Good program in Cincinnati
My experience is a little unusual. First, I attended the bootcamp through a job placement program and already had a job lined up at the end. Second, I started the bootcamp in March 2020, right when the lockdowns in Ohio started. We only spent one day in the classroom before they informed us that we would be meeting remotely, and we never met in person for class since.

First, I attended the bootcamp through a job placement program and already had a job lined up at the end. Second, I started the bootcamp in March 2020, right when the lockdowns in Ohio started. We only spent one day in the classroom before they informed us that we would be meeting remotely, and we never met in person for class since.
They made sure we had the tools needed for at-home learning, including loaner laptops. I connected my laptop to my TV so I could view the daily classroom virtual meeting while taking notes and working on my own code. The instructor was available after class through the Slack app for additional questions, and checked in on us individually from time to time to see how we were doing. The class also met up on Discord on weekends to collaborate on homework. While it was difficult to learn remotely compared to in-person, we had lots of resources outside of lesson time.
The curriculum was very helpful for my position. Although I don't use Java very often in my job, the fundamentals taught at MAX allowed me to transfer those skills to new languages. The curriculum included all three layers of a web application, and we learned technologies and languages in current use. We received several textbooks for each language, including a MAX-created textbook for Git, MySQL, and Angular. I still refer to these from time to time. Curriculum also included a lesson in agile production and SCRUM procedures, something my workplace uses. There are several days devoted to assistance with finding a job, including professional resume development and review.
I would recommend MAX to someone interested in attending bootcamp in the Cincinnati area. Outside of my own positive experience, I have encountered several alumni at prominent companies in the city. - Pete MathewsAssociate Application Analyst and Developer • Graduate • Full-Time .NET Developer Bootcamp • CincinnatiVerified by LinkedInDec 01, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
.Net Bootcamp
I learned very basic HTML/CSS to hard code webpages as part of my job right out of college. From there I learned more about development on my own. I realized that I had a passion for coding and developing, but I didn’t have any “actual” experience nor the formal education that is pretty much required for a job.

My main reasons for attending a bootcamp were to advance my skills, network, and build my resume to make a career change, quickly and affordably.
I was undecided about rather I wanted to go more data science, web development, cyber security, or business applications.
I looked at the big name bootcamps, but felt that I wanted a program that had a relationship with the local organizations where I wanted to work. That narrowed down the list of programs significantly. An advantage that I saw with Max was that they offered more than just a bootcamp. They have been around for over a decade and truly had lasting relationships with organizations and a stable staff. I felt like Max was the best option for building a solid network in the Cincinnati area.
Most of the other reviews cover curriculum and it changes, so I won’t get much into it. I will say Greg has plenty of “real world” experience and can give a good insight into life as a developer and business applications.
In terms of career services, Annette is great and will work with you no matter how long it takes. As long as you are putting in the effort, she will support you. She welcomes you to reach if there is anything she can do to help, even after getting your first job.
One of the biggest reasons to attend Max is the family-like environment that you can rely on no matter how long it has been since the bootcamp! If I new training in the future, Max will be my first resort.
One piece of advice: Take advantage of getting a SCRUM certification that is included as part of the bootcamp!

I believe the best way to find the best bootcamp is to ask about the curriculum and how much time is spent on a particular topic. The curriculum is what will give you an outlook on what personal goals you can accomplish in your training.

