When I started at Triple Ten I had not written not one line of code in my life at that point. Now that I have graduated my knowledge and understanding of code has grown exponentially. I can’t recommend Triple Ten enough for anyone who has never given coding a chance.
As I close this chapter on my journey at TripleTen, I can't help but feel a warm sense of achievement. When I first stepped into TripleTen, there were a few things I was hunting for in a coding bootcamp.
Flexibility was my first must-have. Juggling a full-time job meant I needed a program that woul... d understand when I clocked in and out wasn't always going to be conventional. TripleTen, with its understanding and adaptable approach, made sure this was never a problem.
Secondly, I was searching for a strong support network. I knew cracking the code (pun intended!) wasn't going to be a piece of cake. But I also knew that with the right people to guide me and a supportive community to fall back on, I'd get there. And TripleTen didn’t let me down. The tutors and the community members were absolute gems, always ready to help. I can't thank the super helpful tutors at TripleTen enough!
Lastly, I was on the lookout for relevant and up-to-date learning resources. When I first decided to learn to code, I wasn't quite sure what I was getting myself into. But a bit of research pointed me towards the MERN stack - MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js. I realized this was a solid foundation for anyone wanting to dive into creating web applications with a team. And TripleTen nailed it here too, providing a course that was not just comprehensive, but bang up-to-date.
To sum up, TripleTen has been one heck of a ride! I've come out the other side not just with coding skills, but also with the confidence to face whatever comes next in my career. A big thank you to the entire team at TripleTen. You guys rock! Read more
I started as a high school math teacher for three years. I attended a four year university and spent about $75,000 on my four year degree that I ended up quitting after just three years. My backup plan was computer science in some way, and I found this company. I was a little weary about data scienc... e because it was so rigorous and included learning AI which I assumed was beyond my ability.
One year, and less than $8,000 later, I now have a job making over double my teacher salary. The career program in this course is also very rigorous, and will take a 2-3 weeks to get your portfolio to their standards. It does help in the long run, but I personally did not love the process.
The projects their courses offer are from real companies giving you real work anywhere from 2000-2017. Yes, the data may be a little old, but it gives you that real world feeling. Also, every project must be approved by one of their trained professionals. If your project is not approved, they will supply you with feedback on your mistakes and where they can be found.
Every single sprint consists of theoretical pages that give you deep insight on the skill you will be achieving. After the theory, it is common that you will be asked to demonstrate that theory the old fashioned way. For example, by hand calculate the product of two matrices. After learning how to perform that skill, and why it works, then they will show you where someone programmed it so you never have to do it by hand again. This was great for understanding the terminology rather than just saying big words and putting code to it.
Lastly, there is weekly office hours for tutors to help you on your project or sprint lessons, and there is weekly coworking sessions where students get together and try to figure out things together. It is a great community and maintains high professional status. Read more
I became interested in shifting to a career in technology after I was introduced to some rudimentary coding techniques related to a hobby. After some online research, I selected the Business Intelligence Analyst program at TripleTen for their flexible schedule, support staff, and career assistance p... rograms. Some of the sprints were more difficult than others, but I was always able to receive any necessary help from the program's tutors. I enjoyed learning about the various techniques and formulas needed to manipulate the data to find desired answers. When we used programs that I was at least somewhat familiar with, such as Excel, the lessons were still informative and useful. When we moved on to programs that I had not heard of, such as Tableau, the lessons were detailed enough that I was able to follow along without issue.
Besides resolving my difficulties completing the coursework, the TripleTen tutors were also always available to answer my questions concerning strategies and what it was like to actually work in the profession. I sent messages that were always promptly answered (except one time when the person I had messaged got the flu), and the video conference I arranged was very informative, supportive, and arranged around my schedule.
The projects at the end of each sprint were good summations of the material, which both assisted me through a real-world problem and forced me to think critically about how to solve one. When my projects were reviewed, the feedback was returned quickly, and it was generally helpful and specific. Their comments gave me useful insights into not only how to improve the general quality of my work but how to maximize the professionalism of what I was presenting and adhere to subtle industry expectations.
Since I have only recently graduated from the main BIA program, I have not yet had the opportunity to participate in one of their externships. But I look forward to receiving a task from an actual company and completing it under guidance of the TripleTen tutors. I sometimes lack confidence, and I believe this program will help me to have more faith that my newly acquired skills can successfully be translated into a career. Read more

I have been looking for a clear roadmap to learn Software engineering and was confused what road map to follow to achieve goal,
I can tell that definitely TripleTen made this possible for me to be confident about my career goals and follow a standard roadmap for being a software engineer,
I did choo... se TripleTen among other bootcamps because I could study my favourite learning materials like JavaScript and ReactJs in a very consistent and standard way ,
I prefer to study my learning materials 4 or 5 hours in a day because I have no job during my bootcamp, I can study more, I study my sprint chapters and lessons, if I had any problem on my project or question regarding my learning materials, first I google them if didn't get any help I search in Discord community channels that has a specific channel for each Sprint, if I didn't find that I post my question or I can join a Office hour that I can reach out and get help from tutors.
