Le Wagon

I worked in accounting for about 7 years of my life and I sought Le Wagon because I wanted to change professions to Web Developer.

I did Le Wagon's Bootcamp in Rio de Janeiro - Batch # 445, it was 6 months with learning a lot from great teachers and a good learning structure.
A month after graduating I found my first job as a Web Developer.

Today I work as a Web Developer and I always try to learn more.
I am very grateful to Le Wagon for changing my life, today I work with something that I really like. Read less

I used to be an English teacher and an Economical Engineering student before Le wagon. When I decided to learn how to program I searched for bootcamps across Brazil. Le Wagon was the one that stood out because of its content and the chance to practice like a real programmer! I never felt so challenged and accomplished. It was the best choice I made. Now I started working for a StartUp in its early days and I am a Teacher/Teacher Assistant on a few days at Le Wagon.  Read less

Prior to Le Wagon I had been working for 4 years in Communications and Marketing, and spent one year with an NGO dedicated to social and professional inclusion in Indonesia. Back in France I knew I wanted to change career but didn’t know where to start. After some research I signed up for the web development course with Le Wagon. Spoiler alert: best decision ever made.

What struck me is how fast you learn and progress. It clearly is the perfect match between technical skills, general knowledge, and community. More than coding skills, you acquire a problem-solving mindset. It is really intense for sure, but thanks to the pedagogy and hands-on approach you can directly apply what you learn.

During the bootcamp live talks are organized with industry professionals so you can discover potential career opportunities and start to build your network. There are also many hiring partners who know what to expect from Le Wagon alumni.
Now I feel ready to work as a web developer and use my newly acquired skills for social and environmental projects! Read less

 I was apart of the 501 Batch at Le Wagon in Paris. Unfortunately mid-way through our batch, we got re-confined due to Covid-19, which meant we had to follow the program on Zoom. The Wagon was very organized and available to make the transition as smooth as possible. I never felt abandoned or on my own, and still felt like I was getting the most out of the program as possible. My teachers were there every step of the way, and there was still a big sense of community. Overall, regardless of the covid regulations, I really enjoyed my experience with The Wagon. I feel as though I really learned everything necessary to become a full stack web dev, and am very confident in my coding skills thanks to them. I really recommend the BootCamp to anyone who is interested in Learning to code ! The Wagon is really there to support their students, before, during, and after the Boot Camp.  Read less

The Wagon is a caring and studious environment to not only learn to code but to learn to learn. The challenges are daily to always go a little further in the concepts of programming while consolidating as the knowledge is acquired. Especially since I find it very rewarding to continue to progress and transmit what I have learned myself as a Teacher Assistant and to have the feeling of being part of an extremely active community in France and internationally.

I attended the Web Development boot-camp before I attended the Data Science boot-camp and let me say that the Data Science boot-camp exceeded my expectations. Even though the boot-camp was remote, the staff and teachers were very attentive and had  a great attitude throughout. The material was very impressive and in depth. In fact, I joined the boot-camp mainly to demystify Deep Learning , and I was really happy with the depth we covered the topic.  I am now pursuing a Master's Degree in computer so that I can further my knowledge in Neural Networks. I recommend the boot-camp to anyone who wants to challenge themselves and learn what the buzz of Machine Learning is all about! Read less

Le Wagon was exactly the push I needed to learn web development and discover what I’m capable of. I saw how much you can learn in a short time, given an optimal environment and structure. One of the best things about the curriculum was how it all made sense at the end. I enjoyed each module but sometimes found myself curious how it all will come together. I must say I wasn’t disappointed.


 

I loved doing the challenges and practicing the concepts we learned that day hands-on. I appreciated the effort that was clearly made creating each one of them, and it was a crucial part of the bootcamp I believe. I spent the first week on campus and kept doing the rest of the bootcamp remotely. Covid surprised us all and forced us to be capable of doing more online. Both experiences were amazing, I loved having a structured day with lessons and challenges. It was amazing to see how far we all came at the end of the bootcamp. 

 

The project weeks were both quite challenging and rewarding at the same time. I was the team leader which was a responsibility I happily took and enjoyed very much. Balancing responsibilities and tasks through the team became tiresome sometimes but the end result was very rewarding and I think those weeks were great to see how it is to work as a team.

 

It was great to connect with many professionals, all in different roles in tech during the Career Week. Listening to their recommendations and their experiences was definitely inspiring. We also learned how to create an appealing CV for ourselves

  

Two weeks after the bootcamp I started working with two Le Wagon alumni from two different batches and different countries on a volunteer project. I was referred to them by another alumni who watched our demos. It just shows what an amazing network Le Wagon provides during and after graduation. I also realise that working together is quite easy because despite doing the bootcamp in different cities and times, we all somehow speak the same language and understand each other well. I also started a full-time job as a Junior Full-Stack Developer in in a startup less than three months after graduating Le Wagon and am again thankful for the opportunities provided to me by Le Wagon. 

