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.

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.

TrueCoders is a great school if you want to learn Full Stack Web Development (JavaScript) or Full Stack Software Development (C#). It only takes 9 weeks to learn, and they also teach you how to get a job along the way! - AntonGraduate • Live - Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp • OnlineJun 04, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

TrueCoders presents a 9-week course that is pretty intensive. You definitely have to put in the work both inside and outside of class. During the 9-weeks, most time is spent on C#, but then there are some great overviews of SQL statements, HTML, CSS, ASP.NET, APIs, JSON and IDE. I went from absolutely no coding experience to and entry-level programmer. I have confidence that I can now join a company, learn their methods, and quickly advance my journey in programming. - MortonMay 28, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Excellent and Affordable
These guys are unlike any other bootcamp and I get the feeling that they really care about you getting a job in the industry, hence the reason why they're affordable. The attention they give is great and the communal bond they foster is welcoming. I highly recommend them for anyone who wants to change the direction of their life and needs an affordable way to do so as opposed to paying $16,000 or putting down a $2000 dollar down payment at another bootcamp only to get the same education....These guys are unlike any other bootcamp and I get the feeling that they really care about you getting a job in the industry, hence the reason why they're affordable.

Great Bootcamp
Great Bootcamp for beginners and intermediate developers. You will work on projects independently and with classmates. Main focus is on C# and then SQL. Less focus on HTML,CSS, and Javascript. C# can be overwhelming for beginners so I'd recommend doing some studying before on W3schools or a similar site before class starts. I had a great instructor (Michael Doyle) and you have unlimited help with 1on1 zoom calls if you are struggling or need help with anything.

I had a great instructor (Michael Doyle) and you have unlimited help with 1on1 zoom calls if you are struggling or need help with anything. The job placement side is pretty good especially if you have no prior experience or knowledge in interviewing, applying, etc. Resources for interview practice is also nice. You will have the tools to practice what questions to answers on an interview. I'd also recommend taking a couple web dev, C#, ethical hacking/ cyber security, and SQL course along with this bootcamp (After this class would be ideal). Just because you will be spending most of your day working on True Coders material. This goes for the Software Engineering curriculum. While attending they added the Web Dev course.

Software Engineering Course
If you're someone that's having a difficult time deciding choose this boot camp! The instructors are great, they take their time explaining the curriculum. They have tutors available. Truecoders prepares you starting day one with their job placement talks and techniques to amp up your resume.

Great value & Overall good experience
I did a lot of research on bootcamps and different choices and ultimately chose truecoders for their amazing price value, the fact that they had the job placement aspect, and that it is live class each day. Honestly this class would have been so amazing to take in person but due to covid that wasn't possible much like everything else these days. However with working with what they've got and their preparation to be 100% online I had an overall great experience.

However with working with what they've got and their preparation to be 100% online I had an overall great experience. If you get Michael as an instructor you're golden. Utilize the 1 on 1's. I will say however that the job placement aspect is much like others i've taken and so I had a good understanding of how to achieve this before and I didnt get too much more from this but was good to touch up. - Seaborn PattersonGraduate • Live - Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp • OnlineDec 18, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Strong Academics
Overall the course is worth taking. The instructors are helpful, they utilize technology in a good way (slack, zoom, google classroom). I would have liked it to me be a little more strict on deadlines, assignment completion, etc. After the first few weeks the course becomes very independent, the instructor holds lecture everyday and is there for any and all questions, and I can't stress how helpful the instructors are, but there is no attendance and if you don't complete the course work ...Overall the course is worth taking. The instructors are helpful, they utilize technology in a good way (slack, zoom, google classroom). I would have liked it to me be a little more strict on deadlines, assignment completion, etc. After the first few weeks the course becomes very independent, the instructor holds lecture everyday and is there for any and all questions, and I can't stress how helpful the instructors are, but there is no attendance and if you don't complete the course work then no big deal it seems. This may work for some people, but part of the reason I took the course was to have that person standing behind me with a whip so to speak. Again, others may like this aspect. The only real problem I had with the course is that the job placement side of things is really just career advice and networking. To be fair they do hold job placement talks twice a week, in these talks they go over things like, how to build a resume, setting up your LinkedIn, sample interview questions, etc. What they don't do, is put you in front of jobs, at most, they might set you up with the handshake and pass you off, that is, if they (by chance) have a connection with the company you are seeking. If you are looking for a school where recruiters will join your chat or even have job postings regularly presented to the students, this is not for you. My experience with this side of the school was, "we have a huge network of companies that we work with, so we can help you get a job", which more or less translated into, "if you find a job you want to apply for (on your own) ask me, and I might have a connection to that person/company". I will admit that I did not attend most of the job placement talks, mostly because they seemed elementary, e.g. "if you are going to interview, read the job description and prepare yourself, come up with questions", maybe its just me, but these things seem obvious. I'm not trying to say that this is completely negative, I will admit that the talks are motivational and will keep your mind in a positive place, and it will help you keep the sense that it is possible and you will change your life from this decision. However, for me there was a clear disconnect between the level of professionalism and expertise of the instructors compared with the job placement side. If you are looking to learn how to code in a variety of languages from little to no experience, you have come to the right place.
TL;DR - Good school, mediocre job placement. - Howard S. TutwilerGraduate • Software Engineering Onsite Full-Time Day • BirminghamDec 17, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
