Great school & experience

When I started the Wagon my idea was to quickly check if development was for me. It has been much more than that. The Team, the lessons, the tools I learnt to use have been really helpful. I seriously followed every steps and at the end of the process I really had the skills to create my own projects and company which I did. I choose the Wagon because in the benchmarking I made I identified it was the best approach for me and the best program globally. I was looking to learn in a real life environment and with a real project approach. At the same time it was lots of fun with the other alumni and the Wagon team. With hard work, by following the steps, after the Wagon you will have everything you need to become a good developper. You just need to continue to program every day after ;) -

Hello everyone, I’ve taken two courses from Le Wagon Paris recently, first one for Web dev focusing on RoR (Ruby) and another for data science focusing on Python, AI packages (ML, DL) and GCP (cloud). As a tech lead in my company, I was still amazed by the number of new stuffs I’ve learned in each of the two bootcamps. Le Wagon’s staff/teachers are so skilled, they managed to find accurate solutions each time you feel stuck, so you are always supported. The pace of the bootcamps is intense, but the courses are well designed and the daily challenges let you catch quickly the main concepts. The final project is my preferred part, you showcase what you’ve learned in a thrilling project where you work with a team. I’ve chosen Le Wagon because it’s already worldwide renowned, I can say now that I’ve made the good choice. Who’s next ? :) -

Amazing experience, best choice I’have made
I was just graduating from business school and felt like I did not have found what really fulfilled me there. I had some great feedbacks from friends that did le wagon before me so I decided to give it a go. That was the greatest teaching experience I have encountered with great people, great staff and the coolest vibe. Definitely recommend it 👌☀️🏄♂️ -

Full Stack dev
Le Wagon (Paris full-stack training) was an incredible experience, both educationally and humanely.
Not coming from tech (or maths) at all, I was able to learn and understand the IT development process, as well as bring my entrepreneurial project to life in a benevolent, fun environment, and with a very effective pedagogy. I therefore highly recommend this training were I learned a lot! -

After almost 6 years of experience in banking, I decided to change my life and enrolled in Le Wagon's Data Science bootcamp in Madrid. Now, after finishing it, I can say it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I followed a dream I had for a while and not only gained knowledge but also friends. I can say that the bootcamp is hard, as expected, since we learn new subjects every day, but the school supports us on the way and makes us have strength to continue. They always say, trust the process, and it's true. Every day we consolidate what we have learnt in previous days, which makes us improve in subjects that we may have initially had difficulties with. It takes dedication but it is definitely worth it. -

This September (2022), I completed the 10-week Web Development bootcamp at Le Wagon, and it has been one of the best decisions I have made in my career. I was trying to get started in the tech world, but it was really difficult and chaotic to do it by myself. Finally I found Le Wagon, with all the benefits they offer, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. The teaching process they use is 100% accurate and efficient, but also they prepare Career Week to help you find a job!
I attended the course in Madrid, and the team there is formed by awesome people who help you in every single step of the process - the human value is remarkable and that makes a huge difference in the learning experience.
Now I am really grateful to Le Wagon, not just for helping me achieve my career goals, but most of all for the unique and awesome way they do it. -

I joined the 9-week intensive web development bootcamp in Paris in April 2022 and I found both the training content and format awesome! The training is very demanding but it challenges you in the right way. Teachers and teacher assistants are very careful, they make you feel confident and progress. The scope of skills is wide from back to front, design and project. It is also a great human adventure as you meet very diverse people and work with them. -

Feeling so grateful to experience the Data Science Bootcamp with Le Wagon. High learning curve, well-structured and organized on every aspect. The curriculum covers all you should expect as a future Data Scientist and provides with many hours of hands-on coding on interesting and relevant to real data challenges. Always assisted by experienced Teacher Assistants that in their majority have also been through Le Wagon's bootcamp. It is structured to simulate real world working challenges, fully adapted to Berlin start-up scene, provides a lot of confidence after being through it. Especially, the last two weeks of the Bootcamp are dedicated to a guided project, where we had to come up with a topic and put into play most of the knowledge we gained during the lectures. I met smart, positive, helpful and creative people that were prompt to assist throughout the journey. We had fun while learning, and it was overall an experience I wish I can have again at some point in the future. I am a proud Le Wagon alumni, and can suggest the program to whoever wants to take a life changing next step. -

