Data Science & AI bootcamp | On campus, full-time Reviews

Le Wagon is a great decision I made. For over 12 years I have worked in the oil and gas industry as a designer. I have always been curious about what was under the hood of software and AI.
Meanwhile, I was feeling a little underachieved and I knew I had to make a career change. Surfing through the net, I came across different bootcamps but Le Wagon stuck me because of its rich courses and incredible reviews. I knew straight up that I belong to this
community.
With zero knowledge of coding, I lunched myself full time into the data science program. My experience at Le Wagon is invaluable. I learned so so much in such a very short time (10 weeks) due to the fantastic learning structure put in place by the school.
My team and I built a waste_assist image detection and classification project completely from scratch. I have also gone ahead to create a rock_paper_scissors image detection of my own.
Viva Le Wagon!!!

 I recently finished the le wagon bootcamp and I can clearly say it was life changing for me. Before that I worked in business and social fields and I needed a change, which came at a perfect timing. Super excited to get on with my tech career I have never learned so many useful Skills in myLife in such small period of time. The TAs and the Buddy System were exceptionally good in allowing students to engage in problems on their own and search for a way to solve it together without the solution being revealed. On top of that we had wonderful and inclusive community that made this journey even better.Totally recommended for anyone looking to extend their knowledge in coding or change careers and meet the most amazing and bright group of people along the way. 

 I did the Le Wagon Data Science bootcamp in Amsterdam and it was an amazing experience. In only 9 weeks the Bootcamp taught me all the necessary tools to work on my own projects and opened my horizon for more ideas.During the whole course the teachers and assistants were helpful and patient with us students, I never felt left alone with my problems.The lectures go deep enough into the mathematical theory to keep it challenging even with a technical background.In the end of the bootcamp we worked on a final project that I can now present with pride during my job interviews. 

Before Le Wagon i was already working in IT as a product and project manager. Although i had basic understanding of programming and technologies around data i always wanted to dive deeper into this topic. There are many courses and bootcamps for Data Science out there, but i decided to go with Le Wagon, because it seemed to be an intense program. After the bootcamp i can say that it was the right desicion, because the Le Wagon Bootcamp has a great concept that makes it stand out from other courses.Here are 3 things that are especially worthy to be highlighted:Mass, quality, availability of material:Your first impression is probably gonna be, that the pace is way to high, but that's the goal. You go through a ton of material every day and its sometimes hard to cath up.Every topic will be introduced through a live lecture. But there is also a possibility to watch a prerecorded lesson and take a look into a script later. If the pace was to fast or something wasn't clear enough you can have a look at it in the future, because all the material will be availible for you even after the bootcamp.Teaching concept and community:Bacause the topics are new every single day it's pretty tough to get through the challenges without any help. So you have to collaborate. Challenges are designed that you solve them in collaboration with the teachers and other students and of course with the use of stackoverflow & co. There is also a lot of communication on the slack channels, so you really get to know many people and benifit from the huge international community.The final project:At the end of your bootcamp you can pitch you own project or join a project of other students. In two weeks (with support from teachers) you, as group of 4 students, will develop and deploy your own web application... and thats impressive. PROVariety and depth of Data Science Topics. You get a great overview of the most important concepts of data Science, because of the high pace you can not really focus to much on one specific thing but you always have the oppertunity to look it up after the bootcamp, because all the lectures and exercises are still availible for you after the bootcamp.CONTRAIf you do not like to be challenged and face adversity, bootcamp is probably not the right thing for you. If you do not have a technical background and no previous programming experience it can be a pretty rough experience for you on some days. But if you feel motivated, go for it nonetheless. Frustration management is a very important skill, especially in IT. 

Before joining Le Wagon I had founded two software startups where I was the main product manager. Since I didn’t have the knowledge to code software by myself, I hired developers, and without a technical background it was sometimes hard to communicate with them. To be able to collaborate in depth with developers in my future projects, and because I was very interested in developing products that used artificial intelligence, I decided to join Le Wagon’s Data Science bootcamp. I had a very positive experience at Le Wagon, and I really liked that it was a very hands-on bootcamp where I learned a wide variety of topics in a short time; that I was given the tools to create and deploy a product that used AI algorithms; and that I got help from Teacher Assistants whenever I got stuck. Finally, I also enjoyed doing with my team our final project, which in our case was a software that used computer vision to detect rooftops and solar panels from satellite images in order to assess the solar potential of a geographic area. I am looking forward to continuing with this project. 

