Great Bootcamp!
I decided to enroll in the Nucamp Full Stack bootcamp because they promised part-time hours, a relevant course load, a quick path to graduation and an affordable price. I've been self-employed for many years, and I was ready to transition into a career where I could work fewer hours but still make great money. I chose programming because I've always dabbled in web design, but always with sites like Wix, and I thought it would be a natural next step to learn how to actually build beautifu...I decided to enroll in the Nucamp Full Stack bootcamp because they promised part-time hours, a relevant course load, a quick path to graduation and an affordable price. I've been self-employed for many years, and I was ready to transition into a career where I could work fewer hours but still make great money. I chose programming because I've always dabbled in web design, but always with sites like Wix, and I thought it would be a natural next step to learn how to actually build beautiful, user-friendly UIs. Nucamp has definitely taught me how to do that and more.
I am a very self-motivated person, so Nucamp was a great fit for me because most of the learning in this course is self-driven, using guidance and resources from Nucamp. I liked that I was able to fit it in around my schedule, and I didn't have to commit many specific hours per week to the class (that said, I would have liked maybe one more class mid-week to really help me get through the material). Most weeks, I worked somewhere between part- and full-time hours, but I chose to dive deep into the coursework, which demanded the extra time. I appreciated the requirement of portfolio projects for this course, because I felt like the material really seemed to come together for me when I was coding those projects, and I have graduated with a portfolio ready to show to potential employers.
I liked each instructor that I had. They were all very skilled in their fields as well as personable and extremely helpful. You will become a member of the Nucamp Slack group, in which you can ask any question and receive gracious help from the many instructors and students in the bootcamp (and offer help when you can as well!).
I have just started the career counseling part of the bootcamp, and so far, it is really a big help. Nucamp really is committed to helping their students succeed, and having the career counseling is one more way that that comes through.
I definitely recommend Nucamp if you are ready to commit to programming, and are a self-motivated learner. It's a whirlwind, but truly amazing how much one can learn in a short amount of time!

Great experience, with the cost allowing you to learn a new skillset while not hurting your bottom line. The cost of multiple bootcamps is still less than some other schools.

Nucamp Review
I have completed part 1 of 4 in the FullStack Course and I have not been disappointed. Nucamp was the right fit for my budget and their scholarship offerings were also a big help. Now, I have learned that the Nucamp community also provides a framework to build upon my previous studies in order to take me to the next level of my journey towards becoming a web developer. Come prepared to put in the work and Nucamp can do the same for you.

Great Boot Camp For The Price!
The price was very reasonable and the courses are laid out so we know what is expected. They give us plenty of resources and allow us to apply what we have learned.

Nucamp experience!
Choosing a Bootcamp can be a bit overwhelming but it comes down to your needs and availability. Choosing Nucamp was not my first option or my last option.

Choosing Nucamp was not my first option or my last option. But I just finish the bootstrap course it only took 5 weeks. And in those five weeks, we learn how to properly use bootstrap and all the features that come with the library. I can definitely see how learning how to use the bootstrap library as one of your tools as a developer can make things much easier to develop and maintain a clean-looking website. I can't wait to continue with the rest of the course and complete my front-end development and see what other development tools ill learn about. And the reason I chose to go with Nucamp's Front-end Development course was the ability to work on the lessons throughout the week at my own pace and be able to do deep research on each lesson. Also having the ability to ask questions to a big community of current and past students of Nucamp on their slack channel. And if you're currently working you won't have to struggle with juggling your work schedule and your class schedule. Because you only have one live class every Saturday. So it gives you plenty of time during the week to work on your assignments during your free time. - Charles R.Student • Full Stack Web and Mobile Application Development • OnlineVerified by LinkedInSep 18, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Excellent.
I've been through a lot of different online courses, including Thinkful. I was so excited to start Nucamp because of the affordability and the syllabus looked like something that could actually be accomplished and not a bunch of coursework without the extra resources and any help, if necessary. You really do have to stay motivated throughout and keep yourself on topic.

I really loved going through the bootstrap course! It was a new thing for me - since I've never attempted Bootstrap on my own. The course was affordable and I felt that since the classes were smaller, it was geared more towards each student's progress. The instructor, Olivia, was amazing as well. I definitely enjoyed the past 5 weeks going through it.

Boost of confidence that I needed
As someone who has both a learning disability and struggles with ADHD, this was the first time I successfully finished a course. I genuinely believe that if someone like me can learn anyone can learn. I never thought I'd ever be able to learn how to code because I struggled for years trying to stay motivated. Albeit, I am still working my way through the Back End, SQL, and DevOps program, the feeling of overcoming the fundamental hump feels good. NuCamp's structured classes,...As someone who has both a learning disability and struggles with ADHD, this was the first time I successfully finished a course. I genuinely believe that if someone like me can learn anyone can learn. I never thought I'd ever be able to learn how to code because I struggled for years trying to stay motivated. Albeit, I am still working my way through the Back End, SQL, and DevOps program, the feeling of overcoming the fundamental hump feels good. NuCamp's structured classes, supportive community, and instructors helped motivate me to stay on track with the course and not give up. Lessons are broken down into chunks so it's easier to understand and digest. If you run into issues, classmates and instructors will jump in to assist and provide guidance. I specifically picked this program because it was budget friendly and it offered the structure that I needed to be successful. Something people have to realize when they sign up for coding bootcamps in general is there are no shortcuts or magic bullet for learning. You have to have realistic expectations going in so you don't set yourself up for failure. You learn through practice and having a supportive community helps. Ultimately, your success lies heavily on your own efforts and motivation. When taking the course there is an expectation that majority of your time will be self-study and lots of practice using multiple resources both in-house and out. I truly believe this NuCamp's bootcamp gave me a boost of confidence that I needed to work towards my career goals and projects. I am ecstatic about working on personal projects and can't wait to learn more. I highly recommend this program to those who want to learn coding, but lack the confidence or support. - Zachary SavouryStudent • Back End, SQL, and DevOps with Python • Hybrid (Online & In-person)Verified by GitHubSep 11, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Great school, Great Environment
What led me to enroll in NuCamp was the opportunity to reskill myself and get a job that I desired. I believe this was a good decision since Nucamp is giving me an environment to push myself in and has taught me fundamentals that I would otherwise have overlooked in my self-learning. - Jair SandovalStudentVerified by LinkedInSep 01, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I am currently a teacher and my family needs to make more money. I have always wanted to learning coding, and taking this step has seriously turned up the fire! It is time for a serious career change to something that is enjoyable, productive and satisfying at the same time! Taking this bootcamp has definitely put me in the right direction. I am continuing to the full stack bootcamp next. - Steven VallarsaStudent • Full Stack Web and Mobile Application Development • OnlineVerified by LinkedInAug 31, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
