AI Software bootcamp | On campus, full-time

J'ai passé 6 mois intense, où j'ai pu voir de A à Z les fondamentaux du développement Web. Du Back, du Front, des exercices, des flashcards, des leçons en vidéo, des projets de groupe, des sessions de livecode, le campus virtuel ! C'était une superbe expérience où j'ai pu apprendre à codeur. Les cours sont très bien expliqués et les profs sont toujours dispo pour aider. Le rythme est pas facile avec un travail à temps plein, mais je m'y étais préparé. A la fin de la formation, il y a des ateliers pour trouver un emploi, faire son cv etc. Super expérience que je recommande.

 Couldn't be better! I'm thrilled to have joined this bootcamp, as it has been an invaluable experience. I've gained an immense amount of knowledge and skills, preparing myself for a successful career ahead. 

The course provided a balanced blend of enjoyment and challenge. It served as an excellent introduction to programming concepts, and it has sparked my interest in exploring other programming languages as well. I now feel more confident and equipped to delve into coding as a subject than ever before. Moreover, the course has heightened my awareness of the intricacies involved in developing online applications and the potential vulnerabilities that can compromise their safety. 10/10 would recommend

Le Wagon is amazing :) The curriculum is almost perfect and the tutors are great too! You can really tell they all love and have a passion for coding, which really translates into their teaching during class. I highly recommend taking the web development course, and recommend Ashley, Zong Han and Mo as your tutors!

Great course with fantastic teachers. Was taught how to be a web developers by really helpful teachers. Would definitely recommend to those who are looking for a structured learning exprience.

Everything at le Wagon was excellent from start to finish. The content of the courses, the quality of the teachers, the friends met along the way, the organization... everything was top notch. It's incredible to be able to code a website from scratch in just 2 months and thanks to this bootcamp, it is possible.

Great experience and intense 9 weeks. Online material is perfect and the training quality exceeded my expectations.The instructors know the deal as they also trained from the bootcamp in the past, it's a huge plus as they understand the students and what they are facing on a day to day.

Cela m'a permis d'approfondir mes connaissances que j'avais deja dans les langages de programmation comme javascript, et j'ai pu apprendre un nouveau langage ruby ainsi que son framework ruby on rails.

Formation avec une pédagogie incroyable, une équipe à l'écoute et professionnelle.En 9 semaine j'ai énormement développer mes compétences en programmation WEBJe recommande fortement de vivre l'expérience !

I always wanted to build an app from scratch and this course certainly has equipped me with the tools to do so. Special thanks to our patient and fun loving teachers Ashley, Zonghan and Mo for not just providing us with the content knowledge and best practices but also steering us towards how to go about figuring things out on our own when we do get stuck! This course certainly gave me the stepping stone to kick start my web development journey but the learning never stops!

Je suis extrêmement heureux d'avoir participé à cette expérience. Pendant un an, j'ai poursuivi mon apprentissage en solitaire sans réellement concrétiser mes efforts. Le wagon m'a ouvert une immense porte vers le métier qui me fascine tant, offrant ainsi une perspective plus épanouissante et prometteuse.

After completing the boot camp, I am still in awe of what I am capable of doing now. It would not be possible without the help of Le Wagon and their amazing teachers and staff members. Thanks!

The combination of the high-quality curriculum, exceptional teaching team, and strong sense of community has made my learning journey both enjoyable and rewarding. The course materials are well-structured and thoughtfully designed, making it easy to grasp complex concepts and apply them in real-world projects. 

Was an amazing learning experience, the organization, content's quality, lectures, methodology to work in pairs or in a reduce team, the teachers, teachers assistant, managers, career advisor, etc. Really was over my expectations.

I recently completed the Le Wagon bootcamp, and I must say it was an incredible experience. The bootcamp exceeded my expectations in every way and provided me with the skills and knowledge to kick-start my career in the tech industry.

While I've had prior coding experience, I wanted to pick up skills that I had not learned before (web development). Their curriculum is set in such a flexible way that you can always learn new things no matter how familiar you are with programming. It is a perfect place to network and socialize as there is a huge variety of backgrounds. The instructors are very attentive and want you to succeed probably even more than you do. Outside coding, there is always some event going on at the bootcamp (talks, get-togethers, etc) and there is never a dull moment. My only warning is that the program is very fast-paced, so do not give up if you have trouble keeping up in the beginning. You get used to the tempo!

