Le Wagon

I am a YouTuber based in South Korea and Japan, and I came to London to do a master’s degree in Media and Communication to expand my expertise not only in the Media industry and also in intersectional feminism/racism. While I was doing my master's, I conducted a quantitative research (youtube comments analysis), using methods such as data cleaning and word cloud. I found coding/data analysis super intriguing and that’s when I found Le wagon data science boot camp!As I’m not a native speaker, it was already challenging to learn Data science in English but TAs and batch managers were always willing to help and it really encouraged me tremendously. If the course and teachers were overwhelming, I might have dropped out in a week (not joking)😂 Love how supportive they were in every way💕Plus, even though I’m quite an outgoing person, it’s been such a difficult thing to broaden my network in another country! 😭But thanks to Le Wagon buddy system, it was great to know other classmates!! Everyone has a different backgrounds and as I’m interested in diversity and intersectionality, it was just so amazing to connect with them. When I struggled with challenges, amazing buddies helped me and once we solved it, we felt the rewarding moment together! How fantastic!!I truly recommend Le Wagon Data Science bootcamp to those who doubt if they can make it, or are still quite afraid as they don’t have any background in this field. Even a person like me, who has ZERO background in tech or data, made it! 💪 I can proudly say it was one of the most worthwhile decisions I’ve ever made. Read less

I was fed up in my previous role so decided to take the plunge and kick start my career transition with Le Wagon. I have no regrets. The course material and the teachers are amazing. You can be sure that the students are all there for similar reasons and nobody is there for a free ride. Ultimately you get out what you put in. I have made many connections through Le Wagon and leave feeling incredibly confident to begin my new journey. Read less

Have you had or are you having your first contact with the world of programming? If so, I recommend you contact Le Wagon to improve and learn the skills you need to enter the job market. 
Full-time dedication is needed, completing the pre-course is more than recommended to successfully complete the programme and if you can dedicate some extra time before starting to have a first contact with basic structures and exercises, it would be amazing.
Working with different classmates and different teachers makes learning very dynamic. A lot of hours are spent on the backend, which is usually a bit more difficult to understand on your own and is very much appreciated. Topics are covered and we were provided with content that will be useful after the bootcamp.

I started le wagon web development bootcamp with zero knowledge about programming. At first I was apprehensive, but as soon as the first day of the bootcamp started this feeling started to slowly go away. All the teachers, teacher assistants and the whole staff in general were very kind and friendly, it never felt so great to wake up early to study haha. The bootcamp is very intensive and their method of teaching is unique. I made friends that I'm taking for the rest of my life and had great experiences that I will never forget.
After the 9 weeks of bootcamp, we had a career guidance week that helped a lot to give me a place from where to start looking for jobs and tips about what recruiters are seeking for. One month later, I got my first "yes" and now I'm working as a Back-end Developer! I never could imagine that in such short time my life could change, but it did! I am very thankful for all of the staff and friends that I made during the course that took part in this. #BATCH898  Read less

It was a amazing experience. By far the most nice place i ever studied.
The crew was amazing, the school has a amazing structure.
The tools they provide us is very complete, and they still give us full support even after we finish the course.
I recommend the school to all my friends and family! Read less

I attended Le Wagon in the summer of 2022. During  the bootcamp we learnt a lot of Data Science relevant skills and MLOps skills. The atmosphere during the bootcamp was inspiring  and amazing. Le Wagon also provides pre Bootcamp help to ease your journey during the bootcamp and help you get the most out of it. They also provide post Bootcamp help to help you with your career journey after the Bootcamp. Overall wonderful experience made possible by the teaching and adminstration staff. Read less

LeWagon has given me more than I had hoped for not only did I learn how to code, I learned how to take in information at a faster and more efficient rate. The daily challenges were exactly what was needed to excel and further understand the concepts of programming while using the knowledge acquired from previous lectures. The environment is really friendly and relaxed which was a valuable key as it helped ease everyone’s experience in learning such an intimidating skill. The LeWagon experience goes beyond the bootcamp as once you’re done, you will join the community as an alumni and always have access to the facilities and lectures. I am now ready to start my new chapter in my career as now I have confidence in back-end and front-end languages and an extra bonus skill which is pitching a project along with collaborating with a team!

