Le Wagon

I worked for 10 years as sales and i was fed up about that. I decided to change my life with Le Wagon in Paris. Now I'm product manager and I'm very happy to do this work every day :). Without Le Wagon, it would not have been possible !
I met a lot of interesting people and I'll never forget this amazing experience !! Read less

As a business school student I grew tired of not doing anything practical. Why not coding ? 
It was so hard to find any bad review about Le Wagon yet it managed somehow to exceed my expectations.

It's a wonderful humane experience and the learning process could not be smoother and effective. The alumni network is huge and extremely active : two weeks in the bootcamp and I already found the 6-month internship I was looking for. 
Now I'm a happy full stack developer. I know I can count on Le Wagon to build my carrier on something I'm actually passionate about and for many years to come.

Congrats on building such a wonderful community ! Read less

After many years of work in the movie business & others domains, i decided to become a web programmer.
I wanted to have new qualifications and also find the job openings that come with it.

I started comparing many different formations and the Wagon Bootcamp was in my opinion the one with the best reputation and also the one with the best process.

At the end of the 3 months formation, i can say that it totally worthed it. In this amount of time, we started from scratch and learned everything we needed to know about front-end development: Ruby, Javascript, HTML & CSS.

I am now more than competent to create a website or a mobile application from nothing. Read less

So my recommendation on a scale of 1 to 10 ? 
11 ! Read less

I was in a point of my life where I needed to change my career and that's when I found out about this amazing coding bootcamp.
Le Wagon Milan has been the best learning experience I've ever had and I will recommend it to everyone who wants to lean about web development.
Even if a 9-week program may not seem enough to you, I can confirm that it is and you will be amazed by the amount of skills you will have gained by the end of it and that will allow you to start your career as a developer.
I loved the international environment, the teachers and staff were amazing and always there to help you and most importantly, it's super intensive and if you put 100% effort in it you will get the best experience ever out of it.
Be ready to code many hours every day and by the end you will be able to code a web app from scratch and put it to production. How amazing is that! Read less

Hi! I’m Riwan! I participated in the batch #350 of Le Wagon in Paris. I’ve always been interested about web development and Le Wagon has allowed me to make my passion my profession. Le Wagon not only teaches us to code but also to think completely about a web product. The plurality of the profiles that make up a batch is very interesting: whether one is passionate or novice, everyone knows how to code at the end of the training. The pace is very fast but we finally get used to it (even with 2.30 hours of transport per day!). This training is incredible and gives all the cards to be able to work in the web afterwards! Read less

First thing first, It’s not easy at all to learn how to code and specially when it’s the part-time course! (You have to be prepared to say goodbye to your Saturdays and also your Friday nights ahaha).

During the formation, you may think that it’s going to be impossible to pass all the exercises or to finish your project graduation on time but you have to stay strong because when you graduate, you will feel so good about yourself that it’s really worth it!

I learned to code but not only! The teachers and teaching assistants teach you how to work as a team when it’s time for your Rails prototype and that was very helpful!

I met a lot of interesting people at Le Wagon, both the students and specially the teaching staff!

Their profiles are so diversified that it makes them the best asset of Le Wagon, you can ask them so many questions about coding and also working as a developer, free lancer or entrepreneur and that answers a lot of questions when you are at Le Wagon for a career change!

Thanks to all the staff !

Le Wagon Bali was the best decision of my life and I am so happy I made the jump. First, a little bit about myself. I am 34 years old and spent the majority of my adult life working as a paramedic, vastly different from the tech industry. I have always been interested in learning to code and many times embarked on online courses which were structured in a way which rarely resulted in any true understanding of the content, especially considering limited time I have for learning with full time work. Overall, I knew I wanted to learn to code, I knew I would enjoy coding, it just wasn’t working for me trying to do it solo. So, nervously and uncertain, I took 9 weeks from my family and career and embarked on my journey with Le Wagon. Fast forward 5 months and now  I am employed as a full-stack developer during a pandemic, in my dream location, thanks in no small part to Le Wagon. Ok, so first thing to know about Le Wagon is, it’s hard, it’s no holiday (especially if you have limited coding experience). The were many times in the first three weeks where the learning curve was so steep I felt hopeless, there were times when I actually thought I might cry – I usually only cry if I was to be punched in the nose. That’s where you get to lean on the other students who are undoubtedly going through the same range of emotions, forging friendships as you learn together. Then there’s Le Wagon’s best asset, the teachers and teaching assistants, who bring a wealth of knowledge, passion and guidance.  I now know they are the reason Le Wagon has the incredible reputation it has. These guys are there 12 hours a day teaching complex content in an understandable way, solving problems, deciphering our poorly written code, and willing to help unassuming paramedics who really had no idea about coding to start with. They became friends and lifelong mentors, and made my experience at Le Wagon Bali and unforgettable and truly rewarding experience. If you were considering Le Wagon and were on the fence my advice would be to take the plunge, you won’t regret it. Especially in Bali, I can vouch for that team – they are the bomb. Thank you to Dirk, Guido, Gianluca, Sonia, Rayhan, Sisi and the class of #349! Read less