I decided to join the bootcamp offered by Le Wagon because I wanted to learn more about coding and get the technical skills I believe everyone should have.
I couldn't be more happy with my experience with this bootcamp, I learned a lot but also really quickly without feeling overwhelmed with information.
I would recommend Le Wagon to anyone who is interested in the tech world either for the technical skills you'll get but also for the soft skill you'll aquire during those 9 weeks. -

Great program + great community
Read more Read less of Ana G's review
This Bootcamp is great in so many ways. One of the things I loved the most is that you don't just learn how to code in a specific programming language, you also (and maybe most importantly) learn the thinking process behind good coding.
The day-to-day is intense and challenging, and if you keep focused, each day will end up being very much rewarding.
Another big aspect for me is the community: from the supportive staff of teachers to the alumni all over the world, Le Wagon's international community is an amazing network.
There are many Bootcamps and online courses to pick from, I'm super glad I chose this one. -
Natalia
Web Development for everybody
I really enjoy all the time in Le Wagon. The whole staff was at the whole time extremely friendly, and I felt very accompanied during the whole process. I can now understand and code web applications, even thought I have never done anything related to coding before. -

A unique opportunity to change your career (and life)

I decided to join Le Wagon for multiple reasons. Having had a business education, I wanted to acquire more technical skills, which are in high demand in today's job market. Secondly, I wanted to learn how to build digital products and transform my own ideas into real projects. Finally, I wanted to increase my chances of getting a job that allows me to work remotely, which is quite common in the tech world compared to other fields.
For these reasons, I decided to apply to Le Wagon's Web Development coding bootcamp. Overall, I can say that the whole experience has been amazing. The learning path is very clear and structured. You will find yourself having a 1.30hr lecture every morning and doing the coding challenges for the rest of the day until 6pm. The learning curve is very steep and you can expect to feel overwhelmed at some points. However, the teaching staff is always available to support you throughout the process. You will start by learning the foundations of coding in Ruby, all the way up to making your own web application. You will be amazed when you look back and realize what you accomplished in 9 weeks!
I would advise you to attend the bootcamp in person rather than online, if you can. This will allow you to get to know a group of like-minded people, with different backgrounds, that will become your friends during the journey. That's very valuable for 2 main reasons: first, you'll help each other and keep the motivation/energy high during the bootcamp (the study program is quite demanding), and secondly, you'll have great friends to party and travel with (super valuable if you're in places like Bali).
One question I asked myself when choosing a coding bootcamp was the following: is 9 weeks enough time to learn coding, or should I choose a longer program (4-6 months)? Based on my experience, I would say that this is a perfect time span. You definitely learn enough to land your first job, even though it is important to keep practicing and learning after the bootcamp. Furthermore, it would be very hard to maintain this workload for a longer time period than 6 months.
Overall, I would strongly recommend this experience to anyone who is seeking a career change, new challenges, or a great learning opportunity. It will turn out to be one of your best decisions! -

Amazing!!
I loved every single day here, the teachers are amazing, supportive and super skilled and the atmosphere in the batch couldn't be better. I didn't expect to learn that much in only 9 weeks; the challenges are intense but super fun, loved it:) -

Before I joined Le Wagon, I worked as Customer Service in Qatar Airways.
I quit the job because I decided to switch my career.
I found the new opportunity to become a Web Developer and I decided to join Le Wagon to learn how to become Web Developer.
I joined in July 2022 and finished September 2022.
First few weeks felt so intense, but with the help of the teachers, I could solve the problems whenever I did the daily
challenges until it came to the project weeks (which is our last week in the bootcamp), the teachers are really helpful and they helped us (the students) a lot to do the projects.
After I completed 9 weeks of the bootcamp, I am confident enough to jump into a tech world.
Thanks a lot Le Wagon! -

