Turing School of Software & Design

Average Rating 4.77
221 Reviews 0 Courses

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.
