Subject
For millennia, highly-skilled crafts have been taught in an apprenticeship model.
Technical skills, like web or mobile development, are no exception.
Very few possess the learning style and habits needed to truly self-teach a new craft.
Most require persistent mentorship from an experienced practitioner to facilitate their
skill development.

BUILD REAL APPS
Every Bloc course has a comprehensive, 100% original curriculum that
exposes students to the daily challenges of a professional developer.
Students don’t waste time doing exercises or watching videos -- after
learning the basics, they’re off building real, fully-functional apps.
Learn the basics by building a guided project.
Then build your capstone and a portfolio of apps.

Bloc provides an integrated experience of structure and support. Program
coordinators help students stay on track and on-call mentors are available in
an office hours chat room for live help between mentor appointments.
EMPLOYABLE SKILLS
The goal of Bloc is to have you graduate with an technical skillset and
portfolio of work to demonstrate your skills.
As an online program, we can uniquely provide alumni with continued
access to our community and most up-to-date curriculum.
