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

Honestly, I'd probably give this boot camp four stars. I did hate all the emojis and the words of encouragement saying you're now a "machine learning engineer" or a "Data Scientist", because let's face it, you're not. That's the reason for the one star. In the post 2022 market, completing a bootcamp isn't going to help you  "change your life, break into tech". Just go onto the CS subreddits. You might actually be better off leaving the bootcamp experience off your resume as the market is oversaturated right now. If you're asking for job placement rates, be sure to ask for 2023 or 2024 stats, and in particular the roles people got. The marketing materials often highlight graduates who ended up at say a top company, failing to mention that 1) they were previously employed at a similar company in a different role, and 2) they graduated before 2022. If you have 7k to spend and are just looking for a cool experience, go for it. If you're looking for a job, pick a different industry or do a legit MSCS or MSDS. Gatech's online Masters is about the same price as the bootcamp, but you'll have an actual degree. Nonetheless, even with a Master's finding a job will be an uphill battle. Good luck!

 They make big promises to get you in, but the reality falls short. The person in charge is rude and discouraging, offering little support or guidance. They ask for feedback, but instead of using it to improve, they use it against you, even though it’s supposed to be anonymous. By the end, you’re left feeling stranded. The course has no proper credentials or professional value. Don’t waste your money on this unless you’re fully aware of what you’re signing up for. 

Superbe expérience au Wagon. Pour celles et ceux qui cherchent un bootcamp efficace, je ne peux que conseiller sans réserve le Wagon. Avec toutes les offres qui existent sur le marché c'est compliqué de s'y retrouver !Alors pourquoi ?Comme vous avant, j'ai cherché sur le web une formation sérieuse pour apprendre les bases de Data Science. Une journée type au wagon- Tous les matins nous avons un cours - Exo tout le long de la journée où l'on peut demander de l'aide à un prof (j'insiste sur ce dernier point) - le soir récap avec un live code - petit bonus, en fin de bootcamp, il y a un projet à monter en équipe(ça c'était vraiment cool)Mon expérience perso : Je ne savais même pas ce qu'était Python avant de commencer ! Mon objectif était de monter en compétence grâce à la compréhension technique de l'IA et de la science des données (la partie mathématique). Je viens de 19ans de commerce et de marketing et je voulais apprendre à automatiser mes recherches de data pour gagner en performance. La formation est très intense et assez difficile, je ne le cache pas. Si vous êtes du genre à être humble, à accepter de ne pas comprendre des fois, à demander de l'aide et si vous êtes bosseur alors cette formation est faite pour vous ! A la fin de ce bootcamp, je sais coder, je sais corriger mes problèmes et je sais monter un projet de A et Z en toute confiance et en parfaite autonomie. Je ne cache pas que j'ai eu des moments de doutes mais j'ai continué à travailler et à demander de l'aide quotidiennement au prof. J'insiste sur ce point car c'est vraiment le point fort de ce bootcamp.D'ailleurs les profs sont très compétents, bienveillants et pédagogues. C'est totalement insane. On n'est jamais seul, toujours une personne pour vous aider, vous accompagner à trouver la réponse. Le service administratif est très présent pour vous soutenir tout du long de votre formation. C'était un batch d'été 2024 en petit groupe de 7. J'ai vécu une très très belle expérience. J'espère que ma review permettra à d'autres de se lancer dans l'aventure et à prendre un ticket pour le prochain Wagon.

It's been exciting and exhausting. The teaching structure overall is very good organised and you learn a lot in dense packed lectures. It has a good balance between theory, practice and fun.  I really recommend doing it on campus as the atmosphere you get to experience adds a lot of value. The alumni community has been something I didn't expect and is good to know, once you're in, you get access to a Slack server with past students, some posting job offers, other looking for co-founders or just sharing what they have been up to. P.S. Consider that depending on the season you choose, the experience will vary a bit IMO. I'd do it again if I had to.

Attending the data science bootcamp at Le Wagon was an incredible experience. The course content was vast, covering a wide range of essential topics that helped me build a strong foundation in data science. One of the most valuable things I gained was learning how to learn, which has been transformative for my personal and professional growth. The bootcamp truly was a life-changer, pushing me beyond my limits and opening up new opportunities. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to dive into data science and advance their career! 

I did a Data Science Bootcamp at Le Wagon, a world-renowned company, and the experience was incredible! Although I started with a weak foundation in mathematics because of my school education, I dedicated myself a lot to keep up with the pace. The course was challenging, but the hands-on approach helped me understand complex concepts and apply them in a real way. Each project has made me evolve, from data analysis to creating predictive models. In addition to gaining a lot of technical experience, the bootcamp further sparked my passion for programming and data science.

Hi, fellow learners. LeWagon has designed highly relevant course content designed to build expertise. Every day, you attend 2 hours of theory classes followed by 6 to 7 hours of coding, during which you are exposed to real-life problems that you would encounter in a corporate environment. But you get great content at many places, even online, right? So, what makes LeWagon stand out at the top? The people & the culture. The people of LeWagon make all the difference. The faculty are highly qualified (one of ours has a PhD in ML), and they are always ready to answer the silliest of our questions. And they are available throughout the day. You could go to them with a coding issue, which could be a syntax error, but they won't judge you or tell you that you have wasted their time. They are so compassionate, intelligent, articulate and student-friendly. In our batch, we have students aged 17 - 47.Culture: It's a 100% learning environment. Anyone would feel comfortable here as even the most struggling student in our batch calls our Professors the greatest he/she has met.The admin people are just so sweet; they are like family. You can go to them and say, "I find the BootCamp so difficult, and I feel I've come unprepared" (but do the prep work), and they won't judge you. You'll for sure come out of the conversation reassured and energized. I'm so blessed to be here at LeWagon. 

Le cours de Data Science a été extrêmement intensif, mais l'équipe pédagogique a su nous apporter un soutien précieux tout au long de cette expérience. Leur disponibilité et leur expertise ont été essentielles pour naviguer à travers les défis complexes du programme. Grâce à leur accompagnement, j'ai pu surmonter les obstacles et approfondir mes compétences en Data Science. Leur engagement à nous aider à réussir a vraiment fait la différence, rendant ce parcours difficile mais très gratifiant. Je recommande vivement ce cours à toute personne prête à s'investir pleinement dans l'apprentissage de la Data Science.

My experience at Le Wagon was very productive. The content provided is of great value for starting a career in data science. Despite being very intense due to the large amount of content in a short period, having indefinite access to the material helps us review and deepen our understanding after the course. The teachers are always very attentive and willing to help with whatever is needed. They teach you how to debug to find your mistakes, thus building a strong foundation for my journey. 

The bootcamp was so motivating and enriching! I not only picked up tons of valuable skills and knowledge that really boosted my abilities, but I also got a big idea of machine learning and deep learning. The concept was so intriguing that I feel confident diving deeper into it. The vibe there was awesome—everyone was super enthusiastic and supportive, always willing to help out or share their expertise. It was a total game-changer and such a rewarding experience. I'm really grateful to have been part of it. 
The job support during the bootcamp was awesome too! We had guest speakers sharing their experiences, learned how to improve our LinkedIn profiles and resumes, and got some great tips for the job hunt. It was all really helpful and got us pumped for the real world!

 Can recommend to everybody that is a career changer! One of my favorite teachers, is super encouraging. Her explanations are easy to follow and she explains the lecture and the topics freely. Teaching stuff enriches the  explanation with vast background knowledge. Teachers show the fun they have doing ML or math or explaining  it.Thank you  I learned a lot, but it is tough!And my course is online, this is not here
