Le Wagon

Passionate about digital and start ups, I worked for several years as CMO, mostly for e-commerce pureplayers, and also cofounded a start up in edtech.
For more than 12 years, I enjoyed working with developers but without knowing how to code...
I chose to attend Le Wagon coding bootcamp to better understand the tech environment I work in. Being able to speak with Product and Developers teams is a key skill for a start up CMO. Going further in User Experience, Growth marketing and Data-analysis is also very valuable as marketing is more and more about tech and data.
Le Wagon has been an incredible experience I would definitely recommend for everyone working or willing to work in a tech environment. Read less

Before the bootcamp, I worked at KMPG as senior consultant focused on optimizing processes to make them more efficient. I got more and more interested in how the different tools we used worked, and how I could use code to build such tools myself. The Le Wagon Data Science bootcamp covered everything I was looking for, and a lot more! My favorite parts were the daily challenges and the final project (an AI DJ), tackling them with my buddies, and of course, having a lot of fun in the proces! Read less

Prior joining Le Wagon I worked in different companies as software engineer. At my last position I worked on GUI projects for desktop software in the domain of semi-conductors, programming on Linux PCs in C++ and using the Qt framework for the GUI.  When I decided to setup as freelance I wanted  to learn web development which was something new for me. The experience at Le Wagon Lyon was amazing. Courses are well structured to quick learn new concepts. Instructors are nice people always ready to help anybody. Projects weeks are intensive and challenging when working with people having different backgrounds. And even after the bootcamp, Le Wagon is there to help and advice. Read less

I came to Le Wagon with no prior experience in programming, without any background in computer networking... and here I am, three weeks after graduation I have my first mission as a full-stack developer! Hole Le Wagon team was very helpful and understanding and they are really caring about your career success (many thanks to Simon (the career-week coach) who did a great job). An intense 9-week learn-to-code program will teach you to code, but also will help you to understand how to use code in your own way. You will be provided with all skills you need to break into tech. Overall, Le Wagon is a great community of teachers, students & alumni all over the world. Read less

My background is from several years of Interior design/architecture and always loved tech and design.
In the recent months during the pandemic, I learnt about the full stack program from Le Wagon while trying to learn about UX/UI online. Being in my mid career and the long distance online course, I was not 100% sure how the program would turn out to be.
Now that I have finished, I am proud to say I have graduated and would definitely look for a tech related field. The online classes were always engaging and definitely challenging, I can't thank the supportive teachers enough which I felt was the best part of Le Wagon!  I am glad I took up this course.

Hello, I’m Jose Prieto!
I’m from Paraguay and some of my hobbies are video games, travel, CrossFit and now coding. 
Before the bootcamp I worked as a Bank Account Manager for almost 6 years. My main focus was meeting the needs of increasingly demanding clients and meeting monthly revenue targets, which helped me to work under a lot of pressure. 
As a video game lover, I have always been very curious about technology and programming and knew that sooner or later I was going to make the big leap. 
When I found out about Le Wagon I knew I had to do it. The experience was incredible and I not only learned a lot but also had a lot of fun during the process of learning how to code. After the 9 week program I’m overwhelmed by how much I have learned and I am eager to build on my newly acquired knowledge and keep learning.  Read less

OK Internet was already part of my life. But not of my work. I used to work for a luxury company, selecting what would be in stores.
Our clients used WeChat, Instagram or e-shops all the time but my job was centered around brick-and-mortar experience. I could not see myself cornered with retail forever so I decided to join Le Wagon to learn some code.

"You have to trust us, everybody will succeed eventually" was the first sentence I heard from the teachers. 
While everybody's pace was different, no one was left behind and after 9 weeks we all could code. 
It's amazing to see that I can now create a web app from a glorified TextEdit file.

Le Wagon taught me web development but spiked my curiosity. I can explore concepts like Machine Learning or Big Data and I feel confident enough to do sales for an Artificial Intelligence start-up. Read less

I decided to do Le Wagon because I needed a change in my professional life, it is not easy to know what to do, in which sector and to find the right way to do it. With the Wagon I discovered the IT, it was a very intense 9 weeks but the teachers and staff are really nice and the atmosphere is very special. I met great people who I worked with every day and I really enjoyed spending time with them. It gave me a new vision of professional life, more colorful, more flexible.

