TL/DR - Best Learning exp of my life - Batch#409
Read more Read less of Viktor's review
Graduated in Business-Administration, before LW I always worked as a Finance Analyst and had ZERO prior knowledge of actual coding. My interest on the subject begun three months ealier, when I realized I wasn't feeling relized in my career path. Knowing that, a friend from the area sent me the link of LW's bootcamp. And changed my life in doing so.I was really worried before starting on doing this remote because of the pandemic, but it never really felt remote. Being on the virtual tables the whole day with your collegues, doing the challenges and projects, and always in touch with the TAs for questions and help, I really felt the same way I would do in a presencial. And that by itself is already an achievementBut wasn't the only one, LW experience was just incredible!! From start to end. The team, the content, the course structure, the events, the job hunt support, the culture. Hell, even the flashcards. I know this sounds unbelievable, but I mean it, everything, every and each little part of it surpassed my expectations. If I had to name the best things about it I would have a hard time, but there are two that I would like to mention: One is Kitt, their learning plataform. Kitt is just outright amazing, so lets just take that out of the way.The second was the team. I never felt that I had teachers that cared so much about my learning like I did in Le Wagon. Matheus, Isa, Marcel, Andre and Milene are not only great TAs/Manager, but great people. (some of them are kinda crazy, but that's for the better).And I know that all of this may sound like too much fandom, like if I was in love with LW. Don't worry, I'm not.I'm just in love with coding, and Le Wagon is responsible for it.

Amazing experience and already missing it!!
Definitely choosing Le Wagon Sao Paulo changed my life! After two intense months in a full-time course I was capable of building my own project. I've never felt I could do it but with all the help and care from our teachers I did. Amazing atmosphere and experience! Thank you very much Le Wagon Sao Paulo!

Overall good experience

Being a complete Noobie on programming , I had a really good time learning Code at LeWagon. The teaching methodology is one of the best I've ever seen.PROSGreat people, great community, great projects ( the course is very project centered ) and of course Ruby is very friendly ♥️CONSVery backend oriented, so Front End is very very basic, so you'll have to learn it by yourself once the course is finished. Also, the RoR stack has lots of limitations, and the demand for RoR professional seems concentrated on few countries, specially on France. IAlso, the price is quite high, considering other options. The stack choice seems a bit "old school".If the stack was MERN stack, I'm confident I'd have more space in the programming market as a whole. But overall no regrets, very good experience.

Before starting LW, I worked teaching private math classes and needed to travel all over the city of Rio de Janeiro, to serve students from different locations. Then, in 2015, I came up with the idea of making an app for online classes, but I didn't have the technical knowledge to do it. I met LW in 2019, through a friend who was always present at the workshops, so I started to follow the school on Instagram. I read a lot about the course and definitely understood that I needed LW to start a new career.Even though it was e-learning (because of COVID), I was able to count on an excellent service system offered by the school, which has Milene, an excellent bootcamp manager and a wonderful team of teachers.In addition, we have lifetime access to the platform, which guarantees us to be in direct contact with any news and also to Slack, which is another wonderful tool.Now I feel ready to enter a new job market. And I'm sure I can count on LW for any kind of situation related to the new phase in my career.

Wonderful experience (Le wagon batch #408 SP)
The best things about Le Wagon were the classes, the people, the culture, course structure, flashcards, job hunt support, weekly talks and events, lifetime access to their learning platform and all its useful functionalities. Best decision I ever made was to sign up for this course. 10/10

I was interested in programming for a long time before joining Le Wagon and I was constantly trying to learn in my own time to try and get a job in the field. In my 9 weeks at Le Wagon, I learned more than I had in the years since I started learning programming. There's no comparison in the level of motivation and the amount of support between learning alone and learning at a bootcamp.At Le Wagon, you learn something new every day and then use that new found knowledge to solve a series of programming challenges. This formula is incredible for getting you to feel like you're constantly progressing and getting you to learn the topic in and out, it was addictive. Throughout the day, you work with a partner which is a lot easier than working by yourself and having someone there going through the same problems is great. It gives you a sense of camaraderie and competition that really boosts your productivity.I had a great time at Le Wagon, I made friends and learned an incredible amount.

