Gonzalo Corral GalindoStudentAug 01, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/AAffordable, but lacks depth
I wanted a change of career. It was overall a good experience, but I'm not sure it has enough practice or goes deep enough into the subjects to prepare for a future job. Thankfully, it's really affordable, but if you do this boot camp then supplement the weekly assignments with your own videos.- Daniel SilvaStudent • Full Stack Web and Mobile Application Development • OnlineJul 25, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Excellent So Far!
Nucamp's affordability led me to try it out. Honestly, I am enjoying it very much! Having other students who are learning as well sure helps! Another great thing is the communication and the community through Discord where you have graduates and all sort of instructors there to help you. They have their own mini-version of AI which helps with debugging and whatnot. - Alejandra ParraStudent • Full Stack Web and Mobile Application Development • Las VegasJul 23, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

I do believe its important to continue to learn on your own but having a class structure just helps keep me motivated to keep on going. I truly enjoy the flexibility to learn on your own during the week and then attend class once a week for workshops. Both students and instructors serve as great resources during the course and there is always someone online to help if you need it. Grateful for Nucamp and excited to continue on my full stack journey. - JBPSVP Engineering • Student • Full Stack Web and Mobile Application Development • DallasJul 22, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Started Well But Disappointed .....
NuCamp Started Great for Me with the Web Development course and led me to believe I could undertake this (a long time goal) to become a Full Stack Developer. I am a busy professional and it is challenging to carve out time when competing with things outside and often times not controllable.
I found that there is a very big difference between instructors at NuCamp, and that starting off the bootstrap course required new concepts in setup of computing platforms and resources. And ...NuCamp Started Great for Me with the Web Development course and led me to believe I could undertake this (a long time goal) to become a Full Stack Developer. I am a busy professional and it is challenging to carve out time when competing with things outside and often times not controllable.
I found that there is a very big difference between instructors at NuCamp, and that starting off the bootstrap course required new concepts in setup of computing platforms and resources. And while I accomplished that (as I am a network engineer by trade and familiar with IT and compute platforms in general), I had to go back and redo the setup procedures between 2 different machines a couple times.
While this was good practice I felt that the setup documentation was lacking and to make matters worse the course and instructor made no allowance for this and just simply went too fast through content to ever really be able to catch up. The time on Saturday's which started out good in the web development course we're really not 2-way in the Full Stack Course and it was just a one way verbatim of the week's summary slides, which I felt should have been more of a guided review with Q&A on the exercises and activities completed during the week.
I am a technologist by trade for 20 years and an SVP of Engineering so my judgement should be a bit better than average, but I saw a lot of my other classmates seriously struggling as well.
I really liked the principle and first experience of NuCamp, but have to say I was very disappointed in the failure to establish a good and positive feedback loop to the Full Stack course for students and the pace was just simply too fast to learn by watching a short youtube segment and then plowing through exercises only to get to Saturday and listen to a lecture on the summary slides of the week.
I am disappointed in myself for not keeping up, and still have my goal of full stack development proficiency but I have to reassess if this format is a good one to learn from at the pace it is plowing through content with little time for Q&A.
Still a NuCamp Fan but feel like a bit of care and better instructions should be devoted to purpose, intent (where you will start and where you will end up for each course), requirements and setup of tools needed to get your platform right and a little thumbs up to the class before rushing ahead and getting everyone weeks behind just running to catchup.
As a technical person I like to hear: here is what you will learn in the course, where you should be at when you start and here is what you will be able to do when you complete the course, here is what you are going to install, this is what it allows your machine to do, this is the process overhead of how it affects computing platforms and the differences between directory and proper file structure management between courses, modules and technical tool requirements.
Anyway, sadly this approach and pace to full stack failed for me and I would like to return again and attempt with a different instructor. While I am still being billed monthly the instructor cut off my access to course live workshops and never responded to my inquiries in what her recommendations would be to get caught up.
Bootstrap was in fact one of the areas I was looking forward to most and just the beginning of the course series, so very sad that I cannot listen along and try to absorb as much as possible for my next attempts... while I am still being billed.... that doesn't seem right to me....... I am not giving up on learning but it looks like NuCamp is giving up on me. - Robert SandersStudent • DenverJul 17, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Definitely worth the investment
Nucamp was a great next-step experience for me regarding my Python travels. The Fundamentals course has well moved me from intermittent self-learning, to intentional and fully engaged. My instructor (Jack) was a legit pro. - Dana LewisStudent • Back End, SQL, and DevOps with Python • OnlineJul 15, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Nucamp: Software Engineering Program
I was impressed by Nucamp's Return on Investment compared to other bootcamps out there. Another feature that drew me to attend Nucamp was there way of highlighting former students who had non tradition backgrounds as myself, and seeing their success. I believe it was the correct decision to attend Nucamp's coding bootcamp because I enjoy learning new things and I feel I will definitely be ready to enter the workforce once I complete the bootcamp. - Hunter MooneyStudent • Front End Web and Mobile Development • OnlineJun 25, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Nucamp: A Game-Changer in My Career Transition Journey
As someone who entered the field of coding with a mix of curiosity and aspiration for a career change, I must say Nucamp has exceeded all my expectations!
