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.

I signed up for the Full Stack C# bootcamp after two family members successfully found satisfying, high paying jobs after taking it. The instructors were great, informed and available to help for the full length of the course. Alumni hang out in the discord taking time out to help anyone who needs to, or they become TAs that help in class. All and all if you have the time and determination to learn coding this will course will get you there.- Aiden Watson-KnightStudent • Live - Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by GitHubNov 07, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Great Bootcamp
Before I joined TrueCoders, I was browsing different bootcamps without really finding one that fit what I was looking for. I was calling and contacting every bootcamp that I found to find if it was the right fit for me. When I called and was contacted by Cruz, he answered all my questions and was really supportive in finding the right fit. That's when I decided to join TrueCoders. The bootcamp really taught me a lot being a developer while pushing me to learn a lot in a short period.Before I joined TrueCoders, I was browsing different bootcamps without really finding one that fit what I was looking for.

Wonderful Course!!!
The TrueCoders experience is truly incredible. It is by far the best programming course I have ever taken! After nine weeks of helpful Instructors/TA's, excellent course material, and hard work, it is no joke that I am already making websites and much more! The job help in this course is amazing. No other course that I have heard of has what Denise(Director of Career Services) has to offer... I'm serious!

Fantastic Bootcamp!
I took the Full-Stack Software Engineering Day Course, and I am amazed at how much we learned in only 9 weeks. TrueCoders was definitely worth the time and money. I am walking away with the confidence that I can go get a job as a Software Engineer. You will need to put in hard work, but they do a great job of guiding you with a great learning flow/structure and progressively more difficult lessons. If you are interested in Software Engineering, TrueCoders is the way to go! - Andre RenaudStudent • Live - Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by GitHubNov 02, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Excellent and fun very helpful!!!!!!
This bootcamp taught me so much! When I was first going to join, I was not sure if it would be too hard something would happen but everything is GREAT!!! The prices are low and the bootcamp is only 9 weeks! I learned so much and I am very thankful that TrueCoders could help me :) - Kaylie PhillipsGraduate • Live - Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by GitHubNov 02, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I signed up for the full-time 9 week Software Engineering class. I was completely new to software engineering and by the end of my 9 weeks I felt ready to go start applying for jobs. This bootcamp prepares you both for the actual work you will be doing and for the career/job hunt side. Each week their amazing and energetic career services lady, Denise, comes into the class and goes over how to build a great resume, LinkedIn, and what else you need to do to promote yourself so you can find a job. She also offers one-on-ones to help you as well. You have class from 9-3 CST each day where the teacher lectures over zoom for part of the day and then you work on your assignments/projects with the teacher and TAs around to help answer any questions. They record the lesson so you can rewatch it if necessary. The entire company wants you to succeed. Each week they ask for a review and the president reached out to address my concerns one of the weeks. They are also there for you after graduation to help as needed. To fully succeed and get everything done inside the 9 weeks be prepared to spend extra time outside of class hours. I am so glad I took this class and would highly recommend it! - Julian RenaudGraduate • Live - Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by GitHubNov 02, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing Course!
When I started this course, I thought it would be very overwhelming, and I was not sure if I would succeed in learning to code.

