MAX Part-Time JAVA/C#(.NET) Coding Bootcamp

I graduated from the part-time class and was then placed at a job. I have the kind of job I've dreamed about, because of this course. The instructors had impressive mastery of the material, and different but effective teaching styles. I believe that weather you already have some amateur experience with coding, or have little or no prior knowledge, this class can take you to a place where you can comprehend complex ideas and techniques, and in multiple languages, but you better believe you have to work hard to get that return on your investment. The career assistance program is just as helpful as the technical training. I completed this course while also working as a restaurant manager. I worked and studied, or attended class and studied, every single day for 7 months. Then, with the ample assistance of the amazing career services staff, and more daily work, I found a job that I believe will open my future to amazing possibilities.

Enrolling in MAX Technical Training Java boot camp in 2018 is one of my best career decisions. MAX helped me learn web development skills I needed to take my career to the next level. As an alumna, I appreciate the support Annette, their Career Manager, gives me. Her coaching helped think through the career move I just made. She connected me to I company that is an excellent fit for me. 
If I were you, I’d ask what sets MAX a part from others. A big one for me is they have a part time program and a full time one. I didn’t want to quit my job. I was doing some database and Java Swing programming. I needed web development skills to advance my career. I think the part time pace is better. You have the time to let the information sink in and use techniques like spaced repetition to enhance your learning. 
Another big factor for me is MAX is well established in Cincinnati. Their first boot camp was in 2012. Tech Elevator, for example, entered the Cincinnati market in 2017. For me, that translated to fewer alumni to connect with and less of a pulse on the Cincinnati market.
One last thing that sets MAX apart: on top of the technical and interview prep curriculum, they teach SCRUM. Many tech companies use this project management framework. Knowing the basics made my transition to my post-boot camp job smoother.

Take a part time developer course and add a pandemic on top of that and you have certainly got a challenge on your hands. Luckily, I chose Max Technical where they were able to be flexible and immediately pivot to fully virtual classes. My classmates and I still received excellent support, with the instructors making themselves available for 1 on 1 sessions, staying late after classes, and deciphering any confused looks we may have had over webcam.Learning the information is only half the battle, there is still the matter of finding a job to begin your new career. When I tell you Max is like a family and EVERYONE is invested in your success, I mean it. I got calls and support from everyone at the organization from the job coach to the CEO. I was personally in the unique situation of getting into a a new job during the bootcamp, which had me dragging my feet on getting started in a developer role. They were patient with me while I took the necessary steps to move into a programming career. Six months after graduation, we found the perfect role for me and I have never looked back.I would highly recommend this camp. Like with learning all new things, it is a challenge, but you want to be somewhere that the Bootcamp is just as invested as seeing you win. Here you definitely have the support to get through AND move into a new career.

After struggling to decide what I wanted to do when I grew up, I came across MAX Technical Training where I was able to learn all of the necessary skills needed to be a full-stack developer in one place. I was weary because of the cost, but financial aid was available which helped make my decision. The staff and instructors were extremely friendly and there for me every step throughout the bootcamp. They truly want each and every student to succeed and they work hard to make that happen. Before starting the bootcamp, I was working full-time and wasn’t sure a bootcamp would fit into my schedule. But once I found out that MAX had a part-time bootcamp.. I was sold! This was the best decision I ever made for myself and my career. I am now a software developer at The Cincinnati Insurance Companies and I’m extremely happy. I’m so grateful for each and every MAX employee that helped get me to where I am today!

Max Technical Training takes the daunting process of learning the skills necessary to become an employable software developer and demystifies the experience. Their team of industry veterans and professionals covers every element necessary to land you a job quickly after graduation. My class was taught mostly by Sean Blessing. He was as dedicated and passionate a teacher as any. Career counseling services were an integral part of the experience as well, from technical interview practice to resume writing and networking events. I have nothing but high praise for this program and the team of professionals who administer it.
