I have attended both 2U & Bloc bootcamps for softwate dev & ux design previously. I have also done self guided youtube learning, bought udemy courses and have a subscription to code academy. My hope waa that Nucamp would be a middle ground.
I was planning on attending nucamps fundamentals & backend course as a way to sharpen up my skills after working a less technical, but related role in software development for three years. After the first day of looking at materials decided to cancel.
When cancelling they kept over $100 from both registrations as a registration fee even though I had not attended any classes. Customer servicr is handled by a third party service based in India.
The course material is primarily self guided with one day a week used to review lesson material. The material is simple checks and reviews with some larger projects.
In my opinion, you're better off watching Traversy & others on YouTube, buying courses from Udemy & joining codeacademy.
Also, it currently seems impossible to stop emails from coming Ive unsubscribed, and marked as spam but I keep getting emails.
Save your money for a real bootcamp or just do self guided learning.Stephanie of Nucamp

Hello anonymous student,
It feels a bit unfair to be reviewed based on a few minutes of looking over our curriculum and actually not participating at all in our bootcamp. Unfortunately, you missed most of what makes Nucamp unique:
- engaging with your dedicated instructor and classmates in your classroom,
- participating in your weekly live workshops,
- working on challenging assignments with your classmates, receiving feedback and a grade from your instructor, and learning from it,
- working on your portfolio project,
- leveraging our career services including 1:1 career coaching sessions,
- graduating.
We also do not have a "third party" team in India. Our support is handled in the US and is our own.
We hope to see you back in our bootcamp and have you go through the whole learning experience. - AnonymousGraduate • TulsaDec 31, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Excellent
I have read in an article that there will be more IT jobs in job market and less people qualified for it. I am new to coding, no prior experience. I needed a good Bootcamp that works with my schedule. That's why I selected Nucamp. I learned a lot with this Bootcamp. Hoping to get a job in IT field. - AnonymousStudent • MiamiDec 24, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

horrible, I had a rude instructor [name redacted]. The website is confusing at first. They don't have a code to compare your code to see where you made the mistake. I am very disappointed. I have been through bootcamps before and never had this problem. I finished shecodes boot camp and it was amazing.Stephanie of Nucamp

Hello, and first let me say I'm sorry you feel that way about your experience. We have looked into the situation that led to your feedback and would like to clarify a few things that we hope will help with the remaining of your bootcamp if you choose to continue.
First, we understand that you wrote your review after the first couple of weeks of your bootcamp. We hope that the next weeks and following workshops will improve and that our response will help with that.
Regarding providing the finished code at the workshop, this is indeed something that we do not want to do as it would hurt the learning experience and the acquisition of coding skills. We offer finished code during the week as students practice, but the purpose of the end-of-week workshop is to force students to think critically about the code that needs to be written. Providing the finished code would go against that, and would be a disservice to the student learning journey.
You mentioned in another review that you could only attend 2 hours of the 4-hour workshop, and wanted to be given the finished code during these 2 hours. This made the situation more difficult to handle for the instructor. We looked at the feedback your instructor received while teaching your class and could not find an issue with it (4.8 out of 5 is considered excellent). We hope that you will be able to dedicate the full 4 hours for future workshops, we also advise you to study regularly each day.
Best of luck for the future. We hope you will reconsider continuing your bootcamp with us.

Excellent experience!
I enrolled when I found the opportunity to pursue the passion I had when I first went to college. Computer programming has always been the field I was interested in and Nucamp offers a way that I can finally reach that goal that is afforadable and fits my schedule. I'm excited to finally be working toward a career and not working in dead job after dead end job. - AnonymousStudent • Back End, SQL, and DevOps with Python • OnlineDec 20, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Nucamp was amazingly affordable and with the flexibility of the work in the week I was able to keep my job and learn. Only being a month into this I already have passed where I was at self learning. Every question I have had been answered and broken down to where I'm actually understanding. In the end this class so far has taken me mentally from a place of "There's no way I'll learn this, I'm not smart enough" to "I built my first project, look what I can do" - AnonymousStudent • Back End, SQL, and DevOps with Python • OnlineDec 17, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

i enrolled because i wanted to learn something new, especially with it being computer related. I struggle learning through bootcamps because its not in person, but im doing my best and actually enjoy it alittle bit.
after bootcamp, i would like to continue through college and learn more web coding, networking and other computer related programs. - AnonymousApplication Developer • Student • Full Stack Web and Mobile Application Development • OnlineNov 22, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Value for money
This was very helpful for me even with basic knowledge of web deign. The self-paced course materials are very explanatory and somehow, whenever I have a question, as I rea or listen further in the material, they get answered. Thank you Nucamp for all the effort put into creating these materials and giving us excellent teachers as instructors - AnonymousTester • Student • Back End, SQL, and DevOps with Python • OnlineNov 12, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

I have a background working as a process engineer and manager in industrial software. I seen the shift from desktop to microservice and cloud architectures, and wanted to learn more about it and how to execute those projects.
I think it was the right decision for me. I had some background in python, which made the first 2 or 3 weeks of the course easy. But by the end of the first section, and definitely in the SQL and devops section, most if it was new to me.

I think it was the right decision for me. I had some background in python, which made the first 2 or 3 weeks of the course easy. But by the end of the first section, and definitely in the SQL and devops section, most if it was new to me.
The course covers a wide amount of material, without too much depth. I now have a good place to get started if I want to dive into certain technologies. I think the course overall had a good pace, a little fast but we got to cover a lot of material.
The instructors were knowledgeable, and had actual professional experience, which I really wanted to see.
Their tools and systems are streamlined. I liked that everyone is in the same time zone. Class sizes are good.
My only complaint is the exercises were a little too easy, and the portfolio project, while great for learning, is optional. I think we had some very good students in the courses, but some that I would be cautious of hiring myself. - AnonymousStudent • Back End, SQL, and DevOps with Python • OnlineNov 03, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

This is an amazing course with great instruction and insight into Python.

NuCamp allows for working and learning a new trade
I selected the Web Fundamentals Introductory course which focused on HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I selected this course to evaluate the following: 1 Did I like programming and 2 Was NuCamp right for me to return to programming. I liked the low cost which allowed me to evaluate both of these things. If I were working full-time, I could see the appeal of working 2-4 hours per night and attending the coding lab on Saturdays.

At the end of the course, I determined that I do like programming and NuCamp allowed me to learn at a slow pace. After I left the bootcamp, I decided to explore obtaining a CS degree as I am not currently employed, and possibly return to a bootcamp once I complete the CS degree.
