"Could have done better alone"
Not a great experience two teachers no real homework. No syllabus, seems like they are completely winging it. Over promise and under deliver and tell everyone what they want to hear to get them in the door. Read the ripoff report for pretty much the same... Read More

"Took the Leap and Landed on the other side with room to spare!"
I took part in the recent spring part-time cohort of Tech Talent Souths code immersion program. I think "code immersion" is a bit deceiving as coding is not the only thing you get to be a part of when you join the program. The program offered me, a recently... Read More
I fully recommend this 8 week program to anyone and everyone with interest in coding to not only open mental doors but technology doors in your city!

"Fast-paced family learning environment."
After being dealt with a pink-slip in march I decided to take a leap into school again. I had a coworker that had turned me onto this program and I always heard such good things about the course and the general environment that was created. I enrolled... Read More

"Great Program!"
I went through the 2015 Spring Cohort in Raleigh and I loved it. I had the chance to meet some great people with interesting stories. Our community organizer worked tirelessly to connect students to local developers in the community. She also helped create... Read More
Like anything else in life, you'll get what you put in. Coding is just as hard as picking up any new skill. It'll take time, and lots of effort. You can't expect to come to class for three hours and learn everything that was covered, you have to work hard outside of class. TTS gives you the resources to make this process as smooth as possible. It's up to you to take advantage of them.

"Tech Talent South provides all the resources you need to learn to code in 8 weeks."
Before I started the Learn to Code course in Charlotte, I wondered if I'd really be coding in only 8 weeks. But after completing Tech Talent South's full-immersion Learn to Code course, I can tell you for sure that it's for real.
I think of it as an equation:... Read More
The first half of the equation was up to me. Just like anything else, learning how to do something new takes hard work. You must do the homework, come to class, play an active role, ask questions…that sort of stuff.
The second half of the equation was all Tech Talent South. They provided all the support, resources and tools needed to learn to code in 8 weeks. They provided an engaging classroom setting (you learn by doing…no lectures here), skilled and knowledgeable instructors (they have a genuine interest in your success), and extracurricular networking and education events with companies and leaders in your community (so you can get a job when you finish).
I can't enough good things about my experience with Tech Talent South and learning to code. I highly recommend them.

"I am tech-literate, thanks to TTS!"
This time last year, I didn't know the difference between HTML and JPEG (true story)!
I joined the part-time program in Charlotte last spring to learn the basics. I am a full-time corporate strategist and a part-time entrepreneur.
I learned so much in... Read More
I even convinced my high school PTA to create an app for parents!
I am not yet a "developer" but I know enough to guide and troubleshoot. All due to the great staff and learning environment at the TTS part-time program.

"Tech Talent South was wonderful!"
As a stay at home with an app that I designed, but didn't develop, I wanted to understand "how things worked" from the back end. The part time class was wonderful, and just what I needed to better understand the technology behind my small business. The... Read More

"A great investment in my future..."
I took the part-time class this past fall and looked forward to every class meeting. I'm working toward switching careers (from education) to development in the next few months, and I had a good bit of front-end experience going in. Rails is a lot different... Read More

"GAH - Tech Talent South - How great!"
I completed the Part-Time Code Immersion program this December and couldn't be more pleased. Having only dabbled in basic HTML years and years ago as a middle schooler, I was a bit nervous entering the program. However, I needed to add to my skill set... Read More

"THE WAY to break into Charlotte's tech scene"
I'll tell you right away that I'm incredibly pleased with my experience at Tech Talent South. The founders and organizers have done a fabulous job of creating relevant material for us to learn by and have gone out of their way to provide different avenues... Read More
The wonderful and fortunate thing (for you) about Charlotte right now is that it's in this sort of "spring time" of tech growth. If you start attending meetups you'll see the same faces again and again. Obviously this means those people are seeing YOUR face again and again. Charlotte's tech community is hitting a sweet spot for new job seekers because it's dynamic enough to find interesting opportunities, but it's not so huge either, so you won't face lots of competition and you won't get lost in the crowd.
You will absolutely learn a lot in the class, get the fundamentals of web development nailed down, and end up with a solid portfolio if you see your projects through. But, the real value of Tech Talent South in my opinion is the NETWORKING. You have to put in as much effort outside the class as you do inside; stay to listen to the speakers, go on the tours, find out about meetups, and get yourself to those other events. Make the effort to actually begin conversations, and talk about what you're doing, because any of those people may end up being your way into the job you're looking for.
So, I highly recommend applying to TTS, but just keep in mind you only get out of it what you put in. Put in your all.
