TripleTen

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

I've been working on the Business Intelligence Analytics course with TripleTen and so far it's been a great help! I'm close to finishing the course with a couple of sprints to go, each of which has taught each objective in great detail. I honestly feel ready to apply these skills to my next job opportunity, and just from have a foundational understanding of the concepts learned, I think it won't be long before I land that great job opportunity! Thank you to Aia, and all of the tutors for all the help throughout this journey! Read less

I choose Triple Ten because it is giving 10 month duration to complete course work which is needed for me as am new in tech world. Plus there is lot of help/guidance from the tutors if we stuck in between projects or have any doubts we can reach them at any time on the platform, then career support is great benefit to land a desired job. Triple Ten gave me knowledge of Technologies which were new for me and confidence to kickstart my career in tech industry. So if you are passionate about technologies and interested in putting efforts then this would be a good fit for you. Read less

This bootcamp has been challenging in the best way! The material is extremely thorough, from data cleaning to implementing machine learning models, and there are many wonderful, responsive tutors to help along the way. The projects are tough, and you learn a lot in the process of completing them. I love that the format of content allows me to study around my work schedule, and I am incredibly grateful for the extensions available for project submissions. I joined this bootcamp to move towards the machine learning field, and I strongly feel that it is helping me move in that direction. It can be difficult to balance study material with full time work, but it absolutely doable when you consistently show up (even for a small amount of time) every day. Now, I'm pushing through my last few months in the bootcamp and getting started on the career prep work. I highly recommend this bootcamp for anyone wanting to enter or grow in the field of data science/machine learning and good luck to those of you who decide to join! Read less

The reason I first started to look for a bootcamp was I wanted something REAL, like experience, that could tie my college degree together, since I only have an associates. TripleTen was a great addition to my educational journey. 

There were three things that I really wanted when it came to a bootcamp: needed to work with my schedule (I work 40+ hours a week and school), has REAL work experience and could help me secure a job afterwards. TripleTen offers all of this. 

They are a part time option which was not too demanding, and when I did need time off I was able to request it. This made it super easy to balance life, work, school and the bootcamp. 

Their externship program is legit, allowing their students to get ACTUAL real life experience. Along with their course material, which felt like I was actually learning something that would help me, it is pretty easy to score a programming position with them. 

They also offer, at least I think they still do, 100% money back guarantee, which has never been claimed by a student! 

Overall, I really enjoyed my time with TripleTen. I learned so much more about software engineering, which honestly is a huge passion of mine. I was even able to get a position with Hurley Medical Center as an Application Analyst! I would not say TripleTen was 100% the reason I was able to get this position, my college experience and experience at other positions at Hurley definitely helped, but I would 100% say that I do not regret taking the course. The knowledge and experienced I gained from it was amazing.  Read less

I highly recommend the TripleTen Business Intelligence Analyst Bootcamp. The program's structure is streamlined and doesn’t skip on ensuring a focused learning experience. What sold me was that I could work at my own pace and do the work and lessons at anytime of the day. Despite being online, the is plenty of access to tutors, career coaches, fellow students, and alumni right from the start. That alone made collaborating and getting support through my journey extremely easy. My journey wasn’t the easiest since I had to juggle 2 full time jobs and 2 side businesses along the way the flexibility of it all was an extreme selling point for me.  Read less

The best career decision I've made so far has been selecting TripleTen for a coding bootcamp. I was nervous to change my path from the healthcare industry to tech, after becoming burned out and tired of commuting for hours each day. I have no background or experience in coding, but I knew I wanted to create a lifestyle for my future where I could work from home while still doing something I love. The platform and coursework actually make learning coding fun and I have been able to apply what I've learned to each project I complete. I have gained so many skills in data analysis that I never thought I could be doing. The best feeling is being proud of the work you complete after accomplishing a project. I chose TripleTen because of the amount of preparation and support they provide for getting a job in the real world, along with realistic challenges you may face. The program I selected is perfect for what I envisioned myself doing in the tech industry. All though it is self-paced, there are recommended milestones provided to keep you on track and many resources available for help and guidance. What separates TripleTen from other bootcamps, is that the tutors and success managers are encouraging and want you to succeed. Knowledge and help are given during the programs to ensure social media platforms, portfolios and interview skills are ready to begin job searching. If you are unsure about how to break into the tech world, TripleTen is the best place to start.  Read less

