Best experience of my life
Read more Read less of FELIPE ALBERTO BRANDALISE's review
I enrolled in the full-time Web Development bootcamp in January 2022 at Le Wagon’s Sao Paulo school. At first I was a bit insecure because I have spent the last 15 years working as a movie editor and creative director and for years thought about a career transition. But since the very first moment I felt welcome and secure to share my insecurities and doubts.Even though the course is very intense (and sometimes overwhelming), teachers, assistants and colleagues were always there to pick me up and help me. The mantra “Trust the methodology” is absolutely true: everyday you’re constantly using what you have previously learned. That way, you end up having a solid base to develop your knowledge, even if you don’t have any programming previous knowledge. The methodology of working in pairs or groups really gives you a sense of companionship and prepares you to real live jobs, building a sense of collaboration and constant communication. After you finish the bootcamp you have lifetime access to the platform with all the lessons and a session to be in touch with students from Le Wagon all around the world. There, you can ask for help, share knowledge and there are tons of ex-students sharing job opportunities. I thought that I was only going to learn how to code but the sense of community that Le Wagon have really makes me feel like I belong, even now, 6 months after finishing the bootcamp. I even go there from time to time to spend the day working and clearing doubts with the teachers and friends I made there. It was, without doubt, the best experience I have ever had.

Rewarding learning experience

Before starting Le Wagon, I was an English graduate and training as an acting student. I eventually felt the need for a career change. I had a growing interest in web development and had tried out a beginner python course and became increasingly curious to learn more and develop this skill. Upon researching the best places to start my journey into web development, I found Le Wagon. I had an amazing experience. I was introduced into a fantastic community of teachers and fellow students, where everyone was passionate about learning more and upskilling. Every day was equal parts challenging and rewarding, and the concepts we had learned each day were constantly put into practice. I particularly enjoyed the product-oriented approach at Le Wagon. Towards the end of the course, we began to work in development teams building our own web applications. I was really shown what is possible under the span of 9 weeks when you are committed to learning and practicing that knowledge; and equally importantly when you are within a supportive, friendly, ambitious community of people that are committed to becoming better developers. This was what I was fortunate enough to experience during my time at Le Wagon.

I choose Le Wagon Web Development to technically prepare myself for the next step of my career in tech, but I found more than that. The whole experience was incredible, stimulating, streamlined, fun, well organized and empowering for my professional future, where you learn by doing and working in teams to achieve projects. The course is very well structured and the teachers are very supportive and friendly.A truly worthy investment that I would recommend to anyone in search for a career change path or a purposeful learning experience.

Top-class learning and coding experience.Before joining the Le Wagon Web Development bootcamp, I was working in the marketing industry with a bit coding experience. I decided to join Le Wagon because I wanted to change my career in the tech industry and acquire practical technical skills. The course is comprehensive and of great quality with many learning resources (e.g. lecture slides, challenges, and flashcards ...). The teachers and tas are passionate and their support is beyond my expectation.Learnt a lot, met great people, and enjoyed a great atmosphere. I highly recommend Le Wagon and thank you all for providing such a life-changing experience!

You must prepare yourself well before you start the course, both with the time you need and with the material you have available for preparation. The beginning is challenging, and will get you used to thinking like a programmer, and performing tasks like a developer. It is rewarding to understand that you are capable of making code. And trust the method, it works!

Excellent experience overall!

I did Le Wagon in Paris this spring 2022. It was a very intense, yet rewarding experience. Le Wagon gives you the opportunity to strongly grasp web development (back & front) and product management concepts. Mornings are for the lectures with skilled (and patient) teachers, and afternoons filled with exercises on the topic. Whether it be for exercises or end projects, the bootcamp forces you to meet and collectively work with your pairs. That's a great introduction to team work in companies. So overall, go for it if you want to learn web dev concepts (if you're into product, or want to start your business). If you want to switch to a dev career, this gives you a strong basis on which to build upon.

I graduated by Le Wagon's Web Development Bootcamp. and it was a wonderful experience. The training is very intense, we have daily classes and exercises, so we learned a lot during the course. After graduation, the school gives us a lot of support and we receive guidance on how to build our resume, our linkedin and how to do an interview. I recommend Le Wagon to everyone, it is the best school for anyone who wants to become a complete developer.

Le Wagon provides an amazing access to learning strong knowledge about coding, best practice and workflows. The teaching process is very intense and effective. I particularly enjoyed the collaborative way of working for developers, the very friendly, benevolent and dynamic atmosphere, the great talks from Tech founders, the testimonies from alumni students who shared their experience and the career week organized at the end of the program to give us confidence in starting a career in web development. The network of alumni and shared resources is precious. Overall it was a very enriching and exciting experience with lots of great teachers. I encourage anyone wanting to learn how to code to apply to Le Wagon.

I've studied in respected institutions in Brazil and Europe throughout my academic and professional life. So I can assure you that you can't go wrong on Le Wagon. This Bootcamp was the best course I have ever done. It's organized, clear, effective, and right to the point. Le Wagon is not expensive because it is worth every dime, it's an investment. You don't simply learn how to code, you learn the developer's workflow and how to work in a team. You gain not just coding knowledge but professional skills. The material is excellent and you have unlimited access to it. The teachers and classes are great and you have full support the whole time. Their methodology takes you beyond your expectations. The environment they create makes you miss them after you finish the Bootcamp. It's amazing! And if still think these are not enough, you can also count on their alumni network. It's all over the world! So if you want to change your career or just want to start coding don't think twice. It can be a game changer in your life.