A great way to learn data science

In my previous roles, I often wondered how available data could be better utilised to support decision-making, and wished that I had the skills to do so. I'm glad I made the decision to enrol in Le Wagon's full-time data science bootcamp in Amsterdam. It was a great experience overall, from having really motivated classmates with diverse backgrounds, to learning key skills in data science in an interesting way that felt easily applicable. There was also always good support from teachers and teaching assistants throughout the bootcamp. I had almost no coding experience before the bootcamp, and am super proud to have been able to put into production a machine learning model built from scratch as part of the final group project! -

After getting acquainted with the Data Science world at my last job, I decided to not renew my contract to have enough time to learn new Data Science skills. After enrolling in Le Wagon and doing the 9-week intense Data Science course, it was clear that I had no regrets about this decision! Together with my fellow boot campers, we dove and learned Python specific to Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Data Engineering. Also, we have gotten familiar with handling data using SQL queries & even got some introduction to simple front-end programming using Selenium/Heroku. I am confident Le Wagon's course has given us the necessary tools to start our Data Science journey! -

Data Science Bootcamp

I joined the Full time Data Science Bootcamp in Bali from April to June 2022 to learn how to code and analyse data before joining a Master in Data Science starting in Septembre. I can only honestly say it was the best decision that could be made : the Le Wagon process makes complicated concepts much simpler to learn, understand and use. The classes and concepts are taught in a very clear and spot on way - we then apply these concepts in "coding challenges" everyday to learn by doing. The 9 weeks are organised in such a way that you are constantly challenged with new learning material (and there are options to go even deeper in the coding if you want) while never feeling overwhelmed and lost. I felt the teachers had the perfect balance between : 1) doing your own research to find the solutions you're looking for, 2) helping you out/ giving you tips to find those solutions.
Today, after only one week of my Master in Data Science, I am so grateful for everything the Le Wagon curriculum taught me and I go back daily to all the learning material we still have access to.
As a bonus : living in Bali for 3 months was a dream and I am still in contact with the students I met during the bootcamp- despite us all living in different parts of the world. -

'Montreal’s Le Wagon bootcamp is an amazing experience. Everyone is welcoming, it feels like we're one big family. The team is amazing, teachers and ta’s are helpful and patient in explaining programming concepts. Seeing yourself progress throughout the bootcamp is rewarding, and the final project weeks are intense but I learned so much. At the end you have a final web application to share with the world or add to your portfolio that you built with your team. These concrete skills are essential to finding a job in the tech industry. Thank you Le Wagon.' -

Very Good!

For the last 5 years I worked as a chef in a pizzeria and worked in restoration for 20 years. I was tired of working nights and weekends so I was looking to change my career path and find a job with 'regular hours’.
Some of my friends are developers and after speaking with them, I realized that being a developer was what I wanted to do :)
As soon as I decided to make the change, I looked for a way to make it a reality. After some research, I chose to join a bootcamp instead of doing a traditional degree. Le wagon had very good reviews and a friend of friend of mine hired someone who graduated from le wagon and was very happy with his work.
I decided to join and it was an amazing experience. It was very challenging, both personally and technically but also very rewarding. I learned a lot of technical skills and programming languages, and I am still doing challenges almost 9 month after I did the bootcamp with the resources Le Wagon gave me. Finally, I learnt how to work in a team and to be efficient together.
During the last 2 weeks, the “projects weeks”, we were ready to start working like real devs, from an original idea, to develop it, code it and present it. I presented it to the community and learned how to speak in public, which was not my strong suit. I’ve learnt so much from my experience at Le Wagon and am happy to continue giving back to the community. -

An intense journey
This 9 week bootcamp is an intensive journey, but your not alone, the team guide you with care and help you to appropriate the concept you learn during the bootcamp. Team working is valuate and it's a plus for your future carrer, the learning process is regulary actualised always accessible and center on challenging yourself. -

Life-changing experience!

