Amazing web development bootcamp !

I used to be a communication officer in a concert venue. During covid, my job didn't make sense anymore as it was more cancelling tickets than organizing concerts. I needed a change of career and the Wagon web development bootcamp was the right fit for me. A short and intense 9 weeks course to get the basics of web development ! I really enjoyed the bootcamp at le Wagon Brussels. The crew is really doing it's best for us to feel like we're part of a big family and is still there for us after the bootcamp for the applying to a job part. -

Le Wagon was a life-changing experience for me. I wanted to take in new challenges and move to a software development position but didn’t know how to start and going to school full time wasn’t an option for me. So Le Wagon was godsent for me.
From day one I was just allowed to learn and face new challenges. To do fun stuff, make mistakes, see different ways of doing things, and learn from that. It was great for my self-esteem as well as teaching me everything that there was.
It was hard work, but in between the teachers, tas, and my classmates, I truly felt like I could do it. And even now I still connect with them and they still help us find opportunities by showing us job fairs or setting up meetings with recruiters.
Honestly, I’m so thankful it happened -

The two most amazing things happened to me this year, first, my son was born, and second, I was able to change career paths with the help of Le Wagon!! I took the 24-week part-time coding bootcamp and it was everything I expected and more!! I have to say, this was one of the hardest programs I have ever done but with the help and support of the Le Wagon teachers, I was able to realize my dream of becoming a full-stack developer. Thank you Le Wagon for the opportunity to learn something new and to make a life-changing decision. -

The best choice !

Before joining Le Wagon Montreal, I was working as an E-Commerce & CRM Manager at L’Oréal Canada. Halfway through 2020, I decided to change careers and move towards product management. The goal was therefore to start gaining relevant experience to get a job as a Product Owner or Manager. I already had the business experience but was missing the tech/dev side of things. That’s when I started searching for a web development bootcamp which would ultimately allow me to better understand the technicality behind the job of a developer allowing me as a Product Manager to better communicate with a tech team. Le Wagon was the perfect opportunity to reach my objective. First, as a student, you are incredibly well supported and guided which is super important when learning a new subject. Second, you have short theoretical classes during the morning and the rest of the time is allocated to practical and hands-on challenges which allow you right from the beginning to get a sense of what it would be like to work as a developer. Indeed, you sometimes need to find solutions on your own using the web which is exactly how you would proceed as a real developer at any company. Last, once we had learned a crazy amount of new information during those first 7 weeks, we started working during the last 2 weeks, in groups of 4, on our final project. That’s when we started using all the knowledge we received on a real and concrete project. The final project helped me better understand what it would be to work with a team of developers, the challenges, and the opportunities. If you are looking for a career change within a tech role I recommend Le Wagon as you have access to an amazing learning experience and a huge alumni database that will help you land a job right after the bootcamp. -

I would highly recommend to anyone thinking about doing le wagon bootcamp to give it a go. I myself was not so certain at first since I really didn't know anything about web dev and if it was the right thing for me. I still gave it a shot and I can only recommend that others do the same. The structure or learning is really optimal to both give you a lot of skills and information as well as keeping you engaged and genuinely enjoy coding. The team there were all amazing, happy to help with anything but more importantly they were genuinely interested in making the best out of the bootcamp experience for you. It's amazing that by the end of the 9 weeks my team and I were able to make a fully functional app called bloom that was capable of doing more than I could have ever imagined. -

Intensive web development course
Read more Read less of Janka's review
Awesome 9 weeks of intensive coding, and when they say intensive - it is intensive, trust me:) Having a bit of background in web development or coding or any IT related experience will be a huge plus, since this is what I realized comparing students who were lagging bit behind to the ones who were more comfortable (because they had some experience in IT related areas). Honestly, some days I felt like giving up due to the workload and comprehensive program, but teachers have been so helpful and encouraging that it helped a lot and as a results was able to enjoy the course and finish with awesome two projects. The fact that there is a teacher rotation where they come from different campuses and countries is actually cool, since you will be exposed to different people with different backgrounds, hence it is also a plus for networking. The atmosphere in Dubai campus is very friendly, staff is chill and very helpful that it feels like they are your friends. Overall, I'd definitely recommend doing the courses if you are really interested in web development and do have time to commit yourself in developing further in this area. -

