    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 an excellent choice.

    Turing provides a high-quality, well-rounded tech education.  In addition to learning specific coding skills, students also spend time learning about high-level tech concepts, job hunt strategies, networking opportunities, industry best practices, and how to be a valued, empathetic team member.  Key concepts include Test Driven Development and Agile Workflow, among many others.
    In terms of developing coding skills, instruction is delivered by knowledgable and practiced teachers who us...

    Software Developer

    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.

    Incredibly challenging & incredibly rewarding

    I landed at Turing after considering 3-4 other schools. What drew me in was the thorough curriculum, the length of the program, the program options, and the community. The length and thoroughness go hand in hand - with Turing being ~2x as long as most other programs I came across, it's inevitable that there will be a wider breath and depth of learning opportunities. Being able to choose between the front- and back-end programs means going even deeper, while also having the option to expl...
