I have a business background, and was working in the retail industry for a few years. I've always been curious about how products are built and how to develop products tailored to consumers' needs. I didn't have any previous knowledge of programming but thought it could be interesting to learn how to code. A friend of mine told me about Le Wagon, and after checking the program and reviews from previous students, it seemed like a great option, so I quit my job and joined the bootcamp.
The bootcamp was very intensive and demanding. It really pushed me forward and made me step out of my comfort zone but it was totally worth it. I now know that anyone can learn how to code, it just takes commitment, effort, passion, and being surrounded by the right people and environment. And Le Wagon provided just that.
For me, a crucial part of my experience were the amazing teachers and TAs. They are very supportive, understanding your problems and helping you, adapting to your reasoning and own way of solving the challenges instead of just giving you their solution. This really helped me to feel more confident and understand things better.
Another great aspect are your fellow students. They know what you're going through, everyone supports each other, and the environment is really collaborative and friendly. This makes it so much easier to go through those days when you feel more lost or insecure about learning how to code. Pair programming is also a great feature of the bootcamp, allowing you to work with someone different each day, and helping each other. There's also time to relax and have fun together.
The last two weeks are very challenging and rewarding since you develop a real product in a team of 3 or 4 students. After prototyping our web app during demo day, I felt proud and amazed with what everyone achieved in 9 weeks!
Overall, I recommend Le Wagon to anyone who wants to learn how to code! You will be amazed by what you can do in 9 weeks and challenge yourself!
Before I took the jump and booked onto batch #190 in London I was a full time swim coach with no prior coding experience. Now, having graduated two months ago, I am Junior front-end engineer at an awesome sales start up in London.

Before I took the jump and booked onto batch #190 in London I was a full time swim coach with no prior coding experience. Now, having graduated two months ago, I am Junior front-end engineer at an awesome sales start up in London. The course at Le Wagon can genuinely change your career path and your life as it gives you the technical knowledge and team work experience that employees are looking for from their next Junior Developer. On the course the teachers (most are past students) will happily help you with any problem, ranging from a small typo to a error that takes half the day to fix. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Le Wagon and encourage anyone who wants to gain the technical knowledge to become a Junior Developer or set up their own business to apply and get on with it!
I graduated from Le Wagon at the end of Nov 2018, and now I’m working at a FinTech startup as a full-stack developer in Japan. Looking back, I’m sure Le Wagon is the best choice if you really want to change your life.
Here are the things I liked:
- Extremely well-organized learning materials and resources, which you’ll think of like a bible even after
- Well balanced challenges given every day, keeping you concentrated regardless of your initial skill-level

I was a banker in investment bank before joining Le Wagon. Though I didn’t have any coding skill, I really wanted to change my career and my life, and Le Wagon made it.
Please let me tell finally that the most important thing is… your heart!
9 weeks go really fast with intensive experiences!!
I’ve always been interested in learning programming, and after finishing my bachelor with a business major, it seemed to be just the perfect time to actually start.
I pretty quickly found out that I would prefer a full-time bootcamp over self-learning, and that’s how I ended up in Milan starting the 9-week LeWagon full stack bootcamp.

