Coding Temple

I came into the program with some basic HTML knowledge, and what this program really does is it stacks the knowledge on top of each other where you can get to the point of building a static website, a website with functionality, and then building that back end so you can have a database and the website attached to it. The program is very well structured for you to be successful, and they have a very well calendar set up for you to go to events and things that will help you in the long run. This is definitely a challenge. But if you're willing to put in the time to problem solve these complex projects and accept that you're going to go a little crazy figuring out some of these things. Go ahead! Read less

Student Success Managers, like Juan Medina, were a tremendous help during my experience at Coding Temple. He and his colleagues are invaluable assets to the bootcamp, possessing deep knowledge and providing prompt responses. Juan, in particular, worked diligently with me, helping me to learn, understand, and successfully complete my Software Engineering course. Read less

Coding Temple has been a great experience so far not, just in the expansive curriculum but with the live classes and community as well. With instructors like Yessica Sosa and Allen Ahmed that are amazing and very supportive while remaining realistic in their expectations of you to succeed. The amount of resources they supply is endless and very organized, even providing a guided student map to help you map out your workflow. This is not just your traditional learning, in the ever changing landscape of tech, they prepare you to step out into the real world job market. It's not just a course, its a journey and if you follow all the steps and requirements within 4 months and with no experience they will make you a full on developer.

I just graduated from Coding Temple and really enjoyed the program. The instructors were supportive, the lessons were practical, and the projects helped me build confidence. The career team was also super helpful in preparing me for the job search. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to get into tech! Read less

I was routed to Coding Temple through an application I submitted on App Academy’s website. The first person who contacted me was Andy Enright, who represented Coding Temple in the admissions process. The experience was extremely negative: he constantly interrupted me while I tried to ask questions, and at the end of the call he hung up on me.I followed up with several emails to Coding Temple regarding this issue and also requested deletion of my personal data, but I never received a single response. Completely ignoring applicants who raise concerns is unacceptable for an organization that claims to prepare people for professional careers.Between the unprofessional admissions interaction and the lack of accountability or communication afterward, my trust in Coding Temple is very low. I cannot recommend this program based on my experience. Read less

I'm a full-time college student who somehow does coding on the side. When I first enrolled, I thought I had made some huge mistake. I feel like most people would carefully consider a decision that could change their life. I sure didn't. The first few weeks were difficult for me, but I realize now that was probably mostly self-inflicted. Coding Temple is more than a learning course to complete; it's more like taking a journey on a pathway. It's personal for me, running deeply into every aspect of life. I know I'm a ranter, but just bear with me. Now, it's like I might actually have a chance at learning something I didn't think was possible for me. I can actually code! Seeing my progress, as slow as it is, is more than enough to keep me from giving up. I want to explore the possibility of technology and how it can change my life. I have already come into contact with wonderful people and experiences. What will happen next, I wonder? Read less

The curriculum has been thoughtfully designed, and I’ve genuinely enjoyed working through each of the projects. Being able to work at my own pace, with all the necessary resources readily available, has made the learning experience both flexible and effective. Each project has provided a meaningful challenge and an excellent opportunity to benchmark my progress.What truly stands out, though, is the support from the instructors. Daniel Ezaro, Katelyn Mehren, Allan Ahmed, and Yessico Sosa have each played a key role in my success. Even though not all of them were my direct instructors, they’ve never hesitated to offer guidance, whether through one-on-one sessions, project feedback, or just being available when I needed help. It’s clear they’re not only experienced educators but also genuinely invested in student success—always maintaining a positive, encouraging presence while balancing teaching, workshops, and individual support.I'm grateful for their dedication and for the structure of the program that has allowed me to thrive.

This bootcamp was very helpful. My goal was to learn more about programming specifically backend and I now feel much more confident with those skills than I did prior to the bootcamp. I took the backend python specialization and Dylan was super helpful creating videos and hosting live classes that made it much easier to understand the content. The instructors are all very helpful and available to help almost anytime. The curriculum is well laid out and they are constantly evolving the bootcamp experience based off of surveys they offer to students. It is very clear that they want you to succeed and if you are willing to put in the work you will get lots out of it. There is also extensive career search help both during and after you complete the bootcamp. Read less

