TrueCoders

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 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.

I highly recommend TrueCoders Live Full Stack Software Engineering Program for anyone looking to launch a career in software engineering or to enhance their skills in this field. The program is 9 weeks of instruction and hands-on training in front end and back end aspects of full stack software engineering. This program has a focus on back-end architecture and deployment.


The instructors at TrueCoders are knowledgeable and passionate about teaching and providing a supportive learning environment. They have 1:1 sessions available to further explain concepts and provide additional support on exercises. They want you to understand each concept before moving on to the next, which is incredibly important in a field as complex and ever-changing as software engineering.


The curriculum is comprehensive and up-to-date, covering the latest technologies and tools used in the industry today. The program also builds a portfolio of applications to demonstrate your capabilities and understanding to employers, which is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to enter the workforce.


The support from the TrueCoders team doesn't end after graduation. They offer ongoing career services and job placement assistance, which can be incredibly helpful for those just starting out in their careers.


Overall, TrueCoders Live Full Stack Software Engineering Program is an excellent choice for anyone looking to gain the skills and experience needed to excel in the field of software engineering. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking for a high-quality, comprehensive, and supportive learning experience.

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. Secondly, I asked some friends and family that are senior level developers what they thought based on the course material. They all had positive responses and told me that this course had a great foundation to start with. 

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!! 

Coming into the course, the only experience I had with coding was from a few YouTube videos that I had watched. Now, I have the confidence and experience to get a job. The course was very well paced and the instructor made sure that I fully understood each assignment and lesson before moving onto the next. The assignments are constructed towards helping you build a resume that will be more appealing towards employers and you even complete a few projects that will help you stand out among other candidates. In terms of helping you prepare for the job search, there are weekly sessions with career services to help you construct a resume, prepare for interviews, and give you the knowledge of what it takes to get a job in the field of software development. 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. 

TrueCoders is a great, cost effective bootcamp especially for students who have no background in coding. 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!

I always had interest in software development, but could not find a respectable and lively camp that really put their best foot forward into helping you gain the knowledge in coding. Very versatile from the lectures, videos, 1-on-1 , exercises, quizzes & Discord. Plenty of tools that will help you succeed with learning and finding a job.  All is left is the effort you put into it. I appreciate TrueCoders for taking the time of being great in this craft, as I know I will use what I learned on my next endeavors.

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.  Someone is always readily available via discord or through Zoom. This was honestly the BEST DECISION EVER. When it comes to helping you find a job Denise is always on top to teach you how to interview and how to style your resume. I'm currently looking for jobs now but I have no doubt in my mind that i will land one after this course.

I'll be graduating from this course in 2 days from the time that I'm writing this review. The course material moves at a good speed and is well laid out, but the real value of this program is the instructors and TAs. All of them have been great to work with and I always came out of the 1-on-1 sessions learning more than I could've anticipated. I think the goals are very realistic for what you need to accomplish. 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.

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.
