AI Software bootcamp | On campus, full-time

I was doing something completely different than software development or software engineering. But when I discovered software development, I instantly fell in love with it. I love the tech industry, how versatile is and how you can constantly grow and learn.I wanted to learn to code because is one of the most useful skills of the 21st century . I think this industry will open many opportunities for me.I started self-learning, and I did some online courses but I was a bit stuck. I knew the syntax, how does it work and the basic programming concepts, but I didn’t know how to build a project from scratch, so I needed some help.After I have completed some online courses I had 2 choices , do I want to go back to school for another 4 years to get a computer since degree or do I want to go to a coding bootcamp. I definitely didn’t want to go back to school for another 4 years.One of the things I was really worried about was, I will be taken seriously if i don’t have a computer science degree, and I have thought about it for a while, I have spoke with a lot of people and I quickly realized that there are so many people in this industry who come from so many different paths of life. Obviously a computer science is still currently the most popular way to become a software developer but definitely it’s not the only way.So I decided to join Le Wagon, an international coding bootcamp. I did a full time course in China, it was very intensive and very challenging but I love the teachers, the set up, the whole course material, the teaching style of the teachers. Le wagon really gives you the support to become a real software engineer. After I have finished Le wagon course I was able to develop a project from scratch, to deploy it to production and I was confident I can handle a developer position. After one month I got my first job as a developer in a company with more than 3000 employees and more than 600 engineers.The most interesting part is that, after I completed the 9 weeks with Le wagon I am still learning with them. You have the course material and anytime you can rewatch a lecture, their teachers offer you support when you are stuck at your job. I feel that they are always there for me. To join Le wagon was the best decision I have ever made. My life changed radically and I really appreciate what they have done for me. I highly recommend it!

 I wanted to learn how to code to secure a better future for myself and to discover a passion. I definitely have a passion for software development so I quit my job to learn how to code thanks to Le Wagon.
I’m 30 years old so I didn’t have time to study computer engineering for 4-5 years. And why should I go down that route anyway when I can learn it in 9 weeks instead? It may sound crazy if you never heard about bootcamps but it’s the truth. You can learn it in 9 weeks.
In my opinion Le Wagon is “the best” in the business. It has the most kind and helpful instructors – all of whom were experts in their fields – who did everything they could to teach you.  And it’s extremely helpful, with access to countless additional educational resources.
Ultimately, Le Wagon knows exactly what to teach and how to teach it. They offer a brilliant community with a curriculum that is intertwined with a “practice makes perfect” approach which reflects the latest technology.
During the bootcamp, learning new things on a daily basis was great, but to actually practice what you learn everyday, that was priceless. After the bootcamp you join a worldwide community with people who are willing to help.
We often had weekly webinars, which were great. They offered a chance to understand the sector by listening to developer’s stories and asking questions to people who have achieved great success. 
The very last week of the bootcamp, “Career Week” was super helpful because when you finally finish the 9 intense weeks, it is easy to feel lost. Career week prepares you very well for this situation psychologically. It gives you guidance and makes the transition easy for you after graduating.
I recently landed my first job in tech as a Software Developer for NEAR Protocol, and I can’t wait to see what the future brings! 
My favourite memory of the bootcamp is the day we built the Mr. Cocktail app on our own because it is the first project where we implemented everything we had learned so far.
When I saw that everybody has a different approach, I realized that there is no best way to do a project, because there are so many ways you can code a solution.
I wanted to learn how to code to secure a better future for myself and to discover a passion. No matter what you do, you better have a passion for it. Otherwise, it will be very hard to pursue your idea. I definitely have a passion for software development so I quit my job to learn how to code thanks to Le Wagon.
I was inspired by the concept that software is the future. I’ll never forget the feeling I had when I saw Steve Job’s first presentation about the first iPhone. The first iPhone looked like magic to me. I learned how to code because I want to be part of that kind of magic in the future.

After graduating, I felt like Le Wagon gave me the boost that I needed to become a real participant in the tech sector, and it also taught me how to learn, which is one of the “must have features” of a software developer.

