The Right choice!
After making the choice to get into programming, and after careful research I enrolled in the Java BootCamp at CincyCode IT. I had no programming background and was displaced from work due to outsourcing, so I needed a school with a robust program for beginners and a good job placement service. The instructors, Sean Blessing and Greg Doud, went above and beyond to see me through this process; making time outside class hours to help.

After making the choice to get into programming, and after careful research I enrolled in the Java BootCamp at CincyCode IT. I had no programming background and was displaced from work due to outsourcing, so I needed a school with a robust program for beginners and a good job placement service. The instructors, Sean Blessing and Greg Doud, went above and beyond to see me through this process; making time outside class hours to help. After the program, a whole week was dedicated to career counseling [employement week]. This included resume writing and bringing in, HR-personnels from reputable companies to speak on best practices on resume writing, interviews and also conduct mock interviews. A career manager on site, Lisa, works tremendously, to ensure every resource is tapped. Through CincyCode IT networking, I was selected by an agency for a course for 3 weeks for possible hire. I am now hired as a software programmer and have my start date. Thanks Sean, Greg, Lisa, Dave, Kim P and all the wonderful staff at Max, Thank you all again.

I have zero coding background before I attended to Hack my Head Bootcamp. I haven't thought that coding would be a part of my life because what I have heard about coding is so hard and only smart people can do it. Anyway, I still wanted to try to give it a shot but I was not confidence enough to take class until I heard about this affordable Bootcamp. I wanted to challenge myself and get out from my comfort zone so I was here.

I haven't thought that coding would be a part of my life because what I have heard about coding is so hard and only smart people can do it. Anyway, I still wanted to try to give it a shot but I was not confidence enough to take class until I heard about this affordable Bootcamp. I wanted to challenge myself and get out from my comfort zone so I was here. This was one of the best decisions I ever decided. Coding is real hard as I expected but it was fun. Even though coding was hard, I still enjoyed and addicted to it. What I like the most in this cohort is my classmates. We always reach to each others and ask for help when each encounter difficulties and none of them refuse to help. I have learned a lot from our incredible instructor Maxwell and also from the classmate as well during the peers break out room. The lecture from each day was the source of the daily assignment and the assignments were the source of the weekly project. From the week 1 to week 14 we used all tools we have learned from the class to build our final project. Today is our last day of the class. It is bitter sweet, I am glad we all can made it today "Congratulation" but I will miss the meeting on zoom with all of my classmates every Monday to Thursday. There is a lot more for me to learn. I will keep learning and practicing coding. It is a part of my life now. This isn't end but the new beginning. For the future students who has zero coding background like me, don't afraid to take your first step by join this incredible Bootcamp. If I can do it, you can do it.- Brayden WilliamsIT Data Governance Analyst • Graduate • MAX Agile IT Business Analyst • CincinnatiAug 15, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Worth the effort!
I recently took the Business Analyst boot camp at MAX, I had a great experience and would recommend it to anyone looking to change careers or just wanting to learn new skills!

I found the boot camp through a friend who had taken it before and I had taken an interest in analytics after taking the Data Analytics course through Google’s career program. The course I took through Google was informative but everything was pre-recorded and you had no classmates. Upon finishing the Google course I applied to hundreds of jobs and only landed two interviews, I thought there was no hope for me since I had no on the job experience as well as having no degree. This all changed after going through the boot camp at MAX, the class was live over zoom and the instructors were very knowledgeable, you had classmates to work on projects with and the learning environment was great! During the bootcamp I worked part-time at T-mobile and I felt that the coursework wasn’t too hard to keep up with, you learn a lot in the short 9 weeks and if you pay attention during class you will retain the information presented to you. After graduating it only took a month for me to land my first position and I couldn’t have done it without the great people at MAX. Once you graduate you aren’t stranded on your own, they offer career services and leverage their connections to companies in the area to help you throughout the job search. I am starting my new position in a few weeks and I couldn’t feel more prepared after finishing this course. I recommend anyone who is looking for a change to put in the effort and complete this course! - Timothy DorenInternal Application Developer • Student • MAX Full-time JAVA/C#(.NET) Coding Bootcamp • CincinnatiAug 09, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
New Career Change with MAX
Last year I was making little money as a private music instructor. I loved teaching music, but I was living paycheck to paycheck struggling to get more students. Earlier in my life, I took two coding classes in high school, and I absolutely loved it. I ended up not going to college for it because I was passionate about other things, but in the back of my mind it was always a passion for me and something I wanted to do still.

