AI Software bootcamp | On campus, full-time Reviews

I absolutely loved Le Wagon and had the best 10 weeks. The course structure, the teachers, the community: it's all perfectly thought-out and executed. I wanted to learn to code to make a dramatic career change from publishing to tech, and Le Wagon helped me to do so in just 9 weeks. Despite the entire bootcamp being held over Zoom (in lockdown in January 2021), the teaching standard and community still felt extremely strong. I couldn't recommend Le Wagon more. 

During the summer 2020, I was looking for a change in my career. After being a classical musician for more than 10 years, I needed something new and coding seem like the right thing for me. When I got in touch with Le Wagon Mtl I knew I was at the right place. Changing careers is not easy and from the very beginning the staff at Le Wagon got me in touch with other musicians who had completed the Web Development bootcamp and all had nothing but good things to say about the program. Now, after being done with the bootcamp, I can reflect on the 9 weeks I have spent there and I could not recommend it more! Teachers and staff are there for you ALL of the time, the education is one of the highest I've ever experienced and the program is build so you maximize your learning. I am really proud to be part of the alumni from Le Wagon!

Le Wagon demolished two walls I encountered when I started self-studying coding: how to combine multiple technologies effectively, and how to collaborate with others. The curated curriculum gives you a solid understanding of how all the parts work together and you're convinced you know it because you build the apps to prove it. I never felt stuck because teaching assistants were always on call for help on the nichest of my very niche problems. But the greatest part of Le Wagon is that it's all about collaboration from day one. You see how others code via the buddy system and daily livecode sessions, you become set up and intimately familiar with tools like GitHub and Figma for collaborating with anyone anywhere, and as the cherry on top you learn techniques to work in a team to design, build and pitch two apps. Plus the whole thing is just plain fun. We were eager to come in each day to the point people always showed up early for pre-lecture coffee and chat, and we did a fair amount of celebrating together regularly outside camp. Besides coding skills I've come out the other end with dear friendships. Camp's over now but not really thanks to the lifetime global alumni chat membership I'm connected to active Le Wagon grads around the world for continued learning and networking. Le Wagon offers a package you won't find in a Google search: a global community for life that knows what everyone's been through, and the knowledge and confidence and support to land your dream job and continue learning. The school is affordable for what it offers and I managed to pay for the entire tuition and more with my first freelance gig.

 Can’t recommend it enough! I read reviews on Le Wagon before signing up and saw so many positive reviews that I had high expectations (and a small amount of doubt--I mean how could there be so many great reviews?)  Well, I completed the bootcamp and I can tell you truthfully that it's a truly great and amazing experience.  To start, the curriculum is tried-and-true. I definitely stumbled along the way since there's A LOT of information, but was told to "trust the process" and sure enough, it all clicked at one point.  The staff and teachers are amazing! Of course, this one will be more dependent on location, but I'm sure the teachers, no matter the location, are great.  The alumni network is also vast and helpful. You get to join the alumni Slack channel which has over 10,000 graduates, and has articles, resources, job openings, etc.  It's no small price to pay, but it's actually significantly cheaper than other bootcamps I looked up, and everything you get during and after the bootcamp is easily worth it. 

If you are looking for a bootcamp in Tokyo,  this is the number one so far.It may sounds a cliche or just a marketing phrase but when they said you don’t need any previous knowledge or background related to coding is totally true. I have engineering background but in a totally different area.At the very first day I couldn’t even code a simple method that prints out your full name, and now I’m just about to get a job as a web developer, is unbelievable how in just 9 weeks (full-time course) they can give you the right skills and tools to be fully prepared for the real world as a web developer.Teachers and staff members are just amazing, and is not just a bootcamp, is a whole community where you can always get a help from them even tho after completing the bootcamp and also they can help you in your job hunting, have access to lectures  for ever, access to new events, etc.To sum up, my experience was 10/10, it worth every single yen, if you want to change your career and explore new fields, this is the best investment that you can do for yourself.

 Hi, I'm Marie, 28 years old from Paris. Right after high school, I started to work fulltime multiple jobs as I needed to care for my family, find a condo etc. Studies were not an option back then. I ended up working in sales in a group that handles order distribution of medical equipment to professionals. When I finally was in a place to plan my future, I started to look for an efficient way to learn to code (my childhood dream). I spent days and night practicing on free courses on many platforms, but that wasn't enough. A friend of mine told me about Le Wagon so I looked it up and loved the idea of a bootcamp with a very strong and active community, and I thought "why not me?". Attending Le Wagon bootcamp was the best idea possible for me, I went from "hello world" to a full functionning website in a couple weeks and learned a lot about teamwork. It's really challenging and forces you to adapt your mindset to various situations. Finally, working every day with different buddies was beyond awesome and the teachers' team were extra supportive and comforting in hard times. Best experience ever, 14/10 would recommend to a friend. 

