I chose to attend due to the price and reputation of the university. I’m forever grateful for what I learned and am thankful that I went through this program.

NuCamp: Web Development Fundamentals
I signed up for this bootcamp as a review of long lost skills but found I learned a lot. I also wanted to see if this format would work for me before signing up for a longer bootcamp, which I decided to do at the end of this intro course. I hope future courses work as well as this one did for me. - Alton CollinsNetwork Admin • StudentDec 17, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Completing Front End Bootcamp
I chose Nucamp because I wanted a format that offered feedback from another "live" individual. Self-study makes it too easy to lose focus because other priorities can place demands on one's time, and sometimes it is good to hear an explanation that comes from outside of one's personal experience.

I chose this course of study for several reasons:
1. I want to continue to develop my skillset in Information Technology without the need to invest in (constantly changing) equipment such as infrastructure technologies.
2. Front end tech gives me the ability to create a solution from conception.
3. I want to choose whether to work for an organization or independently. - Shayla SavageStudent • CharlotteNov 27, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
NuCamp is a great bootcamp!

I have always worked on the front line of IT in project management, product management and business analysis. However, I have always been fascinated with coding and have worked so closely with Software Developers the majority of my career. I found Nucamp via LinkedIn and could not believe how affordable they have made it to pursue a career in software development. It took me awhile before I finally pulled the trigger and enrolled in the Web Fundamentals class to get my feet wet and I'm so glad I did! I love the structure of the lessons, my instructor was fantastic and being able to attend workshops every Saturday was so beneficial for me to retain what I learned throughtout the week as well as staying connected with and learning from my other classmates. I absolutely love the way Nucamp has structured their bootcamps and I learned so much. I'm now completely sure that I want to keep diving deeper. I will be moving on to the Full Stack bootcamp in January and I'm so excited about what I will be learning and what 2024 has to offer regarding job opportunities as I know Nucamp is providing me with all the information I need to be a success! I would highly recommend this bootcamp to anyone! At least give the Web Fundamentals bootcamp a shot. It's so affordable and will help you make a decision as to what direction you want to move towards next! At least you will have enough knowledge to start building websites. It's a win-win situation! - Yigit AskinStudent • TampaNov 20, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Nice Structure for Independent Studies
I picked NuCamp because of the price, obviously - but also because it had nice reviews. Its teaching structure works the best for me: as it provides a nice structure to my own studies without needing to be online at odd hours during the work week - Joshua KennedyStudent • Web Development Fundamentals • OnlineNov 19, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Completely Satisfied!
Nucamp is the perfect comination of self-paced study during the week and live workshop on the weekend. The Web Development Fundamentals course gave me the skills, and confidence, to build and deploy a webiste on my own. That is something I have been interested in for years, but never would have accomplished on my own. I will definitely recommend to others! - Leila SabolicStudent • Hybrid (Online & In-person)Oct 15, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

The Discord server, the access to the actual CEO and instructors who actually made the videos you will learn an absolute TON from, the lifetime access to the bootcamp's coursework all make NuCamp stand out from the rest. I haven't even mentioned the price point yet..NuCamp is the most affordable bootcamp you will find and the most flexible, however, do not confuse affordable with it being cheap! NuCamp is the best bang for your buck and they could easily charge thousands more for their bootcamps but they do not because they believe that learning how to code should be accessible to everyone. There is even financing options through Ascent and Climb. I financed my Web Fundamentals and Full Stack Web and Mobile Development bootcamps through Ascent. Easy peezy! - Alayna WeissStudent • Kansas CityOct 03, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
10/10
Enrolling in Nucamp was a great decision! I have been going through every course they offer and it has been great. The Backend, SQL, and DevOps with Python has been grueling at times, but that is what I signed up for. All of the instructors I have had so far have been extremely helpful. Even offered to meet during the week 1 on 1 to help if there was something that I didn't understand. I am very excited to see where the rest of the course will take me! - Gloria TreiderStudent • Full Stack Web and Mobile Application Development • OnlineSep 29, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Transformative Learning at Nucamp: A Thrilling Journey
My experience at Nucamp, where I've been learning front-end and full-stack programming, has been incredibly rewarding. I can confidently say that I've learned a lot during my time here. The learning process at Nucamp is not just helpful but also engaging.
In particular, I've had the opportunity to dive deeper into programming and expand my skills, especially in understanding and working with APIs. This has opened up new possibilities and improved my problem-solving abilities.