   

I love meeting new people and talking to them very much. Le Wagon’s global alumni is great to do exactly that. It is very easy to get in touch with other alumni all around the world and everyone is very helpful and nice. I also miss creating tickets and talking to a teacher whenever I faced problems and the buddy system. I really enjoyed the community vibe Le Wagon provided for us. Read less

I did Le Wagon Web Development (9 weeks, full time) Bootcamp in 2020. I’m a business graduate, but I always wanted to learn coding, and I tried on my own for a year. It was really difficult since I didn’t really know where to start. I had attended Le Wagon workshops in the past and I have read the amazing reviews online. After doing a lot of research, I finally decided to attend the bootcamp during the pandemic. This was definitely one of the best decisions of my life.

Before starting, you need to do a full prep-work, it includes a course about: Ruby, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and some web preparations. The bootcamp is definitely super intense and immersive. You have to be fully committed. There’s a lecture in the morning, and then you work on challenge all day with an assigned buddy. It makes it really straight-forward, and you start coding on the very first day. At the end of the 9 weeks, you will be able to build a marketplace from scratch, it seems impossible but with Le Wagon resources, it is.

The teachers and the full team are amazing, they all did the bootcamp, so they know exactly what you need. They are all passionate and truly dedicated to Le Wagon’s mission. They are always available if you need anything and they always go beyond your need.

The program is also fully structured, you have access to so many resources, you won’t need anything else. Everything is there. You also have access to all the alumni’s, it’s a dedicated community that is also available, even after you graduate.

Before joining Le Wagon, I used to read the reviews and I thought maybe they were a little bit exaggerated, but they are not. I truly recommend Le Wagon to anyone wanting to develop new skills, change careers or be able to build a product on their own. Read less

I decided to get myself into programming and someone I know strongly recommended me to do the bootcamp at Le Wagon. Before starting the bootcamp there is a prep work including intro to coding, videos explaining important concepts and short quizzes related to what you've learned. The goal of doing this prep work is to see if you liked it and you're ready to enroll to classes. So, I did the bootcamp during the pandemic, thinking it would make things harder, but it was the opposite. The staff adapted really quickly to those changes and we had all the tools needed. The journey itself was intensive, but worth it. A lot of new concepts to learn everyday and challenges to complete. The teachers and TAs were very helpful when I had questions. The bootcamp also made me learn how to search for my answers on the Internet from trusted sources, because knowing how to search for correct answers is the key of being a good developer. Overall, I was very satisfied with my experience at Le Wagon. The final project was really fun. Read less

I did Le Wagon Web Development (9 weeks, full time) Bootcamp in 2020. Prior to Le Wagon, I was at a fast-growing software company that got acquired by a large corporate tech company. I knew it was a great opportunity, but I was in sales and I wanted to improve my technical skills.  
I left to pursue my dream, and then the Global Pandemic hit!  I had many opportunities to pursue both employment and learning. After much research, I signed up for Le Wagon! There are many learning vehicles out there, but I did choose Le Wagon........why?

They are an experienced team, they have an expansive curriculum, and are on top of all the newest technologies pertinent to the market today. But.....that is not why, it was because of the people, the detail to attention and care individually and the way they teach and stretch and support you to be your best. Their techniques and support coupled with care and investment in who you are - the soft skills that matter to build confidence and become a part of their family of excellence
I learned so much of the fundamentals of coding and in a team-based way/culture that challenged and rewarded me.  I now have many opportunities, and a vibrant network and feel fueled for the next step in my career!
Thank you Le Wagon! Read less

My Le Wagon experience was amazing! I did the course in Stockholm between my second and final year of university for a Business Bachelor.
During my studies, I realized that only studying business does not fulfill my interests and abilities. I joined the boot-camp to get insights into coding and was surprised that it went far beyond that. I discovered my passion for developing, especially during the first weeks, solving backend challenges. After the Le Wagon, I got a working student job where I could work 50% of my working time on business and 50% on developer tasks. Now I am planning on doing a Master's degree in Business Analytics,  further intensifying my programming skills and learning how to apply them in a business context.

When starting the course, I wasn't really sure what to expect from the course as I was new to the Data Science world. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and clear logical progression of the curriculum. 

Le Wagons preparation to have subject matter experts that were currently working in their field professionally as the course moved forward to give industry advice and insights while teaching each module really helped to lock in the relevance and application of what we were learning. 

The whole Le Wagon team was keen, enthusiastic, driven and passionate about their subjects which in turn help to invigorate myself and I believe my fellow classmates. The really shone through more during the final project stages when they were just as interested and invested in making sure the projects worked to their full potential as much as the students working on the projects themselves. 

After the course Le Wagon provides comprehensive advice on preparing your resume, LinkedIn, GitHub and any other relevant professional portfolio sites/resources. Along side this their connections in the hiring market in Tokyo proved extremely useful allowing me to find a great data science job through their recommendations within 2 and a half weeks! 