Overall, this bootcamp has made a great impact on my learning journey. The hands-on projects have helped solidify my understanding of the material. The live sessions are especially valuable and feel like the cherry on top, offering real-time support and clarification that are key to success.What truly makes Coding Temple stand out is the quality of the instructors. I’ve had the opportunity to learn from Yessica Sosa, Daniel Erazo, and Allan Ahmed; all of whom are very professional, well-trained, and capable of breaking down even the most complex topics. Their support and teaching styles have made a real difference.Two areas that could enhance the experience are the use of the Disco platform and the Career Department. Adding more structured content and resources to Disco would make it even more effective for self-paced learning during off hours. Additionally, I feel the Career Department could be improved, as the sessions sometimes feel unproductive and not as focused or impactful as the rest of the program. With a few adjustments, this part of the bootcamp could better match the high standards set by the instructional team.Thank you for providing such a meaningful and challenging learning experience.

Attending Coding Temple has been a great experience on my journey to becoming a software engineer. I'm close to graduation and feel well-prepared for the tech industry thanks to everything I’ve learned here.

I want to thank Steven Ceglarek for being a teacher who helped me learn the curriculum for Software Engineering and the Student Success Team for their continuous support. Yessica Sosa, Daniel Erazo, and Katelyn Mehner have been instrumental in guiding me through career development and interview preparation. Their encouragement and one-on-one support made a huge difference and gave me the confidence to pursue opportunities in the tech field.

Overall, my experience at Coding Temple has been phenomenal. Read less

The instructors in the backend course were excellent. The material was explained clearly and made easy to understand, even for more complex topics. The lessons were well-paced, organized, and focused on real-world skills.The course as a whole was engaging, practical, and very well put together. I came away with a much stronger understanding and feel more confident in my backend development skills. Highly recommend this course and the team behind it! Read less

A lot of people worry about the lines of code in a literal sense when you begin to learn how to code. Coding Temple will course teach you the basics of syntax different languages, but the most important skill to learn, in my opinion, is knowing HOW to approach each problem and breaking it down into manageable chunks. Coding Temple does just that, it will not just teach you how to program, but to think like a programmer as well. Not to even mention the fantastic staff and community! Read less

Coding Temple is a FANTASTIC INSTITUTION for learning technology. Dylan (instructor) was great, and he was there for me all the time. The assignments/projects were indeed challenging, but you actually learn how to code. I have done other boot camps in the past and I didn't learn anything. But with Coding Temple, I actually learned. I encourage Coding Temple for anyone who want to pursue coding. Read less

Enrolling at Coding Temple was one of the best decisions I’ve made for taking my Software Engineering career to the next level.  The program is designed to take students from little or no coding background to becoming job-ready developers, and it does exactly that—efficiently and effectively.

The coursework at Coding Temple is structured to ensure students gain both fundamental and advanced coding knowledge. There was a change in the curriculum and course schedule a month into our cohort- that was an adjustment, but every module builds on the previous one, reinforcing essential skills while introducing new concepts at a manageable pace. Whether it’s front-end development, back-end programming, or mastering databases, each lesson is tailored to make sure students can apply what they learn in real-world scenarios. Coding Temple doesn’t just teach coding—it prepares students for the industry with hands-on projects, collaborative exercises, and interview preparation that ensures we graduate ready to land jobs.

The instructors are knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in their students' success. Among them, one teacher stands out—Dylan Katina, who I had the privilege of learning from in the Backend Specialization. If every educator had Dylan’s passion for teaching, learning would be an incredibly fun and enriching experience for all. His ability to break down complex concepts into digestible lessons is unmatched, and his enthusiasm creates an engaging classroom environment. Dylan not only teaches code—he instills confidence, problem-solving skills, and the drive to keep pushing forward. His support made a world of difference in my journey, and I truly appreciate his impact, that will not be forgotten!

The journey at Coding Temple was fun, challenging, and rewarding. It wasn’t just about learning syntax and algorithms; it was about growth, resilience, and mastering the ability to think like a developer. Anyone looking for a coding bootcamp that will prepare them for the workforce while making the learning process enjoyable should look no further. Coding Temple provides the knowledge, the tools, and the community needed for success.

