Le Wagon

Before starting Le Wagon bootcamp I used to be a project manager. I worked within start ups that developed really cool products but did not feel like I understood properly what the team was doing. I started Le Wagon to be able to communicate better with the team & being able to challenge technical choices.
Since the bootcamp I became a better technical project manager to communicate with internal team but also with external technical teams. Read less

After studying material engineer and then working in the Operations, I wanted to learn something new. I always was interested in coding but thought it wasn’t made for me because I sucked at it in class.
I chose Le Wagon because the bootcamp wasn’t long and I could learn everything I needed to know to become a Web Developper in only 9 weeks.
Now that the bootcamp has finished, I wish it could have lasted a little bit more. All the staff is super nice and ready to help you when you’re lost.  What I really enjoyed is that the teachers and TA have already done the same bootcamp, few months or years before, so they know what you’re going through, what they are talking about and where you will have a problem.

I just ended the intensive web development bootcamp in Paris. I started from 0 and I am now ready to develop sites, modify them or even redesign them! It was 9 intense weeks, but it's worth it! I have learned a lot and above all I have learned while having fun! The staff is great: educational, friendly, always present. The general atmosphere is really incredible, everything is done to make this adventure as complete as possible.

I really recommend this bootcamp!

I just ended my Bootcamp with Le Wagon Paris. During the first 7 weeks, we learned a lot about Ruby on Rails and i'm now independent to create my own websites, wich is amazing !
During the last 2 weeks, i was working with three other people on a group project. It was a great way to apply everything we learned on a web app we chose to build. As a group, we had to adapt to everyone's skills so we could be ready for the demo day, where I had the opportunity to present our project in front of 100 people. Le Wagon gave me the confidence i needed to keep learning new things and to start my own company ! I highly recommend :).  Read less

 After several years working in tax law and the banking industry, I decided to move my career in another direction. I’ve always fancied the tech world, that’s why I looked for formations in web development. After some times studying the different possibilities, I chose the Fullstack Web Dev Bootcamp of Le Wagon. Why? Because of its great network of alumni, of its duration (9 intense weeks) and of its renown overall quality. I’ve made amazing friends along the way and I’ve confirmed my liking for programming. Yay! Read less

I was a total beginner in Web Development and was pretty anxious about starting a two month bootcamp. Quickly, I realised that I didn’t have to worry about that. The first day they were saying “trust the program”. Now I can too, tell you personally as a fresh alumni to “trust the program”. It’s perfectly done and I've learned so many interesting notions. I’m glad to have done it. Read less

Le Wagon bootcamp was truly a great experience. I am working as a data consultant. I didn't have much coding experience before joining the bootcamp. I came up to learn new skill on data analysis, machine learning and deep learning. Clearly I feel way more confortable now and I gained so much autonomy in my professional and person projects. The bootcamp is quite maths-oriented so you really get to understand what's behind machine learning models (you do not just implement them). I recommend having good basics skills in maths/statistics and python if you're planning to join the data science bootcamp. Teachers and members of the organization were super friendly and helpful. They pay lots of attention in your good understanding of the course. Also Le Wagon has a huge worldwide community. I would definitely recommend if your looking for an intensive data science bootcamp.

Spending these two months at Le Wagon has been an incredible experience. 
The atmosphere is very good, the teaching staff is very friendly. 
The idea of working with a different buddy every day is amazing.
It's a very intensive training but very well supervised, I am now passionate about code and I can't wait to practice it in my next job. Read less

 Before Le Wagon I was working in the fashion industry and had never coded. When I saw the different backgrounds of the students, I knew I was in the right place. We are supervised from day one by teacher assistants who were (for the most part) former students and who know exactly what we are going through. The first few days were the hardest, but once you start to see the results of your efforts, you keep going. What makes The Wagon unique is also our access to the network of brilliant alumni, who work in cool places, and I landed my first job (only a few days after the bootcamp) thanks to the events organized to meet recruiters and alumni.  Read less