I can highly recommend Le Wagon Cologne, if you are looking for a Coding Bootcamp! 👩🏽💻
I came to Le Wagon seeking for a new skill that would enrich my portfolio and would give me to opportunity to change my career direction from advertising & marketing to the tech world. This was 100% fulfilled. ✅
At the beginning I felt a little bit overwhelmed by all the new input, but the way Le Wagon is structured was just a big help to get into it. We worked everyday with a different "buddy" to exchange ideas, learn to help each other and motivate us.👫
Also there are assisting teachers at any time, who patiently answered my questions or helped me further when I got stuck in some challenge. 🧑🏻🏫
All the staff is very, very nice & supportive and make you feel family-like for that time. -

The great door to enter into Tech World or boost your career
Read more Read less of Pierre's review
I enrolled into the full-stack dev program in 9 weeks at Le Wagon Bordeaux, and I can confirm that it lives up to its reputation, and even beyond!It’s both complete and very actionable: what you learn there sticks to the reality of application development in the world of Tech.
So yes, it's hard, but you can't learn a lot, that fast, without effort! Fortunately, everything is well thought out : Well-constructed preparatory work, progressive difficulty in the courses and exercises, online resources, a strong spirit of mutual help between students, and the permanent support of the professors throughout the program.
The training is not only for developers: Coming from Product Management, I wanted to learn to code to acquire a solid technical background, which would allow me to be more relevant in the development of solutions with technical teams, and more autonomous in the prototyping of my ideas.
I came out of these 9 weeks with the technical skills I was looking for, and a very good memory of this Bootcamp. In addition, Le Wagon community is wide and active, and the quality of events organized in Bordeaux allowed me to enrich my professional network.
In short, I highly recommend it! -

Best decision made and amazing experience

I previously worked in the banking industry as a Business Major but always wanted to upscale my technical skills, which is why I decided to join a bootcamp. I chose Le Wagon because of the diversity of people that typically are admitted into this bootcamp both in their experience and in their cultural background. Additionally, I wanted to be a part of a collaborative and supportive network of people always willing to help each other. Le Wagon has offered me all of those: a supportive community where everyone is extremely willing to help even after completion of the bootcamp, including teachers and staff, from any of their campuses throughout the world. The curriculum is great and really, you have to trust the process, because it may seem crazy to think that in such a short period of time you will feel confident in making a web application on your own, but it does happen. Beyond the intensity of the whole learning experience, the buddy system is great: we pair up with other students everyday in order to help each other or get a different perspective on the coding challenges, and the final team project was the cherry on top. All in all, it was a great experience that I am so happy I quit my job for. I feel confident about my coding skills and the bootcamp cares to make sure you are on the right track after graduation by suggesting all the tools and courses that will help you grow further. Le Wagon most definitely does not end at graduation! -

Being a translator by profession, when I joined the 9-week intensive web development course at Le Wagon, I had a hard time keeping up with the classes because it was so intensive. I felt a bit lost the first two weeks, having the feeling that I was the only one behind everyone else in the "class". Little by little, you adapt, you take things in hand and you move forward. You have to be able to follow the rhythm, but the teachers, TA (teacher assistants) are very nice and help you when you get stuck during the coding challenges. The bootcamp provides students with immense resources (videos, access to exercises, and their solutions, etc.). The training is indeed expensive, but it's worth it. In the last 2 weeks of the course, you also have projects that you will build from A to Z as a team and present during a DemoDay. At the end of the training, Le Wagon organized the Career week where we had the opportunity to meet some companies. Honestly, I liked my experience at Le Wagon. I would say that Le Wagon is also a great human experience, which allows me to meet people from very different backgrounds. -

