Less tangible but vitally important, TTS also provided me with valuable resources: experienced instructors, networking opportunities, presentations by local professionals with advice about what it takes to be a programmer in the real world, as well as encouragement and support every single step of the way.

This isn’t high school, and this isn’t college; this is a group of passionate adult learners that want to go somewhere new in life. From starting their own business, to changing careers, to just adding a new skill to their resume, Tech Talent South students are serious about learning because their future depends on it.

Tech Talent South does it right. My teachers Tim and Dan are rockstars in my eyes. They are there to help with any problems we come up against and explain the solution (and explain again, in my case). I always feel good about what I am learning and never afraid to say I don’t get it.