I loved teaching music, but I was living paycheck to paycheck struggling to get more students. Earlier in my life, I took two coding classes in high school, and I absolutely loved it. I ended up not going to college for it because I was passionate about other things, but in the back of my mind it was always a passion for me and something I wanted to do still. I had a friend tell me about coding bootcamps, and I was sold. I really wanted to make a career change. I ended up almost doing a pretty average bootcamp that had very mixed reviews, but at the last minute, I had a friend tell me about MAX technical training. It was the perfect bootcamp for me and my career.
MAX covers a very wide range of topics and prepares you for the software development cycle. What I love about MAX is that it truly covers the whole spectrum of software development. Starting with Git/GitHub, then with backend (C# and Java), then with SQL for a week (which is very important), and then finishing the class with frontend (HTML/CSS/JS/TS/and Angular). If you're looking for a coding bootcamp, you need to find one that isn't focused on just a tech stack. Its curriculum shouldn't just be focused on teaching you the newest mainstream javascript framework, and it's not worried about trying to put you in JUST a frontend role. To me, a bootcamp should be full stack, teaching you the big picture because that makes you way more valuable as a programmer and it also prepares you for anything, letting your career path be flexible and not pigeonholing you into one specific path. Thus, the course curriculum of MAX in my opinion is close to perfect. The main instructor and the other instructors were amazing too; they were all very passionate about teaching while also trying to give you any careeer advice they can along the way. Furthermore, they are also the only bootcamp to my knowledge in Ohio, or one of the only ones, where they have someone train you to get SCRUM certified, and it's covered under your tuition. Adding that PSM 1 certificate isn't a huge deal, but I think it definitely helps your resume and LinkedIn get noticed when looking for a job and can get you a slightly higher salary. I got asked about it in all my job interviews.
I will say my criticisms of MAX are pretty slim, but I will say a couple things. I think while the course instruction was awesome and taught me a lot even as someone with a computer science background already, I wished there were more projects or small exercises we did. Even if it were one small project a week or something like that, I think that would have given me a little more confidence and helped me practice. While you do one main project at MAX and most days of course instruction is about building projects and coding constantly, I think more smaller projects would have helped me a little. But this is probably more of a preference thing for me personally. Either way, I still had a great education with MAX and I don't want to take away from that. Some other bootcamps give you a lot more assignments and homework, and that may be something you want. MAX doesn't really give you homework per se; the teacher most days will give you an idea of something to work on at home, like doing an extension of something you did in class that day, but it is pretty much optional. I enjoyed that personally and would often do these little extensions, but I think some people would rather have an assignment every night. I am not one of those people necessarily, but I want to be honest and talk about that because some people may want a more stringent experience. Most of MAX's approach is like half lecture, and half using what you learned to make something alongside the teacher. Then, once the class got some practice, the teacher would give us open lab to build our capstone project. I enjoyed this approach a lot and it worked for me well. I think adding some more small assignments throughout the 3 months would have helped me personally, BUT I could've just done every extension the teacher recommended to the class, and while I did a lot of them, I didn't do all of them. So again, I just want to be transparent about the whole process, but overall, I would genuinely say the course instruction is close to perfect, and all the instructors are amazing at what they do.
Really the most important part of any bootcamp is getting you a job. The career services of MAX are just as strong as the course instruction. You pretty much get the constant help of a seasoned career coach who is passionate about your success and landing you a job. The career coach is very thorough and makes sure your resume is strong, your Github is good, your LinkedIn is optimized, and overall you're aggressive and on track with your job search, applying to many jobs per week. No bootcamp is going to just land you a job. Because the hardest part of any coding bootcamp isn't the coding, the hardest part is getting a job. The actual coding is not the hard part (except it is very hard and demanding). If you intend to do a coding bootcamp, I would advise you are ready to make it your full commitment and be coding as much as possible. After bootcamp is finished, you cannot stop. In fact, that is when you should push down the hardest on the gas pedal. You have to keep learning and apply for as many jobs as you can. MAX really does everything in its power to get the student to do this, but at the end of the day, they cannot just get you a job. It's on YOU to get a job, not them! I'm sure some bootcamps claim they have special relationships with certain companies and can land you a job, and it does happen every so often with any bootcamp, but in reality most students just have to find their own opportunity. For example, I got an interview at a company because of MAX's relationship with them (didn't get the job though). In my opinion, MAX prepares you for this process of finding your own opportunity and really coaches you on how to find a job in general. So even after many years of working that first job, if you ever need to find a new job thereafter, MAX prepares you for that.
Overall, MAX was a great experience for me that helped me land my first coding job (65k a year, 2 months after bootcamp graduation). It also prepared me for the full-stack software life cycle, and I think this will allow for my continued success in the field of software development. - Jacob WitteSecurity Engineer • Student • MAX Full-time JAVA/C#(.NET) Coding Bootcamp • CincinnatiMay 20, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Great way to change careers
I came to MAX because I wanted a change; my previous career didn't feel right for me but I did not want to take 4 years to get a career through college. I heard about MAX through a friend who took the same path (teacher -> tech) and decided to take the plunge because of their repayment options being so friendly. I was able to utilize a program with the state that let me pay after graduation, once I received a job.

I heard about MAX through a friend who took the same path (teacher -> tech) and decided to take the plunge because of their repayment options being so friendly. I was able to utilize a program with the state that let me pay after graduation, once I received a job.
The boot camp itself is pretty straightforward - 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 13 weeks. You cover a wide range of topics for a full stack, meaning source control, database, backend, and frontend. The instructor is great, and you ALWAYS have opportunities to ask questions or to go over something if you don't understand. You get plenty of resources for checking and reviewing, and breaks every 90 minutes or so.
You're able to take it in person or remote, but I personally recommend in person so you can build camaraderie with your class(and for me it helped me focus). Throughout the camp they also have guests they bring in for certain topics, like a local recruiting company to talk about contract to hire and apprenticeship roles, a specialist for scrum (work flow methodology), and more.
You build up a project using all your skills, and once it's approved you are cleared for graduation. After that you enter job search. The career specialist meets with you every week and helps with goals, finding jobs, getting your foot in the door and more. Most of their network is Cincinnati based, so if you're looking for a job outside that area, it may be a bit tougher but they'll do everything they can to help.
Overall, it was a lot of work, but certainly worth it. They're with you every step of the way, and there are many alumni you can reach out to for tips and advice as well. I highly recommend the camp if you're up to it! - Samuel SchultzSoftware Developer • Graduate • MAX Full-time JAVA/C#(.NET) Coding Bootcamp • CincinnatiFeb 06, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