For a few years I toyed with the idea of switching careers, with a dream of breaking into tech, but I let those imposter syndrome thoughts tell me that “it’s too hard, you can’t do it!”. I put my dream off for a while because I didn’t feel competent or confident to make the change. And then I found TripleTen. I had been considering another program but TripleTen’s full-stack just didn’t match up for the price tag. I also liked how the program was structured using Sprints. I can struggle to self-start and keep an independent pace, so the structure of Sprints holds me accountable to the deadline while preparing me for a real-life SWE job role. You are able to take breaks in the program as needed (they are even encouraged!). This was important to me because I work full-time and travel frequently. Once I had decided that TripleTen was the program that I wanted to move forward with I spoke with an advisor who further helped me to “hush” those thoughts telling me that I couldn’t do it – and I went for it! I am so happy that I did. The journey has been challenging but seeing your code come together is SO rewarding. The theory can be overwhelming at first. However, it is divided into text, visuals, videos, links to outside resources, and the interactive coding platform so it is easy to stay engaged. The platform is also visually appealing and easy to navigate. I highly recommend giving yourself enough time to complete the theory especially if you do not have any coding experience. And take notes! Keep a calendar and take breaks, you can do it! The best part of the program is the Discord server where you can interact with the Tutors, Success Managers, and other students. The Tutors do a great job of giving hints and explanations using videos, visuals, and detailed written feedback to guide you towards the solution rather than telling you the answer outright. They help you to critically think and encourage you to do your own research because that is going to help you be successful in the workforce. I have never had to wait more than two hours for a tutor to answer a question. There are also multiple office hours most days of the week, so there are frequent opportunities for support outside of Discord. If additional support is needed, you can ask for a 1:1 tutoring session. Senior students are also available to support you and will often chime in with feedback if you ask a question. The Success Managers check-in with you frequently, encourage you when warranted, and help you keep on pace. The whole community is really supportive and friendly. I haven’t fully immersed myself in the career prep coursework but the resources are abundant! If you are considering TripleTen as your coding bootcamp, I am here to tell you that the program is a 10/10 DO recommend!  Read less

I chose TripleTen's Software Engineer (SE) bootcamp wanting for a career changing and hoping to be able to work remote one day. I was drawn to TripleTen for its original sprint structure every three weeks, hoping the deadlines would push me to work harder but is also flexible on when or how many hours a day I can choose to code. The recent shift to unlimited extensions was a welcome change, it provided me more flexibility for unexpected life changes.
Managing study time with an inconsistent schedule was challenging, but I started to break down sprint chapters into three-week segments. I love the community provides on Discord, where I can connect with senior students and tutors for guidance and forming a supportive learning environment.


TripleTen's emphasis on interactive learning enhanced both hard and soft skills. The dynamic curriculum encouraged active participation, contributing to a well-rounded skill set. Some tips for the upcoming new students I can share would be to try preparing for fast-paced learning, staying consistent, and dedicating at least 30 minutes to an hour daily for coding.



In conclusion, TripleTen's SE bootcamp has played a pivotal role in my career transition. The combination of flexibility, community engagement, and interactive learning has not only equipped me with technical skills but also instilled resilience for the journey ahead. Read less

I wanted to join the tech world because I was always interested in technology and how cool it is. I also wanted a better life for myself where I can support my family as well. I found this school through just Youtube add or searching on google. I was hesitant at first but I had a lot of people help me through the process and it was a great way to get into the tech world and get started. The people and the community were all so great and helpful. The community managers really did care about me completing the work and understand whether I needed a break or not. They helped me out soo much I would say with out them I would have already quit. I really like the community office hours, those were so helpful and you get to have tutors to help you and explain to you how to do something. It was such a big help and i loved it every time. That is a big plus that helped me get through this. The projects were also a big help. They provided a way to feel like working on a real life project, which helps out with the feeling of doing something that will give you experience. TripleTen helped me with understanding how the tech world works and how can I succeed in it. Provided so much good information and experiences from other people that works on the tech world. Such great insight, it gave me the motivation to keep going and not to give up. 