I’ve always been interested in learning programming, and after finishing my bachelor with a business major, it seemed to be just the perfect time to actually start.
I pretty quickly found out that I would prefer a full-time bootcamp over self-learning, and that’s how I ended up in Milan starting the 9-week LeWagon full stack bootcamp.
Your usual day at LeWagon begins with lectures in the morning, where new concepts are introduced along comprehensive examples. In the afternoon you then have to solve related problem sets, in order to deepen that knowledge.
From the first day on, Francesco and his team were doing their best to make this experience as nice as possible. Every concept was taught thoroughly and during the problem session, no question remained unanswered.
This is where I also see the biggest benefit of bootcamps over self-learning in general. With the 1:1 on-demand help of the teaching assistants, you are able to learn way faster.
The highlight of the bootcamp though was the last three weeks, where the 16-people course was split up into 4 groups. After only 6 weeks, we were already able to program an Airbnb clone within one week. The great thing about this project was also, that you had to combine all your prior learnings and connect them in order to make your first "full-stack” project successful.
In the following two weeks, we took that even further, with the individual groups coding their own apps, so completely independent of any lecture script. That’s where I also learned the most and the assistance of the experienced teachers is very valuable.
In general, LeWagon was a huge boost for my career. I started coding in a professional working environment right away after the course, without any problems.
Thanks again to you Francesco and the whole LeWagon Milan team!
I must confess that my expectations were incredibly high before I start the bootcamp, but in reality the course was even better than I was expecting. It starts hard, and that's necessary for you to embrace the complexity of the program, but once you understand how things work, you can do anything you can without much effort. The reality is that every one of us build super amazing applications within 2 weeks, much faster than many professional web developers. I was even able to build my per...
I must confess that my expectations were incredibly high before I start the bootcamp, but in reality the course was even better than I was expecting. It starts hard, and that's necessary for you to embrace the complexity of the program, but once you understand how things work, you can do anything you can without much effort. The reality is that every one of us build super amazing applications within 2 weeks, much faster than many professional web developers. I was even able to build my personal website in 2 days, after finish the bootcamp: https://hugoabreu.pt
So, if you're looking to become a web developer, or like me, to embrace a career of technical project manager, Le Wagon is your place. I did my course in Tokyo and I can only recommend the staff from there!
Le Wagon has officially changed my life.
I hadn’t done too much research before I applied to Le Wagon. I had read some reviews online and everyone had amazing things to say. Honestly, there were soo many good reviews that I started fearing that it was too good to be true. But now, having finished the course I can say I was not disappointed. In all honesty, I wish I could wake up every day and head to class. The 9 weeks are tough, I mean if you are learning something that could be...
Le Wagon has officially changed my life.
I hadn’t done too much research before I applied to Le Wagon. I had read some reviews online and everyone had amazing things to say. Honestly, there were soo many good reviews that I started fearing that it was too good to be true. But now, having finished the course I can say I was not disappointed. In all honesty, I wish I could wake up every day and head to class. The 9 weeks are tough, I mean if you are learning something that could be taught in a span of 2 years in 9 weeks, can you expect anything less. Some days went by so fast while other days I was so overwhelmed with the coding language. There were also times of stress and exhausting, but nothing that I couldn’t overcome at the end of the day.
The reason why I believe Le Wagon works and would highly recommend it is:
1 - Students become teachers
Le wagon has built up a family of alumni who are so passionate and believe in the lesson that ex-students come back to class and become your TAs. From day one, you meet people that can relate and understand everything you are going through. In addition, it is super encouraging to know that soon you could also be teaching the next batch.
2- The Setup
It’s like waking up every morning to take part of a startup. Tables are communal, there are plants on every desk, there is an open floor plan, everyone can talk to everyone, and people work at their own pace. Want to take a 2-hour lunch break? No one is going to say anything, as long as your work is done by live code. Also, free beers at the end of a day is always a plus
3- The Final Project
The opportunity to be able to pitch an idea, and have the idea chosen to be built is amazing. I was so lucky to have a fantastic team to work with. During these 2 weeks, you learn so much about yourself, coding, working in teams, and what the future can hold.
If you are reading this review it means that you at least have some interest in learning to code. Good! It is amazing!
Le Wagon made me realise a couple of things. The first thing is: knowing how to code and how developers think and work is indispensable if you want to start you own startup and/or manage developers.
The second thing is: if you put in the time you can become a developer. Before the bootcamp I was a Teacher/Freelance filmmaker and I never really saw progr...

Le Wagon made me realise a couple of things. The first thing is: knowing how to code and how developers think and work is indispensable if you want to start you own startup and/or manage developers.
The second thing is: if you put in the time you can become a developer. Before the bootcamp I was a Teacher/Freelance filmmaker and I never really saw programming as something I could do even though I have done some coding during middle school and university. Then I joined batch 173 of the Le Wagon bootcamp and felt right at home. It was such a diverse, friendly and motivated group that it felt like hanging out with friends. Don't get me wrong. You have to work hard. But you are working hard together and supporting each other during the bootcamp.
The teachers and TA's are a great plus as well. The teachers know the industry and the programs you will work with inside and out and the TA's are just like you but with a couple months more experience. They did the same bootcamp and can relate with the problems you might run into.
They teach you not just how to work with Ruby and Ruby on Rails but also the knowledge and skills you need to learn other programming languages. They give you a solid base to develop yourself from.
Le Wagon starts as a bootcamp but becomes a supportive and positive community. It has been a couple of months and I am still in contact with a lot of people from my batch.
I have made some lifelong friends and have a sound foundation in coding. I would recommend this bootcamp to anyone!
本人出国党,坐标成都。明年将于伦斯勒理工就读计算机科学专业。
为了让我的申请更出彩并提前准备大学的学习,我高二暑假在升学顾问建议下参加了Le Wagon编程训练营。
虽然在内地,但我们那一届的学员百分之八十都来自世界各地,学习环境当然是英文。
课程的内容主要是全栈开发,使用的框架是Ruby on Rails。
即使我之前有一定的编程基础,这个课程对我来说也是有挑战的。每天学习的强度固然大,但老师和助教都会很热心地帮助你。学员也都相当认真,在这种环境下你能很高效的学习。勤苦一天下来,想一想当天的进步和收获,劳累就只是过眼云烟。
排除掉所有硬核的知识或技术不说,Le Wagon最重要的是让我增强了团队合作的能力。在来Le Wagon之前,我一直是个独狼程序员,从来没有和他人一起写过代码。在Le Wagon学习的两个月内,我发现自己团队合作的能力与日俱增。
我们每天下午都会和另一位同学两人一组,完成某些程序。与同学讨论的过程非常锻炼表达想法的能力。除了最后的产品,我们有定期需要团队合作的项目。在合作中,每个人...

