Questions

Frequently asked

How do I get the $7,500 rate?

Pay your tuition in full before day one, either upfront in a single payment, or a $500 deposit with the balance settled before classes start. Both qualify for the discount.

UX/UI is one of the highest-demand skills in tech, with entry-level designers earning roughly $50,000 to $80,000. Between two portfolio capstones and 12 months of career support, ThinkLab is built to get you hired, and to pay for itself quickly once you are.

The complete 10-week program: approximately 440 hours of live, hybrid instruction, two portfolio capstones, an AI-native curriculum, and 12 months of career support. One price, no hidden add-ons.

What credit score do I need for financing?

We evaluate applications across a range of credit profiles. A cosigner can strengthen your application. We start with a check that won't affect your score.
