Everything you need to know
We answer the most common questions about the bootcamp.
What are the minimum requirements?
You need the NIEVA Python Mini-Bootcamp or basic knowledge of a programming language.
Do I need to know math or have a technical background?
No. This bootcamp is designed for those who want to specialize in backend. You don't need knowledge of databases, Docker, HTTP, or APIs.
Are the live sessions recorded?
Yes. All live sessions are recorded and edited, and you can watch them from your dashboard on NIEVA.
What if I can't attend a live session?
No problem. You'll be able to watch the recording, download the materials, and keep pace with the rest of the group. You'll also have access to the support channel to resolve questions.
Can I access the materials after finishing the bootcamp?
Yes. You'll have access to the guides, recordings, and resources for 6 months after finishing the bootcamp, as long as all invoices are paid if you chose the monthly payment plan.
Will I get feedback on my deliverables?
Yes. You'll receive general feedback on your progress and your final project through our selected messaging app.
Is the bootcamp 100% online?
Yes. The entire program is remote and you can join from anywhere. You only need a browser and an internet connection.
Is this bootcamp enough to get a job?
We don't promise employment, and that's intentional. What we do promise is that you'll finish with real deployed projects, direct feedback, and a portfolio you can show. What you do with that is up to you. We've seen students use it to change careers, get promotions, and build their own products. But we won't tell you it guarantees a job because it always depends on multiple factors.
What language is the content in?
All content is in Latin American Spanish. The tools and resources are explained in Spanish, although some external documentation is in English (with reading guidance when needed).
