Great experience !

I decided to join Le Wagon bootcamp because after 5 years in Digital Marketing I wanted to learn more about the tech side and the product. I loved the whole process, every single days you are able to see what you achieved and learnt. My favorite part was being able to code an MVP website from a business idea that I had pre-bootcamp. It’s also the perfect opportunity to build a high quality network when you just moved to Amsterdam :) -

Before starting the course I was working as a Merchandiser at ASOS but feeling really unfulfilled. I didn’t feel like I was using my brain the way I wanted to, and wasn’t stimulated in my job. I had a conversation with one of my friends who had done the Le Wagon course, and he recommended it mainly for the amazing stuff he had learnt but also because of the fun he had on the course!
After the 9 weeks, I feel I have built strong foundations to become a web developer, and Le Wagon has given me the skills to not only learn a programming language but also how to work as a team when developing web applications. On top of this, the extra careers help we received in the 10th week of the course was hugely beneficial, as it taught us all the ways in which you can show off everything you’ve learnt for future employers to see! I highly recommend Le Wagon if you’re looking for a change in your career or if you want to learn more about web development! -
Henry Mutschler
Best bootcamp for web development
Read more Read less of Henry Mutschler's review
Hi! My name is Henry Mutschler and I recently graduated from Le Wagon’s Web Development Bootcamp in London (batch #698). Prior to joining the course, I had just graduated from my bachelor’s degree in Business and Management and had no knowledge in coding whatsoever. I was always very keen to learn how to code, however never had the time, patience, or base knowledge to teach myself. Therefore, I decided to join the Web Development Bootcamp London in July ’21, which in hind-sight was the best decision for me. I completed the full-time, 9-week course and can now confidently say that I have learned languages such as ruby-on-rails, HTML, JavaScript and CSS and others. Overall, Le Wagon has not only taught me how to code but also how to work on projects as a group. I am extremely grateful to the amazing team and my batch mates and will always look back at my time there with great pleasure. If you are also trying to expand your knowledge on coding, Le Wagon is the best place to go, and I could not recommend it more! -

My experience at Le Wagon must’ve been one of the most rewarding learning experiences I’ve had. Before the bootcamp I was going into my 4th year of Biomedical Science, wanting to focus on Computational Neuroscience afterwards, which is why I decided to learn how to code and improve my data science skills. During the Data Science Bootcamp I met the most incredible people, from other students to teachers who were all amazing at explaining concepts and guiding me through daily challenges. The course was structured in a way which was easy to follow, and I could tell I was building up knowledge on different concepts day by day. I was amazed at the progress I had made, going from not knowing how to code at all to completing a final project which classified different stages of Alzheimer’s Disease from MRI Images using Deep Learning. Le Wagon not only helped me develop my data science and coding skills, but also the ability to work efficiently in teams. Careers week was an extra special bonus which helped me massively with writing my CV as well as providing helpful resources about jobs and further study. Overall, 11/10 :) -

Web Development Course
Le Wagon's bootcamp was incredible! It's very hands on and focused on solving exercises, which is key to learn any new skill. The teachers were one of the best part of it, they are so knowledgeable and they make it easy to learn, because almost all of them are alumni of Le Wagon. After 9 weeks I was able to build a web app from scratch with no tech background, which is awesome!

