Coding Temple

My experience at Coding Temple was sublime. The quality, dedication, and commitment to student success that is central to the culture at Coding Temple is pervasive throughout every individual associated with the organization. It is immediately apparent that the growth of students, both personally and professionally, is the impetus behind every action of the Coding Temple staff.

Curriculum is fast-paced, but also uniquely tailored to individual student interests and career aspirations. Instructors are attentive, responsive, and constantly available to provide guidance through difficult course material. Yes, coding boot camp can be tough, requiring long hours both in and out of the classroom. However, the resultant development of immediately marketable and employable skills is directly...

Fair warning: this is not your typical review. Plenty of other reviewers have done the heavy lifting already. Definitely check them out. This is mostly for your reading pleasure -- but if it helps you off the fence either way, then my job is done. Take it as you will, but know that it comes from the heart.

Let's assume you're a little bit lost in the weeds right now, restless and dizzy with thoughts in your head. You stumble around for a while, unawares. You try listening to the Search Engine, but each new query leaves you more and more disoriented. Eventually, you come upon this review. You inspect the text up close and are suddenly startled when it whispers back, "Coding Temple." You turn away with some difficulty, feeling the whispe...

I took the .NET/C# 10 week course at Coding Temple and it was worth every penny! I had zero experience in coding before deciding to step into this industry. I was fresh out of college with a degree that I was not sure I wanted to make a career out of so after lots of research I came across Software Development. I was referred to Coding Temple by a friend and it seemed like the best option compared to any other bootcamps relative to price, class size, and their raving reviews.

Attending this bootcamp will take a lot of dedication and you need to be ready to work! For me, it required quitting my job and putting my 100% into the course even before it started. It is so important to do the pre-work assigned prior to class and to fully understand it as well. It will go such a long way thro...

This is not a place for excuses. This is not a place for cruise control. This is a place where people take control of their lives.

If that sounds silly to you, then Coding Temple is not the place for you. It requires commitment, humility, and tremendous effort. The course is as easy or as difficulty as you make it, but only those who choose the difficult route will succeed.

You're offered a great curriculum that covers the bleeding edge of in-demand programming, but nothing is required for you to learn. You've got talented educators who will answer your questions and will push you toward empowerment, but they're only as valuable as you make them. You're given post-course direction on job searches, but it's only valuable if you take it.

Without embellishment, this course change...

I recently attended Coding Temple and took part in the .NET cohort. I can honestly say this was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I knew very little coding going into the bootcamp and learned even more than I had anticipated. The .NET cohort covers a great range of technical skills necessary for success as a Software Developer. I now have a job working with SQL, C#, and other skills I learned while I was a student. The class size was one of the deciding factors for me in choosing Coding Temple. The small class size helped with problem solving and if one of us was struggling, anyone was willing to help them. While I greatly enjoyed my time at Coding Temple, it was not without its challenges. It required dedication outside of class hours and active participation while I was in...

A friend of mine told me about his experience at Coding Temple, which caught my attention. I attended the open house at Coding Temple, where the staff set down and explained the program in detail to me. Along with letting me sit in a live class session. After spending 10-weeks in the .NET program, I can not say anything but great things about Coding Temple and the instructor Joe! One thing I would suggest to all students taking the course, do the pre-work they assign. It is critical to have that completed. The students that did not put in all of the time in the pre-work struggled in my class.

I started the coding temple this past summer in the Python/Data Science full 10 week course. Prior to this I had no coding experience whatsoever, knew very little about anything to do with software development, and really could not tell you the difference between a mac and a windows. I started the class with Derek Hawkins as our instructor and he made it very easy to navigate through the course and learn the basics without getting overwhelmed. From then we delved into various harder concepts as we almost covered a language a week. This is where it is up to the student to decide how much he or she wants to get from the class as I truly believe if you put in the work you will be rewarded. If you try to take shortcuts and not complete the material and work on the projects on your own time ...

The story with programming is simple: you get out what you put in (much like anything else, but it's important to keep this in mind).

The instructors make sure to provide you with all of the resources you need to succeed. But that doesn't mean all of your questions will be answered. You'll need to struggle with the material, both inside and outside of class. As long as you put your best foot forward, you will be on the path to success. The material is thrown at you very fast, but that's to be expected. You are covering tons of material in a short time span. The instructors are there to answer any tough questions and offer extended help when needed. I would recommend this course for those serious about taking the next step in developing their skill set in software development.

I knew that in order to advance my career I needed to add data science to my skillset to make myself more marketable and valuable . After spending 10 weeks at Coding Temple, I could not be more than happy with my decision. Although temporarily leaving my job to advance my career was difficult, it was well worth it. About 5 weeks after graduation I was able to get a new higher paying job that essentially would pay my investment in Coding Temple in 6 months.

Ripal was extremely helpful in getting my foot in the door with a few different companies that looked suitable for me. Just having that piece of mind that someone is working to do everything they can to help you land your next job is worth it.

This curriculum moves very fast and at times it's very frustrating when you are stu...

