Game-changer experience.

It all started when I was 15 years old. A super criative teenager, in love with creation and innovation, good abilities on computer and techonology itself. I started a course about website creation, using ASP.net but at the time I was so young to understand how to make money with it and life took another path. The love to work with projects and creative ideas remained for years and walked side by side while I was a salesman. I worked for 12 years in the commercial department and learned a lot on how to deal with people and everyday problems, closing good deals and understanding more about customer relationship. In the middle of the pandemic I really looked into my carreer and despite of being a good salesman, I really didn't see a future for what I was doing and thought about my great passion of working with projects and solving real problems with innovation. So I started talking to my friends and my cousin told my about Le Wagon and the experience that he had, the job opportunities he was receiving and it motivated me to look into it. I confess being nervous at the very beginning since I was putting aside 12 years of carreer to start over again. But it was worth it every moment. Le Wagon has a method of learning that puts you to code all day long and the interaction with other students makes all the difference. I could share my difficulties to learn and my solutions to help others. As time goes by I started to realize how much things were making sense in the bootcamp. So after learning about the stacks, database and some tools to work for a full application, I had the chance to work with a group for 2 complete projects and that was a real challenge. We had to plan, think about the design, the patterns and how we aspect the platform to behave. It was amazing and we definitely had support for this, which made all the difference. All these interactions and the materials to learn made the bootcamp at Le Wagon so special and unique. Not mentioning the network with devs and friends that keeps us in touch to this day. Now I'm a Full-Stack Web Developer and really enjoying this new life with challenging projects and the chance to put my ideas to help solving real life problems. -

LeWagon Rio is awesome!
It was such a challenging but rewarding time. I learned a lot. It also felt like becoming part of a little family here in Rio.
I think anyone who is seriously thinking of breaking into tech this is a great opportunity. If you're serious about being a programmer, in my opinion it would help a lot though to have some prior knowledge. -

Best experience of my life

I enrolled in the full-time Web Development bootcamp in January 2022 at Le Wagon’s Sao Paulo school. At first I was a bit insecure because I have spent the last 15 years working as a movie editor and creative director and for years thought about a career transition. But since the very first moment I felt welcome and secure to share my insecurities and doubts.Even though the course is very intense (and sometimes overwhelming), teachers, assistants and colleagues were always there to pick me up and help me. The mantra “Trust the methodology” is absolutely true: everyday you’re constantly using what you have previously learned. That way, you end up having a solid base to develop your knowledge, even if you don’t have any programming previous knowledge. The methodology of working in pairs or groups really gives you a sense of companionship and prepares you to real live jobs, building a sense of collaboration and constant communication.
After you finish the bootcamp you have lifetime access to the platform with all the lessons and a session to be in touch with students from Le Wagon all around the world. There, you can ask for help, share knowledge and there are tons of ex-students sharing job opportunities. I thought that I was only going to learn how to code but the sense of community that Le Wagon have really makes me feel like I belong, even now, 6 months after finishing the bootcamp. I even go there from time to time to spend the day working and clearing doubts with the teachers and friends I made there. It was, without doubt, the best experience I have ever had. -

I did Le Wagon in Paris this spring 2022. It was a very intense, yet rewarding experience. Le Wagon gives you the opportunity to strongly grasp web development (back & front) and product management concepts. Mornings are for the lectures with skilled (and patient) teachers, and afternoons filled with exercises on the topic. Whether it be for exercises or end projects, the bootcamp forces you to meet and collectively work with your pairs. That's a great introduction to team work in companies. So overall, go for it if you want to learn web dev concepts (if you're into product, or want to start your business). If you want to switch to a dev career, this gives you a strong basis on which to build upon. -

I have a wonderful memory of this summer! Nice atmosphere with a great team of teachers and assistants, and of course with so many nice classmates! All is well organized and the curriculum is well designed with a big part of practice which is helpful to further understand the subject. -

Simply one of the best courses I have taken this summer 2022 in a well organised virtual environment (Zoom, Ubuntu, VS Code, Jupyter Notebook) and online platform (GitHub, Ubuntu), with experienced, dynamic, patient, and available international teachers to help you with the challenges offered every day. A fulfilling and caring atmosphere that pushes you to do your best and collaborate in an international environment with students from all over the world.The programme is extensive and includes coding on Python, data sourcing (SQL, API, CSV, web scrapping), data visualisation, data analysis, mathematics, decision science, data science (machine learning with unsupervised learning, NLP, time series, deep learning), even a short data engineering section (Train at Scale, Cloud Training, Predict in Production, User Interface), and of course a final real data science project to create and learn how to collaborate with the different specific skills of teammates. A Career Week is also offered to support, encourage, and help us to create a CV, a portfolio, and an attractive Linkedin Profile, with lots of job meetings to prepare proposed.The pace is very intense and requires good preparation in Python coding, algebra, statistics and the virtual environment, offered by the bootcamp a few weeks before the start of the course. -

