I highly recommend le Wagon not only if you want to change your career, but if you also want to to advance in your existing career! Technology is becoming increasingly important in all sectors, and this was why I attended le Wagon: to stay relevant and to move forward. Those 9 weeks are intense and they challenge your intelligence and resilience, but the amount of information you learn is unbelievable! The program is so well built from day 1 and until you present your final project. The teachers are absolutely top-notch, world-class educators, and the environment is very friendly and supportive. I applied for a job that I thought was a very long shot while I was at le Wagon, and I got it! It was a huge step up in my career, and the main reason I was chosen over other candidates was my (fairly new) knowledge in technology. I started the new job a week after I finished at le Wagon.
This IS the best bootcamp out there. Don’t think twice! -

When I joined Le Wagon Montreal, I was already had experience in IT industry but what attracted me most was the content of the curriculum. It is all about trending skills in IT, from problem-solving, Agile mindset, best practices, design, clean coding, DevOps tools such as Git/GitHub, and TDD to deployment on the cloud, and also constant learning, communication, collaboration, and how to present effectively the final product to the audience. At Le Wagon, all the teachers and TA are absolutely top-notch, and the personal and the students were exceptional. It was like a second family, and hope to keep in touch with this great network of people! At the end of the course, my team and I built a robust and user-friendly web application from scratch. From user requirement analysis, design, implementation to deployment on Heroku, using Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, Git/GitHub, Trello, Agile mindset, Figma. The nine weeks were really intensive and challenging but also exciting and a very rewarding experience, because it was not only about shipping the final product and learning all daily aspect of development life, but also all recommendations and support we got from the personal and teachers that makes us stand out of the crowd. I would recommend Le Wagon to anyone who wishes to learn in-demand skills in IT and take their career to the next level. It is definitely a great experience. -

Coming from a non-technical background, I can confirm that LW's mission statement to "teach coding to creative minds" is true. During my bootcamp, I learned core programming concepts, computational thinking, problem solving and learning how to self-learn. On the product side, I walked away with the ability to map out user personas, create user stories, MVPs, foundational design skills, and once again how to continue building on what I learned during those 10-11 weeks. It is as intensive as they tell you, so whatever preparation you have in mind, do twice as much. Luckily, you have a solid group of peers to support you on your journey and lifetime access to every subject you'll learn in case you want to revisit it. The teachers, TAs and Le Wagon community and alumni are what make this program worth it. You'll walk away with new skills, friends and a community you can always lean on. -

Great bootcamp and great teachers!

Before joining Le Wagon Web dev bootcamp I used to work as a tech recruiter. I worked in different companies over the last 4 years, mainly in VFX and in IT consulting. But I always felt like I was missing technical skills for my daily job. Before deciding to enroll in the bootcamp I had already done a few classes online, which I believe help me catch on concepts faster the first couple of weeks. But it was definitely not a requirement. The entire bootcamp is so well done that you learn new concepts every day but have all the tools and support to understand and use them. I was impressed with how structured the program was. Each day we had classes, challenges, live code, and flashcards, which gave us a strong foundation, to build on from. The entire team at Le Wagon Montreal was really nice and supportive, and they created a great learning environment. Coming out of the Le Wagon I think I have a good foundation to become a web developer and a great structure to keep learning and improve my skills. -

I had a great time joining this bootcamp. I was a bit worried because I'm closer to 40 than 30 and wasn't sure if I would fit in. After getting over initial nerves I can honestly say age didn't matter. The support the teachers and staff gave during the camp was amazing. The learning atmosphere was both challenging and fun. I think that if you have the time, energy and ability to learn this course will be great for you. -

Before joining Le Wagon Oslo I used to work in tourism, hospitality, and translation, but I felt that the skills I gained at the university were not enough to compete in the job market. I heard about Le Wagon from a friend who managed to change her career and find a job as a software developer after finishing the bootcamp, so I decided to try myself in coding as well.
Le Wagon offers 9 weeks full-time web development course (or 24 weeks part-time course) that covers among others Git and GitHub, Ruby, SQL, HTML & CSS, JavaScript and Ruby on Rails. You can learn both the front-end and the back-end, which allows you to create the whole web app from scratch, instead of focusing only on one aspect of it. Many of my fellow students were interested in coding for some time before the course (but many were completely new to it as well), but they didn't know how to use the skills they have gained from different online courses and tutorials. And this is a great thing about Le Wagon's program: it leads you from the process of building software from A to Z, helping to put together everything you learned during the course and upfront. Once you are done with the bootcamp you have a great base to either start at the junior position right away or continue with self-teaching without feeling lost and overwhelmed.
Another important aspect of the Le Wagon program is the community. Bootcamp is not only a learning adventure but also a social experience that lasts even when the bootcamp is over. Being part of a huge (5000+) community of wagoners means that there is always someone you can ask for help, share job offers and experiences, and simply make good friends.
It is not an easy course, but if you are dedicated and hard-working it is worth it.

