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). After graduation, the TrueCoders placement team works with graduates to make introductions, set up interviews, coaching before interviews sending out job applications.

Fullstack Software Development
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. - Hanna SindiukovaVerified by LinkedInOct 14, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
9 weeks of coding
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.

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.

Classroom Instruction Makes a Solid Pivot to Online Class Due to COVID
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.

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. - Michael NewmanGraduate • Software Engineering Onsite Full-Time Day • BirminghamVerified by GitHubMay 29, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I've learned a lot at TrueCoders. The teacher explained material very well, and if he didn't know the answer he would find out then get back to us. He also pushed us to learn on our own. The course got me back to what I love to do! Now to find a job!
