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

Time and money well spent. Paying the fees while simultaneously not earning is a big decision. Nevertheless I had already tried learning data science online and it wasn't sticking - no wonder - the magic ingredient is learning from people. In the case of le Wagon, the culture, the quality of the teaching and the structure of the material is perfectly suited to learning quickly. It's also a nice trajectory from structured learning to semi-structured at the 'business end' of the course, when we teamed off to build a project.

If you like challenges and tolerate failure, this is the right place to increase your knowledge.My advice is that the more base you have in both programming and statistics, the more profit you will get from it.If you like the intensive learning process, this is the right place, now if not, be careful with that!You meet a lot of amazing people from many different countries and backgrounds.I have encouraged myself and it has been worth it!Thanks to all the staff of Le Wagon Barcelona

The course provides a high pace, well structured introduction to data science. The mathematical depth is of grad level while programming requirements are reachable without prior experience BUT with sufficient effort. Despite the steep fee, it felt good value for money. This provide an excellent foundation for further development and self teaching either on the job or online. would recommend for people wanting to retrain in datascience.

Making the insane decision to quit my job and learn to code could have been a huge mistake, but luckily I chose to attend Le Wagon and that has turned what could have been a terrible life choice into an inspired career change. After nine weeks of intensive coding amongst some of the friendliest, smartest, most interesting people imaginable I had evolved into a capable coder with a scattering of statistical knowledge and a plethora of new tools in my coding toolbox. I loved my teachers, my batch manager, and my fellow students and I couldn't have asked for a better learning experience. No regrets.

At Le Wagon, I had the chance to learn an in-demand skill set known as data science. As a former college student, I can say that the learning methods used in academic environments are often outdated and use technology that is not used in today's companies. At Le Wagon, I got to use technology that is currently used at top companies while also benefiting from an alternative teaching method that emphasizes practical work. All in all, Le Wagon enables students to fast-track their learning with methods that align better with modern practices.

I had a wonderful experience at Le Wagon. The curriculum is exactly what I wanted to find for many years, it provides students with a structure of the data science and data analysis field. I finally started to understand how different jobs and tasks are connected, and how and where to look for the information. Deep learning doesn't sound like a scary world for me anymore, and I feel confident working further on the topic by myself. Le Wagon gives you that confidence that you actually can do things if you find the right information. Regarding the job search, Le Wagon definitely gave me more skills in my cv, and my previously empty GitHub gained some projects. However, it still takes time and creativity to find an entry position for almost all students. The community is awesome, you meet many like-minded people who support each other in this early stage of career development and job search. Even after graduation we still gather to study and co-work together.

I am very happy about deciding on LeWagon for my Data Science Bootcamp. Definitely the most intense learning experience in my adult life. Coding every single day from 9 to 18 was only possible by insistently reaching for the support of our teachers and TAs. Redoing classic Engineering challenges after some years, but now with machine learning models, showed me how stimulating putting yourself up to date can be!

A former researcher in neuroimaging, I had previous experience with coding in MATLAB and analyzing neural data but I was lacking expertise with more general databases in non-research specific domains and knowledge in Python, which is mostly required in data science jobs. Therefore, I joined Le Wagon to get a certified training and a more intensive hands-on experience. I had done summer schools before in an academic context, but this bootcamp exceeded my expectations: the course was tailored for all levels of education and different backgrounds and would lead you progressively but fast from the general theory to very specific use cases. Numerous Teaching Assistants were available all day for the students providing help and support with the coding exercises and all the classes were up to date on the latest recent AI development. Lots of social networking and professional events were organized during the weeks of the bootcamp and overall the format was fun and engaging. I totally recommend it for a top-notch professional reconversion and an extremely gratifying human experience!