Become a web developer fast

Le Wagon is a special adventure, extraordinarily rich on learning the technique to code in the right way by asking the right questions from the start. You do not necessarily need to come at the beginning with a solid technical background or from a specific sector to understand the basics. Once you understand the basics of coding, the learning curve is exponential. From my perspective, I did not expect to find a training that could give me such in-depth knowledge of web development and all the other aspects that surround it. In addition, you also learn to code in teams straight from the start, which is great to progress and not to feel overwhelmed. The final projects, which are the cherry on the cake after spending several months of coding is the best way to materialize all the knowledge learned during the bootcamp. Hats off to the staff, teachers, and teachers’ assistants for the remarkable work they have done all along the bootcamp! -

After more than 20 years in online travel partnerships and biz-dev leadership roles, I decided to jump on the Wagon's first ever full-remote bootcamp as Paris confined mid-March 2020, as part of Paris Spring Batch #400.
There would lots to say about the benefits brought by getting hands-on coding experience for a non-developer like me. De-constructing the IT-department or tech-team divide is just essential in times where every company should embrace tech and be agile in its implementation.
What stroke me was the quality of teaching and all-round experience of the bootcamp. Learning a full development framework bottom-up, back-front end coding languages, working on a project as a team using Github and finally, wrapping it all up by taking a problem, building a product and pitching it in the final two week run. Many of the classes taught me skills and know-how I had seen from afar before. Le Wagon has allowed me to demystify web-development, understand some of the stress factors when dealing or selling to developers and how nimble startups can beat large and wealthy corporates on innovation. In addition to LeWagon methodology, tools and teachers, LeWagon alumni network, community and career services are a valuable source of future contacts and opportunities of all sorts.
I highly recommend the course for those working with tech teams (eg Product/Project managers, entrepreneurs or tech sales), interested to get hands-on experience and a better understanding of the tech "black-box". -

After graduating from Marangoni and working a few years in the fashion industry, I realized that my true passion is programming.
I decided to sign up to Le Wagon because of the very positive feedback I found across various websites.I have chosen part time session because I wanted to take time and understand each chapter profoundly.
I greatly enjoyed the course! it was a real confidence boost to feel comfortable learning new skills by myself and applying for developer roles after just a few months. I cannot recommend Le Wagon more! -

Le Wagon, Bali was nothing short of extraordinary!
Read more Read less of Brandon Falter's review
My experience attending Le-Wagon Bali was nothing short of extraordinary! After trying to code on my own for several years and making little progress; I had decided to take my learning to the next level. Having done hours of research for the best program; Le-Wagon kept popping up nearly everywhere on the internet with raving 5 star reviews. I was really cautious to spend money on the program as I am a conservative spender, however my ROI(return on investment) has already payed me back only a few months out of the program. The 9 weeks were super jam-packed with so much to remember; however I still have access to all the content and more through the Le-Wagon learning platform. My only regret is that I didn’t take the course years ago! Im now building applications I have always wanted to do. A big thanks to Le-Wagon and the amazing instructors for the amazing lectures, atmosphere and 101 help to advance my learning to code. I would recommend anyone who desires to learn to code and change their life to lean into Le-Wagon as it was the best education and experience money could buy. -

More than a school! I Was looking for a place where I could sharpen my Pyhton skills. A friend of mine told me once LE WAGON and its DataScience program could provide what I needed. I am a former architect, so it was not a foregone conclusion! But I was accepted. I found a real family! LE WAGON crew, teachers, and students, all of them were so reliable and skilled even when we started the two last weeks of projects. Lectures are truly well structured, and teacher’s explanation are noticeably clear. You do really have the feeling that you are experiencing you next job and not learning something more to add at the end of your CV. -

