I wanted to learn programming so I can start a new career. I started looking into bootcamps because I knew that it would provide the right direction and curriculum rather than trying to pick it up on your own. I almost signed up for a $15k bootcamp and was very nervous about making that decision. After doing some more research, I found a bootcamp in my city called Nucamp. This best part, it was affordable. The price was too good to be true! I watched a youtube video with the founder (Lud...I wanted to learn programming so I can start a new career. I started looking into bootcamps because I knew that it would provide the right direction and curriculum rather than trying to pick it up on your own. I almost signed up for a $15k bootcamp and was very nervous about making that decision. After doing some more research, I found a bootcamp in my city called Nucamp. This best part, it was affordable. The price was too good to be true! I watched a youtube video with the founder (Ludo) going over the program and I really liked that he was very transparent and up front. I finally made the decision and signed up. I took a web fundamentals course and I am not in the full stack dev course. I am glad I went with Nucamp because the quality of education you receive is amazing, Nucamp is underrated! As with everything, what you put in is what you get out! I'm saying this becuase the resources they give you really helps you understand a new concept, you are not left confused and "on your own." With these resources, you have a very high chance of succeeding if you put in the time. Highly recommend Nucamp, I'm glad I joined. For anyone in doubt, as someone that hardly ever writes a review, I'm writing this because Nucamp is that good that it warrants this review!- TawanaStudent • StudentMay 28, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

I enjoy Nucamp ...Affordability, the course outline and other students experience as well as great staff! My instructor and class mates really help me out since I am new to this. I fell behind but I caught up and I realize if you do this daily, you will catch on and be okay!

I contacted at leas 3 other students and we all agreed that Nucamp is not a good school at all. 4 hours workshop each Saturday for 12 students where we suppose to review the whole week content and work on the weekly assignment, that is not enough at all, we don't have time to ask questions and instructors do not have to time to explain the material. I will be honest and update the review if things change along the way but right now I feel I should not be wasting more time at Nucamp and move to another coding school!Ludo Fourrage of Nucamp

Hello XXXXX, really sorry that you feel this way. Since you've just recently started React I would suggest reaching out to studentadmin@nucamp.co for a refund. Given how far along you are you should be getting a good amount of your tuition back.
Now regarding your feedback, I find it difficult to respond to it to be honest. Regarding the React module you are attending that started on May 3rd, we have 19 instructors looking after 200+ students total. Each week we ask students to rate their instructor and the content, and right now the average rating for instructors is 4.48 out of 5, while the content rating is 4.23 out of 5. It's not perfect but likely not "the worst" either. The video and written instructions are meant for you to learn from, which is helped by exercises where we ask you to reproduce what you just saw in your own local environment. Just copying the code won't produce the intended learning experience indeed.
You mention that you contacted "at least 3 other students". Your impression of the school and your personal experience speaks for itself I think. Not clear also what you mean by "at least", is it 3 students, or 4, or 10?
Lastly it is not clear what your 1 star review of Job Assistance is based on since you haven't started the career services yet.
Please reach out to studentadmin@nucamp.co so that we can evaluate options to make it right for you, and support your transition out of the school so that you can explore alternatives. Feel free to reach out to me directly as well at ludo@nucamp.co. - BridgettStudent • WashingtonMay 18, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Web Dev Fundamentals
I enrolled in Nucamp's 4-week Web Development Fundamental course because I'm making a career change from teaching to web development. It was an affordable first step towards this long-term goal. The course material was very detail oriented, and the instructor was fantastic. The workshops allowed me to get experience working with other people and building technical communication skills. I enjoyed it so much that I enrolled in the Full Stack Web Development bootcamp. - Subas BanjaraMay 18, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Web Development Fundamentals
I'm so happy that I could able to start my coding jurney from nucamp. I completed my web development fundamentals course last week, and I'm going to start Full Stake Web+ Mobile Development course soon from nucamp. The course content, supportive instructors, flexeble learning hour and affordable fee structure are the best aspect of Nucamp campare to other bootcamps. - Garland WoodruffSales Consultant • Graduate • Web Development Fundamentals • OnlineMay 18, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

I am now done with the 4-week fundamentals course and I feel like I was provided a foundation that is predominantly for the self-motivated to learn further. You will have to spend time on your own that the course does not cover, but does cover the need-to-know basis. I am looking forward to diving into the full stack program, hoping it tailors to what I have already learned. So far it has been a great, yet stressful experience. I would recommend for those that are looking to get into Web Development. - JoshuaIT/NetworkingMay 18, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Nucamp is exactly what I was looking for.
I wasn't sure about Nucamp as I hadn't heard a lot about it. I must say I learned a lot about it in the fundamentals course and I loved it!
The instructors are knowledgable and have real world working experience to bring to their teaching.
The course work is organized well throughout the week and the workshops really bring everything together. The small class sizes are great for working with others and getting plenty of time with the instructor to work through issues.

One of the biggest draws for me at the beginning was the affordability. It is tough to be able to afford these camps especially being a father, but having to give up to 15% of ones salary for others isn't exactly appealing either. Nucamp is affordable and of the same quailty as the more expensive camps.
I would 10/10 recommend Nucamp to anyone looking to learn Web Dev or change carreers. Thanks Nucamp! - Chris LynchGraduate • Web Development Fundamentals • OnlineMay 17, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I chose Nucamp because it was online and the price was affordable. I have been studying html and css (and a little bit of js) for about a year. I figured it would give me a good foundation for entering the bootcamp. I took the basic course first (web dev fundamentals) just to help with my understanding, and I learned a lot.

I have signed up for the full stack course which starts soon. I would recommend this if your thinking about entering the field.

4-week primer (Great!)
Review of the 4-week primer course in HTML, CSS, Javascript:
I chose Nucamp because of the cost (lowest in the country) and the reviews I'd seen on Youtube and other places. While Nucamp is probably a bit thinner on the substance than it probably could be, Nucamp has a fantastic online format and platform. The instructor I had was fantastic and made herself more available than expected. It could've been a bit beefier in material and expectation, but overall this is a GREAT choice ...Review of the 4-week primer course in HTML, CSS, Javascript:

The instructor I had was fantastic and made herself more available than expected. It could've been a bit beefier in material and expectation, but overall this is a GREAT choice for learning to code. I highly recommend Nucamp, especially to people who are a bit skeptical about whether they should even be in a code camp. The cost makes it a NO-BRAINER. I learned a lot in the primer course and am excited to start the Full-Stack Camp next. The only encouragement I have for Nucamp is to make the course longer and focus on Javascript more. It's a BIG language and we probably should've spent more guided learning time on it, but overall I'm very, very happy with this experience. Count me as a Nucamp believer. :) - MorganStudent • PortlandMay 17, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
