Le Wagon

I find Le Wagon bootcamp to be the perfect format to get up to speed on data science in a limited time.
The technologies used are technically and professionally relevant. 
The courses as well as the exercises are full of good practices that will help you in your professional beginnings!
On top of that, the atmosphere and the community spirit is really great :) Read less

The first day I step in Le Wagon Lisbon I could feel their passion. Le Wagon Lisbon crew is absolutely amazing! Ana, Miguel, Pedro, Chiara all TA's 10/10 ❤️.
Le Wagon provides more than just code training. You acquire the mindset of a developer 🤓 and a work methodology. I really feel empowered and ready to start a new chapter in my career. The bootcamp material is great, classes, live-codes everything work very well. 
I used to read the reviews and I thought maybe they were a little bit exaggerated, but they are not. I truly recommend Le Wagon 🔟 / 🔟  to anyone wanting to develop new skills, change careers or be able to build a product on their own.
Just Go! 👨🏻‍💻 Read less

The wagon was a great experience, I arrived with no experience in code and I left with very good skills that allowed me to move towards creative development.
I made very nice meetings with both teachers and students.
If I had to do it again, I would do it with my eyes closed. Read less

Doing the Web Development course this summer was an amazing experience. I come from an artistic background and didn't know much about coding. In 2 months, I'm amazed of what I'm capable of achieving now. The atmosphere there is great, very genuine and positive. The team is splendid, very helpful and dedicated. I strongly recommend to take the leap and start the coding journey at Le Wagon! It's a great experience , coding wise and human wise.  Read less

All the staff, curriculum, installations and methodology is on point.
From the beginning they motivate us and tell us which path to follow according to facts and personal experiences.
Very comfortable environment, many time they try to makes us relaxed with yoga activities, ice breaker challenges so we can know more about each other, etc. I would strongly recommend it to friends and family. Read less

The Le Wagon experience was exceptional both educationally and humanely. Personally, I started the bootcamp with very little acquired code, and I was struck by the amount of things learned and mastered at the end of these 9 weeks. The teachers are very pedagogical, present and the assistant teachers are a great help. I found the perfect balance between teaching and practice. It really helps you get up to speed quickly with the information learned. What also helps enormously is the "family" atmosphere of the bootcamp, everyone works together and helps each other on problems, it's very rewarding. Taken together, I highly recommend this bootcamp for beginners but also those who already have coding experience, everyone finds something enriching for their background.  Read less

When they say "change your life learn to code" they are right. 
With Le Wagon in 9 weeks we made the impossible. No one knew anything about the code, but, from terminal to website on a real URL, you will learn from A to Z what you need to know in order to build a website, with users, with calendar etc... 
how is a day at le wagon?
Morning: a lecture with a Teacher. During the day, the teacher assisted by teachers assistants are present to help you at anytime. And all you have to do is coding all day long. again and again... it will be painfull! But it worth it!
At the end of the day, a live code. Someone in front of you will code something. 
Nice work...day is over...you'll have to do some flashcard to remember what you learnt...and next day go back to the area!

At the end of every batch you will have a nice project from your choice to present in front of people and online on twitch during a pitch session. Everything is possible! just choose!
No worries for shy people. You are 4 buddys (that's how you will call your teammates) on the same project and only one of them will pitch. 
Like that you will learn to code as a real team with Git Hub.
Every day you will have a teammate with who you will progress, and if you need help, just clic on "ticket" and a teacher will come to save you and explain you again until you understand every concept.
More of that, Le Wagon, was a great human journey for all of us. 
If i had to do it again...just tell me where i have to sign!


the way to learn is the good way i think. Quick, regular, and progressive.


i do not have anything against Le Wagon. They did a really good work in only 9 weeks. And more than it with still have a connection with all the alumni around the worlk thanks to a slack with 16 000 connections. Read less

The 6 months were very intense, but you never feel lost. Although at a distance you never feel alone. Very clear and well done courses. Guided exercises where you learn and progress with each session. You don't learn stupidly but everything is explained to you so that you understand what's going on under the hood. And finally a great team of teachers who, while teaching us, maintain a great atmosphere.

It's an intensive but very interesting bootcamp, thanks to the schedule: lessons in the morning, then practice hand-in-hand with a classmate, different every day, supported by teacher assistants. 
The atmosphere was also nice, with different activities organized by the team of Le Wagon. The teachers are patient and interesting as well.
I strongly recommend this bootcamp, whatever your goal is. Read less

An intense but well-structured bootcamp. I learned so much during these 9 weeks, from Ruby, to OOP, Database, Front-end and much more. I was impressed with how advanced was our final project. I couldn't have imagined building this when I started. Not only that, but I also found an amazing community of students and teachers and lifetime friends.
I strongly recommend Le Wagon, if you already know you'll love full stack development. Gotta be a bit prepared 🥰 Read less

The experience at Le Wagon was super nice. The people are friendly, and the atmosphere there was also perfect for learning. I really liked the group work and the live code sessions in the afternoon. I would always do it again and would not choose another bootcamp than Le Wagon. Read less

In my opinion, joining a Le Wagon Bootcamp is the best decision someone can make if you're looking for some kind of career change.
Everything was right on spot from the Bootcamp intensity to the staff that lectures and also the TAs.
The buddy system was definitely one of my favorite functionalities, especially so I could connect with all of my new class colleagues. Read less

I really enjoyed my time at Le Wagon Bali. To say it is life-changing is probably an understatement. I loved every bit of it. Let me first say that this review is uniquely my perspective. Each person may have different experiences, so this one is personally mine. 

