Data Science - Le Wagon Lisbon
Read more Read less of Marc Pocsay's review
An excellent course with friendly and highly motivated teachers.
The pace of the course is very fast in order to cover a wide variety of topics within the 9-week time frame. For this reason I would recommended the course for people who are at least somewhat computer savvy.
I really cannot overstate how import the support of the teachers and staff is to enable this rapid pace. Many people try to learn data science on their own, using online resources, but without proper teachers they end up stuck or progressing very slowly. Le Wagon enables you to achieve in a few weeks what without guidance would take you years. -

Full-stack bootcamp

Since I was a little kid I have always liked technology. My older brother was the one always pushing me to learn to code and I knew that I was going to study something related to that. One of my friends suggested I do a bootcamp. I found on the internet that Le Wagon is one of the best bootcamps in the world. At first, I was scared because I didn’t know if my English was good enough and if the skills I learned by myself (as part of the Prep work) were good enough. So I took the risk and I think this is the best experience I have ever had! The first day you feel out of place because almost everyone is from a different country and with a different background! But the days pass and you feel more and more at home! One of the things that Le Wagon taught me and I appreciate the most is learning to think in computer logic. And the other remarkable thing is the speed at which you learn to learn new things! This one of the most important tools Le Wagon teaches you. -

Madrid 9 week Web Developer course
Read more Read less of Marcos Lutterbach's review
Coming from an international business background, I had always been curious and fascinated by what people can achieve with programming and coding. I attempted multiple times to study on my own online, but of course life always got in the way. While living in Madrid, I finally discovered Le Wagon and decided to dive in head first into the 9 week Web Development course. The course is extremely well structured and well thought out, allowing students to progress through increasingly challenging concepts in a way that encourages real hands-on learning. Lectures on the material are always teaching industry best practices, the challenges are stimulating and allow students to put into practice what they learned, and teachers/staff are supportive and continuously strive for our success.
Additionally, the course simulates a company work environment where students are encouraged to attempt their best solution, seek out how to solve problems online, to create "tickets" in order to get help from the teachers/TAs (like you would with your Sr. Developer on your team). It's truly a rewarding experience to be able to, after only 9 weeks, to design, to code and implement, and finally to launch your web application for anyone to use. Coming out of the Le Wagon bootcamp you'll feel ready to seek out a position in tech, pursue a path of continuous learning with the attitude that you can take on and learn anything that is thrown your way.
I believe that if you want to change your life, you should learn to code with Le Wagon. -

I studied Industrial Engineering in Madrid. Once I finished, I started a Masters straight away, I liked what I was doing, but it was too theoretical, so I decided to look for something that was more practical and where I could see the result of my doings with my own eyes. I found Le Wagon and all the reviews I read were great, so I decided to try it during my summer vacations of the Masters. I have just finished the bootcamp and I can assure you that I have accomplished my goal of moving away from theory and going into practice. You have to learn everything with trial and error, but with a very well thought-out methodology behind that Le Wagon provides (Trust me, it is really fun if you like challenges). Right now, I am sure that I will be coding in my career because I love it and it is one of the most useful things I have ever learn. I can really recommend Le Wagon to everyone that wants to learn because, if it is your own choice you will not be disappointed. -

After many years in the classical music industry I decided to change my career path towards tech and coding. I did the Full-stack Web Development bootcamp (part time) and it has been probably the best decision I’ve made career wise. It is very well structured and the teachers were always very helpful. What stands out for me the most is that, a part of all the good resources and endless learning material, at Le Wagon they really want you to succeed. We had a lot of networking events, Get Me Hired events, tech talks, a Career Week where they help you prepare for the job search or freelancing after the bootcamp... etc. I really enjoyed it! Just one month after finishing my bootcamp I landed a job as a junior software engineer in a big company! -