My journey began after witnessing my brother graduate from their full-stack course and land a full-time job not long after. That was the spark that piqued my interest. But what happened afterward has turned that spark into a raging fire of passion for coding.

My journey began after witnessing my brother graduate from their full-stack course and land a full-time job not long after. That was the spark that piqued my interest. But what happened afterward has turned that spark into a raging fire of passion for coding.
The whole learning experience has been nothing short of phenomenal. The bootcamp’s unique blend of theoretical concepts and practical coding challenges has made the learning experience immersive and exciting. I’m not just learning how to code, I’m learning how to solve problems and build effective solutions.
What's more, the course structure and pacing are designed to accommodate various learning styles, which has helped me grasp complex concepts and technologies in a manageable and comprehensible way.
And let's not forget the instructors – they are absolutely top-notch! They are not just knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive, always ready to clarify doubts, provide insights, and share their invaluable real-world experience. It feels less like a traditional classroom and more like a supportive community of like-minded individuals.
Another notable feature is the job support. Nucamp doesn't just teach you how to code, they guide you into your new career. They offer career services that help you with resume building, interview techniques, and networking in the tech industry. Watching my brother transition seamlessly into his new job gave me the assurance I needed to dive into this career change.
All in all, my experience at Nucamp has been a positive one. It's a path I embarked on to quench my curiosity and facilitate my career transition, and I must say, it's doing a remarkable job.
For anyone out there considering a coding bootcamp, I wholeheartedly recommend Nucamp. Whether you're a newbie or someone looking for a career change like me, this bootcamp will equip you with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to succeed in the tech industry. It's been an amazing ride for me, and I am sure it will be the same for you.
Here's to coding, career changes, and the endless opportunities that Nucamp offers. Cheers! - Shakeel BashirStudent • Full Stack Web and Mobile Application Development • Los AngelesJun 24, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Nucamp React Native
I've had a great experience at nucamp and the instructors have been great getting guidance or talking to admin folks has been smooth and seemless. When theres an issue they are very helpful. The workshops are great and challenge you to think and challenge yourself with the code. I think its really about what you put in is what youll get the more you work on it and study the easier and more natural it starts to come . But it does get more fun the more you understand it - Carla de la RosaStudent • Web Development Fundamentals • San FranciscoJun 22, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Worth the time and money
I was attracted to the program because it is financially attainable, and possible for those with busy schedules to complete. I have a full tiem job and two little girls, so flexibility with scheduling is important for me. I liked the course, although I wish the JavaScript section was longer. We did a lot in just two weeks. I believe nuCamp has changed the fundamentals course so accomodate this request from many students. - Sylvia BarcenaGraduate • SeattleJun 09, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
From Curiosity to Empowerment
I stumbled upon Nucamp through WA Career Bridge and after a phone call with Anuja, I gained a clearer understanding of the bootcamp and decided to try the Web Fundamentals. Initially, obviously I was quite nervous, I would like to emphasize the importance of dedicating sufficient time for studying each week. It is crucial to allocate time for practice and actively engage in the workshops. Once the class started, the teacher made it incredibly easy to grasp all the information and created...I stumbled upon Nucamp through WA Career Bridge and after a phone call with Anuja, I gained a clearer understanding of the bootcamp and decided to try the Web Fundamentals. Initially, obviously I was quite nervous, I would like to emphasize the importance of dedicating sufficient time for studying each week. It is crucial to allocate time for practice and actively engage in the workshops. Once the class started, the teacher made it incredibly easy to grasp all the information and created a relaxed learning environment. He consistently provided words of encouragement, celebrating our achievements and progress.
Another notable aspect of the teacher's practice of forming groups during challenges. This creates an environment where fellow students can collaborate, support, and help each other. I found it incredibly beneficial to work alongside classmates who were not only encouraging but also willing to lend a hand. It was through this process of helping others that I discovered the power of mutual learning, you can gained new insights and perspectives, but mainly you reinforce your own understanding of the subject matter. - Manuel J BaukaGraduate • Fort LauderdaleJun 01, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Great experience.
I had a great experience joining this bootcamp, as I am on the path to transition from my current field of expertise and enjoy it as it goes. I would recommend it to everyone looking for an affordable Bootcamp. - Johnathan HatfieldGraduate • MemphisMay 31, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
A very affordable coding camp!
I am very glad i decided to go with Nucamp to start the process of becoming a fullstack developer. It has been a very affordable way to start my coding journey, and i look forward to learning more with them!
