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

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!

Before starting Le Wagon bootcamp I used to be a project manager. I worked within start ups that developed really cool products but did not feel like I understood properly what the team was doing. I started Le Wagon to be able to communicate better with the team & being able to challenge technical choices. Since the bootcamp I became a better technical project manager to communicate with internal team but also with external technical teams.

Le Wagon bootcamp was truly a great experience. I am working as a data consultant. I didn't have much coding experience before joining the bootcamp. I came up to learn new skill on data analysis, machine learning and deep learning. Clearly I feel way more confortable now and I gained so much autonomy in my professional and person projects. The bootcamp is quite maths-oriented so you really get to understand what's behind machine learning models (you do not just implement them). I recommend having good basics skills in maths/statistics and python if you're planning to join the data science bootcamp. Teachers and members of the organization were super friendly and helpful. They pay lots of attention in your good understanding of the course. Also Le Wagon has a huge worldwide community. I would definitely recommend if your looking for an intensive data science bootcamp.

I just finished the Data Science bootcamp at the Wagon in Paris. The last 10 weeks were intense as I learned most of the data science concepts and put them into practice.It is very impressive to see what we were able to produce in the last 2 weeks of projects.This was only possible because of the very well-prepared lectures and the challenges we were given every day, as well as the teacher assistants who were always there to answer our questions, spend as much time as necessary to help us understand and implement the new concepts.The friendly and collaborative environment is, in my opinion, a key factor of success, and my 10 weeks of bootcamp proved it.This training is a very good complement to my initial scientific training, which is starting to be outdated, and to my professional management experience. I am sure that being comfortable with data science, which I hope to be now, will be a strong positive complement for my future professional career.

I did the data science course given by Le Wagon Buenos Aires.I don't have coding experience nor data analysis experience. This was my first bootcamp. Doing 9 hours a day of study can be though if you don't have a good backup. Le Wagon provided excellent help and motivation. The course is very practice-oriented. The teachers are more likely to be experts rather than academics. The campus has multiple exercises, and ressourse to keep on track. The first 3 weeks where to set the basis of coding, data-viz and the toolkit. So be prepared to dive in DL and ML starting on the 16th day. This is important: be fresh because there begins the real action. The material is available for ever to review it, so you can see it over and over. The lecture are well prepared and the exercises can be challenging. The team (teachers and ta) are really helpful, the atmosphere is excellent for learning.I am still looking for a good job, I guess that that will be the last evaluation of the course.

   Attending this bootcamp was the best decision I could possibly make! I come from a business background: I graduated from a business school and got a first job in program management at a big tech company. This is where I discovered data science and decided I wanted to learn more. So I chose to attend the Data Science bootcamp at Le Wagon after looking at their program, the demo-days on Youtube, and talking with their Alumni, and I just landed a full-time Data Analyst job!   This bootcamp covers Data Collection-Cleaning-Analysis, Machine and Deep Learning. It gives you enough concepts and practice time to make you employable after the bootcamp, but what’s really smart is that they teach you how to go further, how to answer your own questions, how to read the documentation of Python libraries, etc.. In this way, you can go a lot further on your own after the bootcamp in your own time.There are three things I really value in this bootcamp:
The methodology: One third of the day is lecture time, and the two other thirds you’re paired up with a buddy and complete exercises to practice what you just learned. Thanks to this methodology, I felt ready to work right after the bootcamp !
A unlimited access to resources: you can access all lectures materials, exercises, flashcards, career playbooks after you leave the bootcamp. I still use their platform all the time and it’s been super useful.
The network and seamless support from teachers: there’s many teachers available to answer your questions during the bootcamp so you never leave a day of class with an unclear concept in mind. And there’s a SUPER-active community on Slack, which has now 10 K members from around the world, and will help you find a job, find a freelance mission, answer technical questions, attend masterclasses, connect with companies you love. There’s a superbe atmosphere, you get little surprise events to connect with your peers and teachers and they really do (even in covid times) everything they can to ensure you get the best experience possible.

100% recommend Le Wagon !

This was an amazing journey! With knowledge of web development, I wanted to specialize in Data Science. After trying to learn on my own I enrolled at Le Wagon. It was an amazing decision. The program is fast-paced but so exciting! The curriculum is built such as you are never lost. The staff is always there to help you when you get stuck! We've learned so much in such a short period of time.I would recommend the Le Wagon Bootcamp to anyone who is wanting a change of career, looking to upskill themselves or simply wanting a challenge.When you enter Le Wagon you enter an entire community you can rely on!

Le Wagon provided me with everything I needed to become a Data Scientist. Lead teachers, teaching assistants and drivers were really kind, helpful and proficient when it came to providing guidance and solutions to the different challenges we had to face throughout the Data Science bootcamp. Plus, the Le Wagon community is also supportive and collaborative with every student or alumni. I would totally recommend this school.

My experience as a Le Wagon student went beyond my original expectations, both for how much I would enjoy it and how well it worked, even virtually. The teaching staff and companions were fantastic, all equally driven. I never felt that resources and help were outside of my grasp, plus it all culminated in an amazing final project to show off what I learned. I look back at it all now in awe, grateful that I took the chance to block out all other obligations to just focus and have fun with the experience. Now as an alumni I also have to praise the amount of help we are receiving in terms of career help and coaching, something that is light years ahead of the kind of help I received leaving university. I’m setting some high new goals for myself and I have the Le Wagon team to thank for feeling wholesomely prepared to take them on. I recommend you charge your goals as well and take this course! 

