I enrolled in this program because I wanted a career change. I am so glad I did and it will be a great investment for my future. The support from the Instructor, TAs, and HR is awesome. They also offer 1 on 1 tutoring sessions which I utilized frequently. The instructors and TAs took their time to help explain the concepts when I got stuck. The virtual learning via zoom was new to me but I like the convenience of being able to learn this new skill from home. The career services department is also a wonder asset to the program. Denise will help you with mock interviews, formatting your functional resume, and how to use LinkedIn for job searching. You will not be disappointed. Like Nike slogan states, Just Do It!!! -

Fantastic course! I just finished the course, and I feel they have adequately prepared me to enter the software development field. I was always able to ask for help, and somebody was always willing to help me with whatever issues I had. They also provide assistance with Job searching by getting you prepared for what interviewers will throw your way. I do not regret enrolling in TrueCoders, and neither will you!! -

An amazing company, with a lot of resources and support for you to learn either full time or self-paced. I have recommended a good handful of people to the program, not one person has been disappointed in the choice. TrueCoders provides real-world challenges to make the transition into a position in the programming field smooth and effortless. -

I enrolled into this program because I wanted to make a career change. I 've had a great learning experience, developed new skills that would open doors to new position in software development. The instructors are very knowledgeable and very helpful. You can come to them for help before and after class, because they care about the student progress. As at this time of review, I have not gotten into seeking assistance in job placement, but it is a great place to make you succeed in your career and job search.
I would definitely recommend this program to anyone looking to get into web development and programming skills. -

Great bootcamp and amazing help!

Overall I had a great experience with this program. My instructor was very patient and always went out o his way to give one on one help whenever it was needed. That is a huge plus because it allows you to ask very specific questions and achieve clarity on topics that may confuse you. I began the course with no knowledge of coding at all. Now I have a great foundation to begin seeking jobs with. The employment support was top notch as well. I was shown so many useful ways to widen my search and then narrow in on jobs specific to what I wanted. There was always support for the job search and lots of updates on positions when they became available. I would recommend this bootcamp to anyone trying to get into web development or someone who has a basic foundation of coding and is looking to see how they can build upon their current knowledge and skills to apply them to bigger projects and then job opportunities. -

Great boot camp! Its a 9 week project based course. My instructor Jeremy was always there for us 1 on 1 and really took the time to break topics down so we could all understand. This course will provide you with everything to get a job in the tech industry. C# is the main language (Software Engineering Course, but they also have a web development course) but you also learn about SQL for databases, GitHub for version control and even some HTML, JS and CSS. This course is set up in a way that after every topic, you use the skills you learned in prior lessons to complete new lessons moving forward. I cant forget to add they even help you with getting a job through the career services department. Mock interviews, resume building, how to use social media effectively. Its a growing family and so many people are getting jobs and helping each other get in the door. You will not be disappointed. -

Amazing Learning Experience

I cannot express how happy I am to have gone through True Coders. I originally had worked with C# on and off for more than a year so I had a little bit of knowledge when I joined. However, it was very clear that the course was designed for even those who have never wrote a line of code before. Despite this, I still found myself learning valuable information in the first week.
The atmosphere is great. Everyone is friendly and helpful, and the focus remains on getting you a job throughout the entirety of the course. You will have assistance along the way from your fellow peers and from the True Coders staff. If you are looking to get started in the industry I would 100% recommend this course. In fact, I actively recommend the course to friends/family who are looking for a new career. -

TruCoders is a 9 week online or in class program for students lookin to enter the field of Web Development. Students are supplied with expert teachers who guide you through the process with classroom instruction, daily exercises and project assignments. They also provide expert personal brand development and career services. The instructors are patient and encourage students to ask questions during class or schedule one on one time with the instructor outside of class. They also allow for one on one time in class when the class is working on an assignment or exercise. -

Best school to help get you going
This is probably one of the best courses out there to help you learn a skill and get work. The full time course is 9 weeks with an instructor who is always there to help out. You get a super nice counselor who helps in so many way from interview skills and getting your resume nice and shiny. -

