Le Wagon

I am a former engineer in Urban System who always was attracted by IT. I decided to do Le Wagon bootcamp (part-time 24 weeks) in 2020 and it was a wonderfull experience. In addition to the many technical skills I have acquired allowing me, today, to create Web applications from Scratch, this training made me discover new ways of working and a world full of opportunities and possibilities that I can't wait to explore !

 Looking back one year after finishing Le Wagon I can honnestly say that it was one of the best decision I ever made. I wanted to be a web developer and Le Wagon was exactly the kick start I needed. It felt like taking the highway without speed limit. Nevertheless, it's not magical, but nothing is. Not for you if you're lazy, not for you if you are a complete stranger to a computer.
The unexpected value was for me the amazing network you are gonna be part of as an alumni.  Read less

After completing a master’s degree in business administration, I worked as a Product Marketing Manager in a tech company for three years. During that time, I worked closely with the company’s developers to build websites. Despite being a techie, I sometimes felt hindered by my inability to 'speak the language' with the tech teams. That’s why I first decided to learn how to code.
After attending Le Wagon in Paris, I realized that coding could be something more than just better communication with developers, because I could be a developer myself! Le Wagon gave me the keys to start a new career as a web developer and create amazing websites and applications. Read less

Le Wagon was an amazing experience for me! It's been so helpful to start and grow my dream business, because of the technical skills I learned there, but also all the innovation environnement within the Wagon with conferences, network, alumni and meetings. Above all, I met many great people during my batch, with amazing fellow batchers but also the fantastic Wagon crew. They're both still very good friends. To conclude a fresh air experience, which definitely helps me to pivot to a cool life path! Read less

I overall had an amazing time at Le Wagon. First, teachers and teaching assistants were very professional and always there to make sure each subject is properly understood by the students. They try very hard (and with success I must admit) to answer every possible questions you may have. Then you have that sense of community building up throughout the duration of the course. Because you get to meet almost every other students thanks to the buddy system they have in place. Basically you randomly get a new partner every single day to spend the day with, help each other on challenging exercises. You literally have access to all almunis should you have any questions and that is great too ! The only regret I may have is that time just flies like crazy there. I had such a fun time that 9 weeks felt like a few days. Read less

We use apps everyday but we usually have no clue how they are being created! 
Le Wagon helped me to get these Web Dev skills so I can created my own. 
It was very intensive but it served its purpose of ensuring that students can truly give digital life to their ideas! 
Also a great opportunity to travel and learn! I choose the Melbourne Campus to discover Australia and I'm not regretting it! 

I'd say that the only negative point would be that we don't learn the most "used" language. Ruby on Rails is very practical to create your own apps but it's not the most common language that digital agencies are using to create websites ...  Read less

I attended the Le Wagon Tokyo batch#394. That was definitely great experience.
Lectures are very well made. Every teachers were knowledgeable and always there to support us. 
Of course, you should pre-study as much as you can. More you prepare, further you can go during the bootcamp.
If you're thinking of joining Le Wagon, go for it!

When I first made the decision to change my career and pursue web development, I had a skeptical attitude towards Le Wagon (and bootcamps in general). I wondered, "Can't I just learn everything on my own online? And how is it possible that Le Wagon can have a nearly perfect rating online?" Still, I took the plunge and registered, and I'm so glad that I did. In fact, my only regret is I wish I would have gone through Le Wagon's program sooner in my life.

Each day during the bootcamp is long, and the pace is intense as there are lectures and coding challenges each and every day. At the same time, the program was extremely enjoyable. The curriculum is very well organized and gives you everything you need to develop and make progress as a developer. The coding challenges are well thought out, and they do a great job of reinforcing the lessons from that day's lecture. And finally, I can't say enough about the quality of the teachers. Not only are they extremely skilled at programming, and not only are they are excellent communicators who actually try to teach in a way that's clear and engaging, they are also great people who are really professional, patient, and fun.

