AI Software bootcamp | On campus, full-time Reviews

For the last 5 years I worked as a chef in a pizzeria and worked in restoration for 20 years. I was tired of working nights and weekends so I was looking to change my career path and find a job with 'regular hours’.Some of my friends are developers and after speaking with them, I realized that being a developer was what I wanted to do :)As soon as I decided to make the change, I looked for a way to make it a reality. After some research, I chose to join a bootcamp instead of doing a traditional degree. Le wagon had very good reviews and a friend of friend of mine hired someone who graduated from le wagon and was very happy with his work.I decided to join and it was an amazing experience. It was very challenging, both personally and technically but also very rewarding. I learned a lot of technical skills and programming languages, and I am still doing challenges almost 9 month after I did the bootcamp with the resources Le Wagon gave me. Finally, I learnt how to work in a team and to be efficient together. During the last 2 weeks, the “projects weeks”, we were ready to start working like real devs, from an original idea, to develop it, code it and present it. I presented it to the community and learned how to speak in public, which was not my strong suit. I’ve learnt so much from my experience at Le Wagon and am happy to continue giving back to the community. 

Le Wagon Tokyo gave me the opportunity to revive my career after 8 years being stuck teaching English in Japan. The full-time course feels like going back to university for a short semester, including meeting the other students who are learning alongside you. Not only do you get a fleshed-out training program that will prepare you to be a real developer, but by the last week the school is connecting you to a network of companies you can apply to and alumni who can give you a hand with job hunting.On the first day, they help you set up a development environment on your computer. After that, each day you are randomly assigned a another student partner and together you work on coding challenges to complete by the end of the day. They start in Ruby, then introduce SQL so you understand the database, then Rails to begin real web projects. They also teach JavaScript to round out your skillset and show you that all programming languages share commonalities. You also use Heroku to learn a very simple introduction to DevOps if you wish to follow that path.What I liked a lot was that the Le Wagon teachers will not only teach you the answer to problems you face while developing, but how to search for the answers to similar questions without their help. I found myself able to solve my own issues and troubleshoot after generalizing from advice the teachers gave me. Doug Berkley and Yann Klein were so patient with my sometimes slow progress and gave useful guidance while my team and I built 2 full-fledged web applications. Even if you don't end up using Ruby on Rails, you still learn to generalize the same concepts no matter what tech stack you end up using.The head of the school, Sylvain Pierre also spent a lot of time on the non-coding side of working in the IT industry. His lectures about giving a pitch for a project, using wireframes and Figma to design an application, how to write a web developer resume were crucial for my job hunting after the bootcamp. The final project pitch night actually turned into real practice for my job interview at the company I ended up joining. I'm proud to say that I'm now a Ruby on Rails backend developer at a fintech startup in Tokyo. Without the training, education, connections, and motivation I got at Le Wagon Tokyo it would not have been possible. Thanks for the unforgettable experience!

I made the bootcamp training at Le Wagon Bordeaux for n9 weeks (April 2022) to work in the web development world The unique vision of Le Wagon on teaching based on the 'buddy work', on daily 'flashcards' and on a big part allowed to exercises are making this formation a true experience, either on technical or human plan. I recommand to every person willing to work in the web development word to live this 2 months experience in Le Wagon with all of the students and the teaching staff, always here for us and making the moment a success. 

Doing Le Wagon was amazing ! I'm a graphic designer and had no clues in coding before doing the bootcamp. The cursus is really well done, and the overall experience was so intense and stimulating. We were learning new stuff every single day, the challenges were super nice to do and the teaching crew was amazing ! A unique experience that launched my carrier as full-stack developer. I'll never regret it 😄 Thanks Le Wagon !

I had worked as an accountant for 14 years.  I felt completely overwhelmed and didn’t feel motivated to gain mastery, or empowered to be innovative in finding solutions for my company/department.  I knew I liked working with technology and wanted a more creative outlet.  In my research for potential new career paths/skillsets, I saw web development was in high demand and could possibly be a good fit for my next move.  After I broke through the burnout and decided to quit my job, I knew I wanted to travel to Europe for a while to reconnect with the world and myself.  Why not attend a web development bootcamp to re-skill at the same time?  
It was an intense 9-10 weeks of learning, but it was such a joy to feel like I was learning something new and gratifying to see what I was able to create with just my beginner level of understanding.  The structure of the course also helped me to stay focused and effectively move through the coursework that I knew I would struggle with on my own.  The instructors and staff are very supportive and you really feel like you are “all in it together” to get to the finish line.  Post-bootcamp I have continued to receive support and encouragement from the Brussels team and classmates, and have also found the worldwide alumni to be accessible and helpful when I have reached out for help with coding questions.
I would recommend Le Wagon if you are looking to pivot to web development, gain a base-level understanding of how it can impact your business or business ideas, and join a growing alumni community of motivated and supportive individuals.

joined the Web Development bootcamp last year in Marseille, France. I thought of it as a good opportunity to get into the dev world.  And let me tell you that I was amazed.I take it right now as one of the best decisions I made.  Whether it's the teachers, the staff,  but also the courses and the way they are taught, the overall environment of Le Wagon. Everything from this bootcamp is top notch.  I cannot recommend it enough. You just have to throw yourself in this wonderful adventure.(Also, they are always here for you when you need it, even after your bootcamp.)

After studying law for the pasty few years, I decided to change my career path and to learn how to code. My brother who did the bootcamp a few years ago recommended me to do it as well, and that is what I did. Honestly it was a great experience! We learned so much in just 9 weeks. The staff and teachers were really nice with students and the overall  life on campus was amazing, the bootcamp is more than just studying it is also a social experience (you will meet a lot of new people from across the globe)!

It was a very good opportunity to discover the dev world and to achieve my professional conversion . I found the program extremely  complete, from the content's course to the platform and the staff. It was a 9 week of a intense coding and a beautiful human experience. After that bootcamp, I found Le Wagon's comunity very helpful besides the fact that i'm not a student anymore. The bootcamp in Marseille was an incredible journey! I recommand it !!!

After choosing to make a career change, I decided to explore doing a bootcamp. There were many options available to me, but in the end chose Le Wagon. Best decision I made, it was a calm and supportive environment with a fantastic team there to support you through the challenges. Once I finished the bootcamp, there are continued career support services helping you get ready for finding or a job, be

I am a business student at King's College, but I always wanted to learn how to code. Le Wagon was the perfect way to learn. The environment is the best I could hope for: the teachers are amazingly attentive, supportive and friendly. The rhythm is intense but you will learn so much so fast that you'll feel really proud when it's over ! As a girl, I felt empowered and included in this tech-environment, would recommend 1000% to everybody !!

With this bootcamp you'll learn everything that is needed to develop websites and web services from the ground up, besides meeting new people who might follow your interests.This course is a perfect fit for tech geeks who are curious about web development, whereas for people who are seeking for a career change need to be prepared for this intense course by being fast learners and quick thinkers.After learning the technicals the students will be divided into groups and have their knowledge and skills by developing projects together.Here you might meet a few challenges with your team members, but at least their skilled teachers are more than willing to help.

Before I decided to apply to a bootcamp I was working in another kind of industry but I always felt that something was missing. Le Wagon changed this, it gave me a big picture understanding of the tech world and the enough confidence to look for a position that fits me well, now I'm a RoR Back End Developer and one advantage of this is that I don't need to go to an office anymore. It's just perfect!
