TripleTen

There are a lot of reasons to consider boot camps. For some, they see the potential of the industry and are looking for a career change. Others are self-taught programmers but want a boot camp to fill the gaps left by YouTube. I fell into the latter camp and was looking for a structured boot camp to help fill in the gaps, receive guidance from mentors, and evaluate my current portfolio to help get job-ready. 

Now that I’ve graduated from the TripleTen Software Engineering boot camp several months ago, I can give my candid and full review of the program. It’s mostly positive feedback, but I want to be honest about sub-par and frustrating areas. I can’t compare this against any other boot camp, but if you are considering learning how to code, consider TripleTen. 

When enrolling in the program, I owned a creative studio and had already built several dozen client websites. I knew how to code, but clients don’t always want or need a hardcoded website, so I wasn’t utilizing everything I knew often enough to feel extremely comfortable with the information. As much as I knew, I also knew there was a lot to learn, and I wanted a boot camp to provide structure, fill in the gaps, and pick up React JS (which I had no experience with) along the way. 
The following aspects of TripleTen were very positive for me. 

• The structure provided by the TripleTen curriculum. I have always been a self-disciplined, independent learner, but there are way too many resources online when it comes to code. Without external guidance, I sometimes learned code to a certain unnecessary depth because I lacked the wisdom to know what was important and what was not important to learn. The boot camp was extremely helpful here. The provided structure kept me focused on a large goal without getting caught too much in the weeds. Although it’s self-paced to an extent, you are still expected to hit deadlines and communicate with the team if you are falling behind for any reason. 
• The interactive platform was a plus. If you’ve ever utilized tools like Free Code Camp, you’re familiar with the idea of an interactive online platform. That’s all I expected from TripleTen, but they went well beyond my expectations. The UX and UI were excellent, and they did a great job throughout the sections, requiring the online platform to have a sense of humor and keep you moving through the segments. It all felt very polished, and you can tell they really thought this through. 
• The content taught in the course. The material was well thought out and well knit together. It felt cohesive, engaging, and well-explained. They utilized various resources (videos, PDFs, lecture notes, etc.) to help you understand each concept from multiple angles. This is important to note because not everyone learns the same way, so you can feel confident that they’ve anticipated that and developed a resource that will help you understand it well. 
• The instructors and course managers really care about you. As you go through the course, you will get a really good sense that everyone is there to help you succeed. It is not in anyone’s best interest to push you so far out of your comfort zone that you fail. I continually felt that they cared about what I was learning and why I was motivated to strengthen my knowledge of code. I have always felt this with code, and TripleTen further confirmed that programming is not a zero-sum field but a continually evolving and supporting discipline. 

The following aspects of TripleTen could be improved upon. These are minor and just my experience, but I distrust reviews that are 100% flawless. 

• They requested you to review them too frequently. I understand the need for internal feedback on the lectures to allow them to iterate and improve quickly. That made sense to me. But very early in the course, they began asking you to recommend them online to your network and bring them referrals. While important for their business model, it felt like I was asked way too frequently, and I knew that I couldn’t honestly give my network a recommendation until after the course was over. 
• They don’t always make their calendar appointments. The first time was with my career advisor, and the other two times were office hours with the tutors. This is a part of life, and when it happened, they were apologetic. So why bring it up? It’s understandable if you’re notified in advance or shortly into a meeting that the individual cannot make the appointment. All three times, it was a “no-show,” and I only found something out hours later or the following day. I know these are isolated cases, but TripleTen students will often have a lot of other commitments in addition to their coursework, and rescheduling isn’t always possible. 
• Office hours are mostly great, but they can get chaotic. I have literally no idea how this could be improved, but when the instructors have an open time slot, you have no idea if you’ll be one of three students in there or one of ten. When too many students join a given office hour time slot, it compresses the time available to each student to ask their questions and work out a solution. In the later levels, when I most needed help from tutors, the office hours were the most chaotic. While the instructor wanted to help everyone, they just couldn’t, and we were told twice to find another time. If there was a way to RSVP for time slots or if more tutors were available for the harder sections, that could have helped. 

