TrueCoders is a full-stack software development Bootcamp that offers an intensive full-time 45-week schedule or a self-paced schedule. The full-time 45-week schedule is a live online course, while the self-paced version allows students the ability to take the course when it is convenient for them. The self-paced schedule is a great option for students who need to retain their full-time jobs but still want a career change. Students of either schedule have the ability to receive unlimited one-on-one support from instructors and career services.
TrueCoders offers 2 different courses: Full-Stack Software Engineering and Full-Stack Web Development. The software engineering course covers C#, .NET Core, the ASP.NET MVC framework, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, relational databases like SQL, WebKit-based debuggers, and basic working knowledge of networking and file permissions. The web development course covers, Node.JS, Express.JS, React.JS, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, relational databases like SQL, hosting web applications using Heroku and GitHub pages, FlexBox design, and Webpack bundling. TrueCoders also specializes in source control and students will receive in-depth instruction on git CLI and GitHub in either class.
TrueCoders aims to provide new coders with the tools needed to find a position in the digital job market including marketable skills, career navigation, and a support community. TrueCoders is meant for career switchers and those with no prior programming experience who wish to enter the tech industry. The application process for both classes begins by scheduling an interview online. A member of their staff will soon follow up with a call.
Before graduation, TrueCoders prepares their students for the job market by improving their resumes, helping them create networking opportunities, and hosting practice interviews. TrueCoders also focuses on communication skills and teaches students how to leverage connections they may have in the tech industry (including fellow students). After graduation, the TrueCoders placement team works with graduates to make introductions, set up interviews, coaching before interviews sending out job applications.

I learned 10 times more in this course than I did when coding at university at a fraction of the price. Classes are small and you get as much attention from the instructor as you need. Can't beat it!- Brian HendersonStudentOct 14, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Brian Henderson Reviews TrueCoders
First off, it's far more affordable than a 4-year university or even the big-name bootcamps. You also have the choice of a full-time day class or a part-time evening class. Lastly, you can either pay up-front or pay in installments. That way, you don't have to give up any of your salary to some income share agreement. And the way they teach is better than any college course. - JulianStudentOct 14, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

My Experience with truecoders
Before starting this class, I had no previous knowledge of how to code. I worked as an engineer for a hotel in Birmingham and was forced to look for another job due to the virus. I have a friend that recently took the truecoders course and he said it was well worth the money and time.

Finally, they are very advantageous when it comes to actually job searching and preparing you for that after the course is over. I highly recommend this course. - Tim NewmanSoftware Developer • Student • Live - Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp • OnlineOct 14, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Good content, good job assistance, great value
The pros are that you are taught how to code in C# in a down-to-earth manner. There are lessons that take you from ground-zero up to being able to handle databases and APIs. The instructor makes sure that any and all questions are answered, and the environment is such that one-on-one is universally available, so you never have to feel uncomfortable about asking for help. But besides this, there is plenty of material covered for the more advanced students to get practiced in the more i...The pros are that you are taught how to code in C# in a down-to-earth manner.

The instructor makes sure that any and all questions are answered, and the environment is such that one-on-one is universally available, so you never have to feel uncomfortable about asking for help. But besides this, there is plenty of material covered for the more advanced students to get practiced in the more in-depth topics.
Also the career-prep dedication is top-notch. My job search before attending TrueCoders was frustrating to say the least, in not finding appropriate openings and not getting any replies. But before the end of the course I had already found a prospective position that I was excited about and was in touch with the hiring team.
One more pro is the value and time commitment. This is one of the shorter bootcamps, which I believe to be a better approach than the longer ones. This leads to a con, that a longer bootcamp would provide more in-depth content (but being out of the workforce for a longer time) - NapinderBajwa • StudentOct 14, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Coming to TrueCoders I’ve learned that you will have a wonderful learning experience. Teachers that help you along the way even if you’re stuck on an assignment.

You will never feel dumb but will be pushed to learn more and obtain new skills daily. - Kathleen ByrneStudent • Student • Software Engineering Onsite Full-Time Day • BirminghamOct 14, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Trust the Process - Fast Paced Class
One thing that I continually reminded myself of throughout the course, was “trust the process”. I perpetually felt out of my depth in the early stages, due to how intense it was and how much information I was trying to fit in my brain in such a short space of time.
As time went on though, things got easier and started to make more sense. This was helped by lead instructor Michael Doyle who was extremely patient, respectful and genuinely wanted to see his students succeed.

There are only a few things I would change.....Better assessment of student's skills prior to the class starting. For instance, students with very little coding knowledge should definately consider the 6 month evening class. Also, I spent countless hours outside of class studying on my own with youtube videos.
At the beginning of the 9 weeks, I never anticipated being in the position I would be at the end of it and completing a final project with people that I genuinely enjoyed working with. To all the True Coders staff and my fellow students, thank you. - DavidSoftware Engineer • Student • Live - Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp • OnlineOct 14, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
TrueCoders Review
I have been to multiple bootcamps to learn programming and I can say with certainty that TrueCoders is my favorite because of the teacher and the learning environment. Micheal Doyle is a great teacher because he is able to explain challenging concepts simply. In addition, Micheal encourages students to collaborate and help others. This in turn creates an atmosphere that is suited for learning and growth. - AshlynStudent • Live - Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp • OnlineOct 14, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Worth it, but needs changes
TrueCoders was worth going through. We learned a lot of different and helpful concepts and they were always there to help whether it was job information or one on one time. It was definitely worth doing because my knowledge has expanded, and everyone there cares about you. But there are several things I would change with how they go about this.

We learned a lot of different and helpful concepts and they were always there to help whether it was job information or one on one time. It was definitely worth doing because my knowledge has expanded, and everyone there cares about you. But there are several things I would change with how they go about this. Also, PLEASE take what I say from the perspective of someone that has a difficult time in school (slow learner), new to coding, and has difficulty with creativity.
1. The 1 on 1 time (after class) is only 15 minutes, which is difficult to understand a concept you're struggling with in that amount of time. It can rush the teacher and the student and sometimes I felt just as lost coming out of it.
2. After learning one (sometimes two) concepts a day, we would only be given one exercise per concept to put what we learned into practice. I feel there should be more daily exercises from the beginning that would help us learn how to navigate through all the variations that can happen with each concept. We did have weekly challenges after several weeks of class that did this to a degree, but I think having challenges start from the beginning will be more helpful... so that if someone doesn't understand a concept early on, then it can be fixed sooner rather than later.
3. I felt lost on how to come up with new code on my own to practice my skills and concepts that I learned. Often, I felt that the best way I could do this was by finding Youtube videos and spending a lot of time outside of class trying to figure it out on my own. I understand that a lot of learning is trial and error and looking things up for yourself, especially in a 9-week program, but I did pay a lot of money for someone to teach me how to code, and I often felt they would lean on the fact that I can look stuff up for myself and self-teach. Not to say this isn't a good thing for some students, just not for me.
Overall, I would give TrueCoders 3 1/2 stars, because this is a place that does care about you and will do a lot for you if you ask, and you do learn important things to help you with code and job hunting. However, I felt like I could have been trained better and less stressed if the above was fixed in some way. - Bruno VieiraStudent • Live - Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp • OnlineOct 14, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
