Here’s why students choose Coding Temple

I had an incredible experience at Coding Temple. The instructors were not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive and always available to provide guidance. Their continuous feedback and reassurance boosted my confidence.

Melibeth M.

I wanted a head start on my career, and Coding Temple made that possible with their flex, self-paced schedule. Though the work was challenging and humbling, I had the help of fellow peers and instructors who I got to know very well.

Augustine T.

Coding Temple exceeded my expectations and left me feeling well-equipped for my career in coding. I had fun learning from my instructors, who were always happy to help when I was stuck and willing to explain things in different ways.

John C.

I tried out a couple of bootcamps before Coding Temple and knew they just weren’t for me. I loved the culture and the way the curriculum was set up. Our instructors set us up for success every step of the way.

About the course

Are there any prerequisites?

No formal prerequisites are required to start this course. Absolutely anyone can begin, even with zero experience in IT or QA. Some basic computer skills can make things a bit easier, but they’re not necessary: the course starts with foundational topics so you build your knowledge step by step.

What makes this course different from other free resources online?

Can I use these skills to freelance or start personal projects?

Absolutely. The skills you’ll gain, including manual and automated testing, API and performance testing, apply directly to freelance work and personal projects, and the projects you build become part of your portfolio.

How does the curriculum stay up to date?

The curriculum covers both foundational concepts and advanced skills relevant to the current QA landscape, with real-world projects and up-to-date tools.

Learning & support

What if I struggle with a module or concept?

You can revisit the material, use external resources, or reach out to the course community for guidance. The hands-on projects are also designed to reinforce learning and make difficult concepts more accessible.

How can I connect with other learners?

All free learners get access to two study halls: one specific to your learning path, and a general channel for learners from all of Coding Temple’s free courses. You can also join Zoom rooms to work on projects and network in real time.

What career paths can this course help me explore?

This course prepares you to explore roles like QA Engineer, Test Automation Specialist and QA Analyst, and gives you a foundation to keep building advanced skills and certifications.

Can I move to a paid Coding Temple bootcamp later?