 As the founder of Facildata, the digital brick for your building.
I have chosen Le Wagon web development program for the two following main reasons:1- To have a concrete experience of coding and web development.
2- To be part of the great community of le Wagon which has an excellent spirit and provides so many valuable advices and services for the founders and the developers. 

 This was a great experience, thanks to kitt and the paris wagon team which follow and guide you along the bootcamp.  Read less

Though I have not inherited any of the technical talents that my parents seemed to possess, it was time for me to venture into a new field. As a linguistics and culture studies university graduate with over three years of experience in sales and recruiting in a foreign country, I did not expect myself to excel at coding at all. When the pandemic hit, my job at the time was unstable and I had to re-educate myself to change my career. 
Coding is as stable as a career as they come, so I wanted to make sure I could learn at a decent pace, but still challenge myself enough to feel accomplished. Through the Ruby foundations class that was free, I got a good look at what learning coding at LeWagon would be like, and the incredible patience of the teacher and the consultation I got before signing up really sold me on the class. The class itself consists of watching lectures (often online at home), trying to learn the content by yourself first, and then solving challenges with a buddy in class; you can always ask a teacher for help. There will be live coding assisted by the teachers most days, and specific projects to work on as well. Your time at LeWagon will certainly test your ability to self-study, frustration tolerance (when your code is not working for some reason, even though you thought you did it the exact same way as the teacher), and the way you solve problems.The alumni network, the online library with all the classes, webinars, and tutorials that are available for the rest of your life are certainly some of the first addresses that I turn to, whenever I have a question, or want to learn something new.
The LeWagon class is a great way to start a new career in IT, specifically looking at Web Development. I myself even got a job at a Software Intelligence company! The way I was taught to code actually gave me an advantage in the interviews. LeWagon not only teaches the material, but also how to read technical documentation, how to google for stuff, and how to strategically solve any problem you might have on your own. That was huge and left a good impression on my interviewers.Though it was certainly tough at times and I am sure I have asked a million dumb questions, the teachers were usually patient and explained the content well. Some were even available after hours and provide almost instant support, especially during the project weeks. Even with all this support though, sometimes, you will be frustrated. Some things you won’t understand straight away, and some challenges, you might not solve on your own, and you will have to persevere and keep going. This is certainly not made for people who tend to stay in their comfort zone and shy away from challenges. All in all, I can recommend this bootcamp for anyone who might doubt their own technical talents, who likes taking baby steps, and really understand the depth of the material they are digging into. This will be a challenge, but if you work hard and give yourself a chance, LeWagon might just open up the doors for you to change the course of your life. Read less

I had been wanting to change careers and become a web developer for a while, and I finally ended up choosing Le Wagon to kickstart this journey. I am really glad I did! Sure, I could have learned by myself - there are really great resources online, that is true! But Le Wagon uses a very specific learning process that really ensures we absorb and apply the knowledge in an optimal way via their own platform, challenges and projects. And that’s not counting all the skills we acquire that are necessary in a developer position, outside of just programming language skills, such as learning how to learn (so important!), working together as a team, version control with Git, product design with Figma, Agile methodologies, writing user stories, prioritizing features for an MVP, etc. On top of that, Le Wagon Montréal counts on an amazing team and I am glad to now be part of that international community! I am super excited to start my new job as a full stack developer.  Read less

After 7 years of experience in web project management, I wanted to enrich my functional profile through the acquisition of real technical skills. That's why I joined Le Wagon to train as a FullStack Web Developer.
My first idea was therefore to enrich my technical skills and thus have an expertise in web project management, both on a functional and technical level. But after 9 weeks of bootcamp and two projects developed in a team, I discovered a new passion. The full-time training is very intensive. But it is also very rich in terms of learning and on a human level. You get into the rhythm very quickly and eventually the time passes so quickly that you feel nostalgic before the end of the course.
I spent 9 amazing weeks, the training in general is very well organised and the staff is very competent and educational. I recommend this experience to anyone who wants to learn. Read less

I just graduated from Le Wagon web development bootcamp and I feel very excited for the future.I learnt so much in such a short time about backend and frontend languages of course but also on how to work more efficiently as a team on a project for example.After working for 10 years in the tech industry on the business side, I feel the bootcamp gave me the skills to upgrade my career.I am thankful for the journey and happy to join the Le Wagon community.