In my previous role as a tech recruiter, I’d hear stories of the projects developers were working on and the impacts they were able to have in their industries. One day I took a leap and chose to join Le Wagon so I could finally explore that freedom in my career.I started the batch just as covid hit, so we switched to remote learning. I was impressed by how seamless the learning process was - we were constantly supported by staff every minute and everything was easily accessible online. The course is incredibly product focused which allowed my team of 4 to flex our knowledge quickly, building our interactive app DI-WISE from scratch in 10 days. Once you lean into the the process of learning quickly, it was so satisfying to realise how second nature coding had become! What stayed with me overall is the Le Wagon community - we became so close on the course, and Le Wagon go out of their way after the course ends to make sure you are never alone in the path you choose to take. We are looking forward to our batch party once isolation is over!

I joined Le Wagon to learn new skills I could complement with my current career path. Even though I had some previous experience with programming, I was never really good at it. At the beginning of the bootcamp I struggled a bit to understand some of the concepts but as we progressed everything just started to click. The practical approach and "product-first" mentality taken by the bootcamp allowed for things to sink in, which to me is amazing considering they go over a lot of concepts, all in 9 weeks.Whether you are looking to gain new skills for a job or wanting to bring your ideas to life, Le Wagon can teach you everything you need to get into tech.I would Highly recommend Le Wagon Mexico as a starting point to jump into a career in web dev. The branch in Mexico city has the most amazing and welcoming team to support you throughout your journey and even after the completion of the bootcamp.TLDR: Great curriculum, amazing people, unforgettable experience. LW truly delivers on their slogan: Change your life, learn to code.Shoutout to Batch #347 and the LWMX team!! You guys rock 🤘

I have always felt that the weakest point in my professional life was the lack of technical skills, last year I decided to learn how to code in order to fill the gap. After a lot of research, I decided to enroll in Le Wagon´s Fullstack Developer Program and I´m so glad I did. Le Wagon not only helped me get the foundations on all the technologies involved in web development, but it also encouraged me to build my own products since the program is geared towards entrepreneurship. Besides the knowledge (which would be worth it on its own), I also got to meet incredible people from all walks of life who inspired me and continue to support me in my journey. Hands down, the best money I have ever spent on education!

I debated doing a bootcamp for a while because I thought that if I just tried hard enough, I would be able to learn to code by myself. After doing the Le Wagon web development bootcamp I see that even though it is possible to learn on your own, it is just smarter to have people help you on the way. The environment of a bootcamp is simply a lot better for learning, and the 9 week course represents probably more than a year of learning on my own. Le Wagon's value is incredible with a third of the cost of similar bootcamps. I had a great experience with my teachers and fellow students and it was definitely one of the best decisions I've made to do this bootcamp.

A seamless learning experience

Le Wagon goes beyond and above. I have never had in all my school life such a seamless (and intense!) learning experience. Before applying, I noticed they were number #1 in all rankings. Now I understand why. It is in my opinion due to 4 main factors: The pedagogyYou will alternate a 1h30 lecture in the morning, then put in practice what you’ve just learned with challenges, then back together for a livecode at 5pm. Teachers always highlight their thought process, so you understand exactly how they do every step. All the concepts are presented to you gradually, until you can put it all together and make sense of it all. I felt challenged every day, but at the same time not overwhelmed with too much information. The balance was perfect. The online platformThe online platform really helped my learning. There you have a picture of the overall process, day by day, so you know exactly where you’re going. You can re-watch the morning lecture and access the slides and the class notes, presented in a super clear way (and I’m very picky!). You can also rehearse the core concepts with flashcards, the tool that’s helped me the most to retain information. The team’s professionalism and care for their students.The team (teachers, TAs, admin) is outstanding, really has their students’ best interest at heart. They are so supportive because they know it is hard (they have all gone through the bootcamp themselves), they are always here to cheer you on and it doesn’t feel fake. Much appreciated because most of the time you feel lost and stupid ;) Don’t underestimate how helpful it will be to have a supportive staff. The career week & alumni network I don’t know if other bootcamps do that, but Le Wagon has recently added a career week to the bootcamp, which is week 10, the last one. During that week, they help you with creating your resume & portfolio and they introduce you to developers and product owners so that you can get a feel of what it is like to work in those roles. I liked that holistic vision. They don’t just teach you the web development, they also equip you with tools for your career as a dev or product owner. Throughout the bootcamp, you also have the opportunity to meet alumni during lunch & learn. Every person we met was just so warm and welcoming and willing to share their experience, it was really inspiring. And last but not least, the alumni network is very active all over the world. You have access to a slack where you can contact any alumni anywhere in the world. They also share job offers. It really is a great community to be part of. It is a challenging program, not for the faint of heart, but if you’re willing to work hard, Le Wagon will make your experience as easy as possible.

Best decision I've ever made!