Great bootcamp
Read more Read less of Josh S's review
I've got no real experience coding but I was familiar with some of the concepts (If statements and loops were used in the level editor of an old game I used to play) and some experience using Git / Github from being a Linux user.
the course mostly focused on C# but also covered MySQL, HTML, CSS, API's, ASP.NET, and touched on other things.
one thing I thought would help ease some issues totally new to this stuff is if they went over the console/terminal/command prompt and how the information it displays relates to how people are used to browsing their files and such using windows explorer or whatever file browser they use. even so, they do seem to be patient people and worked with anyone who was having trouble understanding things to help them along.
something to note is that they send you and e-mail with a little bit of prep work when you sign up. it's really just some of the easier to learn stuff that you use later on. while they do go over this stuff during the course you get a much better grasp of it if you do the prep work before hand to familiarize yourself with it. it's also fairly easy to cover it all in a few days time if you get working on it.
so signing up a week or more before the start of the bootcamp does actually give you time to better prepare yourself for the rest of the course and leaves you in a stronger position later in the course.
the job placement meetings were constantly filled with great information and strategies about how to help find and get jobs.
this sort of thing can be quite important because how employers find employees doesn't remain the same as it's always been.
I learned a lot and I never would have known how to even start what I did for my final project before.
honestly, it feels a little crazy to say that I didn't know how to code at all just over 2 months ago considering what I know I can do now.
I'd certainly say TrueCoders is a worthwhile experience. -

TrueCoders has a well-designed curriculum with good instructors. In my class, Whit did a great job of not only teaching but also guiding the students who came from a broad level of prior competence. Not only did I learn a lot during the classes about C#, SQL, and full-stack development, but I now have much in the way of resources and projects to use as reference going forward. The class was offered online and that all went well - better than I could have imagined.

Michael was a great instructor. He went over every bit of material thoroughly and was there when anyone had questions ready to help. The course was quick and in your face but also laid back. Would definitely refer anyone to take this class. -

One of the best decisions I made!
Read more Read less of Amber's review
I was really unsatisfied with my current job and was interested in pursuing programming. I quit my job in Oct 2020 and started classes two weeks later. Soooo glad I did. Michael was the best instructor for us beginners in this class, very patient, and understands the material he is teaching so well, that he is able to write and draw out the concepts for us to follow along with.
All the staff her has great attitudes and are all helpful. My classmates were great as well. Denise, the director of job placement, was also fantastic and was there with us every step of the way when searching for a new job. There were some things that we brought up in the class I wish we spent more time on, but the course is only 9-10 weeks so I understand it's not feasible to teach it all in that amount of time. I at least know what to continuing studying! -

Great BootCamp!
Read more Read less of Kyle Schumacher's review
I enrolled with TrueCoders after I got hurt as a heavy equipment operator and decided that the best course of action was to change careers. During my time at here, I was able to meet some great people. The teachers claim that they are willing to help you as much as possible and it is very clear that they mean it, being that they encourage you to schedule a 1-on-1 session as much as you want or need to. I found the curriculum very well written and understandable. Ms. Denise, head of career services, is by far the most enthusiastic person I have ever met, she's very eager to help as much as she can. She also holds two meetings each week to bring up topics such as the interview process and how to build a usable resume.
Overall I am very pleased with the experience I had here and I will be recommending them to anyone looking for a bootcamp. -

I'm graduating from the course soon and have some interviews for entry-level roles scheduled, so I can say from the other side that if you stick with it, you'll have what you need to get started on a new path (and for much, MUCH less than it costs to attend most other boot camps--I'd thought about doing a boot camp for years, but the idea of taking out a big loan always stopped me. The price for this course made a difference to me, so it'll probably come into play for others, too.) -

An Excellent course

This course teaches many valuable skills in coding. It starts by teach baseline fundamentals of the langue's and step by step instruction. They move forward teaching you skills to continue improving thru guided and self-learning. The teacher was very knowledgeable and was able to explain the topics in an excellent manner suitable to all students. through out the course they provided career placement training twice weekly, this is very useful to me trying to make a change in career fields. Help was always just a few clicks away. -