I had a great experience with TripleTen and am comfortable recommending them to anyone. They do a great job throughout the course, providing structure and helping every student, as best they can, to understand the material and succeed. My negative experiences were minimal and could have been because they were rebranding and switching systems (slack to discord) at the time. I would recommend you consider them if you’re looking for a boot camp!

Last year, right before I had found out about TripleTen, I had just been discharged from a behavioral health hospital. My mental state was stable but still poor due to many changes happening in my life. I was constantly moving from house to house, dropped out of my computer science college, and my part-time job that I somehow still had wasn’t any better. I didn’t know if I wanted to keep looking for a full-time job or pursue an education again. That was when my mom had recommended TripleTen (formally known as Practicum) to try out. One of her coworkers had told her about it and that it is a very flexible online programming bootcamp that they are able to work on while also having a part-time job. I was reluctant to pay more money that I didn’t have much of for another online bootcamp, but I decided to give it a shot.

Immediately, I found a home at TripleTen. There is a community of tutors, peers, and other staff that are almost always online to help with questions. There are no strict times for lessons, instead I am able to work on their interactive platform any time I am off work. I love that the projects are organized into sprints and preparing us for actual real job experiences. Working and learning online can be difficult and discouraging, but keeping up with peers in office hours kept my motivation up and running. I fully recommend TripleTen to friends and family alike!

I started learning to code to break out of my boring 9-5. My job didn't foster imagination and it wasn't challenging me. I stumbled upon TripleTen on social media and signed up for their free HTML/CSS trial course. As soon as I finished, I did not hesitate to continue my studies with them. I signed up for the software engineering track. The curriculum is detailed and easy to follow. Make no mistake, it does not hold your hand throughout the learning process. It DOES, however, teach you how to find the answer and be self-sufficient. This amazing curriculum, coupled with the incredible support from the tutors, is what makes TripleTen the best option amongst a sea of choices. TripleTen also has a career support section that will prepare you for the job search. Throughout the learning process, you are given information to strengthen your social media presence so that you attract potential employers. One very enjoyable part of the curriculum is that it is structured in sprints, just like a real-world team would operate. This means that the prep work for getting you ready begins the moment you start working on your first project with TripleTen. This doesn't all have to be about coding. TripleTen has many channels where you can connect with other students and talk about anything at all. You can discuss anything from code to your plans for the weekend. There is a sense of community that is lacking from many other platforms. Don't overlook TripleTen; they are THE best option when it comes to learning to code.TripleTen stays current with their course content. They're always updating things to match what's relevant in tech. Whether it's new programming languages, frameworks, or tools, the course will cover it. They make sure you're learning the data that is useful right now so that you can land a job after completing the course. Read less

The QA engineering course for TripleTen has been amazing! The structure of the program really guides you into the right direction. I was previously taking courses on Udemy and also finding other ways to self learn. If you were in my position where you feel like you need that structure, I can promise this program is that. Being able to take your time and really learn the material has been very smooth. There is no rush, there is no classroom setting so you don't have to worry about falling behind. There are tutors that are constantly available and also having a success manager that regularly contacts you to see how you are doing has been very helpful.  The program is constantly being updated making sure the best material is present. From Sprint 1 to sprint 8 that i'm on, I feel like i've finally made progress compared to when i was self learning on my own. I use to feel like i kept constantly getting stuck but the structure of this program has made it a lot easier. This program is also beginner friendly, I believe that if anyone is willing to put in the effort, they will succeed so don't feel intimidated. What I also really like about the program is the discord community that you are in. Everyone is super helpful and friendly and we all share the same goals. There are other resources and material that are provided to make sure you are succeeding. The comprehensive nature of the program ensures that every aspect of QA engineering is covered thoroughly. Whether it's mastering testing methodologies or automation skills, there's  opportunity to dive deep into each topic. As someone who's currently in the program, I can recommend this to any person no matter the age or experience. I look forward to entering the career readiness program where I will prepare for interviews and hopefully get hired!  TripleTens QA course has been very smooth, rewarding, and challenging.  Read less