It was a challenging program to go through it. I know it was going to be challenging but this was really hard to complete and especially as you go half way in. But it was all worth it, it gave me all the knowledge I need to get the experience for a job at this market. I would say one complaint I have is that the program does not feel like it prepares you for the difficulty that comes with learning all this stuff. There are times where I would be stuck for so long and sometimes need extensions to complete the work and understand it. But again that's where the tutors helped out so much. They provided a lot of support and I was able to get through it. To end this review, one advice I would say is to prepare your self with a routine to complete this and be consistent. I promise after you graduate form the program, you will feel ecstatic about your progress and achievement. You will not regret choosing TripleTen!   Read less

At first, I was skeptical about TripleTen's promises to secure a job and learn enough about Data Science to feel confident in a full time position. Though I have not secured a job at this point (I only just graduated), I can confidently say that I have acquired a great number of skills that makes me surprise myself at times. TripleTens curriculum is as depth as a 9 month program can be, and in my opinion, hits all of the essential elements that are applicable to the business side of Data Science. I say that to emphasize this point: Data Science is a massive and ever expanding field, and there is no way to cover it all in 9 months. That being said, they give you all the tools and resources to secure your foothold in the discipline. 

Outside of the curriculum, they provide an excellent team dedicated to your well-being and success in the program. Evgenia and Aia (my community leads) were both incredibly supportive, regularly checking in to see how I was doing as well as responding in timely manner to all of my questions and needs. They were awesome. 

They also provide many secondary resources, such as workshops and webinars, to help refine and expand your skills and answer any questions.

The one, and really only, complaint I have is that I found feedback on some of the projects a little frustrating. I came from a prestigious university and sport program that were both built on in-depth feedback. Out of the 15 or so projects, I felt that a couple of these lacked feedback that made me feel comfortable to move onto the next module. However, this was often rectified by one-on-one interactions that filled any remaining gaps that I felt I had.

Overall, I can not recommend this program enough. For those that are trying to break into the industry, refine their skills, or just want to learn for their own personal use, I would strongly suggesting giving TripleTen a look. They were great.  Read less

 


I decided to learn software engineering primarily because I wanted to get into project management in the tech world. However, I wanted to be able to learn the job from the inside out. I also wanted to have other options, so I wasn’t stuck in just project management. After doing extensive research I stumbled across triple ten or formerly Practicum. It was the best option because it thousands of dollars cheaper and the time it took to accomplish the certificate was half the time or more. 


I organize my study every other week depending on what activities I have going on the week of. I work full time but thankfully I do work from home so whenever work is slow I study and work on my software engineering chapters. I typically study 15-20 hours a week.


I typically go through the chapters in order but if for some reason what is provided still does not make sense ill do my own research of watch videos. I make sure to take breaks like walk my dog, workout, shower, make coffee, etc because my brain can’t handle working 8 hours and jumping straight into studying. So I will usually study for 2 hours and take a break and study for 2-4 more hours until it’s time to get ready for bed. I do my larger parts of studying on the weekends because I do have more time.


Everything about TripleTen has been amazing! The chapters give a short but great explanation on how the coding works and why it wouldn’t work. After every lesson on each chapter, you get to test out what you learned and get hands on experience. I am supper hands on learning, so it works great for me. Obviously since the material was just learned it may be hard to still understand so you still get help through the lessons.


The projects are the best way to learn hands on experience. Having tutors available to help through the process is a huge help. Every tutor is always willing to help and they are ALL very knowledgeable. Choosing TripleTen has been the best decision!

Last year I decided to change my career, I was looking for something that I could do from home. I worked so many years on sight, I just want the tranquility of my home. I started to look for courses that could give me that freedom, and then I found Tripleten. I had an experience one by one over the phone and I decided that it would be something pleasant to learn. The price was very accessible and It worked for me. You just need to have some time available to study 2 or 3 hours a day, some people are more disciplined, but trust me, I'm not one of them and it still works for me. The support I have from the tutors are awesome, and always when you need help, we have a app called Discord that you can type your issue and somebody will help you anytime, or tutors, or senior students, its wonderful. There are career assistance and LinkedIn assistance also. Don't think just because is online that you not going to interact with other students, we had a meeting very nice over the zoom and was fun to meet and chat with others. Coming back to the course, they provide high quality material and activities, it worth a lot if you like me is looking to change your career. I would be lying if I tell that it's easy, because is not, you need to put a lot of effort to make it happen, read the material, and if you need, read it again and again.

