TripleTen

After getting furloughed, at my current job, I decided to learn some new skills, now that I'd have more free time. I chose the Data Science path, with TripleTen, because I just finished up a 35-week DS track at another online bootcamp, but I could not... Read More find a job after graduating from that other bootcamp. TripleTen guarantees job placement. That was what made me investigate further.

I took the quiz, on the TripleTen site, and it suggested that my path should be Data Science. Since that is what I was interested in, I found it interesting that the quiz confirmed that. I put in my phone number, and when someone called me, I was surprised that the person was so professional. There was no high pressure sales at all. I just told him my story, of how I'd been wanting to be a programmer for so many years, and could not find the path, while also trying to work fulltime. After he was so patient, listening to my story, he suggested that I could sign up for a 2 week trial period, for $100. I said yes. I got my login, and I started studying immediately. I studied all night, then woke up the next day and studied all day again. Since I had a previous bootcamp to compare this to, I had a good sense of whether or not this was going to be too easy for me, or a good challenge.

When deciding whether or not to sign up, I put together a list of pros and cons, and the only con on the list was whether or not I could afford the tuition. But, since TripleTen guarantees you'll get a job, in the field that you studied, I figured that with my first few paychecks, I'd get my money back fast.

I was surprised that already, on day one, I was learning new things that I didn't learn in the other bootcamp. I called back the sales rep (I can't remember his actual title), the next day, and said that I decided that I wanted to do the full course. I didn't need 13 more days to decide. So, I ended up starting with my "cohort" 3 days later. I paid my tuition. And, I was pretty impressed, without even asking for it, TripleTen refunded me my original $100 fee for the trial.

TripleTen assigns you a Success Manager, who is great at making sure that you stay on track, and motivating you when you have a bad day, or making phone calls, to get you a free private one-on-one tutoring slot, if the need arises. There are bi-weekly video calls with my Success Manager. TripleTen also assigns you a Career Counselor when you get very close to the end of the track. This person looks at your resume, suggests fixes, and hopefully is able to help get your an "externship", so that you have real life programming experience, on your resume, before graduating from the program. I think it's this boost that is the reason their students are so successful at getting jobs in the field. The percentage of graduates who get a job in the field is astronomically high; 87%. Keep in mind, that most of the students have never had jobs in the tech industry before coming to TripleTen, so that's really pretty impressive that they have such good outcomes, taking absolute beginners, and then producing programmers in 8 months.

They have a lot more to offer than the first DS bootcamp that I went to. For example: TripleTen has mock interviews, near the end of the track, with actual programmers who know how to ask technical questions, they have real people reviewing your big projects, and giving lots of comments throughout the project, on how to make your code and logic better. There are always a few tutors available, at almost any hour, to answer specific questions on how to fix a line, or section, of code, and this help comes in the form of posting a question in Discord chat, or going to a Zoom, or Discord, video chat, or just voice chat for those days when you didn't brush your hair or put on makeup. For the rare times that a tutor is not available, there's a robot in the chat that does a pretty good job answering coding questions. The robot is not as good as the tutors. The tutors monitor the Discord chat channels, constantly, to make sure that students got their questions answered. The wait time, to get a tutor is usually less than 5 minutes. I'm pretty impressed with how much help there is, and how fast they are to respond, and how well they always can answer the questions so patiently. With the voice or video chat calls, there might be other students there, too, usually one or two, so they can learn new stuff when they hear your questions, and how it was solved, and vice versa. The students and tutors are all so helpful, positive, and everyone is happy to help answer questions.

Although I started with a "cohort", I don't actually know them. There's a chat channel for "casual" chat, but I don't really go there. I just code. If you're interested in chatting with other students, that's totally an option, plus people can post their LinkdIn links there, so there is the possibility of networking, too. I myself have not done that yet. I'm 2 months in to an 8 month track.

It's a go at your own pace school. Some people have full time jobs. Some do not. I'm lucky, in that I can code all day long. I'm on Sprint 5, and I think that there are 17 Sprints, plus some extras that are not mandatory.

I originally intended to be a computer programmer, way back in 1992. I went to night school for Computer Programming. Graduated in 1994.. But never found a job as a programmer. That was back when there were almost no women programmers, so I never did get a company to take a chance on me, as a programmer. I went in to Software QA instead. Times have changed. There are so many women programmers now. I chose TripleTen, because they guarantee a job in your field. I'm so excited to know that this time I'm actually going to get a job as a programmer (Data Scientist). It's very exciting because I've wanted this for so many years.

I was told that most graduates get remote programming jobs, which is exactly what I'm hoping for. I'm hoping that I can incorporate traveling while coding, while getting paid to travel and code.

I've already decided, that maybe next year, I'm gonna take their new Cyber Security program, and boost my resume further.

