Fantastic Bootcamp!!

NuCamp's Fundamental course was a great way for me to get started as a developer. I have had personal experiences that have drawn me into this career this past year and that's when I developed a desire for web development. NuCamp was all over social media and I was looking into schools and how I could start this new chapter of my life. The fundamentals course is tough if you're not experienced but worth the adventure! Thank you NuCamp! -

Web dev fundamentals
Great course, very easy to understand, and the instructor was thorough and engaging. I only took the intro course, but will definitely come back for one of the more in-depth bootcamps in the future. -

Web Fundamentals
What led me to enroll in Nucamp was the ratings received from people who have been enrolled in Nucamp and the affordability Nucamp provides. -

I took a the HTML/CSS/JavaScript fundamentals course. It was a low financial investment with a high level of return. I learned a lot that I imagine will help me during the fullstack bootcamp. -

I wanted to take a big leap into the tech field and I heard the best things coming from NuCamp. All the reviews were very positive when it came to how NuCamp taught, it's prices, flexible schedule for those that work, and online support. I would highly recommend this bootcamp(s) for anyone that wants to get started on coding. The support is there for us! It's about whether we want it or not. I've learned so much from the start and plan on continuing to take the course NuCamp offers. :) -

Web Dev Fundamentals
I always wanted to learn to program but could never figure out where to start. This class solved that problem. It allowed me not to worry and just focus on learning. It was fast-paced but the instructor was very good and helped a lot. The community is extremely helpful as well. -

Web Development Fundamentals
I have wanted to get into web development for some time and did a lot of researching. When I was finally able to devote the time needed. I decided to give NuCamp a chance, and I am so happy I did. So much, so I am also taking their backend course followed by their full stack. -

Html, CSS, Javascript Fundamentals
A very good opportunity to learn the basics of becoming a web developer and working with your peers and teacher to understand the material. The course was very affordable and informative. They give tons of extra resources to investigate on your own and you will like hold onto for reference throughout your new career. -

What led me to Nucamp was the presentation of their menu, theirr colors and font appealed to my interrests. As well as the salary potential, that cooding language can offer. Nucamp caught my interest at a good time, for I was already looking for some coding languages to learn, to switch careers.
Nucamp was the right decision. I feel good in investing in myself and being in a setting where I must study to get my money's worth. Education is key, the more we learn, the more opporrtunities appear and from where I would like to go, IT is the road. Thanks Nucamp -

I have been looking into Bootcamps for almost two years, and came across this one. So far, I love the way it is set-up, it is self-sufficient, easy to use and so grateful for the very helpful instructors. -

Perfect Fit for this Working Mom
So far I have loved my experience with NuCamp. I have learned a lot in a short period of time. What has mattered the most to me is the flexible nature of the program. I am able to study on my own time. That matters because I am a working mom, no two days in my household look the same. I study from my laptop, and my phone and am never out of reach of my program. -

After a year of dabbling in Python, Ruby and Java I decided to get serious about learning to code. I spent roughly 3 months looking for online bootcamps and Nucamp was the the most focused and affordable. I enrolled in the "Backend, SQL and DevOps with Python bootcamp and recently completed the Python Fundamentals course ... I really feel like I'm pointed in the right direction in my quest to become a Backend Engineer !

Full stack web development course: bootstrap
I enrolled in Nucamp because I was stuggling to develop a portfolio and wanted to learn with and teach other students. With Nucamp, I have deployed a site and learned a lot despite having taken numerous college classes. It was the right choice becuase I find the resources and people help me stay motivated and solidify my foundation in programming. -

Python
This was truly a valuable experience for me . Even though I was not a total beginner when joining this fundamentals bootcamp coming from a different language , I never used to pay attention on certain important concepts in software development . Huge thanks to my dedicated instructor and all my teammates. Cant wait to get started with the next course -

I just became a permanent resident of this wonderful country - the USA. I want to be a worthy citizen and to have a good interesting job that improves of life of other people in this amazing country. I didn't have the opportunity to get paid quality education....so I chose this Boot camp - NuCamp. I am very pleased with the educational process and the atmosphere that reigns on Boot Camp! Thanks to all --> those who made this process possible! -

The attainability of the price point and a strong desire to learn Python led me here. I believe that it is a decent fit so far. I guess I was thinking a bit too much of what I'd be able to take away and apply towards expanding my IT marketability. However, I am clear-eyed now and still appreciate the opportunity this program has afforded me to learn something that I've put off for years. -

Nucamp has a flexible schedule other then Saturday workshops you can study anytime during the week which works with my rotating shifts. -

Nucamp was perfect it was beginner friendly and more flexible my instructor was polite and explained everything well and in detail I would recommend for anyone looking into coding especially considering the price -

