Le Wagon

Before the LeWagon Bootcamp I was unemployed, and not sure what I really wanted to do in life ! I heard of the company and coding from a close friend and I immediately got interested !!
Now that the bootcamp is over I really know that this was the right choice for my future ! 
I loved every single day, and coming to the end, I’m sure I made the right choice by choosing Le Wagon. Thanks to the excellent and best TA’s , who were there for us with all their patience and professionalism during the weeks!!

Who would have thought that learning to code could be fast, easy and fun. I attended the Web Development bootcamp at Le Wagon Lisbon and I am still amazed with everything I have learned and created.
These were some 9 intensive weeks, filled with lectures, challenges, projects and events. The bootcamp is structure in such a way that everything is connected and progression feels really natural and fluid. Every day you are partnered with a different person and together you work through the daily challenges, all with the help of really great teachers and TAs who are there for you.
The environment is also the best. From the infrastructures to the amazing staff and the all-around great mood, you will feel welcomed, supported and right at home. 
Coming from a completely different background (tourism), I had never coded before the bootcamp and always thought it would be something that was really hard to learn. Thanks to Le Wagon, I now know it's not and I can finally have the career change I wanted. You can do it too. Read less

I attended Le Wagon bootcamp in 2021. To this day I believe it was one of the best decisions I made for myself. I was one of the students who went from 0 to 100 in those intense 9weeks with nearly no prior knowledge when I joined. Curriculum was extensive and covered all aspects enabling us to graduate and present a web app that was built in the last 2 weeks of bootcamp in a group of 3 students.
Teachers were extremely supportive while also ensuring we get the best out of ourselves.
I always knew that the bootcamp is the first step into switching my career to software development and I will continue learning and developing my skills also after graduation, however that being said, I felt comfortable with my level of knowledge when I started my first job as software engineer, thanks to the challenging curriculum offered by Le Wagon and extraordinary teachers that made it possible.

I attended Le Wagon's remote's Web Development Course - Full-time from April 2022 to June 2002. What I got was beyond my expectatives. I've already heard of the "normal" path (IRL) but the remote was really intensive & high quality. From 9 to 6pm, we have little theory in the morning, then directly on coding challenges. Of course, it seems difficult, but:
1/ we have the main teacher + bunch of teacher's assistants always here to help us.
2/ we worked in team of 4, which is really great and that changes every days, so we can really "meet" all the students
3/ it is really practical to manage with the fact that we can study from wherever we want, as it is remote.
4/ the back office / student's platform is amazingly well built to follow our daily progress.

What I liked the most, was that despite the online, we really built strong links with the other students.

When ending Le Wagon, we have a great tools box, and can start whatever job as junior. They teach us how to think, organise, solve coding problems & give us the keys to - after le Wagon - dig into new other learnings. This is the most important. Of course, we don't know everything (far from it), but we can independently after le Wagon, learn by ourselves. There is also a career week at the end, which is very very helpful to make the transition from the Camp to the "back to reality".

I recommend Le Wagon, for everyone who: wants to become a dev, wants to build a firm project/start up where general high knowledge is requested, becomes head of product, wants to change one's life (new career), even maybe becoming a coding teacher (starting as teacher assistant). As a mother of 2 young kids, it was quite challenging, but possible. Go for it!  Read less

Le Wagon Zurich gave me the web development foundation I needed to pursue a career as a Software Engineer. They have an excellent curriculum and wonderful teachers that care about each student's development. I would totally recommend them and I think they are the best coding school in Switzerland.

Before Le Wagon I worked as experimental physicist in collaboration with Bologna Unuversity, INFN and CERN. I’ve always loved programming and in the moment I decided to stop with my previous career I’ve discovered Le Wagon. I’ve just graduated after 9 weeks of intense coding sessions and I am seriously amazed of how much one can learn in such a little time with the right teachers and approach. 
The balance between lessons and coding session is successful since it allow every student to have a first insight of the topic during the explanation and the live codes and then brings him/her/them directly to face the actual practice and problems. I definitely suggest Le Wagon to anyone who wishes to change career path to code. Read less

I’ve just finished LW Zurich on June 10, 2022 (batch888). The materials are old(some are from 2014 and we are still taught to push to master branch), some teachers didn't care if students could catch up or not. This resulted in 1 student dropped out and 1 group project being cancelled. When we signed up for our batch, they didn’t ask us to do any exams, or make sure we could handle the intense schedule. This is highly unprofessional and I felt truly bad about those students and their money.
Also, the classroom was very small. As the staff said, they thought there were only 8 students, so they rented a room for 8 students, but somehow they decided to take 3 more students! If they cared about the students(clients) they wouldn't have accepted 3 more students. On our first day, we only had 8 tables and 8 chairs. 3 people had to compromise and sit on folded chairs. Of course, they rented another small room so we could split and do challenges. But, we still had to do lectures and live code in the 8 people's room. Only a few days later, after some students gave their feedback, we finally got 2 more tables and chairs! But 1 person always had to sit on a folded chair. I would say luckily 1 person dropped out, so it was not super crowded, just very crowded. A good and comfortable classroom is important for a bootcamp as we have to be there from 8:30 to 17:30. However, it’s not as important as making the maximum money possible for this so-called “Coding School”.
Another problem is that we were usually informed at the last minute, even after we asked them to inform us beforehand. For example, we were told about the career week on week 8. Some people already had plans, so they could not join it. If we had known about it earlier, we would have made some plans! Also, we were informed about the career week's schedule 1-2 hours before our first zoom lesson. This really disrespected our time. Read less

