Bloc Bootcamp Review

Bloc has three levels of programs to prepare people for jobs in web and software development and fits both the complete beginner and the more experience developer who wants to level up their skills.
For those students who are the most serious about learning the craft of software development and getting jobs at the best tech companies, the Software Engineering Track is the best option. It’s 48 weeks full time (72 or 144 weeks part time) and gives the student 2,000 hours of training and practice with the help of seasoned mentors. It has a tuition reimbursement guarantee that reduces the risk of taking the program down to zero as Bloc will refund students’ money in full if they don’t get an offer paying at least $60,000 within 120 days of graduation. (Students must meet a small set of requirements to be eligible for the guarantee.) Bloc has a career services team that works closely with students to help ensure they are prepared to find the job that is right for them. The program costs $24,000 with a wide variety of options for payment plans and partnerships with outside lenders to help manage the financial committment of the program. In the program students learn front end and back end web development, computer science fundamentals such as data structures, algorithms, and complexity to name only a few, and a mentor-guided open-source apprenticeship to help build a real-world experience.
For serious students who want to work as a professional web developer, the Part-Time Web Developer Track is offered, which offers 500 hours of training and practice and prepares students for jobs as Junior Web Developers upon graduation. It teaches both front and back end web development – HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Ruby on Rails – for $8,800. It can be taken on 2 different paces – 27, or 54 weeks and is ultra-flexible and customized to the students needs. There is also an option for Designers. The Designer Track is offered in 3 paces: 24, 36 and 72 weeks and is $9,800. The Designer Track includes almost 1000 hours of training and practice.
For students who want to gain the fundamentals of web development or design, with less investment than the other tracks require, or for professional developers who want to level up their skills in a different area, Bloc offers a handful of courses, including Rails Web Development, Front End Web Development, UX,UI Design, Android Development and iOS Development.