5 Stars
It was absolutely the right decision signing up for Nucamp. My instructor was super informative, and she never made me feel left behind when I didn't understand something. The entire experience was great, especially interacting with other students and having a flexible weekly timeline. 10/10 recommend. -

First time reviewr for Nucamp
I wanted a new career path. One that was more stable and would provide a higher level of finiancial freedom. I also did not have the time and money to attend an in-person full time camp. This was perfect because it was very affordable and it fits in with my schedule. -

Introductory course convinced me
Read more Read less of Martin R.'s review
I took the introductory four-week HTML/CSS/JavaScript course. HTML/CSS were refreshers and an update of some of how they've changed in the last ten years since I played with them. JavaScript was a whole new bag for me and as an introduction, this was fun and informative. I let my curiosity drag me down a lot of "bunny trails" during the week as I embellished upon the exercises and challenges. I think that looking things up that we hadn't covered yet helped me a lot. Sometimes what I was curious about was covered in the next lesson, sometimes I was just learning more advanced stuff because I wanted to do something in my coding that was outside the scope of the classes.
Be curious and you'll do great at Nucamp. You have to learn. They can't teach you. I think some people expected to have Nucamp just somehow implant the information into their brains. That's just not possible. You have to be interested enough to search for answers and if you can't find an answer, ask your instructor.
In the Big Wide World, you'll never know everything. Get used to that now! You will routinely have to look up a function name, or a method, or which attributes can go on which elements. Things change and lesser-used features will just not stick. Learn how now, and learn to search for and find the answer as quickly and efficiently as you can.
Nucamp is less expensive and less intensive than other boot camps, which makes them more approachable to people looking to change careers or upgrade their skills.
The four-week introductory course is a great taste test to see if Nucamp's style will meet your learning need. It sure met mine! I will be taking future courses at Nucamp! -

Great Bootcamp!

I decided to enroll in the Nucamp Full Stack bootcamp because they promised part-time hours, a relevant course load, a quick path to graduation and an affordable price. I've been self-employed for many years, and I was ready to transition into a career where I could work fewer hours but still make great money. I chose programming because I've always dabbled in web design, but always with sites like Wix, and I thought it would be a natural next step to learn how to actually build beautiful, user-friendly UIs. Nucamp has definitely taught me how to do that and more.
I am a very self-motivated person, so Nucamp was a great fit for me because most of the learning in this course is self-driven, using guidance and resources from Nucamp. I liked that I was able to fit it in around my schedule, and I didn't have to commit many specific hours per week to the class (that said, I would have liked maybe one more class mid-week to really help me get through the material). Most weeks, I worked somewhere between part- and full-time hours, but I chose to dive deep into the coursework, which demanded the extra time. I appreciated the requirement of portfolio projects for this course, because I felt like the material really seemed to come together for me when I was coding those projects, and I have graduated with a portfolio ready to show to potential employers.
I liked each instructor that I had. They were all very skilled in their fields as well as personable and extremely helpful. You will become a member of the Nucamp Slack group, in which you can ask any question and receive gracious help from the many instructors and students in the bootcamp (and offer help when you can as well!).
I have just started the career counseling part of the bootcamp, and so far, it is really a big help. Nucamp really is committed to helping their students succeed, and having the career counseling is one more way that that comes through.
I definitely recommend Nucamp if you are ready to commit to programming, and are a self-motivated learner. It's a whirlwind, but truly amazing how much one can learn in a short amount of time! -

Second Bootcamp in and still learning
Great experience, with the cost allowing you to learn a new skillset while not hurting your bottom line. The cost of multiple bootcamps is still less than some other schools. I'm on my second one and am loving it! -

I have completed part 1 of 4 in the FullStack Course and I have not been disappointed. Nucamp was the right fit for my budget and their scholarship offerings were also a big help. Now, I have learned that the Nucamp community also provides a framework to build upon my previous studies in order to take me to the next level of my journey towards becoming a web developer. Come prepared to put in the work and Nucamp can do the same for you.

Worth the Time and Effort!

After years of wanting a career change and being unable to find affordable and flexible education options, I found NuCamp! The curriculum is pretty well paced overall, but you really get more out of it by putting in the extra effort to review the supplemental materials as well. The community aspect was great! After attempting to go the self-taught route, it was refreshing to interact with other students and it helped me feel not so alone in the learning process. All of my instructors we very knowledgeable and patient when reviewing concepts with the students. Then entire 5 months passed much faster than I expected and it was definitely worth the time and financial investment. -

Great Boot Camp For The Price!
The price was very reasonable and the courses are laid out so we know what is expected. They give us plenty of resources and allow us to apply what we have learned.
I would definitely recommend this bootcamp to a friend! -

