Le Wagon

I am an anthropologist from Argentina but since I moved to Barcelona three years ago, I started working in customer service and technical support roles.I wanted to change towards roles that present more complex tasks and that demand a greater intellectual challenge. I was curious about the areas of Digital Marketing, UX and UD but finally, I decided on web programming because I was interested in having the creative possibility of building web apps from scratch.Doing the Bootcamp at Le Wagon was an unforgettable experience. It was a very intensive program that in a very short time transformed and trained me to have a mentality closer to logical thinking. The program is fundamentally oriented to learn backend with Ruby on Rails, the teachers were very close and helped us a lot throughout the journey. The energy that was generated in the group was very positive and stimulating! Totally recommended! Read less

 Before joining Le Wagon I finished law school and worked in big law firms, but most recently in a legal tech startup. I realized how much power lies in the digitalization of the legal market and decided that I have to learn how to code myself in order to drive this development.
Furthermore I was also always fascinated by coding and it's endless opportunities and finally wanted to learn "the magic" myself.
I liked the hybrid format of my batch, starting remotely and finishing on campus. I really enjoyed the vibe of learning a lot in a relatively short time while meeting awesome people on the way, this includes the people from my batch but also the whole staff of Le Wagon that were very supportive. Kudos! Seeing the final project build up over the intense last two weeks and presenting it on demo day was a great experience.  Read less

I entered the Le Wagon bootcamp in Tokyo with two objectives: career change (to become a professional web developer) and take advantage of the bootcamp connections to land my first tech job. I got everything I hoped for and more from this experience. While it’s impossible to learn absolutely everything during this short time, the program leaves you with all the necessary tools to continue your coding journey. The teachers do a great job to prepare you for the future challenges and help you build the confidence that you can find solutions to any problems you may face. I honestly couldn’t imagine a group of more supportive and helpful people. I took part in the full time curriculum, which was a very intense experience but at the same time rewarding, fun and refreshing (back to school feeling, 9 weeks of focusing solely on upskilling). I got a job with one of the hiring partners we talked to during career week. If you want to change your life and can afford the bootcamp, go for it. Read less

I got my first experience in coding copy/pasting VBA and SQL to automate processes and work with data, I really enjoyed it but felt like I was only touching the surface. So after 6 years in sales and marketing in Berlin (Amazon, nu3 and H24), I decided to change career path and fully dive into coding. I joined Le Wagon for its excellent reputation. What impressed me was the cadence at which we learned each topic, I would have not manage this learning on my own! The teachers and assistants provide great support, they ensure you keep up with the pace and have a proper understanding of each topic. In addition to the classes, I found the big alumni network and career service super valuable to give you a direction post-bootcamp. Read less

Attended 9-week data science bootcamp in LeWagon Bordeaux. Would 100% recommand it to any would-be data scientist looking for a clear, comprehensive, well-driven bootcamp.
In just 9 weeks, Le Wagon Bordeaux data science bootcamp taught 10 students (including myself) everything we needed to know to envision a career switch to data science. I'm so glad I picked Le Wagon Bordeaux for this bootcamp. You can go there your eyes closed. Read less

As a business student with a strong taste for technology and design, attending Le Wagon Montreal has been such a great decision for taking my passions to the next level. Before attending the bootcamp, I had some basic knowledge in programming but did not ever find the motivation to go further and to work on real & interesting projects. After these 2 intensive months, I can confirm that everything I've learned has opened the doors to the development industry, which is exactly what I was hoped for. I am now able to have technical conversations with developers, which feels great.The bootcamp is nothing like the university, but you will likely learn way more than at university, and retain more information after the bootcamp. Why? Because of the combination between the smartly designed challenges & classes, the friendly & passionate atmosphere, and the final team projects that involve using all of the skills learned in the previous classes. After the bootcamp, I still have to finish my 3rd year at uni, but I use my free time to continue learning new programming skills on the side. Thanks to the bootcamp I feel confident in learning any new programming language or skills, and I have found some freelancing projects that are starting to add up in my CV. As a piece of advice for prospective students: make sure that you are willing to commit 100%. Everything goes very quickly; try to use every second wisely during the bootcamp to learn, make mistakes, have fun, have a chat with the great teachers and staff! Finally, after the bootcamp, do not go back to your "normal" life. The skills that you will have learned during these intensive 9 weeks are irreversible; take advantage of them wisely and improve on them immediately!

Before joining Le Wagon, I was the Business Development Manager for Papier. Having worked at a number of tech start-ups, I was keen to learn to code for myself. Le Wagon offered the perfect balance of challenge and support, with a really well structured curriculum. I especially loved spending the last 2 weeks of the course working in our project groups and seeing everything we had learnt really come together! The team at Le Wagon are the friendliest, and made every single day (even the tough ones!) so pleasant. Read less

I was doing something completely different than software development or software engineering. But when I discovered software development, I instantly fell in love with it. I love the tech industry, how versatile is and how you can constantly grow and learn.I wanted to learn to code because is one of the most useful skills of the 21st century . I think this industry will open many opportunities for me.I started self-learning, and I did some online courses but I was a bit stuck. I knew the syntax, how does it work and the basic programming concepts, but I didn’t know how to build a project from scratch, so I needed some help.After I have completed some online courses I had 2 choices , do I want to go back to school for another 4 years to get a computer since degree or do I want to go to a coding bootcamp. I definitely didn’t want to go back to school for another 4 years.One of the things I was really worried about was, I will be taken seriously if i don’t have a computer science degree, and I have thought about it for a while, I have spoke with a lot of people and I quickly realized that there are so many people in this industry who come from so many different paths of life. Obviously a computer science is still currently the most popular way to become a software developer but definitely it’s not the only way.So I decided to join Le Wagon, an international coding bootcamp. I did a full time course in China, it was very intensive and very challenging but I love the teachers, the set up, the whole course material, the teaching style of the teachers. Le wagon really gives you the support to become a real software engineer. After I have finished Le wagon course I was able to develop a project from scratch, to deploy it to production and I was confident I can handle a developer position. After one month I got my first job as a developer in a company with more than 3000 employees and more than 600 engineers.The most interesting part is that, after I completed the 9 weeks with Le wagon I am still learning with them. You have the course material and anytime you can rewatch a lecture, their teachers offer you support when you are stuck at your job. I feel that they are always there for me. To join Le wagon was the best decision I have ever made. My life changed radically and I really appreciate what they have done for me. I highly recommend it! Read less

