The staff at Max are exceptional. All of them go out of their way to help you and make sure you have the tools for success. The curriculum is interesting and the hands-on learning approach to code helps the lessons stick in your mind and keeps you engaged. -

I could not recommend MAX Technical Training enough...from day one I knew that they were behind me. From learning the ins and outs of several different workable languages, to being career coached by a well-respected individual in the job hunting community...MAX is the place to be! -

Wonderful Experience

Attending MAX Technical Training was one of the best decisions I ever made. Every member of their staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgable, and helpful through your entire journey.
Greg Doud, my instructor, was excellent and made learning to code a lot of fun every day. If you want to learn from one of the best, I highly recommend his instruction.
The journey really begins once you graduate. Annette Ballard went above and beyond for me in helping me land a job in a pandemic. Her expertise and attention to detail is outstanding.
If you are looking around for the right bootcamp, you can stop your search. Attend MAX Technical Training! -

I eagerly recommend MAX Technical Training for anybody looking to start a career in coding in the Greater Cincinnati area. A wide variety of technologies are taught with a culminating capstone project that showcases all the work you put in over weeks. Beyond classes taught by skilled and experienced instructors, MAX offers career services to ensure that you aren't alone the moment you graduate - through their help, I am launching my career and very eager to take the skills I've learned into the workforce. -

Amazing Experience
Read more Read less of Tanya's review
I was very happy with my education at MAX for several reasons.
First, Max Technical Training has an amazing team of educators who deliver the information in a very accurate, interesting, and digestible way. Honestly, our classes were much more than instructions - they were pure joy and a huge part of that was due to the expertise and charisma of our instructors: Greg Doud, Sean Blessing, and Annette Ballard! We had several outstanding guest speakers, too!
I can't but mention that our cohort benefited a lot from the implemented individual approach to educating bootcampers. Undoubtedly, having approachable and helpful instructors greatly contributed to my and other students' success.
Moreover, the educational program is well-balanced, thought through and very valuable - all the concepts I was educated are in demand by my current employer, which makes the knowledge and skills I acquired at Max 100% applicable at my job.
Finally, in-person education at Max Technical Training during the 2020 pandemic felt very safe! -

Full-Time .NET Developer Bootcamp

It works.
It’s been a little over 4 months since I graduated from MAX Technical Training, and these 4 months have been awesome because I’ve been working as an application developer.
I’ve always wanted to get into programming, tried researching online, took multiple online courses, but never felt like I truly understood it.
Working through the bootcamp each day and studying/ practicing at night, along with help from my fellow classmates and instructor I made it.
Yes, it was a lot of information, but it was structured in a practical manner.
Yes, it was a lot of hard work, but it all payed off.
I think if you’re interested in becoming a software developer, you should try it out on your own, and see if it’s something you’re going to like.
Then ask yourself if you honestly like to learn. This I believe is going to make or break you in the bootcamp and in your new career.
If you think that’s you then start researching, I recommend people to check out free code camp, I think it’s a good area to start.
MAX also hosts the .NET meetup every month, you could go and meet actual software developers.
The reason I chose MAX was because they’re rooted in the city, very well connected with local companies and is literally an IT learning hub.
Now for the dirty details. There was free food throughout the whole day during the bootcamp, and free pizza once a week. Everyone I kept in contact with from the bootcamp all got jobs. Only 2 of them had degrees, neither was in computer science. I about tripled my income, the week after the bootcamp when I got hired. The money was on par with MAXs estimations. -

Max Technical Training takes the daunting process of learning the skills necessary to become an employable software developer and demystifies the experience. Their team of industry veterans and professionals covers every element necessary to land you a job quickly after graduation. My class was taught mostly by Sean Blessing. He was as dedicated and passionate a teacher as any. Career counseling services were an integral part of the experience as well, from technical interview practice to resume writing and networking events. I have nothing but high praise for this program and the team of professionals who administer it.