Wonderful Experience

For a long time before this summer, I have been trying to take the first step towards becoming a developer. The seed was planted when I took a simple introduction to programming class as an elective at university. It was my first exposure to programming in any form, and despite the class being quite basic I was instantly hooked. The ability to solve problems and think analytically was something I always gravitated towards, and programming (even in this most basic form) was just so delightful and interesting. This was something, for the first time, that I could really see myself enjoying in the future as a profession. The problem was that I wasn’t a computer science student, and I knew nothing about how to get started after finishing up that course. I didn’t know what kind of jobs I wanted or what jobs were even available. I didn’t know what programming language was the best to start with, or how should I practice, or even what resources were the best place for me to develop my skills. I made very slow progress since it was difficult to know whether the direction I was headed was the one I wanted to go in. I wanted so badly to take the first step towards becoming a developer, but I had no idea which direction that step should be and where that step would lead to. It felt like I was lost in the wilderness of all the information that was out there.
The first time I heard about Le Wagon was from a friend of mine, who unbeknownst to me, was going through a similar situation as I was. At first, I was skeptical. I had heard very little of bootcamps, but I was doubtful that I could learn what I wanted to learn in the span of 9 weeks. Especially considering the syllabus indicated that the teachers would begin teaching from the very basics of programming, which I already knew. I didn’t want to relearn the basics like iteration or conditionals or functions, but rather I wanted to learn how to create something real. I wanted the skills, and perhaps more importantly, the direction to be able to turn my code into a real-life application that can solve actual problems and pains. As I read more and more positive reviews online, I decided to give it a shot. So, I signed up for the Web Development course at Le Wagon for the summer. While I was hopeful about what the experience could do for me, I was internally preparing for a good experience, but not something profound that might help me decide whether I would commit to this kind of profession and perhaps point me to where I should go next.
I was very happy to be wrong.
The bootcamp, although it started with the basics, was consistently engaging and fun throughout. The staff was fantastic and it was very easy to fall into the routine of the day, which consisted mostly of completing fun challenges on the topic of the day’s lecture. Something really clicked for me when our teacher introduced the Ruby on Rails framework to build web applications. It was the first time in my programming journey where I could begin to see the possible applications I could build. The project weeks alone would have really made the whole bootcamp worth it. It was the highlight of the bootcamp by far for me. Working in a group to create a product is dynamic and rewarding in a way that is hard to explain unless you’ve done it. It was far and away the best way to learn. My teammates and I ended up developing a social networking website for foodies. It was staggering to see how far we had all come since the beginning of the bootcamp and incredibly surreal to see what we were able to build over the span of just two weeks. The most important element that I took away from the bootcamp and the project weeks, however, was that it allowed me to develop the skills and learn the process to turn my ideas into real-life web applications. It was exactly what I had been looking for.
I have many more steps to take before I can get to where I want to go. The difference is that I now have a roadmap and some reassurance that I am heading in the right direction. If you find yourself in a situation like mine, where you have many questions and you want to be pointed in the right direction, then Le Wagon would be a good experience for you to have.

Before joining Le Wagon I finished the last semester of my finance bachelor's degree. I consider myself a creative person and I was looking to learn a new skill that combines creativity with the logical aspect of finance. I decided to learn to code and after doing some research, enrolled in Le Wagon's 9-week full-time web development bootcamp. The bootcamp was an incredible experience. All of the teachers and teaching assistants were extremely friendly and made a relatively difficult subject digestible and fun to learn. I was surprised to realize how much I learned while applying my skills during project week when we built a web app that allows foodies to create and join niche tasting events. Le Wagon was a great experience overall and I would definitely recommend it for passionate and driven people looking to learn how to code. -
SOU Déva
Awesome!!
I did the two Wagon track in Bordeaux (Web Dev & Data Science).
In both scenarios, Le Wagon was an excellent bootcamp. It allows in a very short period of time to have an astronomical amount of knowledge and skills. The teaching team is at the top, the content is concrete and constantly updated.
I recommend 100% the investment to be made in this training. -
Yves
The experience I needed
After a year of learning coding on my own through youtube and freecodecamp I decided to go for the next gear. LeWagon teaches everything that we need to know to start our activity while learning among amazing teachers and a great group of students. Exchanges with alumnis are welcomed and are working perfectly. -

Best choice I've made in a long time!

Le Wagon is a fantastic program that you will not regret choosing. After a lot of research online, I chose Le Wagon based on its reviews. And it just so happened that the reviews were true! The 9-week program will challenge you, but at least in my experience, I never felt overwhelmed. The teachers were great communicators and guides, making me feel confident in the process every step of the way. The skills you learn are so valuable. You don't just learn static coding skills, but you learn how to learn. Post-camp, I'm strengthening what I learned as well as adding to my knowledge pool much quicker than when I was previously learning on my own. On top of leaving Le Wagon with skills and projects ready to show employers, I also left with amazing bonds made with my classmates. The people you will meet are all people looking to change their lives and work hard for it. So, if you're a potential new student reading this, why not make some friends and change your life? -

