Thinkful vs. General Assembly: A Detailed Course Comparison

Take a look at these two popular schools and how their courses, career services, and job outcomes compare.

Thinkful vs. General Assembly

Thinkful and General Assembly are both education platforms with a similar goal: to help people around the world kickstart a career in tech. Both offer programs that aim to produce hirable graduates that are ready for entry-level roles in their field of study. However, with variations in courses, curriculums, support, and pricing, the two offer very different student experiences.


Thinkful offers five-month, full-time courses and six-month, part-time courses for a range of tech career paths. All of them are exclusively online. Part-time courses are predominantly independent study and offer a more flexible schedule, while full-time courses provide an immersive community learning experience. Students are paired with an experienced mentor for live 1:1 sessions and also receive multiple forms of career support.


General Assembly provides courses both online and on campus, with locations in London, Manama, New York City, Paris, Singapore, and Sydney. Its offerings include its Full-Time Immersive, Flex Immersive, and Part-Time course structures, all of which cover a range of tech fields. Students work to produce real-world portfolio projects that they can show to future employers, and receive career support from a dedicated coach. Instructors are available during class and office hours to assist with coursework.