I had just graduated college with my Bachelors in Mathematics and been job searching for months. Even though I had a degree under my belt, I was getting rejected from most places due to a lack of experience. I wasn't sure what to do, and that's when I saw an ad for this program on YouTube. To be honest, I was very skeptical about the program at first. Now that I'm a month away from graduation, I can't praise the program enough. Unlike college, this program focuses on job preparation, and it provides you the ability to work at your own speed rather than that of a class. I have learned more marketable skills doing this program than I did in all 4 years of college, and at a much faster pace without all-nighters and the stress that comes from the fear of failing a class. This program is accommodating to your schedule and speed, and there are tutors available 24/7. The program also gives you an opportunity to gain work experience, which is possibly the most important thing to have on your resume. The only thing that University has over this program is name recognition -- the program has incredible job preparation, flexibility, teaching quality, timeline, curriculum, tutors, advisors, and internship/externship opportunities. Obviously this program doesn't just hand you a job. It can be hard work at times, but if your goal is to get a job in tech, and you know you have the ability, but have no idea how to get there -- this program is for you. Read less

       I Started on my BI Analysis  journey with TripleTen after graduating with an IT degree from the university of Texas in Dallas and struggling to get a job after graduation. After hundreds of applications and a year after graduation, I came to the realization that I needed to get extra skills in Tech to improve my chances of landing a job. So the idea of a bootcamp came by and after researching multiple bootcamps. I settled on TripleTen after speaking to an advisor and also because of their job guarantee at least six months after graduation and also after reading testimonies about the success rate of their program and graduates. The pricing that was offered by TripleTen was also a factor in choosing it. When I compared their pricing to other Bootcamps, in some instances their pricing was half as much compared to other Bootcamps offering the same classes. On top of that, they had flexible payment plans and also a deferred payment plan that lets you pay only after graduating and getting a job that pays at least $50,000 yearly before starting to pay them back. To make things even better, they guaranteed that if you don't get a job within six months after graduation, you will be able to get all your money back. All these made TripleTen unbeatable in the market compared to other bootcamps.
       I embarked on the exciting journey of learning BI Analysis with a goal to delve into the world of data and analytics. Choosing the right platform for my analytics  journey was crucial, and after a thorough research, I decided to go with TripleTen. Some of the reasons that TripleTen has become an integral part of my learning experience are many and one of them was the Motivation to Learn. The lecturers were very supportive and helpful in helping to do the projects when stuck. We have a shared discord board among students where one could post a question when stuck on a topic or project and the tutors and other students would suggest ways of getting the problem done without actually giving you the direct answers thereby giving you the motivation to learn and figure out the answer. As with anything new, there will always be instances when you get stuck on something new that you have to learn especially if it's totally a new concept. I had never done SQL before, and it was challenging. I had constant check in from my tutors asking if they could help, and one I posted a question, I would get a response less than a day letter on how to navigate the said question.
       The TripleTen platform is also very interactive making it quite easy to navigate to get answers about topics that one would be stuck in and this also made the task of completing projects manageable. Triple ten also have learning teams, community, and  workshops that have new activities every week to immerse yourself into and also they have learning workshops every day with different tutors covering different topics where one can get answers from depending on what program they are undertaking. TripleTen also introduced me to Github where I could post the projects I have learned so that other students and employers could view my work and increase my chances of getting a job. Through Github , I was also able to collaborate with other students and Github users on their projects by giving suggestions on how to improve on a project posted. I also got introduced to Norton, a platform I had never heard of which has helped me do a professional resume and connect with other like minded people in the analytics field.
       The Studying Routine was very flexible and due to this it would be suitable for anyone , whether in school or undertaking a full time job. If you commit roughly 15 hours a week you would be able to meet the project deadlines. I broke down the 15 hours weekly study by studying in the morning every day for two hours and this enabled me to not fall behind and meet the study deadlines that are set out in the platform. The workshops that they offer every day covering different projects made it much easier and fun to figure out problems when stuck with an issue. On top of that, the most valuable aspect of TripleTen is their interactive platform, engaging projects, supportive learning team, a vibrant community, and their insightful workshops.
       TripleTen has had a tremendous Impact towards my progress of becoming a BI Analyst. Since I started this journey I have become proficient in Excel, SQL, Tableau and Power BI. Ive become an expert in making engaging dashboards and collecting and cleaning data for analysis. It has also given me great confidence to applying for jobs that need experience because I can now show the products I have worked on as an example of what I can do when it comes to BI Analytics. 
The advice I can give to Beginners or those that are considering starting a journey in analytics, coding or any bootcamp classes you choose to do is just to begin. Like with everything new, it can look hard at first when you are starting out just like with learning any new subject especially if it is something that you have never done before. Staying motivated is essential even during days when a project seems hard to understand. The best way to approach these days is to always ask questions especially to your tutors and classmates and because you will find that most of the time they have experienced the same issue that you are experiencing. They will always be in a better position to show you how they maneuvered through the question to get to the correct answers and they can explain how you can get to the correct answer yourself.  Effective study habits and leveraging the resources provided by TripleTen would make you successful in your bootcamp journey.
       My experience with TripleTen has been nothing short of transformative. The platform's features, coupled with my commitment and organized study routine, have accelerated my growth in the Analytics field. Most importantly, leverage TripleTen's resources, and stay dedicated.

