From our alumni

“I was able to learn to become a smart designer and to gain the confidence I needed to leave my job and pursue a career in UX/UI Design. Now, I'm working as a contractor for two different design agencies of varying sizes from the comfort of my own home - something I didn't think was possible a year ago.”
Renee Fowler Now a UX/UI Design Consultant at Project6 Design

“I had reached a plateau in my career, was not feeling challenged and needed a change in direction. Looking at the job market, and seeing the careers of greatest need, I applied to bloc and the rest is history.”
Belindah Jones Now a UX/UI Developer at Capital One

“The kindness and steadiness of the entire Bloc team, from admissions to job placement, is unmatched. It's truly a community that cares about its students and their success.” Joshua Nickels Now a Product Designer at Brighter Vision
“The student success team, along with the folks on Slack, allow me to access resources upon request or a quick search. If you are a dedicated student, Bloc has you covered.”
Chris Chung

“Support is always available. When enrolling you will have access to slack which is like one big chatroom full of help. So if you message your mentor and they aren't available, ask your question on Slack and someone always answers rather quickly. I love that if I don't find a PAYING position within 6 months of graduating from Bloc, that they will refund my entire tuition.”
