AI Software bootcamp | On campus, full-time Reviews

I took full-time web development courses at Le Wagon in Tokyo to learn programming and start building basic apps for business. It was an intense, demanding and rewarding experience. It has also been as much fun as it has been frustrating. I came every morning to Meguro class hall and worked there until the end of the afternoon for two entire months. In the beginning, we did lecture in the morning, then pair programming in the afternoon until the last hour, which was dedicated to live coding. Teacher assistants were always around to give a hand, as I was all the time bumping into a hardship I could overcome as a beginner. I was a beginner but some students were already experienced in some aspects of programming.Our group was extremely diverse, with people living in Japan for years and other students coming from abroad thanks to weak Japanese yen and discovering Tokyo, some of us speaking two or more languages, within a vast age range (from people under 20 to people over 45). The result was a friendly learning batch full of curiosity. Once we acquired programming basics, I joined a team of four students and we worked on a real-world app project during the last weeks. My teammates were motivated and everyone contributed. We planned and executed like pros, made many beginner mistakes, and I learned a lot from these last weeks. The last day of the BootCamp was demo day, and we presented our app to a full room.

I recently had the opportunity to complete the Le Wagon Web Development Bootcamp in São Paulo, and it was truly a transformative experience. Over the course of an intensive 9-week program, I was challenged to step out of my comfort zone and dive headfirst into the world of technology.At first, I was a bit hesitant to join, mainly because of a few negative reviews I had come across about bootcamps in general. Many people doubt whether it’s truly possible to learn so much in such a short period of time. However, I’m here to prove that, with dedication and focus, it is absolutely achievable!The curriculum was comprehensive, covering essential tools and technologies like JavaScript, Ruby, SQL, HTML, CSS, Ruby on Rails, Figma, Git, GitHub, and more. Through hands-on projects and collaborative teamwork, I gained practical experience that prepared me for real-world challenges in web development.What made this journey even more special was the incredible support from the Le Wagon team and my classmates. The instructors—Eduardo Piccin, Laura Amaro, Patricia Kihara, Nicolas Enne, and Roberto Barros—were outstanding, offering guidance and inspiration at every step. Their expertise and encouragement were pivotal in helping me develop both technical and problem-solving skills.Overall, this bootcamp was a game-changer for me, equipping me with the knowledge and confidence to pursue a new career in web development. I’m excited to apply the skills I’ve gained to impactful projects and am grateful to Le Wagon for making this possible. If you're looking for a program that combines technical rigor, collaboration, and inspiration, I highly recommend Le Wagon! 🚀

Before attending the bootcamp, I worked as a Product Engineer in the hardware IT industry. While I enjoyed my role, I often felt the need to expand my knowledge on the software side. After some research, I discovered a genuine interest in web development and decided to pursue it further.I specifically chose an onsite bootcamp because I wanted to fully immerse myself in the learning environment, engage more actively in the classroom, and build meaningful connections with my peers.The 9-week program was intense and challenging, but it was also unique and unforgettable. I learned so much and gained the confidence to pursue what I truly want to do in life. The collaborative team environment was a major highlight, making the learning experience even more enjoyable.Most of the instructors were highly professional and genuinely committed to helping students succeed. The TAs were all fantastic, and I want to give a special shoutout to Adrian—he was outstanding! His support made a huge difference.In conclusion, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for all the efforts Le wagon has put into my batch. Wishing Le Wagon continued success in 2025 and beyond.

Very fast-paced courses but well-built to make sure you keep following when you struggle and still give you challenges when you pick up the concept quickly. We had a great atmosphere and relations between staff, teachers, and students. It was a pleasure to meet everybody and learn something new every day!After Le Wagon Bootcamp you won't be an expert but you will have strong fundamentals to start working on projects by yourself or with a team and learn even more.I think it's a good way to kickstart a web development learning process in only 9 weeks!Excellent experience overall :)

My experience at Le Wagon was intense, rewarding, and completely life-changing. The bootcamp pushed me to think differently, take on challenges, and develop new skills that I never thought I’d master. The support from the staff and the community made it all the more valuable. I left with not only a solid tech foundation but also a new sense of confidence in my abilities. It was a tough ride, but I wouldn’t change a thing!

Le Wagon was recommended to me by my partner who is a graduate of the data science bootcamp a few years back and also my brother and his wife who have long careers in IT. In retrospect it was a good decision to do some self studying before the bootcamp. Some helpful resources were Codecademy and Codewars. As I had no previous experience with coding this gave me an important head start and instead of learning basics from scratch I was able to do well during the first weeks and I feel like it let me learn more. Also after finishing the bootcamp I am aware that there is so much more to learn but I think it gave me the tools to know how to do research and where to look.

This is one of the most intense learning I have had. I found myself studying in some evenings or during the weekend. However it is all worth it! The learning curriculum covers all essentials to gain a holistic view for web development, from front-end, back-end, tools, platforms, a bit of product development. I transformed from a non-coder to a coder --- which all thanks to this intensive 12 weeks. I love the setting of live lecture - challenges - live code mechanism. The challenges everyday were well selected and relevant to the course. It helps me learn and apply for what I learnt. The lecturers and TAs(teacher assistants) were really helpful as well. Project weeks were the highlight where I got the chance to work on real projects and make an application functional, but these were also the most intense weeks as well. At the end of the bootcamp, we got one extra week for career, where we can update our CV, LinkedIn, Github pages and get ourselves job search ready. Overall I am very satisfied with it. One concern I have to the curriculum is that we didn't learn enough javascript which is the most popular language at the job market right now.

From the start, it's a very intensive learning environment, but it's completely worth it if you give the time and dedication. While probably possible to get everything done in the 9 am - to 6 pm course hours, I needed to assign a lot more time to properly understand the content. This was made easier by all lecture recordings being made available in advance so I could always watch one before the live lecture as preparation. The project weeks give great insight into the process of developing an app from scratch (Web Dev BootCamp) from the idea conception to launch into production and valuable skills like code review and coding in a team.The careers team are very helpful too, they have sessions throughout the BootCamp and also after you graduate. You also remain part of the LW slack channel and have contact with all of the shared channels to reach out to other alumni.I secured a place on the government-funded BootCamp so didn't have to pay for it, I'm not sure if I would have fronted up the money at the start of the BootCamp (due to my financial situation) but it has the potential to be a valuable investment if you make the most of the resources made available to you over it's duration. 

Le Wagon helped me achieve a goal that I didnt 100% think I could accomplish. The bootcamp is very intense but following the structure and trusting the process, everything begins to fall into place. The Teachers at Le wagon are incredible, all of them love what they do and it quickly become infectious, no question is too small and nothing ever goes unanswered. The support nextwork helps you build confidence and encouragesyou to really challenge yourself.
