Excelent Experience

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 -

Super expérience !
Super formation pour apprendre à coder. Tout le monde est dans le même bain, ce qui crée une super expérience humaine.
Leçon d'1h ~ 1h30 tout les matins et puis exercices en binômes le reste de la journée. Super méthode, je trouve, pour apprendre à coder.

I loved Le Wagon Bootcamp
Le Wagon delivered 100% to my high expectations. I only heard positive things about it but living it was a much more complete and satisfying experience. It's intense, challenging, and demanding, but also rewarding. I loved it! -

Great experience at Le Wagon
Read more Read less of Angie's review
I really liked the teaching environment at Le Wagon. The staff/teachers here are really kind and open-minded, they find a time to help you with your doubts and they really take seriously students mental health (as it's a very tough course). It feels like a safe place to learn and makes you eager to learn. Personally I feel like the course was too compact, sometimes I felt overwhelmed because everyday we learnt a new different thing from what we learnt the day before. It might have been better if there were more weeks and we could learn more of for example Javascript in two weeks instead of one.
But overall the experience was great and I really recommend studying at Le Wagon. -

Le wagon is the best decision that you can make!
I loved the course structure and challenges,it was pretty intense,but on the other hand it seemed like you manage to absorb everything day by day.I graduated with a complete app and if you told me 3 month ago that i would build an app , i would never believe that.I am very grateful to the teachers and stuff. -

Excellent course - worth the fee

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. -

You won’t go wrong with Le Wagon. Le Wagon is one of the best things that ever happened to me. Coming from a background in law enforcement, I was keen to make a mid-career switch to future-proof myself and become a better version of myself by stepping out of my comfort zone. To make this review succinct and helpful to future boot campers, I will address questions that are likely to pop up in your head.
Q1: Why did I choose Le Wagon instead of other bootcamps in Singapore?
To me, Le Wagon won in many aspects. First, it is transparent - you get to see projects created by students week after week on YouTube, which shows that there's nothing to hide. Second, it is competitively priced, especially after government subsidies. Finally, the full-time, classroom-based programme was crucial for me to learn effectively and build lasting friendships with my classmates.
Q2: Did I get a job after graduation?
Yes, I got a job as a ReactJS developer with one of Le Wagon's hiring partners within a week after graduation. This is a testament to the high regard that companies have for Le Wagon.
Q3: Do I feel well-equipped after going through Le Wagon?
Le Wagon teaches Ruby on Rails, which I believe provides a solid foundation to the world of programming without the risk of getting lost. Additionally, Ruby on Rails is the perfect full-stack framework for boot campers, as it allows for easy and quick web application building. The experience of working on projects as a team was invaluable, as it prepared me for working with Agile and Git in my current job.
Q4: What have I gained in perpetuity?
I have gained lifelong friends, access to a strong Le Wagon Slack community, an up-to-date learning platform (Kitt) that remains with me forever, and a network of alumni who are part of the tech industry.
Q5: Has Le Wagon Singapore changed my life?
If it instills a love for coding and helps make your dreams come true, then yes, it has changed my life.

Frustrating, Stressful, Lonely

I could not express how disappointed I am at the very end of this boot camp. Before I paid for this boot camp, I was fascinated by the tons of good comments from different platforms, but after the start of the batch, I was shocked by its way of instruction. Previously I thought the courses were given live online. Still, all the courses regarding different topics are pre-recorded and you have to go through all the materials alone and finish the challenges after the lecture. This way of learning is very unfriendly to beginners and highly depressing and frustrating. Although they claim to have TAs to answer your questions, they are only available for a set period of time, and you have to wait for a long time to get some confusing answers which you could figure out the solutions to by googling (Now thanks to ChatGPT, you could get the answer for free immediately from OpenAI). As for their challenges, some functions and expressions used to solve them are not mentioned at all in the recordings, which means you need to spend extra time searching for the hints. My suggestion for those who consider registering for this program is to learn from those fantastic free resources on the YouTube channel. Those professors and coders from top world universities and tech giants explain the terms and algorithms much better and clearer than those half-amateurs and TAs who are only good at pushing you to finish the challenges. During this boot camp, I got extremely frustrated. Finally, I gave up learning by copying and pasting the code from the answers to deal with urges from those TAs who really don’t care about whether you have really understood and learned something at all. Ironically, right now, I learn happily and gradually, finding my confidence back from the Data Camp from which the cheat sheets given to students by their instructors come, and their cost is only 1/600 of this terrible boot camp. This awful boot camp definitely doesn’t worth that high price. With the help of ChatGPT and Google, I definitely believe there remain many much better choices than this one. Don’t spend your precious time and money on this program to torture yourself. -