I have just finished Le Wagon's Web Development bootcamp and I couldn't be happier with my experience! 
For a bootcamp to teach you enough code for you to change your career in 9 weeks, two things are crucial: a well-structured curriculum and the right environment. Le Wagon excels in both of these. 
Every day at Le Wagon you'll learn something new. This is challenging, but also exciting and it makes every single day count. What you learn in one day connects perfectly with what you learned the day before, allowing your knowledge and skills to improve very quickly. When you're a student at Le Wagon, all of this comes naturally; looking back, you will realize how well-structured it all had to be in order to make you feel that way.
The environment at Le Wagon is focused on help and cooperation. Everyone helps everyone else as much as they can. This creates a great cooperative atmosphere among students, who all help each other. The TAs and teachers are absolutely amazing and happy to help you at any moment. Looking back, I am truly thankful for all they did, as it would have been impossible without their dedication. The staff is always available and does all they can to ensure that your experience is the best it can be. They make you feel at home and do an amazing job preparing you for the job market, which is particularly visible during the career week. 
Le Wagon's bootcamp was a very intense and deeply rewarding experience. I couldn't be happier with it and I truly recommend it to anyone looking for a Web Development bootcamp! Read less

I just graduated from Le Wagon's full time data science bootcamp in Bali, Indonesia. It  was a very tough but rewarding experience. 9am-6pm classes Monday to Friday, plus flashcards to do at home for review. There's so much to learn in a condensed amount of time, which can be overwhelming. But trust the process and you will be amazed what you can put together with your classmates during the 2 week project week at the end of the course.  Read less

Prior to Le Wagon, I was working in a tech startup. Unfortunately, due to the lack of technical expertise and problem solving methodologies, it was not able to progress. Determined to not make the same mistake, I joined Le Wagon to acquire the skillsets of a data scientist. The course was intense but it was well structured and was taught by passionate lecturers. On top of that, Le Wagon provides excellent administrative support to the students.

Attending Le wagon was one of the best decisions that I’ve made because it has equipped me with a set of techniques and tools to solve not only complex problems but also on a much larger scale. With this skill set, I’m confident that I’m able to use data to generate as much impact as possible for businesses and individuals.

Previously I was working as a food scientist at a food tech start-up and decided to pivot into the data science industry after gaining exposure and interest in what my data science colleagues were working on. After looking through the various bootcamps available, Le Wagon came out as my top choice as I came across many good reviews, and the website also felt very professional and neat, and the administrative staff were also very responsive, prompt and very detailed in answering any queries that I had, and overall this gave me a very good impression of Le Wagon.
Despite the course being only a short 9 weeks, I daresay that I have learnt an incredibly broad range of topics, ranging from the basics of Python to web scraping and SQL, data analytics and visualisation tools like Numpy, Matplotlib etc, and then covering numerous machine learning and deep learning algorithms, and ending off the course with an emphasis on data engineering tools like containerization with Docker and maneuvering within GCP. I felt this to be extremely useful especially as it allowed me to realise and get prepared for the real-life data science world where we will be working on massive amounts of data and hence likely to require cloud services instead of only working on the local computer.
I was also pleasantly surprised regarding the extensive amount of prep work, challenges and resources that were provided to us prior to the bootcamp (over 40 hours of information ranging from coding to statistics and even using the terminal and using Git), and then during the bootcamp itself, a bit of time was spent going through these basics to ensure that you have a good solid foundation of general coding and math, before diving into the specifics of machine and deep learning. As someone with almost no experience in Python prior to joining the bootcamp, these extra resources really helped me a lot and eased my transition into data science.
The lecturers of this bootcamp were certainly very knowledgeable and clear in teaching, and would not hesitate to answer any questions that you might have, even if the questions are out of the scope of the lecture. I was very fortunate to have a lecturer who is very passionate in teaching, and he would constantly share with us his own experience, and provide us tips on how to survive in the data science world, how to manage projects etc. These little morsels of advice were definitely invaluable and things that you cant learn off the books, so I am very thankful for that.
Lastly, I am also very grateful that Le Wagon had organised a career week to help us brush up our CVs, cover letters, Linkedin profile etc, and also invited numerous alumni and external vendors to speak to us about our future prospects. I can see that Le Wagon has put in a tremendous amount of effort to help us land a job, and this was very heartening because as a bootcamp graduate with only 9 weeks of experience in data science, you tend to worry if employers will even want to hire you, and what Le Wagon has done is to help us establish connections, brush up on our resumes, and maximise the chances of getting a job, so I am really very appreciative and thankful for that.