Fullstack web development

For a long time, I was striving to learn web development tools by myself, but I did not have such a significant boost that would immediately move me up the career ladder. As the 2022 hit, I decided to undergo Le Wagon full-stack web development bootcamp in Amsterdam in purpose to put myself into an intensive 10 weeks training in which I either sink or swim. Definitely being amongst highly knowledgeable and professional teachers brought the change. I was continuously learning best web development practices and I was striving to be just as good as my teachers. As the result, I wrote my first production-level code, completed all phases of the software development lifecycle and created two full-stack projects. The beauty of the Le Wagon bootcamp is that they convey knowledge with real passion and they make sure that every student gets help. Additionally, by undertaking career week workshops, I got all set for job hunting, I felt greater confidence as my network expanded and I acquired soft skills. Le Wagon bootcamp really ignited the fire in my professional development very intensively and interestingly. It led my way to become a junior web developer in one of the big four companies. -

I completed the data science coding bootcamp in Amsterdam.That was a great experience! The bootcamp is well structured, adaptable to every people’s experiences with coding and any other technical knowledge.I almost started from scratch and learned a lot. Not only technically but also a general understanding of the process behind Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Data Analysis.The atmosphere with the fellow students, teachers and staff was really enjoyable, always helping each other throughout the days.I joined the bootcamp in order to fill in the gap between my professional journey and the tech industry. I have just been hired by one of the most promising company related to Data management. -

Data science course

I took the data science part-time course. The experience was intense but very rewarding. It was a complete experience: both theoretical and with a lot of practice, which allowed me to understand, assimilate and consolidate the concepts seen in the lecture videos watched before each session. You come out of the course with not only a data scientist's toolbox but also the fundamentals in the main fields of data science: data analysis, machine learning, deep learning and data engineering.
Beyond the training formula, I really liked the teachers and TAs, many of whom have experienced the same training, so they are very understanding, caring and supportive.
With my professional experience in the scientific field, this bootcamp allows me now to be involved in projects using health databases. I would recommend it for anyone willing to up-skill in this field in a very fast and hands-on way. -

From the first day of the bootcamp , until the day I found a job, the support I had from Le Wagon Team was amazing. Course was well structured, covered all the important topics and teachers were very helpful, patient and responsive. We had a great career coach but not only that, guidance and help from every team member of Le Wagon was just astounding. I had so much fun learning, I was sad when the bootcamp was over but I still have access to all the exercises and lecture after the bootcamp as well. What a wonderful Journey it was!! If you are thinking about coding bootcamp, Le Wagon is the place to join.

Amasing !

Hello, my name is Jérémy, I'm 31 and I have a background of almost 7 years in management consulting ! Through my journey in consulting, I have often been facing clients that were struggling to deal with their data and I wanted to gain skills on this. But the more I was thinking about tech, the more I not only wanted to be fluent but to be part of it. I decided to do a bootcamp at Le Wagon, which was highly recommended by some friends working as DataScientists as the best bootcamp in Data... and it was. From Python to machine learning and data engineering, Le Wagon got me far beyond what I thought I would learn. The skills base that I acquired allows me to keep building more skills, and really launched a whole new professional journey ! I will never thanks the team enough for their kindness and the spirit of challenge they spread during the bootcamp. -

Le Wagon boot-camp gave me a lot of satisfaction. Group work, whether during challenges or during project weeks, creates good work dynamics. The teaching team and the training organization ensure that you never get bored or lost. It should be noted that some days are really intense and busy. When looking for a job, I realized that Le Wagon is known and reputed by most recruiters. -

Enough to work with Python as a data analyst

Studying at Le Wagon data bootcamp was a very good decision for me !
I was working with a data team before in my previous position and I wanted to work directly with data. I knew it required to learn a lot of new skill, particularly coding in Python. I chose to do le Wagon because previous students told me that after the bootcamp, they felt like they knew enough to get a job in data.
I had only little coding experience before and I have done a business school. Before the bootcamp, I was able to write 10 lines program and it was a real struggle. At the end of the bootcamp, I was able to write entire programs doing many different things : data sourcing with APIs, machine learning...
I now have a job as a data analyst, and I feel that I've learnt enough at le Wagon to be comfortable in my position. I still have a lot to learn of course, but I have the basics !
Good points : good teachers backed by a very solid program (courses and exercises) that has been tested and updated many times. Teaching with students in group, in the same room, you can easily make friends and learn together. -