So I became interested in coding simply for remote work. My current job quite literally eats the days away and I just needed to find something freeing. Coding to me is fascinating and the remote aspect would give the balance life needs. So I began looking into all sorts of schools and boot camps. I found that many of them are bunch of nothing. Some say that in 3 months I'll be a pro others tried to prey on my feelings off wanting to leave my job. But when I spoke to rep from TripleTen they were warm and inviting. They let me know that not everyone who registers makes it. They were honest and straight up with me and when I said I wanted to look into other schools they said go ahead, here are some popular ones. I looked at those and more and realized they just weren't offering what TripleTen is offering. They also weren't out of reach in a computer science undergrad curriculum. While not cheap definitely not the priciest. They were, to me, the best deal out there. Now that I'm past the halfway mark of the curriculum I can see I made the right choice. They teach the lastest updates to the codes standards. Everything is presented in a neat and concise matter. There is also a lot of levity in the courses so even when you feel bogged down with schooling it picks you up. The tutors are great. I have a few a favor over others. I'm not sure if that's a me or them thing but I do think some help me more than others. Whatever the case is, no problem is too small for them. They are always willing to help out. As far as job assistance goes, they have lessons and detailed instructions on how to get started. They help you with Glassdoor and LinkedIn. And even on just how to prepare for an interview on the most basic level without making you feel dumb. 

I didn't cover a lot things in great detail but I wanted to cover the things that I and others were asking when looking into this. 

Overall, great learning experience. Would recommend.  Read less

I've always been interested in QA Engineering as someone with an IT background (Web development). So, recently I decided to switch to QA Still. I didn't know which Bootcamp to pick, Because I wanted a well-structured curriculum and support so I could gain some time studying especially since I'm working in a full-time job, plus a must-have "Career Acceleration program" so I can receive one-on-one coaching, practice interview sessions, and expert guidance to polish my resume. So it will be easier for me to have my first tech job in the USA, as a new immigrant to the states. After a deep research and comparison between different Bootcamps. I found out that TripleTen is the best choice for me. Because they have all the things that I was looking for, and more.. also a lower tuition fee compared to others.
Now after I'm almost done with the program, I reached the Final Project. I can clearly state that I don't regret any penny or minute I invested in this Bootcamp. Some of the things I liked about this program are: 
- The fact that they keep you always active on the interactive platform with questions and exercises during lessons. 
- The project at the end of every sprint to practice and be more confident about your skills, the system of project reviewing. 
- The "Discord community" is another cool feature, cause you can access a bunch of extra resources, ask tutors about anything that you had difficulty whether in theory or even the project tasks, and enter the co-learning channel so you can learn with other students, and many more things to do in Discord.
- The Career support program, is a main feature for me as I mentioned before. But since I'm still on sprint 9 which is the final sprint before entering career support I can’t speak much on Job hunting. but what I can say is that after submitting every sprint project you'll have access to extra lessons on job hunting and soft skills that are important in the industry.
- Not to forget the flexibility of the program so you can study whenever you want with a convenient rhythm for you.
Honestly, everyone in TripleTen is so helpful and professional, including the success manager who's always making sure that you're always satisfied and helps you when you need some guidance or information. 
It has been an incredible journey so far with a great community. Thank you TripleTen Read less

I'm currently a student in the Software Engineering program with TripleTen and my experience has been quite a challenging but exciting one nonetheless. I took an interest in the Software Engineering program because I was ready to explore my potential and put my knowledge to the test.  I've reached a point in my life where I'm ready to step back into the job market with the skills to assist me in attaining a more promising career that will grant me the opportunity for growth. I browsed over numerous tech boot camps and I happened to come across TripleTen's program through social media ads. TripleTen's remote studying opportunity seemed to be the best option since I would be able to work on my own time. They also ensured that after completion of their career prep, they will help you find a job within 6 months of program completion or you get your money back. The confidence that they have in their program and their students secured my decision to focus on my studies with them. I spend every day studying, at least three hours a day as the program is divided into two-week sprints that are comprised of theories and tasks, completed with a project that puts your newly learned knowledge into practice. So far I've been getting a more sufficient understanding of numerous coding languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The program provides an exceptional support team with tutors and instructors willing and able to assist in any issues with the program material provided through flexible office hours and a platform to communicate with instructors and other students. It also provides insight into the Software Engineering field such as the soft skills necessary to work with colleagues and clients, tips on portfolio improvement, interview preparation, and overall real-world expectations of the job.  As I progress through the program, the projects and material become more dense and intricate but I also gain more confidence in moving forward. I'm excited to proceed with the program and see it to fruition.  Read less