Le Wagon Italy is a great organization made of fantastic people, both professionally and humanly speaking.
I joined their web development boot camp to gain new skills in order to switch career path and all I can say is it that I'm amazed by the quality of their program.
You'll learn so many key arguments necessary to start your career either as a developer, freelancer or entrepreneur.
Most importantly you'll practice these arguments every single day throughout the entire boot camp together with an international fellowship of students, supported by amazing teachers.
Along the way you might feel a little lost because of the intensiveness of the program but don't worry at all, all the dots will connect at the end and you'll be amazed by the amount of stuff you learned along the journey.
Long story short: I'd recommend Le Wagon Italy to anyone who's passionate about programming because this organization is the real deal. Read less

Le Wagon teached me all the magic of coding I needed to start express my creativity and become digitally productive. The knowledges I acquired really helped me launching my company Hiboo.io. It also breaks the dividing line between “technical” and “non-technical” people. In magical terms, I'm not a muggle anymore ;). Read less

Before I joined the course I was at a crossroad in terms of what my future could hold. The University teaching style felt so outdated and slow, with huge breaks between subjects and many “filler” courses. Doing some research lead me to discover “Le Wagon”. 

The daily structure of the bootcamp was a perfect mix. Concise morning lectures, followed by challenging hands on problems and ending with a daily refresh of concepts.  At no point during bootcamp I felt like there was wasted time. Each day you work someone to solve the problems set out, having someone to discuss the problems with, really helps with the deeper learning aspect. How the challenges are laid out, you can choose to complete the minimum or really test your knowledge with the advanced problems. During the final 3 weeks of the bootcamp all the previous learning is put into real world practice with the creation and completion of 2 functioning websites.

During the bootcamp you can feel overwhelmed with the amount of work, but the teachers really help you to not feel left behind. There is various catch up sessions during the bootcamp to further expand and enforce on earlier concepts. 

Overall leaving the course my life has honestly been completely changed and evolved. Where it was once dark, I can finally see light at the end of the tunnel. I am constantly surprised that Universities haven’t adopted this style of teaching. During the 9 weeks I learnt more than the first 2 years of University taught Software Engineering. This course is just the beginning to your future life as Developer and I would encourage anyone to join, regardless of your previous skill.

The Fullstack Web development Bootcamp at Le Wagon is an incredible training. It is super well constructed, we learn the basics of coding and then all that is necessary to code with a product-oriented vision. I like the idea of ​​not wasting time and learning just what it takes to get started and that's exactly what Le Wagon does with a very well thought-out course and challenge platform, with projects’ weeks where we develop finished products, a high-level and friendly teaching staff, a very cool start-up atmosphere and great meetings. I recommend Le Wagon just for this human and hyper-instructive parenthesis that does a lot of good and generates many new skills! Now I am ready to code my own marketplace and launch my business!  Read less

I might as well admit it, I never liked school. After dropping out of it at 16, I became and worked as a photographer for 6 years before I felt like moving on to something else and looking for a new challenge.
Through a fortunate combination of circumstances, I learned about the Le Wagon bootcamp while I was thinking about learning to code. I decided to sign up for it while being quite anxious at the thought of returning to a school environment I had previously fled. The anxiety quickly dissipated when I found out how the bootcamp was going.
Short and concise lessons in the morning, playful exercises to be done with one or more people for the rest of the day, helped by the lead teacher and teacher assistants (former bootcamp students), all of this in a family-like atmosphere and place, not to mention the events and parties organised by the staff: everything has been thought out to promote a smooth learning experience, despite the intensity of the work to be done. During the 9 weeks of the bootcamp, I was able to learn so much things and make a lot of interesting encounters. I am proud to say that I am now a freelance fullstack developer and I am delighted to have chosen to attempt at the Wagon adventure.
I even enjoyed it so much that I’m back today with pleasure as a teacher assistant from time to time. Not bad for someone who’s not very academic, isn’t it? :) Read less

Former account  manager in  Retail Bank, I wanted new challenges and  technical skills, but I never coded before.  I was affraid that 9 weeks wasn't enough to learn a whole new job, but here I am, few weeks laters, with a fullstack junior position, loving every day my choice to change job.
Le Wagon isn't just to learn how to write code, it's also how to think like a developper, how to handle problems/challenges, we worked as a team to learn thing et create web-app. We had a meetings to discuss with passionate Ceo during the weeks, but also with Developper, freelance , product Owner to discuss about the pro and the cons of each Job.
We never felt loss after the Wagon, we knew we had all the tools to improve our skills,  to be confident at a  Job Interview.
Also there is a lot of cool events during the 9 weeks,  between two sessions of hard coding :)! Read less