I was a little hesitant at first when I saw that they were teaching Ruby as the backend language; industry-wise it's not the most popular anymore. But then I watched a YouTube video of some alumni being interviewed, and he explained why Le Wagon uses Ruby. And what convinced me was that Ruby is a great language if you want to start your own startup, and that's what I wanted most. I'm happy to say that it really satisfied what I am looking for, and as I embark on my entrepreneurial journey I will be utilizing Ruby as my main backend language to start with. 

I picked Bali because it was the closest to home. I'm an Indonesian from Jakarta and, initially, I considered Singapore and Tokyo as the destination. However, those countries at that time were still closed to tourists, and getting a student visa was not something the boot camp could help with. So Bali was the obvious choice as I also loved the island. But what came with it was more than I expected. I was in a batch of 13 students, mostly Europeans, and it was the best two months I'd had in a while. I made new friends from all over the world and I gained a valuable skill that will change my career trajectory. An alumnus from the previous batch mentioned that Bali is probably the most international campus out of the 45 cities, and I can fully endorse that. If you're looking to make new friends from around the world while also learning to code (and also enjoying Bali life), then this location is for you.

The lectures and curriculum were great overall. I come from a no-coding background and so this is completely new to me. Luckily, I managed to hold on to being in the middle of the class. It wasn't easy; every day felt long as you learn something new whilst still trying to absorb what you learned the day before. Thankfully, the teachers were amazing. They really know their materials and are quite experienced developers themselves. They knew how to debug and problem-solve when we students struggled.  They were super friendly and caring about our progress. Overall, four big thumbs up to the teaching staff. 

I couldn't believe that at the end of the program, I built two different fully-functioning apps. During the weeks building up to project week, I was not confident in being able to achieve that. But with the help of the teachers, my team and I were able to pull it through. I still have much to learn, but I am happy that I went through it. The whole experience really condensed what it's like to be a developer in the real workplace. 

I think this program is for those who are seriously considering the developer or even entrepreneurial path. The program is tough, but at the beginning of the boot camp, the teachers say, "trust the process", and I think that it's true. Trust the process, don't doubt yourself, and you'll be able to complete the program.  Read less

Definitely the best learning experience I had, the curriculum is so well structured, the learning environment, teachers, classmates were all so good and supporting of each other. The bootcamp is really intense but manageable, it pushes you to work hard everyday, but with the buddy system, and all the teachers support it was a fun learning experience. Read less

I applied to Le Wagon data science bootcamp in Amsterdam after feeling like I was stagnating in my current position and wanted a change of career in a field I had always been passionate about. This was one of the best decisions I ever took. The amount of learning that I was able to gain in only a few months was invaluable and is a testament to the quality and robustness of the Le Wagon school.  Working through challenges all day and coding non stop, always under supervision of a teacher assistant and peer work system, meant that progress in the classroom was uniform between all students despite the fact that some may had started with more or less coding foundations. This also added to the atmosphere in the classroom where all students were eager to learn and push themselves which made it a very motivating and encouraging setting. The staff at Le Wagon was friendly and always willing to help answering questions about the bootcamp, careers etc.. and they did not shy away from interacting with the students which gave really strong community vibes knowing that we are all in this together,  which was a big selling point for me.
Overall, I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to go on a career change or get their foot in the data science door. It will leave you with all the skills required to strive in this field and a community of like minded individuals to collaborate with and go on this journey together.  Read less

In professional retraining, I did the Wagon Bordeaux Web Development training in April-June 2022 and the least we can say is that it exceeded my expectations. The quality of the courses and the teachers, an automated exercise process, the support of the assistants, the system of pairs,…, everything is done to progress quickly. Even if it was intense, I had 9 weeks of real pleasure. Once certified, you are not alone either: regular monitoring of your situation, an effective network allows you to quickly find the job that is right for you. In short, I recommend 200%. Read less

I graduated from the part-time program, and it was the best learning experience I have ever had! 
It was intense to do the bootcamp while working, but I enjoyed every minute of it. Every step of the program is well thought out from start to finish. The teaching approach, which focuses on practice, gave me a great sense of achievement and the confidence to keep learning. 
Here’s what I enjoyed the most about Le Wagon: 

1. The curriculum. The way we learned coding and the order concepts were introduced is very well thought out. Everything came together nicely when we got to Ruby on Rails and project weeks. The Rails week was probably my favorite one. It all became concrete, and building a web app per session was the best way to practice what we had learned so far.
2. The teaching team. I'm amazed at how Le Wagon brought so many passionate people together! The teachers and TAs have done an amazing job creating a friendly environment while challenging and pushing us to deliver our best.
3. A welcoming, diverse environment. Le Wagon students come from diverse backgrounds, making the experience even more interesting. We had beers every Saturday after class which was really nice! 
4. I learned how to learn. During the program, I learned plenty of tools and some programming languages. But, more importantly, I learned how to search for solutions and read the documentation. Now, I feel autonomous and capable of continuing my journey into exploring web development :) 

To sum up, don’t overthink it. Do it!  Read less

It is a good bootcamp, but it is very expensive. I was lucky to find a good job as soon as I finished, but it was a bit difficult for other classmates. The topics were seen in a very intensive way, I managed to understand them easily because of my previous knowledge, without that knowledge it would have cost me more than normal. The good thing is that they have a good ticket system where you can solve any doubts you may have. Although not all the teachers are the best trained. Read less