I attended Le Wagon #550 in Paris (March 2021). It was a great experience. The boot camp is very intense and teaches you all you need to launch a tech product or start a career as a developer. I would recommend it any day. Not only does it teach you the necessary programming skills, front and back end, but it also opens the door to all the Le Wagon online resources and community. Definitely worth your time and investment if you consider learning web development. Read less

I underwent the 6 month part time full stack web development bootcamp in Singapore and never looked back. The course was very extensive and required us to cram a lot into the 6 months, but we all emerged as better coders. It was a truly immersive experience with pitch nights and demo days to bring concepts and products to life - if anything it was TOO much excitement in the times of COVID. Post the course completion, Le Wagon also went through the trouble of arranging career talks and invited external guest speakers to come down and share their experiences, making sure that we had everything we needed in order to make the next move in our careers.

In all, choosing to learn how to code was one of the best decisions I made in the stagnant year of 2020. It was such an amazing experience learning how to code alongside other determined professionals, and though the journey was tough, my excellent teachers Prima, Miguel and Ann always made sure that I walked out of class learning just a little bit more. Would definitely recommend as a place to go in a heartbeat to anyone who's considering learning how to code.

The total experience was a success! 
The course is very well organized and I think it's very complete. Fully accompanied from the first moment, all the staff ready to help you. A course with a lot of good vibes! Highly recommended if you have the opportunity to do so. Read less

Before Le Wagon I had tried many time to learn by myself how to code in order to be able to build projects as a creative outlet. Unfortunately, despite the abundance of ressources online I just didn’t know where to start and couldn’t find a program with the right structure for me to learn by myself. Additionally, keeping myself motivated enough to keep learning by myself proved to be difficult.Le Wagon helped address all theses issues. The program is perfectly structured to gain a thorough understanding of the fundamentals before building on more advanced topics and sets you up to be able to build on that foundation at your own pace later on. Additionally, I found the blend of lectures and practice allowed me to really challenge and validate my understanding before moving on.However, the best thing about the program remains the people, both students and teachers. Le Wagon built such a wonderful community that makes the experience enjoyable and motivating. Learning alongside such driven individuals made me want to give it my best and fostered an amazing atmosphere to keep us motivated and excited for the duration of the program. Being able to count on your peers and mutually contribute to our learning experience is of immense value.Overall I couldn’t be more proud of what I accomplished over these last few months. I met amazing people and learn exciting new skills which I look forward to push further as I begin working on new projects.Thank you for an amazing 6 months! Read less

I chose Le Wagon because it was recommended to me by 2 friends that had done it a couple of years back. It was super demanding (as you can expect for a coding bootcamp) but it was the best decision I made. The level of organisation and support was everything I was missing when learning by myself. From day 1 you are able to access the entire curriculum, slides, resources, exercises and videos you are going to use during the course. The teachers are available at all times to answer your questions and you get to meet and work with a group of people that are going through the same process as you. Last but not least, you get to join a 10K+ global community, where you can always connect with new people. Read less

 I did Le Wagon Singapore in 2020/2020 and the bootcamp was amazing as a comprehensive overview of how the an app works end to end and sets a fantastic base to explore any areas of programming that you will be more interested in.

Big thanks to Miguel, Prima and Ann for an amazing journey and it was incredible seeing paper ideas become actual products across Ad Tech, Ed Tech and Social enterprise platforms. Excited for what's to come!  Read less

 I want to take my chance to say thank you to Le Wagon Singapore. My decision to go there to learn how to code is one of the best choices I’ve ever made. I joined part time course for the last six months. The experience was amazing! And the real stars are incredible teachers who always there to help and support. They made sure that the material was well understood and never missed a chance to double check on how are we doing during challenges completion.
Now, after 24 weeks I am not sure if I am going to become a developer, but these weeks definitely changed my life. I will suggest to everyone who ever thought about learning how to code to choose Le Wagon without any hesitation. This school will give you much more than just code understanding but new friends and the greatest community :) Read less