As a sound engineer for many years, I was lucky to work with a lot of French artists such as Zaz, Raphaël, Lavilliers , Charlie Winston and David Bowies’s producers Mark Plati and Tony Visconti. I had always been attracted to coding but was too busy to get myself into it.
So I went to look for a fast, intense and the best coding bootcamp.
Le Wagon was beyond my expectations. In addition to having taught me the essentials of the basics of code in record time, I was particularly sensitive to the peerless supervision. All the staff is just perfect. They are passionate, involved and attentive. This experience blew my mind and now I just want to put my sound engineer career aside and become a dev !
Well done Le Wagon ! Read less

As an independent consultant in digital strategy, I’m making my clients benefit from all of the advantages technology has to offer to improve their businesses. After 20+ years in this industry, it was time for me to look at how to enrich my value proposition and get a deeper understanding of the technical side of digital transformation.  A fellow consultant who had already gone down that path convinced me to learn code with joining Le Wagon and that’s probably one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.  The 2 month bootcamp was quite intense, the program is extremely sharp and we worked it out thanks to the excellent pedagogy and Le Wagon’s over the top educational team and tools. Each day started with a short lecture and we spent the rest of it working in pairs on very concrete projects to immediately practice the lectured concepts. I enjoyed the broad diversity and enthousiasm of my classmates : everybody was there to learn and we worked hard in a great collaborarive hence stimulating atmosphere.   I have since gone back to consulting with much stronger technical skills, which are enabling me to provide my clients with a more efficiently grounded end-to-end service. I strongly recommend Le Wagon !  Read less

 After 5 years spent as retail manager I really felt the need to update my profile and start something new. I wanted to switch to a product career and I have noticed that knowing how to code was a real plus in the requirements. A friend told me about coding bootcamps in Paris and after thorough online check Le Wagon website and alumni experiences totally convinced me. I wanted to this. I loved the 2 months bootcamp, loved the vibe, everybody was super focused, nice and fun (great afterworks and networking evenings during the week). With 0 knowledge before my prepwork I was learning and teachers, assistant teachers, classmates were super helpful. I loved the concept to work in pairs and for the final project in groups of four, you learn a lot also from your pairs. It was one of my best experiences, I fell in love with front-end development and UX/UI design. I am currently preparing my PM interviews and knowing how to code helps me a great deal to see the whole picture and also to better understand the developers work. There is also a very active alumni network you benefit from with great information.  Read less

I rarely ever say stuff like this, but joining Le Wagon is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Why? Because of its laser-focused curriculum taught by people who not only know their craft, but can also break down complex content for complete noobs like myself.

The vibe was also awesome thanks to the other students, who were all likeminded self-starters keen to learn and collaborate with no BS. This made me realize that learning a difficult technical skill can and should be a good balance between having fun and supporting each other, and maintaining intensity and pushing each other—a learning experience like no other. 

It’s been 18 months since taking the bootcamp, and although I didn’t work as a developer, it did help me transition from working in the finance industry to working with a tech startup. I recently decided to pick up coding again, which has been a smooth process by self-studying the entire curriculum again with its consistently updated exercises. Read less

After spending all my career in Finance in the same large company I wanted to change my life and start something new. Code was for me the best skill to learn for whatever I wanted to do. Le Wagon was more than a coding bootcamp, it was a really amazing experience and way above my expectations.
The pedagogy of Le Wagon is unbelievable. In just 2 months, I was able to go from zero notion of coding to developing full websites from scratch for friends or family. I also feel confident enough to develop my knowledge with all the resources available on Le Wagon alumni website.
Also, Le Wagon community is a second family. The staff, alumni, students and professors are always here to help, explain, advise, motivate, go out even after the bootcamp.
I loved my experience so much that I didn’t want to let go of it and am now launching Le Wagon in a new country. Read less

I've been working with developers for two years now through my Marketing and IT background. For those who worked with developers but never coded, you get what I mean if I say that you can only understand what they do to some degree. Doing this Bootcamp made all web-development concepts much clearer.

I did Le Wagon to acquire new skills and eventually launch my projects in the future. I'm the curious type and I don't want to stick to only one job in my career.

The experience was intense but you will learn something new every day. I had no coding skills before attending the Bootcamp and after two months I was able with the help of my team to conceive two apps using Ruby on Rails. So if I could do it you can do it too.

After the Bootcamp, the active community will help you land a job through networking and career advice. Everything is made for you to succeed after these two-months.

After doing Le Wagon, I can definitely say that web-development made it to my list of interests.
If you always wanted to learn how to code, trust Le Wagon to help you do the job.
