If Bloc.io was actually what it was advertised as it would be well worth it. Unfortunately, Bloc.io used free internet resources to make you figure out their small bits of information. You have a weekly review with a mentor for half an hour who doesn't know half of the things that are being taught. If you ask for help, they refer you to things like "Freecodingcamp.org" which you should deff use instead, imo. They don't have video instruction unless you attend a live group chat, and the info is from 2015... so you have to find outdated coding videos that aren't even teaching the way they code things now. When I made it to the final step of the UX fundamentals portion of the program, I had not acquired the skills to perform the task that they were asking of me. The same goes for much of the information provided in each individual checkpoint leading up to it. Their point is that I should figure it out, but my point was that I was paying them TO TEACH ME. If I was gonna have to figure it out... I would have done it using free resources. Not signed a student loan for 10k. Oh, and if you think that 8 months is enough time, it's not, you will need to spend every waking moment you have doing Bloc.io if you do not have any prior coding skills to finish within their time frame. You think, it's fine, I'll just extend for a couple weeks after, good luck. You have to do it at the cost of 2k plus 6 week chunks. Good luck if you choose this company.
