Intense learning experience within a nice community. Great Value
Attending Le Wagon Data Science bootcamp has been a great experience, in terms of knowledge and support. The learning method is based on doing, with an intense peace, made possible by a great support from teachers and assistants. Le Wagon also provide a long-term access to their worldwide community, to keep sharing information and ideas. -

A lifechanging experience
I graduated from Le Wagon having made new friends and learned more than I could have imagined. You start by learning simple principles and solving simple problems and from there you gradually build up until before you know it you are building web applications. -

Best Way to learn and keep link after bootcamp
LeWagon has been totally beneficial to me.
I wanted to understand and learn the technologies of site creation in fullstask mode to prepare the realization of an app. There are sometimes very high-level teachers, and there are many of them.
Objective totally achieved and all with a great team, a large and rich network to support each other after the bootcamp. -

I came to Le Wagon to change careers , and that i did.
I decided to take the part-time format to have more time to learn and internalize all the information (which was a lot). Not a single regret, started working on a startup recently and have no intentions of going back to my previous career.
The teachers all make then-self's at everyone disposal at nearly all-time and will make everything in their power to make sure you understood the lesson.
And a last reminder:
Those are classes, there is no score, no bonus for good students, no demerit, no failing and redoing latter. You need to commit and dedicate yourself properly.
pros:
You will learn to program.
Fun and dynamic lessons;
emphasis on team work, giving you an edge afterwards;
great methodology and teachers;
cons:
Can seem overwhelming, but trust your teachers and colleagues.
You will lose your Saturdays to coding school. but will have a lot more time to learn (compared to full-time)
Dependent on willingness of the students. You need a bit of luck so the other students are 100% in the process as well as you to make the most of it. -

Choosing to do the Le Wagon Bootcamp was one of the best choices in my life and in fact the best in my professional life.
I learned to code from scratch and improved both a lot of hard skills and soft skills as well.
I loved the whole process. The attention and care of the management/staff team, the wonderful teachers, and T.A's, the study methodology, challenges and projects, and the smooth and chilling learning environment.
I'm forever grateful for the positive impact of Le Wagon on my professional and personal life. -

Best investment I could have ever made at this moment of my life. The material alone offered is better than most online courses, and I'm talking about ONLY the material found in the slides. The methodology of lecture and pair programming makes all the difference for the learning process, since coding is mostly about practice.
But what really makes Le Wagon special is all the people involved, from staff to ex-alumni Le Wagon is not only a bootcamp but a community of people, and that's what it's all about, people helping people. -

A transformative experience
Read more Read less of GUILLERMO IZQUIERDO MERIGO's review
While studying philosophy, I became interested in the explanatory potential that data science might have in the social sciences. After I graduated, I started toying with the idea of becoming a data scientist, but it seemed like I had nothing of the background knowledge required to get my career started. That is why attending the Le Wagon Data Science bootcamp in Madrid has been such a transformative experience. I have mastered skills that just a bit over two months ago seemed completely out of reach, in great part thanks to the support and encouragement of an outstanding staff. Moreover, I have also become part of an active, friendly community that has continued to support me as I begin my new journey in data science. That is why I am thrilled to join my friends at Le Wagon once again, this time as a Teacher Assistant. -

I had an amazing experience studing in Le Wagon Rio, without a doubt one if not the most challeing of my entire professional carrier. At the same time that you learn you have so much fun and as the weeks go by and everything starts to make sense it's so fullfiling. The teachers are absolutelly fantastic and are always there to help you even when the course is over. I had a great experience at Le Wagon and i know that 90% is beacause of the staff. -

I graduated from Le Wagon Web Development Bootcamp in September 2022. I decided to apply as I worked with developers at my old job and became more interested in what they were doing. Looking back I am very happy at my decision to enroll. You cover a lot of information during the course, but thanks to the ever helpful teachers and TA’s you never feel at a complete loss. After completing the bootcamp you always have access to the resources and are part of a huge alumni network. If you are weighing up whether it is a good idea to sign up just do it! It may seem scary, but Le Wagon help you make a seamless transition into the tech world. -

Rewarding learning experience
Read more Read less of Blake McKenzie's review
Before starting Le Wagon, I was an English graduate and training as an acting student. I eventually felt the need for a career change. I had a growing interest in web development and had tried out a beginner python course and became increasingly curious to learn more and develop this skill. Upon researching the best places to start my journey into web development, I found Le Wagon. I had an amazing experience. I was introduced into a fantastic community of teachers and fellow students, where everyone was passionate about learning more and upskilling. Every day was equal parts challenging and rewarding, and the concepts we had learned each day were constantly put into practice. I particularly enjoyed the product-oriented approach at Le Wagon. Towards the end of the course, we began to work in development teams building our own web applications. I was really shown what is possible under the span of 9 weeks when you are committed to learning and practicing that knowledge; and equally importantly when you are within a supportive, friendly, ambitious community of people that are committed to becoming better developers. This was what I was fortunate enough to experience during my time at Le Wagon.