Choosing to do the Le Wagon Web Dev course was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made! I had previously been working in salesy roles for startups but I wasn't loving it and the pandemic meant I had to reassess things career wise. I delved a little into coding and found that I enjoyed it but learning in the structure of a course would probably be the best way forward. When I looked into what was out there all I ever heard was glowing recommendations for Le Wagon and they really lived up to the expectations! I still can't quite fathom just how much I've learned in the space of 9 weeks and not only how well prepared I feel for a career in tech but also how much support and relief I feel from having the Le Wagon community to lean on. I would recommend learning to code to anyone now as I feel it is such a vital skill to have in the 21st century and I can comfortably say I think learning it with Le Wagon is one of the best ways to do so. If you're still on the fence about coding or the bootcamp I would really recommend attending any of Le Wagon's many free events, they're super fun and give you a really good taste of what the community and course is like!

Hi, my name is François FAUVEL.After 25 years of professional experience in the tourism, hotel and sports sector, as a general manager, I was looking for a new life.I therefore took the opportunity of an economic lay-off to engage in a professional reconversion process as a FullStack Web Developer.After a benchmark of different training courses, I chose Le Wagon for three reasons:- the duration and optimisation of the 9-week course;- the pedagogy based on learning by doing;- the alumni network and the lifelong access to courses, informations on technological evolutions, ... !The 9 weeks of training were dense, intense and rhythmic... that's why I chose Le Wagon!These 9 weeks have also been a beautiful and rich human experience, with passionate, motivated and friendly people... an adventure shared on a daily basis and memories engraved forever!

Hello. My name is Nicolas and I attended Le Wagon Montréal Full-Stack Web Dev bootcamp in January 2021 (Batch #528).While having a lot of difficulties finding a job in my original field (Logistics) because of the Covid-19 pandemic, I decided to learn new competencies.As I've always been intrigued by programming and by the internet, I started looking for web programming courses and found Le Wagon Montréal.After a month of asking questions through email conversations, I finally decided to jump into this new adventure. During 9 (very) intense weeks of learning, I encountered amazing people and discovered things unknown to me before. Le Wagon Montréal's staff is very attentive to your well-being. The teachers are patient, considerate, and will always be there to help you and answer your questions. I did not just learn programming. I did not just sit in the morning in front of my computer listening to the teachers. The program is perfectly shaped for students to be challenged and have fun at the same time.In only 9 weeks, I am now able to build a website from scratch, with basic (but still very important) features. Just remember that 9 weeks before the end of the bootcamp, I knew nothing !Jumping into Le Wagon Montréal's bootcamp was definitely one of the best experience of my life.

I spent the last 10 years working as a Support guy, from big companies to start-ups, and I always felt I was missing something crucial. When some friends of mine told me about Le Wagon, it instantly became one of my goal. I waited for the right timing in my career to jump in this adventure... And now I know I should have done this a long time ago.Le Wagon is a fantastic moment of your life where you’re surrounded with positive and supportive people who are teaching you how to code. During these 9 weeks, I never felt left alone and was able to go above and beyond the goals I thought I could achieve : I would have loved to stay for another 9 weeks and keep training.Le Wagon was much more that I thought and I miss a lot being there, working with my teammates. I strongly recommend this incredible journey if you’re looking for your next learning adventure.

I had the chance to learn how to code via Le Wagon and it was the best decision that I’ve made. The program is intense we have to be ready for these 9 full-time weeks, but so interesting and well organised. I’ve learnt so much through the program than I could have on my own.The teachers are all amazing because they were students before us and helped a lot when we had difficulties. They also gave us really good advices and tips and I was particularly touched by their kindness.Being everyday in pairs with a different « buddy » was also really helpful, we struggled together and we don’t feel alone.Joining Le Wagon is a big step for my career change, the journey was just amazing and I’m proud to be a part of the community now!Thank you Le Wagon!