I am a recent graduate from the Business Intelligence Analysis (BIA) program at TripleTen and it has honestly been one of the best decisions of my career. Having an industry experience in developing frontend of software applications, I wanted to venture into User Experience Design through a certification program from a reputed community college after my career gap. Although the certification helped me enhance my skillset as a professional, it lacked in a lot of areas like gaining real world project experience, learning how to network, connect with recruiters to mention a few. I stumbled upon TripleTen’s BIA bootcamp through an acquaintance of mine and it seemed like an organic choice for me, with the right amount of technical and design experience in my pocket, to dive into the data/business aspect.  BIA program comprises of subjects like advanced spreadsheets, sql concepts, business analytics, exploring visualization tools like tableau and power bi. The newly gained skills together with transferable skills from my earlier education, made the whole experience worthwhile and a fascinating one. One of the most distinguishing and top-notch aspects about the program is that it is online with an ever-supporting community of tutors, mentors and students bringing out the best in each one. The study material is divided into sprints to mimic the real-world work system with project at end of each sprint providing a complete understanding of the concepts. In addition to the material, there are numerous workshops, online co working sessions, q & a sessions throughout the week to keep the momentum going, learn outside of the intended course material, dive deep into concepts through workshops etc. The programs have been designed beautifully to support working (PT/FT) and non-working professionals alike; with 10-20 hours per week of commitment to gain and excel in new skills which makes it sustainable and fun. Another unique feature of the program is what is called the career acceleration program that gives you tremendous opportunities to be more job ready than ever before by focusing on the right tools (resume, cover letter, LinkedIn, GitHub) and strategies for job search. The program has up-skilled me in ways I couldn’t have imagined, and I have been able to fulfill my strong desire to always delve into the business side of a service/product. I would highly recommend TripleTen program to any individual trying to make it to the tech industry or someone trying to pivot to a new role or even just wanting to have fun exploring new technologies and opportunities it provides. Dream big and make it happen with TripleTen by your side!

I cannot sing the praises of TripleTen enough! In just 7 months, I was able to learn the ropes of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and build a diverse portfolio of apps along the way. Before landing my software engineering job, I was a public school teacher. The most important factor in considering which Bootcamp I enrolled in was the ability to keep my day job. Because of TripleTen’s sprint based project schedule, I was able to study and build on my own time, but still practice the pace of delivery that I use in my new career. The material is challenging, but approachable, and the community of tutors, senior students, and peers allows for you to grow and ask questions in a safe environment. TripleTen also offered a variety of extra-curricular activities that other Bootcamp did not, and I believe those experiences helped me to land a job before graduation. My salary increased by 50% with the help of TripleTen’s career guidance and the skills I learned.

My only criticism, and it is small, is that more time could have been spent learning backend technologies. However, the strong foundation that was laid on both the front end and back end makes diving into and learning more about server side coding easy to do after the program.

You will not regret your choice to enroll in TripleTen’s software engineering Bootcamp, your time will be well spent during the course, and afterwards you will have a long-term connection of a professional network to help you succeed in the tech industry. Read less

I was a student in the Business Intelligence Analyst program at Tripleten's Bootcamp and I can wholeheartedly say that Tripleten is a great choice for any aspiring data professional. I decided to join tripleten because I was let go from my job back in the summer of 2022, and the job market has been very competitive within software implementation. As a business major, I have done a lot of research in switching careers and ultimately landed on going into business analytics, as the job market is only booming and there will always be a need for Business analysts in the future. I came across many online bootcamps, but Tripleten really stood out to me. Not only did I hear great things about the program, but the value, the, cost and the money back guarantee really enticed me to pull the trigger and go with Tripleten. 