Le Wagon is a life changing experience and I can't recommend it enough!
It was 9 very challenging and extremelly gratificating weeks. Being a student at Le Wagon looks something like this: at the same time we are assigned increasingly complex challenges we end up calling upon each other to deal with these challenges. Two weeks in and we already feel like a family despite all the diversity in the batch (Le Wagon gathers people from different places and with different bagrounds).
It is incredible how much I've learned in such a short time. Le Wagon's metodology is amazing and all the staff is extremelly supporting. The teachers and teacher assistants are all very helpful and competent. Most of them were Le Wagon students as well, so they know exactly what students are going through.
Now I feel like I am ready to start my career as a web developer and excited to keep developing my programming skills. -

Amazing experience

At Le Wagon's 9-week Bootcamp you will learn everything you need to know to land a job as a data scientist. More importantly, you will learn how to learn, which I consider by far the best part of the bootcamp.
In addition, the campus and the people are amazing and really make you want yo go to classes everyday. The TAs offer complete support throughout the whole length of the course, even after hours.
I fully recommend the course to anyone who wants to break into the field, or even to those who just want to learn the subject to complement their skill set -

Amazing bootcamp!
The time at Le Wagon in Cologne was unique! I had no prior knowledge and was able to create a complete, functional app with my 3 team members after 9 weeks of the Web Development bootcamp. I can recommend this bootcamp to everyone!!! The atmosphere was also just great! You can only feel comfortable. -

Le Wagon review
Le Wagon is an amazing programming bootcamp. I did 2 different bootcamps + university and Le Wagon was the best experience so far.
The teachers are excellent, all the exercises and challenges are intuitive and fun to do. Le Wagon staff is supportive and helpful.
100% would recommend. -
Anyelle
Data science bootcamp
The Le Wagon bootcamp was a lifetime experience. I am an electronics engineer and I had always studied with traditional methods, applying the le wagon method taught me a lot about how to make better use of my time and focus on the right things. I recommend the bootcamp to anyone who wants to learn data science in an exciting and effective way. -

Crash course in Web Development!
Read more Read less of Cameron's review
Wow! Le Wagon is quite the experience. If you’re looking for a full crash course on everything you need to build a solid foundation in web/software development, then this is it! They really do touch on all the core principles. Syntax, Front-End, Backend, SQL, API’s, Hosting, Git, working in the terminal.. and to top it off there’s a whole week dedicated to jump starting your career at the end of the bootcamp. I even got hired by a company they put me in touch with! My only real critique is that if you come into the bootcamp without any coding experience at all, it’s going to be very challenging. The pace is extremely fast given that you only have 9 weeks! They will help you along every step of the way to be sure, but if you really want to maximize your experience here, I would recommend doing a good amount of self study before! I had a decent amount of experience self-teaching myself Android, and the bootcamp was perfect for solidifying and clarifying different concepts. Don’t expect Le Wagon to be a one-stop shop, but if you put in the hard work, and are determined in your goals, it’s the perfect place to change your life and learn to code! -

I totally recommend the 9 weeks bootcamp for web development!
I started from scratch, as I had no experience in programming before starting the bootcamp. The Le Wagon Bootcamp is the perfect opportunity to gain really much knowledge as possible in a short, but very tough time.
I founded a technology start up with two other founders. As a founder I am really interested to understand and know all the processes in my company from A-Z. As a technology company, developing is of course one of the core knowledge to understand the business. That's why I decided to start developing skills in programming.
I really enjoy the hybrid model, which gives everyone the opportunity either to work together on campus or to work from home on a daily base. The atmosphere on campus is really great, people are kind, open minded and always helpful. The diversification of the groups with people from different countries and cultures from all over the world made the experience really special to me. I loved my time as a student at Le Wagon and after finishing the programme I am enjoying now developing my skills further. -

I decided to join Le Wagon after reading a book called Ultralearning by Scott H Young. The 10-week Web Development bootcamp at Le Wagon can be considered as an ultralearning experience except for the fact that we had some of the best teachers and TAs I’d ever worked with to guide us through the process. I trusted the system behind it and I can’t believe how much I learned and what tools I have to learn even more in the future. I believe among all the features the buddy-system ( and also pair programming during the final project weeks) is one of the best aspects of the bootcamp. More importantly you are always part of a community who share the same vision with you and can ask for help any time you need.

