    So Much More Than A Bootcamp/Immersive

    Thinkful's staff, curriculum, resources, and interface are all so thoughtful, informative, reasonable, and designed to be complimentary to its students and the changing needs of a technology based society. I was blown away by how often our instructors and staff members took the time to check in with us during our day. I always felt supported, listened to, and cared about. Although the program was challenging and isn't everyone's learning style, whenever I felt stuck, unsure, or needing a...

    Software Engineering Immersion Program

    Signing up for Thinkful has been the best decision I've made in my life. I did their Software Engineering Immersion Program from November 2020 to April 2021 where I gained all the skills and knowledge necessary for a successful career in dev and it opened a lot of doors for me that I didn't even know existed. Thanks to Thinkful, my mentor, TAs, instructors, and their post-graduation career assistance, I am now a contributor to an emerging organization's website and a full time software e...

    Feeling skeptical? READ THIS.

    Not going to lie I was at a crossroads. Asking myself What is my life? Where am I going? What does school and employment even look like anymore? I did a lot of research and Thinkful was on the pricey side, but ultimately I think I made the best decision. 

    New grads find themselves knowledgable and still unemployed. So, education is hardly a way to find yourself gainfully employed.

    I do believe that a lot of capable and smart individuals find themselves unable to breakthroug...

    Data Analytics Immersion Program

    I enjoyed my time at Thinkful, and had a great career coach that helped me land a job soon after. The only frustrating part of Thinkful is their antiquated career coach module - they need to not only update what will be necessary for resumes and interviewing, but the attitude of the reviewers are too calloused and unhelpful, and led to some of my peers to experience burn out even before the intensive program was finished.

    The program was intensive and sometimes challenging. However, worth it. Success depends on how hard you work. They lead you to move in the right direction, and you push yourself to learn. End of the course, I got my dream job, and all my hard work paid off!

    Digital Marketing Immersion

    There are not enough words for me to describe my experience at Thinkful.

    Before joining, I was very hesitant because I wasn't sure if this was right for me. I'm glad I took the leap of faith and did it. Every part of it was amazing. They told us that many students would quit after the first few weeks because it is an immersion class, but with great teachers, helpful mentors, and supportive classmates, how can you leave? Even the career coaches were amazing on their part. The commu...

    Data Analytics Immersion

    Hello! My story is a little different but I  think it’s still very helpful to give some advice to people like me. I am an immigrant who moved during the COVID-19 quarantine. I wanted to start a new life and I didn’t know what issues I would face, nor where to begin. I’d already had  experience as a professional data analyst. But, I needed to understand the formal culture and how to behave during interviews; communicating with new people; boosting my technical skills; and many other aspec...

    Great experience, full package - just don't treat it like you're guaranteed a job at the end!

    This is a review for the Data Analytics Immersion program that I went through. 

    Overview of their Data Analytics program: This program is roughly divided into 3 parts that each finish with a capstone project, and those parts have multiple modules within them. There is a large section of Excel in the beginning (ends with 1st capstone project), two shorter sections of SQL and Tableau in the middle, a quick refresher on statistics and statistical testing in Excel (2nd capstone projec...

    A challenging, but rewarding experience.

    In 2020, in the midst of COVID-19 lockdowns, I decided it was time for a career change. Having spent the past 9 years as a truck driver, I wanted a chance to learn and grow in a new field, and after some research through CareerKarma, CourseReport, and various other resources, I decided that Thinkful offered me the best chance to make a real change in my life. For my situation, the Income Sharing Agreement with Living Stipend was my best opportunity - the extra monthly income would help m...

    Room for Improvement

    Overall, I give my experience at Thinkful three stars. I am a recent graduate and just now exploring career options, so I can't speak too much about career services. I do want to say that currently there are loads of bootcamp graduates, so you really need a passion in the topic you are studying in order to push past the competitive market and imposter syndrome. I was attending Thinkful during the Covid-19 pandemic, so I had lots of personal life strain that made things difficult at times...
