Testimonials

Here’s why students choose Coding Temple

I had an incredible experience at Coding Temple. The instructors (Flex team—Brandt, Donovan, and Saint) were not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive and always available to provide guidance. Their continuous feedback and reassurance boosted my confidence and made me feel like I was making great progress.

Melibeth M.

I was still in my senior year of highschool, but I wanted a head start on my career! Coding Temple made that possible with their flex/self-paced schedule! With this I was able to complete lessons on time whenever it was convenient! Though the work was challenging and humbling, I had the help of fellow peers and instructors who I got to know very well, helping me with whatever issues one may face with code or issues with payment/deadlines! The experience is something that I will never forget and am forever grateful to have taken part in!

Augustine T.

Coding Temple exceeded my expectations and left me feeling well-equipped for my career in coding. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to dive into the world of software development or looking to enhance their existing skills. 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 if needed. They made learning the material easy.

John C.

I started CT in February and just graduated yesterday. I tried out a couple of bootcamps before CT and knew they just weren’t for me. The culture, the way the curriculum was set up. I LOVED that the student to teacher ratio was about 1:4 (compared to others bootcamps where its about 1:15). Our instructors made it known it is a very fast paced course and set us up for success every step of the way. Id recommend this course to anyone that wants to learn how to code!