With a former experience as software engineer in industrial printing, I had reached a point in my career where I wanted to change course and invest into a new career to bring a true meaning to my everyday activity. My investigations led me to turn into Data Sciences and I liked the booster that an almost 10 weeks bootcamp could bring. From the very start, once you pass the necessary python and maths warm-ups, you will learn entirely new concepts every.single.day. Yes, this is intense (this is what you paid for!) and can be overwhelming at times but in the end you will get all the intuitions of a Data Scientist and understand all the roles a data scientist can fulfill in the data and IA domains.
Concerning the teaching method, lectures are built as a thorough resources with extra pointers to dive into anytime you want to dig further into those concepts. Exercises and lectures are constantly reworked and refined which makes « Le Wagon » a truly agile learning structure offering lifetime access to new content once you join the alumni fellowship. But be certain that you will be given truly up-to-date content.
Moreover the teaching process (lecture, exercices, end of day recap) involves a full team of teacher assistants during the whole exercices phase is meant to leave No-one in the corner.The teaching team is energetic, composed of teachers and former students that are eager to share their past and present experiences and committed to the success of your bootcamp. And the level of commitment of that team, especially during the project phase, is nothing short of remarkable. I owe them, as well as with the teaching process, a huge thank you to have successfully rekindled the fun in coding and algorithmic that I thought I had lost for good. And eventually it opened new doors that I thought were not meant for me…
In short let’s say that the fame that « Le Wagon » has gained over the years is well deserved! Dive in and you will be rewarded! Read less

By registering at Le Wagon Paris, I knew that I was going to follow a quality training, but I didn't expect it to be so well established. We trust the program and let ourselves be carried away !
The teachers are very qualified, super caring and available. I felt accompanied and supported throughout the training.
I learned so much in such a short time, and the progression is crazy : at the end of the 9 weeks, we acquire reflexes and we master the basics. I feel totally ready to land a job as a junior developer.
The project weeks bring another dimension to the bootcamp. We work as a team and we give our all to deliver the best possible app !
It was an amazing experience ! I am proud to be an alumni now :)  Read less

Le Wagon Paris Bootcamp was an incredible experience. I left my previous company to learn how to code and have more technical skills. At the end of the day, thanks to the high quality of the program and teachers, this bootcamp gave me the opportunity to create and learn the code easier than I expected. More than a program that enables you to learn how to code, I recommend it should you seek a way to learn how to be a developer.  Read less

After 3 years as a pedagogical engineer and chief product officer in a Parisian start-up, I decided to attend Le Wagon Web Development full-time Bootcamp in April 2021, in order to change my profession to Web Developer. During my ten weeks at Le Wagon, in addition to mastering back-end programming languages like Ruby, I also acquired some front-end skills like flexbox, CSS grid, and ES6. Two weeks after graduating from Le Wagon, I found my first job as a Back-End Developer. I am very grateful to Le Wagon for changing my life in only two months. Read less

I just finished the Data Science bootcamp at the Wagon in Paris. The last 10 weeks were intense as I learned most of the data science concepts and put them into practice.
It is very impressive to see what we were able to produce in the last 2 weeks of projects.This was only possible because of the very well-prepared lectures and the challenges we were given every day, as well as the teacher assistants who were always there to answer our questions, spend as much time as necessary to help us understand and implement the new concepts.
The friendly and collaborative environment is, in my opinion, a key factor of success, and my 10 weeks of bootcamp proved it.This training is a very good complement to my initial scientific training, which is starting to be outdated, and to my professional management experience. I am sure that being comfortable with data science, which I hope to be now, will be a strong positive complement for my future professional career. Read less

I did the data science course given by Le Wagon Buenos Aires.
I don't have coding experience nor data analysis experience. This was my first bootcamp. Doing 9 hours a day of study can be though if you don't have a good backup. Le Wagon provided excellent help and motivation. The course is very practice-oriented. The teachers are more likely to be experts rather than academics. The campus has multiple exercises, and ressourse to keep on track. The first 3 weeks where to set the basis of coding, data-viz and the toolkit. So be prepared to dive in DL and ML starting on the 16th day. This is important: be fresh because there begins the real action. The material is available for ever to review it, so you can see it over and over. The lecture are well prepared and the exercises can be challenging. The team (teachers and ta) are really helpful, the atmosphere is excellent for learning.
I am still looking for a good job, I guess that that will be the last evaluation of the course. Read less