Don't believe the hype - not worth the money
Read more Read less of Ben's review
Honest review of Le Wagon London, not good, not good at all. It's unethical to take 6.5k from people and not deliver on what what was promised. This course is advertised for beginners, it shouldn't be. There was a lack of support from staff for students who were struggling on the course as well some arrogant, entitled staff members and students who were allowed to get away with some very questionable behaviour by the management. The overall vibe was quite toxic, it seemed that Le Wagon are only interested in getting your money. If you are considering doing a bootcamp, there are much much better options out there, also teaching Ruby is probably not the best curriculum as most jobs are in JS right now. -
Sara Rahali
A life-changing experience!
Read more Read less of Sara Rahali's review
After my Bachelor in Business Engineering, I wasn’t sure of what to do and I didn’t want to fall into that ‘become-a-consultant’ kind of path. I had heard about Le Wagon thanks to a classmate, and I had studied a really basic introduction to programming within my curse, so I thought it would be nice to add another string to my bow by learning to code!I had never coded anything in my life, so I was a bit afraid but the way Le Wagon has built their program makes it really easy for anyone to do it.
Before starting the bootcamp you have to do a full prep-work that includes courses about Ruby, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and some web preparations. It’s also a way to really see if learning to code is really what you want to do!
We then start every day with a lecture, and then we work on challenges the whole day, with Teachers and TA’s available to help us. We also end with what we call ‘live code’ which is basically a big exercise similar to what we’ve been doing during the day, but that we’re doing altogether.People at Le Wagon is also something that made this whole experience as amazing as it was: from the Teachers and TA’s always being available to help, to the Le Wagon Madrid team (Fanny and Emilia): they made everything they could to make our experience as smooth as possible.
We also were very lucky in my batch (#725) because we’re very close, and those classmates really turned into a family! <3Another very nice point is that you get life access to Kitt, the Le Wagon platform. And this means life access to all the lectures, challenges, tutorials, every resource stays available to you! We also have a huge community on Slack where there are channels for every need: to find a job, to ask questions, to ask for help, or to share memes.
Doing the bootcamp has definitely opened a lot of doors! Before the end of the 9 weeks, I had already received two job offers. Furthermore, we had an extra ‘Job week’ where we have been given guidelines on how to build our resumes, how to take care of our GitHub, and we got loads of tips and tricks from Alumni as well as Start-ups owners or Teachers.And if you want to have a glance at what my classmates thought about Le Wagon, don’t hesitate to have a look at the Le Wagon Spain Instagram account, where I took over during a week to show the student point-of-view of this life-changing experience! -

I decided to take le Wagon's Web Development course after seeing that there was a course in presence in Munich. The level of the course was always challenging but never impossible. You can tell that a lot of experience has gone into planning the course content. The teachers and other staff at Le Wagon made the 9 weeks a wonderful experience that I would not want to miss. In the last three weeks you can put everything you have learned into practice in the so-called Project Weeks and develop and launch products yourself, to see what you can learn in such a short time and then also implement was just great. -

I joined Le Wagon to get to know the world of coding and tech. I felt that my university did not teach me the needed tech skills for today's economy, and I wanted to change that quickly. The Bootcamp was the perfect place to do that, and I'd do it again in a split second. All of us have learned more in those nine weeks than I could have ever imagined.
If you think about it, do it! It is only nine weeks of your time, and you most probably won't regret it. -

Joining Le Wagon must have been one of the best decisions in my life! It's unreal how much you can learn in only 9 weeks. The completely hands-on approach and fast pace of a bootcamp are different to everything we’ve seen before.
The teachers and TAs were a huge support. Knowing most of them had been through the bootcamp themselves was a huge support as they knew the struggles we were all going through. Their patience and effort to explain us every single thing were impressive.
Having a buddy system and pairing up with different students everyday was super cool, as we got to meet and work with different people, but also because it's much more efficient, as you end up explaining things to each other and figuring the challenges out together.
One of the reasons I joined Le Wagon was the product-oriented approach they have. Being able to build two products from scratch in small teams, going from the UX/UI design, to the development behind it and finally pitching it on our Demo Day was amazing.
The atmosphere at the campus in Cologne was just great, the staff is amazing and the views from our office are the best. I would recommend Le Wagon to anyone looking for a coding bootcamp. And of course would recommend Cologne if you're looking to do it in Germany - the vibe of the city is awesome! 🚀 -