Le Wagon Tokyo gave me the opportunity to revive my career after 8 years being stuck teaching English in Japan. The full-time course feels like going back to university for a short semester, including meeting the other students who are learning alongside you. Not only do you get a fleshed-out training program that will prepare you to be a real developer, but by the last week the school is connecting you to a network of companies you can apply to and alumni who can give you a hand with job hunting.
On the first day, they help you set up a development environment on your computer. After that, each day you are randomly assigned a another student partner and together you work on coding challenges to complete by the end of the day. They start in Ruby, then introduce SQL so you understand the database, then Rails to begin real web projects. They also teach JavaScript to round out your skillset and show you that all programming languages share commonalities. You also use Heroku to learn a very simple introduction to DevOps if you wish to follow that path.
What I liked a lot was that the Le Wagon teachers will not only teach you the answer to problems you face while developing, but how to search for the answers to similar questions without their help. I found myself able to solve my own issues and troubleshoot after generalizing from advice the teachers gave me. Doug Berkley and Yann Klein were so patient with my sometimes slow progress and gave useful guidance while my team and I built 2 full-fledged web applications. Even if you don't end up using Ruby on Rails, you still learn to generalize the same concepts no matter what tech stack you end up using.
The head of the school, Sylvain Pierre also spent a lot of time on the non-coding side of working in the IT industry. His lectures about giving a pitch for a project, using wireframes and Figma to design an application, how to write a web developer resume were crucial for my job hunting after the bootcamp. The final project pitch night actually turned into real practice for my job interview at the company I ended up joining. I'm proud to say that I'm now a Ruby on Rails backend developer at a fintech startup in Tokyo. Without the training, education, connections, and motivation I got at Le Wagon Tokyo it would not have been possible. Thanks for the unforgettable experience! -

Change your life with Le Wagon
The entire bootcamp, from the first days discovering what coding is to the last day, presenting the MVP of a project we worked on for two weeks, this bootcamp was a real revelation for me.
In only 9 weeks, I was able to discover, learn and apprehend the world of coding (which seems too good to be true in only 9 weeks)!

Montreal Le Wagon offers a five-star Data Science Bootcamp (out of 5). If you are not an experienced programmer, early in the Bootcamp, you will develop the coding skills and logic needed to design and implement algorithms to carry out the automation of any task.
Once you have acquired codding experience or if you are an experienced programmer in other languages rather than python, during the Bootcamp, you will learn and use the best coding practices to put into production any machine learning model using the latest cloud technologies in Python.
Regardless of your coding experience, you will learn the technologies associated with all machine learning stages, from data extraction to monitoring model performance in real-time to improve it. Obviously, in a few weeks, you will not be able to cover all technologies used in the industry, but the Le Wagon Bootcamp will give you a solid base to be a self-learner so that you can specialize yourself in the area you like the most.
At the end of the program, you will face the real-life experience of designing and implementing a minimum viable product in two weeks, as if you were working in a start-up. You will build on top of what you used in the Bootcamp, but also will have to research and learn new technologies to accomplish your goal. The latter is a skill highly desired in any company. It is important to highlight that the Bootcamp is designed in such a way that you are never left alone at any stage, and you are guided by highly trained teachers who enjoy teaching and sharing their knowledge. -

Doing Le Wagon was amazing ! I'm a graphic designer and had no clues in coding before doing the bootcamp. The cursus is really well done, and the overall experience was so intense and stimulating. We were learning new stuff every single day, the challenges were super nice to do and the teaching crew was amazing ! A unique experience that launched my carrier as full-stack developer. I'll never regret it 😄 Thanks Le Wagon ! -

Data scientist formation
It was a rich a strong experience to follow Le Wagon's data science formation. The team was constantly around us to supervise, support and help us advance or to change our minds with some beers and activities out of the bootcamp. TLDR ; it was tough, short, intense but totally worth it ! -

