Le Wagon

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. Read less

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! Read less

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. Read less

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! Read less

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! Read less

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! Read less

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. Read less

Etudiante à Kedge Business School, j'ai eu l'opportunité de pouvoir réaliser la formation de web dev cet été.
Une expérience intense et enrichissante qui m'a fait découvrir le monde du web. Un contenu et une équipe pédagogique au top du top !  Je recommande à 100% ! Merci le Wagon Bordeaux !  Read less

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.

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 :) Read less

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! Read less

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!  Read less

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 :)  Read less

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!

Amazing bootcamp. It is, as they say, a life changing bootcamp. Super grateful of their kindness and professionalism. The community they have created is amazing and will help you in your next steps, which I think is one of the most important things to be worried about when choosing a bootcamp. Read less

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. Read less

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. Read less

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.  Read less

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?
