Le Wagon

I come from a business background and have worked primarily in strategy consulting and finance roles across asset management, management consulting and Tech companies. As I was preparing for my entrepreneurial journey as the next step, I wanted to learn coding to gain some technical skills.  Among the options I’ve explored, I chose Le Wagon mainly due to strong recommendations from my friends who already went through Le Wagon. 

It was a such an eye-opening experience. 9 week course felt like a big time investment initially, but I’m so glad I took this course at Le Wagon Singapore.

The course is intense and fast-paced as expected, especially given I had almost zero coding background. The first week was particularly tough but I soon found the right rhythm thanks to fantastic course materials, learning infrastructure and most all, amazing teachers and Le Wagon staffs. I found the course format to be effective. A daily class started with 1-2 hours of lecture but the rest of day was for solving coding challenges and/or live-coding with a teacher. 

The final project was one of highlights of the course. It allowed me to translate my learnings into building an actual product - from designing database structure, user journey, prototype to pushing the product on server. I also worked in a fantastic team of 4 and I learned how to work in a team using different collaboration tools (eg Github) and project management processes (eg Scrum). 

Overall, the course taught me the concepts of programming and how to apply them to solve problems. Gaining technical knowledge was one, but what was more meaningful includes:
- i) it lowered my psychological barrier for coding (coding used to feel like one giant mystery for me prior to Le Wagon)
- ii) building something from scratch felt very empowering
- iii) learning how to work as a team for building a tech product which required a different way of working vs collaborating for a strategy consulting project

I would highly recommend Le Wagon to anyone who’s exploring a coding bootcamp to join, and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat :) Read less

The course is wonderful in many ways, the structure of the school is very good, the staff is super helpful and always made us feel at home, the teachers are wonderful, they teach the subjects very well and the way everything is taught, the exercises, made it all worthwhile in the end Read less

Amazing experience. The bootcamp took us from an early starting point (unlike Web Development, the bootcamp has some requirements in basic python and maths) to capable professionals in 9 weeks. The system, based on a short theory introduction and a full day of coding and challenges, works wonders in building confidence, and makes learning the concepts natural. Would highly recommend.

I recently completed the Le Wagon Web Development Bootcamp and it was an incredible experience. After several years working as a Landscape Architect but always with a strong passion for technologies I want to give it a try and make a career change that could allow me to work remotely and still be creative. I had been trying to teach myself coding for a while but found it difficult to know where to start and  after some research I decided to go for Le Wagon. It was one of the best decisions of my life.

The bootcamp is intense and immersive, and it is important to be fully committed to the program. The curriculum includes Ruby, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and other web development concepts, and the program is fully structured with access to a wealth of resources. The teachers are all passionate and dedicated, and most of them have completed the bootcamp themselves, so they understand the challenges students face. They are always available to help and go above and beyond to support their students.

One of the most impressive aspects of the bootcamp is the final project, where we were able to build a website from scratch. At the end of the 9 weeks, I felt confident in my ability to create a product on my own. The Le Wagon community is also incredibly supportive, with access to alumni and a dedicated community even after graduation.

I highly recommend this bootcamp to anyone looking to develop new skills, change careers, or build a product on their own. Read less

Le Wagon bootcamp in Rio is a great option for anyone looking to learn coding. As a beginner and not a math-oriented person, I had some concerns about my abilities, but the instructors were patient and supportive, and I quickly found myself enjoying coding. The curriculum was comprehensive and the hands-on approach made it easy to understand and apply what I was learning. Furthermore, the job placement assistance was extremely helpful, and I was able to secure a job easily after completing the bootcamp. Overall, I highly recommend Le Wagon to anyone interested in starting a career in coding. Read less