I choose Le Wagon Web Development to technically prepare myself for the next step of my career in tech, but I found more than that.
The whole experience was incredible, stimulating, streamlined, fun, well organized and empowering for my professional future, where you learn by doing and working in teams to achieve projects. The course is very well structured and the teachers are very supportive and friendly.
A truly worthy investment that I would recommend to anyone in search for a career change path or a purposeful learning experience. -

Top-class learning and coding experience.
Before joining the Le Wagon Web Development bootcamp, I was working in the marketing industry with a bit coding experience. I decided to join Le Wagon because I wanted to change my career in the tech industry and acquire practical technical skills. The course is comprehensive and of great quality with many learning resources (e.g. lecture slides, challenges, and flashcards ...). The teachers and tas are passionate and their support is beyond my expectation.
Learnt a lot, met great people, and enjoyed a great atmosphere. I highly recommend Le Wagon and thank you all for providing such a life-changing experience! -

Rewarding and challenging bootcamp

I was a student in the data science batch 900 in London. Firstly the quality of the teaching by the lecturers and the TAs was exceptional. One of the most notable aspects of the bootcamp is that you’re immersed in an environment where everyone really wants to further their learning, which is very motivating. I did not have a very technical background so I did find the camp challenging, but I have since managed to secure a position on a data engineering programme, which is very exciting. -

Rewarding, Friendship, Intense
You must prepare yourself well before you start the course, both with the time you need and with the material you have available for preparation. The beginning is challenging, and will get you used to thinking like a programmer, and performing tasks like a developer. It is rewarding to understand that you are capable of making code. And trust the method, it works! -

I graduated by Le Wagon's Web Development Bootcamp. and it was a wonderful experience. The training is very intense, we have daily classes and exercises, so we learned a lot during the course. After graduation, the school gives us a lot of support and we receive guidance on how to build our resume, our linkedin and how to do an interview. I recommend Le Wagon to everyone, it is the best school for anyone who wants to become a complete developer. -

The Le Wagon Web Development Bootcamp was definetely one of the greatest experiences of my life. It is incredible how much I've learned in such a short time. The metodology really works, all the teachers are great, it was a pleasure to have classes and learn with them. All the staff in general are amazing and really really helpful. Now I am confident and excited to keep developing my programming skills. -

Le Wagon provides an amazing access to learning strong knowledge about coding, best practice and workflows. The teaching process is very intense and effective. I particularly enjoyed the collaborative way of working for developers, the very friendly, benevolent and dynamic atmosphere, the great talks from Tech founders, the testimonies from alumni students who shared their experience and the career week organized at the end of the program to give us confidence in starting a career in web development. The network of alumni and shared resources is precious. Overall it was a very enriching and exciting experience with lots of great teachers. I encourage anyone wanting to learn how to code to apply to Le Wagon. -

Le Wagon has been an amazing experience for me. Yes, it was intense and I did struggle at times, but the amount of knowledge you squeeze out from the boot-camp is insane. The system they have in place is well structured and polished. The highlight for me was clearly the project week, during this week you get to piece together everything you have learned throughout the boot camp. Also the amount of help and support you get from the teachers is impressive. Highly skilled teachers with a solid technical know-how, constantly helping you in any possible way they can. I highly recommend the boot-camp, I really do. -
Vadim Constantin
Amazing professional and human experience
I went to Le Wagon in Paris from October 2021 to December 2021. I had no experience in coding at all and after 2 months, I knew how to code a website, how the web worked and all the basics you need to apply for a junior web developer job ! I also need to mention that I met great people there and the teachers were really kind and caring.
I highly recommend this bootcamp ! -
Alexandru Tintaru
Amazing Bootcamp, great community
It was an amazing experience. I started the Bootcamp with very little to no coding experience, but here I found very helpful teachers, teacher assistants, and colleagues. The curriculum is so well structured, intense but manageable.
Le Wagon Bootcamp is the best decision someone can make if you're looking for a career change. -

I really enjoyed my experience at Le Wagon and I would highly recommend the data science bootcamp! The curriculum and the topics covered are highly relevant and very well put together. It really prepares you for working in the data / tech field. The teachers were super helpful, patient and knowledgeable. I really liked the mix of the theory and the hands-on sessions, as well as Le Wagon's learning platform. The community is also great - being surrounded by motivated, smart people who are there with the same reason really felt encouraging during the intensive 6 months! I'm super happy I made the decision to join Le Wagon, it was definitely worth it :) -

