- Daphne Kua • Graduate • Course: Web Development Course - Full-time • Campus: Singapore • Verified via LinkedInI wrote a post to share about how I got interested in programming, why I chose Le Wagon, how the experience was and tips to get the most out of it.

My Le Wagon experience
No doubt the bootcamp was very intensive for me and for most of my peers who also did not have any technical background.- Many new complex concepts were introduced everyday.
- You have to understand those concepts to be able to attempt each day's challenges.
- These challenges usually have several requirements so you have to be at the peak of your concentration in order to piece everything together.
- You have to maintain the same focus for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week over the span of 9 weeks.
As gruelling as it can be, there were many things about Le Wagon that made it such an incredible learning experience.- The curriculum is well-designedTheir choice of programming language, Ruby, is an elegant language that is simple to understand for starters, and mastering it makes it easier to pick up other languages. Other programming concepts are gradually introduced which are updated and relevant, and would help you eventually build full-fledged web applications that you can call your own.- Trust the processIt may be difficult to connect the dots at first, but we were told to "trust the process" from day one. Everything start to come together very beautifully in the final weeks.- Projects simulate real world software developmentStarting from product ideation, user stories, product prototyping, coding, testing, to debugging. We also worked on soft skills such as building resilience, communication, presentation, pair programming and working together in a randomly assigned team.- Everyday is intense but follows a rigid structureThe structure from 9AM to 6PM: 2H lecture + challenges + 1H live codeThere is a clear daily structure so you can easily jump right into it. Lectures are long enough to introduce new concepts yet not overwhelm us too much. When we were stuck on the challenges, the instructors and teaching assistants would guide us on our understanding and problem solving skills, which is crucial when we work independently in future.- The instructors careThe Le Wagon instructors are very passionate in what they do and really want their students to succeed. They had a personal touch towards each of our learning style, be it through explanation, illustrating through drawings and charts, extra practices, additional resources to find out more, etc. They gave us the confidence and reassurance that we needed to keep pushing.- Access to a community of developersWe also get lifetime Slack access to the community of alumni. As with any industry, it is always helpful to have people you can reach out to and get news and insights about the state of the industry.
- Learnt to code, changed my life- 1/15/2021marco checchi • Graduate • Course: Web Development Course - Full-time • Campus: Milan • Verified via LinkedInI was in marketing, I studied management and innovation, but I had seen web developers work at my companied and I always envied their job and their freedom.
A friend of mine recommended le wagon milan, where the organizer is very friendly and entrepeneurial and the course is really good.
I quit my job and went for it.. Just two months after I'm about to launch a mobile app and I got an amazing job offer as a freelance.
It really opened my mind and I had an amazing time with the students, the teachers and the organize, who now are friends to me.
I loved it!
- Great course for career changers- 1/15/2021Erika • Front-end Developer • Graduate • Course: Web Development Course - Full-time • Campus: Montreal • Verified via LinkedInI did Le Wagon’s Full-stack Web Development bootcamp in Montreal (batch #438). Before deciding to change careers I had worked in accounting for 8 years. I joined the bootcamp to solidify the basics of front-end I learned prior to the course, to learn more about back-end and get a more product oriented perspective on web development. It is a bootcamp that really cares about delivering excellent quality, we had plenty of support when we needed (superb student/teacher ratio) and their course material is really well structured.All in all, I had a great experience! I found full-time employment 3 months after completing the course (during a pandemic), so it was time absolutely well spent!