After having some experience in the tech field and being rebounded by warehouse work, I wanted to take more steps into the field that interested me and move past average customer support and desktop/smartphone support. After doing some digging and research to find my next move to make this happen. I was advertised to "Tripleten" on a social media feed. However, a bit skeptical I did have a chance to research other camps but the course I chose here at Tripleten (Quality Assurance Engineering) had all the courses I needed to become a knowledgeable QA. 

The reason I chose Tripleten is that while doing my research I did have the chance to sit in on some Zoom calls with other camps but this one was a phone appointment. I had the chance to talk to Ron Schurr personally and ask separate questions from notes I've been taking and its learning curriculum was what I needed while working with a volume-based schedule. I normally carved out 3-5 hours a day or every other day to make sure I digested what I learned and anything I didn't my tutors & community managers always had some answer or someone who can get you what you needed.

The course and curriculum is layed out very nicely and its becoming very intuitive. From the time I've spent in the course I personally just enjoy the simplicity, the information is easy to find, the calendars are clear and all the tutors are available at different times to meet everyone needs. Theres always updates in the community discord for career talks & help, Old and active open chats to help you along with each section and there's even a place to find a study buddy. Id also like to highlight my success managers (Vladimir & Irene) these people care and make sure your striving for your goal or help you with any course issues you may encounter. Super friendly. 

TripleTen has a career program. I haven't completed the program, so I haven't fully dived into the career part yet. But as I approach the end there are courses that explain it has externships and how well just from graduating from here can help you land a job as a QA. I'm confident once I'm done and talk to the career counselors ill be fully prepared to get that job.

After explaining all of the great this course and curriculum can bring there are some snags that I've encountered but nothing insanely major. There honestly very little this QA course that needs to be fixed. Just some more visual explanations videos or GIF's and re-structure or wording of some stuff to make it hit home. However, there's already been good changes made and I'm on the last Sprint of the Curriculum. There's no doubt that id recommend this Bootcamp to others "5 Stars" Read less

I did a lot of research into bootcamps before deciding on TripleTen (formerly Practicum). Some of the bootcamps I've researched include FlatIron, Thinkful, Springboard, App academy, CodeSmith, etc. After being in the TripleTen bootcamp for several months now, I have to say that I'm very happy with my choice. I’ll list below some of the key things and features that I like about the program. In no particular order:

1) TripleTen has built-in breaks and extensions for students. During the 1st month or so of the program, a huge crisis came up, that had me sidelined for around a month and a half where I was unable to work on the program. In, I think all of the other bootcamps mentioned above, I would have been kicked out from their program. And they would have kept at least part of my money. Most bootcamps have a policy where if you fall behind (for any reason, even if it’s an emergency), they remove you from the program. TripleTen, on the other hand, has breaks and extensions built into their program that you can take when you need. Even if you didn’t have an emergency situation, I think it’s also totally unreasonable for most of these bootcamps to expect a student to really learn and grasp so much material in such a short amount of time. So I think breaks and extensions are incredibly helpful in that regard. 

