Le Wagon

My experience in the bootcamp was more than I could have expected. It started a bit scary and overwhelming in the first weeks but once time passed and programming and ruby notions were quickly building up in my head, it became more and more fun. The more I learned, the more possibilities I could envision. Honestly, I didn't think that I could learn how to build a fully functional web app in 9 weeks, but hey! it did happen!
Also, what really made the bootcamp for me, was the people involved - teachers, the driver, and all the other students. Its much easier to learn when everyone is heading in the same direction.
Learning to collaborate is a very important step, and the final weeks of the bootcamp are all about collaboration. I saw 10 amazing final projects built from 27 students in 2 weeks and I felt happy and proud of everyone!
My final project was a Facebook Messenger Bot that can pretty much work as a receptionist for a small hotels/hostels. And yes, in two weeks, my group figured out how to actually make it work
The feeling that stuck with me after finishing the bootcamp was that now I have the freedom and the tools to build anything I want and that feels really good! I loved it, definitely recommend it and wish I could do it again

I graduated in 2013 from a business school with a specialisation in finance, then worked for 3 years in startups before joining Le Wagon's Fullstack program.

Being immersed in this tech environment and following the latest news on startups, certainly got me curious - but how do they do it? - and I slowly gained interest in code. I first tried to learn a bit by myself thanks to online resources. The problem was that learning code on and off through 1-hour lessons on my free-time turned out to be very difficult.

I heard about Le Wagon a bit more than a year ago from an alumni and I instantly found the format was pretty suited to my needs. Learning a language and being operational in 9 weeks, it's magical. Quickly, I felt like I wanted to be able to understand this completely foreign language and I realised as well that it would be a tremendous asset the day I would decide to start a company on my own - one day - I applied right when I got the opportunity to do it.

Yes, the bootcamp is truly demanding, but the methodology so efficient: theoretical classes - not too long to keep students' attention - followed by practical exercices to do in pairs, with a different buddy everyday. Classes allow to tackle basics and exercices to quickly assimilate them, pair-programming encourages socializing but also enables to improve faster by facing the questions of others.

The last few weeks are dedicated to the development, in groups, of web applications that are pitched by the students. It is the opportunity to put into practice everything that has been previously learnt in smaller modules.

And the result is... stunning, we built from scratch real web-applications that are fully functional, in no more than 2 weeks. I am very impressed by the speed at which we learnt all that, but also very proud of our project.
During the bootcamp, I also realised all the possibilities that are brought by these new skills, and I know that they'll be useful in any type of job.

As a whole, these 9 weeks are an amazing experience, I learnt a lot, met great people and found new professional opportunities.

After graduating from my business school, I've decided to start an entrepreneurial experience with one of my friends. We've paid a web development company to create our web platform and tried to sell it to our target. For many reasons, this company has never been close to be successful and several frustrations occured during this experience. Nevertheless one frustration was bigger than the others : our inability to update/fix/improve our website by ourselves. We've obviously tried to learn alone but it was never sufficient enough to make significant modifications on our website. A few weeks after the end of this experience, I was at the HQ of Le Wagon in Paris for my 1st day of the Fullstack Program.

Le Wagon was the best answer to this frustration. After 9 intense weeks of learning with excellent teachers, I can (proudly) say that I have now enough knowledge to avoid facing this frustration again and to be able to create by myself a solid MVP. The best thing about this program is the well thought-out educational content. It makes you understand in only a few weeks, some of the hardest concepts of web development. Le Wagon has also an amazing worldwide community of teachers and alumni, ready to help you even after the bootcamp. For all of those reasons, I'll highly recommend that you enroll in the FullStack program without hesitation.

My history with Le Wagon began e few years ago, I had just presented an IT recruiting system at a Ruby meetup in Paris and chance had it that someone from Le Wagon came to this same event to present their Bootcamp. The idea of learning to code started to sprout - but with a 9 to 5 job it would not be easy to find the time for a two months full-time bootcamp.

Some springs later, destiny (or rather my wife) made me move to São Paulo. So I quit my job and started learning Portuguese. Once again, destiny made things right when I heard that Le Wagon had just launched their bootcamp in São Paulo. This time I had the available time and I jumped on the opportunity to apply to their next batch. 

It started with an interview with the person in charge (Mathieu Le Roux), I felt lucky that he happened to be French since my "portuñol" was not that great. We talked about my motivations, in my case I had been working with digital for the past 6 years. I had a multitask profile: product launch, marketing, product management, acquisition strategies, mobile apps... but always felt frustrated for not being able to master 100% of the product chain. The interview went well, I just needed to complete an online course so that my application would be valid. 

