Hi Doktrin, I'm also one of the guys tutoring at Bloc.

We don't make any assumptions about your skill level. We'll take any motivated person, and come up with a plan that will challenge them. Whether or not that includes Hartl tutorial is actually up to the individual mentor teaching the cohort.

We put a ton of time into each cohort. It is basically our full time job to make sure each and every person gets as much as possible out of the course. We typically have somewhere like 15+ of office hours a week. For most of the course, we basically coach you as you build real projects of your choosing.

Thanks for elaborating on your program, Hani. 15 weekly office hours is a great resource. I'm also glad to hear that your program can be tailored to the needs of the students. I'll doubtlessly have some more granular follow up questions, but will address them over email (if you prefer).
What is the start date for the next class?