 I studied physics and wanted to work in research but I realized I lacked often demanded knowledge and experience in programming. That’s why I joined le wagon’s data science bootcamp which was not only a great way to get to know python as a programming language but also to learn how to use python to analyze and work with data. In just 7 weeks of well-structured lessons and exercises I came the long way from basic programming skills to being able to build a working application using a complex deep learning algorithm to analyze pictures and recognize objects in them!  I can wholeheartedly recommend joining the bootcamp because apart from it being a great learning opportunity you will also be able to meet a lot of great people in between both the students and the le wagon staff and you’ll get to be part of a very welcoming community where everyone is working towards a shared goal. 

Is it the Stockholm syndrome that makes us like the training so much because of its difficulty and intensity or because after just 9 weeks, we become aware of the skills we have acquired? Hmmmm.....If at the beginning, I was looking for new skills to better assist my clients in their strategies, it is by discovering the field of data science during the batch #527 that I decided to retrain!In only 9 weeks, under a fast pace, supervised by highly skilled professionals recognized by their peers, you will acquire all the necessary skills to work in data science.The pedagogy by project accompanied in pairs (true signature of the Wagon) allows students to become very quickly autonomous on the various tasks that a Data Scientist can meet.And of course, at the end of the training, you have 2 weeks to apply your new skills in a professional project (don't hesitate to go to the LeWagon YouTube channel to see the presentation and get a taste of what you'll be able to do soon).The little extra, you will be able to take the state-recognized "Artificial Intelligence Developer" diploma at the end of the training.If you also wish to add a string to your bow, after these 9 weeks, it is no longer a bow that you will have, but a semi-automatic weapon that adapts to all types of interventions and all types of targets.The only regret you will have is that you did not do it earlier!

Attended 9-week data science bootcamp in LeWagon Bordeaux. Would 100% recommand it to any would-be data scientist looking for a clear, comprehensive, well-driven bootcamp.In just 9 weeks, Le Wagon Bordeaux data science bootcamp taught 10 students (including myself) everything we needed to know to envision a career switch to data science. I'm so glad I picked Le Wagon Bordeaux for this bootcamp. You can go there your eyes closed.

Lors de la semaine de la data organisée par Pôle Emploi, j'ai pris connaissance du bootcamp de Le Wagon à Bordeaux auquel j'ai participé. Cette formation m'a donné tous les outils pratiques pour pouvoir faire mes premiers pas dans le domaine de la data-science. Il s'agit de 9 semaines de formation intenses et très motivantes. Le site de l'entreprise à Bordeaux est bien aménagé pour recevoir les élèves. Pendant la formation il y a plusieurs profs avec des formations variées qui sont toujours à l'écoute et très engagés avec leur travail. L'équipe est super bienveillante et propose des activités en dehors des cours (conférences, jeux de groupe, sorties) qui génèrent une ambiance amicale. Je recommande cette formation à 100%.

I finished the Data Science bootcamp #633 in Bordeaux (France). I loved this experience which allowed me to develop solid skills in this field. The program is extremely well built and intensive. The different speakers are of a great quality and are concerned about offering us a quality experience as well as helping us in our professional insertion. I highly recommend this training for anyone wishing to learn and develop knowledge in Data Science.

 I attended Le Wagon London Data Science Bootcamp London in Spring 2021 and would highly recommend it. My background is as an academic (Reader/Professor) in Earth Sciences, and I have been programming for most of my life. Since 2017 I was leading research that uses deep-learning, and I read a lot of resources on deep-learning and machine learning. But I always felt that reading alone was not enough, and I needed the space and the time to code and focus on this. Le Wagon offered this opportunity in a condensed format (2 months) which was perfect for my busy schedule! Even though I had some prior experience in machine learning, I learned a ton during my bootcamp. The course is fast pace but strikes just the right balance of new material and supportive exercises which means that beginners and more  advanced students can progress at their own pace and both get the most out of the experience. In my batch (the official Le Wagon name for a cohort), we were a few more experienced programmers and a lot of student completely new to programming or data science. In the end we all became capable and confident data scientists, no matter what our initial technical level was! The curriculum is very good and TA support is excellent. They have a nice ‘ticket’ system, i.e. you raise a ticket and you get an assigned TA to help you.  You are encouraged to raise tickets, and you always work in pairs so you can benefit from peer learning as well. I made a lot of friends coming from all walks of life during my bootcamp: one of the perks of being a student at a coding bootcamp is that not everyone has the same background as you, and so you learn a lot from each other. Our final project was a blast: we spent 2 weeks training a deep neural network to recognize satellite images (we had to pitch the project ourselves, so you can propose whatever you fancy!) and we made a website to deploy our model. After the bootcamp we also attended a Careers Week: I already have a job and was not looking for a new one, but I still learned a ton and Le Wagon really prepare their students well for the job market. Not to mention the impressive >11k alumni network that you have access to. So, in summary, I think attending Le Wagon Bootcamp was one of the best decisions I have made and would highly recommend it.