Before joining Le Wagon, I was working into logistics field. I had a lot responsibilities (which I liked) and a good salary but I always felt like something was missing. A friend told me about programming, how great and interesting it was so I did some online courses to know a bit more about it.Seeing all the possibilities that it could offer, I was really tempted to give it a try. Obviously, I hesitated a while before leaving my comfort zone but finally I took the plunge and applied for Le Wagon Web Development bootcamp in Madrid. 
Two weeks after finishing the bootcamp, I believe this was one of the best decisions I ever made. One thing for sure, this experience is certainly one of the most challenging thing I have ever done. The students need to be very committed in order to really take advantage of it. The teachers and assistants take the time to explain and they support you through the whole process. The program is really well structured and it's a great thing for people who never coded before (like me). A lot of people who did the bootcamp said it but I have to admit that it's quite amazing the quantity of knowledge you can get in so short period of time. Also, you have the occasion to meet many great people from different backgrounds and countries. After the 9 weeks of intense coding, we had a « career week » where you can learn different tips from different people on how to get into the web development market. 
Now, I am looking for a job where I can apply what I learned. Another great point is that you have access to a huge amount of information and platforms to support you (not to mention you have a lifetime access to the Le Wagon community). All I can say is that if you are considering changing you career path and becoming a developer, the bootcamp of Le Wagon is certainly the best way to start your journey! Read less

It took me a while to decide to do the Bootcamp, but once I was there, the only regret I had was not doing it sooner! I decided to do Le Wagon's Bootcamp in Lisbon because I wanted to know how everything worked behind the digital world scenes and to be independent with what I could create with this knowledge. Spoiler alert! I’ve got what I asked for and much more. The course is very demanding, so make sure you have the time to dedicate your full attention to it, but the rewards are totally worth it! The curriculum is broad and relevant and their teaching methodology is going to challenge you and push you to progress each day. The best part is that you’ll always feel supported. I think the community at Le Wagon’s Lisbon was what kept me going, the teachers are incredibly knowledgeable and talented and the staff is so supportive and kind. My teammates are also such legends, I’m really thankful that I’m now part of this community for life. Yes, you’ll have lifetime access to all the course curriculum (and its updates), career resources, and an extensive slack alumni/teachers community. If you’re like me and you’re looking for an accelerated transition into the tech industry my advice is to just do it.  Read less

Le Wagon was a very rewarding training. More than a classic training in Web development, we acquire knowledge but also methods of analysis and work. The teachers know how to explain and make you understand the exercises, the lessons, the life on the boot camp and especially the life after the training because they were in our shoes a few months/years before. This is what makes Le Wagon a complete and inspiring training for all students. I now feel able to continue learning on my own and apply for job offers. Read less

The course was incredibly well structured and I felt everything I learned was relevant, no time was wasted. You need to give the course your full attention as it is very fast-paced and intense but the pay-offs are huge—you also learn how and where to learn more and this sets you up really well for development roles in an industry that is ever-changing. The teachers are incredibly knowledgable and talented, there was never a question they couldn't answer and the staff are really helpful and supportive. I met lots of fantastic people and had the best time! I still have access to the whole curriculum, career resources and an extensive slack alumni community and I believe the experience was excellent value for money. Read less

Following a few years of working in data related market research roles, I wanted to upgrade my technical skills to be better positioned for future roles. That is how I found Le Wagon! Over a period of 9 very intensive weeks, the structure of the bootcamp is designed for you to understand all the relevant information to become successful in the data science field with the help of amazing teachers and TAs. I also have the chance to access all the lectures after the bootcamp finished, which becomes extremely useful when preparing for interviews, working on my final project and building my portfolio.
Le Wagon has a huge alumni network where everyone is open to help with your code, job offers or just to have a chat. However, if you don’t feel confident enough at the end of the course to start networking, Careers Week gives you all the information to excel while networking, looking for a job or becoming an entrepreneur.  I highly recommend it!  Read less

Before joining the coding bootcamp at Le wegon Amsterdam last April 19, 2021, I was working in Child Care for 6 years, I wanted to change my career and wanted to be a Web Developer, that's when I found Le Wagon. I was in batch 626, I would say it is an intensive 9 weeks, it was hard for me for the first 3 weeks because I am a complete beginner but with the support of my TA's and my batchmates I became comfortable with coding. TA's at Le wagon are really great very profesional and friendly at the same time, they made me feel that I belong and that I will succeed. I trusted their system. Even though it's remote, i didn't feel alone and far, I learned to trust my self, my batchmates are the best as well, we always start our day talking to each other laughing and do silly things on camera, it feels like we've known each other for a long time. The schedules, the program, everything is just great, well planned and systematic. I learned a lot, from soft skills to technical skills. I am greatful that I joined Le Wagon and took the risk. I am so proud that I became a part of this Family. I definitely recommend Le Wagon to anyone who plans in changing their career. Read less