Beautiful adventure #378
Read more Read less of Linda AIT HABOUCHE's review
I had the chance and the opportunity to participate in the training course of Le Wagon # 378 which I discovered thanks to many interviews with top candidates who graduated from Le Wagon and became today PM or PO in very nice startups.
I embarked in February 2020 for six months of training, which at the beginning seemed crazy and very complicated to manage between my full time job (recruitment consultant) and the courses. But as we completed assignments one after another, I got really invested and time went by very quickly. When we reached ¾ of the training, we had to design an Airbnb-like rental site. This is where one really puts into practice all the things he learnt and starts to feel invincible (haha).
It was a very interesting experience.
I learnt a lot of skills and developed many new ideas ! I really encourage people who want to retrain, start a project or just learn new things to join Le Wagon because it’s truly a beautiful adventure. -

All round great bootcamp

I applied for Le Wagon bootcamp because I wanted to learn about programming and colleagues of mine recommended it. The 9-week format is very intense but is perfect to learn a lot in a short period of time. The staff is very friendly and always tries to be available to help in any way possible. The atmosphere and the people I met during the bootcamp had different backgrounds but were all like-minded and eager to learn together. 9 weeks passed so quickly I wished it lasted longer, it's the best learning experience I ever had. -

For 4 years i was a restaurant manager, i loved my job but it was to difficult to have a personal life. I was already interested to be a web developer and when I heard about Le Wagon, thanks to alumni and friends, I decided that it was time for a big change in my life. I was impressed by the cursus : I learnt fast and intensively because i was passionate. I loved that we were never left alone, always working with other students, and everyday with a new « buddy ». Even better, we are learning useful and trendy languages, that gives a value to our skills on the market. The network of alumni and partners is very powerful in finding a job.In my opinion, this is the perfect bootcamp to learn code, that’s why i recommend Le Wagon. -

I was a hotel receptionist and I have been thinking about a career change and learning code for a while. As it was a completely new world for me and was a bit afraid of the challenge it represented, I took a lot of time to choose the right place to do it and le Wagon was definitely the right choice.
The courses are very clear, and everything you learn has a reason to be there and helps you to have the right mindset. All the teaching staff is always available to explain things, help you think and push you towards the right direction, you can feel they are very attentive and care about your evolution and your wellbeing. They are with you every step of the way and at the end of the bootcamp you feel confident about your future and being able to start your new career.There is also a huge social dimension and you meet a lot of amazing people through multiple events (even though we were at home the 6 first week of the bootcamp they had amazing ideas to help us know each other)I am very proud to be part of the Wagon community and can only recommend it :) -

I was part of the first remote batch at Le wagon. At first I was worried that the bootcamp might not be challenging, and that the lecturers may not be as knowledgable as I expect, which was typical of my previous education experiences. I was proven wrong in the first lecture! The pace of learning and the structure of the course is intense. The teachers are extremely competent, and also take a lot of time to thoroughly explain concepts and help you through the challenges of the day (they'll also make themselves available on weekend by request!). From someone who had zero coding experience, after 9 weeks I feel like I’m on the way to being a constructive member of any future web development team or startup. -

The Wagon is an adventure i am not ready to forget ! 9 weeks of intense work but a teaching philosophy that corresponded perfectly to what I expected. From exercises, to projects, to social events, everything is perfectly calculated to render an all around experience around code ! I particularly loved the projects weeks in which you are faced with tough time constraints for ambitious team projects, a real adrenaline booster. I came looking for skills to complement future projects and came out with a new passion. Coding is now my main activity and thanks to Le Wagon and it’s resources I am still able to learn new skills daily. I highly highly recommend !

Great experience !

I started my professional life in the ops field, in tech startups. I had the chance to discover tech jobs by talking with developers, who were always willing to share about their role. After learning SQL online, I had the opportunity to move to a Data Analyst position. It was a great experience which gave me even more the willingness to learn coding in a proper environment.
I chose Le Wagon Paris because of the product-oriented program, which also includes team work on projects, which was in my opinion closer to professional life than an individual training.
Whereas the training took place during lockdown, I was very happy with my choice. The teachers' team is careful and the training itself is intense and has high-standard. The staff also tried its best to offer opportunities to relate to other classmates with Zoom parties and other activities !
In a few words, an intense and qualitative experience, and great people met ! -

Don't pass this up!

