Turing is the only accredited, non-profit, online software engineering school where you can launch your new career in under a year.
Can you make it as a programmer? How do our live, instructor-led classes work?
Join a live Try Turing session and find the answers. We'll teach you how to get started writing code. We'll explain more about our curriculum, discuss employment prospects, and answer your questions!
We've redesigned our curriculum based on what's working in the job market. Our students today are learning in a more flexible environment that allows them to specialize and differentiate themselves, while also building the foundations for a successful career.
We begin with the fundamentals of Object-Oriented Programming and Test-Driven Development using Ruby and a bit of Javascript. Building on that foundation, we move to the web and study Model-View-Controller application architecture with Ruby on Rails while leveraging Javascript on the front end. In the second half of the program, we learn to build and integrate APIs and work with multiple programming languages at the same time.
Module 4 serves as the capstone where students are pushed to specialize their skillset by learning more about React, SQL and Databases, Rails and Back End architecture, or other languages that interest them -- while working in a team and building their largest and most complex application to date.
Turing is faster than a degree and longer than most bootcamps. Why?
Computer Science degrees are great if you have multiple years to spend learning foundational understandings. But most CS programs don't prepare you to actually do the job of a software engineer.
Meanwhile, bootcamps promise to teach everything you need to know in a handful of weeks. Most of them don't work. You'll find they shy away from reporting employment outcomes and rarely talk about careers beyond first jobs.
Turing is fast enough to be employed in a year and long enough to build real skills and understandings. We emphasize professional development and collaborative skills. We support you throughout the job hunt. That's why our grads consistently outperform the overall market and the majority of alumni are Senior Software Engineers within five years.
Turing’s mission is to unlock human potential by training a diverse and inclusive student body to succeed in high fulfillment technical careers.
“This is 100% my dream job and industry. It combines my passion for tech with my passion for music and artists. There are a handful of Turing alumni that work at my company so they know the skills I'm coming in with and I'm able to learn new languages and technologies. It’s huge, and I couldn’t be happier.”
We try to make Turing accessible for every person who wants to change their career. As the only accredited bootcamp in the country, we are able to offer options that others can't. We partner with multiple workforce offices, state governments, and the Veterans Administration to decrease tuition costs where possible. Then our loan partners can offer great options to cover both tuition and cost-of-living expenses.
Talk to Our Financial Aid TeamOur instructors are a mix of educators turned programmers and programmers turned educators. All lessons and projects are designed with employer needs in mind and ensure that our students are equipped for continued learning throughout their careers.
View Grads“Our ten years of track record show that accelerated training works. Our alumni tell us that they're continuing to grow, earn promotions, start businesses, and living a life they dreamed of. As they become Senior Engineers and CTOs, the power of the network is growing every day.”
