My Bootcamp Experience
I took the Boot camp to help with work responsibilities and I learned a lot from it. I would diffidently recommend it to others and I really enjoyed working with my instructor Kevin. I learned a lot and it is just the start to my coding Journey. I look forward to what comes next. -

Affordable, 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. -

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. -

Nucamp - Full Stack course
Read more Read less of Alejandra Parra's review
I wanted to change career paths and jump into tech but wasn't sure the best way to go about it. I know I wanted to do a bootcamp but didn't want to break the bank so I chose Nucamp because they were affordable but still offered a great learning structure. 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. -

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 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. -

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. -

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. -

Nucamp: A Game-Changer in My Career Transition Journey
Read more Read less of Hunter Mooney's review
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.
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! -

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 -

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. -

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 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. -

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 Hatfield
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! -

Curtis Gempler
Organised and Presented well.
The Bootstrap course is very well organized and made learning easy. My instructor was very personable, knowledageable and willing to explore concepts beyond the course material to aid in understanding. Overall I would recommend this course to those just starting out in the tech industry. -
Justin Lopez
Easy learning for those that are new to coding!
I wanted a change in my career path. I was a little skeptical considering I knew very little about coding but the instructor, Victor made it fun to learn new things! I hope that I can land a job within the Web Developing industry after completing the Full Stack Program! -

Nucamp was the right choice!
Read more Read less of Joy Burke's review
I'm 42 and switching careers. Tech has always appealed to me and so I decided to take the plunge. I'd never heard of Nucamp but I'd been researching for weeks - it had great reviews and was affordable. Take it or leave it: it was a great course with fantastic instructors. You need to be disciplined as it's online but as with anything, you get what you put into it. Some material is tough and requires extra effort, but there is no lack of support! I felt more community and support here than I did when I was at university, in person. It was the right decision, the right school. If you're hesitant, go for it! -
Shawn Parrish
Nucamp Web Development Fundamentals
Interaction with the Nucamp instructors, and the ability to collaborate on the Nucamp discord server is what makes the Nucamp boot camp worth it. It is fast paced, so I would recommend doing some self paced online tutorials before delving in. I heard Nucamp is updating the content for its newer bootcamp intro class. For the price, I totally recommend this class. -

Great experience learning fundamental HTML, CSS & JavaScript with Nucamp
Read more Read less of Saheed Steven Adekunle's review
After conducting few findings about the Bootcamp I found some of the reviews on Course Report really interesting. What made me chose Numcap finally is the tuition fees. I could study fundamental level and full stack web development for just 30% of what most Bootcamps around are offering despite most of them are offering the same teaching model.
This is no brainer for me after speaking with few Bootcamps. I have just completed my fundamental level of html, CSS, & JavaScript and I have immediately enrolled for the full stack web development because I'm more than convince that Numcamp has what it takes to help me achieve more goal of becoming a software engineer. At least I will not be in debt after completing this course because of the minmal amount I paid for the tuition. This is one of the reasons I'm so excited to go through the course. -

Nucamp Review
I enrolled in Nucamp because it was an affordable way to dip my toes in the waters of web developement witout getting myself in a financially hurtful situation. Nucamp's course content for the Fundamentals course and the care and attention of it's instructor Kevin exceeded my expectations. I am moving forward now with the Full-Stack course and I am excited to see what else Nucamp holds for me! -

I'm from the Bay Area and had recently been laid off and wanted to level up my skillset and got a recommendation for Nucamp from a relative. Checked it out and decided to enroll in the Python Fundamentals course. Only recently completed the first section but so far it's been great! The instructor was really proactive and easy to schedule time with if you needed any extra tutoring or assistance. The website and initial instructions for setup before your course starts was straight-forward and easy to follow. The instructor-led workshops were interactive and participation is highly encouraged. Pricing was acceptable so that's why I choose to enroll. -

Nucamp web development

I ultimately chose to enroll in Nucamp due to the affordability of it. I’ve signed up for the complete Software Engineering Bootcamp path, so it’s hard to give it a thorough sense of "was this the right decision," but it seems good so far.
I didn’t understand that Nucamp is part time learning. It did take time to go through the video lessons and code challenges, but the workshops meet only once a week. For me it feels like there’s a lot of "waiting for more." Had I realized, I probably would have opted for something faster, as I currently have the time and energy to focus on learning. Having made the choice, I’m going to see where this goes.
The instructor for my class was experienced in the field, and was, in my opinion, an effective and patient teacher. I know I would take a class with him again if given the opportunity.
The WebDev course, which I finished, followed a very logical order, starting with the introduction of HTML and Visual Studio Code. After that, CSS, and then an introduction to JavaScript. I came to the course with some knowledge of JavaScript already, which made it more about "finding the challenge" rather than the curriculum itself being the challenge. It also helped me find my big gap in JavaScript (DOM manipulation).
After the course, I feel distinctly more confident in my trajectory and ability with regard to changing careers.

I took the Web Fundamental course. I was satisfied instructor and courses. they really take care of students. I applied front-end. It will start on April 15th. I really like to continue Nucamp. I would like to share some of Nucamp's benefits.
Nucamp is worth it for anyone who wants to change their career. Nucamp boot camp school offers affordable education with talented instructors and a great support community. Students can really learn to code at Nucamp at all experience levels, and you don’t need previous programming experience.