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. -

Pushing My Limits with Le Wagon
Read more Read less of Aishath Muneez's review
I'm thrilled to share that I recently completed the Le Wagon web development bootcamp from Apr 2022 to Jun 2022, and it was an amazing experience. During the 9-week program, I learned HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript ES6, SQL, git, GitHub, Heroku, and Ruby on Rails. The course was intensive and fast-paced, but thanks to the guidance and support of my patient and knowledgeable teachers, Suan Sen, Ashley, and Rayan, I was able to learn a lot in a short amount of time.
The highlight of the program was the end-of-course project I worked on with my classmates/team. We created an iOS and Android app that helps people with special needs find routes that are easier to navigate and also accessible. Users can review places that are inclusive and disability-friendly, such as restaurants, and even upload pictures of the places they visit. Our app also features a community page where users can share events and interact with one another. It was an incredible experience to build something that could potentially help people in their daily lives.
Overall, I highly recommend the Le Wagon web development bootcamp to anyone interested in coding and web development. The teachers were knowledgeable and passionate, and the hands-on approach to learning made the experience more engaging and rewarding. -

Highlights- In person bootcamp. I don’t see how I would have been able to progress and stay on it working from home
- Culture. The teachers and students of my batch were great and the learning atmosphere was fantastic. The whole team behind Le Wagon is brilliant and making the 9 tough weeks a great experience. There is always someone to speak to if you struggle with the process or have questions about career paths after Le Wagon. They offer fun activities for all students (pilates on Tuesday, outings, networking events) and work very hard on making the students experience a good one.
- I’m above the average age of students and was one of the older ones in my batch. There was no point during the 9 weeks that I felt I didn’t fit in and I would recommend this bootcamp to any age group interested in learning how to code.
- Structure of learning. The way the curriculum is set up is brilliant and clear. There is a lot of focus on Ruby and I personally would have liked to see more Python being incorporated to match the skills needed to find a job after the bootcamp. At the end of the bootcamp students work on a 2 weeks project and it is impressive to see what you can do after 9 weeks at Le Wagon.
- Alumni network. The tens (hundreds??) of thousands students that graduated from Le Wagon all over the world have the opportunity to keep in touch via slack – there is a forum on which you can ask coding questions when you are stuck – a careers forum - women in tech forum etc. I found this platform extremely helpful during my job search and to speak with likeminded people.
- 93% employment rate / 3 months to find a job. I assume this statistic may need to be adjusted for 2023. From my batch of nearly 40 I know that the vast majority did not manage to get a junior/graduate/early career developer role within 3 months. Some people got part time employment and became teaching assistants at the school after graduating or did part time jobs to pay the bill but from what I can see nearly all graduates are still looking for a developer job 3 months after graduating. The job search is tougher than I had anticipated as junior developers often are required to have 2+ years developer experience and graduate roles are very competitive (hundreds of candidates for 1 spot). It seems that product management roles or support engineer roles (careers that don’t only code) are easier to get.
- Batchsize. We were nearly 40 students on the batch – imaging working on complex challenges with 40 people in the back. I mostly worked with my noise cancelling headphones on as I wouldn’t have been able to concentrate otherwise.
- Skill levels. It seems that students are selected by keeping quantity rather than quality in mind. I have witnessed students in other batches struggle with basic computer literacy and language barriers. I’m not sure how students are selected for the bootcamp but can see advantages of having a stricter process in place.
- Collaboration with employers. While I did Le Wagon there was not opportunity for an apprenticeship and work placement post bootcamp. I know a lot of other bootcamps work in a way where you apply for the bootcamp AND a company and you start working in the company right after graduation. If I were to do it all again I would try to get into a bootcamp that offers work placement (though they are harder to get into and the interview process takes much longer)
- Classroom learning. The lecturers were clearly very skilled in all things coding and have deep knowledge of web development. Unfortunately, that is sometimes not enough to be a great teacher – some lecturers were not able to read the room (majority of students struggling to understand topics), moved through the topics very quickly or found it difficult to explain topics to students with no previous knowledge. My advice to students would be to ask, ask and ask. As soon as something is unclear ask the teacher questions. Most of the time other students will be having the same questions and if you get lost in the first 20 minutes of a lecture it will be very difficult to keep up. I don’t know how much pedagogic training teachers are getting but I feel this would be helpful
- DO THE PREWORK – all of it (especially the Codeacademy Ruby course). This was such a fundamental basis and without it you will have a hard time especially at the start
- Ask questions and make use of the teaching assistants and teachers to clarify concepts you are struggling with
- Have fun and connect with your fellow students – the emotional support and networking opportunities you get from fellow students is second to none
- Give it your all.

