Nucamp is incredible. I had begun learning to code myself, and after completing a Javascript course, I knew I wanted a little more help in filling in the gaps.
While there aren't extreme deadlines and intensive assessments that might fail you out, like other bootcamps, Nucamp is perfect for balancing anything else one has going on, and learning to program.

While there aren't extreme deadlines and intensive assessments that might fail you out, like other bootcamps, Nucamp is perfect for balancing anything else one has going on, and learning to program.
I feel I have the ability to go out into the tech world and truly do well. The instructors are amazing and helpful, especially if you put in your due diligence to understand content as well. I personally didn't need to be terrified of failing out in order to learn to code, I just needed resources and a few deadlines, and I loved it!
I stand behind any bootcamp that gives this type of access to learning to code. Bravo to Nucamp!- Benedict JallahGraduateVerified by LinkedInSep 05, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Python course review
Based on the first five-week course, Python Fundamentals, I want to share my experience with the Nucamp Back End, SQL, and DevOps with Python Bootcamp.
I like Nucamp because the founder, Ludo, is transparent about the program. In his love weekly YouTube show, Campfire, he mentioned that students would have to supplement using this program.

I like Nucamp because the founder, Ludo, is transparent about the program. In his love weekly YouTube show, Campfire, he mentioned that students would have to supplement using this program.
He says there are better and free curriculums, but the main reason for choosing Nucamp is the weekend 4-hour live workshop. He talks about how people rarely finish these programs. I've started a few and haven't finished, so I relate.
So, going into the program, I knew it wouldn't have the best curriculum.
So, why choose Nucamp?
I chose Nucamp because it's affordable. When I signed up, it was five payments of $385 with the early bird discount.
Also, the workshop provides the accountability I need. Since I will meet with my cohort on the weekend, I will complete everything on time, so I won't be behind.
The first couple of weeks were not smooth sailing. As I got used to the assignments, I learned that I needed to be able to write what my code was doing in paragraph form.
Explaining it in words helped me learn all of the proper terminologies for Python. The weekend workshop assignment always explained what to do using Python terminology, so I would waste lots of time figuring out what I was being asked to do.
That struggle helped me see that I wasn't learning the concepts. So, I started adding comments to the exercises in my code files, explaining definitions of things and why I'm doing what I'm doing.
As I mentioned, Nucamp lessons will ask you to seek outside sources to learn each lesson.
Some resources I use are Code With Mosh, Python for Everybody, and Udacity's free Intro to Python course.
Nucamp asks for feedback on the teacher and the curriculum every week. Feedback is shared with the teacher, and it's supposed to be anonymous.
My teacher adjusted his approach to the class after receiving feedback. He ensured we knew he wanted us to ask questions if we needed to. My overall impression of Nucamp is that it is responsive to feedback.
They update their curriculum more often than some of the other boot camps I considered. And, since it's affordable, if I decide I don't want to work with Python or SQL in the future, I won't feel like I wasted money by trying it.
To recap, I chose Nucamp because it is affordable, offers live help in the weekend workshops or help by chat on Slack, and offers structured learning and accountability.
Since outstanding curricula are available online for free, you don't need a boot camp to learn code. I chose this route for support and accountability, but many choose to learn independently. - RobertStudent • Back End, SQL, and DevOps with Python • SeattleVerified by GitHubSep 03, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
good bootcamp
This review was required as part of the curriculum. This bootcamp is affordable and flexible.

A great bootcamp
I felt that I wouldn't be able to manage this course, but an admissions rep., helped make clear the requirements after he understood my challenges. Honestly, he is the reason I committed in the end. I am glad I did, as I learned alot, and my strong desire to code was re-ignited. I still have lots to learn and soo much practice to undertake, but I am happy with my decision on NuCamp!

Nucamp
I enjoy learning about coding and I want to do it for a future career so Nucamp looked like a good option. - SergeVerified by LinkedInAug 20, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
A very good way to get introduced to lots of coding concepts fast!
Nucamp is great, but I am not sure it's the right direction for me right now. To me, the most important features of the camp are direct interactions with students and instructors, as well as hands-on exercises. I have a few ideas I want to try and develop, and what I missed in the course is the additional coaching on how something can be done in a different way. Single-option how-tos tend to discourage rather than inspire. But then again, everyone's learning styles are different. - Justyn MitchellStudent • NashvilleVerified by LinkedInAug 20, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Full Stack Web + Mobile Development
The main reason why I chose to enroll in Nucamp was because I had previously started my career in IT and wanted to get back into this industry. I felt that Nucamp was the best in helping me accomplish my goal. Their courses were very thorough and each module helped me understand all the new concepts and technologies. I have learned a lot from my instructors and cohorts and this will help me in the next chapter of my career! - MarioStudent • Hybrid (Online & In-person)Verified by GitHubAug 08, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The instructors are very helpful and nice, they take their time explaining the course. I have very little experience in web dev, and i am getting more confident in my work. Best decision I have made and coding is something that i am very passionate about now, theres something about taking a blank page and creating a full on web page that is functioning. Take it from me if I can do it, you can too. - Christa C.Graduate • Web Development Fundamentals • OnlineVerified by GitHubJul 26, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Excellent Experience
I just finished the Web development fundamentals course and was initially nervous as I am changing careers after 15 years in Business Finance and HR. My instructor was fantastic, the material was easy to follow and the support from the school staff was outstanding when needed. - ZachStudentVerified by GitHubJul 21, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Nucamp's HTML, CSS and Javascript course
I signed up for this class to kinda bolster what I somewhat knew with html and css. I was very eager to get to the javascript, and I must say that my instructor had a great way of teaching and lended us a number of resources to look over in our spare time. The group setting made it fun and I'm assuming alluded to what it's actually like to work on a development team. Great cohort, and I will be continuing on to complete all nucamp's courses in its entirety.