Before joining Le Wagon I was working as a Private Chef, I’d worked in Fine-Dining restaurants, worked in farming, among others. I also have a degree in Mech Eng, but I’d always been lost about what I enjoyed doing. Then covid hit and I started to teach myself coding, using some online courses and got the bug for it. It was something that really took hold and I wanted to learn more in a structured manner. I came across coding bootcamps in my research for how to take this skill further and that’s when I discovered Le Wagon. After finding out more about it , I decided to take the leap and go for it!The bootcamp truly has been a career changing moment, it was fast-paced and really intense but that’s what I was looking for. In 9 short weeks I went from having practically no coding skills, to being able to develop fully working and in production apps. There are two main group projects, one being a clone along the lines of AirBnB and the final project being a two week sprint, where we designed, built, tested and launched the app. The staff, TA’s and in particular all my fellow batch mates are so open and welcoming and have a great amount of knowledge and skill and even though it was all remote it was a fun and enjoyable experience. Post bootcamp, coding really has taken hold and I’m eager to keep learning and developing my skills and working on some cool side-projects. I can’t wait to start the job search now and for my career to really begin. 10/10 would highly recommend it to anyone who’s interested in coding and wants a structured and intense learning experience. 

 I super recommend the Le Wagon web development course! The Full-time program was a bit intense but I enjoyed it a lot. Before Le Wagon, I was doing a lot of online courses, but I had no idea how to start building a web application. By the end of the Bootcamp, I was able to deploy the app we built from scratch. We had the experience working as a team to understand how is the real world working as a programmer. 

I’m a former strategy consultant of 3.5 years and I’m a maker. I used to work in small teams on 4-12 week projects advising company boards on how to approach new markets, organize their business units or improve their performance. This was highly analytical but I wasn’t building anything, except for excel models and dashboards. I applied to Le Wagon hoping it would give me the skills necessary to bring to life side-projects I could only dream-up in my head and meet people from various walks of life which was bound to help me make a positive change in my career. The programme really delivered on its promise, I can build web apps from scratch, those side-projects are coming to life and I’m ready to change jobs to build companies instead of advising them.

Before the bootcamp, I spent half my career as a planner in the retail sector. I was stressed, not enjoying my job and knowing that if I move to another company in a similar role it would eventually be the same cycle over again. I needed a change! Having been interested in coding for many years but afraid to try because I had these ideas in my head that coding is only for the super smart and it’s too late, I’m too darn old to start learning to code. Till that day I just said stuff it, just do it! That was 6 months ago in October 2020. On the 12th of March 2021 I completed a 9-week coding bootcamp with Le wagon London. I presented my teams final project and graduated from Le wagon. I’m not going to lie, it was intense but so rewarding. From the lectures to the Le Wagon staff, they have made this journey so worth it! Le wagon also provide an additional week, called careers which is used to help you update your CV, prepare you for technical interviews and more which has aided me on my job search. I believe Le wagon has given me the tools for  my journey in becoming a software developer. Thank you again.

I decided to follow the 9-weeks intensive program at Le Wagon Paris after 20 years of professional experience (10 years in strategic consulting + 10 years developing my own company). I’m now launching a start-up in digital services, and I wanted to become knowledgeable enough to be able to code by myself, to recruit and manage the best team, to understand the critical issues, and to get in touch with a smart network of professionals. I strongly recommend Le Wagon for all these aspects. Their teaching methodology and ambition are solid and efficient. Very smart people and program !

 After a few years in the legal industry, I applied to the Wagon in Paris hoping for a career change. The many feedbacks I heard proved to be true. In addition to being a unique and enjoyable experience, I learned at the Wagon in only 9 (but intense) weeks how to create a website from scratch and also learned to think in a technical way, which allows me to continue learning today. This is definitely my highlight of 2021.
I would recommend this course to anyone who would like to change their life and would like to acquire technical skills, nowadays in the digital area! 

The Le Wagon web development bootcamp was an incredible experience! I was deciding between 3-4 different bootcamps and I am so happy I ended up going down the Le Wagon path. The team brings a unique global perspective to software development, teaching, and future career path mapping that is unmatched in my opinion. We spent more time focusing on the fundamentals of Ruby, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, and SQL which I found to be more beneficial than any specific framework as these frameworks can change over time. I was also very impressed that there were so many members of the staff covering topics each week vs. one or two teachers. It made for a very refreshing teaching experience. To close out the bootcamp, Le Wagon also offers a Careers Week where they give you advice on technical interviewing, CVs, etc. and connect you with their massive alumni network across the world.  Overall, I highly recommend Le Wagon if you are deciding between bootcamp courses!
