TrueCoders is a full-stack software development Bootcamp that offers an intensive full-time 9-week schedule or a self-paced schedule. The full-time 9-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).

An amazing school!
TrueCoders has been such a wonderful experience! I was nervous about leaving an industry I was in for almost 10 years. Jeremy, Andrea, and Morgan, have all been here to help me along and feel more confident about this new career path. I am so excited to see where my future takes me after going through this bootcamp! - Aliza OConnorVerified by LinkedInJul 14, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great School
I studied here and even as an experienced programmer I learned a lot of great tricks and tips. This is an excellent C# course for all levels. Morgan Fullbright, Andrea Schwenk, Phillip Schmidt, and Jeremy Huddleston are excellent instructors and really taught me a lot. Career services is really excellent as well. Friends from other bootcamps that are more than triple the price don't have jobs months after graduation. This school really works with you. - Jose VillalobosVerified by LinkedInMay 13, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Good Pace and Responsive
I've tried multiple online platforms for learning code and could never stick with it. Having the commitment of being in a class and having the support of the instructors and TAs helped me to finish the course and gain proficiency in multiple languages without feeling particularly stuck at any point (except with debugging, but that's expected haha).

As someone who has never done any sort of programming before this course, I can't recommend TrueCoders highly enough. You start from the very beginning alongside everyone, no matter your prior skillset. This was one of the things that initially drew me in to TrueCoders over the other courses I was looking at. The other things that drew me in were: The cost of the course, the amount of time the course takes, the career services, the size of the program, and the amount of hours required in...As someone who has never done any sort of programming before this course, I can't recommend TrueCoders highly enough. You start from the very beginning alongside everyone, no matter your prior skillset. This was one of the things that initially drew me in to TrueCoders over the other courses I was looking at. The other things that drew me in were: The cost of the course, the amount of time the course takes, the career services, the size of the program, and the amount of hours required in a week.
TrueCoders costs at least $4,000 less than the other programs I had been considering. They also offer many different kinds of financing options, which was so helpful for me! It made me feel more confident in my ability to take this full time course and spend my time only doing the course and not working.
The full time courses for TrueCoders are 9 weeks long, which was the shortest amount I had seen among other courses. That definitely drew me in, because I knew it could launch me into a new career that much sooner than somewhere else. And on that note, I am so grateful for the career services department at TrueCoders! Right away on week one you get a lecture with Denise, the head of their career services. Then each week after that there is a set aside time for a lecture with her. You can also easily schedule one on one time with her as much as you want and need and I suggest you do!
My Web Development class size was about 12 people, which made for a lot more personalized feel. Our instructor knew each of us well and was able to take time to answer our questions without it feeling like we were interrupting the lecture.
I also really love TrueCoders because of their availability to do one on ones after class hours. I really utilized those and often had more than one meeting a week! If you have a big question that you don't understand and feel like the class is moving to quickly for you, take time to schedule a meeting with your instructor. It helped me fully understand what we were learning on multiple occasions, when I had been stuck in class.
Finally, one of the top things that made me choose TrueCoders was the time it took out of my week. Class is 6 hours each day with an hour break in the middle and you are expected to study outside of class at least a couple hours on top of that. Compared to the other full time courses I was considering, this was exactly the sweet spot for me. I knew I wouldn't be able to commit more than 50 hours a week total to the course because of my own personal disabilities. Having a course say they expect about 40 hours out of you a week really helped me feel comfortable with the work load. When in the course, I never did spend more than 50 hours a week studying, and I feel that was enough for me to understand the concepts and sit and work through the problems that I needed to study.
I have loved my time at TrueCoders! I would say my only critique is the way the curriculum is set up for the full time web development course. Because it is a 9 week course, it feels like I have become a jack of all trades and can dabble in so many things, without really delving into one for a long time. We often spent only a couple days on concepts that have an expansive amount of information out there. For me, that was really rough and I do wish that we had spent more than two days on certain subjects. I think that the course would benefit from extending some of their subject matter to help us really get a grasp on certain things and get more practice in. I know that the amount of time this course is definitely drew me in, but I think extending the course to go 3 months in order to really focus more in depth on certain concepts would be helpful for our confidence in moving forward.
That being said, overall I couldn't recommend TrueCoders enough! It's an amazing course and feels so personalized. I am at home with both my fellow students in the class and with our instructor. I know that taking this course has changed my life and I can't wait to move forward with my new knowledge!- Jessica EdmondsGraduate • Software Engineering Bootcamp (Day Course) • OnlineVerified by LinkedInMay 13, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

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.
