    Fulling and rewarding journey

    After losing my job because of COVID-19 last May I had to decide my next course of action. I’m grateful that Thinkful contacted me about their courses and what they offered. I was immediately interested in the Digital Marketing Flex Program and enrolled. What transpired over the next 3 months was nothing short of fascinating, challenging, and totally awe-inspiring. I learned things totally new that I never thought of before and propelled me to think and operate totally differently. All o...

    Just finished New York Boot Camp

    I enrolled in Think Academy because of their positive image online in reviews and otherwise.  Prior to this, I spoke with with other bootcamps that gave me this sales pitch and it just didn’t feel right with Think Academy it was more  human.

    After searching and months of research I decided I wanted to talk to someone at think academy. Me and Richard had been talking through emails about the program for some time now. So I finally agreed to setup an Skype one on...

    Brought me up to speed in weeks

    I just finished up with Think Academy in NYC at the beginning of this journey I was very new to coding itself. I am a true beginner. I was between a learning online or at NYC brooklyn campus and did a lot of research to see what would be best for me. The cost, length of course and if I had enough time in my day to dedicate 3 months to learning to code. Richard was our professor he is a superb mentor and teacher.  He has been doing c# dev for a considerable amount of time, so I ...

    2 Months in

    I have been a student at Think Academy for about 2 months, most of that time was spent studying and coding part-time. In that time, I have gone from knowing nothing about code, to experimenting coding whole apps, and Richard has started getting me in contact with recruiters regularly. So far its been great learning experience really appreciate my group of fellow students.

    What are you waiting for

    I did the .net course and Rich is extremely helpful. I'm not a coding genius so he helped me through a lot of the problems. If i had trouble, I would stay after class and ask him questions. I was so discouraged because I couldn't get anything on the first try but he kept pushing me to do better and I graduated and in the final stages for about 5 interviews with companies!

    Thanks Rich!!

    Great Experience

    My experience has been great. The class was located in Brooklyn, Dumbo district which was nice but my commute was not good from where I live. I didn't have a lot of experience coding before I started so I Richard sent me Some HTML and CSS courses he had written as a pre req before starting. It's been a month since I graduated and I just got a junior job. Richard connected me with some previous recruiters in NYC that he has used before and they where OK but sometimes I felt like I would nev...

    The most helpful

    The Front end developer course is very helpful. I am an entry level developer looking to make a career change into coding and have been looking into bootcamps and online courses to get started. Think Academy has a clear and concise outline of all the topics that they teach. Beginners like myself would have an easy time learning if they put in the effort. I've tried and started many other online courses but Think Academy keeps you into the material and keeps it interesting. I've already rec...

    Remote Engineering Flex Program
