I decided to make a career change from Marketing and Communication to coding after I had attended a one-day coding workshop at Le Wagon Barcelona and worked on several small personal projects afterward. I looked at several other boot camps and chose Le Wagon based on the combination of reputation, price, length, of course, class size, diversity of the cohort, course content, teaching environment, and approach, but mostly the focus on building a product and developing problem-solving skills.
I wasn't really sure what to expect as I was very new to the world of coding, and I remember that one of my biggest fears was to take this course and realize that coding wasn't for me. But the opposite happened. I completely fell in love with code, and had that sensation of finding a box with endless tools that enable you to build great things. The passion of our teachers and the motivation all the students bring to the course each day creates a unique atmosphere that really lets you thrive and advance at an incredible speed.
Besides the great program Le Wagon has set up and the skills and concepts they teach you, the community (teachers and alumni) is incredible! There are so much support and resources which I found to be very very helpful especially after the boot camp!
What I gained are new skills to join the tech world but more importantly more confidence in myself.
Having no previous background in coding, it was a struggle in the first couple of weeks of the bootcamp; it was very challenging and intense but the curriculum is very well made and the quality of the teaching was excellent. The whole team at Le Wagon Montreal were very helpful and teachers + TA's were always available to answer questions.

I also made new friends whom I can discuss and solve bugs!
One tip I can give is not to be shy and to write a lot of tickets.
It was an amazing experience and one of the most rewarding accomplishment for me. I will be forever grateful to Le Wagon and I fully recommend them for anyone who wants to start coding!
After 2 years as a Tech Recruiter specialised on the web development market, I needed a change as I realised I was frustrated. I wanted more freedom than classic corporate companies has to offer, I wanted to work in a more creative environment.

After 2 years as a Tech Recruiter specialised on the web development market, I needed a change as I realised I was frustrated. I wanted more freedom than classic corporate companies has to offer, I wanted to work in a more creative environment. I had the will to become a web developer for at least 6 months before I took the decision to implement the first step that initiated the chase of my goal.
My main obstacle being the fear of loss. I knew I was leaving a company, where I felt comfortable and appreciated by my colleagues and management. On the other side, even though I am 27 years old and some people would say it is still young, I was afraid of it being too late for such a big change. How was I going to learn so many new skills in such a short time? How is it even possible?
I was once on a phone call with a candidate who seemed to match perfectly with my client’s job description. As usual, I started my qualification call by a presentation of my client’s technical environment and company culture. Then we got to the candidate’s work experiences, the more we got into it, the more I was convinced that he was the ‘perfect’ guy for my client.
He explained to me that he originally majored in accounting and he was used to be an accountant for 5 years but he got bored of it, he wanted a real change and ended up attending a full stack web development Bootcamp called Le Wagon. Two years later he is a full stack developer for a young promising start up.
That’s how I discovered Le Wagon. After days of research about the Bootcamp, I decided to apply. I had a skype interview with Gus, Founder of Le Wagon Barcelona. I really appreciated that Gus not only wanted to evaluate if I was going to be a good element for Le Wagon, but also wanted to evaluate if Le Wagon was going to be the right choice for me.
Three month ago, my job was to recruit web developers who would do things that I did not really understand. Today, I am able to develop my own web application using Ruby, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PostgreSQL. I still have a lot to learn but now I feel equipped to go on and continue to grow my skills in web development.
Going to Le Wagon was one of the best decisions I ever made.
Before the bootcamp, I worked in research in University, then for nearly three years in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) working with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders. In this role we used some apps and I collected, entered and managed data, and this all made my burgeoning interest in technology grow. While working in ABA was very rewarding, I came to a point where I knew I needed to d...
Going to Le Wagon was one of the best decisions I ever made.
Before the bootcamp, I worked in research in University, then for nearly three years in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) working with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders. In this role we used some apps and I collected, entered and managed data, and this all made my burgeoning interest in technology grow. While working in ABA was very rewarding, I came to a point where I knew I needed to do something else, and I knew I wanted to pursue something involving technology while still incorporating my interests and skills I already had.
I started taking courses on codeacademy to see if this was truly a path I wanted to go down; if I enjoyed it; if I was interested in it; if I was any good at it. I decided I did, but after a few months taking courses, I knew I wanted to go somewhere where I could truly be immersed in coding, and learn as much as I could possibly learn. So I started looking up bootcamps online, and all the reviews I read led me to Le Wagon.
Attending Le Wagon was a wonderful experience. I learned more than I ever thought possible over the course of 9 weeks. Now I can say I am a Full-Stack Developer, thanks to my experience at Le Wagon.
My favorite part of the course was the group projects at the end. They put us in a position where we were free to be creative and apply our new coding skills to this process. While we were coding these apps by ourselves, we still had the support of all the teachers/TAs. They were ready to answer any questions we had as well as help guide us to a conclusion if we needed it without totally giving away the answer to solve the problem, so we could be guided to figure it out ourselves.
Overall I definitely recommend Le Wagon if you are looking to immerse yourself in coding and especially if you want to make a change in your career.
I was very surprised by the overall experience at Le Wagon since I didn't look up for any references and only knew the existence of Le Wagon and IronHack. I chose Le Wagon only because their PDF looked better haha and honestly couldn't be happier with my choice!