I had the time of my life at Le Wagon in Montreal. The course was so well done, the people were amazing and I am so happy with the skills I gained from it. I cannot recommend it enough! I flew from the US to Montreal for the summer cohort and I got to enjoy the beautiful Montreal summer while learning to code. It was such a special time and I still look upon it with such good memories. Thanks MG and the team! -

Le Wagon's Ruby On Rails Web Botcamp is one of the most complete and efficient courses I've ever seen in the programming area. The program's structure is amazing, teachers are highly trained and the didactic material is of the top quality. It is undoubtedly one of the best investments anyone can make in your career.
The course offers a practical and intensive approach to programming learning, allowing students to develop skills in creating complex web applications in just a few weeks. The Hands-On approach ensures that students have the opportunity to immediately apply the concepts learned, which helps to consolidate knowledge and prepare them for real market challenges.
In addition, the community created during the course is a great differential. Students have the opportunity to work on group projects, participate in events and workshops, as well as connect with other developers and entrepreneurs. This all creates an extremely collaborative and enriching environment.
I highly recommend Le Wagon's Ruby On Rails Web Development Bootcamp for those who want to start programming or improve their skills. The course is a great way to dive deep into the software development universe, and learn from the best professionals in the field. The results are visible in a short time, and students have great support throughout the course and then ensuring that they continue to evolve in their careers. -

My name is Williams. I went to the University to study International Commerce when I was 16 years old and it is funny because I worked in that field for 16 years after I graduated when I decided to change career. Originally, I wanted to study Computer Engineering, but I didn't get accepted at the university, so when I found the bootcamp at LeWagon and saw their program I didn’t hesitate to get enrolled. I didn’t have the money to pay for bootcamp nor the bank lended me the money, but I am the type of person that takes obstacles as an invitation to continue insisting until I get what I want. Somehow I got the money to pay for the program and buy the computer! Before the bootcamp the only thing I knew was using vlookup in excel, imagine! But like I say, where there is a limitation or an obstacle I am there, ready to go through it, learn the lesson and move on. What did you like about the bootcamp? I liked its structure (backend, frontend), the content (ruby, ruby on rails, database, CSS, JavaScript, and the project week), the resources available (videos, teachers in each class, slack), the exercises (available 24/7), the frustration (as a little preview for the job market), the interaction between our classmates, the cultural diversity and each one’s background, but what I liked the most was going each Saturday to the campus and seeing my classmates. What are you doing now? I am still studying, but now that I have the structure I was missing I feel confident in the path I am taking. I believe in myself. I go as a turtle, slowly but surely. As I want to continue my journey as a Front End developer I am focusing on JavaScript at the moment. Why did you choose Le Wagon? Because of its origin (created by French engineers and lawyers) and the brand color (red = action). The French are known for being demanding, highly critical, so I knew the bootcamp was going to be of high quality. I also found their group in meetup.com and saw the regularity of activities they were holding, so I trusted in what I saw and didn’t get disappointed. Who would you recommend the bootcamp to? To everybody! As a friend told me before I got enrolled with LeWagon. Today, coding is what excel used to be in the 90’s. The one who knows coding gets the job! It was scary, but the fear won’t disappear until you face it. So I did and so can you. Don’t let your age hold you back. Believe in yourself. You will see that as you get your feet into the program, you will start to see how it works. Obviously the responsibility lies on you. The resources are there, available for you. When there is a will, there is a way, so make your way into programming and trust in LeWagon. -

