Coding Temple

I worked in Mortgage Lending before studying to work in tech. I chose the self paced course because it would allow me to keep my job while I was studying. The self paced course includes videos to guide you through the material and instructors on standby... Read More for private one on one sessions to go over any questions on homework or other concepts. By the end of the program I felt like I had what was expected for an entry level position as well as the drive to continue to learn further. The instructors make it clear that the biggest skillset you can have is the drive to continue learning more as the industry is ever evolving. Throughout my learning I had access to ample learning materials and competent instructors which made the learning process engaging. I could have learned how to do many of these things on my own but I am glad I chose to go to Coding Temple instead, having a community of coders alongside me was a lot of fun and I even made a few friendships from the other students in my self paced cohort. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone on the fence.

I didn't want a program that was set up as a bunch of videos to watch with no real support. I could get that from YouTube. So when I was researching the different bootcamp options out there, I liked that Coding Temple offered an instructor. Most did for... Read More full-time/in-person courses but CT also offers instructor support in their Self-Paced program. The instructor was extremely helpful when I ran into issues or needed a bit more explanation on various things we were learning. The assignments were engaging, dare I say FUN and challenged you to truly apply what you were learning in the course. Once you finish the bootcamp, you then have a whole new support system in their Alumni team who help with resume building, application processes, and interview support - both technical and in general.

This 10 week bootcamp taught me a variety of topics. Multiple coding languages, data analysis, html + CSS, and more. Would recommend highly to anyone that wants to dive in to the world of software development & programming. Prepare to work hard though,... Read More averaged at least 50+ hours of work per week in the full time program. Instructors and classmates were super helpful.

I took the online full-time course, 10 weeks total. I'll start with the 2 cons because they're short but important to know. 1) The course is INTENSE. Yes, you can do it even if you're new to tech. But know that it will be a LOT of work, and you're going... Read More to have to be PROACTIVE. Ask questions, get clarification, go back and review the recorded lesson, take notes every time, etc. 2) You get out of it what you put into it. The pros are great. Let me start with specifying that my instructors were Terrell and Ryan, so my experience is based on their teaching style. The course is intense, yes, but these guys were with us every step of the way. Our class was about 10 people, everyone with different experience levels and learning styles. These instructors take time to answer questions, they even take pauses at times to MAKE SURE everyone's good. It's not just blah blah follow along take notes quietly, it's an interactive environment where you can share your screen to show what you've got going on and Terrell and Ryan will walk you through any questions or issues you're having so you can keep up. I could rave about the actual course forever, but there's more, so I'll stop here and say that the course itself is great because it teaches you how to LEARN tech. There is not enough time to become a pro at coding, but they give you the tools you need to keep up with the industry and then you go forward and continue your education and experience. The other part is the job search process. I just graduated the course and we are on our first week after graduation. We are all tired from working on our final projects but a good chunk of us are eager to network and find our job now. Coding Temple has a whole process for that too! They have a team of people dedicated to helping you prepare for interviews, both on the technical side and the networking side of the process. You have weekly workshops/meetings, you have a pro ex recruiter available to answer questions, and they have a whole process for you to follow when you're sitting there after graduation thinking to yourself, "okay what now??" They got you.

This program helped me go from zero coding ability/knowledge at the beginning of 2022 to having a solid grasp of the fundamentals needed to create functional web applications from scratch (frontend to backend), in addition to data base and data analysis... Read More competency. I was amazed at how much content we covered in just 10 weeks, and that we were able to do so thoroughly and holistically. If you are ready and willing to give yourself 100% to a bootcamp this course will deliver for you. Everything they teach and assign is doable so long as you bring your best effort and stay on top of assignments (a fast but reasonable pace). Highly recommended for anyone wanting to get into tech but not knowing where to start!

I was a bit skeptical before joining a coding bootcamp, However Coding Temple's fast paced 10 week program really gave me all of the information I needed to be successful in any front-end or back-end development job! My instructors were extremely patient... Read More and helpful along the way ensuring the information was understood. I had very little to no prior background knowledge in coding, but I was able to graduate the course and start my job search along side my career coach.

I had never done any coding before I enrolled in the Coding Temple bootcamp. Within 3 months of graduation, I landed a software job! I highly recommend Coding Temple to anyone looking to make a career change, learn more about coding, or to advance a current... Read More career. It was a great experience all around, from the initial contacts with the staff, to the instructors and classmates, to the career support.

I had a great experience at Coding Temple! My instructor was Nate Welter and he did an amazing job at adjusting the pace of the course so that everybody had a working understanding of the material. There really was no question he couldn't answer on the... Read More spot, and if by chance something did come up, he was very resourceful and had an answer nearly immediately (which is probably the greatest asset there is for a programmer). Our TA was also very helpful and would stay late after class on an individual basis if anyone felt they were falling behind (spoiler- they wouldn't be falling behind for long). I can't personally attest to the abilities of the other instructors, but I know they're a tight knit group, and I've heard nothing but good things from students of their classes. Algo Night is offered every week to brush up on skills, and the support system for post-graduates is relentless, you will never feel left behind. If you're looking for a bootcamp to get yourself a full-time engineering job or just want a better understanding of computer systems for your current placement, look no further.

After spending 3.5+ years in financial client service, I was ready to try a something new. Thanks to Coding Temple for providing the perfect opportunity to learn to code and completely rebrand myself. Coding Temple provides boot camp students with fantastic... Read More and friendly personal connections. My instructor Terrell McKinney did a great job going through a comprehensive curriculum with us and my TAs Ryan Rhoades and John Loveland were a blast to work with. There are also evening and weekend TAs to make sure you are always able to get help when you need it. We cover lots of technologies, but just to name a few, GitHub, Python, SQL, RESTful APIs, Flask, TypeScript React, JavaScript, Numerical Python, Python Pandas, etc. After the completion of the ten week program, students who complete the course with sufficient proficiency (plenty of support to achieve this if you simply commit to it!) are presented with a truly impressive array of job-seeking tools, including professional mock interviews through Skilled Inc and a comprehensive job board with Huntr. Plenty of guest speakers from all over the industry are invited in and they are truly inspiring and helpful for the beginning of a software engineer's journey. I finished in mid-December 2020 and now I am neck deep in the job search. With these tools at my disposal I feel confident that I will be able to embark upon a fulfilling career in software engineering. Before signing up, please note that the program requires a lot of commitment. In my case, I was not working at all, not even part time, during the boot camp. That part can potentially be tricky. My honest advice is that if you need to work at least part time, do not enroll for the full time course. Just do a part time course. Students with unshakeable commitments outside of the boot camp seemed to really struggle for it. Those with the most commitment made the most progress and seem to be the most likely to succeed in coding in general.

I went into the program knowing that I wanted to perform data analysis, with some experience performing statistical analysis in an academic setting, but completely uninitiated in computer programming. I had never done any programming/web development,... Read More I appreciated the introduction to a broad catalogue of technologies. If you're familiar with programming languages you might want more depth, but for a newbie it was a perfect introduction and I'm now confident in my ability to go deeper on my own time. Pros: I was introduced to a broad swath of technologies. This not only helped me narrow down my interests (data engineering), but it also made me feel more comfortable talking about programming in social and professional settings. I also appreciate the broad introduction because I developed skills I would have otherwise overlooked. Instructors were knowledgeable and approachable. I was surprised that I made great connections with my peers/classmates. Cons: Hard to call it a con, but if you are unprepared for the pace it can be detrimental: the program moves very quickly, it's very easy to fall behind and feel overwhelmed if you don't check in with yourself and others OFTEN.
