Le Wagon

 I started my journey at Le Wagon on the 5th of April 2021. Before that I used to work in the Fashion industry. I was Wholesale Administrator for a luxury brand for 4 years. I new I wanted to change my job but I didn’t know what to do yet. After month of thinking I heard about this 9 weeks training. I had never code before so I started training on Codecademy to see if I was into it and I immediately liked it. I decided to get in touch with former students at Le Wagon and other Bootcamp to gather their thoughts before jumping in. The feedbacks I had about Le Wagon were that the teacher and teaching methods were amazing and they had a great network, most of the people I had on the phone were actually hired by former students. Good teachers and a good network were the 2 quality I was looking for in a Bootcamp so I decided to join. I was not disappointed. The first thing they say when you arrive at Le Wagon is you need to trust the system which is kind of scary when you don’t know anything about coding. But it is so true. The teachers and assistant teachers are amazing. We spend everyday coding on exercices and projects that are perfectly thought. All the information we have to digest seems overwhelming at first but in the end the program is so well thought that your brain just remember everything. I never thought I’ll be able to code a web app in only 9 weeks and yet we all did it ! More than that Le Wagon is also an amazing human experience, that allow you to meet people from many different backgrounds.  Read less

 I did the Le Wagon Data Science bootcamp in Amsterdam and it was an amazing experience. In only 9 weeks the Bootcamp taught me all the necessary tools to work on my own projects and opened my horizon for more ideas.
During the whole course the teachers and assistants were helpful and patient with us students, I never felt left alone with my problems.
The lectures go deep enough into the mathematical theory to keep it challenging even with a technical background.
In the end of the bootcamp we worked on a final project that I can now present with pride during my job interviews.  Read less

Amazing how much Le Wagon takes you from the basics of programming to a complete application. I started from scratch and decided to make my career transition in 2019. After evaluating several bootcamps, I realized that Wagon's proposal and especially the results are differentials beyond the immersive methodology and decided to face this challenge in mid-2020 and in 2021 I started as a software developer. I completely recommend the experience of learning at the best Bootcamp in the world.

After reading a lot of good reviews about Le Wagon I decided to do my Full Stack Web Development Bootcamp with them and I have to say that it exceeded my expectations. Amazing teachers that are knowledgeable, helpful & friendly paired with a fast-paced learning experience and real-world examples make this Bootcamp a 10/10 for me. Read less

Before joining Le Wagon I had founded two software startups where I was the main product manager. Since I didn’t have the knowledge to code software by myself, I hired developers, and without a technical background it was sometimes hard to communicate with them. To be able to collaborate in depth with developers in my future projects, and because I was very interested in developing products that used artificial intelligence, I decided to join Le Wagon’s Data Science bootcamp. I had a very positive experience at Le Wagon, and I really liked that it was a very hands-on bootcamp where I learned a wide variety of topics in a short time; that I was given the tools to create and deploy a product that used AI algorithms; and that I got help from Teacher Assistants whenever I got stuck. Finally, I also enjoyed doing with my team our final project, which in our case was a software that used computer vision to detect rooftops and solar panels from satellite images in order to assess the solar potential of a geographic area. I am looking forward to continuing with this project.  Read less

In 2017 I left my home country and also my career in Fashion branding when I decided to move to Berlin. After 3 years working for a Berliner start-up I finally decided to learn coding and I had no doubts that Le Wagon was the best option.
Luckily my expectations were met, and even though I was a bit scared at the beginning (I think 99% of us are) I had a lot of support from the teachers and the TAs throughout all the process.

 I studied physics and wanted to work in research but I realized I lacked often demanded knowledge and experience in programming. That’s why I joined le wagon’s data science bootcamp which was not only a great way to get to know python as a programming language but also to learn how to use python to analyze and work with data. In just 7 weeks of well-structured lessons and exercises I came the long way from basic programming skills to being able to build a working application using a complex deep learning algorithm to analyze pictures and recognize objects in them!  I can wholeheartedly recommend joining the bootcamp because apart from it being a great learning opportunity you will also be able to meet a lot of great people in between both the students and the le wagon staff and you’ll get to be part of a very welcoming community where everyone is working towards a shared goal.  Read less

I was pretty bored in my job and I needed to be challenged that’s why I joined Le Wagon. This 9-week experience was super intense, you have to learn a lot and not everything makes sense at first but you have “to trust the process” ;)  You will be helped by amazing TA and teachers, and the program is made for anyone who is motivated and is ready to discover coding. It’s a big first dive into the programming world and doing it with other people that become your friends make it even better ! Read less

