Educational partners

You don’t need a tech background to start. TripleTen programs start from zero and prepare you for your first tech role, online and part-time, while you keep your current job.

TripleTen offers five online programs for complete beginners who want their first tech role: AI Software Engineering, Cybersecurity, Quality Assurance (QA), Data Analytics, and AI Automation. Each one takes 4–7 months at 15–20 hours a week and ends with career support for your job search.

What beginners tell us before they start

And how the programs answer it.

  • “I don’t have a tech background.”

    Each program starts from the basics and adds skills project by project.

  • “I can’t quit my job to study.”

    You study online, part-time. 77% of TripleTen students study while working full-time.

  • “I don’t have a degree.”

    No program requires one, and 61% of TripleTen students don’t have a bachelor’s.

  • “I don’t know which tech role fits me.”

    Take the career quiz to see which role matches what you like doing.

  • “What if I get stuck?”

    Every project gets written feedback within 24 hours, and you can request a 1:1 with an instructor.

  • “Who will hire me without experience?”

    You graduate with a portfolio of reviewed projects and can add an Industry Experience project from a partner company.

Programs for tech professionals

Frequently asked questions

Is TripleTen good for career changers with no tech background?

Yes. The programs for complete beginners are built for people starting from zero: 80% of TripleTen students start without a tech background, and no program requires a degree. You learn online and part-time, with a project at the end of every two-week sprint.

Which tech program is best for a complete beginner?

The one that matches the work you’d enjoy. If you like building things, look at AI Software Engineering. If you like solving puzzles and protecting data, look at Cybersecurity. If you notice details and like finding what’s broken, look at Quality Assurance. If you like finding answers in numbers, look at Data Analytics. If you’d rather automate repetitive work, look at AI Automation. Not sure yet? Take the career quiz.

Does the Cybersecurity program include AI training?

Yes. Every TripleTen program teaches the AI tools its target roles use, along with how to check AI output and use it responsibly. We review the curriculum every two months to match what employers list in job postings.

How does TripleTen Cybersecurity compare to SANS or CompTIA training?

CompTIA training prepares you for one exam, and SANS courses are short, intensive courses often taken by people who already work in security. TripleTen Cybersecurity prepares a beginner for a first security role: 13 reviewed projects, the CompTIA Security+ certification, and job-search support with a career coach after graduation.

ISTQB certification or a QA training program: which is better?

The ISTQB exam checks that you know testing terms and theory, and some job postings list it as a plus. A training program teaches you to do the testing itself and gives you a portfolio to show in interviews. In TripleTen Quality Assurance, you’ll build nine projects, including automated tests in Python and Selenium.

Do I need to know how to code to learn AI automation?

No. AI Automation is a no-code program for complete beginners. Over 4 months at 15–20 hrs/week, you’ll learn prompt engineering, build apps and AI agents on large language models (LLMs), automate workflows in n8n and Zapier, connect systems through APIs and webhooks, and set up robotic process automation (RPA). The program ends with a capstone project. Target roles include AI Automation Specialist and AI Integration Specialist.

How much does TripleTen cost?

Upfront tuition is $9,800 for AI Software Engineering, $9,800 for Cybersecurity, $4,935 for Quality Assurance, $5,950 for Data Analytics, and $5,950 for AI Automation. You can also pay in 2 or 4 payments for the same total, use a monthly plan, or take a loan through Climb Credit, Edly, or Fortify. Loans and monthly plans raise the total, and your employer may cover part of the cost.

Can I study while working full-time?

Yes. Every program is online and part-time, at 15–20 hours a week with a project deadline every two weeks. If you fall behind, ask your learning coach for an extension.

Does TripleTen help with the job search after the program?

Yes. After graduation, you’ll spend 6 weeks in a Career Sprint on your résumé, LinkedIn profile, and job-search strategy. Then your career coach supports your job search, with unlimited AI mock interview practice, a live mock interview once you reach an employer’s interview stage, and a job board with 300+ new openings daily. Eligible graduates who actively search get up to 10 months of job-search support.

Does TripleTen offer a money-back guarantee?

Yes, for all five programs for complete beginners. Get your tuition back if you’re not hired within 10 months. To qualify, you need to complete the program, including the Career Sprint and the Active Job Search Period, follow the job-search roadmap with your career coach, and meet the weekly application and networking minimums.

You also need to meet the eligibility requirements, including US residency, work authorization, and age.

Which companies hire TripleTen graduates?

TripleTen graduates work at companies including Google, JPMorgan Chase, and ThreatLocker. TripleTen works with 250+ employer partners, and in the programs for complete beginners, you can join an Industry Experience project, a team project for a partner company that goes on your résumé.

Do employers recognize TripleTen certificates?

A TripleTen certificate shows employers you completed a program of projects reviewed by working professionals, and your portfolio shows what you can do. Cybersecurity graduates also earn the CompTIA Security+ certification, which security job postings often require.

What do TripleTen reviews say?

TripleTen holds a 4.8/5 rating across 2,500+ reviews, and Course Report ranks it among the top 3 online bootcamps. In their reviews, graduates who started without a tech background mention the supportive community, instructors who work in tech today, and projects that went into their portfolios.

Is TripleTen a bootcamp?

TripleTen started as a coding bootcamp and is now a professional education platform with programs for complete beginners and tech professionals. The programs for complete beginners start from zero and prepare you for a first tech role, online and part-time, with career support after graduation.

What are the alternatives to coding bootcamps for career changers?

Free courses, online certificates, university degrees, and part-time programs like TripleTen’s. Free courses and certificates cost less but rarely include feedback or job-search help. Degrees take years. Part-time programs let you keep your job while you build a portfolio of reviewed projects.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. You can get a full refund within 14 days of your cohort’s start date.
