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.

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.- Adrienne UsiGraduate • Live - Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by GitHubFeb 08, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Best Bootcamp
Before joining this bootcamp, I was very hesitant. I didn't have any experience on coding, but gave it a shot because I wanted to shift to the tech industry. Best decision I ever made! The instructors here and TAs are the kindest and really thrives for every individual to learn, they won't make you feel any less if you're having a hard time understanding, they are very hands one.

The instructors here and TAs are the kindest and really thrives for every individual to learn, they won't make you feel any less if you're having a hard time understanding, they are very hands one. One of my favorite things that they offer was unlimited one on ones! This really helped me when I was falling behind on some exercise and projects! They also offer Career Services where you can do Mock interviews, get help fixing your resume, and basically molding you to be job ready! Other than that, this is one of the most affordable bootcamps that I've seen while I was researching. They offer many payment plans that fits your budget. And I took the live classes, which was only 9 weeks, compared to other bootcamps that usually take 3 to 6 months. Overall experience 10/10! and I'll be graduating tomorrow!! - Annie NusbaumGraduate • BirminghamVerified by GitHubJan 11, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The C# section was comprehensive, covering object-oriented programming, variables, methods, operators, and more. The course included practical aspects like debugging, exception handling, and NuGet packages. It concluded with a C# and SQL project, exploring C# Intermediate concepts using Dapper as an ORM.The bootcamp wrapped up with a project phase offering two options: building a full C.R.U.D application or developing a web application utilizing an API. This final project allowed for creative exploration and practical application of the skills acquired throughout the bootcamp. Overall, I had a great experience with TrueCoders, my instructor, Amoriss, was such an amazing teacher and was very knowledgable, patient and helpful. We have a Discord community that provides valuable resources and support, making it easy to seek help and collaborate with others. - ZanyaGraduate • BirminghamVerified by GitHubJan 06, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great Experience
This boot camp was one of the most challenging courses I’ve ever taken. The first few weeks were slow, then before I knew it, we were building and creating our own codes. I took the full stack software engineering course with Amorris. I literally couldn’t have asked for a better professor to guide me through the nine weeks. The only thing that I personally didn’t like, is how early I had to get up to be in class. Everything is through zoom so it was helpful. But I’m not an early bird.

Coding Bootcamp
When I first decided to take a coding bootcamp I was hesitant to go through TurueCoders. 9 weeks just did not seem like enough time. After speaking to one of the founders I decided to sign up and I am very glad that I did. The program is challenging but the instructor keeps everyone on pace. They also have a great community on discord. Many of the alumni are still involved and everyone helps out when they can. - Graham SpencerGraduate • Live - Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by LinkedInOct 26, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The constant availability for one on one teaching and assistance from both the teaching teams, TA's, and career services allows you to access someone regardless of what type of help you might need.
The course itself was structured in such a way that was natural and conducive to learning despite where your starting point may be. Flowing from the absolute fundamentals of Git and front-end, to the meat of the back-end, and finally how to piece it all together for a true full-stack program. The projects we also well structured and well placed. At no point in this course do you feel like you are wasting time or don't have the tools to succeed.
