Nucamp was the most affordable boot camp I could find and was also the most flexible for my schedule as I work full time. It's definetly intense for those of us with no tech background, but the instructors are very helpful and there are always extra resources linked for additional studying. I think I made a good choice in selecting Nucamp.- AnonymousStudentAug 04, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Great content and affordable!
For two years, I've been dabbling with coding by paying for and working through online courses because I want to transition careers. Though I learned some things about web development, I never followed through because life got in the way, plus I didn't feel like I had the right structure to learn. NuCamp has given me the right structure and pathway to learn web development, and it's also very affordable.

BE WARNED!!!!!!!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!! These programs are EXTREMELY outdated, and mostly just copy/paste instruction with little to no explanation. If I could go back in time I would have just burned my money and watched YouTube (would have learned more this way). I have also voiced my concerns to both customer support and the CEO, both have ignored me, or simply offered an opportunity to take the same course over again. This makes no sense. You have been warned!!!!!!!!!!!!!...BE WARNED!!!!!!!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!! These programs are EXTREMELY outdated, and mostly just copy/paste instruction with little to no explanation.

We are really sorry that our learning experience didn't work for you, and would like to invite you to reach to studentadmin@nucamp.co one more time to discuss what we could be doing to help.
We would also like to correct the points you are making about content freshness since we do not believe it to be accurate.
We are continuously updating our content, and recently upgraded the React and React Native curriculum to the latest React version and updated the codebase to using Hooks.
We are also making many changes to the Python SQL content to make it easier to install. We have been updating the Python and DevOps content a couple of months ago, and are planning to update the Web Development Fundamentals soon as well - not because the content is outdated but because our video production methods have evolved and we'd like to apply them to this bootcamp.
We have full time staff working on updating the content daily, often helped by our instructors as well.
Again, sorry to hear that you felt differently about the content. We're looking forward to figuring out a solution with you. - AnonymousStudent • San DiegoJul 18, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

I joined Nucamp due to the low daily time commitment and also recomendations through past graduates. The experience has been great so far and I cant wait to take more classes.

I was initially drawn to Nucamp because I was looking for an affordable option that didn't skimp on the courses and this was exactly what I hoped for. I'm excited about the coming camps and to continue learning. - AnonymousJul 16, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I took the intro web development course with the plan to complete the full stack training through NuCamp. Honestly, I learned more from Udemy courses that I purchased and I wouldn't recommend NuCamp to friends or family. The instructor was largely absent, lacked experience in the field, and struggled understanding/answering basic questions. The website tells you to expect 17.5 hours of content per week, but in reality I was finished with things every week in about 6 hours, INCLUDING the weekly workshops. My instructor made the weekly workshops into a joke where he haphazardly went through the slides we had already seen in the videos that week and asked if there were questions. When we finished our workshop assignments, we were allowed to leave with no further work or review. I was typically done in less than two hours each Saturday.
I do not feel like this course was worth the money AT ALL. Like I said, I've paid far less on Udemy and received much better instruction and higher quality material than NuCamp. Don't spend your money here. There are free bootcamps out there with more to offer and certainly other paid programs that are higher caliber as well.Stephanie of Nucamp

Hello and very sorry about your experience. We make sure that all Instructors are thoroughly vetted during two interviews evaluating their teaching style, and their technical depth. Using the weekly feedback from students we also provide coaching to instructors who need to improve and sometimes have to replace the instructor when the situation doesn't improve. That said the average rating of our instructor is above 4.6 (out of 5) which would indicate your experience was unfortunately an exception, and we'd like to apologize for it.
The core value that Nucamp provides - compared to Udemy - is the support received during the bootcamp, and the career services helping graduates find jobs. The support comes in many ways: the dedicated instructor, students having classmates to work with, and a large and very active Slack community. With this level of support about 70% of students complete the bootcamp, which is much higher than the number of people finishing cheap Udemy courses.
We would love to have you join back to continue your journey with us, as we trust that your next instructor will deliver on your expectations. Please email us at studentadmin@nucamp.co if you are interested.
Lastly yes all the reviews posted here are genuine, none of them are removed. Course Report does not provide a review removal feature to Nucamp. - AnonymousStudent • Web Development Fundamentals • OnlineJul 11, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Basic, good for begginners
It is a good starting point to learn web dev with nucamp especially you do not know where to start and feeling lost watching tons of tutorials. But it was not enough time to learn fundamentals of javascript in 2 weeks and i think there should be more exercises and workshops to grasp the subjects. Overall it is good bootcamp for the price. - AnonymousStudent • Full Stack Web and Mobile Application Development • OnlineJul 04, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
I work two Jobs
I choose this Bootcamp because of my work schedule, working two Jobs barely allows me to do anything and the schedule of this Bootcamp fits ideally my experience with the BootCamp has been great I have learned thus far, and just like anything you do it is what you put in is what you get out. - AnonymousStudent • Graduate • SeattleJul 01, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Best value
Great Bootcamp for the cost we paid, I personally wouldn't learn things that I did here if I was studying on my own and the structure and contents were great. Some of the weeks can be a bit overwhelming and could be split into two or provide more background knowledge to make it easier to digest and a couple of the weeks could use a refresh in Develop course. Overall very satisfied and recommend Nucamp to everyone. - AnonymousJun 29, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Intro to Python and data structures + algorithms
The cost and flexibility of the bootcamp is what made me enroll. It's a good way to learn coding, though I wish some more complex concepts were taught a bit more in depth - AnonymousStudent • Los AngelesJun 26, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Python Back End
I was getting jammed up trying to learn python on my own. Especially the Object Oriented Programming. The workshop sand lessons as well as the Portfolio Project gave me the confidence i needed and a deeper understanding of OOP. Very grateful and well worth it. - AnonymousStudent • Web Development Fundamentals • OnlineJun 16, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
