AI Software bootcamp | On campus, full-time

I was part of batch 676 and had an amazing time as I got to learn coding with some of the best teachers from all over the world as well as other students who were motivated to learn. There is a reason Le Wagon is known as the best coding bootcamp in the world and you feel it before you even set foot in the classroom. I would highly recommend anyone interested in learning to code to join Le Wagon as it is truly one of the most life-changing events that I was part of.

I used to work in Product in the automotive industry. After 4 years I was looking for a change but I was lacking tech skills to get a job a job in Tech so I decided to apply to the Full-time Web Development bootcamp of Le Wagon. I loved this experience from Day 1: being back at school, learning so many concepts from great teachers everyday, and meeting so many inspiring people coming from very different backgrounds. It was a life-changing experience for me and would highly advise to anyone who is looking for a big change in his career and get right tech skills and tools to thrive to go for it!

Before starting the bootcamp I was working as a QA Lead. I wanted to shift from testing to writing software so I signed up for Le Wagon. The whole team were extremely supportive and I was surrounded by motivated and driven people - it is an empowering and exhilarating environment in which to learn. I am thrilled that I took this route and would recommend it to anyone!

I was always interested in the tech world and amazed by programming. Before the course, programming seemed to be unreachable and only for the best tech geeks. But at le wagon teachers patiently guide you to become an actual programmer. The teachers are very friendly and also professional. The mood in the classroom is chilled and feels like you are family, but at the same time you learn a lot and need to focus. But you want to focus because everybody motivates you. Additionally, programming is learning by doing and you do a lot of practical work. But it is very exhausting, too. The course gave me the ability to think about different ways to reach my goal. All in all I loved it and an only recommend it to anyone!

Le Wagon was everything I could expect from a course and so much more. Even though there's plenty to learn in just 9 weeks, the hands-on approach, constant feedback, and helpful staff make it possible. In addition, focus on interactions between the students and the teachers gives an amazing sense of community.

Before joining Le Wagon I was a student in Marketing, but I felt that it wasn't something for me. So I started exploring other paths and came across coding. I really liked to do it and spend a couple of months on my own trying to learn it. But something was missing. That's when I found Le Wagon, I never expected it to bring me SO MUCH value even after having learned the basics of coding on my own. It's not just the exercises, but the community around it that really add a lot of value. Both Teachers and your fellow students are really valuable. Joining Le Wagon was the best choice I've made for my coding career! As I was part of a hybrid batch, I experienced both LW Amsterdam & LW Brussels, both we're extremely good and top notch.

After long years of regret working in a lab as a physicist, I'd finally decided to take some risk and change careers, so I searched for good programming courses, as programming is something I've always been interested in, and I found Le Wagon's Bootcamp program. At first, I admit I wasn't quite sure of my choice, I was worried if I could make it, or if companies would really hire me but I enrolled in Le Wagon's web development course anyway and it was beyond my expectations. I'd already heard the course was good before but experiencing it and seeing all the insecurities going down as you trust the program is amazing! Plus...if you are worried whether the stack they teach is too limited. Believe me, it is not. If you are a really committed student you can take the best of it and build up an impressive foundation as a web developer.

Etudiante à Kedge Business School, j'ai eu l'opportunité de pouvoir réaliser la formation de web dev cet été.Une expérience intense et enrichissante qui m'a fait découvrir le monde du web. Un contenu et une équipe pédagogique au top du top !  Je recommande à 100% ! Merci le Wagon Bordeaux ! 

Before the bootcamp I was an Art and Design technician at a sixth form college, during the 6 weeks summer holiday I decided it would be the perfect time to develop a skill that I had been practicing on Codecademy casually during lockdown, and fortunately the college allowed me an extra 4 weeks off to complete the full-time web dev course. During the first few weeks, I found the bootcamp very challenging as I was learning so much in a short amount of time. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by it, but it’s important to stayed focused and motivated and eventually understand all of these new concepts and syntax. Fortunately the Le Wagon set-up accommodates for this, and it’s easy to keep motivated as there are helpful TA’s that gave me guidance and walked me through parts where I struggled, there is also a really good buddy-system where I was paired up with a different course mate each day to work together through the daily challenges. This made the community of the course welcoming and easy to navigate as you felt you could talk to anyone and even with a big class you would quickly know everyone, which is a helpful resource on the course and also when you finish it as you can stay in contact and then you’ll have at least 30+ people that are skilled in the same tech-stack as you.

Before starting the course I was working as a Merchandiser at ASOS but feeling really unfulfilled. I didn’t feel like I was using my brain the way I wanted to, and wasn’t stimulated in my job. I had a conversation with one of my friends who had done the Le Wagon course, and he recommended it mainly for the amazing stuff he had learnt but also because of the fun he had on the course! After the 9 weeks, I feel I have built strong foundations to become a web developer, and Le Wagon has given me the skills to not only learn a programming language but also how to work as a team when developing web applications. On top of this, the extra careers help we received in the 10th week of the course was hugely beneficial, as it taught us all the ways in which you can show off everything you’ve learnt for future employers to see! I highly recommend Le Wagon if you’re looking for a change in your career or if you want to learn more about web development!