The structure I needed...
Read more Read less of Meghan's review
I had worked as an accountant for 14 years. I felt completely overwhelmed and didn’t feel motivated to gain mastery, or empowered to be innovative in finding solutions for my company/department. I knew I liked working with technology and wanted a more creative outlet. In my research for potential new career paths/skillsets, I saw web development was in high demand and could possibly be a good fit for my next move. After I broke through the burnout and decided to quit my job, I knew I wanted to travel to Europe for a while to reconnect with the world and myself. Why not attend a web development bootcamp to re-skill at the same time?
It was an intense 9-10 weeks of learning, but it was such a joy to feel like I was learning something new and gratifying to see what I was able to create with just my beginner level of understanding. The structure of the course also helped me to stay focused and effectively move through the coursework that I knew I would struggle with on my own. The instructors and staff are very supportive and you really feel like you are “all in it together” to get to the finish line. Post-bootcamp I have continued to receive support and encouragement from the Brussels team and classmates, and have also found the worldwide alumni to be accessible and helpful when I have reached out for help with coding questions.
I would recommend Le Wagon if you are looking to pivot to web development, gain a base-level understanding of how it can impact your business or business ideas, and join a growing alumni community of motivated and supportive individuals. -

J'ai pu faire les 2 formations proposées par le Wagon (Data Science et Web Developement) et je suis extrêmement satisfait : la qualité du programme, l'expertise des enseignants, la bienveillance de toute l'équipe pédagogique...
La progression en 9 semaines dans chacune des deux formations est inimaginable initialement : on progresse tous les jours et les projets de fin de bootcamp permettent de remettre en ordre toutes les connaissances acquises pendant le bootcamp. Le tout dans une très bonne ambiance ! -

I am a business student at King's College, but I always wanted to learn how to code. Le Wagon was the perfect way to learn. The environment is the best I could hope for: the teachers are amazingly attentive, supportive and friendly. The rhythm is intense but you will learn so much so fast that you'll feel really proud when it's over ! As a girl, I felt empowered and included in this tech-environment, would recommend 1000% to everybody !! -

best learning experience I've ever had!
Le Wagon completely changed my life through education. I was able to change careers right after I finished the bootcamp. Not only the curriculum, the teachers and teachers assistant are great but also the whole atmosphere of collaboration over competition that LW brings were a key part of my learning experience. -

Amazing bootcamp. I started with 0 knowledge and ended up with 2 job offers. In the last week of the bootcamp, I was hired to be a full stack developer for a Fintech. Before doing the bootcamp, I was working as a graphic designer, and as a side project, I worked in hospitality, I used to own a restaurant that close in the pandemic. After my restaurant close, I was sure about two things, first that I wanted to pursue a career that was complementary with my design skills. And last but not least, it has to be something that I can do whatever I want. I wanted to be a digital nomad. -

Before Le Wagon, during my time as a business student, I was curious to learn how businesses use technology to their advantage. It soon grew on me that the use of technology is a vital part of a successful business. I had decided to learn to code on my own but I soon realized I needed something more structured. That’s when I found Le Wagon, a place to learn all of the coding basics, how to solve challenges alongside others and more importantly how to think like a developer.
At Le Wagon, the program is extremely well-structured to maximize learning. This is done by watching lectures before class and doing challenges which reinforce what was taught in those lectures during class. If ever we got stuck trying to solve a problem there was always a teacher to help.
My primary goal at Le Wagon was to learn the fundamentals of coding as a web developer. In the end I’m glad to say my goal was achieved and furthermore I have met new friends who motivate me to excel in this career path. Ultimately, I recommend Le Wagon for anyone looking to get familiar with coding. -

With this bootcamp you'll learn everything that is needed to develop websites and web services from the ground up, besides meeting new people who might follow your interests.
This course is a perfect fit for tech geeks who are curious about web development, whereas for people who are seeking for a career change need to be prepared for this intense course by being fast learners and quick thinkers.
After learning the technicals the students will be divided into groups and have their knowledge and skills by developing projects together.
Here you might meet a few challenges with your team members, but at least their skilled teachers are more than willing to help.

Before I decided to apply to a bootcamp I was working in another kind of industry but I always felt that something was missing. Le Wagon changed this, it gave me a big picture understanding of the tech world and the enough confidence to look for a position that fits me well, now I'm a RoR Back End Developer and one advantage of this is that I don't need to go to an office anymore. It's just perfect!
