Python
The NUCAMP Backend, SQL, and DevOps with Python bootcamp is an excellent course. The instructors are amazing and the content is great for a part time course. You will work hard which makes the course worth every penny. - Doan TranAnalyst • Student • San JoseSep 16, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Price is right
NuCamp's pricing and pace is just right. The curriculum caters those who can dedicate 2-4 hours a day. I enjoyed my experience and feel that I am learning the fundamentals of Python. - GuillermoGraduate • ChicagoSep 15, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The course is kind of like a glorified Udemy or youtube course with your instructors really being more like TA's that you meet with on Saturdays. The instructors are probably the best part and are actually knowledgeable.
If you still want to take it, enroll in the frontend and NOT fullstack. you can upgrade at any time, even after graduation. But they will not let you downgrade without dropping out entirely, and they won't refund your money. - BonnE-commerceSep 12, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Back End DevOps
I was originally going to do data science at Springboard because they had a job guarantee. However, I learned I wasn't too in love with statistics and probabilities. I somehow found NuCamp and the DevOps program that is Python-based. I knew I wanted to continue learning Python but not Data Science. NuCamp costs substantially less though it doesn't offer a job guarantee. I did some research and saw that DevOps seemed to be in high demand, so I applied and was accepted.

NuCamp costs substantially less though it doesn't offer a job guarantee. I did some research and saw that DevOps seemed to be in high demand, so I applied and was accepted. I enjoyed the coursework and enjoy learning more Python. The Saturday video calls are long but very helpful in answering questions, reviewing coursework, and starting the challenging assignments.
I would highly recommend getting a little bit of knowledge of python through apps like Mimo before starting this course so you are not completely in the dark. - JonathanStudent • Web Development Fundamentals • Hybrid (Online & In-person)Aug 31, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
html,css, javascript intro
I like to say upfront I'm not being paid or will received any incentives for this review. This is optional for me to post. If you're just getting started and want to get your feet wet and have never code before, this is a great introductory course. Granted it's not the most in depth, you can only learn so much in 4 weeks, this does give you the confidence to build an html starter page, intro to css-where to put them(whether internal on the html or external link) and finally intro to java...I like to say upfront I'm not being paid or will received any incentives for this review. This is optional for me to post. If you're just getting started and want to get your feet wet and have never code before, this is a great introductory course. Granted it's not the most in depth, you can only learn so much in 4 weeks, this does give you the confidence to build an html starter page, intro to css-where to put them(whether internal on the html or external link) and finally intro to javascript. How all 3 are put together to make a website dynamically. I tried learning on my own through free tutorials online and couldn't get pass css, where to put the line of codes etc. This is not the most in depth course, but a great intro course for the money and will get you prepared should you decide to go for the full stack course. Teaches you how to start talking and thinking like a programmer. Yes there are other bootcamp out there more intense and more in-depth, but the prices are also 10 times the cost. For the prices and value, this is a great intro to see if programming or being a web developer is for you, takes only 4 weeks. As of this writing we just finished and wrapped up our final workshop assignment. I signed up for the full stack course and we're given a month's break before jumping into the new course. If you're already familiar with the basics of html, css and javascript, then you don't need to take this intro course and can sign up directly for their full stack course. The full stack course assumes you already have a working knowledge of setting a html boiler plate, knowing how to do internal or external styling of css and javascript. Our class had 12 people so the instructor to student ratio is excellent. This was my first time ever using zoom video conference and first time using Slack which is "facebook/twitter" like text chat program for asking genral questions or posting about job boards or programming help. - Victoria FoselliStudentAug 30, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
The Best decision I ever made!
What led me to register for the Nucamp bootcamp was the realization that I needed more structure and support in my self-learning.

Ultimately you will get out of the course the effort that you put in. It was worth it. The course served its' purpose. I learned enough of the fundamentals to move onto front-end/full-stack. - Angel O.Aug 30, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

I needed to change my careers. I searched for many online and in-person bootcamps. NuCamp was such a good price and the instructor was outstanding. I plan to use NuCamp for all aspects of coding bootcamps - Austin HansonStudent • Web Development Fundamentals • OnlineAug 30, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

The Web Development Fundamentals course offered everything and more to help get me started in the coding field. I would 100% recommend this class to anyone interested in coding, especially if you cannot take a lot of time away from work. - Austin Hanson - Tim CotronaStudentAug 29, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
