I am so thankful to Thinkful! Before Thinkful's Data Analytics Immersive I was struggling to land analyst interviews.

UX/UI Design Flex Program
I completed the flex program and I didn’t have the easiest time learning due to the fact that it was all online and I didn’t really get to interact with other students. I wish I had the opportunity to work with engineers for example to better strengthen my design communication for future jobs. However, the staff is quite knowledgeable and helpful. It can be a pretty big learning curve if you have no design background, but I would say it’s really doable. There’s still a lot more to learn ...I completed the flex program and I didn’t have the easiest time learning due to the fact that it was all online and I didn’t really get to interact with other students.

It can be a pretty big learning curve if you have no design background, but I would say it’s really doable.

UX/UI Design Immersion Program
The Thinkful program for UX/UI was amazing. I reviewed many other schools and chose Thinkful because of it's great financing options, and for the scholarship they offered. It is great that Thinkful supports women in tech. The academic success team is very responsive, and the one-on-one mentorship was very helpful. Great post-graduate support as well for the alumnis to land a job. I cannot wait to embark my new journey as a UX Designer! - Tiffany SummerfordTechnical Assistant • GraduateMay 27, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Full Time Software Engineering
The 6-month long program is intensive and packed full of material. I found the full-time program to work best for me as I learn best in a structured environment and don't think I would have done well in a flexible program (as the flex program requires a lot more self-motivation in my opinion). I learned a TON of basics and I feel like Thinkful gave me a great foundation to start a career upon (sometimes I felt like I was learning so much that knowledge was seeping from my pores).

My only recommendation to someone considering this course is (if you're a novice) that you take some basic classes in JavaScript beforehand, so you have better footing for when the program starts. - Ashley HGraduate • Data Analytics Flex • OnlineMay 27, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Pros:
Flexible deadlines

Learned about techniques and tools at the forefront of the field

Needs improvement:
Thinkful Chat is hit or miss on if they actually are helpful. Sometimes they didn’t even understand what my question was.
Need more practice with each module. Instead of just having assignments, it would be great to have an additional ungraded “practice problems” section.
Overall:
This program has been worth it for me. You’re not going to become an expert in these 4-6 months, but you’ll get hands on experience and build a portfolio to get your foot in the door of a new career. - Joey GarciaUX Designer • Modern Web Design • OnlineMay 27, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Had a great experience at Thinkful, they were flexible with my schedule and taught me industry best practices and standards that I now apply to my current job. The mentor system was awesome in keeping me motivated and helping refine my skills as a designer.

Before enrolling in the Digital Marketing Immersion Program with Thinkful, I had been out of school since 2009. I am an avid learner and they facilitated learning daily.

Best Course - very up to date
I finished Thinkful's Fullstack Developer course and loved it. It was full of up to date knowledge and the mentors are so helpful. There were so many resources to help explain content and I was truly prepared after the course to do code tests and really function as a developer. It opened up my interest in programming and now I code every single day at work and building my personal portfolio. It gave me the skills I needed to truly get a leg up in this industry.

Overall a Positive Experience
My experience in the UX/UI design flex program was overall really great and definitely worth the money. It was difficult to work full time while completing the program at the same time, but it is doable. The more effort you put into the program, the more you'll get out of it. My mentor always had good feedback, and the career coach after I graduated provided invaluable resources that really helped in finding positions to apply to.