The one-on-one help and the true interest of the instructors to make you successful are impressive. The course I completed was taught by Ben Bryant who has a real talent for teaching. He not only explains the information well, but he also has a gift of being able to see how the student is learning and provide extra assistance in helping that student to fully understand the problem and solution.
I was concerned about that the course was being taught online. My concern was eliminated immediately. There is much interaction. I also appreciate that the classes are recorded. If you miss something or didn’t understand it the first time, you can access that portion again and again.
In addition to the lead instructor and assistants being super helpful, the entire staff of TrueCoders is interested and invested in your success. The career services department met with the class once a week and provided expert knowledge of how to use the knowledge gained to actually get you moving in the right direction for a career. - Jayden RicotGraduate • BirminghamVerified by LinkedInOct 03, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I was convinced by a couple of my friends in the industry that I would be a good fit for the for coding because I was also getting into UX/UI Design. When I joined this bootcamp was intense starting from day one. It's a rigorous curriculum and it requires tunnel vision, commitment, and perseverance. Be prepared to work hard every day from Mon - Fri for the 9 weeks and time flies. The instructors are amazing with access to 1 on 1 meetings if you need assistance with anything. Putting in the effort and time you will have great starting point for your future career as a developer.
Once I completed the TrueCoders Full Stack Web Development course I came out very knowledgeable in Git, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, SQL, and Node. When I started this bootcamp I had no idea it would change my life. Just put in the work and the rest will happen and in no time, you will be a developer. I just wanted to thank TrueCoders again and I would recommend this bootcamp to anybody that is interested in breaking into the industry you won’t regret it. - YJGraduate • BirminghamVerified by GitHubOct 01, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great jumpstart to your coding career
I joined TrueCoders after leaving my job to pursue another one that would be meaningful in the long run. Coming to the program without back-end knowledge was daunting at first, but it soon became enjoyable after digesting information with instructors' lectures, videos, and 1-1 sessions. I also really liked the fact that there were more than one instructor per class ready to answer questions along the way, which made the students feel at ease when wanting to tackle ambiguities.

I also really liked the fact that there were more than one instructor per class ready to answer questions along the way, which made the students feel at ease when wanting to tackle ambiguities.
One area that I believe could be improved is career services. Most of the information given addressed how to "search" for jobs, but they did not address how to "stand out" among other competitors. Examples include how to setup a portfolio to showcase projects, how to build on and strengthen the skills that are desirable to employers (i.e. recommendation of materials/sites that can be utilized after graduation), and what different things can be done if the job application process takes too long. Keep on learning, applying, and connecting was too vague of an advice and did not provide a pragmatic perspective. - Jupiter DesphyGraduate • Live - Full-Stack Web Development Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by GitHubOct 01, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Recap By A Fresh Grad
"Bootcamp" is really the right word for it. It was a brutal 9-week period not for the faint of heart. As they tell you when you start, putting in extra time is really how you'll succeed and those that do are who the course is geared for. Everyday was a mental workout that really kept me on a pace I wouldn't have been able to hold myself accountable to had I gone the self-taught route. Ben, our instructor, along with the teacher's assistants were incredibly knowledgeable and committed to ..."Bootcamp" is really the right word for it. It was a brutal 9-week period not for the faint of heart. As they tell you when you start, putting in extra time is really how you'll succeed and those that do are who the course is geared for. Everyday was a mental workout that really kept me on a pace I wouldn't have been able to hold myself accountable to had I gone the self-taught route. Ben, our instructor, along with the teacher's assistants were incredibly knowledgeable and committed to each individual's success. They seem to polymorph with ease as professor, coach, and mental personal trainer. Really glad I made the choice to go with TrueCoders. The bang for your buck is really impressive when considering the ongoing support they offer, job assistance, and an initial network many of us don't have being new to the industry.
Thinking back at when I was reading reviews on this very site, which led me to TrueCoders, there's a few things I would want to know:
First off... It's going to be harder than you think. Period.
It's a rigorous curriculum and a heavy workload no matter how smart or hardworking you are. In a perfect world, the course would be a week or two longer. But in reality, it would probably make it difficult for them to keep it so affordable, and you're probably eyeing TrueCoders for both its competitive price and the shorter time commitment when compared to a 6-month bootcamp. I took a free sample course at Alchemy before starting this course, and it really gave me a leg up. Theirs was particularly great but I would really suggest taking advantage of something in that vein to give you both prep and preview.
Secondly, most people are not going to have a job lined up right after they graduate. This isn't specific to TrueCoders. As you may know, programming is a highly sought after and highly compensated skillset. However, getting your first job may be a slog, so do your research and budget accordingly. At the end of the program, you'll have all the tools you need to build on. Some will want to pursue internships, others entry level developers. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't change a thing. TrueCoders was a perfect launching pad into the industry.