Do something for you. Fill out that quiz. See where it takes you. :)

I am currently enrolled in the QA Engineering Course at TripleTen, and overall, I have had a positive experience. I decided to make the leap and study with TripleTen because I was frustrated with a job search in my area. I live in a place where there... Read More isn't much work and very few well-paying jobs. I wanted to think outside the box and study something that would allow me to work from home and earn a higher income. I am practical and I didn't want to invest so much money into a BootCamp so I chose the QA Engineering curriculum. It was also the most affordable option. I discovered TripleTen when through some ads on Youtube. At the time it was called "Practicum". I am not working at the moment so I am completely dedicated to studying. One of the standout features of this BootCamp is the flexibility it offers, allowing students to progress at their own pace, which is a significant advantage for those balancing other commitments.

Pros:

Self-Paced Learning: The course structure accommodates various learning speeds, making it easier to absorb the material thoroughly.
Accountability through Success Managers: The presence of dedicated success managers is a great support system. They help keep you accountable for your projects and deadlines while ensuring the learning experience remains manageable and not overly stressful.
Rich Educational Content: The curriculum is comprehensive and provides hands-on experience in QA engineering, which is crucial for practical knowledge.
The almost mandatory externship experience is the selling point. Upon graduation, you are enrolled in an externship that gives you more hands-on experience so that you are ready for the job.

Cons:

Negative Atmosphere in Discord Channel: One downside is the somewhat toxic environment in the Discord channel, where some participants frequently express their frustrations about job hunting. This negativity can be discouraging for those trying to maintain a positive mindset.
Limited Networking Support: While the course provides excellent educational resources, additional networking opportunities with industry professionals could enhance the overall experience and job placement success.
In summary, the QA Engineering Course at TripleTen is a great option for those looking for flexible, supportive learning, but it could benefit from addressing the negativity present in the community.

I decided to start learning about software engineering earlier this year as it was something I have always been interested in. Going to college for mechanical engineering made me more curious about SE related duties during classes that involved coding.... Read More I chose TripleTen because it looked like they had good backing from their students, with the added bonus of job help after completion if necessary. Most of my studying was done in the hours after work. There wasn't really a schedule since some days I would take a break and other I'd be coding from 5pm to midnight. I participated in the June 2024 Code Jam and enjoyed learning how to be effective in a group instead of just solo coding. What I liked most about TripleTen was the ability to work at my own pace. I also like that I was able to take some time off when I needed to focus more on my personal life for a bit. Overall, I enjoyed my experience learning software engineering with TripleTen and would consider taking one of their other courses, like cyber security, if it helps with whatever job I land after graduation.

I joined the triple ten bootcamp because I was in need of starting a new career path. I chose triple ten for my coding journey because I’ve seen a few ads about the camp, and they said it was a pretty successful camp. Also, when I was speaking to a financial... Read More advisor about the camp, they told me you get your money back guarantee if you don’t find a job within the first six months so it was a no brainer to me. The Boot Camp is broken down into sprints; for the QA engineer Boot Camp there are 9 total sprints. I’m currently in 7, and at the end of each sprint there is a project that must be completed. Some projects are pretty difficult, but most are manageable. If you use the tutor hours in a tutor, you’re able to get through all of them not too much hassle. Triple ten has helped me in my coding journey with teaching me new concepts and terminology of how coding and concepts works. If I were to give any tips on someone who’s just starting, I would say take your time with each sprint and make sure you’re absorbing all the material in each chapter because going back is fine for the project, but it’ll save you way more time if you understand the concepts better.

I decided to dive into Data Analysis to enhance my skills as a realtor and property manager, making better data-driven decisions. Choosing TripleTen for my coding journey was a no-brainer after researching several bootcamps. The clear course directives... Read More and excellent support system really stood out.

I usually spend about 10-15 hours a week studying, balancing it with my real estate work. The flexibility of the platform allows me to learn at my own pace. The interactive platform and hands-on projects are fantastic. They make complex concepts easier to grasp and provide real-world experience. The community and learning team are incredibly supportive, always ready to help with any challenges.

TripleTen's Success Managers are the real MVPs. Their guidance has been invaluable, making sure I stay on track and motivated. The workshops are also a great way to dive deeper into specific topics and connect with other learners.

TripleTen has significantly boosted my confidence in data analysis. I now feel well-equipped to analyze market trends and make more informed decisions in my real estate business. My goal of becoming proficient in data analysis is well within reach, thanks to TripleTen.

For anyone just starting their coding journey, my advice is to stay consistent and take advantage of the community and support resources. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and engage with the Success Managers. They’re there to help you succeed. TripleTen makes learning an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Highly recommend!

I realized after working for a few years in well-paying, but rather plain teaching job, that I needed the challenge and pace that only a career in tech could give me, so I looked into Development. The program was very self paced with constant new information... Read More that forced you to keep up and work hard. I choose Triple Ten because it is giving enough long duration to complete course work which is needed for me as am new in tech world. Plus there is lot of support and guidance from the tutors if we stuck in between projects or have any doubts we can reach them at any time on the platform Discord. The instructors are very knowledgeable and very helpful.For me, the most challenging part was adapting some of the unique libraries and technologies that were presented throughout the course. The core concept is there, but this was the first “bump” I came across. An example here would be various JavaScript libraries; you have a fundamental understanding of JavaScript, but understanding/adapting a unique JS library while initially only abstracting parts of it is something that takes time. The important lesson I learned here is that this is a common challenge for even seasoned developers, as the industry is variable and constantly changing with new/different/better ways to do things, so it’s important to be cognizant of the fact that it may take you time to learn something. It reinforced my opinion that you are never too old to learn something new! It was pretty amazing going from not knowing how to code to building a real working project. Then there is career support which is great benefit and our ultimate goal to land a desired job. This program gave me knowledge of Technologies which were new for me and confidence to kickstart my career in tech industry. So if you are passionate about technologies and interested in putting efforts then this would be a good fit for you.