I did the Le Wagon - Web Development full-time bootcamp which is 9 weeks. The Instructors were amazing at explaining the curriculum in a clear concise(frequently down-to-earth) way. The curriculum is packed with information but is broken down in a way that I felt was understandable and relatively easy to follow. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone that is trying to break into the programming industry.

Le Wagon has been an amazing experience for me. Yes, it was intense and I did struggle at times, but the amount of knowledge you squeeze out from the boot-camp is insane. The system they have in place is well structured and polished. The highlight for me was clearly the project week, during this week you get to piece together everything you have learned throughout the boot camp. Also the amount of help and support you get from the teachers is impressive. Highly skilled teachers with a solid technical know-how, constantly helping you in any possible way they can. I highly recommend the boot-camp, I really do.

Amazing professional and human experience
I went to Le Wagon in Paris from October 2021 to December 2021. I had no experience in coding at all and after 2 months, I knew how to code a website, how the web worked and all the basics you need to apply for a junior web developer job ! I also need to mention that I met great people there and the teachers were really kind and caring. I highly recommend this bootcamp !

My experience at Le Wagon was simply the best both human and learning experience I have ever had. The teachers and TA's are amazing, they really give the best of themselves to help us go through it all and become developers. After a while they really feel like family.The program is really well designed, in such a way that even a total beginner, if he is willing to go through all the steps, can become a junior developer in 9 weeks of intensive training.I am very grateful to Le Wagon, they helped me find my way and I couldn't be happier for going through the programm. So if you feel like you want to become a developer, don't hesiatet, that's the place you want to go!

Over the past few years I have completed a number of courses (mainly for my previous career as a language teacher), but none have had the quality that Le Wagon offers and taught me so much in such a short time.
My experience with Le Wagon's remote course was worth every penny, without a shadow of a doubt. Although it was online, I can’t imagine having a better syllabus with more supportive and knowledgeable staff. The highlight was the collaborative nature of the programme. Every day, we had a buddy with whom we could discuss the days challenges, and during the final three weeks, we built two projects in a team of four. This is what makes Le Wagon unique. The teachers and teaching assistants were brilliant. They were very knowledgeable, encouraging and made the lessons fun and engaging, and ensured that everyone was keeping up with the pace. For those who struggled in the first few weeks, they did a great job of giving them extra help. As a previous teacher myself, I can definitely say that they genuinely care about their students' success and know what they're doing. Whereas some other bootcamps guarantee a job at the end of the programme, I have no doubt that Le Wagon was the best way to prepare me for a career in web development. I am confident that I have skills necessary to get a junior position, and after one week, I have already been offered a temporary internship.
Finally, it was so much fun (especially the coding tournaments!) and I met some amazing people who I'm sure I will stay in touch with. Le Wagon is great at building a community, which people stay a part of way after the end of the bootcamp.

Above and Beyond

Coming from a background in law, I was intimidated to venture into the programming world, and from the first interaction with Le Wagon, it's been nothing but encouragement and quality teaching. I am incredibly impressed with the community spirit built out by the staff in the Amsterdam office who regularly organised events for us all, as well as the quality of the teaching. Never did you feel alone or lost navigating the difficult topics, and no question was considered silly - it is a fun environment to learn a new set of skills and the curriculum is well structured to give you a strong foundation before you go ahead and ultimately build out your projects at the end of the course. I could not recommend it more to anyone thinking about getting into the space, it's been a super enjoyable adventure which ended up with a job shortly afterward! Above and beyond my expectations which I had already set high!

My experience at Le Wagon was nothing short of perfect. The curriculum is really well done and thought out as you learn step by step, and by the end of the bootcamp you are a fully fledged Front-End developer. I learned the skills to make me a good programmer and how to take a product from a concept to production in a short period of time. The structure of the day really helps you learn as in the morning you do a lecture then the rest of the day there are exercises based on what you learned in the morning and throughout the bootcamp. It's unbelievable what you can learn in just 9 weeks. The teachers, TA's and other alumni really help you along this journey and they are what makes this bootcamp both fun and super informative. It's intense but at the end I wished I could just start over again. I highly recommend this bootcamp to anyone who is considering to change their life and career.

Intense but very enriching!These 9 weeks have really changed my life and opened new perspectives. The Wagon program and all the teams are, I think, the best in the field of training to learn code. Thank you again!

Le Wagon has given me the tools to begin a new career in tech. Not only how to code but how to design an application from start to finish, how to communicate within a team, create work flows and they provide endless resources and support for future development as a Full Stack Developer. I highly recommend this bootcamp to everyone.The teachers are one for the biggest pros! They are super helpful and kind. They help you understand the problem and guide you towards the solution. They also support you in general, they have done this bootcamp and they know the struggles that come with the bootcamp and know how to comfort you when times are tough.There's no grading system which takes some of the pressure off and also motivates you to be better for yourself.This course is intense. It can be overwhelming if you don't make it your main focus for the 9 week duration. So stress can surface especially if haven't learnt in a while. I had some issues keeping up at times but I kept going, did my best and with the support from Le Wagon, the TAs and my fellow Alumni it was enough.

Great learning experience and very practical. The fullstack approach allowed me to have an overall and global vision of the development and deployment of a web application and understand the fundamentals in order to be quickly independent and to be able to carry out my own projects.Great staff and always happy to help.
