NuCamp is an affordable way to learn to develop front end websites with a flexible schedule that works for me, which is saying something because I care for 2 kids and work full-time. The instructors are excellent and the cirriculum is worthy of your time and teaches the content well. One or two aspects of the cirriculum seem to be about 1-2 years behind and could be updated to improve, but all of the material we learned is still very much relevant, useful, and fun!

If you are interested in learning to code for a fraction of the cost of other bootcamps with a flexible schedule, I strongly recommend it!

Great Program!
I just finished the Bootstrap course in the Full Stack Web and Mobile Development program and after my experience so far I would not change my decision to commit to Nucamp! Great instruction, content and projects that build on one another. There is nothing like this for the price! - J. MendezOct 24, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Full Stack Web + Mobile
I enrolled to Nucamp's Full Stack Web + Mobile Bootcamp because of their great reviews, affordable price, and flexible schedule. But I did not know that their instructors are so awesome. I'm very pleased with my decision to attend their bootcamp, and I look forward to completing it. - MarkWeaver • Student • Web Development Fundamentals • OnlineOct 23, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Awful Instruction
The weekly learning was great, but the weekend instruction by [name redacted] was absolutely awful. Our instructor did not speak English well and he had no concept of time management whatsoever. He repeatedly got frustrated with us not understanding him and had repeated issues with his PC and zoom not cooperating with him. He would berate us for "looking bored" and act like it was the student's fault he is a terrible instructor who is impossible to follow.

I was very excited for NuCamp and happily paid $400 for this course. I feel like the majority of that goes to the instructor and I am very upset about that. This instructor in no way earned $400 from me. While the week learning was fair for half the price and had a lot of value, the weekend instruction was so awful that I will not be continuing with NuCamp. I feel like I threw money and time down the toilet by going to the weekend classes. If it was not mandatory I would skip them entirely.
NuCamp was promoted to me as a great alternative to more expensive bootcamps. Now I feel like I got scammed. It's so hard to understand and follow the instructor and it is just so upsetting.

Python Fundamentals, Data Structures, and Algorithms
I enrolled in Nucamp because it provided me with the opportunity to interact with others and an instructor. The problem I had while trying to learn Python on my own was that whenever I got stuck on a particular problem, I either didnt know how to look for a solution or could not find a solution. With Nucamps way of teaching, it allowed me to bounce questions off other students and instructor. - William RobersoneOct 20, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Backend Development
My Nucamp experience has been great, as I'm gaining a better understanding of Python, how to use algorithms and data structures. With tons of practice and building projects, I continue to become more comfortable with backend development. - Walter QuarlesDevOps Engineer • Student • Back End, SQL, and DevOps with Python • OnlineOct 20, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Great! you can still be full-time employee while doing the bootcamp
i'm still a full-time employee while doing the bootcamp on the side that is something you cannot do with other bootcamps plus the tuition fee is bang for buck compare to other that will cost you $20K. i'm glad that i go with Nucamp and continue learning with them. i recommend putting extra study time during weekends...

NuCamp is a fantastic bootcamp
I'm a DoorDash driver. I never finished college, having dropped out during my senior year when my best friend hung herself. I've always been very poor, working one dead-end job after another. I drove the entire year last year, and this year so far too, delivering food to people locked away in their houses during the Pandemic. A lot of these people were tech workers, living in really nice, huge houses, staying at home and just working through zoom meetings. One night I delivered pizza to ...I'm a DoorDash driver. I never finished college, having dropped out during my senior year when my best friend hung herself. I've always been very poor, working one dead-end job after another. I drove the entire year last year, and this year so far too, delivering food to people locked away in their houses during the Pandemic. A lot of these people were tech workers, living in really nice, huge houses, staying at home and just working through zoom meetings. One night I delivered pizza to a man who lived in a huge mansion. He came out to his front drive when I pulled up. I put on my mask and asked him what he did for a living. He told me that he worked in tech, as a front end web developer. As I drove home that night in my 20-year old Honda Accord, still angry about the $800 auto repair bill I had recently paid, I started thinking about the man, and the other tech workers I had delivered food to during their home-employment. Were they any more intelligent than I? Well, obviously. They had jobs that paid very well and they never needed to leave the house during the deadly pandemic. At that point I had been watching tutorial videos about computer programming, games, etc. In one of the videos, the guy doing the video mentioned that he had gotten his developer job after attending a bootcamp. I started looking around at bootcamps, but they were all outrageously expensive. It would have cost me almost as much if I had gone back to college and finished my senior year. But finally I found NuCamp, and realized that I could afford the tuition if I just worked my regular schedule while I was in NuCamp.
Aside from being the most affordable bootcamp, the founder of NuCamp, Ludo, is a very kind man, and even took the time to talk with me online. I came away from the conversation feeling inspired.
The teachers at NuCamp are friendly, patient. The workload isn't overwhelming, although it is challenging. My favorite part so far is the portfolio project we have been working on. NuCamp stresses the importance of working in a team, and the experience of building a team and creating a website together has been a lot of fun, and a challenge for me that forces me to learn.
So far I love NuCamp, and I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants a change in their lives. Because of NuCamp, I've found new confidence and I look forward to a great new life, a great new career, a feeling that I can take on the world. - Ashish BajpaiProduct Manager • Student • Back End, SQL, and DevOps with Python • Hybrid (Online & In-person)Oct 17, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Backend with Python
I wanted to get hands-on experience in Python while learning and revisiting Data Structures in Python. The course content and hands-on experience with workshops and hands-on assignments has been really good for my learning experience.