After assessing what I enjoyed most across my marketing roles, I decided I wanted to learn to code because what I wanted most out of my career was to be problem-solving and continuously learning and challenging myself.I had very little experience writing code prior to the bootcamp, but from day 1 we started learning and coding and building up our confidence each day. The bootcamp is intensive and is very well structured for people at different levels of experience and knowledge. Whether you're a beginner like me, or aren't completely new to tech, the programme is designed for anyone. The teachers are extremely knowledgable and supportive and the overall vibe and energy throughout the programme was amazing.On top of the tech skills I gained, I was also introduced to an amazing community of people who have helped and guided me throughout my journey. Best experience!

A new career path with Le Wagon

Learning to code in 9 weeks sounds amazing and I needed the courage to start this journey I am so grateful for! After moving to Montreal, I started working in the Gaming Industry and was very curious about coding. In 2020 I finally decided to start a new chapter in my life and joined Le Wagon Bootcamp. During those 9 weeks we learned Ruby, Javascript, Ruby on Rails… During Project weeks, that’s when all knowledge comes together and we create Web Apps we would never imagine!Something we needed during those 9 weeks was support from the teachers, and we had all the support we needed to complete every challenge and finish the day waiting for the next morning to learn something new. And the most important, Le Wagon leads you to be part of the Tech community, so you have much more support! I am glad to be part of the Tech Community now!

DO IT!! I promise you’ll thank me later. Enrolling in to Le Wagon was the best decision I’ve ever made.I was looking for a career change and looked in to coding purely because I like riddles. I chose Le wagon as it was recommended by a friend who had recently completed the bootcamp. I had no background in tech and now feel completely comfortable in building a web application from scratch, this is due to the intensive and rewarding structure of the course and the amazing staff. The teachers and teachers assistants are super knowledgeable and encouraging. The staff as whole were very inclusive and welcoming and I never felt as though I was being taught by teachers, but more like I was just in an office with friends and some friends just knew more than others.Aside from the tech skills I was taught, I was introduced to this amazing community which has given me connections all across the globe. I feel I made lifelong friends with the other students from my cohort and the staff.If you’re looking to explore the tech world as a new comer or looking to up-skill, in a practical, real world environment, working in collaborative teams, I highly recommend Le Wagon Melbourne.

Ótima forma de ensino
Gostei bastante dos exercícios, todos bem criativos e satisfatórios, e de trabalhar no meu projeto final. Foi uma experiência bem diferente de outros ensinos. Não só consegui permanecer firme nesses dois meses como aproveitei como pude.

Le Wagon is one of most famous bootcamp out there, is not cheap and after the course i know why, is hard to find a course that really worth the money, that one does, the material is out standing everything was thought to make sense, every class, challenges, the teachers, everything is out standing. I was a skeptic, I already had my share of code courses and never was afraid to spend full days studying , even then the time I most evolved in coding was through Le Wagon Bootcamp, Teachers and community always there to assist you, an opportunity to work in heterogeneous group, bump your heads and solve problems, why learning end to end development, to the way you think the product until you delivers it, this was a awesome experience.

Excellent bootcamp. Le Wagon's slogan "change your life, learn to code" cannot be more accurate. Faultless and would recommend to anyone who wants to learn how to code... challenging, but very rewarding.

Before the training, I was in consulting where I carried out several missions in the Web Marketing departments of large companies. (What interested me the most in these missions was the technical part) The technical aspects of these missions was the most exciting part to me. I found a real pleasure juggling between HTML, CSS, javascript and Excel/VBA to automate some tasks. After attending the presentation at Le Wagon’s bootcamp, a reconversion in Tech seemed obvious to me!3 months after the training, I have just launched my website of object givings between individuals. All this, thanks to Le Wagon course and a little patience!

My experience at this bootcamp was more than I expected. My intention when I joined this program was to merely be able to develop a web-app but I left, not only with the right conceptual tool-set to attack problem-solving critically and creatively, but with a great community on top of whose shoulders I can stand. The people behind this bootcamp have made sure to think about every possible detail that can benefit you in your learning process, and the quality of the experience clearly shows all of this. Plus, I didn't only learned a humongous amount of skills in a short period of time, I also had a lot of fun while doing it. Yoga classes in the afternoon were a great way of letting of some steam after some intense debugging, going out after a long day with my teachers and fellow students was always very entertaining. I think none of this was a mere coincidence. I think the Le Wagon model is constructed around this idea of creating the perfect context for the student to really take the most advantage of what is being taught to her.