Amazing, Informative, Life-changing

My experience at Le Wagon was nothing short of perfect. The curriculum is really well done and thought out as you learn step by step, and by the end of the bootcamp you are a fully fledged Front-End developer. I learned the skills to make me a good programmer and how to take a product from a concept to production in a short period of time. The structure of the day really helps you learn as in the morning you do a lecture then the rest of the day there are exercises based on what you learned in the morning and throughout the bootcamp. It's unbelievable what you can learn in just 9 weeks.
The teachers, TA's and other alumni really help you along this journey and they are what makes this bootcamp both fun and super informative. It's intense but at the end I wished I could just start over again. I highly recommend this bootcamp to anyone who is considering to change their life and career. -

These 9 weeks have really changed my life and opened new perspectives. The Wagon program and all the teams are, I think, the best in the field of training to learn code. Thank you again! -

Learning in a supportive community
Read more Read less of Antoine's review
What I enjoyed the most at Le Wagon was the community. It’s much better than “learning at your own pace by yourself” You’re always supported by your buddy of the day and the teachers. The program is continuously enhanced to keep up with the latest library updates. Weekly events to meet and talk with fellow students or tech professionals. Despite all the doubts you might have about your skills, you’re able to dish out a data science project in 2 weeks with your team and present it at the end of the bootcamp. -

I never thought that I will be studying once again. Everything has changed since I decided to take up on the new challenge, change my career completely and to get myself into Tech. This would not have been possible without Le Wagon. It is incredible how much you can learn in 6 months (I chose the part-time program) and acquire completely new set of skills. They provide enormous amount of resources and you will always have an access to your learning platform. During your course you work in a buddy system and teachers are always there to help you. And they keep the best for the last, it is when you start working on your projects at the end of the bootcamp with your team. It is a real-life experience. -

The Le Wagon Lisbon bootcamp is an incredible experience and one that I would recommend to anyone. The structure of the course is so thought out and considered, the quality of teaching extremely high which combined with the positive atmosphere that the team has created makes it the perfect environment to learn - still can't believe how much we learnt in only a couple of months (if you are thinking of joining would definitely recommend doing as much self study as you can in the months leading up to it). Big thanks to Miguel, Pedro, Diogo, Ricardo and all the other teachers for your incredible support and patience. If you want to learn to code and are unsure of the best way to do so, go to Le Wagon. -
Daniel Polistchuck
More than a course
Le Wagon for me was an amazing experience. I was expecting just a simple course with some advices to get a new job. instead, I got a family. My classmates were awesome and the teachers were perfect! And rather than making a few friends, I got a world wide level of connections with all alumni students. Totally worth it -

Best learning experience

I chose Le Wagon because I needed a quick reconversion from my old job in law, and it is probably one of my best decisions yet. This is the best way if you need to learn all coding basics in less than 9 weeks.
It was a great experience, and teachers and teaching assistants are here for you anytime and you learn something new every day.
What surprised me the most was that, once I got my first full stack engineer job, Le Wagon already prepared me to face any step and situation that I had to face as a junior developper. -
Aimery
Professional, intensive and fun training
Thank you very much Le Wagon. Data science is not an easy subject to tackle as it is very broad. But you managed to make the course accessible to everyone. The assistants were all very professional and competent. I highly recommend Le Wagon. -
Louise Ould Haddi
Amazing Experience
Le Wagon experience is comprehensive, instructive and benevolent. The bootcamp is intensive but the program is properly structured and progress is rapidly being made in 9 weeks. The Wagon community is very active and we are well supported after the bootcamp. I recommend this experience 100%. -

I decided to join Le Wagon Data Bootcamp in September and since that day I have no regrets.
Sure it is an intensive and tiresome experience, however, it allowed me to quickly and effectively gain knowledge & skills in the Data Science, Analysis & Engineer fields. All teachers are pedagogical, sympathetic & will always make sure that you understand the situation you are facing.
The overall Le Wagon community is gold. Everyone has been and still is super helpful and the overall energy is amazing. -