- Web Dev Bootcamp- 1/14/2021Renaud AF • Graduate • Course: Web Development Course - Full-time • Campus: Montreal • Verified via GitHubBefore joining Le Wagon Montreal bootcamp (batch 482), I was working as a consultant in process improvement in France. When I came back to Montreal, I was looking for a new challenge and I learned about Le Wagon on the internet. I decided to join the program because I wanted to learn more about web development and I thought it would be a great complement to my bachelor in IT and Finance. From the beginning to the end, I LOVED my experience. The teachers and teacher assistants were incredible and the curriculum was very well structured. I came in with minimal knowledge about programming and before the end; I was able to fully develop a web app. Don't expect to know everything about coding when you are done with the bootcamp, but you will have the skills set to learn a lot more by yourself! Joining Le Wagon is not only joining a bootcamp, it's joining a family! You have access to a lot of knowledge and you can join any alumni, teacher or TA after you are done if you have any questions. Moreover, I strongly recommend doing the career week after the bootcamp, you learn a lot about the to-dos and to-don't, they connect you with different companies to learn more about the job market and I was able to land an internship with one of the companies! I would 100% recommend Le Wagon, it's an amazing experience!
- Highly recommended!- 1/14/2021Sadegh Houshyar • Data analyst • Graduate • Course: Data Science Course - Full-time • Campus: Montreal • Verified via GitHubThanks to Le Wagon, my dream to become a data scientist has come true. I attended Le Wagon Montreal Data Science and Machine Learning course (batch 514) in October of 2020. before Le Wagon I started my self study plan but I was struggling in finding best learning path, there were a lot of online courses and resources and I could not trust them. Time is money and I did not like to do reworking or wasting time. Le Wagon was recognized for its coding bootcamp in Montreal and when I realized the data science bootcamp had been launched, I decided to register and start my new journey. They covered a lot of subjects in the field of data science. I had never learnt such amount of skills in such a short period of time before. It was beyond my exceptions and I would highly recommend this course to anyone who has a passion for learning data science.
- Great choice!- 1/12/2021Karo • Graduate • Course: Web Development Course - Full-time • Campus: London • Verified via LinkedInDuring the first lockdown in March, I started to do some free online coding courses. I realised that I could do it professionally!
I did my research and picked Le Wagon as they had great reviews and the curriculum was really good too (I consulted that with my friends who work as programmers).
I was in batch 474, started in October 2020, finished in December. It was intense time (I choose the full-time option), but surprisingly I never felt too overwhelmed and at the end of the course I was amazed to see how much I learned in just 2 months. I remember being impressed hearing that some of our teachers and TAs finished the same bootcamp only few months before us and they had a great knowledge and were extremely helpful.
Most of the people in our batch had nothing to do with coding before the bootcamp and by the end we were able to create some really cool web apps!
- Experience Geniale- 1/12/2021Huy Vu Nguyen • Student • Course: Web Development Course - Full-time • Campus: Lyon • Verified via LinkedInJe recommande le bootcamp du Wagon à 100%. En 9 semaines on arrive à acquérir des bases très solides en développement web. Les profs sont investis, ils nous challengent énormément mais sont toujours à l'écoute en cas de besoin. La présence des anciens étudiants en tant que profs assistants est vraiment un plus. Merci à toute l'équipe, ce fut une expérience humaine assez dingue. Si vous hésitez encore, allez sur place parler avec des étudiants, vous allez être surpris de la motivation et la bonne humeur qui règne :)
- Web Dev Bootcamp- 1/12/2021Before joining Le Wagon I was working in sales and was keen to make the switch to become a developer. Le Wagon made the process vey smooth for me, from the interview to the prep work and set up. I joined a hybrid batch which was cool and despite some people not being able to be onsite we still all had the same experience due to the high engagement and activities we done which was great! One of the main reasons I chose Le Wagon was that it was a product focused bootcamp and I got to pitch an idea and build it from scratch which is truly a great skill to be able to have in your locker! The TA’s we had were amazing and very supportive and even after the course have stayed in touch and the careers support team is great also
- A great learning experience- 1/12/2021Nima • Graduate • Course: Web Development Course - Full-time • Campus: Dubai • Verified via LinkedInThe learning experience at Le Wagon is unique and valuable in many different ways. Having graduated from the bootcamp in Dubai (we were the first batch in the city), now I possess many of the important skills I could have never gained by learning on my own.