Nucamp experience!
Read more Read less of Erick Garcia's review
Choosing a Bootcamp can be a bit overwhelming but it comes down to your needs and availability. Choosing Nucamp was not my first option or my last option. But I just finish the bootstrap course it only took 5 weeks. And in those five weeks, we learn how to properly use bootstrap and all the features that come with the library. I can definitely see how learning how to use the bootstrap library as one of your tools as a developer can make things much easier to develop and maintain a clean-looking website. I can't wait to continue with the rest of the course and complete my front-end development and see what other development tools ill learn about. And the reason I chose to go with Nucamp's Front-end Development course was the ability to work on the lessons throughout the week at my own pace and be able to do deep research on each lesson. Also having the ability to ask questions to a big community of current and past students of Nucamp on their slack channel. And if you're currently working you won't have to struggle with juggling your work schedule and your class schedule. Because you only have one live class every Saturday. So it gives you plenty of time during the week to work on your assignments during your free time. -

I've been through a lot of different online courses, including Thinkful. I was so excited to start Nucamp because of the affordability and the syllabus looked like something that could actually be accomplished and not a bunch of coursework without the extra resources and any help, if necessary. You really do have to stay motivated throughout and keep yourself on topic.
I really loved going through the bootstrap course! It was a new thing for me - since I've never attempted Bootstrap on my own. The course was affordable and I felt that since the classes were smaller, it was geared more towards each student's progress. The instructor, Olivia, was amazing as well. I definitely enjoyed the past 5 weeks going through it.
I can't wait to start React in a couple of weeks. -

Boost of confidence that I needed
Read more Read less of LK's review
As someone who has both a learning disability and struggles with ADHD, this was the first time I successfully finished a course. I genuinely believe that if someone like me can learn anyone can learn. I never thought I'd ever be able to learn how to code because I struggled for years trying to stay motivated. Albeit, I am still working my way through the Back End, SQL, and DevOps program, the feeling of overcoming the fundamental hump feels good. NuCamp's structured classes, supportive community, and instructors helped motivate me to stay on track with the course and not give up. Lessons are broken down into chunks so it's easier to understand and digest. If you run into issues, classmates and instructors will jump in to assist and provide guidance. I specifically picked this program because it was budget friendly and it offered the structure that I needed to be successful. Something people have to realize when they sign up for coding bootcamps in general is there are no shortcuts or magic bullet for learning. You have to have realistic expectations going in so you don't set yourself up for failure. You learn through practice and having a supportive community helps. Ultimately, your success lies heavily on your own efforts and motivation. When taking the course there is an expectation that majority of your time will be self-study and lots of practice using multiple resources both in-house and out. I truly believe this NuCamp's bootcamp gave me a boost of confidence that I needed to work towards my career goals and projects. I am ecstatic about working on personal projects and can't wait to learn more. I highly recommend this program to those who want to learn coding, but lack the confidence or support. -

Great school, Great Environment
What led me to enroll in NuCamp was the opportunity to reskill myself and get a job that I desired. I believe this was a good decision since Nucamp is giving me an environment to push myself in and has taught me fundamentals that I would otherwise have overlooked in my self-learning. -

I am currently a teacher and my family needs to make more money. I have always wanted to learning coding, and taking this step has seriously turned up the fire! It is time for a serious career change to something that is enjoyable, productive and satisfying at the same time! Taking this bootcamp has definitely put me in the right direction. I am continuing to the full stack bootcamp next. -

Challenging Enough to Make You A Better Developer
Read more Read less of Steven Vallarsa's review
I had been looking at Nucamp for about a year before finally taking the plunge. I'm kicking myself for not jumping in sooner. It's affordable and with a part-time schedule allows it to be fitted in a busy life. The work gets progressively more difficult within each module, but the instructors are always available and there's a Slack community with fellow students who are always ready to help you over the humps. My only criticisms would be not having enough testing to make sure you really understand the material as you're going along, and the lack of accountability with your personal projects the way there is for the course material. -

Missing piece!
Read more Read less of Meghan K.'s review
I enrolled in Nucamp because I had not been successful with a self-learning route for web development. Nucamp's set-up (self-learning/studying during week and interactive group workshop Saturdays) was very appealing and worked with my schedule. Also, the cost was the most affordable I have seen of any bootcamp. Turns out, enrolling was a great decision! I completed the Web Development Fundamentals bootcamp (4 weeks) and am currently waiting for the Full Stack one to start in September :) I had never interacted with other coders and aspiring web devs before, and I think this was the key that was missing! I enjoyed that it was a part of the experience, but was not full-time in-person or live. My instructor was awesome, and I really enjoyed my small group. The Slack channels were also a great asset. Overall, highly recommend. You will def have work to put in and certainly more after, but you get exposed to a lot in such a way that I felt was manageable. -

I have been trying to leave construction work before it kills my body. I had dabbled in learning code, but once I had the structure of a class, learning came so much easier. -
