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.

They did not help me get a job
Compared to other bootcamps, the price is low. The daily access to mentors via Zoom is nice. The program is well structured and pretty much every lesson has associated videos that were made by TrueCoders if you want them. The videos themselves just seem to be recordings from previous workshops and classes, but they're still useful. Having said all that, I enrolled in this program because I was hoping for a fast track to a job.

The program is well structured and pretty much every lesson has associated videos that were made by TrueCoders if you want them. The videos themselves just seem to be recordings from previous workshops and classes, but they're still useful. Having said all that, I enrolled in this program because I was hoping for a fast track to a job. I completed a project while in the program, I have a TrueCoders certificate but alas I still have no job. So, I'm doing what I was doing before. Applying to 10 jobs a day. In summary, don't pay the money for this program if you're hoping for a job at the end of itMichael of TrueCoders

Hi Autif, I'm so glad we were able to speak and formulate a game plan going forward!The job search process is overwhelming when done on your own, and that's why it's so important we meet regularly with our students until they're hired.Each student will need to adjust their strategy depending on the results they're seeing. If we send 300 applications and don't receive an interview, then something needs to be adjusted. This could be anything from our resume, to what type of jobs we're applying for, or even how we're applying to jobs. If we complete 15 interviews and don't receive an offer, then we need to find out what interview skills we need to work on, and attack them. That could be coding skills, that could be soft skills - every student is different.I want to stress this to any student or potential student reading this: We are here for you until you're hired, and we do not recommend applying for jobs on your own. We need to meet regularly to work on your progress and adjust tactics when needed. - Adam JankowskiFull stack developer • Graduate • Live - Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJun 02, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great people lots to learn
It's a lot harder than I anticipated and I don't necessarily believe that just anybody can learn to code or that you'll be 100% ready for a job in two months but nobody will be able to teach you the amount of information these people do in this short amount of time, nobody. They will also set you up beautifully on the career end and you will look like a professional coder by the end of class.

They will also set you up beautifully on the career end and you will look like a professional coder by the end of class. The staff and teachers are all wonderful and willing to do what it takes to help you succeed in any way they can. Would definitely recommend TrueCoders over anyone else.

TrueCoders helped me actually find a place where I feel like I can thrive. From the teachers to the resources, it’s by far the best! I never thought I’d be able to learn coding due to having ADHD but the instructors are SUPER helpful and when I had to be rushed to the hospital, my entire class and all my teachers reached out to me to make sure I was okay. I couldn’t imagine anywhere else doing that. All the instructors are top notch and really funny too! 1000000/10 would recommend enroll...TrueCoders helped me actually find a place where I feel like I can thrive.

A great introduction to programming
True Coders has helped me understand coding and programming tremendously. I started off not knowing almost anything about the Tech industry, and now I feel a lot more confident in my coding skills. The way the instructors take their time and help you along every step of the way helps a lot. We did multiple projects that showcase your skills in C# as well as SQL and many other languages. - Robert JordanGraduate • BirminghamVerified by LinkedInMay 06, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Software Engineering bootcamp
Took the full time software engineering course. I found the material to be easy to digest and challenging throughout. There were definitely times where I was overwhelmed but that is to be expected from a bootcamp. The course material is all there and you definitely need to put in the extra time and work to be able to learn it. Teachers and assistants were always available as well as career services. Now time to land a job! - Matthew PriceGraduate • Live - Full-Stack Web Development Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by GitHubMay 05, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Review for TrueCoders
TrueCoders is a great boot camp. At first glance, you look at the price and wonder why it is so much cheaper than most of the other boot camps. I had this same thought. It turns out that during Covid, they moved much of their business online and were able to cut down on overhead costs and they passed those savings along to the customers. The content is great, the instructors are very helpful and knowledgeable, and you can schedule as much one on one time after class as you would like. Th...TrueCoders is a great boot camp.

The content is great, the instructors are very helpful and knowledgeable, and you can schedule as much one on one time after class as you would like. They really want you to succeed here and it feels like I have done just that. I would highly recommend this boot camp to anyone looking to make a career change or looking to learn more about Web/software development! - NinaOGraduate • BirminghamVerified by GitHubMay 04, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
The best Bootcamp!
Great school to learn from, not just coding, but vital information that ordinarily would require years of work experience. Nine weeks duration, yet very rich (with useful contents that are current in the field) program. I learned from the best, Cruz, Amoriss, Ben, Doyle, Jeremy, Crowe, John W, Denise, Tadiya, Mike, Seth and others too numerous to mention.

I almost gave up continuing with the Software engineering program, but was greatly inspired and pulled through within the shortest space of time.
TrueCoders made me a better person than I was when I first started the program. It made me think deeply, focused right and desired to make it regardless. I appreciate you all! I saw in all you did, that all you want is for your students to succeed! I will recommend anyone who is looking for a Bootcamp or school to attend to try TrueCoders because it is worth it!!!

You get what you put in
In my experience, I had Jeremy as my instructor and Seth as my TA, and I must say they consistently demonstrated a high level of expertise in their teaching methods. Roughly 90% of the time, they were operating at a senior level, and the remaining 10% they may have had some difficulty, but they were always eager to learn and improve.
I found the lab TAs, Denise and Tadiya, to be just as valuable in enhancing my learning experience, which made me feel that...

I found the lab TAs, Denise and Tadiya, to be just as valuable in enhancing my learning experience, which made me feel that I received excellent value for my money. However, in this industry, job guarantees are often regarded as unreliable, which is why TrueCoders does not offer a job guarantee immediately after completing the course. While there is a possibility of securing a job within the first month, it ultimately depends on your external network, the effort you put into the class, and the effort you put into enhancing your skills to make yourself more employable.
In my opinion, I received the best value for my investment. Besides the knowledge and skills I gained, I also developed meaningful relationships with people from all around the world. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with such excellent instructors, and I value the experience gained from this course. - Jake JohnstonStudent • BirminghamVerified by GitHubMay 04, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

A Wonderful Introduction
The instructors at TrueCoders make it apparent from day one that they're here to help you take your career forward. The exercises are practical, concise, well written, and fun! Even more than that, the emphasis they place on individual 1 on 1's really make it a tailored experience.

Wonderful, well worth it
The can confidently say that I learned a ton of information and had the opportunity to practice my newly acquired skills during my time at TrueCoders. The staff is amazing and they introduce you to a community of experienced developers and other students, always willing and excited to help. There is weekly career services help to get you prepared for finding a job and you can always ask for more help. I'm very happy with my decision and would recommend this program.