Great teachers

Looking back at the bootcamp, one of my best memories was the moment when I realized that I can do complex things that I didn't know even a few days ago.
The reason that I decided to learn how to code is I wanted to switch my career into a rapidly developing industry and find work that required constant updating and constant learning. A bootcamp format for me was the best way to learn because I wanted to learn as much as possible as quickly as possible and compared to university, the bootcamp format would offer a lot of actual practice.
Le Wagon had good staff, great challenges, and awesome ping pong! Furthermore, it’s clear that whoever created Le Wagon really knows how to teach the necessary knowledge to the students in a straightforward way.
The first week of the bootcamp is really hard, but after the first few days when your brain is twisted the most, you get used to it. The bootcamp environment was very diverse, with students from all over who were extremely good people. Before joining Le Wagon I didn’t have the best relationship with teachers in general, but Le Wagon’s teachers changed that for me. They were great people, easy going and good at teaching. During the “Tech Talk” webinars I enjoyed hearing from actual alumni who have been through the bootcamp, in addition to insights from actual tech professionals. After the bootcamp “Career Week” helped me to boost my LinkedIn and GitHub profiles, and I actually made a proper CV which I like!
After graduating from Le Wagon, I feel like I can learn anything. The bootcamp taught me how to learn. Reading complicated documentation or furthering my knowledge online isn’t a big deal for me anymore. -

Le Wagon Bootcamp best decision in my career transition journey
Read more Read less of Amanda Paranamana's review
Le Wagon Web Development Bootcamp suited my criteria very well. The comprehensive course content , the shorter duration of the full time course and the relatively lower cost are the three main factors that attracted me to choose it as it was the best option for me. It also came highly recommended by a past student who had successfully career transitioned into the IT industry.
I decided to change my career and by joining the Bootcamp I gained the experience and knowledge I needed to achieve it. The technical and soft skills I have learned helped me to start my career in IT. The course is well structured and you will always be supported by amazing teachers. Joining the Le Wagon Bootcamp is the best decision I made in my career transition journey. -

Incredible experience

Joining Le Wagon has been one of the best decisions I've made in my life.
I have tried to learn software development for a number of years previously through a combination of books and tutorials with no significant results. During my self study I’ve found myself constantly stuck in tutorial loop, quitting and restarting my studies more times than I can count until eventually I completely gave up, concluding that I’m simply not smart enough.
Enter Le Wagon:
After enrolling into the bootcamp program I noticed a number of differences between what I’ve experienced before and the Le Wagon curriculum. It is simply far better thought out and presented than anything else. On top of that you get immediate feedback from your teachers and TAs, who will go above and beyond to make sure you understand the material.
You also get to work within a team of like-minded professionals in the common pursuit of learning and building a kick-ass app for the final project, and to quote Ron Burgundy, “in some cases lasting friendships will be made”.
But wait there is more!- Before the program is over you will have the opportunity to join a career workshop where your CV and LinkedIn page gets an overhaul.
- After the program you can also join a series of career development seminars where you are walked through navigating the job market, cover letters and interviews.
- You also get continuous career coaching and advice both during and after the bootcamp.
Overall, this course is definitely good value! -

Great!
I expected a lot from Le Wagon for my Data Science formation and the global experience was even better: the contents of the formation and the custom learning platform were really well structured and all the people at Le Wagon very helpful.
I do not regret the time invested in the formation, it really worths it! -

Amazing web dev bootcamp !!
I used to work in Real Estate Services as a Business Manager during 10 years.
In 2021 I launched my own business as a Recruiter.
I always wanted to learn how to make websites, so when I heard about Le Wagon, I knew that it suited me perfectly (beginner accepted, 9 weeks bootcamp).
I really enjoyed my experience in Le Wagon Paris, I highly recommend the Web Dev bootcamp. -

My experience at Le Wagon

I joined the Wagon’s part-time web development program to learn the basics of programming and software architecture. I have very much appreciated the demanding educational content based on a mix of online and regular classroom, practice (onsite and remote), flashcards and end of batch projects.
Before starting the Wagon I had no experience in coding. The web development program brought me the keys to start a tech company as co-founder (to manage the dev team) and to pursue the learning of coding by myself. On top of having learnt a new “technical skill” I also discovered a new field that I passionate of. -