I took the 9 week full stack development course in Bali. It was a great experience, where we learnt all the necessary skills to get a first job in tech. The staff were super engaging and supportive all throughout the entire course. I will say you must be motivated and you will only get out what you put in but if you work hard and stay focused, this course has plenty of value to offer and will no doubt put you in a position to get you where you want to be.  Read less

From InsurTech to full-stack developer, I have reinforced my 10+ years of project management skills in the insurtech industry by becoming a certified software engineer thanks to Le Wagon, batch#882. The courses are intense, you are "forced" since the beginning to have a clean code, exercices challenging. Everything is well organized day after day, teachers / teacher assistants where amazing and all in a relaxed and studious atmosphere, especially here in Bali. After Le Wagon you feel been part of a family, and they don't let you in the wild once you received your certificate, which is reassuring! Definitely, go for it! Read less

“I had been working in customer service and retail for years until I realized that it was not what I wanted to do. On a couple friends’ advice (who are developers now thanks to the bootcamp) I joined Le Wagon and it has been one of the best learning journeys of my life. We learn how to code and about what goes on behind the scenes of any website or app. It’s fascinating! We also get to build our own projects with a team and the teachers’ help. We are never alone and we never feel helpless thanks to the structure and pedagogy. Read less

I previously worked in IT before starting this course; but in Support and Administration, and wanted a change in my life, from working a 9-5 in an office, to be able to pick up my laptop and travel the world. The tools and information I have learned and have now have prepared me to do just that, I know that there is still a long road ahead to go before I can complete all my goals in life, but this course has been an absolute game changer for my life, the teaching staff, the course material and the life long friends, some of which I now call my family, and connections through the incredible Alumni channels I have access to now have set me up to be able to look at a website and completely understand how I could build it from scratch. My only drawback is that it ended so soon - I started to enjoy going into class and working in pairs, teams and sometimes alone, which is weird for me because I never enjoyed going to class before, I felt at home with the people in the class, that I had met like-minded individuals that share similar goals to me, and was able to grow with the help of Daniel, Rayhan, Christina and Shania, these teachers; all of which had graduated from the bootcamp. The course itself is intense, Monday through Friday, 9 till 6, but as it goes on, and you build up knowledge you realise their process and why it works so well. As well as the fact that once you're done coding for the day, you're still in Bali! The local life here is incredible, the people are so friendly, and the food is amazing, I've completely change the way I live whilst out here, from what I eat to when I wake up, I joined a gym and tried my hand at surfing (wasn't the best surfer in the batch by a long shot but caught my first wave on my birthday and totally understand the reason its so popular). I couldn't recommend this course, especially here in Bali, more. I truly have had the time of my life and now can continue on moving forward to achieve my goals. Read less

It all started with fear, and it all ended in hapiness! This 9 intense weeks were one of the most challenging experiences I've made and it was absolutely worth!! The teaching system, the staff, the buddies working alongside us, the stressfull and peaceful moments, I would repeat all of it. If you want to change your life, Le Wagon is the way! Read less

Are you grinding your 9 to 5 job and absolutely hating it? Do you feel like your job doesn't fulfill you anymore? Time for a change! I did my 9 weeks full time course and I have to say it really changed my life you don't need to be hesitant if you don't have any Prior knowledge anyone can do it, it's going to be challenging but remember trust the process!

I was looking for a career change and I was interested in data so I joined Le Wagon in Madrid. You need to do some prep-work just to get in. It’s hard but manageable, even for someone with no previous math or coding background like me. I guess It took me longer than an engineer might need, but I came prepared thanks to the really good prep work they curate for you.

The Bootcamp is really hard but everything is so well organized and thought of, that you just keep pushing and making progress. At first you have this feeling that you are barely making it, but before you know, you are proficient with data analytics, machine learning, deep learning… It’s crazy how much you can learn in such a short period of time. For me it became much easier from the beginning of the third week onwards, everything just started to make sense much faster. You obviously don’t know everything at the end, this is a broad subject to say the least… but you are ready to tackle on any data related issue. 

The staff is amazing, you can really tell that they are there for you, always supportive. I’ve just finished the Bootcamp, but I can already tell that this has been a life changing experience. Super recommended.  Read less

After contrasting multiple experiences, I decided to take a turn and project my professional future in the field of Programming! At the beginning, I was striving to learn Web Development tools by myself but was not successful, so I decided to do a full-time bootcamp!
Now I just finished this incredible experience: after 9 intense weeks of challenges and stress I can proudly say that I finished the Le Wagon Spain Web Development bootcamp - Madrid batch #875! 
These weeks have been an amazing time, I have learned so much about the world of Full-stack Development and I had the opportunity to meet some incredible people along the way like the amazing Madrid staff (Emilia Ivaylova Stefanova, Fanny Rojon and Gonzalo Guerra Figueroa), the talented teaching team and my classmates (now friends, especially thanks to the buddy system which is the best)!I am super proud to be part of this great community!