It all started when I was 15 years old. A super criative teenager, in love with creation and innovation, good abilities on computer and techonology itself. I started a course about website creation, using ASP.net but at the time I was so young to understand how to make money with it and life took another path. The love to work with projects and creative ideas remained for years and walked side by side while I was a salesman. I worked for 12 years in the commercial department and learned a lot on how to deal with people and everyday problems, closing good deals and understanding more about customer relationship. In the middle of the pandemic I really looked into my carreer and despite of being a good salesman, I really didn't see a future for what I was doing and thought about my great passion of working with projects and solving real problems with innovation. So I started talking to my friends and my cousin told my about Le Wagon and the experience that he had, the job opportunities he was receiving and it motivated me to look into it. I confess being nervous at the very beginning since I was putting aside 12 years of carreer to start over again. But it was worth it every moment. Le Wagon has a method of learning that puts you to code all day long and the interaction with other students makes all the difference. I could share my difficulties to learn and my solutions to help others. As time goes by I started to realize how much things were making sense in the bootcamp. So after learning about the stacks, database and some tools to work for a full application, I had the chance to work with a group for 2 complete projects and that was a real challenge. We had to plan, think about the design, the patterns and how we aspect the platform to behave. It was amazing and we definitely had support for this, which made all the difference. All these interactions and the materials to learn made the bootcamp at Le Wagon so special and unique. Not mentioning the network with devs and friends that keeps us in touch to this day. Now I'm a Full-Stack Web Developer and really enjoying this new life with challenging projects and the chance to put my ideas to help solving real life problems. Read less

It was such a challenging but rewarding time. I learned a lot. It also felt like becoming part of a little family here in Rio.
I think anyone who is seriously thinking of breaking into tech this is a great opportunity. If you're serious about being a programmer, in my opinion it would help a lot though to have some prior knowledge. Read less

I enrolled in the full-time Web Development bootcamp in January 2022 at Le Wagon’s Sao Paulo school. At first I was a bit insecure because I have spent the last 15 years working as a movie editor and creative director and for years thought about a career transition. But since the very first moment I felt welcome and secure to share my insecurities and doubts.Even though the course is very intense (and sometimes overwhelming), teachers, assistants and colleagues were always there to pick me up and help me. The mantra “Trust the methodology” is absolutely true: everyday you’re constantly using what you have previously learned. That way, you end up having a solid base to develop your knowledge, even if you don’t have any programming previous knowledge. The methodology of working in pairs or groups really gives you a sense of companionship and prepares you to real live jobs, building a sense of collaboration and constant communication. 
After you finish the bootcamp you have lifetime access to the platform with all the lessons and a session to be in touch with students from Le Wagon all around the world. There, you can ask for help, share knowledge and there are tons of ex-students sharing job opportunities. I thought that I was only going to learn how to code but the sense of community that Le Wagon have really makes me feel like I belong, even now, 6 months after finishing the bootcamp. I even go there from time to time to spend the day working and clearing doubts with the teachers and friends I made there. It was, without doubt, the best experience I have ever had.  Read less

I did Le Wagon in Paris this spring 2022. It was a very intense, yet rewarding experience. Le Wagon gives you the opportunity to strongly grasp web development (back & front) and product management concepts. Mornings are for the lectures with skilled (and patient) teachers, and afternoons filled with exercises on the topic. Whether it be for exercises or end projects, the bootcamp forces you to meet and collectively work with your pairs. That's a great introduction to team work in companies. So overall, go for it if you want to learn web dev concepts (if you're into product, or want to start your business). If you want to switch to a dev career, this gives you a strong basis on which to build upon. Read less

I have a wonderful memory of this summer! Nice atmosphere with a great team of teachers and assistants, and of course with so many nice classmates! All is well organized and the curriculum is well designed with a big part of practice which is helpful to further understand the subject. Read less

Simply one of the best courses I have taken this summer 2022 in a well organised virtual environment (Zoom, Ubuntu, VS Code, Jupyter Notebook) and online platform (GitHub, Ubuntu), with experienced, dynamic, patient, and available international teachers to help you with the challenges offered every day. A fulfilling and caring atmosphere that pushes you to do your best and collaborate in an international environment with students from all over the world.The programme is extensive and includes coding on Python, data sourcing (SQL, API, CSV, web scrapping), data visualisation, data analysis, mathematics, decision science, data science (machine learning with unsupervised learning, NLP, time series, deep learning), even a short data engineering section (Train at Scale, Cloud Training, Predict in Production, User Interface), and of course a final real data science project to create and learn how to collaborate with the different specific skills of teammates. A Career Week is also offered to support, encourage, and help us to create a CV, a portfolio, and an attractive Linkedin Profile, with lots of job meetings to prepare proposed.The pace is very intense and requires good preparation in Python coding, algebra, statistics and the virtual environment, offered by the bootcamp a few weeks before the start of the course.