I attended the full time web development bootcamp in Melbourne from April-June 2021. Portions of the course were taught remotely as Melbourne was in and out of lockdown, but the majority of the class was in person at a co-working space in Richmond. I went into the course with the expectation of learning the basics of building web apps for my own personal enjoyment and to help me become more technical in future roles. My expectations were definitely exceeded by the end of the 10 weeks. The course was structured really well, and each lesson built on top of the next nicely. The focus on pair programming was really nice too, and it meant learning how to work with others in a technical capacity. The final project was a fantastic experience, and I'm even still using the app that I built during that time. I would highly recommend the full time web dev course to anyone who has similar goals as mine. -

Le Wagon is just fun.
The immediate pros are the people - fellow students and staff. Everyone is there to help.
There is a vast amount of content to learn during the course which is all put into practice which really helps solidify what you are learning.
The staff and teachers genuinely care about your success and are always there to answer questions.
The only cons are that I didn't want it to end, I did the 6-month part-time course which I enjoyed as it gave a bit more spread between classes to let concepts sink in.
Though even after the end of the boot camp you are part of the alumni community from all over the world who are happy to answer questions you have for personal projects or challenges in your new job. -

It's unbelievable how the Wagon's courses structure is efficient.
Many of us, as students, were beginners before starting the bootcamp but, after few weeks, we were able to create a functional application from A to Z. We had the opportunity to learn several types of languages and therefore to build a strong basic culture to continue our journey in the world of tech.
For everyone who wishes to learn new things and complete the professionnal knowledge with technical skills (which are more and more requested), I highly recommend this life experience !

Not understanding the applications we use every day felt like a burden and was the main driver to join Le Wagon because building such applications obviously helps better understand today’s most influential trends. What Le Wagon is remarkably good at is setting an aim for the student - daily, weekly, monthly - and making her/him get there in a pedagogical and motivating way. It’s quite a lifting and super rewarding feeling to believe there’s no way a project or idea can be realised and finishing the day with that exact thing and 4 different things done. Making the ‘Le Wagon environment’ more serious would take a lot of the positivity and fun while making it laxer would turn it into a circus school. It’s in the sweet spot.
An absolute recommendation for everyone seeking to understand the buttons we click every day. -

Incredible bootcamp

Learning to code was never on my radar prior to Le Wagon - I’d always assumed you needed a STEM degree and that I’d missed the boat. It was a bit of a daunting prospect when I made the decision to change career and enrolled in the web development course, but everyone at Le Wagon was so welcoming I immediately knew I’d made the right choice. It was an intense but incredibly rewarding 9 weeks, the teachers were fantastic and the platform was really intuitive to use which made the learning process so much easier. I’d honestly recommend it to anyone, it was an unforgettable experience! -

Great bootcamp, amazing experience !
Le wagon Lyon was a really great experience and responded over my expectations : we acquired technical skills with great teachers, learned how to develop a project from scratch, and it was an incredible human experience !
I recommand ! -

Amazing 9-week Program
Overall very good experience for someone coming in with zero working experience in development.
ProsGood team projects, easy to follow curriculum that gets you ready to work individually.
ConsSome people who were a little less quick to catch-up got lost on some concepts, but everyone got up to speed eventually. -