The curriculum is what will give you an outlook on what personal goals you can accomplish in your training.
Speaking for myself, I am an extremely curious person and want to learn everything there is to know before I start something new. At MAX, I was a brand new to software development and had no idea what I was getting myself into. The training was intense and at times I thought I wasn't going to be able to succeed in this profession.
MAX was the best place for beginners and to those who just wanted to brush up on their skills. You may not retain all the information and skills that you learned in your time in training but you will gain the knowledge and awareness of what you need to do when you start at your new job. Also, not only will you have the help and support from your instructor(s) and staff but you will have help preparing you for your next steps after graduating from the bootcamp training.
I believe MAX is the best option because the doors at MAX are always open before and after your course is complete for any guidance you may need in your future endeavors.
Strongly recommend choosing MAX! - Chas Johnson.Net Developer • Graduate • Full-Time .NET Developer Bootcamp • CincinnatiVerified by LinkedInNov 12, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The staff is like nothing I've ever seen before. Everybody is always happy to see you and is always keeping the big picture in mind, the students. Their number one priority is the student and making sure they are always striving. Whether it be just having snacks or making sure there's always hot coffee, they're always trying to make sure that the student has the best experience and also has anything they could need to succeed. The instructors have been in the industry and they know everything that a student would need and a lot more. I got the pleasure of having Greg as my instructor and he was nothing but a blessing. He watches over everybody and is always making sure that there isn't anybody struggling, if somebody struggles a bit he has no problem spending time with you and making sure you feel comfortable before moving on. Even after they teach you everything you need to land a position they have this wonderful woman named Annette to help you find a job. Just like the boot camp, she's gonna be a little hard on you, but she does it because she knows what works. LISTEN TO HER!!!!! Along with Greg and Annette were Denise, Patricia, Kim, Kevin, Sean, and Jada. I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to spend five day a week with for a couple months. I couldn't recommend Max Technical Training enough. - Traci ChanAssociate Software Engineer • Full-Time .NET Developer Bootcamp • CincinnatiVerified by LinkedInNov 10, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

She worked with me on my resume and different strategies for looking and not getting defeated when I got rejected. She helped me learn from the rejections and move forward. Max Technical Training, has developed a great network of people, as well, connections to meet with others in the industry, whether you are looking for a job and want to connect or trying to find a group to connect and learn more. Max Technical Training helped me become a Software Engineer!

Boot Camp with Heart
Max Technical Training changed my life. I attended the .Net boot camp with a learning disability. The instructors and administrative staff went out of their way to accommodate me and make me comfortable. They care about each and every student and go the distance to ensure that they are successful! The career placement program is top notch and helps each student to find the employer that is the right fit for them.

I served in the military from 2011 - 2017 as a satellite communications technician.

I served in the military from 2011 - 2017 as a satellite communications technician. When I transitioned from the military to civilian life in 2017, I had committed myself to staying in the field of information technology and computer science. Prior to separating, I had no form of higher education, no college credit hours, and no solid plan for how I would make an entry into the civilian workforce. All I had was a dream and government funding in the form of the G.I. Bill. I found myself debating between two options; take the college plunge and spend the next 4 years earning a degree in hopes that it lands me a job, or attend a technical school specifically oriented to the field I was looking to find a place in. I decided college wasn't for me and ultimately I ended up enrolling in a .Net full stack development boot camp at MAX Technical Training. The boot camp was the best decision I could have ever made. It gave me all of the necessary skills and knowledge to be a competitive candidate in a field that I had a strong passion for. I can't thank the MAX staff and faculty enough for the opportunities that they have afforded me. However, the benefits that MAX Technical Training offer doesn't end at knowledge and skill. Once you graduate, the staff go above and beyond to help you find job opportunities and to give you the best possible chance at finding a position that you will no doubt be thrilled to fill. 5 stars is simply not enough for me to express how truly happy I am that I went with MAX Tech. I can not recommend them enough, particularly to veterans looking to make their way into the civilian technical workforce.- ErinProduct Developer • Student • Java Developer Bootcamp • CincinnatiVerified by LinkedInJan 29, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

As a former career teacher myself, I found Sean's instruction to be phenomenal. On top of being an expert developer, Sean really knows HOW to teach and guide each individual student in the class. His passion and dedication inspired me when the going got tough. I landed at my new job two days after graduation with only 11 weeks of coding experience!
If you are comparing local bootcamps, definitely attend an open house at MAX before making a final decision...I did after I thought I had made mine!

Great program
Entered this program with pretty much zero experience coding, and three months later I've got a job placement as a developer. Phenomenal program and staff. I really enjoyed my time at MAX and would recommend it to anyone looking to take a similar path. It is fast paced and there's a lot to learn, but it's a good thing. - amberJava developer • Graduate • Java Developer Bootcamp • CincinnatiVerified by LinkedInOct 25, 2019Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

My biggest piece of advice:
I had zero, i mean absolutely zero background in coding. They advertise as that's okay. However, when you're in class sitting next to someone who has been coding for years, it's intimidating. Not only that-- but of course, the instructors want to teach to them and move on, instead of spending more time on the basics. If that's always going to be the case, separate classes based on coding experience that way everyone can get the attention and education they need.