One month later the bootcamp started and I felt the first week was really tough. Lots of new concepts everyday had me come home every night with some heavy headaches. It's only after the third week that I felt things became clearer to me, just when we actually connect all the concepts to concrete practical applications. From then on, things started to feel more natural and automatic. After that we had a few more weeks to learn Front End, which for me was easier since I had already created some sites using HTML and CSS. 

And finally, the two best weeks: the final project. Our small group of 4 people wanted to create a recruiting site targeted to developers, with a matching algorithm to find the best profile for each job offer. The team was extra motivated and we worked everyday up to 10pm. It was feature after feature: anonym and public profiles, search engine, matching algorithm, online payment, admin interface, responsiveness...  

The last day finally arrived and it was the moment to demo our product: programathor.com.br. Even though I had improved my Portuguese during these two months, pitching the project myself was still a little bit out of reach. So Julien and Leandro got the responsibility to demo the project, and they brilliantly did! Check out the video!

After Le Wagon I am still considering launching ProgramaThor as a proper business in Brazil and keep improving the platform so I don't forget what I've learned. I'm impressed and proud of what we have accomplished in only two weeks and of what I feel capable of doing after only two months.

LeWagon bootcamp exceeded all of my expectations, not only due to the new skills I got out of it, but also to the people I was surrounded with and the endless opportunities it created for me. 

For the past few years, I had been evolving in the tech/startup industry, working with developers, and also trying to build several digital projects on the side. However, I had always felt limited by not knowing anything about coding. 
Joining LeWagon finally enabled me to get rid of that growing frustration and empowered me to work more efficiently with developers, to better manage digital projects now considering them also from a technical point of view, and to build my own digital projects.

LeWagon’s methodology is perfectly designed and well rhythmed  for people with no prior coding knowledge. The outstanding teaching staff is constantly sharing tips and the best practices they gained from years of experience which gives a lot of hindsight and help better understand what you are learning. On top of that, LeWagon gives you all the tools and resources you need to keep learning autonomously and improve your coding skills in the long-run.

Last but not least, LeWagon is also a strong community of creative and entrepreneur-minded people driven by the pay-it-forward mentality that it’s just awesome to be part of.

In a nutshell, whether you are in digital, you want to be able to build your own projects, or you are currently working with developers, this bootcamp is for you :)

I completed the Data Analytics bootcamp at Le Wagon Lyon in 2026, after several years in a completely different field. My goal: transition into data-related roles (Data Analyst, BI Analyst, People Analyst).

What convinced me to apply was the program's reputation and its "learn by doing" philosophy. On that front, it fully delivers. In just a few weeks, I went from zero to working with SQL, Python, BigQuery, Looker Studio, Power BI , etc. — and more importantly, I learned how to actually think with data.

What worked really well:
- Passionate, talented lecturers who consistently ground technical concepts in real business contexts. Several of them have a rare gift for making complex topics genuinely accessible.
- A well-structured curriculum that ramps up progressively without losing beginners along the way.
- An outstanding learner community — real solidarity, mutual support, and a diverse mix of profiles that make the experience richer.
- A welcoming Lyon staff and pleasant facilities that make the intensity of the bootcamp more manageable.

It's a demanding, human, and genuinely transformative experience. I highly recommend it to anyone considering a career shift into data — as long as you're ready to go all in. Read less

I am very satisfied with my experience. The training was well structured, with a clear and logical progression between the different modules. The teachers were competent and motivated, and LeWagon Montreal staff was extremely helpful and professional
The pace was fast, and the amount of information was huge, but I was warned and aware of it beforehand. No pain, no gain ! Read less

The experience was excellent. I knew people who had completed the bootcamp a few years ago, so I had a good idea of what to expect, and it definitely lived up to my expectations.
What I enjoyed most was the buddy system—we were able to support each other whenever we got stuck on a challenge.
The Montréal staff is amazing: everyone was welcoming and friendly. As a part-time student, I didn’t get to spend as much time with them as I would have liked, which is my only regret. Read less

I have enjoyed my time at LeWagon Montreal so much. Even though the program was tough, the learning materials and teachers and everything else made it just the more enjoyable.
The Atmosphere at LeWagon and the networking you do during the bootcamp are really helpful to even broaden your horizon more.
I would have loved to attend the other two Bootcamps as well. Read less

Staff and students were all super helpful and generous with their time. All around an amazing atmosphere for learning and growing. I picked this bootcamp because it was the only in-person bootcamp in my city and it was definitely the right choice for me. The hardest part was the last module where the instructor was online.
