Best experience of my life !
Joining LeWagon has been one of the best choices I've made in my life. I have absolutely no regrets and would definitely recommend doing it aswell if you're looking for a bootcamp Tech course.
The training is hard, really intense, but it's worth it. Loved the teachers, loved the community, and all the people that helped me go through the course.
I worked on two group projects in the end, and I presented one during the DemoDay. It was a great experience. Go for it, 100%. - AnonymousGraduateMay 30, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing learning experience
Started with zero knowledge and progressed to building a full app from scratch. Very steep learning curve and very intense but so worth it in the end. It requires a lot of patience and hard work, it is definitely not easy ride. A lot of practical knowledge, a lot of real life coding, working in teams in the end. I wish i did it in person as can be a bit isolating but remote is convenient as well so depends what you are after. The help from TAs was incredible every step of the way.

Very happy I went with Nucamp
Nucamp has been instrumental to the introduction of coding for me. I have learned so much in such little time. These last 4 weeks gave me the foundation and confidence I need to take the next course in Front End Development. - AnonymousGraduateApr 05, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing experience
Great professional experience at the Wagon, where I discovered and learned about the world of fullstack development.
I spent 6 months training part-time and remotely. The pace was intense but rewarding. I met a great teaching team and students from all walks of life. - AnonymousStudent • HelsinkiMar 02, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

NuCamp Coding Bootcamp Review: A Launchpad for Aspiring Developers
NuCamp offers a variety of coding bootcamps designed to equip individuals with the skills needed to launch careers in web development. Here's a comprehensive review based on various sources and considerations:
Strengths:
- Affordability: NuCamp stands out for its comparatively lower cost compared to many other coding bootcamps.
- Flexible options: They offer a range of bootcamp lengths and formats, including full-time, part-time, and online options, catering to diverse schedules and needs.
- Project-based learning: The curriculum emphasizes hands-on learning through real-world project development, preparing students for practical work scenarios.
- Supportive community: NuCamp fosters a sense of community through online forums and alumni networks, offering ongoing support and networking opportunities.
Points to ponder:
- Intensity: The bootcamps, particularly full-time programs, are known for being intensive, requiring a significant time commitment and dedication from students.
- Depth of curriculum: While covering core web development concepts, some reviews suggest the curriculum might not be as in-depth as certain competitors, especially regarding advanced topics.
- Career support: While career services are offered, the extent and effectiveness of job placement assistance might vary based on individual experiences and market competitiveness.
Overall:
NuCamp is a viable option for individuals seeking an affordable and immersive way to enter the world of web development. The flexible format options and project-based learning are valuable assets, but potential students should be prepared for the intensive nature of the programs. It's crucial to carefully research the specific curriculum, career support services, and student outcomes before enrolling to ensure NuCamp aligns with your individual goals and learning style.
Recommendation:
NuCamp can be a good fit for highly motivated individuals who are comfortable with a fast-paced learning environment and prioritize cost-effectiveness. However, those seeking a more in-depth curriculum or extensive career support might want to explore other bootcamp options.

Learned a lot
I really enjoyed the Bootcamp and did learn a lot. The Coaches Are always happy to help and it is a very good experience. The best thing for me was to get to know, How much my Brain can actually learn. All in all I would recommend the Bootcamp, but know you have to be derermined. - AnonymousStudent • Full Stack Web Development • HelsinkiJul 10, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Web Development
A bootcamp with great information at a affordable price. If you're thinking of a bootcamp, I'd suggest Nucamp. Make sure you dedicate time to study and complete code challenges. If you do not commit the time, the information is harder to understand because it is fast paced. This is especially true for the Javascript weeks. - AnonymousStudentApr 23, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Because of this, I need something that gives me both flexibility in schedule while maintaining financial security. I have always enjoyed doing macros and querys and things in excel and always wanted to be able to write programs outside of excel which would make my life easier, so after determining that software or web development would meet the needs of my family, I agreed it could be fun. I started with the basics, and I would have to say YES! It was the right decision! I have thoroughly enjoyed learning the beginner concepts. I am moving forward with the Full Stack program and hope to find a position that fulfills my creativity while meeting my needs - it would be a dream come true if I could successfully do full time contract software engineering or web development. - AnonymousStudentApr 22, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Great oppurtunity, Great school
It is a top quality course.Although it was my first online bootcamp in another language,I'm truly enjoying it. The manager and instructor are really cooperative. The instructor is a competent, skilled and friendly person with a remarkable experience of teaching.