My 9 weeks with Le Wagon was really one of the busiest and most exciting periods of my life. This is simply because of how much we were learning and implementing each and every week. We’d learn, create, break, and fix things all in a day’s work!
The course took place in the midst of a pandemic, so we had to attend remotely. I was a bit hesitant at first because I didn’t want it to feel like just another Codecademy course. My biggest surprise, though, was how smoothly everything ran despite the unexpected nature of COVID and Le Wagon not having much time to make their whole curriculum “remote-friendly”. I didn’t really feel like I was missing out on anything just because I couldn’t go to their campus.
This also speaks volumes to how hands-on the teaching team is, as well as how much interaction they encourage between students. You never really feel alone during the day, which is great because you never get stuck on a problem for very long either!
The level of productivity you get used to during the course is sky-high, so even after it’s over, you find yourself looking for projects or ways to continue coding even in your free time. And Le Wagon definitely gives you enough resources to support your post-wagon journey.
I’d say if you’re deciding whether to do the course, you should just go ahead and do it. I don’t regret doing it at all, and I know I would be kicking myself if I missed it! -
Alexander Eklund
My LeWagon Bali Experience
Read more Read less of Alexander Eklund's review
I completed my 9 week full stack bootcamp in Bali, just over a week ago. And as I let the past few months sink in, I’m really amazed, in myself, how much you can learn in such a short period of time. But let me start from the beginning: last year, in June, 2019, I found myself graduated from a international music college in Thailand, working part time teaching English and part time playing music in bars and restaurants in Bangkok. My keyboard player, an American LeWagon alumni, and former teacher in LeWagon, Milano, was also living in Bangkok working as a rails developer from home as his day job. He used to be finishing up work as I’d come over to his place to practice, and I always thought that whatever he was doing on his computer looked like total hieroglyphics to me and coding was not something I’d ever thought I'd be able to do, I mean, I failed my Intro to Math my junior year three times. But at the same time I was envious of the lifestyle and being able to earn a good salary working from home, so I started asking questions. My buddy told me right away that I could totally do it too, and gave me the Ruby track on Codecademy to check out. And basically said that do this and if you feel like this is something you could work with then just join LeWagon. I had been asking some people who, well let’s just say are kind of self-proclaimed experts of a lot, saying “Nobody uses Ruby anymore, React is the new thing”, and “You can learn all that stuff on Udemy for way less money”. But I stuck with my buddies advice and signed up for LeWagon. I pushed the date forward a couple of times, and was set to start the bootcamp in Bali, in March 2020. And then covid happened, but I had postponed my bootcamp enough times so when LeWagon offered to do the batch online I decided to join anyway.
The bootcamp started with Ruby, and although we started from the very beginning the exercises always found a way to challenge you and help you grow as a programmer. Those first two weeks we got thrown into a world of logic in Ruby and Object Oriented Programming that were mind-boggling and really challenging, but also satisfying at the same time when you finally understand the flow and you’re able to do it yourself using some kind of refernce, it feels like all that energy spent solving a bug in your code, you immediately get back when you solve it. Moves on to more front-end based phase and also a week of JavaScript.
The bootcamp is fast paced, the amount of concepts you learn in a short period of time can will feel a bit overwhelming, but I recommend just trust the process, and as long as you can understand the big picture, most things will make sense when you enter the world of Rails during the last month of the bootcamp. All that grueling logic you fought so hard with during OOP week is going to be made much simpler (in theory), but ultimately yes, and you’ll also finally see how the front-end and the back-end comes together and you’ll be able to create real apps.
The last two weeks are dedicated to final projects. I joined my batch mate Taylor who came up with idea for the app ‘UpHold’ and two others, and set out to build an app that let’s you report your encounters with the police, designed to create accountability and uphold the police to a higher standard. I’m really happy that I did the bootcamp, as I continue to learn React I’m constantly reminded of how helpful a good foundation in Ruby/Rails is helping me understand these new concepts. The program is overall really well designed, the teachers are total pros at what they do, and you can really feel that they love to see you succeed and they work tirelessly to make that happen. Although I haven’t personally used this superpower yet, but the LeWagon slack community seems really helpful and you feel like you’re not alone in this even after the bootcamp. Best of luck to all you other aspiring developers out there. -

BEST DECISION EVER

I have a MA in marketing with 5 years of experience in digital project management but I felt a bit stuck in my career. I needed a change and a new challenge but I was a bit scared about joining le Wagon. A coding bootcamp. Two scaryyy words but scary can be good. Very good.
Deciding to learn how to code was one of the best decision I took in the last 5 years!
The learning process: lectures, challenges, livecode, flashcards is very well thought. We had wonderful teachers and the TAs supported us in so many ways, technically and mentally.
No surprise the Wagon is such a world renowned institution. Today, I can code, I met some amazing people with different backgrounds AND I know that I want to be a Product Manager. -

