Feedback BloomTech encourages critical thought, discourse, and feedback from our Learners, including reflections on the school itself, our policies, or anything else. We value Learner feedback and welcome it anytime via a support ticket in the Hub, communication with staff and instructors, and others. Please note that while learners may choose to talk to a staff member or instructor, support tickets in The Hub are the official means of communication regarding feedback or a concern. GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS Students must pass the requirements for each sprint in order to progress to the next sprint. Students are considered a “graduate” once they have received a passing grade for every sprint in their program. Students must complete these requirements and satisfy the hours for their program within the maximum time allotted for program completion (960 hours for Web & DS, 1440 for Backend, and 150 for Web3). Students that meet these requirements will be issued a Certificate of Completion from Bloom Institute of Technology for program completion within 60 days of graduation. A test-out process is available for students who qualify. Students should submit a Support Ticket to inquire about testing out or to initiate the process.