I was a journalist when I signed up for the Wagon, interested in modern data mining tools. The Data Science bootcamp is exciting from start to finish. The program is generous and ambitious and the active pedagogy (learning by doing), very effective. Days go fast while confronting and resolving difficulties by ourselves through exercises, with the support of the team. Working in pairs and in groups on the projects brings a positive energy.It’s hard, challenging, intensive, but you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve after 9 weeks.

I did not expect that I could learn so much about Python and Data Science within only two months.I am a linguist. Before the bootcamp, I was very interested in data analysis, but I had very limited knowledge on Python and machine learning algorithms. Now, I’m so glad that I can complete an NLP project, from data analysis to data engineering by combining my knowledge on linguistics and data science. It was truly an experience ‘from zero to hero’.Studying at Le Wagon was pure joy. All teachers and TAs were so nice and very helpful as well as my classmates. I really appreciate the buddy system which changes with each class session allows me to meet everyone, to work with people with diverse background.

I am an engineer with a background in wireless communication research, where the field of computer science wasn't traditionally used. After gaining exposure to the field of programming and basic data analysis across different engineering positions after graduation, I started enjoying working with data and thought to build my career in data science!I had a very basic idea about data science, but considering how it's the state of the art field with an immense knowledge pool, I couldn't understand where to start, or what path to follow to study with it, let alone applying the broad field in any area. To my rescue, was this fantastic course of Le Wagon - data science course. I decided to opt for this course, because of their well thought and researched curriculum, which is perfect for people who want to venture into data science, even if they do not have prior knowledge of experience of the field. This course let us not only gain the technical knowledge but also enables our minds to think analytically and logically, which is required of a data scientist. Moreover, the teachers are extremely talented, dedicated and friendly, making such difficult concepts really easier for us to understand! By the time we finished with the course, we realized that we now have a project we built using all the skills we learnt in those 9 weeks, an amazing skillset and a mind to use those skills further in different applications! Not only that, they provided us with extremely resourceful career advices, workshops and seminars related to whole job search process in the field of data science and even how to further venture deeper into this field! Overall, this learning experience is truly life changing, and I'd recommend this course to everyone out there who want to build their career in data science!

Before joining Le Wagon I was carrying out Master’s thesis research into the effects of stigma on implicit self-esteem. That was when I realised my future lies in data, so I enrolled in several short courses online to improve my abilities. Although it seemed like I learnt a lot from these courses there were many times that I felt lost and without anyone to turn to. There was clearly something missing. That’s why I decided to join the data science boot camp at Le Wagon. Before joining the boot camp, I tried to make the best use of my time by completing all the pre-work suggested to us. I would 100% recommend this to anyone starting out on their boot camp journey as it eased me into the subject and meant there were no surprises when I started. Once I joined the boot camp, I loved that I finally had an environment in which I could share confusions and victories or ask questions when I felt lost. It was amazing to work on the materials at my own pace and to know I could refer back to them when needed while getting feedback as I progressed. I also appreciated the wonderful experience of being able to work as a team to produce a final project that I think none of us would have been able to achieve alone. In the end, I was truly proud of this project which was an online web service for autistic uses to understand more about emotions in an intuitive way. Coming from a rather tech. light background, I was unsure about getting into data science. However, now that I made the move I cannot emphasise enough how pleased I am and how much I would recommend Le Wagon to anyone interested in pivoting into data science. 

I am a graduate of Le Wagon data science bootcamp in March 2021.After due consideration, the biggest reason why I decided to start this bootcamp is that I believed it was the most efficient way to get a job as a data analyst. Through this explosive amount of study in a short period of time, I wanted to accumulate knowledge necessary for practical work, and finally have the ability to change career.Studying every day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. for 9 weeks was tough but I could see how much I've learned after completing daily lectures and challenges. While carrying out the final project in teams in the last two weeks, I was quite surprised that we could actually build a product with our knowledge acquired in only 2 months. Also, learning how to cooperate in a team of coders working on a project was a good experience.Finally, all staff members, teachers and colleagues were amazing and helpful. They motivated me a lot.

I did both the web development and data science bootcamp at Le Wagon Paris.I wanted to change my professional career and find a path that will challenge and passionate me and also allow me to work as a freelancer.At first I didn’t know anything about coding and web development tools.The first bootcamp (web development ) came as a revelation for me.I loved everything about it and even when we had to switch on remote after 4 weeks, we didn’t loose anything about the quality of teaching. Teachers and TA’s were amazing and the format or the courses very stimulating. I did the data science bootcamp right after and I am still amazed of everything we achieved in only 9 weeks. In addiction to all the technical skills, we also learnt to work as a team on our final projects.Both bootcamps have exceeded my expectations, thanks Le Wagon for these experiences !

The Data Bootcamp of Le Wagon has been a very formative experience. I am amazed of how much I have learned in data science in only 2 months. I started with zero practical knowledge in  Machine Learning, and I ended up with a strong core of notions and technical skills, from which I will be able to build a career in the field.The formation was intense and  the staff was very engaged but, as they were pushing us,  they did all they could to maintain a friendly atmosphere and to keep us motivated in this strange period (COVID-19).