The learning platform is a just fantastic and with the teachers' support added, you will never feel stuck with something and learning is just guaranteed provided you stay motivated and are interested in the learning material. The learning platform will be available to the student after finishing the bootcamp and unfinished problems can be worked on. For each lesson there is also a recorded lecture that can be watched an unlimited number of time plus well-crafted slides which summarize the lesson. Therefore learning never stops after joining Le Wagon.
I had some significant self-training in programming prior to joining Le Wagon but there was no shortage of new things for me to learn everyday. The program is designed in a way that every motivated person with every level of prior experience in coding (either advanced programmer or absolute newbie) can join and learn.
I should also add that Le Wagon is not all about learning to code. Working as a developer or product manager requires many other skills such as communication skills as well as efficient use of collaboration tools and all of them are practiced during the bootcamp from day zero. These skills are even more important now that remote work is widespread and has become the new norm.
- Highly recommended!- 1/11/2021Leone • Graduate • Course: Data Science Course - Full-time • Campus: London • Verified via LinkedInI am a STEM professional with 10 years of experience in academic research. I wanted to explore new directions for my career in data-driven business roles, so I decided to enroll in the LeWagon Data Science Bootcamp.
I had a fantastic experience and I would warmly recommend the bootcamp to anyone interested in jumping into a Data Science career. The curriculum is really well structured, with a perfect mix of lectures and hands-on practice through coding challenges. All the hot topics in the field are covered in depth in only 9 weeks, from advanced Python Coding to Machine Learning and Deep Learning.
Another highlight of the bootcamp was the 2-weeks final group project. Tackling a real business problem from scratch and getting in ten working days from retrieving the data, to building predictive models, all the way to deploying a real data science app in production was an invaluable experience.
- Outstanding course!- 1/11/2021Lucas • Graduate • Course: Web Development Course - Part-time • Campus: Montreal • Verified via LinkedInI highly recommend this bootcamp. Amazing staff, extensive curriculum and a very 'hands on deck' approach.
- Le Wagon incredible bootcamp- 12/26/2020José Miguel Santarém Correia Hargreaves Pimenta • Graduate • Course: Web Development Course - Full-time • Campus: Sao Paulo • Verified via LinkedInI did the Le Wagon Web Development in São Paulo Brazil, Batch #503. And it was an heck of an experience.
I started studying programming on my own a few month before I decided to join Le Wagon. Python was the first language I learned. I was not very sure about doing a bootcamp. My alone studies were going well, but it felt I was going to slow.
When I joined Le Wagon full time bootcamp in October 2020 for 9 weeks of intensive programming, I learned a lot more than in the last 4 or 5 months I was studying by my self.
Le Wagon bootcamp is amazing, and very well organized. Each day would start with a lesson in the morning, and in the afternoon we would crack our mind trying to solve programming problems. All this made in a beautiful organized platform, where we could open a ticket to ask for a teacher support.
The last 3 weeks of the bootcamp, are projects weeks. The first is the marketplace project and the last two are the students projects.
There is an extra week in the end of the bootcamp that is the carrear week, where we got in touch with companies hiring developers.
Apart from the bootcamp curriculum lessons, in the Le Wagon learning platform, we got acesses to tons of tutorials and learning material.
And one of the best parts is the Le Wagon Slack community. A world wide developers network with thousands of members!
- Data Science- 12/19/2020Such a great experience! I just finished my Data Science bootcamp in Montreal (batch 514) and here is what I have to say:
Teaching style:
Most of it is practice, and the teachers and TAs are so helpful and hands on. The course is 9 weeks and quite intense. I am mind blown by how much i learnt in this period.
Environment:
I did the course during corona times. Mostly everything was virtual. The staff made sure that we would still socialise and by the end of it, my team mates and everyone feel like family. They did a great job at that
Job support:
They have such great tools to help you transition, the have career week and demo day, these are just a few things from the support you actually get from Le Wagon
I am so impressed by this bootcamp and so glad I did it.
