Turing School of Software & Design is a federally accredited, online tech training provider turning driven students into professional developers. Turing offers a Software Engineering program, which is aimed at career changers. The program covers four modules: object-oriented programming (Ruby, JavaScript), web application development (Rails, JavaScript), professional web applications, and cross-team processes and applications. Within the final module, students will choose to focus on front end development with Javascript/React or back end development with Ruby/Rails. The staff at Turing emphasizes their educational experience, not just their years as developers, and promises that successful graduates of the school will be valuable contributors to the company they choose to work for through community-driven education. While the programs are fully online, Turing students are required to live within 2 hours (+/-) MST.

Those applying to the Software Engineering program should anticipate spending 1-2 hours on the application process, which includes a written application and a Zoom interview. 

Students will receive career support through the four modules of the Software Engineering program. This support includes resumes, cover letters, job shadowing, and job coaching. Graduates will participate in small-group job coaching sessions, where they can work with peers and staff to build and execute their job search strategy. Alumni are allowed to participate in these sessions for as long as it takes them to find a tech role. Alumni who are on the job hunt for their second or third role after graduating are also welcome to reach out to Turing School for job support.

    Not perfect, but definitely worth it

    I officially finished my program at Turing today. As a previous bootcamp student at another institution who had a bad experience, I was definitely nervous at first that this would go sour again. While there were definitely some bumps along the road, overall I would say my time at Turing was worth the money. The instructors were supportive and the curriculum is very strong compared to most bootcamps. I definitely feel ready for the job hunt. My two points for criticism both concern the la...

    Fascinating, Challenging, Rewarding

    Turing's program is simply excellent in all areas. The coursework is challenging, yet closely aligned with the real problems one tackles in the field of software development. While the learning progression is rapid, the curriculum is well scaffolded to bring learners along. There is a strong focus on the soft skills required to work as a part of a modern development team as reinforced by projects and assignments in teams of various sizes. Turing's ability to impart soft skills was someth...

    Invested teachers, caring community, and crazy amounts of coding

    Turing School was probably one of the best decisions of my life. As someone who knew very little about coding before starting, I felt very taken care of throughout my time there. From an introductory program on getting your computer set up before even starting the main program to teachers making changes on the fly to accommodate the classes needs, Turing works hard to make the experience relevant, engaging, and productive. The instructors were incredible, taking time to answer questions ...

    Best Decision I’ve ever made

    Turing was the best investment I could have made to help launch my career change. After spending a little over 2 years at a 4 year university I found that Turing actually helped build on my knowledge and provided the networking and community needed to succeed.

    Great Community and Curriculum

    I recently completed the Back End Engineering Program at Turing School of Software & Design, and it has been an incredible experience. This seven-month coding boot camp focused on developer collaboration and Ruby on Rails. 

    First and foremost, while I have yet to secure a developer job, the support I received from Turing School has been outstanding. They go above and beyond to assist students with optimizing their resumes and LinkedIn profiles. They also provide networking str...

    Incredible Experience, Very Challenging and Career Finding Support

    Turing is an incredible program. It is 100% remote and the learning quality is just as good as in person. Technology has evolved to allow the remote learning experience to become as good as in person. The instructors are really good and the curriculum is rigorous. You also get access to the Turing network. Turing people hire Turing people. The program has has a job assistance team that is very good. They will help you with resume, cover letter prep, interview prep, etc.

    Has to be one of the best!

    Turing has everything someone looking to break into tech would look for. The program is designed to take someone from 0 to entry-level/junior in 7 (or 9) months and reliably does just that. The program is highly focused on diversity and inclusion and always ensures that everyones voice is heard. The coursework is very challenging, but Turing provides countless resources including fantastic instructors and mentors to help you get through it, and also has an amazing career team at the read...

    Amazing community and quality education

    I participated in the Backend Engineering program with Turing and had a fantastic experience. The instructors throughout the entire program were excellent - knowledgable, supportive, and kind. The curriculum was great, and notably more comprehensive than what other schools offer. There's a real focus on building not just the technical knowledge of web app creation, but also the familiarity with industry tools and practices - specifically working collaboratively on group projects using Gi...

    Backend Engineer

    Turing was more challenging and more rewarding than I could have imagined before experiencing it. The amount of support throughout the entire experience was exceptional. There will always be someone who's ahead of you in learning and that's alright because the community you're in with your peers, mentors(who are alumni themselves), and instructors are always willing to support your learning. There were folks who had to "repeat" sections of school and it wasn't something looked down upon ...

    Turing is equal parts challenging and rewarding. Be prepared for very long hours, challenging coursework and a strong, multifaceted support structure. Be ready to challenge your own assumptions, confront your biases and reflect on your own habits. Turing is as much about personal growth as it is about learning to develop software, which is what makes it so unique and rewarding.

    Front End Developer

    I came from an engineering background and decided to attend because I had heard the success stories. I learned a TON and have already almost doubled my salary at my first developer position. It's definitely a marathon, so be prepared for some exhausting nights! Ultimately it's worth it though because I feel that the tools they provided have completely prepared me for my future in web development.
