goal. The community at Thinkful is awesome everyone there is helpful with answering questions or helping you figure out the solution to your question. I am almost done with the frontend development section and feel I have learned more in this month than I have learned throughout my entire college career. I am really looking forward to finishing up the frontend work and diving into backend development.

I studied Computer Science a few years ago and was introduced to css and html. From that point, I decided that I would definitely start a career in web development.

After my search for the best course of study, I found Thinkful and I am so greatful that I did.  My mentor, James, is really cool, and explains the concepts very well. I love that the curriculum not only shows you how to do things, but offers many sites to read and expand on what you have already been taught. I also appreciate the flexibility of the course.

I am totally enjoying it thus far and looking fowrard to advancing my career.

Thank you Thinkful!

If you are interested in becoming a developer without any prior experience, Thinkful is perfect for you! I decided to take the Frontend developlemt course out of pure curioisity and also a desire to maybe someday be a software engineer. The course is part time and you can complete it as fast or as slow as you want. I now have a full portfolio of eight tangible projects that employers can look at. There is also an awesome full-time career path that I would reccomend if you are sure on a career change.

Tight on money??? No problem! I was able to complete the frontend course in a month and thus never had to make more than one payment. Now I still have full access to the course curriculum and slack chatroom to help continue my development(because the learning never stops)! 

I plan on taking another course in the future. Five Stars all around!

I had tried teaching myself Front-End Web Development for a long time and really struggled grasping JavaScript, which was stopping me from getting the job that I really wanted and also from building the projects I had been most interested in. 

I tried Thinful because it was self paced and offered personalized mentorship, and that's where you really benfit. They host workships and live Q&A sessions all thoughout the day so you always have someone you can talk to when you get stuck. You can also just join these sessions and listen in on what other people are working on. This will save you so much time  and headache when trying to figure things out. 

After enrolling in this course, I was able to put together the pieces that I was missing and am more confident in building quality websites and web apps. I highly recommend Thinkful, they have a strong support community, high focus on job marketability, and are the best value for what you get. 

I'm very happy with my experience at Thinkful this far. I'm 6 weeks into the FEWD program and am pretty positive i'm going to continue on with the career path.

Thinkful's curriculum gives you to the tools you need to learn indpenedently and then you're able to bounce your questions/ideas off your mentors and other students in the slack communtiy. The most convenient part of the program for me has been that i'm able to keep my full time job as it's not an option to put my life on hold for a certain amount of weeks to attend a bootcamp or other program. To start as an almost absolute beginner has been initmidating but you're supported along the way. My mentor, Tyler, has been such an incredible asset and is what really makes this course so beneficial. 

You will 100% get out of the program as much as you put in. And if you're willing to work hard, there's no way that you will have a bad experience. 

I can't speak to the job assistance because I don't believe the FEWD program has it, but i'm really looking forward to that aspect in the career path.

I entered thinkful with some fundamental knowledge of programming concepts from an intro course in undergrad, and left with a body of real world applicable development skills. I was working full time, and found 20-30 hours / week for programming. Shortly after beginning with simple HTML and CSS, we moved to Javascript and some frameworks. From there we touched on NodeJS before settling for the bulk of instruction in the Laravel PHP framework. Experience with my mentor allowed me to gain a footing in many areas of the stack, including dev ops and other related disciplines. The skills I learned working with my mentor directly resulted in a back end developer job offer for a great web app company near my city. I would recommend anyone interested in programming to enroll in a free tutorial program for a couple weeks to make sure you enjoy the ideas presented. Then, immeditately enroll in Thinkful to secure a future in development!

Thinkful does an excellent job at structuring core development concepts into bite-size, but challenging, lessons. The one-on-one mentorship helps solidfy any difficulties along the way, and mentors are very patient to answer even the simplest questions. The coursework is relevant to industry standards and does a great job at stretching you where you need it most.

Another amazing perk - if you stick around for 3 months, you get lifetime access to new thinkful lessons and can attend live lectures on dev topics led by experts. 

Overall, I loved my thinkful experience!

Thinkful has a way of teaching that is profound and collectively puts you were you need to be through examples, links to various amounts of information, and the 1 on 1 mentoring.  This is an amazing program and I would recommend this one to everyone.  The way the course is it setup could only bring about success to those who use it and take advantage of all the support and content available.  Great job and keep up the great work.  I will definitely be returning for more courses and to continue were I left off.

Thinkful has been an absolute blessing for me. Going from a retail environment to being on the road to creating apps and websites is mind blowing for me. 

The curriculum content is very in depth and really encourages you to practice the material several times along the way. The one on one mentor meetings are an enormous tool to help you learn quickly and efficiently. Being able to have your questions answered and broken down while seeing it happen on screen is frankly, invaluable. 

Be prepared to put time into your course and homework. As many of the reviews stated before i started with Thinkful, it's only as good as the time you put in. Constant practice and reading of the material is required to ensure you're getting a deep understanding and grasp of the content. 

I'm very happy with my choice to enroll and I look foward to my continuing coding education knowing that I have a great foundation to build on thanks to my time with Thinful.
