Certificate
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.

MENTORSHIP
Mentors are the heart and soul of Bloc.
Your mentor acts as:
● A coach providing insight into the
best way to tackle a problem
● An experienced guide to help you
when you get stuck
● A career mentor sharing years of
industry insight and experience
DESIGN 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 designing real apps
Learn the basics by building a guided project.
Then build your capstone and a portfolio of apps.