Truly worthwhile
Read more Read less of Jack Mao's review
If you want to make your first serious forays into coding, look no further. The full time web dev course delivers like no other.
I've done some coding in the past but never had enough time or guidance to make a worthwhile app. When I looked for coding Bootcamps, I was almost shocked by the sheer number of and high ratings of Le Wagon. The numbers didn't lie: if you want to learn the basics of web dev and touch on a plethora of modern day programming basics (well, at least using the very user friendly Ruby and a tiny bit of JS), this course will be worth your time and money.
What are the weaknesses? Sure, more JS would have been nice in general. Ruby may not the single hottest language right now. Some TAs are (much) better than others. Maybe 3 weeks of project work is a bit much.
However, I think Le Wagon stands out because of three things and I expect them to get better, not worse over time:
1. Teaching materials are EXCELLENT. The challenges are truly hard. I went to a pretty good university (by UK standards) and am pretty logically minded I would say. I finished all mandatory challenges during the days (with TA help, one exception), just about. Never finished all optional challenges during the day
2. The teachers / TAs are great overall. Very knowledgeable, super helpful on strange and beyond-coursework borderline-CS questions (of which I personally had a lot), even and particularly during project week when you can do projects that really push the boundaries of the course
3. Le Wagon offers great value to students with comprehensive libraries of useful webdev tools and additional lectures which you can still access afterwards
Sure, bear in mind that this is a 8-week course not a 4-year computer science degree, and you're unlikely going to be the next Jobs after this bootcamp alone. However, if you have decided to do A bootcamp, I think LW is a great place to start -

Great Experience at Le Wagon Berlin

After 3 years working in Investment Banking, I decided to update my skill-set with some tools that I could use for whatever my next professional challenge would be. That’s why I decided to study Data Science.
Choosing Le Wagon was a no-brainer for me since it is the best coding school & their approach was exactly what I needed - a hands-on Bootcamp where you can learn by doing challenges.
In addition, some key competitive advantages I’d like to highlight are i) the Teaching Assistant support during challenges - that makes the difference if you're stuck with something you've never done before, ii) the continuous update of the lectures, challenges & program overall to be up-to-date in the field, and iii) their product-oriented approach - that makes the Bootcamp a pretty good approximation of the real working challenges, and hence, an easier landing in your next job :) -

When I joined Le Wagon's Data Science bootcamp in Berlin, I already had some coding autonomy. However, I wanted to improve and raise the difficulty bar of my projects. Le Wagon was the right choice. Its learning path is practical: it's based on challenges and cooperation with classmates. I could get the knowledge and the intuition behind programming in data science. The complexity of the final project that I carried out with a team of classmates made me see how much my skills improved during the bootcamp. I highly recommend it. -

Coming from a finance background I did not know what to expect when I signed up for Le Wagon. I just knew I wanted to change my career and do something meaningful. I took the Le Wagon part-time course and it was nothing short of amazing. It was one of the most intense yet enriching programs I have ever done. I learned so much and in the end, I can confidently call myself a full-stack developer. As a bonus, I met some of the most helpful teachers and TAs that I ever had, with who I intend to keep in contact throughout my career as a developer. Thank you Le Wagon for playing a huge part in a life-changing decision I made. -

Before starting the bootcamp i was working as a bartender and a little bit as a sound designer. Thanks to Le Wagon i discovered the world of coding in a way that i could have never done by myself. The buddy-sistem allowed me to team up with a diferent mind everyday, preparing me to be versatil in the diferent teams that the Professional world can provide. The beautiful Team and TAs helped a lot aswell, being mentore byby a team full of love and careness really makes the difference. And also to conclude the bootcamp we did a Final Project where we emulated a real world product development. To conclude, im very happy with my experience at Le Wagon. I would do it again and recommend it always. -

As a media designer I see in web development the natural evolution of media. I joined the bootcamp because I wanted to learn to code and some colleagues developers recommended me Le Wagon. The process of the bootcamp is fast paced. You will learn a lot in a short amount of time. But you will have support from TAs anytime. Including some spiritual guidance from amazing and capable people in case you need it!. You will also have your daily challenges and a buddy to work with. This will be the implicit challenge not many are aware of: being open and communicative. Don't forget you are working with humans! And finally you will end up with a fully working web application. All in all it was a great challenging experience!! -

The Wagon was an unforgettable experience for me, a real breath of fresh air, where I was able to learn to code in Python during the summer. This allowed me to acquire skills but also to grow in the company where I am currently working. I approach data with a whole different perspective and I am able to conduct much more relevant analyses. Also, I can scrap websites easily. Le Wagon has also allowed me to join a great community, made up of mutual aid and benevolence. I will miss the surprise breakfasts and the crazy parties! -

