When I asked about this, they claimed I didn't qualify for the early bird discount because I used the loan options. This is written nowhere in the website or enrollment agreement. No disclosure. I complained to the owner, and he said I was overcharged because the price increased in June. June? I enrolled in APRIL! I called him and his staff out on their lies and thievery, so they cancelled my enrollment. Either they did this because I'm black, or they do it to everyone. Either way, these people lack character and integrity. I'd advise everyone to stay away.Stephanie of Nucamp

Jun 14, 2022
The student registered in April for a series of 4 bootcamps, starting respectively on May 16th 2022, June 27th 2022, October 17th 2022, and April 17th 2023.
The tuition for the bootcamps starting in June 2022 and later had been increased, and the student loan amount reflected this increase.
The student violated our code of conduct while communicating with our staff. As a result and hoping to part ways on favorable terms we offered the student to complete the first bootcamp for free, and to refund all monies paid, which we did.- Halle HarrisWeb Development Fundamentals • OnlineJun 11, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Hello! I enrolled in Nucamp looking to start a career change, it was the right choice for me because it was cost effective and could work around my schedule. This first bootcamp really gave me a strong foundation to learn on. - DanJun 11, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Web Dev course
I just completed the Web Dev (html, css, javascript) course. It was awesome. The course had a good combination of modules online with videos and sample exercises, and then the live sessions were super valuable. If you are looking to get into programming this is an excellent place to start. The instructor was fantastic! - Barbara Savant-SmithStudent • San AntonioJun 11, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

I enrolled in the Nucamp Web Dev Fundamentals boot camp to get more structure in learning coding. I wanted feedback for the work I was doing, not just hoping for the best as with self-taught learning. The boot camp is a significant time commitment, minimum 10 hours per week and most of the time it was more than that. As someone who works 50+ hours per week, I had to make sure I made some kind of progress every day. Nucamp appealed to me because it was a part-time commitment.

I could keep my job while learning new skills for a career change. Nucamp's structure is great because it allows you to learn at your own pace during the week and get together with other people going through the same material and problems as you are. The instructor, Kevin Gay, was great at helping people with understanding the concepts to make them more real. I look forward to the next boot camp, probably the Full Stack boot camp. - CSStudent • IrvineJun 04, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Nucamp is worth it
I came to Nucamp to update my skillset. Though I worked as a programmer for several years and have a computer science degree, I hadn't coded in almost 20 years having taken time away from technology for almost 20 years.

Though I worked as a programmer for several years and have a computer science degree, I hadn't coded in almost 20 years having taken time away from technology for almost 20 years.
Nucamp has been great. They hit all the main points I remember from many of the core classes necessary for a bs cs. They go pretty fast and I think it matches the work environment for a new hire developer but you have to stay on top of things. It's not easy but it gives you the knowledge you need in a significantly shortened timeframe compared to non-bootcamp alternatives.
The cost of this bootcamp is what initially caught my eye. It's reasonable. These people are doing this for the right reasons. I've stayed-the-course though because of the quality of the program. If you can complete the work, you can do the job. They don't skimp on teaching you the stuff that matters.
The instructors are knowledgable and come from backgrounds which give you confidence they know what they're talking about. I rarely hear a question asked they can't immediately answer - no matter how estoteric.
Thus, I'm very happy with my decision to attend Nucamp. - ShaneQA Engineer • SeattleMay 26, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Go for it!
I'm self taught and have used python for a long time to solve specific business problems on demand in support and QA. This course presents the fundamentals in sequence with practical workshops and it was fun to see other people's portfolio ideas, I'm sure I'll refer back to these resources and reuse the code I wrote for personal projects and at work. - CalvinMay 25, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
I enrolled in Nucamp because of the affordability and the ability to fit it into my work schedule. During the course I had a bit of difficulty adjusting to the format. What I mean is that I am sort of a loaner at figuring things out, and this course or the industry is not designed that way. It is encouraged to lean on classmates, former students and instructor after 20 minutes of struggling. This format took me a solid 3 weeks to finally implement. Even so, I went far beyond 20 minutes 😩...I enrolled in Nucamp because of the affordability and the ability to fit it into my work schedule.

It is encouraged to lean on classmates, former students and instructor after 20 minutes of struggling. This format took me a solid 3 weeks to finally implement. Even so, I went far beyond 20 minutes 😩. My instructor was extremely knowledgeable and patient. He spent time explaining concepts to me outside of workshop, and was responsive to messages. I feel like going forward, I will definitely spend more time asking questions of both peers and instructor. Overall, I'd recommend, but be ready to put in time and ask questions. - Andrew PhamStudent • ChicagoMay 12, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Worth the try and very affordable
I was studying in the traditional college for years trying to get an associate or bachelor but with 70+ hrs/week, I couldn't make it and gave up schooling for about 2 years. However, I know I am desperately to change my career to whatever field as long as it is related to Computer. I had heard from some of my clients about bootcamps so I did some research on what bootcamp was a fit for me. There were some bootcamp options in my list but the cost was too high.

However, I know I am desperately to change my career to whatever field as long as it is related to Computer. I had heard from some of my clients about bootcamps so I did some research on what bootcamp was a fit for me. There were some bootcamp options in my list but the cost was too high. Randomly, I saw Nucamp on some social media platforms I am using which caught my attention because the cost is fit my budget. I started researching about Nucamp and mostly were positive reviews. I though that if I felt Nucamp, at least I would not be in any debt as comparing to the other bootcamp which at least start from 11+ grands. I started Nucamp with the Web Development Fundamentals, I though "Oh, this is easy". Then I continued with Backend, SQL, and DevOps with Python, Python and SQL I did fine but I failed the last subject of the course which is Modern Software Engineering with DevOps. I had no idea nor knowledge about backend, also with no frontend experience and too much to learn within 4 weeks, thinking back, it obvious I would be failed. I was about to really give up but I told myself why not give it one more try. I signed up for the Full Stack Web + Mobile Development. Thinks started to make more sense for me. So far I get the fundamental of how to create a website and make it more attractive and interact with client, I think with more practice and doing more projects will improve my frontend skill. Once I am more confident with the front-end, I would go back and re-learn the Modern Software Engineering with DevOps because the materials are lifetime available in my Nucamp account. My bottom line review about Nucamp and tips for new students who about to enroll is NUCAMP IS DEFINITELY WORTHED TO TRY. Keep in mind that Nucamp will give you the tools (React, react Native, Python, Node.js, Django, PostgreSQL, Azure, etc..) which are top used in the current market and a briefly instruction of how to use it, the rest is on you, self-learning, practice, and explore. It would be overwhelming with too much materials to cover in a short amount of time, and more than a few time you will be arranged with first-time instructor who has no experience in teaching. On the other hand, there are staffs (Mr. Todd Sparrow, Mr. Paul Turner, Ms. Kirsten Markley, and some other amazing staffs) who are very knowledge and willing to help and "listen" to your panic and gently guide you back to your way. If you ever failed a course you can go back to learn it because you own the material and don't forget to join Nucamp community on Slack. Goodluck to me and everyone who is in or about to join Nucamp. Hope we all get a job soon after graduating from Nucamp. And THANK YOU NUCAMP for being so helpful and affordable. - Herbert GandiaRF Engineer • Student • Hybrid (Online & In-person)May 11, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Web Development Fundamentals
So far, my experience with NuCamp has been great! In the short amount of time, I have learned plenty, and I am excited to start using my newly acquired skills and perfecting this new craft. I will continue my education with them because it is relatively inexpensive, and the team are very knowledgeable in this field. They make it look easy. Thank you.