What can I say... the Bootcamp was a wonderful experience for me and at the same time an excellent opportunity to enter the world of coding and develop myself professionally on the technical side. With a background in finance and an affinity for startups, it was my intention to learn how to code for quite some time. After extensive research, I chose the Le Wagon coding Bootcamp.
What I liked most about the Bootcamp was that besides the frontend stack you also learn 2 programming languages (Ruby and JavaScript - the first one is especially great for fast prototyping), that the program is very international, and that the curriculum is well thought out and builds on what you have previously learned. During the 9 weeks, no one was left behind and every single student was taken care of. This was especially ensured by a buddy system and teacher support (e.g. if you had questions about learned concepts or exercises).
The highlights of the program are the project weeks, where the gained skills can be applied by building 2 web applications. There are basically no limits (only the time factor). In week 1 we built a platform to book technical support if someone is struggling with their code, and in weeks 2 and 3 (final project) we built a surfer app that gives a recommendation for surf spots based on current weather data and the experience level of the user.
The environment is very motivating and at the same time, you get to know many new and interesting people. I can recommend the program to anyone who wants to learn serious programming and at the same time quickly get into the world of web development. -
Daniil Volf
Data Science Bootcamp
Read more Read less of Daniil Volf's review
Before Le Wagon i was already working in IT as a product and project manager. Although i had basic understanding of programming and technologies around data i always wanted to dive deeper into this topic. There are many courses and bootcamps for Data Science out there, but i decided to go with Le Wagon, because it seemed to be an intense program. After the bootcamp i can say that it was the right desicion, because the Le Wagon Bootcamp has a great concept that makes it stand out from other courses.
Here are 3 things that are especially worthy to be highlighted:
Mass, quality, availability of material:
Your first impression is probably gonna be, that the pace is way to high, but that's the goal. You go through a ton of material every day and its sometimes hard to cath up.
Every topic will be introduced through a live lecture. But there is also a possibility to watch a prerecorded lesson and take a look into a script later. If the pace was to fast or something wasn't clear enough you can have a look at it in the future, because all the material will be availible for you even after the bootcamp.
Teaching concept and community:
Bacause the topics are new every single day it's pretty tough to get through the challenges without any help. So you have to collaborate. Challenges are designed that you solve them in collaboration with the teachers and other students and of course with the use of stackoverflow & co. There is also a lot of communication on the slack channels, so you really get to know many people and benifit from the huge international community.
The final project:
At the end of your bootcamp you can pitch you own project or join a project of other students. In two weeks (with support from teachers) you, as group of 4 students, will develop and deploy your own web application... and thats impressive.
PRO
Variety and depth of Data Science Topics. You get a great overview of the most important concepts of data Science, because of the high pace you can not really focus to much on one specific thing but you always have the oppertunity to look it up after the bootcamp, because all the lectures and exercises are still availible for you after the bootcamp.
CONTRA
If you do not like to be challenged and face adversity, bootcamp is probably not the right thing for you. If you do not have a technical background and no previous programming experience it can be a pretty rough experience for you on some days. But if you feel motivated, go for it nonetheless. Frustration management is a very important skill, especially in IT. -

