Bloc is an online coding bootcamp and education platform that offers online bootcamps designed to help students secure a lifelong career in tech. Bloc was acquired by Thinkful in 2012 and has since helped many students build a lucrative tech career.

Bloc programs offered include a web developer track and web designer track in software engineering and UX/UI design respectively. Bloc online offers these development and design bootcamps to make learning real-world skills easier and more convenient. The types of programs Bloc offers will help students become job-ready designers and developers in just a few weeks, but be prepared for the Bloc bootcamp cost.

Bloc online web development costs $16,000 for full-time students and $9,500 for part-time students. On the other hand, students in the UX/UI designer Bloc program pay $12,150 for full-time studies and $9,500 for the part-time option. Full-time bootcamps require around 50 hours per week while part-time courses span between 20 to 30 hours per week and are self-paced learning-based.

Bloc payment options include month-to-month payments, an upfront payment, and a Bloc deferred tuition and living expenses plan. This coding bootcamp also offers a scholarship fund to provide financial aid to specific students. Bloc scholarships include the women's scholarship and veterans’ scholarship. Both these programs award $600 to qualified students.

Students who've completed Bloc programs have access to career services designed to propel students into a promising job in tech. However, there are no Bloc job placement opportunities since its parent organization, Thinkful, also has no recorded job placements.

If you’re considering enrolling in a Bloc bootcamp but are worried your current knowledge on the subject is lacking, Bloc offers bootcamp prep courses. Interested students can use the free practice questions and quizzes offered on Thinkful's website. Bloc bootcamp prep programs introduce students to coding and are ideal for students on a budget, as they are free.

Bloc online bootcamps are excellent if you want to break into tech.