I would on average budget around 20+ hours per week to dedicate to studying and completing the sprints. For the BIA program there are 8 sprints, which are roughly 2 weeks long each, and they cover everything from SQL, Excel, Power BI, and Tableau. What truly sets Tripleten apart from other bootcamps is their unparalleled support system. The network of students, mentors, tutors, and career success managers is not only amazing but also incredibly helpful. Tripleten also gives students access to many different studying options, including office hours with live tutors, 1-1 sessions with tutors, and co-working hours with other students who are working on the same sprints / projects that you are. At the end of each sprint, there is a sprint project which gives students the power, knowledge, and experience to complete real-world challenges you'd face as a business intelligence analyst.

For me, the access to 1-1 tutoring sessions was extremely helpful, especially when I was stuck in certain areas. I also really liked the access to the Discord channel with students and tutors for quick resolution of questions and access to past students' questions. Moreover, the feedback and advice provided after project submission were super helpful and beneficial for personal growth. 

Since graduating the program, I have joined the career acceleration course which helps graduates clean up their Linkedin profiles, online Github portfolios, Resumes and cover letters, which is crucial for anyone looking to actually land a job in data. I am also now in the middle of an externship with Boston Public Library which will be a great, real-world experience and set me apart from other candidates in future job applications. I am very excited for the future and truly believe Tripleten has gotten me so much further then I ever would have gotten 

Overall, Tripletens bootcamp offers a holistic learning experience, combining theoretical knowledge with practical skills and unwavering support, making it an excellent investment for anyone looking to thrive in the field of business intelligence. If you are thinking of changing your career and nervous to make a change, rest assured with Tripleten you will be in great hands! Read less

The TripleTen Software Engineering bootcamp has been refreshing and encouraging. I chose TripleTen because many of the reviews that I read online were positive, even the ones that had some gripes. The pacing of the bootcamp also looked manageable while maintaining a job. The pricing of the bootcamp seemed fair as well.  The bootcamp is split into fifteen sprints (think of these as chapters that are capped off with a project). Each sprint introduces a few concepts in the form of written instruction, as well as videos for concepts that can be easily demonstrated visually. After the introduction of concepts, you are usually given tasks to complete, which help you solidify the information with practice. After you have done the sprint's instructional material, you finish it off with a project that incorporates what you have learned that sprint as well as building on past material. These projects usually take a couple of days to complete, but they are challenging. That may sound off-putting, but the bootcamp gives you access to tutors and senior students who you can ask for help through Discord. The tutors also run scheduled office hours that you can attend. There are office hours slots every day, so there is quite a bit of flexibility for when you can do your work and ask questions. Tutors are very helpful. They don't hold your hand through every problem, but they do offer solid advice and direction. I have only regretted attending office hours once, and I've been at least a dozen times so far. After finishing the project, you are usually given a short recap along with some useful resources that you can use to hone your knowledge and skills. I would estimate that the average person spends about twenty to twenty-five hours per week on the bootcamp, and that if you do that with diligence, you can very much get through this bootcamp with no issues. There is even a calendar feature which helps you track your progress and gives you little reminders about where you should be in each sprint.

About 5 months into the curriculum I've started to really get the hang of the development process, and I feel as if though my mindset on this line of work has completely changed. I've been planning a transition into the tech field from a creative one for years, but never pulled the trigger on it until I found TripleTen. 

The course's structure, and delivery of challenging topics are both fantastic. It constantly feels like I'm really breaking through and learning the most important concepts for a future full stack engineer. I'm getting so excited for my future, and it's all thanks to this program.

Thank you to this course for blowing a breath of fresh air my way, and for bringing my dreams for a job in the tech industry even closer to reality. Read less

The school is very informative and the tutors do make sure that you are learning, There are multiple office hours, which is beneficial for those who work long various hours. I was nervous and self conscious about asking for help when needed, but the staff was always quick to assist and in a way that didn't make me feel discouraged. I am still in the school but i do enjoy it a lot.  Read less

I started the program about 5 months ago and everything has been a very smooth journey so far. The tutors are extremely helpful, there’s always avaible office hours and having a success manager reach out to you constantly to see how you’re doing. The material is precise and getting your project graded is very quick and to the point. Highly recommend this to any beginner or someone who’s self taught that needs something with more structure ( where I was ) beginner friendly!   Read less

As a Philadelphian with a creative background, I craved a program that blended my passion for storytelling with the practical skills needed to thrive in the dynamic world of web development. After months of research, TripleTen emerged as the clear frontrunner. Here's why:

