The Bloc Apprenticeship

“Their one-on-one relationship with a mentor gives them an in – something those beyond the Bay Area don’t always have access to.”

“What makes Bloc different from the likes of Codecdemy? It’s simple: full blown projects, like learning how to build a URL shortener.”

“Bloc’s first students were would-be founders who lacked the technical skills of their own.”

What are others saying about Bloc?

Meet Joanne

“I liked the Bloc curriculum because it was very thorough and having a mentor made learning so much easier and more enjoyable.”

Meet Lawson

“I have my dream job because of Bloc, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend Bloc to anyone else wishing to break into web programming.”

Meet Patty

“[I’ve] fallen totally in love with programming!”

"Bloc has taught me a huge amount in the last 3 months - I have gone from zero backend experience, to being able to implement my own apps. I am now significantly more confident and passionate about programming. Adam, my Mentor, was patient, instructive and supportive throughout - having him available was the best part of the course. "

Meet BrittanyBrittany is a Product Marketer at Readyforce, a San Francisco startup, but hopes to become an entrepreneur.

She'll share her Bloc journey and show you exactly what she built.

Why use the Mentor / Apprenticeship Approach?

Programming is a craft best learned under a watchful eye of an experienced

practitioner. Like any craft, this has been true for thousands of years, and we’re

providing the best platform to make it possible online.

Your mentor is your:

● Partner - not a classroom or cohort. Not a weekly check-in. Pair program like he’s

right next to you.

● Experienced Guide - best practices and tricks-of-the-trade. Teach you to be self-

sufficient, understand what you don’t know, learn to find your own answers

● PM - Ship Projects together. Scope an MVP you can ship in 3 weeks.

● Career Mentor - we don’t promise anything, but mentors sometimes help

students find jobs or freelance gigs right after graduation.
