We don’t hire the industry’s castoffs. We hire the best to teach the best, accepting only the top applicants. We seek out those with both engineering experience and a passion for teaching.

The smartest way to learn.
Better.
Research shows that 1-on-1 education is the most effective way to learn for most students, so that’s how we work. When you have the full, undivided attention of your mentor, you remember more, you’re more motivated, and your achievement soars.
Faster.
We get it. Learning a whole new language is tough, but the fastest way to learn is when you’re never in it alone. 1-on-1 mentorship means you get support from day one. Somone who’s been there, on-call, to get you unstuck and keep you on track.
Process
Your Career
Learn to Network
You'll begin expanding your professional network after your full admission. We'll help you spend time at the right meetups and events where your future colleagues already hang out.
Master the Interview
Interviewing takes practice, but too often candidates don't prepare. Throughout your course, you'll have five interviews with hiring managers that will test your knowledge and your approach to problem solving. After each mock interview, you will receive a follow-up with feedback for next time.
Find
The Job
Once you graduate you'll be ready for the job hunt, and that's when your Career Coach at Thinkful joins your team. For six months, we'll help you apply to positions near you.
Think outside the classroom
We’re challenging the idea that a quality education can only be achieved in a traditional classroom setting. We think you should work from the environment that suits you best. Whether it’s your local library or the comfort of your couch, your workspace is wherever works for you.