2) The people at TripleTen are fantastic! The staff here (from the tutors to the community managers) is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable . Definitely one of the highlights of the program.

3) TripleTen has periodic projects throughout the course. The program is divided up into what are called Sprints. Each sprint goes through lessons, and teaches you some material. And then at the end of each sprint you are given a project to complete. The projects are by far the most fun part of the course work, in my opinion. You get to implement what you learn, and the brief instructions are usually quite specific with what they want you to do. But there’s also room for creativity and adding your own features as well, if that’s something that you’re interested in doing (as I was). After you submit a project, it gets reviewed, where a reviewer will suggest corrections and improvements.

4) TripleTen has extra activities. The program has optional side activities that you can participate in such as code jams and externships. In a code jam, you are placed in a team with other students, and you have a project to complete. You compete against other teams. In an externship, you work with other students and a lead developer to actually design and/or implement some kind of project or feature for a real world company. Externships, in particular, are an amazing feature to have in a bootcamp, because it’s real world experience that you can put on your resume. 

5) TripleTen has a money back guarantee. Before you believe any camps money back guarantee, I suggest you read the fine details in their policy section. For instance, Thinkful has a money-back guarantee. But if you actually look into the fine details, their conditions for actually being eligible to claim the money back are incredibly strict. Some of the conditions are so extreme that it seems almost impossible to claim the money back. I won't go into the details here, but I suggest you look up the policy and decide for yourself. TripleTen on the other hand, has much much less stringent conditions for claiming the money back, which tells me that this bootcamp is confident in being able to land you a job after graduation. 

6) TripleTen has Senior Students. Senior students are a group of students who have been accepted by TripleTen to officially help/tutor other students. You don't necessarily have to be far into the program to become a senior student. You just have to know what you're doing (for the most part) and be willing to help others. I list this as a feature here, because it's actually become one of my favorite parts of the program. This may just be me, but I really enjoy working with other students to help fix their code. Not only that, but it gives you a ton of experience, looking at other people's code and trying to find and fix the issues. I do recommend it. Of course, becoming a senior student is totally optional.

7) TripleTen has a career program. A significant portion of the program is geared towards landing a job. I haven't completed the program, so I haven't fully dived into the career part yet. But as I approach the end, it's looking like their career program is extensive, which definitely gives me that extra layer of assurance that I’ll be able to land a job after graduation. I guess, overall, I would say that I highly recommend TripleTen, and that I’m very pleased with my decision to choose them for my bootcamp. Read less

I was a teacher for 9 years, but started to learn how to program on my own during the spring of 2020. It was hit or miss for me for about 2-3 years. I enjoyed it, but it was hard to be consistent. I toyed with the idea of a bootcamp for a long time and Triple Ten seemed to be the right one for me. The Software Engineering program has bee a great experience. It is well structured and there is always someone to help if you need it, tutors, community managers, and other students as well. Coming in, I felt like I had a decent grasp of some of the basics, but Triple Ten connected a lot of dots for me from my previous learning and gave me a deadline to keep me motivated. I got a job 3 months in to the bootcamp as a front-end developer. About 3/4 done with the bootcamp and still learning a lot! Triple Ten gave me enough confidence to apply for a job - and get it! I think without that, it would have taken me much longer on my own. Read less

I started my TripleTen journey last year after medical events made me incapable of physical work. I took the medical leave as an opportunity to start working towards a new goal. My experience at TripleTen has been fantastic, the layout of the course is easy to comprehend and I feel that I learn something useful with each and every lesson. 
The lessons are very informative without feeling too overbearing, everything I have learned seems to fit into the reality of software engineering. There is a good balance between theoretical and practical knowledge. However, in my opinion the best part of the TripleTen are the people there to support you. There are tutors anyone can reach out to, a reviewer for each time you submit a project, and a success manager to help with anything else you may have questions about. TripleTen has built an incredible team of people who feel like they genuinely want to see each student succeed. I did some research about which program I wanted to go with regarding my software engineering career,  and I can honestly say that I believe I made the right choice.