When I joined Le Wagon, I was a literary translator with absolutely no knowledge of web development. I was worried about not being able to understand a thing and that maybe teachers would'nt take much time with me and would assist only the best students. I was mistaken, and these 2 months of intensive coding have been very rewarding, I've learned a lot and I can for sure say that this bootcamp gave me an opportunity to have a good future with challenges, rewards and a good salary. -

I'm a graphic designer who decided to become a developer a while ago. I already had experience in the field and I knew a bit of coding thanks to some online courses, but I felt that I was lacking a lot of structure and knowledge to get better at my job. Then I found Le Wagon and I attended a lot of their free workshops and events, just to see if they were what I was looking for, and I immediately loved the content and energy they all had. This was one of the best experiences of my life: I had the opportunity to meet great people, got to learn a lot from the TAs and other students, and I really felt that the effort and time I put on this was absolutely rewarding. I also had a great time working on our final project and felt super proud of creating a full and functional app from scratch. Thanks to Le Wagon's bootcamp I finally feel confident to work with my peers and do tasks that I never thought I would.
As a side note, you don't need to have any previous experience! A lot of my classmates were working in completely different areas and we all managed pretty well. I took the part-time bootcamp since I have a full-time job, and I feel that it was perfect for me because I had the time to digest the content and put more work on the final weeks. I have already recommended it to a lot of people and I will definitely keep on doing it. -

At first, I did not have any clue about the Le Wagon organisation when I heard it, however within few google searches I quickly realized how massive of an organisation it is. I started reading reviews and was genuinely surprised to see the success stories of their graduates especially those new in web development. Having the idea it is a recipe that works, I started this course with a lot of hope and ambition. The challenges (exercises) were such real roller of a ride, one moment you feel satisfied about one challenge when completed and one where you are stuck however there is always light at the end of the tunnel whether a quick break or the teachers (and teacher assistant). The whole experience was amazing, unforgettable and will strongly recommend anyone that is willing to change field or entering this field to pursue this course. I am still using and benefiting of the Le Wagon resources available for life. -

Completing the Le Wagon bootcamp in web development is an incredibly satisfying experience that has left me with a newfound sense of self-belief. Now, don't get me wrong, this bootcamp is not for the faint of heart. You need to put in a lot of effort, but the results are absolutely worth it. The brilliant structure and supportive community is incredible and it's amazing how close you become to your fellow bootcampers. I would highly recommend this bootcamp to anyone looking to advance their web development skills. The workload is demanding, but the payoff is well worth it. I am honoured to be part of the Le Wagon alumni community, and I even got to be a TA once I finished, which has been the most amazing opportunity to help me continue to learn and try and help others too. -

Best Learning Experience of my Life

Doing the Web Development bootcamp at Le Wagon Lisbon was the best learning experience I’ve ever had. It offers an intensively immersive and hands-on learning experience, while providing a very welcoming environment for bonding both with my colleagues and all the staff.
The program is designed to equip all the students with (super) practical skills in Web Development, which include Ruby on Rails, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Git, among others. At the end of the bootcamp it allowed me to develop my own projects and explore other frameworks and programming languages, which otherwise I couldn’t. And that’s the key advantage of doing the bootcamp, all the learning is transferrable to other languages, and it equips you to the job market and its specificities.
The teachers at Le Wagon Lisbon are also very knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate about their work. They create a supportive learning environment that encourages collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving. The team is always available to answer questions and provide guidance, making the learning process seamless and enjoyable.
Another aspect that sets Le Wagon Lisbon apart is its community. The bootcamp has a strong alumni network that supports and inspires current students to achieve their goals. There are regular networking events, job fairs, and talks that help students connect with potential employers, industry leaders, and peers. Wrapping up, for any questions you might have, the community is there for you.
Overall, Le Wagon Lisbon is a fantastic Web Development bootcamp that offers excellent value for money. Nonetheless, don’t be misguided, the program is intensive and very challenging, but in the end the reward you get from it surpasses by a gigantic extent the value you paid for it. -