Only a couple of teachers were excellent but they do not have the qualifications to teach (no PhDs,etc). Majority had only finished the bootcamp and were given jobs as TA. The amount of money you pay is way too much. There are courses online that have a better structure and content. The videos are substandard. The fee is almost like a Mater's degree but the qualification you get at the end doesn't really give you added credibility. Honestly, it was a total rip off. They promise to help you with jobs. They give you "guidance" and tell you to be persistent. Only those who already have a more solid background in the Sciences/Maths/Computing will be successful after the bootcamp- and not because of the bootcamp but the degree already gained from reputable universities. PLEASE, do not waste your money!

This training was a very good experience to get more comfortable with coding on Python, and to learn about machine learning, deep learning an data engineering, with a very dense curriculum. The TAs were always keen to answers to question and the ticket system to assist us when stucked on a given exercise was very helpful.The final project was a great opportunity to get a sense of what working on a data science project in team looks like, having to create a minimum viable product in a bit less than 2 weeks, thankfully with the support of TAs whenever we needed it!

Is the Data Science and Machine learning Bootcamp at Le Wagon worth It? A one word answer is Yes.  However, it's only worth it if you have a game plan.  This course is great if you have a background in coding, and if not, at least done a few Udemy, Coursera, Datacamp(or equivalent)  courses in Python and Machine Learning. It's a bootcamp, so things move very quickly and if you don't have some experience it can be really tough, not impossible but difficult.  To manage expectations, you probably won't become a data scientist straight away with this course alone, but it definitely will accelerate the process. With that being said, I was really impressed with how well the program was organised, how highly-skilled instructors and teaching assistants were and the high level of course material.

I recently completed Le Wagon's data science bootcamp, a 10-week immersive learning experience that transformed my career. I had previously worked as a private equity research analyst. Still, after realizing that much of the research could be automated, I became interested in data-driven solutions and decided to switch careers. I chose Le Wagon because of its firm establishment date and a large network of alumni and I was impressed by the thorough and structured curriculum. The bootcamp was intense, with daily theory and challenges based on real-world examples, but I received constant support from instructors and classmates. I am grateful for the sense of accomplishment and growth I experienced during the bootcamp, and hope to inspire others to invest in their own professional development through similar experiences.

As you might have read by many other reviewers online, a coding bootcamp experience can turn your professional life around. My experience at Le Wagon Berlin couldn't have validated this point more! For 10 weeks (9 weeks of face-to-face learning + 1 week of coding prep-work), I faced coding challenges I never knew I could solve. While having had some coding experience prior to the bootcamp, the real key to solving these challenges was Le Wagon's systematic approach to teaching. That said, the extensive tech and coding experience of both the lecturers and TAs was equally invaluable in this regard. While I might have taken away more about some fields in data than others, this was largely due to personal choice. Indeed, although the bootcamp centralizes the use of skills common to data science, we were introduced to skills needed for both data analysis and data engineering. Given my initial desire to skill-up in data analysis, I ended up focusing more of my attention on lectures pertaining to this field than others.
If I were to utter any sort of critique about the bootcamp, it would relate to the point above. Finding a job as a data scientist right after the bootcamp will be a challenge for most people - especially for those with no experience in tech or quantitative work. Most people will start as data analysts or engineers and slowly work towards roles in data science. The bootcamp certainly delivers on its promise to introduce students to the current standards in data science, but in light of this reality, students should be aware of the skills needed for a start in the data world and prepare accordingly throughout the bootcamp. This is, of course, less of a critique about Le Wagon's programme, but rather a word of caution to anyone who is looking to start a highly specialized bootcamp as such. I can whole-heartedly recommend Le Wagon's data science bootcamp, and would do it again if I could!

I loved being a part of Le Wagon Batch #1011 in Rio de Janeiro! I'm still young, but  I was inspired to learn to code to open my mind. I had great recommendations from friends and now I have no doubts that it was the right choice! The way the staff at Le Wagon treats their students is great, not only teaching them but helping everyone achieve their goals in just 9 weeks. It's very intense, but there is plenty of time to do exercises and relax before the next one. Amazing experience!