Hi! My name is Henry Mutschler and I recently graduated from Le Wagon’s Web Development Bootcamp in London (batch #698). Prior to joining the course, I had just graduated from my bachelor’s degree in Business and Management and had no knowledge in coding whatsoever. I was always very keen to learn how to code, however never had the time, patience, or base knowledge to teach myself. Therefore, I decided to join the Web Development Bootcamp London in July ’21, which in hind-sight was the best decision for me. I completed the full-time, 9-week course and can now confidently say that I have learned languages such as ruby-on-rails, HTML, JavaScript and CSS and others.   Overall, Le Wagon has not only taught me how to code but also how to work on projects as a group. I am extremely grateful to the amazing team and my batch mates and will always look back at my time there with great pleasure. If you are also trying to expand your knowledge on coding, Le Wagon is the best place to go, and I could not recommend it more! 

Hello! I am Mert, I’m from Turkey and I recently graduated from Le Wagon’s web development bootcamp (batch#700 – September’21).  
I have a degree on Chemical & Biological Engineering; before joining the bootcamp I worked in different areas trying to find my way, but I always felt something was missing. While trying to understand what I wanted to work on, I  realized that I really have a passion for UI/UX design and web development, which led me to looking for courses where I can expand my knowledge and shape the next steps of my career. Then, I found Le Wagon. The school immediately impressed me with all the positive reviews it had, so I decided to give it a go. That decision was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. 
From day one ‘till the end of the bootcamp, we had full support from our teachers and TAs on how to approach problems, and how to solve them systematically. The buddy system is a wonderful thing; you get to know your peers and it gives you different perspectives on finding solutions to problems you face. Le Wagon doesn’t just teach you Ruby or web development; they teach you how to learn a language, and how to approach & solve problems. In a matter of only 9 weeks, me and my group, who had no previous knowledge about coding, were able to create this beautiful web app: https://www.streamdream.me 
So, if you are looking to either start your coding career or expand your knowledge, you don’t need to look anywhere else. Le Wagon is the school for it, and I can not recommend it more! 

Le Wagon's bootcamp was incredible! It's very hands on and focused on solving exercises, which is key to learn any new skill. The teachers were one of the best part of it, they are so knowledgeable and they make it easy to learn, because almost all of them are alumni of Le Wagon. After 9 weeks I was able to build a web app from scratch with no tech background, which is awesome!

Amazing bootcamp. It is, as they say, a life changing bootcamp. Super grateful of their kindness and professionalism. The community they have created is amazing and will help you in your next steps, which I think is one of the most important things to be worried about when choosing a bootcamp.

For a long time before this summer, I have been trying to take the first step towards becoming a developer. The seed was planted when I took a simple introduction to programming class as an elective at university. It was my first exposure to programming in any form, and despite the class being quite basic I was instantly hooked. The ability to solve problems and think analytically was something I always gravitated towards, and programming (even in this most basic form) was just so delightful and interesting. This was something, for the first time, that I could really see myself enjoying in the future as a profession. The problem was that I wasn’t a computer science student, and I knew nothing about how to get started after finishing up that course. I didn’t know what kind of jobs I wanted or what jobs were even available. I didn’t know what programming language was the best to start with, or how should I practice, or even what resources were the best place for me to develop my skills.  I made very slow progress since it was difficult to know whether the direction I was headed was the one I wanted to go in. I wanted so badly to take the first step towards becoming a developer, but I had no idea which direction that step should be and where that step would lead to. It felt like I was lost in the wilderness of all the information that was out there. The first time I heard about Le Wagon was from a friend of mine, who unbeknownst to me, was going through a similar situation as I was. At first, I was skeptical. I had heard very little of bootcamps, but I was doubtful that I could learn what I wanted to learn in the span of 9 weeks. Especially considering the syllabus indicated that the teachers would begin teaching from the very basics of programming, which I already knew. I didn’t want to relearn the basics like iteration or conditionals or functions, but rather I wanted to learn how to create something real. I wanted the skills, and perhaps more importantly, the direction to be able to turn my code into a real-life application that can solve actual problems and pains. As I read more and more positive reviews online, I decided to give it a shot. So, I signed up for the Web Development course at Le Wagon for the summer. While I was hopeful about what the experience could do for me, I was internally preparing for a good experience, but not something profound that might help me decide whether I would commit to this kind of profession and perhaps point me to where I should go next.I was very happy to be wrong.The bootcamp, although it started with the basics, was consistently engaging and fun throughout. The staff was fantastic and it was very easy to fall into the routine of the day, which consisted mostly of completing fun challenges on the topic of the day’s lecture. Something really clicked for me when our teacher introduced the Ruby on Rails framework to build web applications. It was the first time in my programming journey where I could begin to see the possible applications I could build. The project weeks alone would have really made the whole bootcamp worth it. It was the highlight of the bootcamp by far for me. Working in a group to create a product is dynamic and rewarding in a way that is hard to explain unless you’ve done it. It was far and away the best way to learn. My teammates and I ended up developing a social networking website for foodies. It was staggering to see how far we had all come since the beginning of the bootcamp and incredibly surreal to see what we were able to build over the span of just two weeks. The most important element that I took away from the bootcamp and the project weeks, however, was that it allowed me to develop the skills and learn the process to turn my ideas into real-life web applications. It was exactly what I had been looking for. I have many more steps to take before I can get to where I want to go. The difference is that I now have a roadmap and some reassurance that I am heading in the right direction. If you find yourself in a situation like mine, where you have many questions and you want to be pointed in the right direction, then Le Wagon would be a good experience for you to have.  

