S.F. startup Bloc offers a new way to learn coding online

by Angela Swartz, San Francisco Chronicle


While online courses through Coursera, Code Academy, Udacity, Udemy and others have gained popularity recently, one San Francisco education startup is breaking the model. Bloc is a 12-week online apprenticeship designed to teach the fundamentals of Web development, using a mentor for guidance. Students pay a fee ranging from $4,250 to $6,000, depending on the repayment plan. An online mentor provides weekly one-on-one counseling and helps overcome academic or technical hurdles.