I always had interest in coding and during the quarantine I decided to change my career path to this way. I looked in the internet about what kind of education was the most effective and I found the bootcamp model. I searched the number one rated bootcamp in the world, LeWagon, and after this 9 weeks I need to say that my experience was the best I could imagine. It was really accurately planed for the students to have the best experience and I noticed that every single day of the bootcamp. I encourage all of you to apply for this program, I promise you won’t regret! Read less

Experience et équipe incroyable, je recommande a 100%!
On y apprend pas seulement le code mais comment travailler en équipe et construire un projet de A a Z, si vous êtes en reconversion et que vous vous sentez capable d'apprendre beaucoup de choses en peu de temps c'est la formation qu'il vous faut :) Read less

The BEST bootcamp EVER !
Que vous rêviez de devenir développeur, product manager ou encore entrepreneur, Le Wagon vous donnera les moyens de vos ambitions. Difficile de lister tous les points forts de ce Boot Camp tellement ils sont nombreux. Mais je dirais que les principaux sont sa pertinence pédagogique dont le contenu est remis à jour en permanence, des professeurs au top de leur art (oui oui le développeur est l'artisan du web), un esprit d'équipe sans égal. Bref, 9 semaines intenses mais le résultat en vaut la chandelle, je ne peux que le recommander!!!  Read less

Is it the Stockholm syndrome that makes us like the training so much because of its difficulty and intensity or because after just 9 weeks, we become aware of the skills we have acquired? Hmmmm.....

If at the beginning, I was looking for new skills to better assist my clients in their strategies, it is by discovering the field of data science during the batch #527 that I decided to retrain!

In only 9 weeks, under a fast pace, supervised by highly skilled professionals recognized by their peers, you will acquire all the necessary skills to work in data science.
The pedagogy by project accompanied in pairs (true signature of the Wagon) allows students to become very quickly autonomous on the various tasks that a Data Scientist can meet.

And of course, at the end of the training, you have 2 weeks to apply your new skills in a professional project (don't hesitate to go to the LeWagon YouTube channel to see the presentation and get a taste of what you'll be able to do soon).

The little extra, you will be able to take the state-recognized "Artificial Intelligence Developer" diploma at the end of the training.

If you also wish to add a string to your bow, after these 9 weeks, it is no longer a bow that you will have, but a semi-automatic weapon that adapts to all types of interventions and all types of targets.

The only regret you will have is that you did not do it earlier! Read less

I attended Le Wagon's Full-Stack Web Development Bootcamp from September 2020 - March 2021 in their Part-Time format. Genuinely, it changed my life for the better. I was skeptical of Le Wagon while doing Bootcamp research initially because their reviews were overwhelmingly positive. The staff including Paal at Le Wagon Melbourne did not push me to sign up. This was the first aspect of the course that I appreciated. There were no pushy sales tactics - it was an organic match. In terms of the course itself, the preparation was helpful before diving into the content. Yes, it was very difficult and frustrating at times, but what Bootcamp isn't going to be like that? The teachers were supportive and encouraging, the other students were mature and professional, unlike university, they wanted to be there and showed up every day putting their best foot forward. As such, it created an environment and culture of constant desire to learn and excel with my peers. I have made lifelong friends through the course, have the power to come up with an app idea and actually build it, and I have access to learning resources from Le Wagon for life. After the course finished, I immediately landed a role as a Front-End Developer Intern at a digital marketing agency. I loved the culture at Le Wagon so much that I wanted to continue helping out there, so became a Teacher Assistant as well. Ultimately, an opportunity opened up to work for Le Wagon, so I took that opportunity. While my current position may reflect a bias towards Le Wagon, I write this review as a graduate of the course and who endured Bootcamp hardship through lockdowns with my peers, not as a staff member.  Read less

Le Wagon m’a été recommandé par des amis, et c’est sans aucun doute la meilleure formation que j’ai fait!

• Le programme est très intense, et challengeant, mais surtout graduel et très bien pensé: en 9 semaines, on apprend à modéliser et développer notre application, et à travailler en équipe.
• Les professeurs sont excellents: à l’écoute, passionnés et très pédagogues (et surtout patient!).
• L’équipe et la direction sont extrêmement bien organisés, et ont réussi a créer une véritable communauté qui continue post Wagon!