I mentioned above that I used to wonder how Le Wagon can have a nearly perfect rating online. But now that I've gone through their program, I can safely say that Le Wagon's rating is very well-deserved. Read less

I decided to enroll at Le Wagon during the summer of my second year of computer science to complete my theoretical knowledge with concrete skills in web development.  It was an amazing experience where I learned a lot. It really gives you a clear understanding of how the web works and how you can develop a complete web application from scratch, understanding both the frontend and the backend.  On top of that, I learned a few design and project management skills as well. Comparing to my master's degree in Software Engineering, I would say Le Wagon's coding bootcamp is equivalent to 2 years of study in the field. The teachers are excellent, the courses really well designed. I would definitely recommend it to anyone that wants to learn how to code.  Read less

I had been working as a Civil Engineer and during my free time I started to learn coding to make games on unity. However I felt I was just coding what I memorized without knowing the logics. I thought I didn't have the foundation of programming I need, so thats why I decided to join Le Wagon.
It was very challenging 9-weeks that I have learnt about programming foundations, web development, teamwork, and project management. At the end of the bootcamp, I had 2 big team projects and many personal projects as well. It was one of the most challenging and enjoyable period in my life. Read less

If you are reading this review and wondering if you should dive into the world of coding, just do it. 
I graduated one of the popular universities in Japan with B.A. and got government related job for my first career. After that, I became a recruiter and developed my career in HR and recruitment industry. In my life, everything was always competitive like getting into a good university, getting a job at a famous company, and being a top sales at my work place... but I always knew that I don't have a proven skill which I can show off to people in a different environment. I wanted to have a skill which I can keep improving in my life. This is why I chose to learn coding and Le Wagon. 

First, everything was so new to me and I struggled a lot with understanding the whole concept of programming language. The course was intense but one day I realized myself that I was enjoying coding from the bottom of my heart. There are many ways to learn programming in this society, but I still strongly recommend Le Wagon as there are awesome teachers who dedicate themselves to support and motivate students. I was always the one asking teachers a question but all of them are very supportive and I could finally manage finishing the course with my own web app. 

I can't imagine myself now without having this amazing experience at Le Wagon and I really want to tell myself in the past that I made a great decision to join Le Wagon. I now want to keep coding and improving my skill and tell people around me that everything started from the first day at Le Wagon.  Read less

I worked for 10 years as sales and i was fed up about that. I decided to change my life with Le Wagon in Paris. Now I'm product manager and I'm very happy to do this work every day :). Without Le Wagon, it would not have been possible !
I met a lot of interesting people and I'll never forget this amazing experience !! Read less

As a business school student I grew tired of not doing anything practical. Why not coding ? 
It was so hard to find any bad review about Le Wagon yet it managed somehow to exceed my expectations.

It's a wonderful humane experience and the learning process could not be smoother and effective. The alumni network is huge and extremely active : two weeks in the bootcamp and I already found the 6-month internship I was looking for. 
Now I'm a happy full stack developer. I know I can count on Le Wagon to build my carrier on something I'm actually passionate about and for many years to come.

Congrats on building such a wonderful community ! Read less

After many years of work in the movie business & others domains, i decided to become a web programmer.
I wanted to have new qualifications and also find the job openings that come with it.

I started comparing many different formations and the Wagon Bootcamp was in my opinion the one with the best reputation and also the one with the best process.

At the end of the 3 months formation, i can say that it totally worthed it. In this amount of time, we started from scratch and learned everything we needed to know about front-end development: Ruby, Javascript, HTML & CSS.

I am now more than competent to create a website or a mobile application from nothing. Read less

Hello,
I participated in the batch 350 in Paris and it was an incredible experience !
The teaching staff, the quality and structure of the lessons, the place and also the atmosphere ! 
Everything was perfect for studying and learning in the best conditions
I learned much more than coding during these 9 weeks of bootcamp, we are taught to be very productive, develop our product culture, use a multitude of tools And of course, met fabulous people with diverse backgrounds and incredible motivation

So my recommendation on a scale of 1 to 10 ? 
11 ! Read less

I was in a point of my life where I needed to change my career and that's when I found out about this amazing coding bootcamp.
Le Wagon Milan has been the best learning experience I've ever had and I will recommend it to everyone who wants to lean about web development.
Even if a 9-week program may not seem enough to you, I can confirm that it is and you will be amazed by the amount of skills you will have gained by the end of it and that will allow you to start your career as a developer.
I loved the international environment, the teachers and staff were amazing and always there to help you and most importantly, it's super intensive and if you put 100% effort in it you will get the best experience ever out of it.
Be ready to code many hours every day and by the end you will be able to code a web app from scratch and put it to production. How amazing is that! Read less