Le Wagon Singapore - Web Development Bootcamp Jan-Jul 2021

Trying to condense a 24-week bootcamp journey into a 7-minute read might be as tough as the bootcamp itself, but let me try.
About me. I am a techie, with a fairly long “been there, done that” career in the industry. And in the autumn of 2020 (autumn in Singapore? Use your imagination, I say) I was at the peak of my anxiety and general unhappiness with being the rat on the wheel, and the wheel was getting more slippery with each passing year! It was then that I decided to take the plunge and do the Le Wagon bootcamp. I was very clear about WHY I was doing it - my driver was a creative itch to build new things and use software skills to build them. I was also clear about WHY NOT: for me, the pull wasn’t to get a new job or build a new career - if those were to happen, well and good, but I wouldn’t fret if they didn’t happen, yet I could still walk away with new knowledge and skills that I could tinker with and use to keep me rejuvenated and excited about my life.
Enough about me. About the bootcamp and my ride, from here.
First lesson learnt: it pays to do the pre-course prep work well. I had initially underestimated the load and complexity of this piece, and had to ramp up exponentially before the selection interview with lead instructor Miguel. Frankly, I wasn’t happy with how I fared at that interview, but luckily, Miguel was generally ok with my skill and knowledge level, and I got through.
I chose the part-time program that stretches over 24 weeks. Obvious reasons: I had to balance across the demands of a regular day job and my family. The intensity of a 9-week stint of back-to-back sessions looked intimidating to me, so I chose the part-time course - and it worked for me.
I must admit that at the start of the bootcamp, it felt a bit strange when the classroom sessions seemed to be so “light” on theory, and the constant nudge to work on the challenge exercises. My initial reaction was hey, how can I do this when I haven’t fully grasped the theory? Adapting to this learning-by-doing regimen needed me to double down on paying close attention to and understanding the recorded videos that we were expected to see before each classroom session. At night, I started doing the exercises showcased in each recorded video lesson, before starting on the classroom session challenges. I focused on getting each flash card answer right, even if it took multiple attempts. I realized I had become rusty at retention, and had to ramp up on repetition and practice. After about 3-4 weeks of doing this, I got much better at learning by doing and I got to a point where I was able to complete some of the challenges before the next day’s session started. Hard, bull-headed effort was finally paying off. And I realized that familiarity breeds other things besides contempt and children: self-confidence which then leads to wanting to do more.
Another thing I thoroughly enjoyed about the bootcamp was the challenge exercises - their variety: a mix of brain-teasers, games and real-life needs - they were never boring.
End-of-course project. I started with a deja vu feeling - am I ready to do this yet? And at the end of the project, I realize now that there two crucial factors that made us succeed and achieve what we set out to build and built in 14 days:
(a) a very sensible and pragmatic assessment by our teachers, of the products we pitched to build, driving a fine balance between creating new, interesting value propositions while not trying to go to Mars in 14 days - followed through with continuous mentoring, as well as refinement and critique of each product as it took shape; and
(b) having a framework to follow in actually doing the project, which drew upon a broad canvas of tools and methodologies; this made teamwork and planning easier and more effective, leading to productive, rapid builds in a controlled, coordinated manner. This was particularly important during the weeks where COVID restrictions meant everyone working remotely, without the natural benefits of “common ground” classroom sessions.
Well, that’s the story of the ride, in a nutshell. Not only did we all survive, but we emerged with new wings to fly, perhaps eventually to soar. I realized that each one of us students had a different reason to do this bootcamp - some came to self-actualize, some to improve upon what they were already doing, some to change careers and some to gain first-hand knowledge akin to learning “what goes on inside a kitchen before opening a restaurant”. I believe that our bootcamp education satisfied each of those drivers with its unique mix of content, method and teaching.
For those who've stayed this far for the rolling credits - I take this opportunity to thank my teachers Miguel, Prima, Grace, Ann and the all-round support from Liana before, during and after the bootcamp. I could write a whole chapter on how great each of them are. But I will suffice it to say thank you, and I hope that I can live up to the trust and confidence that they have shown in all of us. -

9 weeks of Full Stack Development with Le Wagon Singapore helped me rediscover my inner geek. Every day, we were challenged with new ways to write better code, relational database mapping and finding that missing semicolon that breaks everything. Although the learning curve was steep, my awesome squad had emerged with 2 web applications that was the culmination of our learning journey. Urban Farmer Online (UFO) and RideNow. Both web-apps are poised to solve real-life user pains and both being our pride and joy. Massive thanks to the Le Wagon SG team for the dedicated guidance and career support after the bootcamp! -

I am an anthropologist from Argentina but since I moved to Barcelona three years ago, I started working in customer service and technical support roles.I wanted to change towards roles that present more complex tasks and that demand a greater intellectual challenge. I was curious about the areas of Digital Marketing, UX and UD but finally, I decided on web programming because I was interested in having the creative possibility of building web apps from scratch.Doing the Bootcamp at Le Wagon was an unforgettable experience. It was a very intensive program that in a very short time transformed and trained me to have a mentality closer to logical thinking. The program is fundamentally oriented to learn backend with Ruby on Rails, the teachers were very close and helped us a lot throughout the journey. The energy that was generated in the group was very positive and stimulating! Totally recommended! -

Before joining Le Wagon I finished law school and worked in big law firms, but most recently in a legal tech startup. I realized how much power lies in the digitalization of the legal market and decided that I have to learn how to code myself in order to drive this development.
Furthermore I was also always fascinated by coding and it's endless opportunities and finally wanted to learn "the magic" myself.
I liked the hybrid format of my batch, starting remotely and finishing on campus. I really enjoyed the vibe of learning a lot in a relatively short time while meeting awesome people on the way, this includes the people from my batch but also the whole staff of Le Wagon that were very supportive. Kudos! Seeing the final project build up over the intense last two weeks and presenting it on demo day was a great experience. -

