AI Software bootcamp | On campus, full-time Reviews

TLDR: It’s a great program.To sum up my experience at LeWagon: Fostering, ambitious, and transformative. leWagon is in the business of fostering new growth to succeed. LeWagon’s teaching structure is designed around incremental lessons and tests, with the support of excellent mentors and teachers to help you thrive. As a theatre producer entering into the world of tech, I never once felt out of place at LeWagon. The program sets an ambitious pace, starting from scratch and ending with two full scale projects in a team after just nine weeks. Choosing LeWagon was one of the greatest choices I could make, and I am coming out of it a different person. I am transformed not through losing my other skills and abilities in my previous work experience, but accumulating more skills that prepare me for the future.

On the surface, Le Wagon and the other bootcamps may appear to be the same (except Le Wagon was shorter and less expensive than others, but in the end that wasn’t even the main reason I joined). I went through the interview process for Le Wagon and another bootcamp at the exact same time and Le Wagon felt notably different from the start. I felt like I was treated more like a student than just  a paying client. Joining Le Wagon and getting to know the staff and teachers only validated that I had chosen a good community with interesting people and teachers who were truly interested in me.You probably already know that bootcamps can be intense and stressful. As expected, we learned a ton in a short period of time and worked on numerous individual challenges, as well as two large group projects. We covered wide range of topics (obviously, it’s full stack) and gained a lot of experience - building apps, working with peers of different skill levels, designing, debugging - while having lots of fun along the way. But Le Wagon wraps all of those expected benefits up with engaging, interesting, and friendly people who care. And then that is built on a large alumni base and an international presence. For me the community factor makes all the difference.

After an intensive 9 weeks, I can safely say attending Le Wagon in Lisbon was one of the most rewarding experiences I've taken part in my life. From the fast-paced learning environment, well-structured course, great campus, amazing teachers, ta's, and staff plus all of my colleagues that accompanied me through this journey, I can't say anything but high praise for the experience.Looking back I'm still sometimes in disbelief about how much I was able to take in and learn in such a short amount of time and how prepared I feel to take the first steps into the tech industry after coming from a completely different area.For anyone looking for a Web Development Bootcamp, if you are in Lisbon, don't miss out on Le Wagon!

Simply the best place if you want to learn to code! I went there knowing almost nothing about code (coming from a financial background) and today I'm fully able to build a tech product.It only took 9 (intense) weeks, supported by the best staff and buddies, to go from learning the basics to building a fully functionnal tech product.And if you don't belive me, just check our final project : http://thefoxtail.me10/10, would recommend ;)

Before going to Le Wagon I was working in a BioMarket after studying advertising. I wanted to change my life on the long term and I don't regret it ! The training was intense but I never felt lost or behind. The platform and teaching process is very well though and the buddy system helps build a good spirit among the students. You end up with a solid background and good enough knowledge to go and live the code life !

Before joining Le Wagon I had just graduated from university having studied English and Creative Writing. While I enjoyed my degree I felt completely lost when it came to what I was going to do next. That’s when I decided to start looking into coding and found Le Wagon. After starting the course I realised I had made the best decision. I enjoyed everyday, even when things weren’t easy. The TA’s were amazing and so supportive throughout! They kept telling us to trust the process and they were so right! Before Le Wagon I wouldn’t believe you if you told me I would learn to and actually build my own Web App in just 9 weeks. I am so grateful for Careers Week as it helped me find the direction that I was lacking before joining the Bootcamp! 

Le wagon bootcamp was a very exciting challenging experience for me. Beyond the coding itself, I have gained an understanding of full stack web development concepts from product design to MVP, and the skills to collaborate on projects on GitHub with the other developers. The learning environment is fast-paced, exciting and fun. Le wagon staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. I was very impressed by the teachers; they are always patient, accessible and were able to put themselves in the students’ shoes to explain difficult concepts in a clear manner. They have a real passion for sharing their experience and expertise. Moreover, having access to the “Le Wagon global community” beyond the bootcamp is a fantastic resource for networking and meeting interesting new people that entered the tech world coming from untraditional backgrounds across cities. One of the highlights for me was demo day, where we got to present our final team project, put together in less than 2 weeks.