1. Curriculum Tailored for Creative Minds: Forget dry lectures and rote memorization. TripleTen's curriculum is designed to spark curiosity and ignite creativity.
2. Mastering the Art of Learning: Let's be honest, traditional learning methods don't always click for everyone. TripleTen understands that, personalized mentorship, and a supportive community that fosters collaboration and knowledge sharing. This blend of structure and flexibility allowed me to learn at my own pace, ask questions without judgment, and truly grasp the material in a way that traditional classroom environments never could.
In Conclusion: TripleTen isn't just a bootcamp; it's an experience. It's about finding your voice as a developer, building a network that supports you, and unlocking your potential to create impactful technology.

I received a scholarship for TripleTen's data science program in partnership with Women Who Code back in 2022. I entered the program with a software engineering background but wanted to gain additional insight into machine learning concepts, which TripleTen offered. I learn best by applying new skills, so I loved that TripleTen had exercises built into every chapter. You're able to reach out to instructors and tutors whenever you're stuck on a problem. The exercises also have hints built in. 

During the program, you have support every step of the way from everyone on TripleTen's staff. In particular, my success manager continued to check in on me when I fell behind on my studies and was able to help me get reintegrated into the program after I took hiatuses. 

My favorite part of the program was the chapter projects. I had a portfolio at the end of the program that I was able to talk about in interviews, and many of the skills I obtained I was able to utilize in further education and my current position. Between the projects and chapter exercises, the structure of TripleTen reenforced the concepts. 

I enjoyed that TripleTen had sprints but was otherwise self-paced. This is a great program if you work well with deadlines but need flexibility when it comes to progressing. Ultimately, I was very happy with the education I received at TripleTen!

I was looking to pivot my career and decided to take a look into bootcamps and after some research, found TripleTen to be very attractive given that they have a money back guarantee if they're not able to help you land a job 6 months after graduation. Their program is very interactive and intuitive and the tutors are always available on discord should you need any help. They have weekly coworking sessions that you can attend to speak directly with the tutors and go over any questions/concerns you may have. You're also assigned a success manager at the beginning who'll be your go-to contact person should you need any assistance. I found their system to be very well organized and never felt like I didn't know who to reach out to if I needed anything and was able to finish the program 1 month early!

I was happy to learn a new skill set and am currently enrolled in their career acceleration program after finishing the course, thus I cannot really review the job assistance part of it yet, but am really looking forward to hopefully landing a new job in a new career field. Read less

Around April and May last year, I was getting ready to graduate from college, and had little clue what I wanted to do with regard to a job. After doing some looking around, I began to take note of different tech boot camps that I heard about on the internet and from friends in the field. TripleTen was one of these, and after a bit of time spent deciding between my options, I decided that TripleTen, with it's tuition guarantee regarding employment, as well as their general flexibility with my work schedule, was the way to go. 

Since June of last year then, I have been going through the Software Engineering Program at TripleTen, and I could not be happier with my choice for the following reasons. 

Firstly, the program. The program is divided into two week sections called, sprints which consist of theory sections (most of which have practice sections for you to immediately apply what you've learned) and those sections of theory culminate in a project that draws together everything that you've learned during the sprint (as well as information from each preceding sprint) and compresses it down into a well thought-out project that practically hits on every note that you studied in the theory for that sprint. I find this work loop very enjoyable and gratifying. When I first started the part of the program on JavaScript, for instance, I felt like a complete fool as I couldn't understand even the most basic elements of the language but as time has gone on, I have just finished the 13th of 15 sprints that focused on using my own database I created last week to add a new layer of security and authentication to make it secure using JavaScript, which, had you told me a few months ago I would do, I would've thought you were lying.

Secondly, the faculty. Like previously mentioned, when I first started JavaScript, as well as many other moments throughout my course, I have had times where I really began to think that I just couldn't do it. I thought I wasn't smart enough for it, and I was just gonna end up falling flat, but thanks to encouragement from the staff at TripleTen, whether it be from my community manager, or the tutors who helped me through rough patches, I stuck to it and kept on going until things finally started to sink in and make sense. I have always felt very comfortable asking pretty much any questions that come to mind when I am having difficulty, because every tutor I have worked with has been patient and quick to help me understand things, no matter how many questions I had to ask until it finally clicked. This has been greatly appreciated, and I am not sure whether or not I would have stuck with the program had I not had encouragement from the staff and my family during discouraging sections of the lessons.