Best C#/ASP.NET BootCamp in USA
Read more Read less of Jerry A.'s review
After attending TrueCoders online for the past 9 weeks, I am fully convinced that they are the best at what they do - C#/ASP.NET Stack BootCamp, covering a lot of technologies including C#, ASP.NET, MVC, SQL, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript, Git/GitHub, Azure Deployment and many more using multiple resources made available to all students. Michael, our Instructor, was highly knowledgeable and patient with every student to ensure we all understood each lesson before moving to the next. They also had TA's on standby for one-on-one assistance whenever we needed such. Group work/project was encouraged to give us teamwork experience with a simulation of a real-life work environment.
Be warned, however, that this Bootcamp is not for the faint-hearted. You must be ready to put in the works to get the desired outcome at the end of the 9-weeks. From my personal experience, I suggest an additional 4-6 hours of study outside of the classroom per day, for you to be job-ready by the end of the program. Just make sure you do your pre-Bootcamp study/assignments before the start of class, this gives you a soft-landing into the curriculum they use.
The most important skill been taught by this BootCamp is teaching students "how to learn, gain confidence in what they know, conduct productive research for what they don't know, and how to apply it to their projects and get the desired results". Having this skill gave me the confidence to take upon any project, a programming concept or feature needed for a project or a new programming language, and be able to learn it within the shortest possible time.
Despite all the qualities mentioned above, they are the most affordable BootCamp in the class of such a curriculum and standard of delivery, with flexible payment options.
I also like the Job Placement sessions with Denise which gave us a lot of strategies and tips to prepare for job interviews/placement. She did a professional review of all student's resumes/portfolios and sent us some open positions to apply for based on qualifications and helped connect us to various recruiters on LinkedIn. I currently have some interviews lined up and will be back to post updates on how they go. -

At first I was very hesitant in enrolling to an online boot-camp but I'm glad I did. The support from the Instructors, HR and Admin is great. 1 on 1 session with tutor. Always helping if you get behind or stuck. The team is not rushing for the end of the class but they take time to make sure you are really understanding the concepts. I'd highly recommend this School and I would happily re-join this boot-camp if there are new programs which would enhance my skills. -

Great course. It will take up all your time, so it would be helpful to focus just on learning and practicing new skills for the course duration. An incredible benefit of the course is unlimited access to 1-on-1 tutoring sessions. You'll have a chance to meet aspiring people during your job placement talks and be a part of a great community. -

This is where you come to code if you don't know how to code. I kept trying to watch videos and do all the free programs online, but I needed a person by my side to say - "Here is where your error is, and here is how you fix it." I found that at TrueCoders.
From day 1, they are step-by-step - from downloading the correct programs onto your computer to making projects that you case showcase to a future employer; how to get hired; where to apply; what to say at the interview. This is the school for those looking for a new skill to step into a new career.
The teachers are so patient and knowledgeable. Then there is the price. Go ahead and compare. You won't find a better deal with live teachers. Are you still reading this? Sign up. Get started. You speak to real people on the phone. They are kind. -

