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.

Amazing experience
Came here with little experience and loved every minute of it. Going from nothing to developing my own projects in 9 weeks was beyond my expectations. The material is easy to follow and the instructors and assistants are always there to help you and do it in a way that challenge your thinking. It’s more affordable than other boot camps and worth every moment. - Richard MorrisGraduate • Live - Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by LinkedInMar 30, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
BEST BOOTCAMP OUT THERE FOR THE PRICE
5 Stars all the way because all my expectations were met!!
I researched and inquired with many boot camps before deciding to choose TrueCoders. The affordability is mainly what drove my decision.

I started this course with absolutely no knowledge of Coding. I learned more in nine weeks than I ever could have imagined! The staff was always helpful. It was more than noticeable they were passionate about teaching and sharing their knowledge. The biggest aspect is that they are all out for your best interest! That is to instill enough knowledge to pursue a position in the Software Engineering world upon graduation!
I liked that we had weekly meetings with career services to gain confidence in ourselves, developing our personal brand and learning tips and many avenues when pursuing a career in Software Engineering.
I liked that everything we learned on a daily basis had purpose moving on to the next subject. This was consistent and made everything really come together by the end of the course!
Overall, TrueCoders was a great experience! It was challenging, not too hard on the wallet, I learned more than I imagined I would, and most of all I can honestly say that I am confident in pursuing a position in Software Engineering now!! - Sawyer TarrGraduate • Live - Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by GitHubMar 30, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Also, most of the alumni before are ready and willing to talk to you about their experiences with the program, projects they are working on, and the job search they went through after completing the program. - Jack KesslerStudent • Live - Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by LinkedInMar 30, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

If you are reading this review, you most likely are shopping around and trying to decide which coding bootcamp is the best fit for you (or you should be...).
Since TrueCoders is one of the shortest programs out there (at least out of the ones that I reviewed) at only 9 weeks, it is unrealistic to cover as much curriculum/topics as other programs that are 6 or even 3 months long. TrueCoders lays a great foundation for students in providing fundamental knowledge via lectures and practical coding practice through various projects.
A perfect example of the trade-off that you sign up for with TrueCoders is the following: For the software-engineering track, TrueCoders goes into depth in C# but not nearly as much in JavaScript whereas in a 6 month program, you would go just as in depth (and probably even in more depth) in both C# and JavaScript (and maybe even a 3rd or 4th language). However, you are also paying twice as much for the other bootcamps (or at least considerably more).
IF - and it is a big if - you have confidence that you can take what you learned ABOUT HOW TO LEARN A CODING LANGUAGE in TrueCoders going through it once with C# and be able to leave the proverbially nest to learn other languages not taught in depth / at all like JavaScript or Python, then TrueCoders is probably the best value buy out there and will be a great fit for you. If you would like more hands-on guidance for a longer period of time, then maybe a longer bootcamp is for you (which will be more expensive).
The curriculum and instructors were good in the sense that they met my expectations. The reason why I gave them 4 stars is because I feel that I would have gotten around the same experience with other bootcamps in these two categories. There was really nothing in the curriculum where I went "WOW - I bet no other bootcamp out there is doing this!". However, the curriculum was well built (although, again shallow in various areas due to the 9 week time constraint) and well explained.
Regarding the instructors, I had a very professional and good instructor. Really what made it for me, however, was an extremely knowledgeable on-call "Instructor" that would basically only do individual tutoring sessions (or 1 on 1s). I asked him at least one question a day, and he was very, very helpful. He was the biggest contributing factor to my overall positive experience at TrueCoders. Unfortunately, there were a few other "instructors" that were not responsive to messages - either basically said "I am busy. Sorry" or did not even respond. To be clear, this was not my main instructor who was always very responsive. However, I did expect at least a message back. Again, this could happen at any bootcamp though, so I do not knock TrueCoders too much for this.
For the last category of Job Assistance, the jury is still out. As of this writing, I just graduated from TrueCoders and just started to apply to jobs 3 days ago. Only time will tell if the preparation and advice given for job assistance will pay off. I will say that this is one area where TrueCoders is putting in visible effort to support students though. There is dedicated time each week where the a member of the Career Services team will talk to the cohort about everything related to job hunting from the very basics of resume and LinkedIn creation to interview practice. While the information is out there on the web if you look for it, it is very helpful to have it all available in one place and - most importantly - have a veteran person who has many years of experience in HR and recruiting as a resource to who you can ask questions to.
To wrap up, you could debate for hours which bootcamp has the best curriculum and why. TrueCoders is not going to be #1 on that list based on curriculum alone, although it would be at least in the middle of the pack (again - there is only 9 weeks). However, I believed before the program started and still believe after having now completed the program that TrueCoders is at the top of, if not #1, from a cost-value perspective. This again, however, hinges on two factors: 1. Make sure that C# is a programming language that is desired at whatever company you want to work for (because many bootcamps teach JavaScript or Python instead) and 2. You have to be ready to CONTINUE learning on your own after the bootcamp. The way I justify it is that I am using the difference in length from a 3 or 6 month program and the 9 week TrueCoders camp to start the "second half" of my bootcamp that is self-guided and FREE! The reality is that most everyone in the class does NOT have jobs lined up before they graduate. It will probably take the large majority of us a month or two (or even longer) to get a job. However, 9 weeks + 1 or 2 months is still a total of 3 - 4 months which is on par (yet more flexible and cheaper) than if I signed up for a 3 month bootcamp.
I am still happy with my choice to sign up for TrueCoders, and I am ready to keep putting in the work to keep improving now that the bootcamp has finished.
Best of luck to you in your search! - Luke DixonStudent • Live - Full-Stack Web Development Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by GitHubDec 09, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Best Bootcamp ever!
First of all my instructor Hunter for the Fullstack web development course was awesome! He articulated his thoughts and ideas very well, in a manner that was detailed but also easy to understand.

At first I was a little hesitant to signup for the simple fact that I thought it would be too hard. After a couple of weeks into the course I finally started to catch on with the constant help of the instructor and TA's. They taught the course very well and even if I did not understand a certain part of the material, they were more than happy to stop and slow down or even go over anything you needed.

The Best Bootcamp
I knew little of coding and 0 experience so this was the perfect for me when I found TrueCoders. They teach you the coding knowledge you will need to succeed. The classes are small, which I liked and they take the time to address any questions you may have throughout the courses. The instructor is great and the TA's too. Everyone is friendly, supportive and helpful.
10/10 I would highly recommend TrueCoders to a friend. - Kahvi SabatinoGraduate • Live - Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by GitHubDec 08, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Down to Earth Coding Bootcamp
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience having gone through this 9 week program. My Instructor, Jeremy, was down to earth, and created a great learning environment without fear of judgement or additional stress. TrueCoders provided many means of assistance, with standby TA's and options for 1v1 sessions during or after class. I appreciate the encouragement and standby help I've received Jeremy, Monica and Morgan! - Tyson LindGraduate • Graduate • Live - Full-Stack Web Development Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by GitHubDec 07, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

While a course like this is only as good as what you put into it, I think this course gives you ever opportunity to get a lot out of it if you take advantage of their 1-on-1s and reading materials. I came into this already having some experience with HTML/CSS/JS and so I wasn't sure whether I would sign up for the C#/ASP.Net or the React/Node stack, but I have no regrets about my decision. It was challenging, but doable and gave me all of the tools that I needed to be able to start producing full stack applications by the end of the course. - Kyle JenneGraduate • BirminghamVerified by LinkedInDec 07, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