As UX designer who owns a startup in online education with a background in industrial engineering, I wanted to enhance my knowledge of coding in order to understand my product better and strengthen our developing manpower. The reviews of Le Wagon were great but what convinced me to go there was the testimony of Le Wagon alumna. The structure is very well organized so that you learn in the best conditions with the support of tutors and the community. Once the boot camp is done, you have access to all the material that was given to you including the videos of the lessons that were given to you. But what truly makes it amazing is that you then belong to an international community of game changers in the web industry and else. This has been a life changing experience for me and many others.
The lack of negative reviews I found online gave me very high expectations about the bootcamp. Le Wagon managed to surpass them all. Learning new languages? Coding a fully functional website? All of that in just 9 weeks? Believe it or not, it is possible at le Wagon.
From writing your first line of code to building your final project and see it come to life, the amount of knowledge you get during these 9 weeks is truly impressive. You would be amazed by how much you can learn and...

More than just a school, when you join Le Wagon you become part of a community, a family some would say. It’s not all about coding. Le Wagon organizes bi-weekly yoga sessions, events and meet-ups with entrepreneurs to name a few. The working environment is so great that I decided to become a teaching assistant and pass on the knowledge I had just acquired. Leaving Le Wagon was just not an option for me.
All in all, joining Le Wagon is one of the best decision I’ve ever made. Make most out of everyday you spend there because it will be over before you know it..
A life-changing experience, I still can’t believe what I’ve learned in such short of time. I can honestly say my expectation was overly exceeded. When I applied, I was just expecting to gain coding skills which obviously makes sense since it’s a code Bootcamp, what other can you expect right? I mean that’s all I was looking for, but then Le Wagon happened! On top of coding skills, I gained two other very important skills, which are problem-solving skill and can do attitude and I can ...
A life-changing experience, I still can’t believe what I’ve learned in such short of time. I can honestly say my expectation was overly exceeded. When I applied, I was just expecting to gain coding skills which obviously makes sense since it’s a code Bootcamp, what other can you expect right? I mean that’s all I was looking for, but then Le Wagon happened! On top of coding skills, I gained two other very important skills, which are problem-solving skill and can do attitude and I can confidently say these two skills have had a positive impact in my life since then.
So, it all began when I was working on my final project at university which was also my business idea. It involved making a business plan for an application, though it annoyed me that I didn’t understand the technical part of my idea and that I wasn’t going to contribute much on this side. But then the idea came in my mind, what if I can learn it? That’s how I started searching and exploring my options. I found Le Wagon and at first I was very sceptical and thought it was too good to be true, mainly because all reviews were positive, I mean ritually Le Wagon’s every public appearance is positive but then I took my chances and went for it, after having a Skype call with Guillaume (who is Bootcamp Manager at Le Wagon Montreal). That was one of the best decision I ever took!
During Bootcamp, I loved the entrepreneurial StartUp mood environment we studied in, every day was different and unique, and the most exciting part was our final project where we had to come up with an idea and actually implement it in just ten days. My three teammates and I came up with an idea to build a chatbot that can recommend the perfect gift in just a few minutes and within the user’s budget (Regalo that was the name of the app). The journey to build the app was breathtaking, mainly because we couldn’t believe that we were able to do it and we were! We did it! I mean I can go on and go on. And Yes, I would definitely recommend anyone to attend Le wagon Bootcamp. It’s an intense nine weeks, It’s not meant to be easy but it’s definitely doable. My advice to you is to have a positive attitude and don’t give up on yourself, I can do it, You can do it!
I spent many late nights and weekends trying to teach myself how to code, over many months, with very little results. I was sure that if I quit my job and dedicated myself full time to learning how to code that I could teach myself properly, and certainly not pay money for a bootcamp when there were so many online resources. After quitting my job and spending a couple of weeks of long days in a library teaching myself, I had spent most of that time stuck on tiny coding problems, and I knew...
I spent many late nights and weekends trying to teach myself how to code, over many months, with very little results. I was sure that if I quit my job and dedicated myself full time to learning how to code that I could teach myself properly, and certainly not pay money for a bootcamp when there were so many online resources. After quitting my job and spending a couple of weeks of long days in a library teaching myself, I had spent most of that time stuck on tiny coding problems, and I knew that the only way I could progress quickly was by having a teacher. After doing research on what the top bootcamp in Melbourne was, I settled on Le Wagon.
I’m so happy that I did!! Le Wagon surpassed my expectations, I had expected non-communicative teachers who would lecture in the morning and bail during exercises. Instead, I experienced some of the best teaching in my adult life, and the ratio of students to teachers/teacher’s assistants was so good that I had as much face to face time for help with exercises that I needed - in fact, asking for help was encouraged. While the bootcamp moved quickly, the teachers provided all the foundational tools I would need to explore complex topics further in my own time, and even sometimes provided additional after-hours support. I am so impressed with Le Wagon and recommend it to everyone that I meet!
