Just what I needed
Amazing experience, Teacher & Staff are really helpful and attentive.
They do their best to keep a good atmosphere.
The first 3 weeks are really difficult but after that everybody could enjoy their coding session.
The project periode is stressful but really rewarding
Thanks to you all -

It made all the difference !

Initially, I was very intimidated by the idea of doing a bootcamp. I thought, “No, I’ll just learn at my own pace, I can teach myself.” While I was able to get a good start with the Internet as my teacher, it was a chaotic process of sifting through conflicting philosophies and heavy jargon that often left me feeling demoralized. Thankfully, my interest didn’t die and I found myself willing to commit to Le Wagon’s Full Stack 9-week intensive bootcamp; and I’m so happy I did. The rate of my learning picked up tenfold. I thrived being in an environment where others were challenging themselves and struggling and pushing through. It was deeply inspiring to collaborate with others and see them grow in their skills and as people in such a short period of time. And yes, even surprise myself with my own logic and creative approaches. To go from being scared of the command line to deploying a functioning web application by the end of the course showed me what we are capable of accomplishing when we work together and trust the process. Now I’m able to transfer my skills to continue learning, with much less baggage and insecurity, and work with others dealing with evermore intricate and elaborate projects. I’m excited for what the future holds!! -

That was such an amazing experience ! I learned web development with Le Wagon's bootcamp in the campus of Bordeaux, France. 9 weeks to become a developer is unbelievable but it's possible thanks to top-quality lessons, great teaching from experienced teachers (who also did Le Wagon's bootcamp before) and a very useful peer-to-peer learning. Great vibes will all the staff, teachers and students during these 9 weeks ! -

Before enrolling at LeWagon, I've done some research on the existing boot camps. I was following their social media for more than a year, I subscribed to their newsletters. I attended several free tutorials. I wanted to ensure that I would feel comfortable studying with these people and that they have the knowledge to transmit.
From my perspective, Le Wagon had all of that.
I switched to DS from linguistics with some programming knowledge and I was afraid of not keeping up with the curriculum, but honestly, Le Wagon makes everything for you to succeed and you just need to take your part of the responsibility and work hard :D. For my learning path, I chose a part-time schedule because of my full-time job. The advantage of it is that I could spend more time on subjects that I had some difficulties with.
This curriculum gave me a strong understanding of basic concepts and an intuition of the field itself. 6 months of hard work resulted in wonderful AI projects that we were able to architect and code ourselves.
The teachers and TAs were great as well, every time they managed to put into simple words difficult subjects. And in general, the staff of Le Wagon really impressed me: polite, nice, professional, and always there for you. The energy of Le Wagon is encouraging to learn and to network.
After the BootCamp itself, we had a career week with great speakers and tons of valuable advice. -

Informative and well organised
Le Wagon is a perfect blend of intensive learning and challenges to help you get a full rounded education on Web Development. I would happily recommend this course to anyone that is interested in learning to code and has little to no prior knowledge of coding. -

Well-coordinated hands-on Bootcamp

The Bootcamp of Le Wagon was right from the beginning very well organized. The admission process was fast and very friendly. Before the start all necessary information were shared to guarantee a smooth beginning on the first day. During the Bootcamp there is a lot a content to follow, but due to the lectures with the teachers in the morning and the exercise in the afternoon, which you can solve together with a buddy group and if necessary additional help of teaching assistants it is a lot of fun to dive into the topics. Learning how to code can feel a bit overwhelming at first, but Le Wagon is really taking care that you don't feel alone with it and will master it eventually. In the final project work you can work on real products and learn how to contribute on Github and do pair programming. There are a lot of additional activities to become part of the International community and meet like minded people. It was a really valuable experience and I can highly recommend. -

Le Wagon Web Development Bootcamp

After I decided to shift my career into the tech industry, I needed someplace to start where I could learn tech skills. After extensive research of university and bootcamp programs, I decided to go with Le Wagon Montreal Coding Bootcamp. What was attractive to me is that the bootcamp was planned to be on-site, face-to-face with teachers. Since I did not have any coding background, being physically present inside the classroom and having everyday interactions with teachers, and classmates were very important to me. Even though everyday coding challenges were tough, and reading and lectures were hard to grasp, I was able to learn the fundamentals of computer programming. Moreover, by the end of the bootcamp I started feeling comfortable in addressing coding challenges, finding answers to technical questions, and thinking like a programmer. There are still lots of things to learn, but thanks to Le Wagon I now have all the basic knowledge to continue my journey in the tech industry. -