I've studied in respected institutions in Brazil and Europe throughout my academic and professional life. So I can assure you that you can't go wrong on Le Wagon. This Bootcamp was the best course I have ever done. It's organized, clear, effective, and right to the point. Le Wagon is not expensive because it is worth every dime, it's an investment. You don't simply learn how to code, you learn the developer's workflow and how to work in a team. You gain not just coding knowledge but professional skills. The material is excellent and you have unlimited access to it. The teachers and classes are great and you have full support the whole time. Their methodology takes you beyond your expectations. The environment they create makes you miss them after you finish the Bootcamp. It's amazing! And if still think these are not enough, you can also count on their alumni network. It's all over the world! So if you want to change your career or just want to start coding don't think twice. It can be a game changer in your life. -

I did the Le Wagon - Web Development full-time bootcamp which is 9 weeks. The Instructors were amazing at explaining the curriculum in a clear concise(frequently down-to-earth) way. The curriculum is packed with information but is broken down in a way that I felt was understandable and relatively easy to follow. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone that is trying to break into the programming industry. -

My experience at Le Wagon was simply the best both human and learning experience I have ever had. The teachers and TA's are amazing, they really give the best of themselves to help us go through it all and become developers. After a while they really feel like family.
The program is really well designed, in such a way that even a total beginner, if he is willing to go through all the steps, can become a junior developer in 9 weeks of intensive training.
I am very grateful to Le Wagon, they helped me find my way and I couldn't be happier for going through the programm. So if you feel like you want to become a developer, don't hesiatet, that's the place you want to go! -

Couldn't have been any better!

Over the past few years I have completed a number of courses (mainly for my previous career as a language teacher), but none have had the quality that Le Wagon offers and taught me so much in such a short time.
My experience with Le Wagon's remote course was worth every penny, without a shadow of a doubt. Although it was online, I can’t imagine having a better syllabus with more supportive and knowledgeable staff. The highlight was the collaborative nature of the programme. Every day, we had a buddy with whom we could discuss the days challenges, and during the final three weeks, we built two projects in a team of four. This is what makes Le Wagon unique.
The teachers and teaching assistants were brilliant. They were very knowledgeable, encouraging and made the lessons fun and engaging, and ensured that everyone was keeping up with the pace. For those who struggled in the first few weeks, they did a great job of giving them extra help. As a previous teacher myself, I can definitely say that they genuinely care about their students' success and know what they're doing.
Whereas some other bootcamps guarantee a job at the end of the programme, I have no doubt that Le Wagon was the best way to prepare me for a career in web development. I am confident that I have skills necessary to get a junior position, and after one week, I have already been offered a temporary internship.
Finally, it was so much fun (especially the coding tournaments!) and I met some amazing people who I'm sure I will stay in touch with. Le Wagon is great at building a community, which people stay a part of way after the end of the bootcamp. -

For everyone who wants to take Data Science course - it really worth your money. BUT always remember - there's no magic. No-one will magically put all the information to your head or find you a job immediately! It's a big misconception. Signing up to the course you will not buy knowledge. So, you have to still study and work! It's all up to you! Be serious about it.
About Le Wagon: the course is really well structured and very nice. Covered most of the topics I did not expect (I had some experience in D.S already but Le Wagon really did a good job to impress me beyond my imagination). -

Intense Bootcamp
I decided to join the Le Wagon data science bootcamp due to the good reviews they had, and I was not disappointed, the system is great for learning in general, and specifically learning everything you need for the field, when stuck, the TAs are incredible helping you figure out your issue or explaining what you don't understand, the bootcamp is exhausting but very rewarding in the end. -

Le Wagon data science bootcamp, great experience!!
I am not going to lie, was intense, you need to be really motivate to go through, but the experience has been great, and the level you acquire in just three months is unbelievable, I completely recommend for those who are looking for going into data science but don't know how. Really well structure, and they give you the tools to keep improving your skills after the bootcamp. -

Coming from a background in law, I was intimidated to venture into the programming world, and from the first interaction with Le Wagon, it's been nothing but encouragement and quality teaching. I am incredibly impressed with the community spirit built out by the staff in the Amsterdam office who regularly organised events for us all, as well as the quality of the teaching. Never did you feel alone or lost navigating the difficult topics, and no question was considered silly - it is a fun environment to learn a new set of skills and the curriculum is well structured to give you a strong foundation before you go ahead and ultimately build out your projects at the end of the course.
I could not recommend it more to anyone thinking about getting into the space, it's been a super enjoyable adventure which ended up with a job shortly afterward!
Above and beyond my expectations which I had already set high! -