Best Decision Ever!!! Highly Recommend

Being a Mom of a 3 year old during the COVID lock down and being a career changer, I was unsure of what to expect from the Boot camp. How hard would the challenges be? Will I be able to understand the concepts that would be taught? These were some of my concerns when I enrolled. But I was astounded by the amount of support you get from the Staff and the fellow team members. During enrollment interview, I went thinking that the Data Science course would be the right fit for me. Paal, the Melbourne Manager took the time - listened to my interests, passions and suggested that Web Development would be the right fit for me. He gave me a few days to decide, I followed his advice and joined the very next Web Development Batch in Melbourne and super glad that I did. I was lucky enough to learn from some of the Best Coders!!! CurriculumYou kick off the day with a morning lecture,then you get to do 3-5 mandatory challenges and a few optional challenges if you feel up for it. At the end of the day, you have a fun live coding session with your Teacher. The entire curriculum is designed in such a way that, you actually work with your team and use the Best Design Practices like GitHub, Agile Methodologies and even Pair Programming. The Best Part is that no one is left behind. If you are stuck at any point your Teachers are always there to guide you. Despite the course being a bit fast paced (I personally found it enjoyable...), there are a few catchup days included in the course schedule. I would never have guessed post bootcamp I would have the confidence to design an app from scratch to finish. And guess what, you learn all this in 10 Weeks. Skills Acquired during Bootcamp:- Using the Terminal, VS Code & GitHub- Softwares like (Ruby, SQL, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, SCSS, JavaScript, Ruby on Rails Framework)- Pair Programming- Agile Methodologies (SCRUM)- Confidence to present your code and develop an app start to finish Last but not least,Post bootcamp you unlock even more resources - more challenges, tutorials, career guidance ... The moment you enrol, the Le Wagon Team is invested in your success! Highly Recommend -

I have been studying finance in a business school for 5 years before joining le Wagon. I wanted to acquire additional skills in data analysis, data sciences and task automatisation. For those reasons, I joined the Le Wagon Paris Data Science bootcamp during the summer 2021. Following the bootcamp, i decided to leave finance towards a data science career. I am currently working part-time as a Teaching Assistant at Le Wagon and taking job interviews for a data analyst position. Le wagon have been a life changing eye opening experience, both regarding my personal and professional life. -

The Le Wagon Bootcamp is a great way to develop programming fundamentals and get a strong foundation of coding best practices. Content is jam packed into a 10 week schedule and the exercises reinforce your learnings as you go through each module. Teaching assistants are excellent and would definitely recommend to others! -

Highly recommend.
Doing the Le Wagon Full Stack Engineering Bootcamp is one of those decisions you'll be thanking yourself for years for doing, and one of your biggest regrets if you don't. The course taught me a suite of tools to build any basic web app that I'm beyond excited about, but what was more valuable was the experience. I think LW have got 'teaching learning' and 'running a community' down pat - you should take notes on those elements as well because you come for the content, but stay for the community. It's such a great learning environment run by impressive people with only the best of intentions.
Truth: anyone doing this course will leave in a net better position after completion. -

Taking part in the web development bootcamp at Le Wagon Berlin was one of the best decisions I could take. Le Wagon has a great learning program to teach you the most important topics about programming which really gives you the tools to think as a developer. The method of solving challenges and flashcards helps immensely to fix the knowledge and keep the learning process really engaging. Besides that, they have an amazing team of teachers and teacher assistants who are really kind and good at it. After the bootcamp, they also provided us with a well structured career week with full of valuable advices and a post bootcamp learning program! I can only recommend Le Wagon bootcamp. -

Hi Everyone🖐
I'm Tim and I just completed the LeWagon DataScience Bootcamp this Summer in Berlin 📊👨🔬 Honestly speaking, it was -by a margin- the best experience I had in a while!
After finishing my MA degree I was ready to kick off my career life in Asia, but due to the global pandemic and some unfortunate circumstances I had to give up my plans and return to my home country, where I was struggling to accept that my prior dreams had shattered. I needed to find a new direction and LeWagon gave me exactly the right impetus to push my life towards new goals - becoming a developer and finally finding the freedom that I seek! 🚌🌄
During the Bootcamp I learned enough about DataScience and overall programming to now work on projects that I never thought possible before, such as building trading bots that can generate a source of passive income. I have to say that the support, teaching style and overall organization from LeWagon has been excellent throughout the 9-weeks and even after graduation, I know, that I am now part of a community, that I can rely on if I ever run into problems. 👨👩👧👦
I would recommend the LeWagon Bootcamp to literally anyone, who is looking for an impactful challenge that can lead to a position in the tech industry. -