Learning real world skills with great people
Le Wagon does a great job in bringing together all different aspects and skills that are involved in creating modern, responsive web applications. I feel ready to work on my next (real life) project. Thank you for that! -
Aurélie COUDERT
Amazing experience !
Nine intensive weeks of training to become a full stack web developer. Teachers were very professionnal, helpful and always took the time to explain the concepts. We learned HTML5, CSS, Javascript, SQL, how to use Figma, how to work in group and during the last three weeks, we launched two websites ! We are now ready to get hired !! -

Excellent Full Stack Curriculum
Le Wagon has one heck of a reputation and it did not disappoint! I have just graduated from the part-time remote Web Development course and it was very well structured. If you're worried about learning remotely - then please don't! I was very well supported. -
Daniel Santos
fulfilled challenging rewarding
This boot camp for me was one of the best adventures of my life really I never have done anything like this before, and I love it. I did the boot camp while still working and probably was not optimal because the boot camp requires a lot from you, and sometimes I felt overwhelmed but we need to trust the process and above all trust in our brains. -

I recently had the chance to attend the Le Wagon Data Science bootcamp and I was blown away by the experience. The course material was comprehensive and covered a wide range of topics including machine learning, deep learning, data analysis, data products management. The instructors were highly knowledgeable and passionate about their subject matter, and they were always willing to go the extra mile to help us understand the concepts. They fostered a collaborative and supportive learning environment that allowed us to learn from each other as well as from them.In addition to the technical skills I gained, I also appreciated the emphasis on soft skills like communication and teamwork. These skills will be invaluable as I continue to grow my career in the data science field.Overall, I highly recommend the Le Wagon Data Science bootcamp to anyone looking to enter the field or to enhance their existing skills. It was a truly rewarding and transformative experience that I will always be grateful for. -

The Online Data Science Course from Le Wagon is really intense. Everyday we start with lectures and then we have several exercises to apply what was explained. During the exercises we always have the teachers available who help us whenever we have questions.
At the end of the bootcamp we developed a project in group.
I really feel that I've learned all the basis to work with Data Science!
Thank you Le Wagon team! -

I have recently graduated from the online part-time web development bootcamp, and I am very happy I've made the decision to enroll in the first place. The teachers and staff are welcoming, helpful and professional, the curriculum covered several topics (Ruby, OOP, DB, frontend, rails) that enabled us to develop two final projects - something I've never thought would be already possible! I got to make new friends and useful connections - the Le Wagon community is huge, international, and a great help to find resources, projects and career opportunities. -

During three months of boot camp, I had the best experience for learning.
TAs and classmates are also good. Although the class is challenging, we are learning from 9 am to 6 pm, but it is worth it.
For the last two weeks, we all have our project based on what we learned from the boot camp. We had excellent teamwork and support from Le Wagon too. Our final project presentation is also available on Youtube.
Suppose you want to change your career and learn data. I recommend Le Wagon.

Rewarding experience!

I was initially looking for a Bootcamp for UX design. I am an Architect looking for a career change. I tried self-learning UX online and realized I needed to invest to get proper guidance. My priority was to become part of a strong community. None of UX Bootcamps convinced me so I started to look for Full-Stack Web Developer Bootcamps. I knew this was a good background knowledge to have as UX designer. So why not invest in Full-Stack Development and find my way into UX Design from there?
When I read Le Wagon I was quickly drawn to their method and way of thinking. 1) Focused on learning the basics fast with an intuitive language such as Ruby. I knew Ruby wasn't as popular as Javascript, for example, but I also knew that it was a beautiful and fun language to start from. 2) The possibility to study full-time on-site. 3) I noticed that their framework was also focused for Startups and this aligned with my personality. I am entrepreneurial and this made me curious.
Le Wagon didn't disappoint me at all and actually exceeded my expectations. The teachers are great, the environment feels great and I also had the feeling during the last week, Career Week, that the community is very strong. Because I enjoyed the Bootcamp so much, I am currently looking for a job as a Full-Stack Developer with a background in UX and not vise-versa. :) I am confident Le Wagon will support me in the following months during my job search. -

life-changing
I absolutely loved my experience at Le Wagon! I felt very supported by all teachers and other students. Le wagon gave me enough confidence and knowledge to start my career in web development. I do not have a job yet, but I am on my way. Would definitely do it again :) -