All the teachers and TAs were beyond words with their incredible energy and the effort they put into making sure that each and every student was having an amazing experience and whilst absorbing as much knowledge as possible. Those were 10 super intense weeks that made me grow and stretch my own limits, with this said I finished the course feeling that there are no limitations. I would recommend the Le Wagon Full Stack Development course to anyone who wants to learn coding and change their lives. -

I can really recommend the Data Science bootcamp at Le Wagon. It was an intense, but extremely rewarding experience where you learn something new every day. The course is very well organised and the teachers have a lot of knowledge and experience. -

After finishing my math undergraduate I was a bit lost. I was thinking to go for a masters but wasn't sure. And then I found out about Le Wagon. I joined Le Wagon to become proficient in programing and improve my communication skills. I felt that a masters was more theoretical in nature and that Le Wagon provided me the hands on skill to land the job of my dreams.
Eventually, as it turned out, I wasn't mistaken. Within 3 months I managed to learn machine learning and built a reinforcement learning AI which plays TicTacToe as the final project of my team. It was not just the learning process, but what really stood out was the people. Every single moment I felt an integral part of the community and the teachers were more than eager to assist during any step of the process.
I truly recommend Le Wagon to everyone. -

I have joined Le Wagon in October 2021 for the part-time Web Development class. The reason I joined was to increase my technical skills and hopefully find a job in the industry.
I am extremely happy and satisfied for the choice I made because Le Wagon does not only teach how to code but they also do it in a fun way where you can by having fun. I am now a Data Analyst and using all the skills I have learnt at the bootcamp.
I would highly recommend anyone and everyone to pick Le Wagon if they are interested in coding.
Kind regards,

Amazing experience!
I used to be a lawyer for 8 years. Then I decided it was time for a change. I quit my job and signed up to Le Wagon to start my company. Le Wagon was really a game-changer in this project. The experience itself was amazing but it allowed me to get priceless knowledge on how to build a tech product. -

Before going to Le Wagon I was working in a BioMarket after studying advertising. I wanted to change my life on the long term and I don't regret it ! The training was intense but I never felt lost or behind. The platform and teaching process is very well though and the buddy system helps build a good spirit among the students. You end up with a solid background and good enough knowledge to go and live the code life ! -

For the past decade, I've worked in IT as a Support Analyst. The company reorganization was the reason for my career change, I needed challenges and new skills. I always wanted to code but didn't take the right steps until I enrolled in Le Wagon's Full-Stack Web Development full-time program in Montreal.
Through the program, I've built confidence by presenting my project in front of a live audience. The teachers are knowledgeable and helpful, and this program went beyond my expectations. Every day you learn something new that you can apply through challenges, 9 weeks later, you look back and you think: "How did I make a web application?". This is the best decision I've ever made. -

Would recommend to anybody interested in learning to code!

I attended the Le Wagon Web Development bootcamp (full-time) in January 2022, coming from a background as a telecommunications engineer. I’d spent around 3/4 months teaching myself the basics using online resources before deciding to bite the bullet and commit to the bootcamp.
I was super nervous about quitting my job to pursue a complete career change, but now that I’ve completed the bootcamp I can say that I absolutely loved it and I’d recommend it to anybody considering learning to code. The structured learning format meant that I probably learned more on the first week of the course alone than I had done in the previous 4 months trying to teach myself. Make no mistake - the course is very intense and fast paced, but how else can you learn all the skills of a web developer in just 9 weeks?
The course was presented in a hybrid format (have the option of working from home or on campus) which I found worked really well, but I definitely felt like I gained more from being on campus in person.
The thing that I enjoyed most about the course was the people - the teachers, staff & other students.
In my batch, I met some amazing students who I’m still in contact with & there is a very social culture.
The teachers & staff are also so friendly and supportive, and the majority of them are graduates of the course themselves so they know exactly how you feel - any anxieties you might have etc. This really reassured me whenever I was having any self-doubts about whether I was keeping up with the pace of the course.