Thirdly and finally, the focus of the staff on practical application especially when it comes to career-prep and understanding of what it takes to get and maintain a job in this field. At the end of almost every sprint is an entire chapter, (and sometimes more than one) dedicated to specific aspects of the job search. The first few have you setting up a solid GitHub that is appealing to employers, followed be a LinkedIn, then how to write a proper Resume for the field, and so on. Their desire to make sure you are employed after your time with TripleTen is clear, and very encouraging. I am going to be married in two months, so having the confidence that I have gained concerning my ability to get a job in this field that I have gained from my TripleTen is in my mind priceless.

There are a number of other reasons I could cite, but for the sake of brevity, I will leave it at those three. I am thoroughly pleased with my time at TripleTen, and though my time with them is drawing to a close soon, I will always be thankful to them for helping me get started in my dream career as quickly and efficiently as they have. 

I could not recommend the program enough, especially if you were like me, namely, completely green, but very interested in the software engineering field and not knowing where to start. I believe TripleTen is the best place to do so. Read less

As someone who is currently working in sales, I've never really thought of working in tech before. I saw a random funny reel on Instagram one day about working in tech and decided to click on it to learn more and see what it was. It was from someone who worked in coding and seemed like they had an awesome job and remote life. They talked about TripleTen so I checked it out and started reading reviews and learning more about it. There are so many different options and courses with TripleTen they really have something for everyone. I decided to talk with one of the advisors just to learn more and see what it was about. She explained all of the different courses and programs to me and helped me figure out that I was really interested in the Business Intelligence Analytics program. I've always had an entrepreneurial mind and even majored in entrepreneurship in college so I love helping businesses grow but learning how to use data and tech to improve businesses was a great way to keep up with the way the world is going with tech and data. The school payment options made everything super easy and all of the tutors and staff made signing up a breeze.

I started pretty soon after and got right into it. I still have a day job and this fits perfectly into my schedule. I usually study after work for about 2 hours a day during week days and then usually around 4 hours a day on the weekends if I can. I always have time to do other things in life as well so I can still go to the gym, be with my family, go out to eat, and get a solid night's sleep. Since the courses are go-at-your-own-pace, you can go however fast or slow you would like. Even with just doing what I currently am, I'm a month ahead of schedule. This gives me time to work on projects and lessons.

The lessons are well-structured and include real-life examples that really help me understand. There are occasionally things that are confusing, but I reread everything and really backtrack to make sure I can fully understand it. One piece of advice I would definitely give is to take really good notes. This way, when you're doing the projects or need to review something, you can easily see it again. The projects really put your skills to the test and let you show off what you know. It's honestly a really cool feeling to get through a task and then get the go-ahead from the code checker. Even if you don't get everything completely correct the first time, the reviewers give you great tips to help you get it right. If you ever get stuck on something, it's so easy to find help within the community of other students and tutors or even your personal success manager that is just there to help you with everything.

Built into the course is a career prep course where they help you do things like improve your online presence with LinkedIn, craft a great resume, write a perfect cover letter, and even tips on how to interview for your dream job. They work these into the course so that you are improving on skills that you are currently learning so you can really expand on your skills and knowledge. While I haven't quite finished yet, I still feel like I'm ready to go into the Business Analytics field. And I'm super excited about it. They also have real-life projects that you can complete for real companies to give them results and get real-world experience and practice while even getting real results you can put on your LinkedIn. 

The lessons are broken up into sprints to mimic the real world and make it easy to break up your time. After each sprint you get a completion badge that you can post on your LinkedIn to show off your newly learned skills. It's super cool getting to show off each skill that I learn. It makes me super proud every time I post one. And it makes your profile look even better to future recruiters or employers that might be looking you up. Even my friends and colleagues have noticed all of my newly acquired skills and are impressed and always have lots of questions. I've been messaged by recruiters noticing my new skills as well so that's super promising.