Before the Bootcamp, I was working in a company in the Purchasing department until I discovered coding as my new interest, which made me change my professional path. I found Le Wagon, I visited one Demo Day and after it was clear, I wanted to do this Bootcamp (one of my best life decisions). I really enjoyed the 9 weeks, I like the way the Bootcamp is structured, the learning and the different teachers we had. On top, there is a work week at the end, which is helpful to know where to begin after the Bootcamp. -

The learning atmosphere at Le Wagon Berlin is extremely motivating and the structure of the course and resources is extremely well thought through. I really loved going there every day and learnt so much in such a short time! I would highly recommend this bootcamp because in the last three weeks you also learn how to design, implement and deploy web apps as a team and how to work with your peers together on GitHub - which is so important to prepare you for your job as a developer. -

Great bootcamp. It was an intense experience that helped me transition from a law career to a tech career in less than 2 months and I also met a lot of great people while being a student there. It really teaches you the basis needed to become a good software developer. -

Effective learning environment, facilitating community

I was a student of Le Wagon Berlin’s fulltime web development bootcamp and would definitely recommend it to anyone who would like to become a full stack developer. I learned a lot in a relatively short period of time and enjoyed it very much. As an experienced educator, I know how significantly the learning environment can affect the learning experience and outcomes. Le Wagon does a great job in providing an environment that facilitates concentration, dedication, and feeling of belonging.
As a student, it was important for me to work with people who actually like doing their jobs. When the student perceives that the teaching team does not only care about the student, but takes joy in the activity itself, it is easier for them to engage in the activity. And it is not only the teaching team, but the entire Le Wagon staff work hard to not leave anyone behind in the process. They continuously track student progress and offer help in wide ranging ways to make those 10 weeks of the student go as smooth and productive as possible. I believe this demonstrates a healthy community spirit that is also reflected to the extracurricular activities they all do together.
Le Wagon, probably like other bootcamps in programming, is also appealing considering the student profile it draws. The profile is astonishingly diverse, while most of these people are bright in quite different ways, partially on account of their past education and experiences. Le Wagon does a good job leveraging this diversity to create a community that anyone would find personally enriching. -

I completed the full-time web development bootcamp at Le Wagon and have nothing but good things to say about it! I went in knowing very little about coding (I have a background in healthcare) and came out of it feeling as though I had the tools and knowledge to get a junior developer role. The curriculum was fast-paced but there was always support available with the TAs and teachers. The most valuable thing that I learned was how to learn (and apply the knowledge). The campus was open and welcoming and I really enjoyed learning in-person as it felt much more immersive than virtual learning. The students and staff were a definite cherry on top and I made friends for life :) -

Une expérience inoubliable

Ce sont 9 semaines intenses et inoubliables que j’ai passées au Wagon cette année ! J’ai énormément appris, tant des enseignants que des étudiants qui ont apporté une effervescence particulière à mon Batch 🙂!
Je recherchais une formation en présentiel, n’ayant pas d’experience au départ dans l’IT et la Data. Mon choix s’est porté vers Le Wagon pour la qualité de l’accompagnement, la possibilité de passer une certification, et le super réseau qu’il permet d’intégrer. Je conseille vivement de sauter le pas pour vivre une aventure humaine et d’apprentissage riche. L’équipe encadrante est géniale, les supports pédagogiques sont bien construits et restent accessibles avec des MAJ régulières. Les activités annexes sont un vrai plus si vous pouvez y participer (sport, entretien avec des entreprises du secteur, "career week" pour mieux intégrer le monde pro,..). Je suis encore impressionnée de ce que j’ai appris en 9 semaines, et j’espère que cela dure.
Ma Reco si vous vous lancez : prévoyez du temps pour le 'PrepWork', faites bien vos 'Flashcards' et pour le reste, 'Trust the process' ! -