Hi! I’m Riwan! I participated in the batch #350 of Le Wagon in Paris. I’ve always been interested about web development and Le Wagon has allowed me to make my passion my profession. Le Wagon not only teaches us to code but also to think completely about a web product. The plurality of the profiles that make up a batch is very interesting: whether one is passionate or novice, everyone knows how to code at the end of the training. The pace is very fast but we finally get used to it (even with 2.30 hours of transport per day!). This training is incredible and gives all the cards to be able to work in the web afterwards! Read less

First thing first, It’s not easy at all to learn how to code and specially when it’s the part-time course! (You have to be prepared to say goodbye to your Saturdays and also your Friday nights ahaha).

During the formation, you may think that it’s going to be impossible to pass all the exercises or to finish your project graduation on time but you have to stay strong because when you graduate, you will feel so good about yourself that it’s really worth it!

I learned to code but not only! The teachers and teaching assistants teach you how to work as a team when it’s time for your Rails prototype and that was very helpful!

I met a lot of interesting people at Le Wagon, both the students and specially the teaching staff!

Their profiles are so diversified that it makes them the best asset of Le Wagon, you can ask them so many questions about coding and also working as a developer, free lancer or entrepreneur and that answers a lot of questions when you are at Le Wagon for a career change!

Thanks to all the staff !

Le Wagon Bali was the best decision of my life and I am so happy I made the jump. First, a little bit about myself. I am 34 years old and spent the majority of my adult life working as a paramedic, vastly different from the tech industry. I have always been interested in learning to code and many times embarked on online courses which were structured in a way which rarely resulted in any true understanding of the content, especially considering limited time I have for learning with full time work. Overall, I knew I wanted to learn to code, I knew I would enjoy coding, it just wasn’t working for me trying to do it solo. So, nervously and uncertain, I took 9 weeks from my family and career and embarked on my journey with Le Wagon. Fast forward 5 months and now  I am employed as a full-stack developer during a pandemic, in my dream location, thanks in no small part to Le Wagon. Ok, so first thing to know about Le Wagon is, it’s hard, it’s no holiday (especially if you have limited coding experience). The were many times in the first three weeks where the learning curve was so steep I felt hopeless, there were times when I actually thought I might cry – I usually only cry if I was to be punched in the nose. That’s where you get to lean on the other students who are undoubtedly going through the same range of emotions, forging friendships as you learn together. Then there’s Le Wagon’s best asset, the teachers and teaching assistants, who bring a wealth of knowledge, passion and guidance.  I now know they are the reason Le Wagon has the incredible reputation it has. These guys are there 12 hours a day teaching complex content in an understandable way, solving problems, deciphering our poorly written code, and willing to help unassuming paramedics who really had no idea about coding to start with. They became friends and lifelong mentors, and made my experience at Le Wagon Bali and unforgettable and truly rewarding experience. If you were considering Le Wagon and were on the fence my advice would be to take the plunge, you won’t regret it. Especially in Bali, I can vouch for that team – they are the bomb. Thank you to Dirk, Guido, Gianluca, Sonia, Rayhan, Sisi and the class of #349! Read less

Le Wagon Italy is a great organization made of fantastic people, both professionally and humanly speaking.
I joined their web development boot camp to gain new skills in order to switch career path and all I can say is it that I'm amazed by the quality of their program.
You'll learn so many key arguments necessary to start your career either as a developer, freelancer or entrepreneur.
Most importantly you'll practice these arguments every single day throughout the entire boot camp together with an international fellowship of students, supported by amazing teachers.
Along the way you might feel a little lost because of the intensiveness of the program but don't worry at all, all the dots will connect at the end and you'll be amazed by the amount of stuff you learned along the journey.
Long story short: I'd recommend Le Wagon Italy to anyone who's passionate about programming because this organization is the real deal. Read less