Talking more about the specific Business Intelligence Analytics that I'm in, it covers some of everything. Starting off with learning everything Excel, which is something that you're definitely going to use in basically every job you get, and then learning how to make visualizations in powerful programs like Tableau and Power BI. These are very strong programs that can basically do everything. If you think you can make cool things in excel or power point, they have nothing on these tools. They are very powerful and once you fully learn to use them, there isn't much you can't do. Another powerful and important program you learn to use is SQL. This is a program to communicate with and connect various databases. It's definitely a skill that will be important in any job I have.

Not only does the course cover these hard skills like software skills but also soft skills like speaking, presenting, interviewing, working in a team, managing your time both personally and professionally, and even networking to find a better job and help you in life. Soft skills are something that is definitely very overlooked in most programs and life in general. Being able to create a fantastic and informal report is a great thing, but if you can't effectively communicate your results than it really takes away from your skills. By working soft skills into the course, you get a great chance to learn everything. 

I'm almost through the course and I'm so excited to finish up and get started in a new career in business analytics. Do yourself a favor and get this course. Better your life and career. Read less

I've been teaching math and programming for 7 years, so I have a solid background in Java, but I was a self-taught coder and didn't have anyone to teach me industry standard best practices or common frameworks. I love coding, and so I wanted to pursue options in software engineering.

I did plentiful research on different coding bootcamps, but TripleTen stood out. I had seen reviews and watched YouTube summaries of the first couple sprints, and what caught my attention was the quick response to questions through the bootcamp's discord. I'm a hard worker, and I can usually figure things out through my own research, but I knew there would be some abstract concepts that I just couldn't grasp - and the couple of times I needed questions answered, that process was very timely! TripleTen is organized into 15 sprints, preparing students for a career with deadlines. Initially we learn front-end development using HTML / CSS / JavaScript. This leads into using React, which is a framework combining JavaScript and HTML to dynamically design webpage elements. This part of the course was challenging but rewarding, because I began to feel like I could make anything I want happen on a web page with relative ease. After mastering many frontend design concepts, backend development began. I had a little bit of a background in databases, but not with the same technologies as TripleTen was teaching me. The coursework made the new information easy to grasp, and backend programming turned into my favorite! I loved finding out how the "guts" of a website run to make things like user authentication and dynamically updating website info happen. Finally, everything gets tied together in Sprint 14, and you really feel like you've built a website that could expand to an infinite number of ideas. Sprint 15 walks you through cloud hosting, so friends and family can visit your website publicly by simply typing in a URL.

The interactive platform gives check-in quizzes to see if you're keeping up with the vocabulary and concepts, and has many tasks that represent the skills you'll be using in that sprint's project while you're learning them. The projects expand on the tasks in a challenging way (but reasonably challenging!) There are things you'll have to research a bit on your own, but the mentors on the bootcamp's discord are right there if you've done your research and couldn't quite find what you're looking for. I'm hoping to get a start on an externship project for a real company soon! This is a project that the bootcamp offers if you're keeping up with the coursework - a company needs something built, and TripleTen makes sure it's appropriate for their students. TripleTen and the company will bolster your LinkedIn and resume with letters of recommendation afterwards!

At the end of Sprint 15, I am incredibly satisfied with the progress I've made. I feel I can have real conversations with other engineers, code using professional frameworks and methodologies, and learn new frameworks quickly when needed.

If you do choose to go with TripleTen, here are some words of advice: structure your days around some time to work on the course. For me, I was able to set aside 7pm-9pm every weeknight, with a little more time on the weekends. TripleTen wants students to plan on 20 hours each week, and that's a pretty good estimate. Also, be willing to struggle! I had some pretty big mess-ups on projects that I didn't discover until later on; oversights that took a good amount of time to fix and correct the rest of the code that depended on my mistake. I learned a TON during that process, because mistakes are one of the most powerful learning tools! Finally, ask for help. Once you've done your research and tried to find solutions to problems, the mentors are there to help. There are office hours and discord servers for individual sprints, so do not be afraid to start interacting with the community! Other students are there asking the same questions you probably are, and the mentor's answers to your questions might just help a future student! Read less
