I joined Le Wagon's Batch 6 in Paris (January – March 2015) and since then, I have been building a web agency while becoming a teacher at Le wagon on the side.

Why Le Wagon?
I see 3 main reasons why I joined Le Wagon's FullStack program at first:
1) Trying online tutorials, I always had the same outcome: "How to switch from theory to practice?"
2) I found it very hard to launch a web-based business without coding skills or without the ability to understand developers
3) I wanted to test my ideas from scratch without loosing my mind in the World Wide Web of Ideas (this is something many non-technical profiles do when thinking of a business and it often leads to frustration and to giving up).
That seemed to fit Le Wagon's mission. After meeting the core team, I decided to join the program.
The Full-stack Program
This is a 9-week intensive program where you'll learn coding best practices and develop your technical mindset. One of the main strengths of their program is the balance between teaching best practices, bringing support to students and fostering autonomy and curiosity.
- You spend enough time to learn the basics during lectures or when cracking Le Wagon's challenges.
- You learn how to be autonomous, use powerful tools and have an efficient workflow.
- You are challenged but also supported to ensure you understand the core concepts.
After 6 weeks of training, you build an Airbnb-like platform within a team and you put it in production.
The last two weeks are dedicated to working on your own personal project (or you can work on a project of a team mate), being advised and assisted by le Wagon's mentors.
Rediscover the pleasure of learning
At the beginning, I was one of those to say I'd like to learn to code but did not have enough "engineering background". At Le Wagon I had the opportunity to remember that learning a new skill is not always a question of talent.
With strong dedication, commitment and above all, curiosity, you will find your way and leverage Le Wagon's methodology. At Le Wagon, you will not only be guided but also challenged to make the concept yours. Nothing comes free, and to learn anything valuable, you have to fight for it first!
Learn from amazing people
Amazing people with different backgrounds will surround you. The staff carefully select students to create an efficient and fun learning atmosphere.
From the diversity of your buddies, you'll discover a new way of thinking. Not only from engineers that will introduce you to logical structures but also from litterary profiles who will show you that sometimes efficient wording is worth tons of logical conditions.
The staff is amazing and they are always challenging themselves to improve their program. After a few batches as a Teaching Assistant and then as a Teacher, I can tell that from their 145-batch experience they have built a great methodology and a strong education platform (that I still use!).
Life After Le Wagon
The scope is huge. Lots of your classmates have an entrepreneurial background and will keep working on their project, follow teammates they have met or dedicate to new opportunities.
Some want to become developers and will apply to a junior position. Lots of them get cool offers because they are ready to learn, be productive on their very first day and bring diversity to dev teams.
Others will apply for Product Manager positions and leverage on their dual skills in business / code to collaborate efficiently with developers.
First, I personally decided to start as a freelancer and build apps for clients but also provide them with MVP services, to help identify their product and have a lean roadmap. It was an opportunity to keep on learning every day while I fulfil my entrepreneurial thirst.
Now I have turned this freelance activity into a web agency. We are specialized in digitizing corporate processes. We design & develop simple solutions to complex corporate problems.
