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.

MERN Web Dev
Going into this program I barely knew what HTML was. I was told by several experienced developers that they thought I would be a good fit for Web Dev. I am very glad I picked TrueCoders, they have taught me a ton in a very short amount of time. Be prepared for a whirlwind of 2 months of hard study. The instruction is amazing, and if you put in the effort and time you will be rewarded with a great starting place for your future career.

I came out of this with a good foundation in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React.js, and Node.js. The career services portion is very useful too, just do it. Knowing that I have permanent access to all my sessions, material, and instructors as an Alumni is very comforting. Had a blast learning alongside my fellow classmates as well. - Jennie DufferGraduate • Live - Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by LinkedInSep 29, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

After checking out a variety of bootcamps, I am so glad I chose TrueCoders! The instructors created a great learning environment and were very patient throughout the 9 weeks. In addition, the program offers a Career Service session each week to help students gear up for the interview process! 1:1 sessions with instructors and Career Services were readily available to provide assistance even outside of class time.

Great experience from start to finish! Found TrueCoders by them Sponsoring a YouTube video. Great material coverage for just 9 weeks. I went through the Full Stack Software Engineering Day Course. All of the instructors were very nice, and understanding. They would adjust their teaching technique to fit every student's learning style which was great if you felt you didn't understand something during the lessons and exercises.- Elizabeth KennedyFull Stack Web Developer • Graduate • Live - Full-Stack Web Development Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by GitHubSep 29, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
One of the best experiences of my life
I thoroughly investigated the plethora of coding bootcamps available on the market before deciding TrueCoders was the one for me. From the very first day of class, it was unequivocally clear that I made the right choice. The TrueCoders Full-Stack Web Development program is a robust 9-week intensive course through which I acquired a highly desirable technical skill set, and I had minimal (read: basically zero) prior coding experience. Now I have what it takes to successfully join the work...I thoroughly investigated the plethora of coding bootcamps available on the market before deciding TrueCoders was the one for me. From the very first day of class, it was unequivocally clear that I made the right choice. The TrueCoders Full-Stack Web Development program is a robust 9-week intensive course through which I acquired a highly desirable technical skill set, and I had minimal (read: basically zero) prior coding experience. Now I have what it takes to successfully join the workforce as an IT professional -- and I can do so with confidence, knowing I'll be able to keep up with and make equally valuable contributions as any colleagues who earned four-year degrees in a similar field of study.
In terms of intensity, the Full Stack Web Development course is indeed a bootcamp. It requires commitment and dedication. If you are willing to show up and work hard, you will quickly discover the same joy I found in my own learning process. At the end of your course, you will wonder how 9 weeks seemed to pass by so quickly. Time flies when you are engaged in a beautiful and enriching process of self-improvement!
The entire TrueCoders staff is outstanding. You will meet warm and welcoming administrators who answer every question and prepare you for a life-changing academic experience. You will interact with extremely gifted and talented instructors who lead the magic of the classes and patiently guide you through any challenge you might encounter along the way. You will be inspired by the one-of-a-kind director of career services who provides sunshine and encouragement on a daily basis, and you will stand in respectful awe of the brilliant man whose visionary thinking launched the whole remarkable enterprise. You will also learn valuable networking skills as you establish friendships with fellow students that are personally and professionally rewarding.
TrueCoders coding bootcamps, both Web Development and Software Engineering, are the real deal. You will learn front-end (client-side) and back-end (server-side) languages and receive plenty of hands-on training, working with databases, libraries, platforms, and frameworks, as you create your own applications and projects. You will feel genuine elation and a proud sense of accomplishment every time you see the code you've written suddenly come to life on the monitor.
You won't find a better educational opportunity anywhere else. The tuition is competitively priced, there are a variety of financing options, and the elegant curriculum is top-notch. The instructors regularly stayed well beyond the end of class for us, and they were always willing to provide individually-tailored, 1-on-1 instruction. Same with the administrative staff, director of career services, and the President/Owner/C.E.O., too. Whatever you need, all you have to do is ask, and they will go the distance to support you, so that you feel valued and are truly set up for success.
I started out at TrueCoders looking for a career change; I had no idea how profoundly this program would change my life for the better. Every person I have met at TrueCoders holds a special place in my heart, and I consider each and every one of them to be a part of my extended family. - Zachariah OlenikCorrections Officer • Student • Software Engineering Onsite Full-Time Day • BirminghamVerified by LinkedInSep 29, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

