Denver's Turing School of Software & Design is launching its second intensive training program in front-end engineering. The intensive month-long class is designed to prepare students for careers in website design -- from learning the basics of HTML and CSS to client-side development and web-based applications for both desktop and mobile devices.
"While we pride ourselves on opening the technology industry to a diverse array of backgrounds and talents, we evaluate all applicants for aptitude, growth mindset, engagement, agency, empathy and grit," school officials explain in a statement. "Across our programs we've evaluated over a thousand candidates, selecting fewer than 35 percent."
Modules typically include somewhere between 30 and 40 students, says spokesperson Eric Wetmore. This year's programs are scheduled to begin May 9, June 27, August 15, October 3 and November 28.
"Turing School is harder than any other development school. It promises and consistently delivers mid-level developers who know how to code, communicate about code, understand how to share responsibilities as a team, and respect different cultural backgrounds in the workplace," contends Instructor Romeeka Gayhart.
The school says that 96 percent of its graduates are full-time software developers within 4 month of graduation and that its graduates start at an average salary of $75,0000.
It's the second program offering for the nonprofit school, which is helmed by Galvanize Co-Founder Jeff Casimir. The first was its web application development program. Both programs are split into a series of modules or cohorts to allow enrollees to immerse themselves in the training.