First because they have a buddy system, which is so powerful for your learning! Having someone different every day by your side can enrich the way you approach problems and give you different perspectives about logical thinking.
Second because you have a plataform in which you can see all lectures material and challenges you have to do. It is so organized and you can revisit any time you want, even after the course.
Third because at the end of the bootcamp, you build two web app in group. It is good to learn how you'd work in real life with team members and also to consolidate all the learning. And if you're feeling confident, you can search for diiferent features (that you didn't learn at the course) to use in your app and have all the help from the teachers to implement them with you.
So, if you're in doubt about which bootcamp to do, I would definetely recommend Le Wagon! :)
Honestly, it was an amazing two months.
I started the bootcamp with very little coding experience and I am just astonished how I got through this quite dense program.
At first, you can get a bit scared by the amount of information you will need to digest on a daily basis but actually they have nailed the pedagogy behind it: 1h30 morning class, 6h exercise with a buddy and then some small daily exercise to do at the end of the day to memorise the main po...

But all of this wouldn't be possible with out the five-stars staff at the Paris bootcamp… All the teachers, teachers assistants and the main staff are la crème de la crème. As soon as you start the program, you sense a sort of "family feeling" because everybody is ready to help each other. If you are having issues, the teachers are there to guide you and not give an easy answer, that makes a big difference.
On top of that, the community and event staff are on fire – organising events on a weekly basis in order for each batch to know each other better but as well with external guests with whom we can exchange on many topics like "go freelance", "how to set up your first startup", "how to manage your finance" etc... When I decided to undertake that bootcamp, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do afterwards (PM, Dev or stay in my field of Marketing) and although I have continue in Marketing, I can finally have a full conversation with the tech/product team and have them completely understand my needs and be much more efficient. Fully recommended!
As part of my Business School master, I had the opportunity to learn a lot of things doing several internships as a strategy consultant. However, I had the feeling that it was absolutely not the field in which I wanted to work in the future. I started to listen to some podcasts about the French startups environment and I found an interview of Boris and Romain Paillard, the two Le Wagon co-founders.

As part of my Business School master, I had the opportunity to learn a lot of things doing several internships as a strategy consultant. However, I had the feeling that it was absolutely not the field in which I wanted to work in the future. I started to listen to some podcasts about the French startups environment and I found an interview of Boris and Romain Paillard, the two Le Wagon co-founders. This interview was clearly an eye-opener and I felt that coding was something I really wanted to learn. Therefore, I did my last internship in a startup specialized in food delivery as a data analyst. I could learn some skills about SQL and I really loved it.
Consequently, I decided to start Le Wagon coding bootcamp in order to get hard skills and find a job in tech. This decision was one of the best I have ever taken in my whole life. Despite the fact that I have learnt how to code in several programming languages, Le Wagon made me live an incredible human experience, meeting and working with so many different people with the buddy system. The teachers are always there to help you when you need them and at the end you can build by yourself a real project, whether it is a mobile app or a website.
Thanks to Le Wagon I shared an amazing adventure with a great team of people and I will launch my start-up meeting my co-founder alongside the final project.
Before joining Le Wagon, I was working as a Junior PM in a tech start-up. I was very interesting on learning how to code, so i tried to learn by myself but the overwhelming level of information I found on the web and the apparent difficulty made me give up quickly.
This is where Le Wagon Paris came in. Honestly, the program is such that you can learn very efficiently and acquire all the necessary knowledge to let you stand on your own feet.