Before the bootcamp, I was lost in my future path. I didn't really know what I wanted to do but I did know that I love coding. It's easy to learn coding online nowadays however there's not a lot of structure learning on your own, I didn't know where to start.I was looking around for a bootcamp for guidance and landed on Le Wagon. I loved the fact that there was an in person option. I had such an amazing experience with wonderful people. Not only did I learn how to code but I have learnt how to build a project with teammates, which I am very proud to present; Seamify, my final project!

For the past decade, I've worked in IT as a Support Analyst. The company reorganization was the reason for my career change, I needed challenges and new skills. I always wanted to code but didn't take the right steps until I enrolled in Le Wagon's Full-Stack Web Development full-time program in Montreal. Through the program, I've built confidence by presenting my project in front of a live audience. The teachers are knowledgeable and helpful, and this program went beyond my expectations. Every day you learn something new that you can apply through challenges, 9 weeks later, you look back and you think: "How did I make a web application?". This is the best decision I've ever made.

I attended the Le Wagon Web Development bootcamp (full-time) in January 2022, coming from a background as a telecommunications engineer. I’d spent around 3/4 months teaching myself the basics using online resources before deciding to bite the bullet and commit to the bootcamp.I was super nervous about quitting my job to pursue a complete career change, but now that I’ve completed the bootcamp I can say that I absolutely loved it and I’d recommend it to anybody considering learning to code. The structured learning format meant that I probably learned more on the first week of the course alone than I had done in the previous 4 months trying to teach myself. Make no mistake - the course is very intense and fast paced, but how else can you learn all the skills of a web developer in just 9 weeks?The course was presented in a hybrid format (have the option of working from home or on campus) which I found worked really well, but I definitely felt like I gained more from being on campus in person.The thing that I enjoyed most about the course was the people - the teachers, staff & other students.In my batch, I met some amazing students who I’m still in contact with & there is a very social culture.The teachers & staff are also so friendly and supportive, and the majority of them are graduates of the course themselves so they know exactly how you feel - any anxieties you might have etc. This really reassured me whenever I was having any self-doubts about whether I was keeping up with the pace of the course.

Before applying to Le Wagon, I used to work as a Bank Clerk coming from an archaeology background. The unprecedented Covid pandemic hit, and I had to find a way of reinventing myself and acquiring a new skill set that would provide me an assured future, a way of settling down. That’s how I discovered Le Wagon’s Web Development bootcamp, an immersive 9-week course that completely changed my life. Not only for the unmeasurable valuable knowledge obtained, but for the equally worth friendships made along the way as well. If you ever decide to take part in the bootcamp - I can assure you that it’s going to be one of the most intense, insightful and fast-paced experiences. But as they say, time flies when you’re having fun, right?

After a couple of failed attempts to start coding through online courses I signed up for the full stack web development 9 weeks bootcamp at Le Wagon Madrid. It was an amazing experience from beginning to end! The course is very well organized and structured, with excellent tools and a great environment that help you make progress every day. Teachers, staff and students were all super committed in helping everyone make the most out of this collaborative learning experience. Highly recommend it if you are thinking of taking your first steps as a developer, or just want to close the gap with technology teams, which was my case as an industrial engineer working in operations and business tech organizations. Thanks Le Wagon for everything! 

While studying bioengineering I came across several elements of coding which I was always curious about and I felt the need to learn more about it. After some research I found Le Wagon and liked its intense pace and learning environment. I did the 9 week bootcamp in Madrid, batch 785. I learnt a lot in a short amount of time, HTML, CSS, Ruby, Rails, JavaScript and lots of other things. It’s amazing everything you can learn in a short amount of time. Everyone is very friendly and always willing to help. I met very interesting people from all over the world and made lots of friends. You’re coding everyday, and with help from the teachers and TAs you end everyday knowing a lot more. My experience was great and I would recommend Le Wagon to anyone who wants to start a career in web development and is committed and willing to devote a lot of energy and hard work.

I used to be a communication officer in a concert venue. During covid, my job didn't make sense anymore as it was more cancelling tickets than organizing concerts. I needed a change of career and the Wagon web development bootcamp was the right fit for me. A short and intense 9 weeks course to get the basics of web development ! I really enjoyed the bootcamp at le Wagon Brussels. The crew is really doing it's best for us to feel like we're part of a big family and is still there for us after the bootcamp for the applying to a job part.