I had always dreamed to know how to build a website, and attending the 9 weeks bootcamp at Le Wagon was a good opportunity to finally do it. It was not easy to leave my comfort zone, the experience was intense but it was really worth it. I discovered a fascinating part of the web world. The team of teachers was amazing, you are safely guided to learn new skills and put them into practice immediately. I enjoyed everyday of the training, especially the last 2 weeks, when I had the opportunity to work with a team to build a web app from scratch. At the end, you can only be proud of what you achieved in only 9 weeks. -

After my accounting degree, I decided to join the wagon bootcamp to learn how to code. I watched several demo-days and saw the quality of the level obtained in just 9 weeks. I am very satisfied with the level that I acquired when I left the bootcamp, and the educational content that I still use today. The teachers are really involved in our learning throughout the training and Le Wagon community is also very valuable. -

I had a great time learning at Le Wagon, the teachers and TAs were very understanding and supportive and It is a great way to kickstart your career in tech if you are interested in boosting your skills or changing careers. I have learnt many skills and not just in coding but critical thinking and business development as well. A great starting point for anyone who is looking to create a start up. You also get access to a huge amount of lifelong resources that can be used in the future and a great network of Le Wagon coders as a bonus. Overall I am very happy with the course and the curriculum and the way it is taught and I highly recommend Le Wagon. They are the best for a reason I went into the course with zero coding experience and now I feel like I could tackle any project or work in any tech field. -

Valuable Experience
Read more Read less of Anastasiia's review
For some reason I decided to change my profession as a translator and start learning to code. First of all, I began to study on my own and took various online courses. I realized that I like it, that web developing is interesting. But it was difficult for me to learn everything on my own, to organize myself in order to devote much time to my studies, and it was also difficult to structure all the material. Therefore, I decided to go to study at Le Wagon.
Despite the fact that under the current circumstances we had to deal with online bootcamp, I really liked how everything was organized. I can highlight the following:- Well structured curriculum;
- Amazing teachers, staff and lovely environment in general;
- Support and help;
During the 9 weeks the bootcamp provides a good knowledge base and a minimal understanding of how everything works in web developing. Now I’m looking for my first job in this area and continue to learn. -

A great school with excellent teachers and staff who take the time to explain you all the content of the courses.
I enjoyed my time and took a lot of experience during these 9 weeks.
If you have a lot of motivation and you want to learn the code in a nice way dont hesitate.
Thanks to Le Wagon Lyon for all the knowleadge -

I have been working in retail for several years and was a merchandising manager when I decided to quit everything and I enrolled at Le Wagon. I chose Le Wagon because it had a really good ranking, I was able the attend the class in person, Le Wagon was one of the only ones to offer this and it was only 9 weeks.
Despite de the fact that we were not able to attend in person, Le Wagon pivot quickly to provide us as much as possible with the same experience we would have had if we were not forced to be home.
From the beginning, you really feel part of a community that expends around the world. The team and the teachers were amazing. Really there to support you through the process.
You explore many different concepts to be able to create web applications in a really short amount fo time. Because of that, I was able to discover new avenues in the tech industry and now have a better idea of what I want to do. -

As an alumni of the Web Development Bootcamp, I had very high expectations for the Data Science Bootcamp at Le Wagon. I was very delighted to be back in a very similar setup : the outstanding Web Dev methodology works very well for the Data Science Bootcamp as well. Fast paced, the program ends up being approachable thanks to the wonderful teaching team and a well designed curriculum.
As an ex investment banker, my workflow usually involved Excel and Powerpoint when analysing data. Thanks to this training, I now feel empowered by state of the art skills that I think will make a huge difference in a landscape where data is becoming more and more prominent. I have a strong belief that those skills will eventually become as necessary as mastering excel when dealing with data, and I am glad I made the decision to stay ahead of the curve with this bootcamp.

I was 25 years old when I began to work at a Tech company as a Support Analyst and I fell in love with technology. I spent 2 years thinking about joining a bootcamp but I was afraid that I was not good enough to learn how to code because I didn't have a background that was related to Computer Science or anything - I was a Public Relations.
On 2019, I heard about Le Wagon Rio from a friend who went to Law School that he was joining LW's Web Development course. After hearing about his experience, doing some Google Research and also meeting Le Wagon's team in Rio, I finally decided to learn coding and join their Part Time Bootcamp - and it was the best decision of my life.
I learned Ruby, Rails, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Git, how to collaborate in GitHub.. And the best part: we don't learn only from exercises and classes.. we had to work on 2 Websites: one market place and one final project. In summary, even without a Computer Science background, Le Wagon taught me 4 languages, how to work with my group, how to manage a project, and I was able to delivery two beautiful projects in the end.
After doing all my research I was decided to do Le Wagon's bootcamp due to their methodology, curriculum, and because of all the reviews I found online and also from all the histories I heard from my friend. And all my expectations were exceeded! Their methodology can teach people from all ages and backgrounds. Besides it, their teachers are knowledgeable and great. I have never met motivated teachers as Le Wagon's. They were always there for their students.
After Le Wagon I started to get involved with educational institutions as a mentor/teacher to help other people to make the right decision and to share my knowledge and started to work on projects along with my full time job. And even after my graduation, I can still access Le Wagon's classes, which they are always updating, I can still talk to my friends and teachers if I need help and I have plans to never stop learning about technology. -