After leaving my job as a BIM modeler many years back & drifting from one odd job to the other, I decided that I had to venture out of my comfort zone and pick up a new skill to stay relevant in the working world.
I stumbled upon Le Wagon's bootcamp when searching online, and gave the course a try due to their affordable fees and great reviews. It was honestly a daunting challenge going through the bootcamp, since I came from a mostly design-based industry and programming was entirely foreign to me.
With the help of our teachers, teaching assistants and like-minded classmates who were all striving to work hard together, it turned out to be an amazing experience. I was astonished with what I could do and build on my own after the course, and I was proud to showcase our group's production website on my portfolio & resume.
Coding might be really tough, especially if it's all entirely new to you. You might feel like giving up halfway, but the teachers are very patient and willing to guide you through, even for the minor stuff. I would recommend anyone who is looking to career-switch to give it at try! -

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! -

Le Wagon was a great learning experience. To be honest, I learned more than I expected from a bootcamp and I was impressed by what I could build at the end of the nine weeks (and I was a complete beginner, never coded in my life before). It's intense but their methodology is awesome, you really learn by doing. And their online learning platform is really well built, it's a great support in addition to the teachers and teacher assistant. You can find recording of every class and detailed correction of each exercice as well as detailed tutorials, really useful (and the best for me is that you keep your access to it after the bootcamp, you even get access to the update/new class they post). Beyond the learning experience, I really enjoyed my time there because I got to meet a really diverse group of people in term of age and experiences (which you rarely do in your job or even in university). I wanted to do Le Wagon to improve my tech skills before starting my own tech company, I applied because a lot of people told me good thins about it but I was not certain it was the best move when I started (afraid it might be a loss of time/money), in the end I really don't regret it! -

I come from a business background and have worked primarily in strategy consulting and finance roles across asset management, management consulting and Tech companies. As I was preparing for my entrepreneurial journey as the next step, I wanted to learn coding to gain some technical skills. Among the options I’ve explored, I chose Le Wagon mainly due to strong recommendations from my friends who already went through Le Wagon.
It was a such an eye-opening experience. 9 week course felt like a big time investment initially, but I’m so glad I took this course at Le Wagon Singapore.
The course is intense and fast-paced as expected, especially given I had almost zero coding background. The first week was particularly tough but I soon found the right rhythm thanks to fantastic course materials, learning infrastructure and most all, amazing teachers and Le Wagon staffs. I found the course format to be effective. A daily class started with 1-2 hours of lecture but the rest of day was for solving coding challenges and/or live-coding with a teacher.
The final project was one of highlights of the course. It allowed me to translate my learnings into building an actual product - from designing database structure, user journey, prototype to pushing the product on server. I also worked in a fantastic team of 4 and I learned how to work in a team using different collaboration tools (eg Github) and project management processes (eg Scrum).
Overall, the course taught me the concepts of programming and how to apply them to solve problems. Gaining technical knowledge was one, but what was more meaningful includes:
- i) it lowered my psychological barrier for coding (coding used to feel like one giant mystery for me prior to Le Wagon)
- ii) building something from scratch felt very empowering
- iii) learning how to work as a team for building a tech product which required a different way of working vs collaborating for a strategy consulting project
I would highly recommend Le Wagon to anyone who’s exploring a coding bootcamp to join, and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat :) -

Amazing experience. The bootcamp took us from an early starting point (unlike Web Development, the bootcamp has some requirements in basic python and maths) to capable professionals in 9 weeks. The system, based on a short theory introduction and a full day of coding and challenges, works wonders in building confidence, and makes learning the concepts natural. Would highly recommend. -