I found MAX/Cincy Code IT on Reddit, probably on r/coding, while I was in Denver. Lisa Slutsky helped me through the process of getting in and three weeks later, I was driving across the country to attend this bootcamp! From the begining, I was wildly impressed with the instructor, Sean Blessing. He really wanted us to succeed and he helped us by coming in early to class, and staying late. The entire staff at MAX is amazing. Super helpful and friendly! We did Scrum training towrds the end of the bootcamp with Chuck Suscheck. That is training that I would not have had if I had gone to a different bootcamp. Greg Doud was our front-end instructor. He was very good, he knows Angular really well and helped us with our captone projects. I am really glad I chose MAX. I got a job doing database work for Kroger before the bootcamp ended. That would not have happened if it wasn't for MAX.

I hesitated about trying a coding boot camp, but I'm very glad I did.

Cincy Code IT was what I needed to transition to a .Net developer from an older technology. Some of the topics covered were not entirely new to me, but even those I learned things I did not know. The instructor was very helpful. The in class exercises (both individual and group) gave us a good chance to practice what we were studying.
In addition to the technical knowledge, we had Lisa getting us ready for the job hunt. Then she worked with us to make it a success.
Was it time-consuming? Hard work? Challenging? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely!

Positive Experience/Positive Job Assistance
Read more Read less of Ame Moore's review
I graduated the Java Bootcamp in summer of 2017. It was a huge decision for me to quit a job, enroll in the bootcamp, and start a new career. The bootcamp itself was a good experience. My instructor was Sean Blessing. He is a natural teacher and really cares about each student's learning experience. Sean's real-world experience as a developer and manager provided practical insight - helpful during the job search as well as at a new job. I started with no previous tech knowledge or experience other than a bit of HTML/CSS. Yes it is very hard work, but now I am in a job as a developer where I get to learn all day. Speaking of jobs, I would not have this position without Lisa Slutsky (career manager). And I mean that quite literally. Lisa is relentless about helping each graduate find a position. She has a great reputation and great network of connections in the Cincinnati area. The two go hand in hand, education and job assistance. I am glad I attended and made the change. I would certainly recommend to anyone ready to make the leap.

Java Bootcamp Was The Right Choice

After I was laid off from my previous job, I was desperately in need of some career direction and networking. Enter MAX Technical Training / Cincy Code IT to the rescue. Through attending the Java Bootcamp, I was able to pivot my Technology career back into Software Development and discover the necessary career management skills to eventually land a new position.
Thanks to everyone at MAX Technical Training / Cincy Code IT for the assistance and advice!

I cannot thank the staff from Max Train / Cincy Code IT enough for the high quality education I received and for helping me land a job as a software engineering BEFORE MY BOOT CAMP EVEN ENDED!
If you are serious about starting a career as a software developer this is the place to go. The return on investment is well worth the price tag.

Good Stuff
Read more Read less of Thomas Beck's review
Definitly a good stepping stone for anyone wanting to learn how to program. Instructors know their subject well, and are genuinely interested in their students understanding the subject matter. You won't find a better way to break into software development in 10 weeks with their bootcamps. They take care to supplement your learning with lectures and events that inprove soft skills, like networking and team work. Definitly would not have got a job without them.

As a recent Cincy Code IT graduate, I highly recommend this program to anyone who is considering making a career switch into IT. Both Dr. Suschek and Sean Blessings are extremely knowledgeable and very helpful, and care very much about their students success. The bootcamp is definitely not for the faint of heart however, and my reccomendation to any new students would be to stay patient and positive, as learning any new programming language is going to be challenging albeit rewarding. All in all I would rate this bootcamp 5 stars. They have the talent and the resources to help anyone considering a career switch into IT, obtain that entry level position.

Full Stack Dev

This is a great program. Turned my life completely around and now I’m working as a full stack developer in Cincinnati. Instructors are on point and go above and beyond to make sure students understand the material. It is hard work and like most things you get as much as you put into it. Staff is supportive even well after the program is complete. Software development is not for everyone, but if you feel you have what it takes then this is the program you want.

