- Le Wagon - Great!- 6/20/2019
I’ve been doing a masters in Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship at LSE this year and decided to take the Le Wagon course (batch #240) during my exam period as a supplement to my studies. Previously I worked in NGOs and social science research, but always felt a pull to gain technical skills and learn how to build things on my own. I wasn’t very confident I would be able to do it, and even during the first few weeks of the course I felt slow and behind. But thanks to the thorough lectures every morning, the individualized support provided by TAs throughout the day, and - crucially - the daily reassurance from every staff member at Le Wagon, two months later I graduated knowing 1000% more than when I started. Coding still isn’t easy, but Le Wagon gives its students the tools to be able to continue learning the material and honing in on certain areas depending on the project - so it doesn’t really feel over. I never would have been able to do this on my own and would retake it in a heartbeat.
- Expérience inoubliable!- 9/25/2020Pierre Deveix • Junior Fullstack Developer • Graduate • Course: Web Development Course - Full-time • Campus: Bordeaux • Verified via LinkedIn
Lorsque j'ai décidé de changer radicalement de carrière professionnelle pour devenir développeur, plusieurs options de formation s'offraient à moi. J'ai opté pour celle du Wagon qui me semblait vraiment correspondre à mes attentes: aujourd'hui je suis convaincu d'avoir fait le bon choix! - Il y a d'abord la question de la rapidité: je suis le premier surpris du niveau de connaissances acquis en seulement 9 semaines. Certes le rythme des cours était très intense, parfois difficile à tenir ; il faut s'y préparer mentalement! Mais la pertinence pédagogique et l'encadrement des professeurs nous ont permis d'acquérir des compétences complexes qui me semblent aujourd'hui naturelles et aller de soi. - Le contenu des cours ensuite: en tant qu'ancien enseignant, la pertinence pédagogique est pour moi un élément très important. Or, force est de constater que l'organisation des cours au Wagon est mûrement réfléchie. Chaque nouvelle connaissance théorique abordée en cours est manipulée par les étudiants dans un nombre incalculable d'exercices concrets ; si bien que ces connaissances finissent par devenir des automatismes qui viennent fortifier notre pratique de futur développeur. Ces exercices sont eux-mêmes ré-exploités dans des projets finaux poussés en production et qui constituent nos premières réalisations de développeurs. - La qualité de l'équipe enfin: tous les enseignant qui interviennent pendant ces 9 semaines de formation sont eux-mêmes d'anciens élèves du wagon. Ils connaissent pleinement les difficultés auxquelles nous nous confrontons puisqu'ils les ont vécues eux-mêmes! Leurs remarques sont toujours très pertinentes et rassurantes. Plutôt que de nous donner les réponses aux problèmes que nous rencontrons, ils nous aident à trouver la solution par nous-mêmes en nous guidant sur la bonne voie. Et cela dans la bonne humeur et la bienveillance. Au final, je recommande chaleureusement la formation du Wagon pour toutes celles et ceux qui, comme moi il y a quelques mois, rêvent de devenir développeurs et hésitent à franchir le cap, en se disant que c'est trop tard, trop dur ou tout simplement impossible. Il suffit juste de prendre le train en marche!
- Le Wagon Montreal - 110%- 9/23/2020Juan-Miguel Hernandez • Fullstack Developer • Graduate • Course: Web Development Course - Full-time • Campus: Montreal • Verified via LinkedInThere sure are a ton of choices out there nowadays when it comes to online learning or bootcamps for all sorts of subjects. It can be hard to filter out legit from the less legit courses. But one coding course I can certainly vouch for is Le Wagon! I joined the pool of international alumni of Le Wagon in September 2020 after completing the intensive 9-week program in Montreal.What makes this course absolutely unique in my opinion is the obvious amount of preparation that was put into this course. I came into this adventure with a background in music, so I had no previous experience coding whatsoever. So, without a doubt, there are times during this course when you ask yourself how the heck you will be able to process the amount of material that is given to you on a daily base… that's when it is especially important to remember the most important motto at Le Wagon: "Trust the process!". And you MUST trust it because it really works! As I progressed through the course there often were these moments when previous material came back into the picture and finally made sense. But the magic happens in the last three weeks of the course when we worked on our 2 final projects. We had to build two apps from the ground up, which does seem daunting at first. Very daunting!!! But quickly enough I realized why Le Wagon is structured the way it is.And yes, the course is so beautifully structured, but what makes it just perfect is the amazing teachers we have during the course, as well as TAs who have been through the process recently, and the buddy system which means you always have access to someone to talk code with, help you understand or solidify the concepts. Le Wagon welcomes people of all walks of life, with the most diverse backgrounds. I met so many amazing people during this course with whom I know I will have long-lasting friendships. So this course is for ANYONE who is motivated to learn and have a strong start to the wonderful world of code!I certainly could have learned to code on any of the many online courses, but I am certain that by now I still would be a long while away from building an app from scratch, I would not have the tools or confidence to start working in the industry so quickly and I would not be part of the biggest and most amazing coding community on planet earth!