I recently completed the Le Wagon Web Development Bootcamp and it was an incredible experience. After several years working as a Landscape Architect but always with a strong passion for technologies I want to give it a try and make a career change that could allow me to work remotely and still be creative. I had been trying to teach myself coding for a while but found it difficult to know where to start and after some research I decided to go for Le Wagon. It was one of the best decisions of my life.
The bootcamp is intense and immersive, and it is important to be fully committed to the program. The curriculum includes Ruby, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and other web development concepts, and the program is fully structured with access to a wealth of resources. The teachers are all passionate and dedicated, and most of them have completed the bootcamp themselves, so they understand the challenges students face. They are always available to help and go above and beyond to support their students.
One of the most impressive aspects of the bootcamp is the final project, where we were able to build a website from scratch. At the end of the 9 weeks, I felt confident in my ability to create a product on my own. The Le Wagon community is also incredibly supportive, with access to alumni and a dedicated community even after graduation.
I highly recommend this bootcamp to anyone looking to develop new skills, change careers, or build a product on their own. -

I will cherish for the rest of my life this experience because I made the decition to apply for this Web Development bootcamp in a very stagnat phase of my professional life and this bootcamp has given me tools (from learning resources to a vast alumni community network) to create a more creative professional life. Whenever I have the opportunity I will recommend Le Wagon! -

Data Science @Le Wagon

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. -

Le Wagon is really so much more than just a bootcamp! I chose the online, part time option, and I was really not disappointed! You grow really close to the teachers and your classmates over the 6 months of the course, and I just can't believe that I managed to learn new complicated skills in such a short time (I knew close to nothing about coding before I started). Really, the teachers al all there to lift your spirits when it gets more difficult and this experience is quite life changing, literally! I finished Le Wagon with solid friendships, connections and skills, and I found a job before even finishing the course! I'm so glad I went for it and I didn't give up when I felt like maybe I wasn't made for this, and it's all thanks to the amazing teachers and Le Wagon. I also love that we have a great network when we finish and that you have the possibility of becoming a teacher yourself! All in all, would absolutely recommend! -

Une expérience vraiment incroyable!
I made Le Wagon Web Developper bootcamp in Bordeaux and it was amazing. I learned so much in 9 weeks. The teachers was great and the teachers assistants as well. It was quiet difficult the 2 first weeks but the pedagogy make sense. Thanks so much to the team ;) -

As someone looking to make a career change into the tech industry, I was drawn to the Full-stack Web Development Bootcamp from Le Wagon. With a background in hospitality and limited experience in web development, I was looking for a comprehensive and immersive program that would help me build a solid foundation in web development and learn the latest technologies. The bootcamp covered a wide range of topics, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ruby on Rails, and more. Each topic was presented in a clear and concise manner, with plenty of hands-on exercises to practice what I had learned. There was also the emphasis on best practices and industry standards in web development. As someone with a background in a different field, I found it helpful to understand the reasoning behind certain approaches and technologies. The bootcamp included several projects, such as a Airbnb clone and a final project based on an individual product pitch, which allowed me to apply my new skills in a real-world context. During the final project phase of the bootcamp, I was able to use my experience in hospitality to inform the design and functionality of my web application. With the guidance of my instructors, I was able to create a mobile-first web application that streamlines the ordering process for restaurant owners, making it easier for them to manage their inventory and orders. Overall, I found the course materials to be of high quality and well-suited for my learning style. The instructors, who were all experienced developers, were friendly and engaging,, and they were always available to answer questions and provide guidance. One of the things I appreciated most about the bootcamp was the supportive and collaborative learning environment. My classmates came from a variety of backgrounds and had varying levels of experience, but we all supported and learned from each other. Overall, I highly recommend the Full-stack Web Development Bootcamp from Le Wagon to anyone looking to learn web development from scratch or expand their existing knowledge, especially those looking to make a career change into the tech industry. The instructors are knowledgeable and supportive, and the course materials are top-notch. I feel much more confident in my web development skills and my ability to succeed in the tech industry after completing this bootcamp, and I'm excited to continue learning and building projects on my own. -

Amazing experience with Batch #1058!

I recently completed a web development course at Le Wagon coding bootcamp in Montreal and I have to say, it was an unforgettable experience. One of the aspects I appreciated the most about the bootcamp was the focus on practical skills. Significant time was spent working on projects and building our own web applications, which gave us the opportunity to put what we learned into practice and see firsthand results. The course was intense and required a lot of dedication, but the support from the instructors and my batch (#1058) of fellow students made it manageable. It was a great experience to be able to learn from and work with people from different backgrounds and with different experiences. Overall, I highly recommend Le Wagon coding bootcamp.