I was interested in programming for a long time before joining Le Wagon and I was constantly trying to learn in my own time to try and get a job in the field. In my 9 weeks at Le Wagon, I learned more than I had in the years since I started learning programming. There's no comparison in the level of motivation and the amount of support between learning alone and learning at a bootcamp.
At Le Wagon, you learn something new every day and then use that new found knowledge to solve a series of programming challenges. This formula is incredible for getting you to feel like you're constantly progressing and getting you to learn the topic in and out, it was addictive. Throughout the day, you work with a partner which is a lot easier than working by yourself and having someone there going through the same problems is great. It gives you a sense of camaraderie and competition that really boosts your productivity.
I had a great time at Le Wagon, I made friends and learned an incredible amount. -

I debated doing a bootcamp for a while because I thought that if I just tried hard enough, I would be able to learn to code by myself. After doing the Le Wagon web development bootcamp I see that even though it is possible to learn on your own, it is just smarter to have people help you on the way. The environment of a bootcamp is simply a lot better for learning, and the 9 week course represents probably more than a year of learning on my own. Le Wagon's value is incredible with a third of the cost of similar bootcamps. I had a great experience with my teachers and fellow students and it was definitely one of the best decisions I've made to do this bootcamp. -

Le Wagon goes beyond and above. I have never had in all my school life such a seamless (and intense!) learning experience. Before applying, I noticed they were number #1 in all rankings. Now I understand why. It is in my opinion due to 4 main factors:- The pedagogy
- The online platform
- The team’s professionalism and care for their students.
- The career week & alumni network

After assessing what I enjoyed most across my marketing roles, I decided I wanted to learn to code because what I wanted most out of my career was to be problem-solving and continuously learning and challenging myself.
I had very little experience writing code prior to the bootcamp, but from day 1 we started learning and coding and building up our confidence each day. The bootcamp is intensive and is very well structured for people at different levels of experience and knowledge. Whether you're a beginner like me, or aren't completely new to tech, the programme is designed for anyone. The teachers are extremely knowledgable and supportive and the overall vibe and energy throughout the programme was amazing.
On top of the tech skills I gained, I was also introduced to an amazing community of people who have helped and guided me throughout my journey. Best experience! -

Learning to code in 9 weeks sounds amazing and I needed the courage to start this journey I am so grateful for! After moving to Montreal, I started working in the Gaming Industry and was very curious about coding. In 2020 I finally decided to start a new chapter in my life and joined Le Wagon Bootcamp. During those 9 weeks we learned Ruby, Javascript, Ruby on Rails… During Project weeks, that’s when all knowledge comes together and we create Web Apps we would never imagine!
Something we needed during those 9 weeks was support from the teachers, and we had all the support we needed to complete every challenge and finish the day waiting for the next morning to learn something new. And the most important, Le Wagon leads you to be part of the Tech community, so you have much more support! I am glad to be part of the Tech Community now! -

DO IT!! I promise you’ll thank me later. Enrolling in to Le Wagon was the best decision I’ve ever made.
I was looking for a career change and looked in to coding purely because I like riddles. I chose Le wagon as it was recommended by a friend who had recently completed the bootcamp.
I had no background in tech and now feel completely comfortable in building a web application from scratch, this is due to the intensive and rewarding structure of the course and the amazing staff. The teachers and teachers assistants are super knowledgeable and encouraging. The staff as whole were very inclusive and welcoming and I never felt as though I was being taught by teachers, but more like I was just in an office with friends and some friends just knew more than others.
Aside from the tech skills I was taught, I was introduced to this amazing community which has given me connections all across the globe. I feel I made lifelong friends with the other students from my cohort and the staff.
If you’re looking to explore the tech world as a new comer or looking to up-skill, in a practical, real world environment, working in collaborative teams, I highly recommend Le Wagon Melbourne.