TrueCoders changed my life
I came to TrueCoders after developing serious anxiety about people, to learn the coding background I would need for a career in C#, Html, and a hint of JavaScript! Not only did the instructors do an amazing job at teaching the material, but they also went out of their way to help you pretty much any time of night(within reason). I would recommend TrueCoders to friends and family in the future! - Ihab AdStudent • Graduate • OnlineVerified by LinkedInSep 29, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Incredible experience
In the TrueCoders Full Stack Software Engineering day course I was able to expand upon my knowledge of object oriented programming and complete a functioning application with the help of the primary teacher, John Ward, and TAs Amorris Mallet, Jose Villalobos and Morgan Fulbright. With this knowledge and the career services of Denise Shines I was able to successfully interview for a position before the end of the course. - Travis GerschStudent • Graduate • Live - Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by LinkedInAug 26, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

They provide an affordable online full-stack curriculum for both web developers and software developers, with the option of a 9-week full-time course or a flex option where you can go at your own pace. The best part about either of those options is that you are provided the same resources regardless. You have access to all the instructors, teaching assistants, students in your cohort, past alumni, career services, 1-on-1 appointments through their respective discord channels as well as all the course work, documentation, and past recorded training videos, exercise videos, class sessions and career services talks via their online student portal. And a huge bonus is that you will have access to these resources F-O-R-E-V-E-R! There was never a time where help wasn't available to me when I needed it. Honestly, I can't recommend TrueCoders enough and I'm certain there's many more positives and benefits than what I've already stated. Check out another review below by one of my classmates, Nancy Lee, for more insight and validity to my support for this course. The most useful thing I can say is whether you're fresh or seasoned, you'll come out better in the end with TrueCoders. - Jordan LockwoodJr Software dev • StudentVerified by LinkedInAug 26, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Full stack software development
True coders have been really good to me, the pace is fast but you have access to a number of TA's and teachers at most times of the day. If the pace is too fast they are willing to move you to a flex program where just as much help is given. The biggest boon is even after you have compleated the course you are welcome and encouraged to stay on their discord and access to the lesson portal! They have wonderful help with job placement and getting you ready for the application process!

Great way to learn the fundamentals of coding quickly!
Before committing to TrueCoders as a bootcamp, I took awhile scouting other bootcamps and speaking with their counselors. I ended up choosing TrueCoders and I am definitely glad I did! They offer an affordable 9-week course for both Full Time Software Engineering or Software Development - as well as flex courses for those who work or have a busy life schedule. I decided to quit my job and go for the 9-week Full Time Software Engineering course. The biggest decision for me was that I did ...Before committing to TrueCoders as a bootcamp, I took awhile scouting other bootcamps and speaking with their counselors. I ended up choosing TrueCoders and I am definitely glad I did! They offer an affordable 9-week course for both Full Time Software Engineering or Software Development - as well as flex courses for those who work or have a busy life schedule. I decided to quit my job and go for the 9-week Full Time Software Engineering course. The biggest decision for me was that I did not want to be 'away from the job market' for 6+ months like the other bootcamp courses. I can say that in the end, 9 weeks was enough for me to gain the knowledge I needed to be confident that I am a sprouting Software Engineer! Their courses were very thorough and each module helped me understand how to apply coding along with various options on how to solve exercises.
I highly recommend TrueCoders for a number of reasons to anyone whether you are changing your career paths or starting one! I initially thought I'd be intimidated taking courses with possible other students/teachers who already had coding knowledge and that I'd be far behind. However, they go through the basics and provided pre-course work to get yourself familiar with the concepts. Our instructor, John, was a C# guru and really knew his stuff, he was also patient, fun, and cool - he always made time for us during class and afterwards to address any of our questions. We also had 3 Teacher's Assistants for a class size of roughly 25. That means PLENTY of one-on-one time during lectures, and afterwards too.
I did not feel like I ever fell behind from all the help they provided. Students can also schedule 1-on-1's with other teachers too! There is always someone who can help. Every teacher is willing to take his time to answer your questions and provides special care and attention to EACH student! What company does that!
Every week we also had our Career Services coach, Denise, meet with us to provide much needed guidance on helping us set ourselves up to find that dream job and pass that interview. We need a daily dose of Denise - she's one of the most enthusiastic and charismatic person you'd ever meet! Always leaves your cheeks cramped from smiling/laughing.
The course curriculum is organized very well and each lesson has great and challenging exercises. The coursework is just right, not too overwhelming nor too light. I didn't feel like I was burning myself out while cramming in a ton of info in a short amount of time. What makes TrueCoders stand out from the rest is their attention to providing one-on-one help to their students. It's not just a lecture and goodbye. Give it a try and be off to the next chapter of your career - you won't be disappointed!