Best decision!
Read more Read less of Sara's review
I decided to change careers when I discovered my passion for development. I thought a bootcamp would be the best way for me to build credibility and refine my skills. I did hours and hours of research on various national bootcamps and was even prepared to live apart from my husband for a few months to get the experience. When I found Cincy Code It, I was thrilled - I could pursue my goal in my own city!
I was self-taught for almost a year by the time the bootcamp started. I felt well prepared for the first couple weeks - some of the material was a review, but I was still able to fill in the gaps in my knowledge that I didn't even know existed. After that, the work became more challenging. Dr. Suscheck did a great job of providing assignments that became gradually more difficult to accomodate students at varying levels of comfort with the material. The daily work was a combination of individual, paired and group work, which I think prepared me well for real team interactions in the working world. Overall, Dr. Suscheck was a fantastic teacher. He is extremely knowlegable and cares about each individual's success.
In addition to building skills, the bootcamp also provided a much-needed, supportive community. It's critical to have encouragement from peers, and to know people going through this experience just like you. After teaching myself for so long, learning with a group of people was refershing. Hearing their questions and ideas in the classroom helped me learn better. It was also great to meet alumni, and to see that it is possible to be hired and be successful after the program!
For me, the ultimate reason for the bootcamp was to land a job, and the career support I received at Max was top-notch. Only five minutes into my first conversation with Lisa, she already had suggestions for what companies might be interested in my background and fit what I was looking for. She helped me get more comfortable with networking, gave me a confidence boost before interviews, and always had practical advice to offer. Having her in my court during my job search was really valuable.
Cincy Code It is a real asset to the tech community in Cincinnati. I would recommend it to anyone who is passionate about transitioning into software development. Just remember that it's not a magic bullet; it's a stepping stone. Keep working on your own side projects to reinforce the material you learn in class. Learn other languages. Not only will that give you a better handle on the material, it will also give you a nice little portfolio to show employers at the end of the bootcamp!
I'm almost 2 months into my first role as a software developer, and my new job is everything I was hoping for. I love that I get to solve problems and learn new things every day. Joining the Cincy Code It bootcamp is the best career decision I've ever made!

JAVA Bootcamp

I was given the opportunity to join the JAVA Bootcamp as part of a new pilot for my work. I didn't know what to expect out of the program as I had not heard of it before and I went into it with a mindset to learn something. To give a background about my technical skills, I had always been interested in technology and had done some self guided courses but I knew that I had a lot of gaps in knowledge. This course was so comprehensive that I was not only able to fill the gaps in my knowledge but learned how to do the things I knew much more efficiently.
All of the staff at the MaxTrain facility was wonderful and worked hard to make the bootcampers feel at home. Dr. Suscheck the instructor was beyond knowledgable and even with a full class would try to make sure everyone was able to learn. He even went as far as providing additional more challenging work for those who grasped things quicker in order to challenge them and further their understanding of the concepts. There was never a time where I felt bored or helpless because he explained the concepts in an interesting and easy to understand way. He also fostered a great collaboration environment so that you learn what you can accomplish working together. This is a very comprehensive class that leaves you with a great foundation to work off of and real usable skills that you can apply instantly in java development.

I attended the JAVA bootcamp through my work as a way to jumpstart a new career. I went in apprehensive about how much I would learn in 8 weeks, but I was wrong. It was a great program with exceptional instruction from Dr. Suscheck. He strived to make sure everyone had something to work on and challenge them, no matter their skill level. I had taken a couple JAVA classes in college and did not learn nearly as much as I did in this bootcamp. I feel I have a very good grasp on the concepts and tools to help me succeed in my new career. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in a new career in JAVA development.