Le Wagon has given me the tools to begin a new career in tech. Not only how to code but how to design an application from start to finish, how to communicate within a team, create work flows and they provide endless resources and support for future development as a Full Stack Developer. I highly recommend this bootcamp to everyone.
The teachers are one for the biggest pros! They are super helpful and kind. They help you understand the problem and guide you towards the solution. They also support you in general, they have done this bootcamp and they know the struggles that come with the bootcamp and know how to comfort you when times are tough.
There's no grading system which takes some of the pressure off and also motivates you to be better for yourself.
This course is intense. It can be overwhelming if you don't make it your main focus for the 9 week duration. So stress can surface especially if haven't learnt in a while. I had some issues keeping up at times but I kept going, did my best and with the support from Le Wagon, the TAs and my fellow Alumni it was enough. -

Joining Le Wagon's bootcamp is one of the best decisions I've made. I used to work as a sales representative for 7 years when I decide to switch fields.The program is the perfect balance between lessons (10%), and practice (90%), and it's always up to date with the latest techniques. Each day you crunch exercises with a buddy, surrounded by teachers and assistants always available to help you.It is intensive, but the progress you've made each day/week worth it. They give you everything you need to succeed.I've loved it so much that I'm now an assistant teacher myself, returning regularly to help new students to get that wonderful experience. -

Le Wagon Web Development course was an awesome experience, both from a technical and interpersonal standpoint.
I came from a management background, including product development and operations leadership.
Following the bootcamp, I am finally able to quickly connect my past experience with my new technical capabilities, prototyping by myself and greatly increasing the impact I can have on a team.
The buddy system and learning platforms are huge facilitators and motivation boosters.
It is 100% a career booster, whether someone is looking for a new field to explore, or a stepping-stone in their current area, and the network you will make along the way is life-changing! -

After several years in research and in a consulting company, I quit my job for a professional reorientation. I started learning HTML, CSS and JavaScript by myself during 6 months but I was not entirely satisfied with my progress that's why I decided to join a bootcamp. I hesitated between several and after a call with an alumni I chose Le Wagon and I don't regret it. It was an amazing two months experience. There is a perfect balance between courses and practical exercises. The staff is really competent and caring. It is really intensive but it's worth it !! Moreover you can continue to work with La Wagon after the bootcamp as a freelance assistant teacher where you continue to learn and have the possibility to pass on what you have learnt. There is also a big community on slack where you can find job opportunities and help for you projects during and after Le Wagon.
An advice ? Don't think just do it ! -

I decided to join Le Wagon one year ago and I don't regret it at all. They taught me what I needed to then work in Data Science but they also taught me how to learn by myself to keep on improving even after. The staff is super friendly, the teacher and teacher assistant are patient, pedagogical and always keen to help during the bootcamp and after. The amount of knowledge covered is extensive and you also have access to a lot of ressources online. Joining Le Wagon is more than joining a bootcamp, it is becoming part of a community ! -

Amazing Data Science Course

This data science bootcamp was a life-changing experience! I cannot stop raving about it.I was amazed, it is an incredible course that manages to teach an impressive level of knowledge in just 9 weeks, while staying stimulating and fun!
The Experience:In the mornings, the lectures equip you with the knowledge you will need for the day. After this, you are set up with a buddy at a table of four to work on challenging exercises to test that knowledge yourself. It allows very hands-on learning and for you to work at your own pace while also being able to exchange ideas or questions with your buddy or table. At the end of the day, the recap hour solidifies everything you have learned. Throughout the whole day, you are able to ask questions to a team of teachers, either to further expand your understanding of the new concepts, or to help when you are stuck on an exercise.
There is a very strong sense of community which is present from the very beginning. This is emphasised by many afternoon and evening events put together by the motivated LeWagon team. Examples are yoga, cross-fit training, and the famous code and drinks event. At the end of the bootcamp, you create and develop a project from start to finish in 2 weeks. This allows for a very interesting turn of events and a high-pressure experience as you code with very little guidance from teachers, and are truly tested on what you have learned.
What this experience gave me:At the end of the bootcamp, I was able to take a two-day exam which gave me a qualification worth EQF level 6 (European Qualifications Framework, Bachelor level). On top of that, I have access to the whole Le Wagon network across the globe, keeping me up to date with evolutions in the field, social events and job opportunities. With this bootcamp on my resume, I have gotten several job and internship offers. I have a whole new group of friends in Paris, with a very active group chat to this day. We meet up all the time. The most valuable part was that this course showed me just how many opportunities were out there and inspired me to learn more, push myself, and explore my interests in coding and data science further. -

It is amazing how much we can learn in just 9 weeks! With days very well structured, we have theoretical course and mostly exercises to train ourselves against all the new features a web developer should know.

