Le Wagon

During my time with Le Wagon’s Batch #380 in Milan, Italy, I learned many valuable practical skills that would not only support me on my way to beginning my career in Computer Science and Web Development , but to also help me flourish in the diverse and international environment that is IT. Working on rigorous, yet engaging, tasks throughout the week with peers of different backgrounds, cultures, and life experiences was invigorating and introduced me to different ways of thinking, eventually making me a more focused, efficient, and patient programmer. I am excited to continue to learn and work with Le Wagon, and eventually become a Tutor myself and to try out their new Data Science course! Read less

I had my first experiences in coding during my thesis in clinical life science. I performed statistical and bioinformatic analysis. Slowly but surely, I became more and more passionate about intersections of Healthcare, data and programming.
After my thesis, I attended a data science bootcamp (blent.ai) and got a position on a project aiming to develop tools for diagnostic assistance with machine learning and medical images.
I decided to join Le Wagon (Paris, part time program) because I still had no experience in web development and how to design a functional product. For my current work, I wanted to learn how to integrate our machine learning model in a web application so non-tech users could use it and better understand the solution we provide.
The part time program (6 months) I spent at Le Wagon was quite tough, but we had time to process information and to enjoy this adventure. All of this, in a friendly environment and community. I'm now more confident about what I can do to design solutions and to code with a team. And this is only the beginning. Read less

 Some months ago, I was working as a lawyer in a big law firm. I was unhappy with my career, because I couldn't see any purpose in it anymore, just doing repetitive meaningless stuff. That was when I discovered Le Wagon. I felt like as if I just discovered a whole new world, because I never thought I could be a programmer, coming from another completely different area. I was always interested in technology but I had no idea how to code before Le Wagon. After only 3 months (half of the course), I learned enough to change jobs and started working as a programmer with Python, even though I didn't have any notion of Python before. I am glad I had the chance to learn so much and be part of this awesome community. It was truly a life-changing experience.  Read less

One year ago, after 4 years in the financial services industry, I decided to join Le Wagon Paris, within their first Part Time program.
My main motivation for joining Le Wagon was to develop hard skills which could both help me in my current job, and enable me to be more employable for any future opportunity.
The 6 months I spent at Le Wagon were definitely tough, but even more a good experience.
I hadn’t had such an important intellectual challenge for years, and by chance, at Le Wagon, we are well supported to reach the targeted level, and by the end, to develop a web app (almost) ready-to-use.
Since I left, in February, I didn’t code a lot, but I use other skills gained during the Part Time program, such as UX design, for my current job as a financial services consultant. Read less

It was way more challenging than I expected, but  learning as part of a group and with teachers available almost 24/7 helps a lot in this journey where you otherwise would be on the verge of giving up a lot of times.
I didn't think I could learn so much in such a short period of time. I'm not going go lie, it requires tons of hours of work, but it's really worth the time and money invested if you're willing to commit yourself fully to it. Plus, you already have a Github portfolio at the end of the bootcamp.
I'd recommend it if you're sure you like coding enough to "suffer" to learn it. If the answer is yes, this bootcamp is truly great and you'll be amazed at what you're capable of doing at the end of it.  Read less

 Amazing teachers very attentive. You come for a bootcamp but you will find more than what you asked. Sure, the bootcamp will get you the tech skills you need in a fraction of the time. So you will build strong foundations for learning how to code. Moreover, Teacher’s Assistant share their post bootcamp experiences, it's definitively worth your time and your money.  Read less

Boarding for the Paris’s Wagon batch #291 was an amazing experience !
Hang on because the program is intensive : 9 weeks to take up the challenge.
Teachers are extremely competent, helpful and available. Everything is optimized to encourage and facilitate learning (the setup of the machines, the format of the courses, the optional exercises, the different projects, the atmosphere, the assistance…)
The Wagon allowed me to understand and acquire all the necessary tools to work in the world of tech.
The little + of the Wagon ? : his community and the good spirit that reigns there.
The meetup between alumni, teacher and entrepreneurs are extremely rich in teaching.
As you will understood, I can only encourage you to embark on this wonderful adventure and to come out grown up of this training.

It was a really amazing, life changing experience, and I don't regret it at all! I am really glad I decided to join. The teachers are great, the content is really good, and I get access to the content for the rest of my life so I can review it whenever I want! Read less

After a few years as a Product Owner I felt the need to understand the technical issues I was facing every day. I was challenging developers and agencies all the time, not knowing exactly what they were doing. 
I also wanted to take a turn and evolve in my career but I didn't really know what to do. 
So I decided to attend Le Wagon and quickly realized that I had made the best decision! I learned SO many things beyond just code in a super friendly atmosphere where no one is left behind thanks to passionate teachers. I met a lot of very nice people from various backgrounds, which is also the strength of the program. 
Being part of Le Wagon community and network is a real strength and helped many alumni so far.
I can only recommend Le Wagon bootcamp as it really exceeded my expectations on all levels. Read less

 From the moment I started this bootcamp on the first day of a 6 month journey in a Part-Time Coding Bootcamp, It has been a tremendous journey of growth not just in technical skills as a dev/engineer but also being able to grow to learn product design skills, being able to learn to work and collaborate with your cohort and even being able to understand the journey of building a MVP as if you were going into the startup journey. I wouldn't say that I have come out of the bootcamp knowing everything to be at a level of a senior engineer or a high-level entrepreneur, but I would say I have learned a solid foundation of learning how to learn, solve problems and understand product that will help pave a clear road map as to becoming a great 10xer as a Senior Developer or even a product manager.  The friends I made in that journey and coming out of this bootcamp securing a role as a Junior Software Developer at a Scale-Up Company. I know this is just the beginning of a new life just look forward to seeing where this takes me.  Having struggled to find an education program that suits my approach to learning for the longest time I am grateful I made that decision to do Le Wagon and of course a big shout to the Melbourne Team for their patience, support, and teachings through all this.  Thank you  Read less

I strongly recommend Le Wagon to anyone interested in web development! Read less

Coming from advertising, I learned early the importance of having a full overview of the needs regarding an overall project I was cooking up with my team. I quickly felt the need to master the means that would enable me to add a technical support to a project. 