I attended the Java Bootcamp from March - April in 2016 and I just have to say what an amazing experience it was. Chuck Suscheck was an absolutely wonderful instructor and did a fantastic job of making sure every student got the individual attention they needed. Whether it be someone struggling with the basics or keeping the more advanced students engaged after they finished the assigned work he did a fantastic job at all of it. Even when students were finishing all of the assigned work he was able to come up with more difficult exercises to keep them busy while the others caught up. I highly recommend the Java bootcamp to anybody looking to start a career in Java Programming.

.NET Bootcamp

The Cincy Code IT boot camp was more than just a class it was a way to get a career. First the instructor was great. He knew so much that there was never a question that he couldn’t answer. He was clear with his lectures and never condescending. Second the “job mom”, Lisa, helped us with resume building, facilitating meet and greets where prospective employers do interviewing on site, LinkedIn profile building, and in my case job placement. Other amenities provided were laptops, books, and they even kept us fed with snacks and drinks throughout the day. Life’s too short to spend four years trying to keep up with technology instead of experiencing bleeding edge technology and being able to use it in real life within a few weeks of completion of this class.

This bootcamp was a lot of fun, I learned a great deal of information in our 9 weeks together in class. Coming from a completely different background than IT I found the class material to be challenging and rewarding to learn the full stack .Net development and was very excited to find a job within a couple weeks of completion to start my new career as a programmer. The Instructor is great and will take his time with each and every student to make sure you understand things you may be struggling with. The rest of the staff is very friendly as well. I would recommend this course to anyone with the desire to change their career and learn some really valuable skills

Amazing and Instructive Class

I was part of the 2013 .NET Developer Bootcamp class, and I can say it has helped change my career. I joined with only a Degree in Marketing, with no knowledge of coding, and now I'm working with a great company and using the coding knowledge that I learned here.
The teacher was amazing an helped me learn a lot. The learning curve was a struggle for me but my teacher helped me stick with it and understand the issues I was struggling with.
The staff was great as well, free breakfast everymorning, and everyone was super nice and helpful.
I was already placed at a job before I started this class, but some of my other classmates were not. The staff there worked hard to help find jobs for my other classmates that didn't have them!
I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Great course
Read more Read less of Ian's review
The course is designed to take someone with no technical skills and turn them into a programmer. It does just that. Over the course of three months you will learn to read, write and debug code.
Think of this as jump starting your coding career. Once you get a job in IT and start working, you will quickly realize that there is a mountain of knowledge out there you don't yet know, but that's okay. Programming is an ever-changing world that requires constant learning.
I did not have a computer science degree nor had I ever written a line of code before this course. I entered the course having only been an end user. I left knowing java and got a job working on an enterprise application. I graduated from the course three and a half years ago and have been coding ever since.

CODE IT started my new Career!
Read more Read less of Brian D.'s review
When downsized from my career as a distribution manager (with no computer experience), I was able to attend the .NET Developer bootcamp and earned my Microsoft certification in Beginning Web Development. Because the school has such a great program and close ties to local employers, I was hired by a large local insurance company on the last day of our class. In fact, my class had a 100% hire rate.
Patrick, our instructor was PHENOMINAL! He was able to teach and explain the concepts, languages, and systems clearly, and brought it down to the level where "non-IT" people could grasp the material. His use of humor and the ability to relate well with everyone made the hard stuff fun and attainable.
Our class - .NET Web Apprenticeship program / certification covered an introduction to: C#, T-SQL, HTML5, CSS3, ASP.Net, ADO.Net, JavaScript, JQuery, MVC, Entity Data, and JQuery Mobile as well as use of Microsoft Visual Studio, SQL Server Management Studio and Aptana3.
If you are looking to move to the IT field, or need new skills, this is a great program and I greatly recommend it. The whole MAX / Code IT team will treat you like royalty too.

I was in comuter programming in college, and this was a perfect opportunity to get back into programming for me. The facilities are top notch, and the teacher was the best. The clalss was a lot of fun, and we learned a LOT of new technologies. I was able to turn that into a my current job with a Fortune 500 company in Cincinnati. My classmates and I still get together a couple timjes a year to catch up and see how everyone is doing. IT WAS AWESOME!!!