Overall, I highly recommend Le Wagon, you can get a huge amount out of this course as long as you're willing to put the effort in to maximise the potential of this well constructed course. Read less

Coming from a finance background I took the leap to add coding to my skillsets. After careful research I ended up enrolling in the Le Wagon remote bootcamp. I could not be more satisfied with the journey. The resources, structure and incredible teachers and staff  are top notch. The access and support even in a remote setting were seemless. When we completed our bootcamp and projects, I couldn't believe the person that completed the course was the same as the one starting it. Highly recommend ! Read less

I had the best experience at Le Wagon Dubai! During a tough period in my life, I wanted to get back in the real world by learning web development on my free time I was so impressed by the methodology and how effectively I learnt from zero to building apps in 2 months. Charlotte is an amazing driver, always making sure everyone is happy and included in the batch. Rayan is an excellent teacher, best in his field and super patient, I learnt a lot of applicable knowledge from him! Tarig is amazingly charismatic and will make any complicated concept super easy and visual to understand. If you're looking for the best, fastest and most efficient way to learn web dev, this is the best place in Dubai!!! Cheers and thank you so much to Le Wagon Dubai team <3 Read less

In 2019, I was lost. I didn't like my job anymore, I didn't earn enough money, and I didn't see any prospects anymore. I was a social science editor, which was satisfying for my love of books but not for my work environment.
I decided to change my career to be able to work in any country. But I discovered much more! The Wagon brought me know-how, a community, a profession, career opportunities, and so much more!
I loved my first few weeks, learning the backend with Ruby, even if I sometimes felt like I was the only one who was enthusiastic about that part. It's hard, but it's worth it! Then the frontend, well, it was great. The last three weeks focus on projects: we did two incredible apps from scratch. It was a great experience to design and build these apps. The system helps us to progress and learn quickly. What I liked is the buddy system: you work with another student every day. It teaches you to work in a group, with very different people.
I found a job two months after finishing the Bootcamp: first a 3-month apprenticeship, and then I got hired on a permanent contract.
I recommend signing in LeWagon Bootcamp if you want to change your career quickly. Don't forget: it requires a lot of energy and willpower.  Read less

Just a few months ago I was working as a cabin crew for Emirates Airlines in Dubai. Then COVID came and the company decided to make me and a some other colleagues redundant, and I thought I could use that “push” to change my career and my life, and I am glad I did took action on that feeling.
I signed up to Le Wagon Web Development Bootcamp in Stockholm, and I can say that is the best decision I took throughout all of 2020; it literally changed my life.I learned so much about coding and made so many good friends.
The part I loved that most was the sense of team spirit that was formed around the whole class AND the teachers. It was amazing how after only a few days we were all so comfortable with each other, always ready to help each other.
Also, the TA support was truly amazing every step of the way (big shout out to Yaniv Matalon), he was the most awesome teacher we had. Something else that I truly enjoyed was the daily meditation sessions towards the end of each day done by Eva, it really helped me recharge my mind after a full day of coding, so much so that I continued to do it after the bootcamp; or the live code at the end of every Friday while enjoying a nice cold beer, courtesy of Yves… that was super cool.
I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone that made it possible  For this and so many other reasons I highly recommend Le Wagon if you are thinking of changing your life, it certainly did change mine. After all, I got a job as a junior developer 2 weeks after the bootcamp thanks to everything I learned with these guys. Read less

 Prior to Le Wagon I had been studying Law and was getting ready to pursue that as a career. I had a sudden change of heart after some realizations and decided to pursue programming instead. The reviews for Le Wagon looked amazing and so that was where I decided to enroll in December 2020. I do not regret my decision at all! The staff were all incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and despite covid restrictions everything ran very smoothly. The whole program takes you right from a very beginner level right up to being ready to apply and start your career as a developer! The final project you do is great, it really encourages you to take control yourself while still having support when you truly get stuck. The project is also great as it gives you a real insight into what its like working as a developer and collaborating with your team. 10/10 would recommend kick starting your career with Le Wagon!  Read less

Before Le Wagon I was a graduate engineer, looking to boost my skill set whilst searching for a job. I decided the Le wagon data science bootcamp would be a great way to do this and this proved to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! I couldn’t recommend the course enough, the staff/ teachers were incredible, curriculum expertly planned and the general environment inviting and warm. We were pushed to the limits of our abilities and put in a great position to start building our own projects, in my case using the latest tech in deep learning language processing to build an environmentally focused sentiment detection platform, something I couldn’t have dreamed of doing before the course began.

I decided to learn to code after several years working in sales and business development. I chose le Wagon because of their applied methodology and their focus on teaching people without any prior coding knowledge as well as their well earned reputation within the industry.

I joined the first class of the Stockholm campus and during 9 weeks I immersed myself into the world of web development. Not only did I learn coding but also how to work in a team with profiles so different from mine. I am very happy to have had teachers from all over the world who had either completed the bootcamp themselves, or were long-time industry professionals. This was very encouraging for my future.

If you are thinking about joining a coding bootcamp know that it will be the best decision you will make. Being able to achieve so much in so little time and learn a whole new scope of hard skills is incredible. If you are on that decision cross-road, keep in mind that joining a bootcamp is not the easy road to take. Give it your full commitment, set the right expectations from the beginning and never give up. You won’t regret it. Read less