Classroom Instruction Makes a Solid Pivot to Online Class Due to COVID
Read more Read less of Brett A.'s review
When I decided to transition into a software development career, two things were vital to me. One, I needed to get up and working again quickly, so I needed a program that was concise and relatively brief. Two, I needed persistent live instruction to help me overcome my ADHD brain's tendency to wander. Enter TrueCoders.
TrueCoders' premise is to get its students prepared enough to enter the software developer market in its 9-week timeframe. It's ambitious as hell, in my opinion, and the approach works. Completing the recommended pre-coursework helped tremendously in teaching me to think like a programmer before class started. I still spent roughly half the course feeling out of my depth. As a former educator myself, I can tell you that this feeling is completely normal when you're learning completely new skills, especially language and logic skills that hold their own unfamiliar rules.
Two aspects of TrueCoders' program really stood out for me. The first is how they pivoted so readily from classroom instruction to a 100% online platform, complete with live instruction via Google Meet during regular classroom hours. These guys took the COVID quarantine protocols in stride for their students. Second, we students got access to a wealth of online content that's custom-created for our class group (or Mark). Michael, our instructor, posted lecture notes for every discussion, recorded video of most every lecture, and assigned quizzes to hone our knowledge base daily. The best evolution of this online content came through in how our coding exercises progressed. What began as following comment lines in some source code--a great challenge for someone brand new to coding--morphed into step-by-step instructions in Google Docs. Michael's inclusion of screenshots and samples of the intended code made it much easier to follow along in an exercise, which built self-confidence when I managed to debug my code as I went along.
TrueCoders' other strong killer feature lies in its high job placement rate--over 80%. In past classes, I believe that recruiters came to the classroom on multiple occasions to discuss job opportunities and encourage new developers in the job search. COVID impacted that, as well, as we didn't get to meet any recruiters during our class time. However, we did participate in several job placement sessions that helped us rebuild our new programmer resumes, apply for jobs, update our LinkedIn profiles, and drill real-life interview questions that programmers will face. Even though our class is finished, these job placement resources will continue as long as I need them. I'll even be attending the job placement workshops that TrueCoders offers twice a week to its students.
Overall, TrueCoders has been a valuable experience for me. I've gained new programming skills more quickly and with greater focus than I could have by seeking out this content on my own. I think that it's been a worthwhile investment in my career change so far, and I feel confident that it'll pay off in my near future with a new programming job. -

This class is truly for someone who has some type of IT background or programming experience. It is not for a beginner. The course and materials were very inclusive and trending. The Instructors were supportive to a point. It was a fast paced program that covered C# programming, .Net, SQL, HTML, CSS, some bootstrap, Git and GitHub. There were several class projects and a final individual project to the student to show what he or she has learned. The class overall was fun, challenging and rewarding. To help prepare you for employment, the class included Technical interview assistance, Resume writing support, Head shots for social media presentation, and Technical Recruiter Q&A sessions. -

Heard about TrueCoders from a fellow retail worker when I was looking at IT positions. Had tried learning to code on my own before but nothing stuck. At TrueCoders, they took the time to explain things in a way to help you understand what you're doing. With a healthy mix of in class projects, one on one time, encouraging self improvement, and job placement assistance, you will find yourself in a world you never though was possible beforehand. They will give you the tools and insight to find your place in a new career. -

I graduated a few weeks ago from the first TrueCoders class of the Huntsville location. It was refreshing to be surrounded by like-minded individuals who were passionate about technology and coding. From day one, I knew my future success was a priority. The curriculum was adapted to meet the demands of current technologies utilized in the industry. Job assistance workshops on a weekly basis and opportunities for extended learning for specific topics when available are offered to both current and former students.
While the extensive content in the course provided the building blocks of knowledge I needed to enter a career with confidence, it was my instructor Cruz who provided the greatest example for achievement. He is a hard-working individual who deeply cares about each of his students. His devotion and encouraging attitude helped me push through the hardest parts of the course. He has even assisted me after the course to ensure that my job searching is going well. As I continue to interview, I remain confident that I will secure a position soon as a software developer. TrueCoders taught me to view everything as a life lesson and I recommend the program to anyone who seeks an exciting career in the coding industry. -

The team at TrueCoders definitely cares about your success and will put in time to help you learn baseline coding principles and skills to find a job. The in-person aspect of the class is definitely desirable, as almost all real-world programming jobs will involve a team-oriented setting, and in addition you get grouped with other ambitious and intelligent young developers from whom you can learn. I highly recommend considering TrueCoders if you are looking to get your foot in the door in the programming world. -

Starting the program I was hesitant about how much I would actually be able to learn in an 8 week period. On my first day I didn't even know how to write a "Hello World" statement, but at the end of the program I was completing projects I never thought I would be able to. -

TrueCoders Review
TrueCoders is a very unique coding program which not only teaches programming but also HOW to get a job in the industry. And unlike many other coding bootcamps you are not only able but encouraged to continue to work with all the staff to help get you a job. The only thing that could be improved is if the 9 week class was split up into 2 levels like a slower pace and faster pace track.