HTML, CSS, and JavaScript at NuCamp
Read more Read less of Josh Draher's review
I enrolled in the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript course at NuCamp because I wanted more accountability and interaction than I was getting from the DIY approach. I had some experience in all 3 languages but found that the course both cemented the concepts I had learned previously and boosted my confidence in further learning. My instructor was excellent and the coursework and additional resources provided made the course well worth the money. -
George LaJoie
Amazing

I started a free bootcamp through a community center in my hometown many years ago, but was unable to continue do to the scheduling conflict. I loved it while I was able to attend, and it was always in the back of my mind to go back to coding.
While researching bootcamps, I came across NuCamp. Compared to the other programs that I looked at, it was the most affordable, the most flexible in terms of schedule, and equally as rigorous. All three courses combined cost less than most, if not all of the other programs that I saw out there.
My current job has generous PD which has allowed me to take the Web Fundamentals course. I'll take the BackEnd course next, then the FullStack after that.
I often feel overwhelmed and that I'm not smart enough for this, but then I get my code to work and it's really the best feeling. That sense of accomplishment after struggling for so long to get something to work. Almost makes you want to cry.
My longterm goal is to use coding with art, music, and social justice-based projects. It won't be easy, but it will certainly be worth it. -

Awesome Experience!

I have been thinking about changing careers for a while now. I didn't want to go back to school and take a bunch of unnecessary classes that had nothing to do with my major. I just wanted to learn how to code and focus primarily on that. Nucamp gave me exactly what I needed and provided the flexibility to do it on my own time. I work full time and couldn't possibly dedicate 24 hours a day to classes. My first course was well organized and the content was well explained for beginner like myself. It's made me realize that I made the right choice and motivated me to continue on my learning journey. Ten out of Ten...would recommend. -

NuCamp is a great combination of providing the basics and ongoing resources to continue learning. The live session options have been great to work out problems and better understand concepts. Plus the ability to do the learning in the way the courses are chunked out has been better for my schedule, allowing me to continue independant learning, and sign-up for next course when it fits my schedule. -
Evan Jeffries
NuCamp Review
I researched many bootcamps. Then proceeded to search the best coding bootcamps. Nucamp was 1 of 2. Of the two Nucamp provided a schedule that fit with my life, better price, and options to what program I wanted to take. It is an intense program but it's definitely worth it. Not to mention the instructors are very helpful! -

Project-based, structured, easy-to-follow Bootstrap Course.
So far I have completed the Bootstrap course of the NuCamp Full-Stack Development Bootcamp. I have gained a good understanding of how to use this technology to design and build low-complex web interfaces. My instructor proved to be very knowledgeable and was often keen to walk us through the content in the best possible way, especially when someone was lagging behind. I recommend this course. -

For about 6-8 months I played around with the idea of learning to code. I wanted to make a career switch and really believed Web Development was something I could be passionate about. Unfortunately, I continuously fell into "tutorial hell" and was getting nowhere. I knew I couldn't afford most bootcamps but luckily I stumbled across a review of NuCamp on YouTube. The gained experience from the students along with the affordable cost led me to fully commit. I am so happy I found NuCamp and will continue to hone my skills as a developer for years to come. -

I was looking for a career change and considered Web Development because I've always had a fascination with computers. I've always talked myself out of it, but now that I'm turning 50 and my son is an adult I figured why not. This is when I decided to research online learning where it's interactive and voila I found Nucamp. It's been the best decision for me. Everyone is extremely helpful and available when you have those moments that you just need some help. -
Candice Zakariya
Better Than Expected!
Nucamp was created just for students like me — those who enjoy working at their own pace, getting feedback from a knowledgeable instructor, and working on projects that have real-world value! I would definitely recommend Nucamp to others. In fact, I think I want to do another track when I am finished with this Front-End/React course. -

I've been looking into the software engineering career path for a couple years. A friend helped me find Nucamp as it suited all my scheduling needs and is affordable. Nucamp provides an onilne learning platform that can work around other responsibilities. They also offer other resources for research and a class instructor. I have enjoyed my Nucamp courses and I'm greatly looking forward to beginning my career path in tech after graduated. -

10/10 I'd recommend
This is the first course of the third bootcamp I've taken at Nucamp! and I really appreciate the curriculum and instructors thus far. It's challenging but not overwhelming. I've had a great experience and don't regret my choice to attend Nucamp. I would say it gets a 10/10 for value. -

Good Content
I am happy with my decision to take Nucamp Bootcamp. The instructor was very market-oriented, he provided us with a good review of the week's contents and also gave us good advice on how to prepare ourselves to be software developers. Overall, I liked the content, I just missed more real-life examples. -

Best decision I made!
Read more Read less of Judy Kong's review
I enrolled in Nucamp because of how affordable it was. It took me a while to realize that I had made the right decision because it showed me how much I care about being a developer. With these skills, I plan to bring awareness to mental health. Nucamp helps you learn the necessary skills you need to know to become a developer, but you will need to do a lot of research outside of the course. I realized that the only way to understand it is to keep practicing. The more you code, the more it becomes easier to understand.