Since day one I felt supported from all the Le Wagon staff members! I've learned A LOT during this 9-weeks of coding bootcamp. I will cherish for the rest of my life this experience because I made the decition to apply for this Web Development bootcamp in a very stagnat phase of my professional life and this bootcamp has given me tools (from learning resources to a vast alumni community network) to create a more creative professional life. Whenever I have the opportunity I will recommend Le Wagon! Read less

I recently completed Le Wagon's data science bootcamp, a 10-week immersive learning experience that transformed my career. I had previously worked as a private equity research analyst. Still, after realizing that much of the research could be automated, I became interested in data-driven solutions and decided to switch careers. I chose Le Wagon because of its firm establishment date and a large network of alumni and I was impressed by the thorough and structured curriculum. The bootcamp was intense, with daily theory and challenges based on real-world examples, but I received constant support from instructors and classmates. I am grateful for the sense of accomplishment and growth I experienced during the bootcamp, and hope to inspire others to invest in their own professional development through similar experiences.

Le Wagon is really so much more than just a bootcamp! I chose the online, part time option, and I was really not disappointed! You grow really close to the teachers and your classmates over the 6 months of the course, and I just can't believe that I managed to learn new complicated skills in such a short time (I knew close to nothing about coding before I started). Really, the teachers al all there to lift your spirits when it gets more difficult and this experience is quite life changing, literally! I finished Le Wagon with solid friendships, connections and skills, and I found a job before even finishing the course! I'm so glad I went for it and I didn't give up when I felt like maybe I wasn't made for this, and it's all thanks to the amazing teachers and Le Wagon. I also love that we have a great network when we finish and that you have the possibility of becoming a teacher yourself! All in all, would absolutely recommend! Read less

I made Le Wagon Web Developper bootcamp in Bordeaux and it was amazing. I learned so much in 9 weeks. The teachers was great and the teachers assistants as well. It was quiet difficult the 2 first weeks but the pedagogy make sense. Thanks so much to the team ;) Read less

As someone looking to make a career change into the tech industry, I was drawn to the Full-stack Web Development Bootcamp from Le Wagon. With a background in hospitality and limited experience in web development, I was looking for a comprehensive and immersive program that would help me build a solid foundation in web development and learn the latest technologies.  The bootcamp covered a wide range of topics, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ruby on Rails, and more. Each topic was presented in a clear and concise manner, with plenty of hands-on exercises to practice what I had learned. There was also the emphasis on best practices and industry standards in web development. As someone with a background in a different field, I found it helpful to understand the reasoning behind certain approaches and technologies. The bootcamp included several projects, such as a Airbnb clone and a final project based on an individual product pitch, which allowed me to apply my new skills in a real-world context.  During the final project phase of the bootcamp, I was able to use my experience in hospitality to inform the design and functionality of my web application. With the guidance of my instructors, I was able to create a mobile-first web application that streamlines the ordering process for restaurant owners, making it easier for them to manage their inventory and orders.  Overall, I found the course materials to be of high quality and well-suited for my learning style. The instructors, who were all experienced developers, were friendly and engaging,, and they were always available to answer questions and provide guidance. One of the things I appreciated most about the bootcamp was the supportive and collaborative learning environment. My classmates came from a variety of backgrounds and had varying levels of experience, but we all supported and learned from each other.  Overall, I highly recommend the Full-stack Web Development Bootcamp from Le Wagon to anyone looking to learn web development from scratch or expand their existing knowledge, especially those looking to make a career change into the tech industry. The instructors are knowledgeable and supportive, and the course materials are top-notch. I feel much more confident in my web development skills and my ability to succeed in the tech industry after completing this bootcamp, and I'm excited to continue learning and building projects on my own.  Read less

I recently completed a web development course at Le Wagon coding bootcamp in Montreal and I have to say, it was an unforgettable experience. One of the aspects I appreciated the most about the bootcamp was the focus on practical skills. Significant time was spent working on projects and building our own web applications, which gave us the opportunity to put what we learned into practice and see firsthand results. The course was intense and required a lot of dedication, but the support from the instructors and my batch (#1058) of fellow students made it manageable. It was a great experience to be able to learn from and work with people from different backgrounds and with different experiences. Overall, I highly recommend Le Wagon coding bootcamp. Read less