Java Bootcamp

After a successful 15+ year career as a COBOL developer & Systems Analyst and a 10 year stint as "mommy", I needed to update my skills to return to the workforce. The Cincy Code It Java bootcamp at MAX Technical Training allowed me to do just that.
The full time class was great for preparing me for a full time work week again. The class was organized in a logical manner, allowing for instruction, practice and teamwork with other students. I completed the course feeling back on my game.
The job search coaching was priceless! Looking for a job in 2015 was an education in itself. Resume updating, online searches, interview practice after 25+ years, and employment contacts - made ALL the difference. I had multiple offers within a few weeks!

I was able to participate in the Java Bootcamp program and have nothing but amazing thing to say about the program!
If you have the brain/desire to be a programmer and can pass the screening tests to qualify for the program, you must do it!
You will learn a great foundation of development knowledge to be able to code in Java, on a professional level, as well as coding on the side.
I was hired immediately following the program completing and I contribute that to this course.
I am growing every day as a developer and I have this class to thank!

My nine week Cincy Code IT .Net Boot Camp was a wonderful experience and the
best method for me to learn "Full Stack" development at one time. The
facilities staff, our instructor & career coach were all knowledgeable and
caring with the gift of being able to teach. As a result of this course of
study I was able to obtain employment within 2 weeks after our onsite “Meet and
Great” with potential employers. My new job is with a great company with a
substantial pay raise. The hard work required to complete the Cincy IT Boot Camp
was well worth the effort and I would recommend it to anyone who has an interest
in web application development and who is ready to work hard and make a commit to learn. -

If you are looking to learn FullStack Java, this bootcamp is what you want. Top employers in the area send their people here to be trained. So not only do you gain technical knowledge, you also get to network with people who may become your co-workers. The instructor is fantastic. He is knowledgeable, patient, and has a true passion for teaching. The after care is tremendous. You will have a career manager that goes above and beyond to guide you to employment. I can't praise this program enough.

This bootcamp takes you through all the aspects of .Net Development. The items covered include HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL, C#, ADO.NET and ASP.NET. We briefly covered JQuery, Agile Development, LINQ, AJAX, and MVC. The boot camp was about 9 weeks long. You will have a career advisor that will help with, resume writing, LinkedIn formatting, and interviewing techniques. After the 9 weeks there will be a reverse job fair so you can show off your skills to companies. In all this is a great program with great people. I would highly recommend this bootcamp.

Great experience!

I found Max Technical Training school through job fairs in Cincinnati. After holding part time jobs and pre Covid running my own business, I started looking for something new and realized I'm missing skills to be successful in a job market. I took the Agile ITBA course to launch a new career. The whole admission and registration process was smooth and easy to follow. Max staff was friendly and helpful throughout. The course itself was very intense and fast paced. Required some homework and study for ITEL and Scrum exams, but I felt well supported until the last day. The instructors were well prepared and experienced in the field. Materials were up to date. I only wish technical classes were in person, my entire course in 2023 was online. Job assistance with their career coach was worth the cost! My job search was very consistent and well design. I started my first job as BA after 6 months completion of the course. I would definitely recommend Max. -

To Start A Development Career

I graduated from the part-time class and was then placed at a job. I have the kind of job I've dreamed about, because of this course. The instructors had impressive mastery of the material, and different but effective teaching styles. I believe that weather you already have some amateur experience with coding, or have little or no prior knowledge, this class can take you to a place where you can comprehend complex ideas and techniques, and in multiple languages, but you better believe you have to work hard to get that return on your investment. The career assistance program is just as helpful as the technical training.
I completed this course while also working as a restaurant manager. I worked and studied, or attended class and studied, every single day for 7 months. Then, with the ample assistance of the amazing career services staff, and more daily work, I found a job that I believe will open my future to amazing possibilities. -
