Treehouse does not allow students to buy access to individual courses; instead, the company offers a subscription-based model. There are three different levels to choose from, all of which offer a seven-day free trial:
The first two levels are self-guided, as in you select the courses you wish to take. The first level is “Basic” and is designed to provide an introduction to coding, with practice sessions and access to videos and the online community. The second level is “Pro”, which as well as everything included for “Basic” subscribers, offers additional content and features. The third level is the most advanced and is referred to as a curated “coding bootcamp”, with a specific syllabus to follow; known as “Techdegree”, it includes everything found in the first two levels, project creation, portfolio building, and support from staff members of Treehouse.
As you would expect given the difference between each level, the prices vary significantly. “Basic” is available for £20 per month; “Pro” for £40 per month, and “Techdegree” for $199 – for some reason, this price is in dollars, despite everything else being shown in pounds. At the time of writing, $199 per month works out at around £153 per month.
All three levels should be of interest to anyone hoping to enter the tech industry. What’s more, given the impressive specialisation the courses offer and the prestige of Treehouse as an institution, they should realistically be considered capable of offering excellent value for money.
