Joining NuCamp community is a great way to learn and upskill. I was able to learn and apply the skills from their python fundamentals into the projects that I currently have at my current employment. The instructor I had for my fundamentals class (python) encourages learning and growth instead of just "checking" a box that needs to get done.- AnonymousSystems Administrator • Student • Web Development Fundamentals • OnlineOct 25, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Worth Every Penny
I have now completed the Web Fundamentals course. I am looking for a career change and that is what led me to NuCamp. I would say that this was a great experience.

Great bootcamp
Research led me to Nucamp, and reviews on bootcamp websites. After my bootcamp experience I hope to get a career as a developer/engineer. Possibility build something that could help others. So far I am satisfied with the choice I made! - AnonymousStudent • Back End, SQL, and DevOps with Python • OnlineSep 23, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Nucamp - the best for begginers
I like Nucamp bootcamp. I just finished Python fundamental. The information for self study is clear and easy for begginer understanding.

Completed training, Structured process, Thorough knowledge.
I just finished! And that is easier said than done. Nucamp was way to learn coding for me. I researched many alternatives. I first considered very low-cost methods like buying books, reading websites, watching YouTube videos, or attending low-cost International courses with instructors who had hard-to-understand accents. I also, considered in-person bootcamps but they were all very expensive, plus they required you to quit your day job to study full-time for several months which increase...I just finished!

I was happily surprised to discover this highly rated online program called nucamp that provided the coding knowledge with a structured timetable to start and complete the material. I could maintain my day job and study during my free hours. I could ask questions when I needed extra help and I could attend an in-person instruction class weekly via Zoom. The instruction was spoken with clear easy to easy-to-understand neutrally accented English, super refreshing.

NuCamp
I find this bootcamp very helpful, The only thing I guess that I would change for myself, was the lack of knowledge I had prior. This bootcamp does do a very good job breaking things down, but it is is very fast paced and hard to retain everything at once. The cool thing about it though, is that your can access this information again at any time if you need to brush up on your java script. - AnonymousStudent • Hybrid (Online & In-person)Jul 13, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I have attended the python fundamentals course and i would like to say it has exceed my expectations.
Start with the things i really enjoy:- Very structural curriculum for each week and enough material for students to study between each workshop.
- Very well designed workshop challenge, its always helpful to code together with a senior programmer and improve yourself.
- The instructor is very seasoned and patient, very good at explaining things and lead us to solve complex problem. And the code review is very detailed and professional.
- I know this is the very first part of the whole bootcamp, however i feel like it is missing some practical element in the curriculum, i would really be interested in how in the real world a project looks like and how programmers are working together. And some insights on how to further develop your python skill for tech interview is always helpful.
- Some of the self study content can be quite difficult and the additional material doesn't seem 100% fit to that specific session.
- Maybe some more hands on code challenges will be useful. So we got to exercise every part of the knowledge we just learned.

Pretty Bad
This was not a good bootcamp. I was in the very first cohort for their "Back End, SQL, and DevOps Developer with Python" BootCamp. It was so bad that they actually emailed us and said that we can retake it at no cost and that they will refund us partially.Stephanie of Nucamp

We're a bit confused here with this review. The very first cohort of the Back End SQL and DevOps bootcamp was about 2 years ago starting over the summer of 2021... was your review in draft mode for the past 2 years? :)
We also don't recall needing to issue refunds or offer retakes to students. - AnonymousStudent • DetroitJun 12, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
It is fast moving
The bootcamp is moves along very fast, you consume a lot of information in a short time. You really need time to be able to research and spend time with the lessons you've learned. I took the bootcamp route because it was quicker than college. I chose Nucamp, because it was affordable, also it was recommended online for my region.

I chose Nucamp, because it was affordable, also it was recommended online for my region. My work schedule is strenuous, so this teaching style can be very difficult. You go through so many subjects at such a fast pace, and in my opinion, not in depth enough. That's why there has to be enough time to really spend time going back over the lessons, plus researching outside resources to help you understand the course material. - AnonymousSoftware QA Engineer • Graduate • AustinMay 31, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
What a journey but I made it!
I have been a Software QA Engineer for a couple of years now (responsible for quality and application testing); but coding, creating stuff from scratch, simply making it work has been fascinating me for quite some time. Besides, developers get a lot of credit for the work they do. ( QA often gets overlooked).

Besides, developers get a lot of credit for the work they do. ( QA often gets overlooked).
I was looking to learn something new and have been learning JS and FE on my own for a couple of months at that point. My current company offers a yearly stipend for self-development, which was just enough to pay for the FE course (or pretty much any course in NuCamp).
My goal is become a developer, move up, gain experience, learn BE and make a load of money and gain even more respect for doing such a challenging job. In addition, I love challenge and problem solving.
There is job assistance, I just haven't used / explored enough of it yet, so I haven't rater it but it seems solid. Like for this kind of money this is great to have all the options they mention and offer in the end. - AnonymousRestaurant Manager • Student • AthensMay 30, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

nucamp review
The main reasons I picked Nucamp over the rest was price, class dates availability and a review on youtube by Don the Developer. I took the Html, Css, Javascript class and I loved it because you had to teach yourself during the week and on the workshop day we would review with the instructor anything we didn't understand. I believe this way of learning is good because it resembles what will happen in real life, you have to try to find information on your own and know when to ask for ...The main reasons I picked Nucamp over the rest was price, class dates availability and a review on youtube by Don the Developer.

I believe this way of learning is good because it resembles what will happen in real life, you have to try to find information on your own and know when to ask for help. I plan on taking front end bootcamp and backend next. After I finish the bootcamps I would like to work for start ups or contract work.