The environment was super great, I had fun everyday. In only 2 months I meet a lot of amazing people that inspired me, whether it was during the classes or the afterworks.
I'm extremely happy and grateful for the experience. I couldn't have made a better use of my time.
Being a business school student not on the job market yet, my few job experiences made me realize one thing : I might have screwed up my education orientation.
Thankfully, some short-length programs are available to make up for that, and that's when Le Wagon showed up.
The program is only 9 weeks long and can easily fit in a tight schedule with a few arrangements made (i'm still a student so obviously that was easier for me).

I didn't really know what to expect from it, as i had no damn clue how coding worked even though i've always been tech-savvy.
But oh boy was i in for a surprise, and a great one.
The teaching-staff is highly competent and partially composed of former students as well as full-time teachers. The building and classroom give a nice atmosphere to focus and work, and the curriculum is made so that you get to meet new people and participate in few activities that will make each week unique.
It's been a month since Le Wagon is over and i'm already missing it and the numerous people i've met there and probably won't see again.
Would definitely do it again if i had not already gained the technical skills taught there (because the program is that good).
Le Wagon helped me develop new and useful skills, and gave me the tools to rethink my long-term professionnal and personnal goals.
One downside however: i might have developed a caffeine addiction.
After 7 years working as a digital project manager in web agencies, I decided it was about time to look behind the curtain and understand how the websites I was working on were made.
I was constantly asked by my clients how long it took to correct or build a feature, and quite often I was completely mistaken. Even though I was trying my best to understand what the developers were saying, I realized I needed to experiment this world myself and learn everything from scratch.

And after these two amazing months in Le Wagon, I have quit my job and I’m now searching a job as a developer ! I know that the road ahead is long, and I have still so many things to learn, but I know that I’ve got all the tools needed to keep on learning the right way.
Never learned so much in such a short period. I decided to make a career change to coding because I felt I needed a big change in my life. Before enrolling the bootcamp I looked at all the reviews from various websites and Le Wagon was the only bootcamp that had great reviews. Then I decided to join the bootcamp and I’ve been to an interview with Alex Tombeur, the UK Manager who was extremely helpful to explain me the course structure and the steps to join the bootcamp.

In less than 9 weeks I managed to work in a team of four and created 2 complex web products. Also, the staff have been helpful, very well prepared teachers and teaching assistants. Throughout the bootcamp I've made a lot of friends and they were like my second family.
I had the opportunity to attend many events and to be introduced to many people thanks to Le Wagon driver.
The post-bootcamp support is very helpful. The week after completing the bootcamp, Le Wagon arranged a hiring week event at their office in London where I had the opportunity to speak with recruiters and employees looking for junior web developers.
Finally, studying at Le Wagon was the best thing I have ever done and to be honest the bootcamp was much more than I expected.
I graduated from Le Wagon, London in September 2019 and immensely enjoyed it. The entire experience from start to finish was fantastic: the teachers and everyone working there are very supportive and helpful, the lectures are broken down nicely for everyone to understand and the additional information provided on their platform along the way is perfectly done.

I am really impressed of how the course was structured and what they (and we) managed to achieve in these 9 weeks. My most favourite part was the projects weeks, where we got to work in a team (I was in a team of four) and build projects just like we would in a work environment and then present the final project in front of everyone. It was a proud moment for all of us as it's unbelievable to imagine where we had started from and what we had achieved in such a short time.