I took a one day course at the coding temple over tableau. I had little to no experience with tableau, making me question if I would be able to keep up in the class. This was not the case. The instructor was very good at explaining any questions and would make sure the class was on the same page before moving on. The instructor would also go into detail on how you could apply these concepts in the workforce such as finding financial data. The class had a very interactive feel due to its size, almost like a one on one training session. Overall, I was very pleased with my experience at the coding temple. I was amazed at how comfortable I was with tableau after just a one day course. I would absolutely recommend their courses to anyone looking for a hands-on learning experience with a very...

I came into the .NET program with some freelancing experience in another language and a lot of self-education, and there were still times where I felt overwhelmed. It is a lot to take in and apply, but if you put in work, you'll get the results as I did a month after graduating.

Pros - Small class size means a good learning environment. An instructor that has many years of industry experience instead of TAs that are recent grads like at other bootcamps.
Cons - It would've been nice to have more time for projects instead of working on what to me was review of basic web development concepts.

I was always interested in learning how to code and being a developer, but thought I had missed the boat because I didn't study it in school. Then I found Coding Temple and was so excited to have the opportunity to learn how to be a software developer in just 10 weeks! It was scary quitting my job, but the bootcamp was more than worth it. I learned so much in the bootcamp and am thankful for the experience.

One thing I liked about Coding Temple more than other bootcamps is that it focuses on small class sizes. This was crucial for me because I didn't have much coding experience and I was worried about being left behind. My instructor Derek was a great teacher, answered all my questions, and made sure I really understood what we were doing. We worked on a lot of projects using the to...

I came into Coding Temple with virtually no coding experience. By the end of the 11 week program I found myself thoroughly understanding the way many languages work, and I had the knowledge to enter interviews with confidence. The portfolio you build is sure to impress many prospective employers. I was able to land a job in downtown Chicago a little over a month after completing the program.

Keep in mind, this place doesn't work miracles. You should be curious and dedicated - put in your share of effort and you'll be just fine. The small class size provides an excellent opportunity to ask questions and learn as much as possible. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable.

Honestly I'm not sure where to begin, as I have so many great things to say about Coding Temple. Not only did they create a fun filled environment full of coding, they went above and beyond throughout the entire process.

I was originally looking into taking the Python course in Boston, and ended up switching to take an earlier class in D.C., which they graciously helped me out in finding a place and getting setup in the area. I couldn't be happier with the way things panned out, as the location was great and the class went extremely well.

The instructors here were knowledgeable and made coding an enjoyable experience. It's always tough when people are coming in at different coding levels, but it was both tough on the experienced students and easy to pickup for the students that ha...

I completed the .NET program at the Coding Temple in Chicago and was very pleased with my experience. It is a very demanding and quick moving program but well worth the investment. The technologies and languages I learned during this program made finding a job easier because they up to date with what is currently being used. The projects that we worked on, both individually and as a group, made an excellent portfolio, and our final project served to give me excellent experience working on a fullstack project. On top of the knowledge gained they also prepared me to find a job after the program. Through mock interviews, resume building, and bringing in recruiters and representatives from tech companies I felt that they really cared about helping all of us find employment after the program...

When I was first considering coding boot camps, I was very hesitant to make the investment. The Coding Temple reviews seemed too good to be true. After further investigation, I found out that some people I know through mutual friends have gone through the program and are very successful. I went in to meet the instructors and my mind was instantly at ease. Going through this program was the best career decision I have ever made. Not only did I gain a solid understanding of development, I learned how to debug and run through issues within programs. I tried the self-learning classes online and I now realize that the education I gained at the Coding Temple would have never been achieved if I continued to try and learn solo. It’s a very scary and intimidating process but in the end, I am ext...

I have to say that this is the hardest thing I have ever done. I also have to say it is the MOST worthwhile thing I have ever done as well! 10 weeks; 10 languages/technologies... SUPER FAST PACED! It was a lot of information to take in and make sense of in such a short period of time, but if you can do it, you will learn so much! There were points in time in the class where I thought I would have a nervous breakdown because I thought I couldn't do it and had dished out a big chunk of change to take the class.... IT IS HARD! If you go here, and you feel the same way, PUSH THROUGH IT! You can do it! And it is worth it! The instructor is there to help. My instructor, Joe, was the most well informed programmer that I have ever met, and was super helpful at getting one to understand the mate...

I attended a Coding Temple Winter course back in 2016. I had graduated with a finance degree, but shortly after my job search I had realized that many of the jobs that I had an interest for required some sort of technical background. I attended the Coding Temple .NET course.

Small classroom setting
1-1 interaction with the instructor (TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS)
A lot of job preparation
I am currently using my finance background and my new technical skills at a career in Bank of America.

I found this to be the most effective way to learn how to code! The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and take on any question you have. They helped me prepare for technical and behavioral interviews, refined my resume, and set me up with recruiters and interviews to find a new career!

I came out of UIC with and engineering degree. I always had an interest pursuing a career in the IT industry starting with my first semester of my junior year. I began to take more computer science classes at my university. I applied to many full stack positions and did not have much luck exept for a few out of state which was not exactly what I wanted.

I then made the best decision of my life. I enrolled in the 10 week python course at coding temple. I learned more about coding at Coding Temple than at my university from my junior to senior year of college. I was shocked that I was learning so much in so little time. The team at coding temple was extremely helpful, they will always help you no matter the issue. If you need extra help they are willing to work out a time and they will...