Le Wagon Review

While I was studying my fourth year of the Computer Science and Business Administration Bachelor, I decided that I needed a more practical approach to the technologies that are used in the Data Science industry. I started searching for different Coding Bootcamps, and Le wagon was the one that stood out more for me. First of all, it was the only one that was offering the Data Science intense course in English, and secondly, it was rated the best one in Europe.
So I decided to join and it was hands-down one of the best decisions I have ever made, the mix between practical knowledge and implementation made the bootcamp super fun and an enriching experience. All of this mixed with the buddy system and a great, friendly atmosphere created the perfect fast-paced learning environment.
The last two weeks of building our own project were super fun but one of the most intense of my life, thank you to everyone who I shared this experience with!
The best is yet to come! -

Life-Changing Experience
The Le Wagon Bootcamp was a life-changing experience for me. I tried development before, online and free but it is always hard to find the right path to follow. Le Wagon brings a very structured course where you are going to learn enough to get you going in your career. I'm happy I did and I would recommend it to any of my friends and family. -

Le Wagon Rio de Janeiro
Amazing material and an even better team. You can feel the polishing effect and professionalism of a bootcamp with over 1000 batches of experience. Me and my colleagues were taught the whole range of tools necessary for understanding and applying Machine Learning models to real-world situations, starting with an intense 2 weeks introduction to the Python and Mathematics tools for the job. -

A watershed moment in my career
Read more Read less of André Marinho's review
I've known Le Wagon for 5 years before enrolling in my first course (data).
My friends that participated in the web development always told me how amazing their methodology and the whole community was. And although it arouse some curiosity in me, I had no idea how life changing it could be.
I'm super interested in how programming and analytics can offer us possibilities to exercise our creativity and handle uncertainties in order to make more sense of the world we live in.
My domain of work is consumer behavior, and in the last years, as I was getting more acquainted to this theme 'data science', I felt that diving deeper into this field would allow me to extract much more value from my work.
So I started to study on my own, I led some data science projects in my former company, but since I didn't properly have a tech background (and neither people I would work directly with), I would always feel that there was something missing. As if I was working on separate pieces, but not really connecting all of the dots.
That's when Le Wagon comes into play.
I wanted to level up my game, to put some structure on things, to feel that I had a kind of blueprint to address business problems, and - perhaps the most important - to feel that I was part of a supportive community (I mean, we are talking about a super dynamic field in which the only constant is the change, so having this active community helps a lot to keep up to date).
Right before making the decision to leave my job and enroll in the full-time bootcamp, I felt a little insecure. I guess my past experiences led me to be somehow skeptical about the potential of learning institutions.
But I can affirm today that making this decision was a watershed moment, and that Le Wagon exceeded all of the expectations I could have.
The methodology is indeed fantastic, the local community incredibly friendly and supportive, so although you spend months of suffering, you are also having lots of fun. Not to mention the broader community, which is super active and engaged.
I feel that I've accomplished all of my goals and a lot of bonuses came together.
So if you're interested in programming, data science, technology in general, and you're considering to participate in a bootcamp, don't take as long as I did. I can assure you won't regret. -

It was amazing!

I did Le Wagon in Rio de Janeiro. I was batch #609 (it seems so long ago).
I absolutely loved it!
So far, it was the most rewarding educational experience I've had so far.
Those were very intensive 9 weeks filled with coding, joy, friendship and stress. Yes, stress, because it's not easy to learn how to code. But the teachers were always there for us when we had doubts.
I was a little bit skeptical about what was going to be the outcome. And now I see that after 9 weeks of very intensive studying I had all the tools I needed to look for a junior developer position.
I honestly think that if you come prepared for the bootcamp and you dedicate yourself to really study during those 9 weeks, you will be fit to find a job anywhere.
Thanks Le Wagon! -