We do get assigned a career coach that will be helping us, and I have been getting initiated to that process having just fished the bootcamp. The accessibility has been an adjustment to me, for it has not been not the same experience as working with the instructors- but if, in the end, the result is landing a job with said assistance, I'll certainly be a happy camper!   I cannot rate Job Assistance yet to its full potential, but am happy to report back once I've complete my tech-residency- so I have to give it N/A for the time being.  The field as a whole within the job market is rather competitive, so anything to help stand out from the crowd is going to be essential to landing a job fresh out of a bootcamp.  This course is just the start of a career and journey into becoming a software developer- what one does with the knowledge and connections made during the course is up to you!  I'd suggest making all the connections possible, staying close with your classmates, and continue building projects regularly to add to your portfolio to show how capable of an engineer you truly are! 

I highly recommend Coding Temple to anyone considering a career in tech, and if you’re lucky enough to have Dylan Katina as your instructor, you’re in for a phenomenal learning experience.

Coding Temple was one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences I’ve had.
I came in with zero coding knowledge and left confident in building and deploying my own full-stack apps.It definitely wasn’t easy, there were moments that tested my patience and brainpower, but the instructors were always there to support me.Big shoutout to Dylan, who was incredible on the backend side and all throughout the course. He had a knack for instantly spotting what was wrong with my code and never stopped pushing me to improve. And a huge thank you to Allan, who helped me lay a solid foundation and made the basics feel approachable from day one.If you’re willing to put in the work, it absolutely pays off. I’d recommend Coding Temple to anyone serious about starting a dev career. 💻🔥 Read less

Let me paint the picture: You’re broke, hungry for change, and desperate to claw your way into tech. So you sign up for Coding Temple because they promise a job or your money back, right? Wrong.

That guarantee? Riddled with conditions. Miss one check-in, take an extension, apply to the wrong kind of job? Boom—you’re out. No refund. No safety net.

But here’s the part that really stings:
I finish the course. I’m deep in the trenches—LinkedIn’s a war zone, Prentus is a digital graveyard, and every job gets 200+ applications in under 30 minutes. I’m exhausted. Depressed. Unseen.

And what do they tell me to do?
Post. More. Content.
“Keep building in public!”
“Share your wins!”
“Promote your journey!”

Let’s be honest—this isn’t community. It’s marketing.
You’re not building in public—you’re fueling their brand. You're a walking billboard with impostor syndrome. You’re tweeting while wondering if your alumni counselor even has a job themselves.

The people “supporting” you? Most of them are ex-students who didn’t land jobs either, now working back at Coding Temple. What does that tell you?

And it’s not just the vibe—it’s the structure.

You do all the work.
You promote them.
You navigate a collapsing job market.
And if you fail? They still win. You still pay.

This isn’t a pipeline into tech.
It’s a content farm fueled by desperation, disguised as opportunity.

Let me say what no one else here wants to admit out loud: Coding Temple is running a PR machine disguised as a bootcamp.

You’ll scroll through these glowing reviews and see phrases like “changed my life”, “supportive community”, or “learned so much.” Sounds wholesome, right? Ask those same reviewers one question:

Are you actually working in tech now?

Because here’s the uncomfortable truth: many of us were explicitly encouraged to leave glowing reviews—not after getting jobs, but during the bootcamp or right after finishing, when we were still broke, jobless, and holding onto hope like a security blanket.

They know how to weaponize vulnerability. They frame it like “Building In Public” but it’s just bootcamp-induced Stockholm Syndrome.

You’re told to post.
To celebrate your progress.
To keep the hype alive.
Meanwhile, behind the curtain:

The job market is a dystopian nightmare.
The instructors and job counselors? Mostly ex-students who never got jobs in the field.
The job guarantee is booby-trapped with fine print. Read less

This was a great bootcamp and introduction into the realm of software engineering. I had a lot of support from instructors, including them reaching out weekly to just check in and see how I was doing. It was easy to schedule one-on-one time with an instructor and get personalized help. I have learned so much since starting the course and have a better skill set to continue my learning as a software engineer. The best part was the back-end specialization with Dylan Katina. He is a great instructor and I enjoyed the real-world application of everything. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to get into Software Engineering! Read less

My name is Ashley and I am an alumni of coding temple. There are reviews that warn you aways from this institution because there is no job help, there is no support. Believe it. They give a resume temple this I found was oddly similar to one you you can get for free, and tell you to copy it but you are largely on your own.

Additionally, as having to participate in the flex program, I am supposed to have access to my materials. I don't and when I have brought this to their attention they have dodged me everytime and still have not given me access.

Go to udemy. You will save you money and learn valuable skills.  Read less