I took the TripleTen coding to learn what it meant to be BI Analysis and to shift my career path. I had never taken any coding and online training. TripleTen offer flexible learning schedule. TripleTen providing real-world simulations. Real-world projects... Read More enrich learning and build portfolios. The course offers learning experience in sprints which is very helpful to become more proficient in delivering projects on time and achieving success in your endeavour . The information is easy to understand and can be immediately applied to tasks and projects.The course gives you a good base and the tools as you need. The Team is friendly , supportive as well as knowledgeable . They have a lot of practical experience in what they teach. You actually get to interact with them, and they are ready to help and always available to answer your questions.The career services provided by TripleTen, such as resume reviews and interview preparation, have been invaluable in preparing me for the job market
Definitely recommend TripleTen to anyone interested getting into tech.

From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The course material is presented in a way that is incredibly easy to understand, allowing for deep comprehension of even the most complex topics. What truly impressed me, however,... Read More were the practical projects. Despite their initial appearance of difficulty, they were perfectly aligned with the course content, making them surprisingly manageable. This seamless blend of theory and hands-on experience not only enhanced my learning but also left me feeling confident in my newfound skills. I wholeheartedly give this course a 5-star rating and enthusiastically recommend it to anyone looking to dive into the world of business intelligence.

For a few years I toyed with the idea of breaking into tech, but I let those imposter syndrome thoughts tell me that “it’s too hard, you can’t do it!”. I put my dream off for a while because I didn’t feel competent or confident to make the change. And... Read More then I found TripleTen. I had been considering a similarly structured online program but TripleTen’s full-stack looked way better with a better price tag. I also liked how the program was structured into sprints. I can struggle to self-start and keep an independent pace, so the hard deadlines hold me accountable. You are able to take breaks in the program as needed (they are even encouraged!). Once I had decided that TripleTen was the program that I wanted to move forward with I spoke with an advisor who further helped me to “quiet” the thoughts that told me that I couldn’t do it – and I went for it! I am so happy that I did. The journey has been challenging but seeing your projects come together is SO rewarding. The theory can be overwhelming at first. However, it is divided into text, visuals, videos, links to outside resources, and the interactive coding platform so it is easy to stay engaged. The platform is also visually appealing and easy to navigate. I highly recommend giving yourself enough time to complete the theory especially if you do not have any coding experience. And take notes! The best part of the program is the Discord server where you can interact with the Tutors, Success Managers, and other students. The Tutors do a great job of giving hints and explanations using videos, visuals, and detailed written feedback to guide you towards the solution rather than telling you the answer outright. They help you to critically think and encourage you to do your own research because that is going to help you be successful in the workforce. I have never had to wait more than two hours for a tutor to answer a question. There are also multiple office hours most days of the week, so there are frequent opportunities for support outside of Discord. If additional support is needed, you can ask for a 1:1 tutoring session. The Success Managers check-in with you frequently, encourage you to keep up the hard work, and help you keep a steady pace. The whole community is really supportive and friendly. I haven’t fully immersed myself in the career prep coursework but the resources are abundant! If you are considering TripleTen as your coding bootcamp, I am here to tell you that the program is a 10/10 DO recommend!

I quit law school because I missed variety, connection, and problem solving. I knew that I could either become an average lawyer or go for something else that I had more of a passion for. That’s when I re-engaged with my passion for data science. At first... Read More I tried to do it all myself, watching videos online and practicing on datacamp. However, when it got to creating projects I lacked direction. This was when I decided to interview with bootcamps. It was close, but TripleTen won me over. From the start they showed transparency to share all they had to offer when others were reluctant. They were quick to respond to my questions and were never condescending. They got me excited to jump back into my career after the woes of quitting law school. This has been a solid foundation and an accurate representation of how the bootcamp is. Check out their website - the quirkiness bleeds into the course making the content way more enjoyable. If I have a question or concern it is addressed quickly. The course is set up to remind us that it is perfectly normal not to not understand a concept right away. This helps me no longer spend hours on message boards, rather get help from an encouraging source within minutes. However, the biggest selling point has been the career focus. TripleTen was the only one to offer real world experience with externships in their data science program when I applied. I haven’t quite got to this point, but should start it next month. In terms of downsides, I would emphasise that this course isn’t easy. You must remember that we are competing with people who have many years of experience in these fields. Also don’t be too hard on yourself if you can’t figure it all out at first and be sure to reach out to help when you need it. That’s what you are paying for.