From 0 to Hero

After completing my MSc in Marine Biology, I knew I should have worked with data - and a lot. I came to Le Wagon Brussels with this goal clear in mind, expecting to learn the basics of coding. But the experience proved itself to be much more. Having little to no background in Python, I was challenged from day one. To code, of course, but also to shift my way of thinking. Le Wagon ultimately (re)taught me how to learn, dramatically improving my problem-solving skills. The curriculum was well-structured, with a right increment in the difficulty of the arguments. Topics like communication, teamwork and project management weren't left out, giving a complete and life-like overview of Data Science. The additional workshops organised by Le Wagon also helped us to keep updated with the latest developments in the field. Throughout the bootcamp, the entire staff provided us with the support we needed, from week 0 to career week, both in person and with extensive resources. I would definitively recommend the bootcamp :) -
Luca Visaggio
An amazing programing journey
Read more Read less of Luca Visaggio's review
Before Le Wagon I tried also a cheap online corse and a free course in italy. But honestly both of them weren't that good. Before quiting my dream to change career and start working in the web dev fild I decided to try one last time.
So I did my research, I started read reviews (also here) watch YouTube videos, look on reddit and make phone call to different Bootcamps, asking them their syllabus and other corse and post course related questions.
I'm the kind of person that before spending a good amount of money on something need to be 100% sure it is worth it.
And that how I arrived at Le Wagon.
Before starting I was a little afraid, since I needed to do the course wile working (I did the part-time) + the course was online + I had a 2 months old baby at that time.
And to be honest, I was right to be afraid.
The course is challenging and you need to work on it, because learning something like coding is not a walk in the park.
But how they structured the course, how they implemented the buddy system plus the Teachers and TA, made my coding journey great.
ABOUT THE COURSE
The course start with ruby and at beginning,, I know that ruby is not the most famous language out there. But I still thought that Le Wagon was a good choice.
At the beginning I hated ruby, but now I have fell in love with it.
It's easier to understand basic and complex concepts compared to other languages, but at the same time when you start learning new languages you find that they are not that complex anymore. Because you have already mastered the basics.
A huge plus is that ruby on rails is fantastic!
ABOUT THE BUDDY SYSTEM
At the beginning of the course I was a little doubtful about this system for two reasons: one the course was online and two my English was not the best.
But it's was actually really good.
Thanks to the buddy system and the friendly Teachers after 2 weeks from the start of the course I already had the chance to meet and know better half of my classmates.
It's nice to share some thoughts and opinions and find that everyone is coming from different places, different backgrounds but same love for coding.
Even though the course is finished I'm already working on a new project with five of my classmates.
That pretty much tells you how much you are able to bound during the course.
And also this system helps you learn how to work in a team has a web dev, especially in the two main projects at the end of the course.
ABOUT THE TEACHERS AND TA
The teacher where simple great.
Obviously they are really good at coding.
But they where actually also really good at teaching.
The course work with a ticket system, basically when you have a problem you can open a ticket and discuss with the teacher or the TA about the problem in is private zoom room.
They try to help you in every possible way and explain you the possible solution as many time as you want.
But the most important thing is that they were always nice and friendly. Never once I felt like they were annoyed, even when there were a lot of tickets or bugs to solve.
That my experience at Le Wagon. I know that it can be difficult to make a choice and even more to stay motivated while learning something complex like programming, but whith a good environment and enough enough motivation it's possible.
My only advice is don't be afraid and start this journey.
And always keep in mind:
"Programming is a marathon, not a sprint." -

Le Wagon Web Developmet Bootcamp - You won't regret it!
Read more Read less of Filipe Bernardo's review
Before joining Le Wagon I was working in the hospitality sector and feeling very comfortable even though working in hospitality was never my dream, I would find myself looking at opportunities to get myself into the tech world, after doing intensive research and asking people on the field, Le Wagon was a constant in the conversations, posts, recommendations, etc. So it was a no-brainer to have picked Le Wagon, leaving my career behind and putting all my trust in the professionals working there whom I appreciate so much!
The whole process of learning makes all the sense, and even though it looks like its impossible to be ready to work after 9 or 10 weeks of studying, it's just incredible how Le Wagon changes this mindset and starts to put things in place to a point of you starting to think: “I can do this!”
I couldn’t be happier, and my only regret is not having done this boot camp earlier in my life!
