Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 4,934 PointsI'm currently doing a Techdegree, I don't think you get any extra videos. But what you do get is assignments/coursework which are graded by professional developers, personal video tutorial sessions, a structured course, access to a slack channel with loads of other like minded learners to help you learn. I would highly recommend it, been very helpful getting feedback on my code, and discussing issues with others etc.

As for addressing questions as you progress through content and projects, we have active Slack channels dedicated to each Techdegree where teachers, code-reviewers, mentors, Support and other like-minded students actively engage in discussion and aiding one another. It's been amazing to see how helpful and active students have been helping and encouraging one another.
Drop us a line at help@teamtreehouse.com if you have any additional questions or concerns about the Techdegree program, we'll be happy to assist!

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 4,934 PointsI think you get three personal video sessions a month, of about 30mins each. Normally if you are having problems, you can discuss it in the Slack chatroom and either another student or tutor will be able to help you.

6,718 PointsHi Callum!
I hope that you are well! Thank you for putting up this post. I am very interested in the techdegree but my main concern is the cost and the Return On Investment - I don't want to spend $4000 on a useless piece of paper.
I have a couple of questions:
1) Are the videos different to the tracks that treehouse already have? If so how are they different? 2) Do you feel that doing the tech degree has made you more confident as coder? In what ways? 3) How helpful are the mentors/community? How are they different from the mainstream community we have here? 4) What type of projects does the tech degree have you doing? Are they easy or complicated? 5) Do you feel that the techdegree will make you more job ready?
A lot of people who are commenting on the tech degree are not actually doing it and I haven't seen many people who are on it put a lot of comments so your feedback is invaluable. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post and I look forward to your feedback!