Before applying to Le Wagon, I used to work as a Bank Clerk coming from an archaeology background. The unprecedented Covid pandemic hit, and I had to find a way of reinventing myself and acquiring a new skill set that would provide me an assured future, a way of settling down. That’s how I discovered Le Wagon’s Web Development bootcamp, an immersive 9-week course that completely changed my life. Not only for the unmeasurable valuable knowledge obtained, but for the equally worth friendships made along the way as well. If you ever decide to take part in the bootcamp - I can assure you that it’s going to be one of the most intense, insightful and fast-paced experiences. But as they say, time flies when you’re having fun, right?

From the coding skills to the life-long friends to the confidence I’ve gained, Le Wagon is truly a life changing experience. I loved the buddy system which allowed me to develop strong relationships with each and every person in my class and now I genuinely feel that I have the support from my classmates, the LeWagon team and teachers to be successful as a web developer. The final project really solidified everything I learned in the previous 7 weeks and it was a very proud moment for me and my team when our web app whose idea I came up with was developed, deployed and finally pitched. I would recommend Le Wagon to anyone who wants to learn the skills, is up for a challenge, and loves to be part of a close community. -

After I graduate from university in a very different field, I had the opportunity to join the part-time web development course fully remote. Because why not learn something new? Completely new.
I had my doubts, of course. I mean, belevie me when I say I knew nothing, I didn't know what slack was nor I had zoom installed in my laptop. But I wasn't alone.
During the monthes spent in the Le Wagon community I was guided in every single step, from the beginning to the end. To the point that I was able to work on several projects with awesome teammates, and proudly so!
I'm not saying that sometimes it wasn't overwhelming: it's supposed to be; especially for absolute beginners like me. But I will say that if you are willing to endure a little bit of frustration in exchange for actual useful skills that will help you shape your future path, well, go for it! -

After a couple of failed attempts to start coding through online courses I signed up for the full stack web development 9 weeks bootcamp at Le Wagon Madrid. It was an amazing experience from beginning to end! The course is very well organized and structured, with excellent tools and a great environment that help you make progress every day. Teachers, staff and students were all super committed in helping everyone make the most out of this collaborative learning experience. Highly recommend it if you are thinking of taking your first steps as a developer, or just want to close the gap with technology teams, which was my case as an industrial engineer working in operations and business tech organizations. Thanks Le Wagon for everything! -

While studying bioengineering I came across several elements of coding which I was always curious about and I felt the need to learn more about it. After some research I found Le Wagon and liked its intense pace and learning environment. I did the 9 week bootcamp in Madrid, batch 785. I learnt a lot in a short amount of time, HTML, CSS, Ruby, Rails, JavaScript and lots of other things. It’s amazing everything you can learn in a short amount of time. Everyone is very friendly and always willing to help. I met very interesting people from all over the world and made lots of friends. You’re coding everyday, and with help from the teachers and TAs you end everyday knowing a lot more. My experience was great and I would recommend Le Wagon to anyone who wants to start a career in web development and is committed and willing to devote a lot of energy and hard work. -

After 4 years in the Banking & Insurance sector and a confined year, I signed up for the web development bootcamp to learn- how to code a website,
- to consider a new way of thinking,
- and especially to better understand the professional exchanges with the Tech teams.
Today, I am happy to confirm the opinions of other alumni at Le Wagon ! The mutual help between students fuels our motivation and despite a level close to zero in programming, the Wagon team is present to accompany us with kindness in the challenge.
At the end of the training, the objective was reached ! I continue to create websites and a new job was offered to me in connection with my activity and my new digital knowledge. If you have always been interested in this field and never dared to take the plunge, I recommend this training with my eyes closed. -

Invaluable experience
I studied with Le Wagon in 2022 during the summer batch. In 9 weeks I went from virtually no knowledge of web development to having a few apps on my resume. Great instructors, friendly atmosphere, and great long lasting connections. Helped me land my first dev job and I'm forever grateful.