Working previously in finance, I had always been interested in learning how to code but the dev world seemed a bit gloomy to me. That’s why following the full-stack web development course of Le Wagon was great: we learned so many things within only 9 weeks, and I’m really proud of what we achieved for our final project!
Big up to the teachers/TA, the learning platform and the buddy system, which make this experience both intense and totally worth it! -

I was part of batch 676 and had an amazing time as I got to learn coding with some of the best teachers from all over the world as well as other students who were motivated to learn. There is a reason Le Wagon is known as the best coding bootcamp in the world and you feel it before you even set foot in the classroom. I would highly recommend anyone interested in learning to code to join Le Wagon as it is truly one of the most life-changing events that I was part of. -

I used to work in Product in the automotive industry. After 4 years I was looking for a change but I was lacking tech skills to get a job a job in Tech so I decided to apply to the Full-time Web Development bootcamp of Le Wagon. I loved this experience from Day 1: being back at school, learning so many concepts from great teachers everyday, and meeting so many inspiring people coming from very different backgrounds. It was a life-changing experience for me and would highly advise to anyone who is looking for a big change in his career and get right tech skills and tools to thrive to go for it! -

Before starting the bootcamp I was working as a QA Lead. I wanted to shift from testing to writing software so I signed up for Le Wagon. The whole team were extremely supportive and I was surrounded by motivated and driven people - it is an empowering and exhilarating environment in which to learn. I am thrilled that I took this route and would recommend it to anyone! -

Just Amazing!

I was always interested in the tech world and amazed by programming. Before the course, programming seemed to be unreachable and only for the best tech geeks. But at le wagon teachers patiently guide you to become an actual programmer. The teachers are very friendly and also professional. The mood in the classroom is chilled and feels like you are family, but at the same time you learn a lot and need to focus. But you want to focus because everybody motivates you. Additionally, programming is learning by doing and you do a lot of practical work. But it is very exhausting, too. The course gave me the ability to think about different ways to reach my goal. All in all I loved it and an only recommend it to anyone! -

Best Choice for my coding career
Read more Read less of Aaron Staes's review
Before joining Le Wagon I was a student in Marketing, but I felt that it wasn't something for me. So I started exploring other paths and came across coding. I really liked to do it and spend a couple of months on my own trying to learn it. But something was missing. That's when I found Le Wagon, I never expected it to bring me SO MUCH value even after having learned the basics of coding on my own. It's not just the exercises, but the community around it that really add a lot of value. Both Teachers and your fellow students are really valuable. Joining Le Wagon was the best choice I've made for my coding career!
As I was part of a hybrid batch, I experienced both LW Amsterdam & LW Brussels, both we're extremely good and top notch. -

10 week Web Development bootcamp
Read more Read less of Myles's review
Before the bootcamp I was an Art and Design technician at a sixth form college, during the 6 weeks summer holiday I decided it would be the perfect time to develop a skill that I had been practicing on Codecademy casually during lockdown, and fortunately the college allowed me an extra 4 weeks off to complete the full-time web dev course. During the first few weeks, I found the bootcamp very challenging as I was learning so much in a short amount of time. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by it, but it’s important to stayed focused and motivated and eventually understand all of these new concepts and syntax. Fortunately the Le Wagon set-up accommodates for this, and it’s easy to keep motivated as there are helpful TA’s that gave me guidance and walked me through parts where I struggled, there is also a really good buddy-system where I was paired up with a different course mate each day to work together through the daily challenges. This made the community of the course welcoming and easy to navigate as you felt you could talk to anyone and even with a big class you would quickly know everyone, which is a helpful resource on the course and also when you finish it as you can stay in contact and then you’ll have at least 30+ people that are skilled in the same tech-stack as you.
