The school has plenty of options.

Shifting to a new career might sound intimidating, and you may not even know if the bootcamp path is right for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thinkful has room for anyone that\u2019s committed to making a change, as long as they meet a few basic requirements. And it doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re an absolute beginner or someone with years of experience looking to take the next step in your career. You\u2019re welcome to become part of the Thinkful family and seek a higher salary, greater flexibility, or a more rewarding job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-thinkful-admissions-checklist\">Thinkful Admissions Checklist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we\u2019ve mentioned above, there are only a few basic requirements for anyone that wants to join the Thinkful family.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Select programs may have additional requirements. But for the vast majority, as long as you are motivated to learn, you\u2019ll be successful with Thinkful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have to be ready to commit to the program. You have to be prepared to give the course the proper attention that it deserves. You\u2019ll be entering the program where you\u2019ll be paying to learn, and it\u2019s important that you know you can afford the time commitment that it requires.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should be excited to join a community. Thinkful pairs its students with mentors and coaches to give them career advice and technical knowledge as they work through the program. But students will also be joining a cohort where they\u2019ll work towards a common goal with their classmates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll grow most effectively if you participate in this community, as you deepen your understanding by explaining concepts to peers and learn from people that are grasping material at the same time as you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in order to be eligible, you have to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Be at least 18 years old.<\/li><li>Have at least a high school diploma, a GED, or a diploma from an accredited higher learning institution.<\/li><li>Be proficient in written and spoken English.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Demonstrate operating proficiency on a computer.<\/li><li>Demonstrate the ability to manage your time, communicate effectively, and accept constructive criticism.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you meet these basic requirements, then you\u2019re a qualified admissions candidate at Thinkful. But how do you know if you\u2019re personally ready to take the leap into a Thinkful course?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-thinkful-program-for-everyone\">A Thinkful Program for Everyone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"850\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/A-Thinkful-Course-for-Everyone_.jpg\" alt=\"Infographic covering student scenarios\" class=\"wp-image-33393\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thinkful is committed to meeting people at different stages of their lives. If you\u2019re a recent college grad, several years into your career, with or without kids, or looking to earn a promotion in your field, Thinkful has an option that will fit your needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-paths-to-success\">Paths to Success<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thinkful students come from all age groups, and from many different backgrounds. If you\u2019re looking for a route to a stable career, you\u2019ll appreciate Thinkful\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkful.com\/tuition-refund-guarantee\/?utm_source=careerkarma&amp;utm_campaign=careerkarma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">guaranteed refund<\/a>. Here are a few common situations that lead Thinkful students to the program of their choice.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-i-just-completed-high-school-and-i-m-looking-for-college-alternatives\">I Just Completed High School and I&#8217;m Looking for College Alternatives<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Some Thinkful students are 18-year-old high school graduates, who are entering the program instead of pursuing a traditional higher education path. You may be uncomfortable with the rising cost of higher education, or simply prefer the idea of training for a new job in a shorter amount of time. Regardless of why you want to attend the program, Thinkful can help.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of committing to two to four years of education that may not lead directly to a career, Thinkful allows you to take a different route. You can start working in the exploding tech job market after just a few short months of dedicated study. If you decide you want to go to college later, then that door will always be open. But this way, you\u2019ll be in a good position to land a meaningful career as you figure things out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-i-have-a-degree-and-i-want-more-career-focused-skills\">I Have a Degree and I Want More Career-Focused Skills<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you decided college was right for you, and you want to come to Thinkful to round out your skillset. After all, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.burning-glass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beyond_Point_Click_final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">many fields<\/a> including engineering, science, and design, value coding skills in new employees. Added coding prowess can also mean higher earning potential if you\u2019re working in this field in the long term.