Le Wagon is the coding bootcamp if you really want to learn how to learn. It's challenging and rewarding in all the right amounts, the staff is beyond attentive and the teachers are just amazing. I had the most rewarding learning experience ever the 2 intense months of the bootcamp and it really paid off on my career. I was hired in less than a month after completing the bootcamp. Read less

My overall experience was very positive. I won’t lie, it was very challenging and confronting you grasp vast amounts of information, but I’m honestly glad I went through that, it was the best way to learn at a fast-paced (the tech industry is naturally fast-paced anyway).

I don’t have a negative comment, but more so a suggestion to help students cope with stress during a massive project. I personally coped well under stress, but others not so much. All in all, I loved every moment & would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to change into tech & make awesome new friends. Read less

Before I joined the LeWagon bootcamp, I was working in corporate jobs that were becoming increasingly uninteresting and unfulfilling. I had thought about a career change for some time but never had the knowledge of how to do that without going back to university, or just moving into something else that was equally uninteresting to me. At the same time I was always having a lot of ideas for software businesses, but I was unable to execute on them since I didn't know how to write code. It's always scary to leave a job and completely change career, especially when you don't know what the outcome will be. But I'm so incredibly glad that I took the plunge and enrolled in the the LeWagon web development bootcamp - I can honestly say it's one of the best decisions I've made in my professional life.
The bootcamp, while jam-packed with value and incredibly interesting, is hard. You are condensing what would usually be years of content into a 9-week timeframe. That's also the main draw card, though, since you acquire such a valuable skillset in a very, very short amount of time. For that reason my advice would be to make sure you are thoroughly prepared with basic programming knowledge before you start the bootcamp to ensure you keep up. LeWagon provides a pre-course set of materials to get up to speed, but I would suggest even going beyond that and nailing down those fundamental concepts (loops, functions, conditionals etc.) with additional material before starting - there's plenty out there. Aside from that, the program is really well structured and gets you to learn in the most effective way possible - by doing. The day is typically begun with a 1.5 - 2 hour lecture, and then you're off and coding for the rest of the day. The material and amount of work is enough to be challenging and difficult, but still achievable enough so that you see yourself making progress and you're motivated to continue. I can't speak highly enough of the teachers and assistants, who give really engaging lectures, and who are incredibly helpful during the course challenges and in project week. This is true inside and outside of 'course hours' and I've had plenty of ongoing help from them even after the course was well and truly completed.
In the final 2 weeks of the program you get to actually build a real software product that can be used in the real world, with a team of your peers. You may even be fortunate enough, as I was, to have your own idea voted to be the project you work on. This was the most rewarding and engaging part of the whole course for me. You get to put everything you've learned over the last 7 weeks into practice to build a product that you just never think could be built in under 2 weeks. It's exciting, challenging, stressful, fun and most of all extremely rewarding to go through that process and to have a fully fledged product at the end of it is incredible.
I now have the ability to bring a highly valuable skill set to any company I work with, and can build new products whenever I have an idea. I keep saying to my wife it feels like I have super powers. I've recommended LeWagon to many of my friends already, and would strongly encourage anyone who is on the fence to take the plunge and enroll. It's been positively life changing for me.

 Le Wagon was a fantastic experience for me. While looking for bootcamps, I wanted to make sure that I was learning current technologies, industry techniques and how to work in groups. Le Wagon checked all these off with ease. One thing when being new to coding is asking questions. You'll have a lot, and the teachers and T.A’s are there to help you! No matter the question or even how many times you ask, they are always there to help. The knowledge the teachers and T.A’s provide is enormous, and the fact that they have done the program makes you realize that it is possible! There will be ups and downs, but the support from the community is fantastic. Speaking of the community, it is so diverse with everyone's backgrounds and experiences. You make great connections that go beyond the bootcamp. I would recommend Le Wagon to anyone who wants to level up their skills and meet amazing people!  Read less