My experience with Le Wagon Bootcamp was transformative. It provided me with the technical skills, collaborative mindset, and career support needed to kickstart my journey as a web developer. I highly recommend Le Wagon to anyone looking to dive into the world of coding and accelerate their career in the tech industry.

Doing this bootcamp WILL NOT land you a job. I’m keen to stress that point. The bootcamp is okay if you are a beginner and want to gain some experience but for the fee you would expect it to educate you to the level of being able to secure a job at the end, but it doesn’t. You will still need to put in A LOT of work post bootcamp, which suggest you may as well just teach yourself. £7.5k isn’t justifiable for an “Introduction to Code” style course. The people are great. The community is great, and it is a lovely environment to work for 9 weeks. BUT unfortunately, the excessive course fee is building them a rod for their own back. The structure and the pace of the course simply means you will probably only learn 20% of what is taught to you. Think of it as an F1 car whizzing by whilst you try and read it’s reg number. What you learn on the Monday, you’ll already have forgotten on the Friday. And when it comes to utilising it 4/5 weeks down the line in project week. You won’t have any idea where to start. The first two weeks are plain sailing, you’re constantly reassured with words of “it will click” and the reality is that it doesn’t really. There is no eureka moment. You will learn a few basics and fundamentals, but you’ll leave the bootcamp still not quite feeling independent enough to tackle a problem on your own. For example, I don’t feel I would handle a coding interview very well without someone sat beside me. Which is a concern when it comes to finding a job.  The last 2 weeks focus on building your project in your team and it is very fast paced, as a result and because of time pressure, TA’s tend to take over your laptop and just code for you. Which really defeats the object of being there. Whilst this is nice as you will end up with a shiny, functioning website, there’s no guarantee you’ll understand how you did it. A problem for future interviews and trying to talk about the technicality of your projects. I think it’s worth noting that you will still be independently learning during the course, you must put the effort in. Just because you pay a large sum doesn’t mean you are entitled to walk into a job at the end of it. What you’re really paying for is the structure, accountability, and curriculum because you’re not disciplined enough to do it on your own at home for free. If you are disciplined enough (most people aren’t) then you don’t need this bootcamp. This may seem a contradiction to what I have said previously, but what I think the fee DOES entitle you too, is to be confident and prepared enough to tackle interviews and coding challenges. It is my opinion that it just didn’t do that. The careers week at the end also very much felt like a token “we should at least make it look like we help you into jobs”. The final Friday involved a load of hiring partners spending the day chatting and networking with students, only to be told at the end of the day “thanks very much but we’re not hiring at the moment”. Well, what was the point in that then? I don’t want this to come across negatively as I really enjoyed my 9 weeks with Le Wagon and I have made some great connections. But the purpose of the course was to be educated to the level of being able to get a job, and I don’t think the current structure of the course really allows that to be the case.   One final thing, I was extremely disappointed by small details, like the quality of the final project demo day video (deemed not good enough to be published online and instead distributed privately). When a company is making almost 300k PER batch. I think the least you expect is a decent quality video to show to family, friends, and possible employers. Instead, a laptop was dumped on a chair in the middle of the room and the webcam was used to film. For £7.5k each you would expect a decent level of effort put into this. It doesn’t take much to hire a small production crew for the day to put it all together. (Other Le Wagon locations do appear to have done this) To summarise for anyone thinking of doing the bootcamp my advice would be this, take the money you would have spent on the bootcamp, put it in the bank use it to live off of for a few months, quit your job and design your own curriculum and self-study. Build projects and don’t expect to walk into a 70k a year job, start small and try and land yourself an entry-level role where you can learn on the job. 

I enjoyed a lot of how interactive, hospitable and helpful were the teachers and the TAs during the bootcamp. The intensive schedule and immersive environment helped me a lot to get an idea of the requirements I need to have to make a career change and get into the world of Web Development.  Also the family like structure of the bootcamp and the continues support from the TAs and teachers helped me a lot to overcome any uncertainties and weaknesses I had with coding. Overall a great experience and a great introduction to the world of coding!

During my bootcamp I've learned many things. From Ruby to SQL. JavaScript, HTML and CSS. And before the course I knew nothing about coding. Now I'm good. I know that I'm more comfortable with the backend, I worked on two projects. I got help to find a job. This bootcamp il really complete.
