Not sure how honest this reporting system is. Hopefully my review doesn't get deleted. 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.
Response from NucampJul 17, 2022
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 [email protected] if you are interested. Lastly yes all the reviews posted here are genuine, none of them are removed. Trust Report does not provide a review removal feature to Nucamp.