After a one year world tour with my brother on a rice and pasta budget, learning a bit of everything from everywhere. I wanted to fulfill my curiosity about coding. That’s why I started learning programming by myself before trying out at the summer pool of 42. Ensuring that it was what I really wanted to do, I then applied for Le Wagon bootcamp after the recommendation of friends/devs of mine.

Le Wagon experience was amazing. Even in remote the team succeeded to make the Bootcamp super effective. This is an occasion to meet and befriend great individuals during 9 weeks. And to create a project from scratch while acquiring new skills everyday.  
That’s a real pleasure to be part of Le Wagon family, a community always active and open to everyone.

If you are considering joining Le Wagon bootcamp, don’t and join us ! :truck: Read less

Before started my amazing experience at Le Wagon Paris, i was working as a nurse for 3 years.
I've heard some people who had a wonderfull experience and now i know why ! Le wagon gave me the opportunity to learn coding so fast, they have a great pedagogy and they share their passion every day. You just need to know that you won't be 
disappointed no matter your level in code ! 
One good point with Le Wagon is that you can continue the experience as a teacher assistant with the others students, and you be part of the community of the Alumni, which is very helpfull when you need it ! Read less

Before Le Wagon, I started my career as a chef in 3 star Michelin restaurants and I've been working in many restaurants around the world for nearly 8 years. Le Wagon was for me the opportunity to learn a new skill and change my everyday routine. I never thought I would learn so much in such a short period of time! We worked in remote and I think that's what made it easier for me to focus. I think the teaching method is already well established and proven anyway, what I can say is that it works on people who are not too academic like me! I was also pleasantly surprised by the fact that everyone socialised very quickly, despite the distance. The lockdown context changed the socials habits but it's still allowed us to benefit from "Le Wagon network" which is one of the strengths for which I chose this bootcamp. At the end of my batch, I even had the opportunity to be a teacher assistant and it's a pleasure for me to help students learning.  Read less

I attended Le Wagon to boost my understanding of code and web development in general. I was a Product Owner for three years and was facing everyday technical issues which had a big impact on my job and my company. At Le Wagon, I found that precious tech boost and much much more : a real Product building culture, great lessons about how to work in team, and friendship with many passionate people from diverse backgrounds. Big up to the teaching team ! Read less

I've just completed the most gruelling 9 weeks of my life -- Le Wagon Singapore's web developer bootcamp. I started as a complete code newbie and now have several web apps deployed to Heroku, including my coding team's beautiful capstone project Savvy Granny (www.savvy-granny.com).
I am a mid-career convert to the tech sector. In my earlier career I was an academic. After publishing two books, I felt burned out and wanted to create and build things instead of analyze or write about them. The idea of coding bootcamp appealed to me, but with my liberal arts background, it just seemed impossibly difficult.
The turning point for me was when I came across a post from Le Wagon's co-founder Sébastien Saunier explaining why they taught Ruby. His description of Ruby as "simple, concise, close to the English language and very flexible" intrigued me, and I soon signed up for Codecademy's free Ruby course. I decided that if I could learn Ruby, then I could handle a coding bootcamp.
As it turned out, I not only completed Codecademy's Ruby course, I found it incredibly fun! Coding was not at all what I had previously imagined it to be. I signed up for Le Wagon's web developer bootcamp, and began learning as much as I could about technology, almost as if to make up for lost time.
The bootcamp itself was a blast. Everyday we did a series of Codewars-type coding challenges, and we began building things with code. One of the earliest and most gratifying moments for me was when I built my personal website with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and deployed it to GitHub Pages. I had built my previous website with WordPress' drag-and-drop interface -- lacking at that time any knowledge of CSS -- so I felt a great sense of personal accomplishment in coding my own website.
Once we moved into Ruby on Rails, we began building apps that we could deploy on Heroku. We started small -- simple productivity tools like to-do lists, and then we moved into larger apps. Along the way, I had gained the confidence to start building my own projects.
The climax of the bootcamp was the two weeks spent building our capstone projects. I was extremely fortunate to be grouped with three talented developers, and we quickly built the guts of the app in the first week, and methodically built out the special features of the app in the second. I was especially pleased that our app serves the urgent social need of bridging the generational digital divide.
Now that the bootcamp is over, my fellow grads and I have the technical foundation to learn and build more. Our familiarity with the Rails framework has given us the confidence to move into other frameworks, in particular React. I for one am excited about the new apps that we are going to build. Read less

I started Le Wagon bootcamp in Lausanne with no previous knowledge of coding. In two months I learned all the basics to start a career in software and developed a full web application.
Teachers are very supportive, and the whole experience was very fun.
I definitely recommend to anyone who is interested in coding and wants to make a career switch. Read less

Céline Rondeau; Montréal, QC
I was working in the retail industry in Toronto when I decided to learn code, and I chose to do the Web Development bootcamp with Le Wagon, located in Montreal for 9 weeks. My experience with Le Wagon was really inspiring, challenging at times, and my life did change by learning how to code. I was in a team of four during project week, and we created an app called “Buddy”. It is designed for solo travelers to find buddies for activities in any country.

Since I did the course during the COVID-19 pandemic, I was really impressed on how fast the Le Wagon team was able to convert the course to be done remotely. I highly recommend Le Wagon; the support system is phenomenal, and it was an amazing experience.