- Mr- 9/21/2020Lyubomir Dias • Graduate • Course: Web Development Course - Full-time • Campus: London • Verified via LinkedInI was a student in batch #423 of Le Wagon (London, 2020) and loved the experience. I came from a self employed and sports background (and heavy gamer as a hobby) and was looking for web development training to be able to transition into technical role.
Le Wagon provides in 9 weeks a very complete training on the basics of front & back-end web development, enabling you to very easily continue learning code quickly by yourself. As a bonus, it gives you a good flavor of what is product development, pitching a project and entrepreneurship. It has a great and extremely available teaching staff, great courses and resources that remain fully available after the end of the training. Rhythm is intense but very balanced between courses, exercises and conferences with entrepreneurs. Atmosphere is extremely friendly and motivating. Looking at former students’ careers evolution after le Wagon, this training really answers to a wide range of objectives: become a developer, entrepreneur or just gain technical background. In summary, great staff and it was an amazing journey!
- Le Wagon Bootcamp- 9/21/2020Declan • Full stack developer • Graduate • Course: Web Development Course - Full-time • Campus: London • Verified via LinkedIn
Before the boot camp I had just come back from travelling. I wanted to start a career in the software development industry, I was recommended this course from an alumni who was a family friend. I thought I would give the course a go and I’m very glad I did. Instantly we were working with other people on the course, coding alongside each other. When you first start learning any coding language it’s a pretty daunting task. But with the TA’s constantly on call ready to jump in and explain anything I didn’t understand, you pick it up rapidly. The best part about the course, aside from learning how to create a fully functional web application in under 9 weeks, was the community Le Wagon is. I enjoyed every moment of the boot camp and will miss all the TA’s and students in batch 423. I’m looking forward to using all of the hard and soft skills they’ve given me, as well as being a part of the Le Wagon community.
- Best bootcamp- 9/21/2020Fakhri Aslan • Student • Course: Web Development Course - Full-time • Campus: London • Verified via LinkedInI discovered Le Wagon after googling coding boot camps because I was trying to learn to code and eventually find a job in tech. As someone who comes from a social sciences background, self-studying seemed like a good idea in my mind, but in practice, it was extremely challenging. I am now very happy that I chose Le Wagon because the fantastic support and guidance I received during my 9 weeks there gave me the confidence and technical knowledge to launch my own projects and to keep leaning new coding concepts on my own afterward. I would have never believed if someone told me that I could build a fully functional web service in just 2 weeks, but Le Wagon proved me wrong. One of the things that stood out to me the most was the sheer amount of coding we did every day. It was intense in a good way. I can now confidently say that I am used to that intensity, and the discipline Le Wagon instilled into me will be a massive advantage in my future work.
- Best Career Decision- 9/19/2020Before I started at Le Wagon, I was working for a small tech start-up in a Business Development role. I absolutely loved the company however I came to realise I wanted to be more involved in the tech side of things, and therefore decided to enrol in the bootcamp to make this happen. This was the best career decision I’ve made to date.Of course I was nervous at the thought of learning so many new things in such a short period of time, but the Le Wagon staff are amazingly supportive even before your official ‘first day’. I felt excited more than anything when my first day came round. Le Wagon was undoubtedly the most intense learning experience of my life, but somehow I enjoyed every minute. I absolutely loved challenging myself, and learning new technologies, and my course mates and the staff were so supportive, you really never felt like you were asking a ‘silly question’.I was particularly excited to be entering the world of Tech as a woman, an industry we are notoriously underrepresented in – and found so many inspiring women on my journey, both studying alongside me and as teaching staff. I admire Le Wagon’s goal to get more women involved in tech, and look forward to contributing to this mission myself.I would recommend the Le Wagon bootcamp to anyone who is wanting a change of career, looking to upskill themselves or simply wanting a challenge. I feel like you are not only paying for the teaching and resources, but also buying into an insanely supportive community which you can rely on for life!