I've studied in respected institutions in Brazil and Europe throughout my academic and professional life. So I can assure you that you can't go wrong on Le Wagon. This Bootcamp was the best course I have ever done. It's organized, clear, effective, and right to the point. Le Wagon is not expensive because it is worth every dime, it's an investment. You don't simply learn how to code, you learn the developer's workflow and how to work in a team. You gain not just coding knowledge but professional skills. The material is excellent and you have unlimited access to it. The teachers and classes are great and you have full support the whole time. Their methodology takes you beyond your expectations. The environment they create makes you miss them after you finish the Bootcamp. It's amazing! And if still think these are not enough, you can also count on their alumni network. It's all over the world! So if you want to change your career or just want to start coding don't think twice. It can be a game changer in your life. Read less

I did the Le Wagon - Web Development full-time bootcamp which is 9 weeks. The Instructors were amazing at explaining the curriculum in a clear concise(frequently down-to-earth) way. The curriculum is packed with information but is broken down in a way that I felt was understandable and relatively easy to follow. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone that is trying to break into the programming industry.  Read less

My experience at Le Wagon was simply the best both human and learning experience I have ever had. The teachers and TA's are amazing, they really give the best of themselves to help us go through it all and become developers. After a while they really feel like family.
The program is really well designed, in such a way that even a total beginner, if he is willing to go through all the steps, can become a junior developer in 9 weeks of intensive training.
I am very grateful to Le Wagon, they helped me find my way and I couldn't be happier for going through the programm. So if you feel like you want to become a developer, don't hesiatet, that's the place you want to go!  Read less

Over the past few years I have completed a number of courses (mainly for my previous career as a language teacher), but none have had the quality that Le Wagon offers and taught me so much in such a short time.

My experience with Le Wagon's remote course was worth every penny, without a shadow of a doubt. Although it was online, I can’t imagine having a better syllabus with more supportive and knowledgeable staff. The highlight was the collaborative nature of the programme. Every day, we had a buddy with whom we could discuss the days challenges, and during the final three weeks, we built two projects in a team of four. This is what makes Le Wagon unique. 
The teachers and teaching assistants were brilliant. They were very knowledgeable, encouraging and made the lessons fun and engaging, and ensured that everyone was keeping up with the pace. For those who struggled in the first few weeks, they did a great job of giving them extra help. As a previous teacher myself, I can definitely say that they genuinely care about their students' success and know what they're doing. 
 
Whereas some other bootcamps guarantee a job at the end of the programme, I have no doubt that Le Wagon was the best way to prepare me for a career in web development. I am confident that I have skills necessary to get a junior position, and after one week, I have already been offered a temporary internship. 

Finally, it was so much fun (especially the coding tournaments!) and I met some amazing people who I'm sure I will stay in touch with. Le Wagon is great at building a community, which people stay a part of way after the end of the bootcamp.  Read less

For everyone who wants to take Data Science course - it really worth your money. BUT always remember - there's no magic. No-one will magically put all the information to your head or find you a job immediately! It's a big misconception. Signing up to the course you will not buy knowledge. So, you have to still study and work! It's all up to you! Be serious about it. 

About Le Wagon: the course is really well structured and very nice. Covered most of the topics I did not expect (I had some experience in D.S already but Le Wagon really did a good job to impress me beyond my imagination).    Read less

I decided to join the Le Wagon data science bootcamp due to the good reviews they had, and I was not disappointed, the system is great for learning in general, and specifically learning everything you need for the field, when stuck, the TAs are incredible helping you figure out your issue or explaining what you don't understand, the bootcamp is exhausting but very rewarding in the end.  Read less

I am not going to lie, was intense, you need to be really motivate to go through, but the experience has been great, and the level you acquire in just three months is unbelievable, I completely recommend for those who are looking for going into data science but don't know how. Really well structure, and they give you the tools to keep improving your skills after the bootcamp.  Read less
