Really liked Web Fundamentals. It was a good refresh for me in some areas and in others I was still challenged because I found my weaknesses and know what I need to focus on to get better and keep moving forward.- AnonymousStudentMay 19, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Horrible experience by Nucamp
I want to migrate to a Backend Engineer role. I enrolled in the corresponding bootcamp at Nucamp. It was a giant mistake which I regretted since module 1, week 1! There were several reasons why I felt instantly disappointed:
- I was led to believe there was going to be a weekly workshop in which somebody would hold me accountable for my weekly work - no sign of that, I was all alone for 3 entire modules.
- The course materials are very slim in content and with mistakes. I learne...I want to migrate to a Backend Engineer role. I enrolled in the corresponding bootcamp at Nucamp. It was a giant mistake which I regretted since module 1, week 1! There were several reasons why I felt instantly disappointed:
- I was led to believe there was going to be a weekly workshop in which somebody would hold me accountable for my weekly work - no sign of that, I was all alone for 3 entire modules.
- The course materials are very slim in content and with mistakes. I learned very little things in about 16 total weeks of courses
- They correct your homework with AI, there is close to no real feedback from a real person
- The last module was without an instructor!!! Even if some personal issues prevented the instructor from taking the course, there was no backup option from Nucamp!
- The last module "DevOPs in public cloud" is absolutely horrible! They try to pretend that they teach you AWS, GCP and Azure in it (you have 1 week for each, with about 20 minutes of videos for that)! They don't provide sandbox environments for you to learn, they don't care how you get the public cloud environments, they rely on each student getting the free tiers for this case. BUT! If you have already used the free tiers, they don't care, they don't have an alternative for you. You complain, they don't reply to you anymore. Also, you acquire extra costs, they also don't care, they make you sign a release beginning of the course, so they don't share liability in case you get extra costs from the public cloud accounts.
- There is no flexibility and no understanding from them when you try to present your dissatisfaction with the course and ask for better conditions; they already took your money, they don't care
This was an absolutely horrible experience! Cannot stress that enough! I paid a lot of money for this and didn't get 10% of my money worth.
KEEP AWAY!
There are so many options there way more deserving of your time and efforts. Some of them are even free, most of them are way cheaper! Don't make the same mistakes I did!Stephanie of Nucamp

It was well worth it!
I wanted to learn a bit of coding and wanted to see if I enjoyed software coding. This was the right decision and I am glad that I started with Web development. I felt so accopmlished deploying my first website using firebase. The videos are super interactive and enjoyed the company of classmate and my professor Yvan. I want to keep learning more backend. Front end even though it was a good start. It is just the start.

Intense, beneficial, life-changing
I joined Nucamp because it had great reviews. I wanted to join a bootcamp that would help me gain confidence in my skills and help me prepare for a career in the tech industry. Nucamp really helped boost my confidence. Now, I feel like I am ready to take on interviews and have the skills that are needed to make a career in software development.

I Feel Born Again!
This bootcamp has jumpstarted a very special process for me and my career path. I am 24 and working as a line cook right now, and had no idea what this course would teach me. I am paycheck-to-paycheck and I needed to find a career that wasn't too "far-out" for me to obtain. While this bootcamp requires your best attention span and work ethic, it is SO rewarding and worth it to push through. You will be amazed at the things you learn here.

While this bootcamp requires your best attention span and work ethic, it is SO rewarding and worth it to push through. You will be amazed at the things you learn here. It will open up a new part of your brain you didn't know you could utilize. Coding is kind of like a puzzle, and once you figure out how to solve it, there is no greater payoff than that. I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for that "big shift" in their life. Now, I can properly construct a portfolio to reach out to local tech companies for a junior position. Then, every step after that is just apart of the bigger plan. One thing after the other. But you have to take that first step. You will be glad you went with NuCamp. - AnonymousStudent • Web Development Fundamentals • OnlineJan 29, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Affordable, Flexible, not great if you need your hand held
I chose NuCamp because it was by far the cheapest & most flexible program available. However, that does come with some downsides. I have only taken the Web Fundamentals course thus far, and cannot speak to the front-end or back-end sections. I found the first two weeks of curriculum to be very well put together and scaffold understanding in an effective manner. However, me and my classmates became more frustrated near the end of the course, as the materials were clearly becoming less...I chose NuCamp because it was by far the cheapest & most flexible program available. However, that does come with some downsides. I have only taken the Web Fundamentals course thus far, and cannot speak to the front-end or back-end sections. I found the first two weeks of curriculum to be very well put together and scaffold understanding in an effective manner. However, me and my classmates became more frustrated near the end of the course, as the materials were clearly becoming less thorough and often assumed we understood certain concepts that we had not yet learned. The course probably could have been a little bit longer to give more time with Bootstrap and deployment, but ultimately it felt that the curriculum just tapered off - many videos were absent and there were issues with following the code in the video vs written instructions that caused quite a bit of grief for me and my classmates. Our instructor was indeed helpful, but did not have the ability to answer all of our questions or help diagnose issues due to the limited meeting time. Ultimately, this is the type of camp that is great for the self-learner, but I would not recommend it if you are not already fairly comfortable with technology or don't know how to find answers for yourself. Not a good course if you need your hand held, but a good investment so far otherwise. - AnonymousStudent • Los AngelesJan 28, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
