The HTML, CSS and JS bootcamp did a good job at presenting basic concepts in a way that were usually fairly easy to understand. The real world concepts of web dev are a little lost on this entry level course, but with it being entry level that is to be expected. If you are a beginner with not much experience like me or, even none. And want to take your web dev career seriously, I would recommend this course and the rest that Nucamp has to offer.

The bootcamps alone are not enough to make you a developer but it is a great way to get exposed to lots of information that wouldn't ordinarily be in one place and they offer lots of exernal refence links to much more in-depth information on any topic. With hard work and persistence, you can easily turn all of that into a great way to break into the industry.- Chris MorrisonStudent • Full Stack Web and Mobile Application Development • OnlineMar 20, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Full Stack Review
I was wanting a career change, and after looking at many bootcamp's, I found Nucamp. After taking one week, it was def the right decision. Not only is it affordable and doesn't require a credit score to attend, but the instructor and classmates were wonderful to be around. - BennyStudent • Full Stack Web and Mobile Application Development • OnlineMar 20, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

I decided to go with Nucamp because it teaches a popular stack at a good price compared to other bootcamps. I've just completed the Bootstrap course, and so far, I'm enjoying the journey. I thought DJ was very knowledgable, experienced, and has given me a clearer idea of what the expectations are for landing a job.
With that said, I'm not really clear on what type of support I'll receive upon graduation, and how skilled I'll be. This uncertainty is quite stressful!

Great Bootcamp
I was hesitant to enroll at first because their price is so low compared to other boot camps, but I decided to go with Nucamp and I have zero regrets. I started off learning the fundamentals (HTML/CSS/JS) through another service and then enrolled in Nucamp's Full-Stack Web & Mobile program.

My instructor Andre was very helpful and insightful from the very first day of class and always reached out to help me & my cohort along the way. Office Hours are fantastic, the 1 on 1 Zoom calls during the week are a life saver. The concepts that I had trouble with during fundamentals came second nature after the first month of Nucamp. I'm very happy with my decision to learn with them instead of spending a year's rent on another bootcamp. If you're like me and are hesitant to commit, go for it!

Front End bootcamp
I signed up because I want to become a web developer, and the reason I chose Neucamp was the recommendation I received from a relative of mine who had registered with them and yes it was right decision. - ThomasStudent • Back End, SQL, and DevOps with Python • OnlineMar 19, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
It's okay
it was affordable but not the right decision I don't feel job ready the python developer fundamentals were well done but SQL class just felt like a lot of copy and paste. - Kelvin S.StudentMar 16, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Nucamp: The one to beat!
I was looking for a coding bootcamp that would provide me the best "bang" for my buck. After spending several hours comparing other bootcamps I decided on Nucamp. So far, I believe I have made the right decision . The courses are well paced, yet intense. Their instructors are always willing to help outside of workshops and offer valuable industry experience and knowledge. Do your research and you'll see why many people are moving over to Nucamp! - Emily WilsonMar 13, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great Bootcamp for Python Studies!
I chose Nucamp because it was the AFFORDABLE option for learning Python coding. They course materials have been very easy to follow and understand. Nucamp's staff are very knowledgeable and helpful with your products. My teacher was very engaged with all of us and had a WONDERFUL personality. This bootcamp is afforable and the content is GREAT. I highly recommend this course for beginners. Carl you rock!! - BrendaWainaina • Applicant • SeattleMar 12, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Great Bootcamp
Nucamp is a life saver. I have been trying to get tech courses that are immersive and fun and very affordable. I like learning new things and sometimes the discipline to keep at it lacks. Nucamp offers a womderful structure with timelines to finish challenges. The instructors are also very knowledgeable and patient. I would 10/10 recommend starting a course at NuCamp - Benoit LegrandEngineer • Student • Back End, SQL, and DevOps with Python • TacomaMar 12, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
BackEnd DevOps
Learning algorithm optimisation, backend development and DevOps seems to be a right path in my career development.
Hope to be job-ready soon !
Best of luck to all ! - Stephen Edward KeenMar 09, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Backend Development with Python
I enrolled in nucamp after teaching myself python, and was looking for a certificate to help me get noticed on job applications. Whay I got was much more. I ended up definitely learning some new things with python, but the SQL and devops courses really taught me much more than I was anticpating about bringing everything together.
Although I do wish they would focus on learning one cloud product, I think this is an excellent introduction into software engineering with python. - RobertGraduate • Back End, SQL, and DevOps with Python • Hybrid (Online & In-person)Mar 07, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Backend Bootcamp
I enrolled with Nucamp with the intent to build up skills in areas where I believe I was lacking and simply from work did not touch these areas. Like many people I tried to learn on my own but didn’t make much success on learning something as indepth as full stack Python, often getting confused with how django worked with databases and other questions.

Like many people I tried to learn on my own but didn’t make much success on learning something as indepth as full stack Python, often getting confused with how django worked with databases and other questions. After looking at various online learning that just offered video lessons, I wanted to try Nucamp since they offered a live workshop and the pricing was reasonable and being part time worked great with my life balance. Since I was more interested in building a complete site, I chose the Backend, Python and SQL development track.
The backend Python and SQL developement is a great mix skills and was much of the skills that I have seen in recent interviews. Concepts learned here was developing your own linked list within the Python class, SQL went over migrations and database planning, the Devops class focused on the three major cloud vendors plus working with Kubernetes. I would say that all of the subjects covered was an extremely efficient time spent and given that this is a boot camp class, you get a good general starting knowledge of the topics. It’s enough to know how to use the skills but you would need to dive in deeper to expand on the topics. This might sound like a negative but given the depth of some topics, it’s far too complex to explain everything in just a few weeks.
With Nucamp the direction is you have a part time bootcamp theme where you are assigned tasks that are supplemented with videos and connection to your instructor over a Saturday workshop (with covid, done over Zoom). Each weekly lesson will cover a topic and then the workshop will have the instructor go over each topic of the week, then follow into a workshop assignment. The workshop assignment builds upon the weekly assignments, typically having you go over the skills you learned but with limited information (commands are more general, you look up the details) or they ask for extra functions to be added (append to the application a new feature). Overally the experience during the workshops was the main reason why I attended Nucamp, having that live instructor in the class helping you with issues and asking general questions about the topic is well valued over any video series learning. I would also say that my instructors and the student staff greatly helped with keeping me motovated and finally finishing the boot camp. This alone is a great value for the price of the camp.
There are some points I do like to make notice of. This is a boot camp and with many boot camps, it does require you to do learnign outside of the class in order to get the most from the lessons. You will walk away with a general concept of the topics but not an expert level knowledge, that takes much more time and experience. It’s a great kickstarter for anyone wanting to change careers or add to their current skillset, and now that you have the knowledge to get started, moving along to other concepts or ideas will come much easier. Overall I highly recommend this camp for people looking to change careers, those who have limited time working full time, or those who just need some help to get started with their own skill building.