During the pandemic I started my self-taught journey to become a Web developer, I often found myself lacking consistency and asking myself what should I learn next? As you already probably know there’s a never-ending learning journey ahead and as a self-taught learner back then I often felt discouraged. I reached the conclusion that I would benefit from a structured program. I am currently a Triple Ten student and I will break down why I chose Triple ten and what day to day looks like for me.

Why Triple Ten? 

I am the only provider in my family and in order for me to be able to commit to a boot camp I needed to be able to keep my full-time job. But I did not want to sacrifice quality. For example, I wanted self -paced but I also wanted deadlines, timely feedback and a community. And that’s exactly what I found with Triple ten. As someone who was also on this website no long ago looking for an answer I would suggest to create a list of things you look for in a boot camp what are things that are negotiable. Write questions you have for the bootcamp. Schedule a call with the recruiters, and do a process of elimination of which program works best for you and your situation. If you need flexibility because you work fulltime , or you a stay at home parent and always have a hectic schedule I believe my review will be the most helpful as this is my current situation. 

Interactive platform- This is where you work on your theory (lessons) and after each theory which mainly consist on reading and examining coding examples. Then you work on the task where you immediately have to put in practice what you learned. On this platform you also have a calendar which shows you the schedule for the office hours for your current sprint. My favorite feature is the deadline recommendations. It lets you know where you have to be in order to accomplish the deadlines. An example of this would be: Finish your theory in 8 days. It helps me plan my week without feeling overwhelmed just make tiny goals that at the end will allow me to complete my sprint within my deadline. It also has a Skillset section where you can keep track of the skill sets that you gain as you pass the sprints. Also, a search bar to search through the sprints. The platform is really straightforward and easy to use. 

Feedback- This one was a big one on my list because as I was on my self-learning journey I often asked myself I know the code is working but am I doing it the right way? And it frustrated me because I would go to websites like Stack Overflow and everyone had a different way of successfully solving the same problem. I know that this won’t change of course but I am learning the best practices and why is the best practices. Once you are done with the theory plus tasks of your sprint you will work on your project. You will receive documentation on the requirements and a Figma link to the project. After you submit your project a Software engineer will go over your work and point out what you did correctly, what can be improved and what has to be corrected. This feedback has helped me grow tremendously. 

Community- All the interaction with the community is through Discord. This is the main method of communication. Everyone is assigned a Success manager who is your go to person for extension deadlines questions about the program or if you need to schedule a one on one with the tutors. The times I have missed a deadline my success manager has always been understanding and always show encouragement for me to keep going. My family don’t understand how difficult to grasp the concepts are and is nice to know I have a go to person that completely understands where I am in my journey. 

Tutors: If you are stuck during Theory part of the sprint or your project you post the questions on discord channel and tutor guide you. Also, each sprint they assign seniors or graduates as well to help tutors with assisting with questions when they(tutors) are offline. They also have co working sessions which I have not been able to participate due to my hectic schedule. They conduct Code jams I haven’t been able to participate but making it a goal to do so.  

 

Career support- I am currently on sprint 8 therefore I can’t speak much on Job hunting as I am not there yet. What I can say is once you are on Sprint 4-5 you start getting lessons on job hunting, how to have an online presence, what recruiters look for. Before those sprints you also get lessons on the soft skills that are important and employers look for. One of the lessons I have enjoyed the most is the when they illustrate the day to day responsibilities of web developers as it gave me a clear idea and I was able to dig deep and really ask myself if this is what I want to do. I am also glad that they introduce git and GitHub really early into the program. You are added to the career discord channel and you are able to schedule one on ones with the career team. I haven’t done so because my main focus is learning and building right now. Putting into practice the lessons on the career portion of the program but with my main focus right now is to create a strong foundation. 

With my review I truly hope you are able to get a clear picture on how this program works. Like previously stated I am currently on Sprint 8 there’s a total of 16 sprints. I have had personal challenges along this journey but I have truly felt I have a community behind me and no matter what IT GETS DONE. I truly hope this review was helpful to you reading it I wish you all the best in your journey!
