During my experience at the agency, I had the opportunity to work often on back-end and HTML when localizing sites. This experience gave me the motivation to get into the world of the Web.
I chose Le Wagon because its training is certifying (in France) and its pedagogy is very effective.
I don’t regret my choice, it is one of the best experience I had in my life!
During the training, I discovered the frontend which satisfies my creative side. It helps me to move towards front-end developer positions in Hong Kong.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support4.0Instructors5.0 -

To fix this I did Le Wagon full time bootcamp. In only 9 weeks I learned to code, made friends, and got good contacts in the tech industry.
Le Wagon teaches you the basics of coding, with which you can easily continue progressing and discovering new "gems" (pre-coded applications) that allow you to do almost anything you want.
And it is also a great way to enter into the digital start-up world.
I strongly recommend this bootcamp. The teachers and staff are great, friendly and fun!

Coding was always a skill I wanted to add to my professional quiver and I decided to join Le Wagon bootcamp following all the good feedbacks I heard about it.With more than 10 years of experience in Marketing in the cosmetics industry and absolutely no experience in coding, this 9-week program went beyond my expectations!- The learning path is very well structured and supported by an amazing lifetime access learning platform full of useful resources
- The teaching team is both highly qualified and passionate about coding. They are always ready to coach & help you in one to one and this is one of the main asset of the bootcamp as I don’t think I would have learnt so much in only 9 weeks without their help.
- Focus is on practice to make sure all the concepts are understood and assimilated as most of the day is dedicated to practical exercises with a great system of feedback telling you how well you performed.
- The program is very team oriented as you face your daily coding challenges everyday with a different “buddy” and then work in teams of four for your final projects. To me, it’s the perfect way to build strong bonds with your classsmates!
- Last but not least le Wagon team does a great job at connecting people through the events their organize weekly for the students: from the first welcome drink to the last demo day party, everything is made for you to know each other and develop your network. And it doesn’t stop there as you become part of Le Wagon Alumni that now counts more than 3000 students over the world who stay connected to each other through the many slack channels of le Wagon and of course through the many events organized by Le Wagon.
Thanks to Le Wagon, I now know how to code, how to design my own projects but I also met incredible people and made great friends! This has been one of the most incredible learning journey I have ever had. Some weeks may have been hard and pretty intense (hey it’s a bootcamp after all!) but if had to do it again I would not think twice about it!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Before Le Wagon, I never coded a single line of code. I did the 6 months part-time training. Development and programation is the main purpose of my work and I felt there was a gap between me and the developers because we could not speak the same language. During Le Wagon training, I perfectly learn how to code and even more : I learned how to worked with teamate and a methodology to always increase my knowledge in development. The success of this formation is due to the teacher team (always 4/5 teacher by session) and their benevolence. The framework is also amazing : the large jungle helps give a very relaxing setting :)Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

I tried several times to learn on my own using online resources, but found it difficult to stay self-motivated.
Le Wagon provided me with the structure and intensity I needed to learn quickly. The best part of the experience, beyond the traditional lecture format, is that you learn by doing. You spend most of the day practicing coding, and applying the skills you learned during the morning lectures. The latter part of the bootcamp is dedicated to building out full-scale projects, replicating the experience you would have as a real developer.
The course is rigorous and it will challenge you, but that is exactly why it is so effective. All of the instructors were incredibly helpful and patient in helping you get unstuck throughout the exercises and projects. If you're ready to put in the effort, you will come out of this program with the skills and knowledge to grow your professional career.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Instead of focusing on eye catching features and technology names, it focuses on giving some really solid basics on the MVC desgin pattern and product lifecycle "the Github way". And that's all you need truly, to ship ton of product.
The schedule is awesome (the best benefit of the program), the content is great, the atmosphere is just perfect. It's all you need to be 100% percent on learning everyday.
If you want to develop products, code your own product or get more experience in doing so (e.g. for Product Owner jobs), I can't recommand enough. Forget the fancy React stuff, just learn a proven way to ship functionnal apps.

I needed to gain rapidly technical skills and to get to know this booming geeky world.
Le Wagon perfectly matched this goal and I can only recommend it to anyone in the same situation. At Le Wagon, I’ve experienced the most exciting learning experience. Each day is about discovering something new, getting to know a new person and exchanging ideas with smart people from incredibly diversified backgrounds. The teaching is extremely well-thought making it both accessible to complete beginners and exciting to students with more advanced knowledge.
I am convinced that today being able to code, to query a database, to design a product in sprint mode or to pitch an app idea are extremely valuable skills not only to geeks and developers but also to anyone in a business function.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

While in high school in the ‘60s I learned Fortran and later as a web consultant at a photography school in Paris I worked on SEO visibility in the early days of the internet in the ‘90s where HTML pages had to be tweaked to the algorithms of the different competing search engines. In 2019 “Le Wagon” was my personal pivot, a challenge to learn how to code during their 9-week bootcamp bringing people from various professions and backgrounds into a dynamic environment with the goal of working in the start-up economy.
Learning at the bootcamp was intense - daily presentations to learn code, followed by exercises working with a different buddy each day, ending with a hour-long ‘live code’ session. And flash cards to review the course content each day. By the end of the second week, many of us were dreaming code in our sleep. An excellent teaching staff and a pedagogical program that has proven itself since the creation of ‘Le Wagon’. They have developed an environment where students of all technical levels can learn the tools needed to build web applications. Just excellent !
As “Le Wagon” simply states, “Change your life, learn to code”.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

9 weeks in a batch of 30 people from all walks of life in a studious and ultra positive atmosphere. And that’s what Le Wagon is all about: mothers, students, car salesmen, costume designers, lighting designers? All at the same level.
We talked about database, algorithm, back-end, front-end, MVC, Ruby on Rails, Javascript, Postgresql, Heroku and many more! A lot of terms that were not very well known at the beginning but that have no more secrets for me today.
But we worked a lot, really, to finally succeed in creating a web app project in groups. I wouldn’t have imagined at the beginning to succeed in all this. Having worked in management control for several years, I can say that my reconversion is well under way!
But to achieve this, we had excellent teachers and a very operational and highly effective teaching approach.
Thank you to the whole team of Le Wagon Paris for their kindness, their good mood and for all the beers :)