Je ne pensais pas apprendre autant en si peu de temps!Je recommande vivement ce bootcamp à toutes les personnes motivées! Read less

Lors de la semaine de la data organisée par Pôle Emploi, j'ai pris connaissance du bootcamp de Le Wagon à Bordeaux auquel j'ai participé. Cette formation m'a donné tous les outils pratiques pour pouvoir faire mes premiers pas dans le domaine de la data-science. Il s'agit de 9 semaines de formation intenses et très motivantes. Le site de l'entreprise à Bordeaux est bien aménagé pour recevoir les élèves. Pendant la formation il y a plusieurs profs avec des formations variées qui sont toujours à l'écoute et très engagés avec leur travail. L'équipe est super bienveillante et propose des activités en dehors des cours (conférences, jeux de groupe, sorties) qui génèrent une ambiance amicale. Je recommande cette formation à 100%. Read less

I just completed (summer 2021) the data science bootcamp in Bordeaux. This was very intense but rewarding. The program - a mix of courses and practical sessions - is fairly extensive from python, machine learning including deep learning to deployment in real life systems. The staff is amazing and the team of teachers is awesome with practical experience in the field. A must do if you want to change career and embrace all aspects of data science. I strongly recommend :) Read less

J'ai eu la chance de participer au batch #594 du Wagon Bordeaux : ce bootcamp m'avait été recommandé par des pros pour l'évolution de carrière que je souhaitais. L'expérience a largement dépassée mes attentes. La pédagogie du Wagon est incroyablement efficace, challengeante mais ultra motivante. C'est très gratifiant de pouvoir créer ses premières applis après seulement 9 semaines d'apprentissage. L'équipe d'encadrement et les profs sont ultra à l'écoute. Et l'aventure continue après la formation: le Wagon c'est également une communauté soudée et bienveillante. Bref, je recommande totalement ! Read less

I finished the Data Science bootcamp #633 in Bordeaux (France). I loved this experience which allowed me to develop solid skills in this field. The program is extremely well built and intensive. The different speakers are of a great quality and are concerned about offering us a quality experience as well as helping us in our professional insertion. I highly recommend this training for anyone wishing to learn and develop knowledge in Data Science.

 I attended Le Wagon London Data Science Bootcamp London in Spring 2021 and would highly recommend it. My background is as an academic (Reader/Professor) in Earth Sciences, and I have been programming for most of my life. Since 2017 I was leading research that uses deep-learning, and I read a lot of resources on deep-learning and machine learning. But I always felt that reading alone was not enough, and I needed the space and the time to code and focus on this. Le Wagon offered this opportunity in a condensed format (2 months) which was perfect for my busy schedule! Even though I had some prior experience in machine learning, I learned a ton during my bootcamp. The course is fast pace but strikes just the right balance of new material and supportive exercises which means that beginners and more  advanced students can progress at their own pace and both get the most out of the experience. In my batch (the official Le Wagon name for a cohort), we were a few more experienced programmers and a lot of student completely new to programming or data science. In the end we all became capable and confident data scientists, no matter what our initial technical level was! The curriculum is very good and TA support is excellent. They have a nice ‘ticket’ system, i.e. you raise a ticket and you get an assigned TA to help you.  You are encouraged to raise tickets, and you always work in pairs so you can benefit from peer learning as well. I made a lot of friends coming from all walks of life during my bootcamp: one of the perks of being a student at a coding bootcamp is that not everyone has the same background as you, and so you learn a lot from each other. Our final project was a blast: we spent 2 weeks training a deep neural network to recognize satellite images (we had to pitch the project ourselves, so you can propose whatever you fancy!) and we made a website to deploy our model. After the bootcamp we also attended a Careers Week: I already have a job and was not looking for a new one, but I still learned a ton and Le Wagon really prepare their students well for the job market. Not to mention the impressive >11k alumni network that you have access to. So, in summary, I think attending Le Wagon Bootcamp was one of the best decisions I have made and would highly recommend it.

Hi, my name is Marta from batch #628 in Madrid and a few weeks ago I finished the Le Wagon bootcamp.  Before that I had only done some short online courses and my previous experience was in the field of humanities (history and archeology).  Doing the bootcamp has been one of the best experiences I had.  It is difficult and demanding, and sometimes you feel that you will not be able to finish it, but there is always the people of Le Wagon behind you to help you in the difficult moments. Besides you share that feeling with the rest of the students, so you also lean on them which increment the sense of community.  The staff, teachers and facilities are also a highlight.  They care very much that your experience there is pleasant and anything you need you can ask for. I highly recoment the bootcamp :) Read less