I did le Wagon in order to make a career change, and I don't regret it a bit. The 9-week program is intense, and might seem overwhelming at first, but as you work in pair every day, have the teachers and the teacher assistants, everything is there to help you during the lesson of the day. They also provide a lot of resources during and after the boot camp to help you even further.It was a great experience overall, everyone is professional and passionate, and you will meet a lot of people from different horizons. I highly recommend this formation, it is really worth it and will help you in your future project for sure!

After 10 years working in finance and then in marketing, and a few years looking at the tech teams without daring to take the plunge, I (finally) decided to enroll in le Wagon. The 9 weeks of training were intense, enriching, vibrant and went by way too fast! The Wagon's pedagogy is based on a some theory, a lot of practice, mutual aid and projects. The teachers and assistants are of great quality and the atmosphere is guaranteed. And it works! 8 months later I'm a back-end developer in a scaleup, I've been an assistant teacher myself and I joined a super invested tech community of le Wagon alumnis. So thank you le Wagon! 🙂 -

Full Time Web Development Bootcamp - Amazing!

After looking into several code schools and having tried online courses, I decided in July 2022 to start the full-time Le Wagon Web Development boot camp in Lisbon. The boot camp contains of 9 weeks of fast-paced learning how to code plus 1 week that is focused on a career in tech. The journey was an amazing roller-coaster ride, with emotional highs and lows. But that is exactly how the Le Wagon program is designed, to make sure you perform at your maximum learning capabilities. The buddy system of Le Wagon makes sure that you’re not alone, you and your daily assigned buddy will work together on assignments during the day, that relates to the morning lectures. There are also Teachers and Assistants available every day to guide you with their knowledge. They are really amazing, not just with their knowledge, but also with their patience, humour and encouragement (which you will need from time to time!). The last 3 weeks of coding, you work in a small group on projects, teaching you also how to work together in a team. It’s been an amazing journey, where I learned a lot of new coding techniques, web design skills and met amazing fellow-minded individuals. Even though it was tough at times (it’s a boot camp after all!), I loved every minute of it! -

I was a Psychologist looking for a career change as a Web Developer. I had no previous coding experience.
At Le Wagon Web Development Bootcamp Lisbon I found a learn-by-doing training approach with a complete curriculum. The course is very well structured, the teachers are very supportive, and I can't believe what I have learned in just nine weeks!
There is a focus on learning to learn (essential to keep progressing afterwards), and many relevant resources are at your disposal. I loved the buddy system, where you learn by helping out a classmate or by practising how to do better questions.
The environment was motivating and easygoing. The more you commit, the more you take out of the Bootcamp.
After a Career Week that gave me valuable tips for the tech job market, I feel empowered to look for my new Junior Web Dev position. -

In the beginning, I didn't know what to expect but it was for sure better than any expectations. The staff, super helpful and friendly, always there when needed. The curriculum, even if some times too intense, was always on point and at the end, everything made sense.
Very cosy environment, with enough non-coding activities, that kept the concentration levels high when necessary , helped all the members of the class connect and created a family atmosphere throughout the bootcamp. The teachers, with endless patience, knowledge and energy to guide and assist, from the simplest to the most complicated challenges.
A truly worthy investment that I would recommend to anyone in search for a career change path or a purposeful learning experience. -

The first day I step in Le Wagon Lisbon I could feel their passion. Le Wagon Lisbon crew is absolutely amazing! Ana, Miguel, Pedro, Chiara all TA's 10/10 ❤️.
Le Wagon provides more than just code training. You acquire the mindset of a developer 🤓 and a work methodology. I really feel empowered and ready to start a new chapter in my career. The bootcamp material is great, classes, live-codes everything work very well.
I used to read the reviews and I thought maybe they were a little bit exaggerated, but they are not. I truly recommend Le Wagon 🔟 / 🔟 to anyone wanting to develop new skills, change careers or be able to build a product on their own.

The Le Wagon experience was exceptional both educationally and humanely. Personally, I started the bootcamp with very little acquired code, and I was struck by the amount of things learned and mastered at the end of these 9 weeks. The teachers are very pedagogical, present and the assistant teachers are a great help. I found the perfect balance between teaching and practice. It really helps you get up to speed quickly with the information learned. What also helps enormously is the "family" atmosphere of the bootcamp, everyone works together and helps each other on problems, it's very rewarding. Taken together, I highly recommend this bootcamp for beginners but also those who already have coding experience, everyone finds something enriching for their background.