It was excellent! I found everything I was looking for here to train in Web development, enter a very active network full of competent and kind people. The resources provided were top-notch and the support from the community was invaluable. I highly recommend this platform to anyone looking to learn or improve their skills in Web development. The opportunities for growth and connection with others in the field are endless. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. Read less

I loved being a part of Le Wagon Batch #1011 in Rio de Janeiro! I'm still young, but  I was inspired to learn to code to open my mind. I had great recommendations from friends and now I have no doubts that it was the right choice! The way the staff at Le Wagon treats their students is great, not only teaching them but helping everyone achieve their goals in just 9 weeks. It's very intense, but there is plenty of time to do exercises and relax before the next one. Amazing experience!  Read less

I had the chance to come into this bootcamp after having already completed an associate's in Computer Science, but I really needed the practical experience of building projects that could be used, not just solving programming exercises. Le Wagon definitely provided that and the opportunity to code/learn with others which is invaluable. The TAs are all Le Wagon graduates (which helps Le Wagon's post-graduation employment % numbers), but if you are having trouble getting hired as a developer, it is a great way to continue building upon your skills and for students, these TAs are knowledgeable enough to make a BIG difference in your learning journey. And many of them are already working as developers, so they can share their real-world experience with us.

Many students come in with little to no programming knowledge and at the end of our bootcamp, everyone was able to submit an impressive functioning web app. 
I would absolutely do this again (even thinking about the data science & machine learning modules) and recommend Le Wagon to anyone who is on the fence about bootcamps.

As an aside, I chose the part-time remote option because I work full-time. I honestly think I got more out of the part-time schedule because it allowed me time to digest and understand the lectures and exercises while doing extra outside work to learn more. I don't think I would have had the bandwidth to do this if I did the full-time bootcamp. Read less

I graduated last week and I'm writing this review because i found Le Wagon bootcamp really useful and I can’t believe the time passed so quick that I miss the bootcamp time with Le Wagon and all the wonderful time with my classmates. Staff, Teachers and TAs are very helpful and classmates are all incredibly nice.Before joining the bootcamp I was a no-code product manager managing a cloud broadcast platform and team at max 10 pax in Hong Kong and right now I feel confident to start my new career path in UK.

After going through a difficult period professionally during the pandemic, I decided to learn how to code to take my career to the next level. I started learning online and even though I loved programming, I felt lost in a sea of languages, tools, and frameworks. It was also very frustrating whenever I got stuck on some doubt or question. Enter Le Wagon, one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.  The full-stack web development Bootcamp gave me the structure I was looking for. At Le Wagon, you are taken on a two-and-a-half-month adventure through coding that culminates at demo day, where you get to proudly present your final project, a full-fledged web app created by little old you and a small team of your fellow students. The teachers (and there are always a bunch of them available) are always there for your questions, bugs, and insecurities. Every day you are paired with a fellow student and together you tackle the day’s challenges, so you are always supported one way or another, and you quickly learn to program as part of a team. The staff always makes you feel at home at the campus which is tremendously helpful in such an intense and challenging course. Overall, the whole experience was incredible and while I can’t wait for what the future holds now I’ve completed the Bootcamp, I also miss it already :)

Let's be real. Are bootcamps really worth the money putting a lot of content in 3 months or so?
I was suuuper sceptical and can after graduating from Le Wagon I can say YES 100%!!!
I was totally new to the tech area and did not know what machine learning was - couldn't even write 3 lines of code in Python. And what happened that last 2 weeks? I created a whole webapp using a deep learning algorithm from scratch working in a 4 people team!
If somebody tells you that a 3 month Le Wagon bootcamp is more worth than a bachelor and master in computer science - trust him! Read less