I entered the Le Wagon bootcamp in Tokyo with two objectives: career change (to become a professional web developer) and take advantage of the bootcamp connections to land my first tech job. I got everything I hoped for and more from this experience. While it’s impossible to learn absolutely everything during this short time, the program leaves you with all the necessary tools to continue your coding journey. The teachers do a great job to prepare you for the future challenges and help you build the confidence that you can find solutions to any problems you may face. I honestly couldn’t imagine a group of more supportive and helpful people. I took part in the full time curriculum, which was a very intense experience but at the same time rewarding, fun and refreshing (back to school feeling, 9 weeks of focusing solely on upskilling). I got a job with one of the hiring partners we talked to during career week. If you want to change your life and can afford the bootcamp, go for it. -

I got my first experience in coding copy/pasting VBA and SQL to automate processes and work with data, I really enjoyed it but felt like I was only touching the surface. So after 6 years in sales and marketing in Berlin (Amazon, nu3 and H24), I decided to change career path and fully dive into coding. I joined Le Wagon for its excellent reputation. What impressed me was the cadence at which we learned each topic, I would have not manage this learning on my own! The teachers and assistants provide great support, they ensure you keep up with the pace and have a proper understanding of each topic. In addition to the classes, I found the big alumni network and career service super valuable to give you a direction post-bootcamp. -

Attended 9-week data science bootcamp in LeWagon Bordeaux. Would 100% recommand it to any would-be data scientist looking for a clear, comprehensive, well-driven bootcamp.
In just 9 weeks, Le Wagon Bordeaux data science bootcamp taught 10 students (including myself) everything we needed to know to envision a career switch to data science. I'm so glad I picked Le Wagon Bordeaux for this bootcamp. You can go there your eyes closed. -

As a business student with a strong taste for technology and design, attending Le Wagon Montreal has been such a great decision for taking my passions to the next level. Before attending the bootcamp, I had some basic knowledge in programming but did not ever find the motivation to go further and to work on real & interesting projects. After these 2 intensive months, I can confirm that everything I've learned has opened the doors to the development industry, which is exactly what I was hoped for. I am now able to have technical conversations with developers, which feels great.The bootcamp is nothing like the university, but you will likely learn way more than at university, and retain more information after the bootcamp. Why? Because of the combination between the smartly designed challenges & classes, the friendly & passionate atmosphere, and the final team projects that involve using all of the skills learned in the previous classes. After the bootcamp, I still have to finish my 3rd year at uni, but I use my free time to continue learning new programming skills on the side. Thanks to the bootcamp I feel confident in learning any new programming language or skills, and I have found some freelancing projects that are starting to add up in my CV. As a piece of advice for prospective students: make sure that you are willing to commit 100%. Everything goes very quickly; try to use every second wisely during the bootcamp to learn, make mistakes, have fun, have a chat with the great teachers and staff! Finally, after the bootcamp, do not go back to your "normal" life. The skills that you will have learned during these intensive 9 weeks are irreversible; take advantage of them wisely and improve on them immediately! -

J’ai suivi le programme Web Development en Full-time, pendant 9 semaines. Il n’y a que du positif à dire, que ce soit la structure et l’organisation parfaite des cours ou l’encadrement dont on peut bénéficier pendant la formation. Tout est fait pour nous mettre en confiance et nous permettre de monter en compétences rapidement. A noter qu’on bénéficie A VIE d’une plateforme complète avec les cours suivis, les live-code des professeurs et beaucoup de ressources supplémentaires pour préparer la suite. On ne peut demander mieux de la part d’un Bootcamp. C’est la préparation parfaite pour une nouvelle carrière. -

Before joining Le Wagon, I was the Business Development Manager for Papier. Having worked at a number of tech start-ups, I was keen to learn to code for myself. Le Wagon offered the perfect balance of challenge and support, with a really well structured curriculum. I especially loved spending the last 2 weeks of the course working in our project groups and seeing everything we had learnt really come together! The team at Le Wagon are the friendliest, and made every single day (even the tough ones!) so pleasant.