The Le Wagon Data Science course is the most effiecient way to start your career in Data Science. The course is intense but super well structured and you get excelent help from teachers throughout the course. The best part, is your maintain access to all the course material , which will always be updated as the technologies in the space evolve.You get to learn all the building blocks needed to become a Data Analysit, Data Scientist or Data Engineer. YOu also get to participate in a group project at the end of the course where you get to implement all the skills you learnt throughout. For my project, we developed a news article aggrigator that predicted if the article you are looking at is more or less positive than others with the same topic. It was super fun and a great learning experience!I reccomend this course for anyone that wants to get started in this area in as little time as possible!

I was looking for a good course in data science and deep learning … took me some time to review all available offers. In the end I decided to choose Le Wagon because it seemed more organized, the content seems higher quality than the competition. In the end I’m very grateful for this choice. It was hard work, but I feel confident about my new skills and ready to start my own business. In addition I am part of huge community and I feel supported. I totally recommend this class !

I had the opportunity to enroll in the 10-week Data Science Bootcamp offered by Le Wagon, in their Spring batch. Initially I was reluctant on choosing between the Web Development and the Data Science course, but I'm glad I chose the Data Science one.The curriculum offered encapsules all the technologies necessary to go from zero to hero in the area and completely overhaul your career into one of a Data Scientist / Analyst / Engineer.From simple Python scripts to complex machine learning models, Le Wagon Data Science Bootcamp, guides you through the process of comprehending how to develop a data-based app and later deploy it into the world so it can be experienced by other users.More so, the teachers are very knowledgeable, attentive to the progress of each students, and available even in the off hours. I highly recommend thsi course to ayone interested in completely changing their career to one focused on data analysis or to someone who wants to consolidate knowledge in this area and become more prepared for innovative technologies.

Before enrolling into Le Wagon Lyon's Data Science full time course, I had 3 years experience as Business Development Manager. I felt a bit stuck and wanted to change my career path. I wanted to learn new skills that would open opportunities. I chose Data Science because of my background and the boom of this sector. After blood, sweat and tears learning it, it has become for me a tremendous source of stimulating thoughts and ideas. 3 months after graduating, I have started my own business and use my new Data Analysis, Science and Engineering skills to contribute to coherent projects within organizations who want to take data-driven decisions. Le Wagon is a community and you will find helpful people in your new career path along the way. Would recommend 5/5 ! 

Before joining Le wagon I was a venture capital fundraiser and a self-taught programmer, joining the wagon speed the growth of my skills in data science and I learned how to apply data science in business with real cases application, not just machine learning but all about data science from the base to fetch data, to mathematics and deployment in production with docker and google cloud platform.It's a real game-changer for my career

Following a few years of working in data related market research roles, I wanted to upgrade my technical skills to be better positioned for future roles. That is how I found Le Wagon! Over a period of 9 very intensive weeks, the structure of the bootcamp is designed for you to understand all the relevant information to become successful in the data science field with the help of amazing teachers and TAs. I also have the chance to access all the lectures after the bootcamp finished, which becomes extremely useful when preparing for interviews, working on my final project and building my portfolio.Le Wagon has a huge alumni network where everyone is open to help with your code, job offers or just to have a chat. However, if you don’t feel confident enough at the end of the course to start networking, Careers Week gives you all the information to excel while networking, looking for a job or becoming an entrepreneur.  I highly recommend it! 

Before the bootcamp, I worked at KMPG as senior consultant focused on optimizing processes to make them more efficient. I got more and more interested in how the different tools we used worked, and how I could use code to build such tools myself. The Le Wagon Data Science bootcamp covered everything I was looking for, and a lot more! My favorite parts were the daily challenges and the final project (an AI DJ), tackling them with my buddies, and of course, having a lot of fun in the proces!