Bootcamp Web Dev 9weeks
I did the Web Dev 9-weeks bootcamp on April 2022 in Le Wagon Paris. The experience was amazing, the methodology they use is perfect if you want to learn fast and also be autonomous in the future. The teachers are the best, there is always someone available to help us in case of need. Definitely the best bootcamp to learn how to code ! -
Julien Lopato
A life changong experience in hot parisian summer
Read more Read less of Julien Lopato's review
The cons is that it is hot during the summer but we had ice cream and smiles and a great care-listening from our teachers. The cons is that sometimes the beers where not fresh but sometimes the beers where really fresh. The cons is that you're going to be a student again and maybe you're not going to get on with everybody. And you know what ? It's OK. The pros is that every thing's cool. Even when it's hard. People understand you. They listen to you. One day I almost cried. The next day, I laughed all day long. Of course if you have a degree in maths or science it's better. But if you do the prep course seriously it's gonna be ok too even if you where fixing motocycles before the bootcamp. Or taking care of your great mom. PLEASE get your self involved into what data is about before doing the bootcamp and becoming a data scientist. Data is not webdev. Data is not software. So don't be shy, go for it. The more you go, the more you'll receive. It's gonna be intense don't worry. After, it's always better. As always. And remember : TRUST THE PROCESS. I trusted it and now I have to choose my new life, what a luxury !!

Change your life, learn to code

I started learning to code in the fall of 2021, and I quickly realized that I needed structure and a support network to put all the odds in my favour if I wanted to break into tech. I found everything I needed and more at the Wagon! Qualified and caring teachers, motivated students who wanted to change careers like me, and a growing community ready to give advice and help each other.
Two months after the end of the course, I found my first job as a Fullstack Developer and I'm working in a field I'm passionate about. -

9 intense weeks of fun and code
Read more Read less of Matteo's review
I attended Le Wagon full time Web Dev course over the summer of 2022. I knew nothing about coding prior to joining and after 9 intense weeks of hard work, fun, and guided study, I am now fully capable of assuming a position as junior Dev in a company.
The pace of the course was great, with a strong emphasis on a work hard play hard culture. Group projects truly helped to put us into situations that we would face in our future jobs. The teachers were always available, even after class hours, and the student selection before the bootcamp made sure that the vibe throughout the 9 weeks stayed positive and friendly.
Learned a lot, made great new friends, and was overall extremely happy to have attended the bootcamp -
Nicolas D.
Excellent and demanding school
Awesome experience : have fun and work hard with very nice buddies and teachers. Events organized and drinks were amazing, as well as the school's team (I insist on that).
The program is serious and demanding : you get what you paid for and you learn a lot.
I also believe the network is very good : I met people and had help from alumnis when needed. -

Great pedagogy

I joined Le Wagon Paris for the 9-week web dev bootcamp.
I did it after speaking with several alumni who were all very positive about their learning experience even though I feared that Ruby and Rails would be more a confidential than some full Javascript Stack. Also because I got the feeling that I was able to find more alumni occupying interesting dev positions than with some other bootcamps.
I'm 100% enthusiastic about everything I found there. Pedagogy is great as well as tech choices, learning path, tools, teachers and teacher assistants. We were available to dive into Ruby and programming concepts, discover Rails, MVC patterns and some useful gems, discover just the right amount of JavaScript, App design, Approach of UX and UI, and a week dedicated to career paths.
I'm very happy about the choice of Ruby and Rails, it is kind of confidential compared to some other languages but it is the perfect language for learning and they is some needs for Ruby developers out there! I left the bootcamp with a very clear roadmap to continue discovering web dev in parallel with job seeking. I was able to find a full remote position as a full stack engineer that exceeded my expectations, and the whole bootcamp was financed by the region.
The bootcamp is very short, but definitely offers you the most you can get from the given time, and I can only recommend it to people that would be willing to work hard, and see it as the perfect kickstarter to a new career rather than as a complete training. (Training will continue after joining a company, which is definitely achievable some time after the bootcamp).
I also recommend to try developing a bit solo before joining, just to confirm that you like it, not be too surprised, and get the most out of the bootcamp. -

Great Bootcamp for your next career!
I choose Le Wagon Web Development to technically prepare myself for the next step of my career in tech, but I found more than that. It has been an incredible human adventure where you learn by doing and working in teams to achieve projects. During these 6 months, I have met people who are friends today and who helped me find the next step in my career. -

Go for it, it's a no brainer!... As a fintech entrepreneur, I wanted to get a better grip on the code part of my journey, plus I had the hope to meet tech partners for other projects in my head. I chose Le Wagon based on good feedback I had heard and because it looked fun from the outside. During my 24-week part-time web development course, I had the opportunity to learn A LOT while at the same time keeping my fintech business running. In the end, I learned way more than I would have suspected, and now feel quite confident when it comes to building web apps or dealing with tech topics/people. I even met dev partners there to launch a new project, as the entrepreneurship spirit is quite a part of the Wagon culture. But even more than a great technical course, these few weeks at Le Wagon came with a great human experience with both students and teachers. I had such a great time there that I am now intending to come back as a teacher assistant, and probably later on as a student for the data science course. :)