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you like the idea of increasing your job prospects, but you\u2019re not sure if you want to commit to postgraduate education, Thinkful could be right for you. After just a few months of study, you may be able to add $10,000 or more to your salary without taking too much time away from the job market. And potential employers will look highly on applicants that have shown a commitment to learning and growing their skillset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-i-m-already-working-but-i-want-a-new-job\">I\u2019m Already Working But I Want A New Job&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Career changers make up a large portion of any bootcamp\u2019s attendees, and Thinkful is no different. This is a great time for people with limited advancement options to invest in themselves. The Bureau of Labor Statistics expects the software development job market to grow by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/Computer-and-Information-Technology\/Software-developers.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">22 percent<\/a> by 2029.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies are looking to increase their online offerings, as consumers are <a href=\"https:\/\/unctad.org\/news\/covid-19-has-changed-online-shopping-forever-survey-shows\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">purchasing online<\/a> more often. Students are still attending classes online, and many businesses are starting to think about adding more permanent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2020\/06\/22\/870029658\/get-a-comfortable-chair-permanent-work-from-home-is-coming\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">work-from-home<\/a> measures for employees. Someone has to build out and maintain the architecture for these initiatives, as well as analyze the data and make sure that the products coming to market serve consumer needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s space for new employees in tech, and you can start working your way up without going the traditional higher education route. There\u2019s no promise that you\u2019ll find the job of your dreams after graduating Thinkful. But if you\u2019re in a situation where you\u2019re tired, bored, unfulfilled, and underpaid, this could be the route to a better life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-i-m-already-working-and-i-want-a-promotion\">I\u2019m Already Working and I Want a Promotion<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You may already be working a job you enjoy, but want to add more skills to advance your career. Maybe you\u2019re already developing software, but think that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkful.com\/bootcamp\/ux-ui\/?utm_source=careerkarma&amp;utm_campaign=careerkarma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">UX\/UI design<\/a> skills can make you more well-rounded. Maybe you want to add <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkful.com\/bootcamp\/digital-marketing\/?utm_source=careerkarma&amp;utm_campaign=careerkarma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">marketing<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkful.com\/bootcamp\/technical-project-management\/?utm_source=careerkarma&amp;utm_campaign=careerkarma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">technical project management<\/a> skills to show executives you\u2019re ready for more responsibility.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever your motivation, Thinkful bootcamps can help you land the promotion that you\u2019ve been dreaming of. After adding those additional skills, you\u2019ll actually stand out more than many other promotional candidates because you\u2019ll already know how the organization ticks more than an outsider.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And you don\u2019t have to worry about leaving your job behind as you try to advance. Every Thinkful course offers a part-time option where you can finish your coursework on your own schedule. If you can commit 20-30 hours per week depending on your program, you can keep up with your normal work schedule while improving your job outlook.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some employers will even reward your initiative by partially or fully covering the cost of your Thinkful bootcamp. So if you\u2019re thinking of trying to advance your station with Thinkful\u2019s help, you may not even have to pay for it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ready-set-go\">Ready, Set, Go!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do have to pay for your Thinkful bootcamp, you have plenty of options. The school offers several payment plans that can help you afford the cost of your career change. Aside from the month-to-month, deferred tuition, private loans, and income share agreement options, Thinkful recently introduced a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkful.com\/blog\/deferred-tuition-living-expenses\/?utm_source=careerkarma&amp;utm_campaign=careerkarma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">Deferred Tuition with Living Expenses<\/a> plan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new plan, along with the school\u2019s Income Share Agreement With Living Stipend plan, gives students a chance to make a switch without the added stress of paying tuition while learning. If you\u2019re concerned about paying for your Thinkful program, your Admissions Rep will help you find the right payment plan for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re motivated to launch a new career, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkful.com\/how-we-work\/?utm_source=careerkarma&amp;utm_campaign=careerkarma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">schedule a call<\/a> with an Admissions Rep today.\u00a0You can also check this in-depth <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/thinkful\/\">Thinkful review<\/a> to learn more about this fantastic school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You may have already found the bootcamp of your dreams on the Thinkful website.