In particular, I've had the opportunity to dive deeper into programming and expand my skills, especially in understanding and working with APIs. This has opened up new possibilities and improved my problem-solving abilities. Looking forward, I'm genuinely excited to explore the realm of different cloud connections in our full-stack courses.
What makes Nucamp even more exceptional is the fun and collaborative atmosphere in their learning process. Learning here has been enjoyable, with a supportive community that encourages growth and creativity.
I'd highly recommend Nucamp to anyone considering a coding bootcamp. Moreover, Nucamp's follow-up and caring culture have not gone unnoticed. It's evident that they are invested in their students' success, which adds tremendous value to the overall experience. So, if you're looking for a coding bootcamp that's both enriching and supportive, Nucamp is the perfect choice. - Jonathon DayGraduate • AtlantaSep 25, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Above Average compared to other bootcamps
- The Price
So right off the bat I should say, me and my brother both started two different bootcamps at nearly the same time. I went to Nucamp, he went to Tech Elevator. He did 14 weeks of fullstack, I did 16 weeks of backend and python. In total, I spent ~2622$(for a short preliminary bootcamp + the backend one), he spent ~16,500$(for one, with a required interview to even participate). All this to say, for the amount of money spent vs the amount we actually learned, these two ...
- The Price
So right off the bat I should say, me and my brother both started two different bootcamps at nearly the same time. I went to Nucamp, he went to Tech Elevator. He did 14 weeks of fullstack, I did 16 weeks of backend and python. In total, I spent ~2622$(for a short preliminary bootcamp + the backend one), he spent ~16,500$(for one, with a required interview to even participate). All this to say, for the amount of money spent vs the amount we actually learned, these two classes are very competitive with each other. Both of them require a lot of self study to really understand anything as you go. The extra money spent didn't add much.
- A Small Catch
HOWEVER, for Nucamp you will need to provide your own hardware, which unfortunatly stoped one of the students dead during the first run of classes. His computer didn't support Virtualization Technology. If you're considering this course, check your computer's BIOS or UEFI settings to see if you have these features. It is manditory from word go. You can still get by quite well on a budget build PC for EASILY less than 1000$ more, so you'd still be saving a ton of cash in the end (Which is what I did). If doing either of these things is too much hassle for you, I'm not sure you'd do well in either of these courses. Don't be afraid to to break things in your computer. It might be a pain to fix it when you do, but as a software developer or especially as DevOps, this is pain you will need to experience at SOME point. Better now than on someone else's computer where your job is on the line.
- a VERY brief overview
The course is split into three runs of different subjects. Python, Data-science, and Operations (basicly). With an overarching theme of using Python for EVERYTHING. The first run was the easiest to follow and best structured, the second run was the worst, the third was just fine.
The first run was likely easier for me due to prior experience in Java. It was still the best run with the best instructor. Super straight forward, and required the least amount of external resources to understand.
The second week of the second run was the point I nearly dropped this course due to the ridiculous amount of stuff that gets introduced and then immediately dropped just to explain more new stuff. The lessons just overcomplicated things. In reality what you NEED to learn from that run is much simpler. Knowing that going in will make your life easier. I learned more in one day reading external resources than I did in the entire run.
The third run would've been much easier for me, but I had mass hardware failure and needed to shift over to a different computer to finish. (This had nothing to due with the course or it's quality, but I thought you should know). The run was mostly spent learning how to deploy programs in a cloud environment, and using Github. Very informative overview of many different technologies and coding practices. (AGILE, WATERFALL, SCRUM, etc) But nothing in-depth.
TL;DR Overall above average quality course. EASILY WORTH THE MONEY compared to other bootcamps. Career services sold separately (and still cheaper).