I've always loved technology. From web design projects for personal or professional use, to teaching coding and robotics to elementary students, I jumped in every opportunity possible to learn more. I knew bits and pieces in a lot of things, but I needed to fill in the blanks to be able to create what I had in my mind. I wanted a structured and a cohesive program to move forward.
I found that, but so much more! Le Wagon Web Development bootcamp was an intense 9-week adventure, well beyond my expectations. The Montreal Batch #657 was the best group I could have spent my summer 2021 with, even if I joined remotely from BC day after day. As the weeks flew by, I’ve learned to think as a developer. I've learned to learn as a developer. I've learned what it feels like to be a developer. I had so many crazy moments feeling invincible, and others, not so glamorous, pulling my hair and feeling lost. But amongst all those, in the highs and the lows, I had Le Wagon's team guiding me and never letting me down!
I wanted to be challenged. I was!
I wanted to have fun. I did!
I wanted to push my limits. I had to!
I wanted to be able to look back and celebrate my growth. I sure can!
Le Wagon helped me strengthen a real foundation I can continue to build on as a developer, but also as an entrepreneur. Le Wagon gave me tools to grow on so many levels. Beyond programming languages. Beyond technical skills. And I am very grateful that I embarked on this fantastic journey.

I attended the Le wagon software engineering intensive this year (2021) in London in person. The course is very well designed and has clearly been refined over the years. The best part is you are able to go from cant code to building a full web app within 9 weeks! The teaching assistants were really amazing and super eager to help. Lots of support during the program as well. The group and the teachers were very social which made it even more enjoyable. I highly recommend it.

Before joining Le Wagon I finished the last semester of my finance bachelor's degree. I consider myself a creative person and I was looking to learn a new skill that combines creativity with the logical aspect of finance. I decided to learn to code and after doing some research, enrolled in Le Wagon's 9-week full-time web development bootcamp. The bootcamp was an incredible experience. All of the teachers and teaching assistants were extremely friendly and made a relatively difficult subject digestible and fun to learn. I was surprised to realize how much I learned while applying my skills during project week when we built a web app that allows foodies to create and join niche tasting events. Le Wagon was a great experience overall and I would definitely recommend it for passionate and driven people looking to learn how to code.

From the beginning of the Bootcamp, the teachers kept telling "Trust the program". I didn't know what they meant by that! I questioned everything.
The bootcamp felt overwhelming at first. A lot of new information was thrown at us every day, and the next day built on the previous one. But at some point, everything started coming together: The morning lectures, the buddy system, the live code at 5pm, and then the flashcards in the evening… It just made perfect sense and work out so well, to my surprise. It's a PERFECT program - for everyone - regardless of their background, whether they are coders or non-coders…
The teachers and TA are very knowledgeable. They are extremely friendly and patient. Sometimes they go out of the way to help students, even during lunchtimes or after hours if necessary. The teachers taught me how to code but also how to be patient, be gentle with myself, and work in a team effectively.
The management team is extremely polite and friendly. They're always available to help with any issues, including personal ones. The Community Manager helped me a lot to manage some personal breakdowns.
I also love Le Wagon Montreal's location, the view, and the atmosphere of the campus. Not only that, they have free tea, K-cups coffee, and fruits. And then there is yoga on Wednesdays, Happy Hour on Fridays… A lot of activities besides coding, which is very important to balance the body and the mind.
The Career Week was extremely helpful. I enjoyed the Lunch & Learn sessions with special guests, Alumni Q&A, and talk with an HR specialist. This week served as guidance to find a job, get ready for interviews, polish my resume and Linkedin profile. It was well organized and very informative.
All and all, I am 100% satisfied. Honestly, Le Wagon thought of everything! From the content materials to the well-being of every student. It's hard for me to think of anything for improvement!
If you're on the fence (just like me at the beginning) and wondering if you should take Le Wagon bootcamp or not, please do yourself a favor – take a leap of faith – and GO FOR IT! Like I did. And I'm thrilled that I did. Three words for you: "TRUST THE PROGRAM!"

After a long time of deciding whether to risk taking a course in programming, I decided to jump headfirst into the Le Wagon course.It was a HARD 10 weeks where I learned everything needed to create a web app from scratch.The last 2 weeks were dedicated to a team project where we designed the idea using Figma, built the backend with Ruby on Rails, and the frontend with HTML, CSS, and JS. In the end, it took a great team effort to put all these elements together and create an application. If you are not happy with your job, don't be afraid to take the risk and in the end, the experience will always be rewarding.