also I have joined a code jam that we work on a project that benefits our community and I did join a team to learn how working in a team is!
also I am participating in Externship program that help us build real world projects in teams and really helpful to grow up and challenge learned skills,
I like how TripleTen learning platform built, learning a lesson and doing a task at the same time with theory lessons, Having a good community of tutors and motivated students in Discord is also very helpful to move forward, Read more
My journey in the realm of software engineering began with my enrollment in the Software Engineering course at Tripleten. My name is Ryan, and I am excited to share my thoughts on this program that not only shaped my technical skills but also provided a unique and flexible learning experience.
The ... course, initially estimated at 10 months, took me about 11 months to complete. This extended duration was partly due to planned breaks that I strategically incorporated throughout the year. However, the flexibility offered by Tripleten was a key factor that allowed me to navigate through the program at my own pace.
One of the standout features of the course is its well-thought-out structure, which mirrors the real-world project management approach. The use of sprints, a concept familiar to many tech professionals, facilitates effective time management. In my current workplace, we employ a similar sprint methodology to ensure timely project completion and maintain focus. This approach at Tripleten empowered me to plan my schedule, allocate time for each two-week sprint/project, and even work ahead if possible. The allowance for working ahead and the provision of ample time for those who might struggle with specific course components contributed to a supportive and inclusive learning environment.
Having previously attempted another bootcamp, I found that Tripleten aligned better with my learning style and schedule. The collaborative nature of the course encouraged interaction with fellow learners, fostering an environment where ideas could be shared, and challenges could be collectively addressed. Making mistakes and not immediately grasping concepts was acceptable, as the program provided the necessary resources for self-correction. The exceptional tutors played a pivotal role in this regard. Their responsiveness, even during late-night hours, was a testament to their dedication. The availability of tutors, coupled with supplementary resources, proved instrumental in my success.
The projects, a significant component of the course, were rigorously assessed by proficient code reviewers. The stringent grading criteria aimed at ensuring the quality of the code. While the critiques were meticulous, they were constructive and aimed at pushing students to produce their best work. These projects, reflecting real-world scenarios, became valuable additions to my GitHub portfolio. From crafting a personal "about me" page to developing a small social media platform and a weather-based outfit suggestion site with user accounts, the projects showcased diverse skills applicable in the industry.
Tripleten also offered opportunities for participation in extra activities such as code jams, enhancing the understanding of core concepts. Though I, personally, couldn't take full advantage due to my full-time work commitments, I recognize the potential benefits for those able to engage in these supplementary activities.
The career review segment, yet to be fully explored by me as it initiates post-course completion, promises to be a valuable resource. This aspect involves a comprehensive review of resumes, cover letters, and a detailed discussion on effective job application strategies within the industry.
Despite the overwhelmingly positive aspects of the program, a few challenges have been encountered. The constant updates to the curriculum, while ensuring its relevance, presented a hurdle during my course. Adjusting to changes in project requirements and learning new concepts simultaneously added a layer of complexity to the learning process. Additionally, the communication with code reviewers, though generally effective, could benefit from more opportunities for clarification. An experimental test run during one of the sprints was promising, indicating a potential avenue for improvement.
Looking ahead, I harbor a wish for the inclusion of projects related to building online stores. Given the pivotal role of online transactions in today's world, a dedicated sprint covering the basics of developing a virtual marketplace could offer valuable insights. This addition would not only align with current industry trends but also enhance the practical applicability of the course content.
In conclusion, my experience with the Tripleten Software Engineering course has been largely positive, marked by flexibility, collaboration, and real-world applicability. The program's adaptability, coupled with the dedication of tutors and the challenging yet rewarding project assessments, has equipped me with a strong foundation for a successful career in software engineering.

Going into Software Engineering when switching your career path can be daunting and TripleTen is aware of that. They are super helpful in starting your journey. I am a former media major and I felt like something was missing. I originally went to college for engineering but because of one bad experi... ence I decided to switch majors. While I have a passion for media, I was missing that spark that just made everything click into place. I tried a number of different things that just didn't seem right and then I started looking at software engineering. It was a breath of fresh air after completing my first program but I was only getting so far learning by myself. There was a point where I didn't know what I knew vs what I didn't know. I didn't want to go back to college and waste thousands of dollars on the chance that I might go through with it. That's when I found TripleTen. It gave me the structure I needed to learn programming while also pushing me to be the best version of myself. The projects are based on real world projects and actually teach you how to problem solve and create new projects rather than just copy a project from a text book.
I highly recommend if you are switching careers or are self-taught but need structure in your learning journey to take a look into TripleTen. Read more