- Amazing Experience- 9/19/2020Cassiano Tadao Yasumitsu • Full Stack Developer • Graduate • Course: Web Development Course - Part-time • Campus: Tokyo • Verified via LinkedInBest choice ever! Amazing experience, excellent instructors. The extremely complete course.
Support is awesome.
- Enriching and life change experience- 9/18/2020Carolina • Software Engineer • Student • Course: Web Development Course - Full-time • Campus: Madrid • Verified via LinkedInAfter searching for web development bootcamps in Europe, I finally decided to join Le Wagon in Madrid, for the immersive 9 weeks program.As their slogan states “Change your life, learn to code”, I can guarantee that for me it was a life changing experience!Besides from learning to code from HTML, CSS, Javascript and Ruby on Rails, you also learn other frameworks and best practices.The entire program is well designed. You learn design notions, participate in a design sprint with prototype and have workshop and talks with entrepreneurs. The whole experience is super enriching.
Another pro is having full access to the platform for life and access to community of alumni, where they are always willing to help you out and share lots of good information.They have a buddy system where you have the opportunity to work with your colleagues in pair and it helps a lot to improve yourself.The final 3 weeks working in groups is really what your day to day would look like if you decide to join a company to work as a developer, product manager and so son.Teachers are highly qualified and always willing to help and share their knowledge.I am glad to have decided to join Le Wagon, and also to have had the opportunity to work as a teacher assistant in other batches.
- Review Le Wagon Bordeaux- 9/18/2020Dans le cadre d'une reconversion professionnelle, je viens de terminer la formation de 9 semaines au Wagon Bordeaux Lot # 435.
Je recherche un bootcamp avec une formation intensive et immersive. J'ai été servi! Je suis très satisfait de cette formation qui est allée au-delà de mes espérances.
Il faut bien sur s'accrocher!
Le staff de Bordeaux est très compétent et pédagogue, tout comme leurs supports mis à disposition.
Nous sommes très bien accompagnés tout au long de la formation. L'ambiance générale entre le staff et les élèves était très bonne, rien de plus motivant que d'être boosté et d'apprendre dans de bonnes conditions.
A la suite de cette belle expérience, je recommande les yeux fermés la formation au Wagon de Bordeaux à toutes les personnes curieuses, motivées et recherchées par les métiers de la tech.
Le fait de n'avoir jamais codé avant, ne doit pas être une barrière!
- Web Development Course - Full-Time- 9/17/2020Isabelle Lafont • Full Stack Dev Web • Graduate • Course: Web Development Course - Full-time • Campus: Paris • Verified via LinkedInLe Wagon was one of the greatest experiences in my life! I wanted to change my career-path after working in cinema for more than 14 years and attending Le wagon was just an evidence.
The teachers are great and all the staff and TA was supporting and always presents to help us and learn us how to code. It was a really intensive bootcamp, specially since we were in full remote, but it was also a very rewarding experience. I am now confident to code and to start my new professionnal goal. All the staff did everything too to keep a good mood and strong bound with our batch buddies even if we were in full remote !
I highly recommend Le wagon to anyone wishing to learn a solid foundation in code and living a great human experience.
- Melhor Escolha- 9/15/2020Kimberli • Graduate • Course: Web Development Course - Full-time • Campus: Sao Paulo • Verified via LinkedInPosso dizer que escolher fazer parte do Le wagon esse ano foi a melhor escolha que e poderia ter feito. Não é um curso facil, é cansativo, exige muito comprometimento do aluno, mas vale totalmente a pena, a metodologia, o suporte dos professores e staffs em geral é incrivel, as amizades e contatos que fazemos no decorrer do curso é um bonus maravilhos.
- Great part-time option- 9/15/2020Davide • Partner Operations Manager • Student • Course: Web Development Course - Part-time • Campus: Tokyo • Verified via LinkedInI recently completed the part-time full-stack web development program in Le Wagon. When I joined I was already working in the tech industry in Tokyo in a IT project management job but I was feeling the lack of solid web development basis to understand the details of the projects I was involved in. I wanted to learn in a classroom environment to keep the pace and motivation, while being able to work during the day as usual, and Le Wagon provided the perfect solution for me.
I was impressed with the educational curriculum that keeps gradually building on knowledge until the final group project, where we develop a web application from scratch. Now I feel more confident working in a tech environment and ready to keep learning with strong basis, and hope to keep in touch with the great network of teachers and alumni!
