NuCamp's backend development program sparked my interest because the course covered Python, SQL, and DevOps. At the time I discovered this course I was looking for something to help me elevate my IT career and NuCamp was exactly what I needed. The 16 week course covered a lot of topics and the instructors were more than helpful if we needed to understand the subject better. Now that I've completed the course, my plan is to secure a backend developer, software engineering related role.

We covered a lot of ground during the Cybersecurity bootcamp. I was challenged and supported each week with the right content, practice labs, and quizzes to keep my learning going while building my skills and confidence. The bootcamp has been worth my time, money, and effort.

I joined Nucamp’s Cybersecurity Bootcamp because I liked the idea of an affordable program with some instructor guidance. The schedule was flexible, and there were occasional moments where a topic was explained well. Unfortunately, the overall experience didn’t meet expectations. Much of the curriculum relied on extremely high-level master's level content, with large portions simply pointing to existing poorly orchestrated, sardonic YouTube videos. These videos weren’t integrated into a cohesive learning path, leaving major gaps in understanding. Hands-on labs were minimal and frankly unhelpful, and there was very little opportunity to apply skills in realistic scenarios. Instructor interaction felt stressed and limited, and the promised student support never became anything actionable. If you’re serious about building cybersecurity skills, you’ll likely find better value and stronger learning outcomes elsewhere.

I enrolled because it wasn't very expensive and it was taught by instructors who are currently in the field. This is also why I'm staying for another course; it's worth what you paid for, but no more. The midweek content is nearly all AI-generated and doesn't go into depth about anything. (-2⭐) The weekend workshops are still pretty good though, if your class is big enough and there are people at your skill level.

I enrolled in Nucamp because I simply wasn't getting anywhere on my own. Nucamp has given me the structure I needed and perhaps a network as well. It has given me the confidence to go the next step and seek further knowledge to build more complex code.

I read a few reviews on some forums and drew the conclusion that Nucamp was affordable. I have attended a much more expensive Full Stack bootcamp and withdrew due to the price and time limit of the course. This course was much more self-paced though the investment was still enough to motivate me to complete everything on time. My favorite instructor by far was Naasir Bush! Naasir was attentive and very enthusiastic about teaching. I recommend this boot camp for anyone who needs the extra motivation and has a few hours a week to dedicate to assignments plus 4 hours one day a weekend for classes!

I feel it was the right decision. I learned a lot. I needed a different direction in my job career and this was the way I wanted to go. I've always liked computers and why not learn more about it. I'm glad to join this career path.

Nucamp has been great very supportative staff and administration I really am learning a lot and love the structure
