I chose Nucamp for a variety of reason. First was format. I dont do well with "code along" presentations. The videos mix some code with lecture notes. And the group workshops help. Second was rating and reviews. Last was price. I believe the price for value recieved was very good. - AnonymousStudent • HoustonSep 22, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Bootstrap
So far the bootstrap course has been easy to follow but the quality of the instructor is pretty low. The assignments were not graded on time and the communication was minimal. For $370 a month I expected a better instructor. Let's hope my next instructor is better. - AnonymousStudent • Full Stack Web and Mobile Application Development • Hybrid (Online & In-person)Sep 18, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Read the reviews carefully to determine how far into the bootcamp a student was before composing the review. This review is made at the half-way point.
The Good:- Engaging, enthusiastic instructors for the Saturday workshops
- Low price point
The Bad:- The quality of the instruction in the videos needs to be addressed
- Supplemental learning on Youtube and/or Udemy is almost essential
- The copy/paste learning structure
- The students finds themselves unable to use what was learned to build an application
- The lack of instructor availability on weekdays/weeknights
- Nucamp needs to have an instructor available to answer questions Sunday-Friday for a set period in a zoom call to answer questions.
The Ugly:- The React course is a disaster.
- The videos need to be completely redone.
- The material is covered too quickly for a part-time course.
- At least two five-week periods are needed to actually comprehend the material.
- It takes hours to find videos online to cover the deficiencies in Nucamp's videos.
- Nucamp should abandon ReactNative and spend two units on React.
- ReactNative is not a skill set for a full stack developer - it's an extra bonus.
- Until the React curriculum is completely overhauled, I cannot in good faith recommend this course to any potential students.

Kudos to this Wonderful BootCamp
I had very brief Python exposure in my Computer Science program, our language was Java, but also, this was 7 years ago and I've since grown rusty in programming altogether. I worked for a big multinational tech firm in the last 7 years, but for projects where I felt I needed to improve my programming skills to 'get ahead'.

I worked for a big multinational tech firm in the last 7 years, but for projects where I felt I needed to improve my programming skills to 'get ahead'. I want to become a 'programming-based tester' if I go back into Testing (Python Selenium), or alternatively build up to Python dev freelance work, or (Data Sci work) Dashboard Developer. Every direction I'd want to go involves Python, even animation projects in Maya for fun.
NuCamp, *far* exceeded my expectations for my goals.
The cadence of once a week workshops, well-designed work assignments, and encouraging instruction on my day off, really gave me the push and guidance to learn *a LOT* in a short amount of time, but never felt "stuck" for too long. So it was a wonderful experience of legitimate up-skilling. I'm now very comfortable with coding in Python, after a quite intense 5 weeks, and will definitely continue the momentum upwards provided by NuCamp. Thank you!!! - AnonymousStudentSep 11, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Nucamp Course Review (Python Fundamentals)
What led me to enroll in Nucamp was the potential to gain new skills in order to be hired as a programmer.

Web Development
I am considering doing some "retraining" to change up my career outlook. I found Nucamp when searching for methods to learn skills to "code".
I have taken only the Web Development course at this time, but really like the format and the content. - AnonymousStudent • Web Development Fundamentals • OnlineAug 28, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Web Development Fundamentals
It was the best decision for me enroll into Nucamp. It was affordable and the instructor answered our questions on time and in order. I liked working on projects with other people in the group. It was very nice learning new things and immediately applying them. - AnonymousStudent • WashingtonAug 26, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Great Experience
I've had a great experience thus far. It's been great to connect with other people in the class and trade ideas and study tips. Our instructor, Natalie Childs has been super helpful as well and entertaining. Would definitely recommend Nucamp to friends! - AnonymousStudentAug 19, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Mediocre Curriculum, Good Instructors
Even at it's cheap price point, I don't think the Nucamp's curriculum is worth it. The course basically revolves around you watching vids for 6 days of the week and copying whatever the woman is doing in the videos to try to "learn" whatever concepts she's teaching ... and then attempting to prove that you get it by doing "code challenges". The last day is spent on workshops with an actual instructor to go over what we learned.

The course basically revolves around you watching vids for 6 days of the week and copying whatever the woman is doing in the videos to try to "learn" whatever concepts she's teaching ... and then attempting to prove that you get it by doing "code challenges". The last day is spent on workshops with an actual instructor to go over what we learned. However, I find that it's pretty easy to get lost since 6 days of the week are spent without an actual instructor. It's literally no different than watching Youtube vids or taking a Udemy course to learn on your own and taking some quiz afterwards. It would've been better if we had two live classes. One during the middle of the week and one at the end of the week to make sure everyone is on the same page. And because alot of the instructors have actual jobs, it can take a while for them to get back to you. So you're basically forced to google everything when you're lost or wait until the end of the week to catch up on your questions. On top of that, the curriculum itself is pretty unbalanced. We spend too much time on easy things like Bootstrap and not enough time on challenging things like React, Reactive Native, Redux, Node, etc. I feel like the videos themselves were just too copy and paste-y too (the lady in the vids were constantly telling us to "Copy and paste this here"). I found myself, ironically, taking FREE courses and watching vids on youtube just to understand what was going on since the woman in the videos were explaining things pretty terribly and, often, without context. And I found myself learning more from these free courses and videos than the actual Nucamp course itself. Overall, eventhough the instructors are pretty good, I just don't think it's worth it, even at it's low price point. I feel I learned more from free material online than the bootcamp. And what we actually learned just felt too copy-paste-y and didn't really solidify the concepts. I feel like they suck you in with the low cost but there are other cheap and free resources out there that are better! - AnonymousAug 07, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great Course so Far
Great Camp. I would recommend this to others who want to learn Bootstrap and front end development. I'm looking forward to the React portion of this course. - AnonymousStudent • Web Development Fundamentals • OnlineJul 27, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

I learned a lot this past month! Great way to get started in coding and learn the fundamentals. If you're interested in learning to code, but don't want to fully commit until you know coding is right for you, Nucamp's 4 week HTML, CSS & Javascript introductory bootcamp is a great first step to take in your coding journey.
