Web Development Fundamentals
NuCamp was the only bootcamp I could afford and could manage around being a full time employee. Other programs want 5 times as much for the same curriculum.

Excellent Experience. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested or just getting into coding. Overall wonderful learning environment and accountability for those, like me, that tend to start and then fall off later. Highly enjoyed and already enrolled in the Full Stack Bootcamp for the next part of my journey.- Oluwaseun ArogundadeGraduate • Web Development Fundamentals • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJul 25, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Good Quality, Debt-Free!
The price was just right! The basics of web development was demystified. The course materials and extra resourses were exhaustive. The user experience was superb.

Thanks Nucamp!

Nucamp is aN Excellent Option for Affordable Coding Instruction
I enrolled in Nucamp's Web Development Fundamentals course because I have been trying to teach myself how to code for years, but with no success. I finally decided that a bootcamp would take me to the next level, so I looked into some of the marquee names out there. The problem was that many of them were full-time and required me to stop working. That really wasn't an option for me. Plus, I didn't have tens of thousands of dollars to spend on a bootcamp, nor was an ISA right for my parti...I enrolled in Nucamp's Web Development Fundamentals course because I have been trying to teach myself how to code for years, but with no success. I finally decided that a bootcamp would take me to the next level, so I looked into some of the marquee names out there. The problem was that many of them were full-time and required me to stop working. That really wasn't an option for me. Plus, I didn't have tens of thousands of dollars to spend on a bootcamp, nor was an ISA right for my particular situation.
When I came upon Nucamp, I knew that they could work for me. I applied for and got financing, so I could start the Web Development Fundamentals course without paying anything at first. When it came to instruction, the instructors were competent and helpful. The Nucamp Slack channel is also full of former and current students and instructors who are always willing to help out when you have a coding issue. Even at 3am!
I would definitely recommend Nucamp to anyone who wants to learn web development without putting down tens of thousands of dollars to do so. As a result of my positive experience at Nucamp, I am going on to their Full Stack bootcamp. I am even considering doing their Back End bootcamp after that one. So as you can see, Nucamp worked for me. I think it can work for most people. Check out their online Open Houses. They hold them every week on their YouTube channel. There you can ask Ludo and Nucamp staff any questions you have. They are more than happy to answer them. - Dolly BergenHigh School Physics Teacher • Student • Web Development Fundamentals • RiversideVerified by LinkedInJul 24, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Web Fundamentals
Enrolling in Nucamp's Bootcamp is exactly what I needed to do to add to my skill set as a teacher. The Web Fundamentals course taught so much on coding that I have never learned before. I did have a learning curve but I welcomed the challenge as I have always been a problem solver. I took this course because I want to share my coding skills with my high school physics students. I hope that in learning how to code, I would be able to integrate it into my high school physics classroom....Enrolling in Nucamp's Bootcamp is exactly what I needed to do to add to my skill set as a teacher.

A good option, but not for everyone
A software bootcamp isn't for everyone, but Nucamp is among the best for a number of reasons.
1. It's affordable, and easy for working adults as long as you make sure you have the time to study and do the lessons.
2. The instructors are knowledgeable and helpful when you hit the inevitable roadblocks and frustrations. Many of the instructors were once students like yourself, so they've been there.

1. It's affordable, and easy for working adults as long as you make sure you have the time to study and do the lessons.
2. The instructors are knowledgeable and helpful when you hit the inevitable roadblocks and frustrations. Many of the instructors were once students like yourself, so they've been there.
3. Employers are frequently reaching out scouting for new graduates, and there are plenty of opportunities depending on where you live.
It is more structured than learning on your own, but less so than full time bootcamps which are also more expensive. You can think of this one as a sort of hybrid between the two. That means you need to be somewhat self-motivated and are able to remove any distractions that keep you from devoting the roughly 2-3 hours per day for study and project work. - David WilliamsStudent • PittsburghVerified by GitHubJul 07, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Bootstrap
Nucamp was very affordable. I was a self taught programmer but was tired of getting stuck and spending ungodly amounts of time on Google and stack overflow trying to figure it out myself. My experience with Nucamp has been fantastic so far! - RicardoStudent • Front End Web and Mobile Development • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJul 04, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Front End Web & Mobile Development
I enrolled in Nucamp because I want to start a career in web development. I chose Nucamp over other bootcamps because I find it affordable and it offers a flexible schedule. The curriculum is a good start, as long as you supplement it, you will do well. It's definitely a way to get a good foundation.