Before joining Le Wagon, I was working into logistics field. I had a lot responsibilities (which I liked) and a good salary but I always felt like something was missing. A friend told me about programming, how great and interesting it was so I did some online courses to know a bit more about it.Seeing all the possibilities that it could offer, I was really tempted to give it a try. Obviously, I hesitated a while before leaving my comfort zone but finally I took the plunge and applied for Le Wagon Web Development bootcamp in Madrid. Two weeks after finishing the bootcamp, I believe this was one of the best decisions I ever made. One thing for sure, this experience is certainly one of the most challenging thing I have ever done. The students need to be very committed in order to really take advantage of it. The teachers and assistants take the time to explain and they support you through the whole process. The program is really well structured and it's a great thing for people who never coded before (like me). A lot of people who did the bootcamp said it but I have to admit that it's quite amazing the quantity of knowledge you can get in so short period of time. Also, you have the occasion to meet many great people from different backgrounds and countries. After the 9 weeks of intense coding, we had a « career week » where you can learn different tips from different people on how to get into the web development market. Now, I am looking for a job where I can apply what I learned. Another great point is that you have access to a huge amount of information and platforms to support you (not to mention you have a lifetime access to the Le Wagon community). All I can say is that if you are considering changing you career path and becoming a developer, the bootcamp of Le Wagon is certainly the best way to start your journey!

The Program is overall good, the course material is in a very structured way. And it basically taught the whole developing process if you wanna build a project by your own which is very practical! And the instructor and staff are really nice, we also have some fun during the learning journey. If you are in ShenZhen or Shanghai, you wanna change your career path, Le Wagon china will be a very good fit.

It took me a while to decide to do the Bootcamp, but once I was there, the only regret I had was not doing it sooner! I decided to do Le Wagon's Bootcamp in Lisbon because I wanted to know how everything worked behind the digital world scenes and to be independent with what I could create with this knowledge. Spoiler alert! I’ve got what I asked for and much more. The course is very demanding, so make sure you have the time to dedicate your full attention to it, but the rewards are totally worth it! The curriculum is broad and relevant and their teaching methodology is going to challenge you and push you to progress each day. The best part is that you’ll always feel supported. I think the community at Le Wagon’s Lisbon was what kept me going, the teachers are incredibly knowledgeable and talented and the staff is so supportive and kind. My teammates are also such legends, I’m really thankful that I’m now part of this community for life. Yes, you’ll have lifetime access to all the course curriculum (and its updates), career resources, and an extensive slack alumni/teachers community. If you’re like me and you’re looking for an accelerated transition into the tech industry my advice is to just do it. 

I attended Le Wagon in Tokyo in 2021 and I had a great experience! The teachers were really friendly, helpful and knowledgeable with real life experience working in teach for quite some time. Even though the main language and framework taught at Le Wagon (Ruby and Ruby on Rails) isn't super commonly used by bigger companies, they teach you more than only a single framework, they teach you how to problem solve with code and how to work together as a teach when building larger projects, which has really come in handy now when I'm working as a full time developer. I would strongly recommend Le Wagon to anyone wanting to get into code, not only if you are a beginner but also if you are like I was with some prior experience! 

Le Wagon was a very rewarding training. More than a classic training in Web development, we acquire knowledge but also methods of analysis and work. The teachers know how to explain and make you understand the exercises, the lessons, the life on the boot camp and especially the life after the training because they were in our shoes a few months/years before. This is what makes Le Wagon a complete and inspiring training for all students. I now feel able to continue learning on my own and apply for job offers.

Le Wagon will teach you all the necessary aspects of building a web app. From Backend in Ruby on Rails to Frontend in HTML, CSS, and JS passing by SQL databases, prototyping in Figma, branching your work in git and GitHub, and also deploying your app in Heroku.The technical aspect it's very good and will give you a strong foundation and confidence to dive into the world of Web Development.However, it's in the human dimension that Le Wagon shines brighter. All the staff and teachers are amazing, friendly, and go above and beyond to provide the necessary support to the students during the Bootcamp. Also, I was lucky to be in a batch of amazing, dedicated, and collaborative people that I am now proud of calling friends.

The course was incredibly well structured and I felt everything I learned was relevant, no time was wasted. You need to give the course your full attention as it is very fast-paced and intense but the pay-offs are huge—you also learn how and where to learn more and this sets you up really well for development roles in an industry that is ever-changing. The teachers are incredibly knowledgable and talented, there was never a question they couldn't answer and the staff are really helpful and supportive. I met lots of fantastic people and had the best time! I still have access to the whole curriculum, career resources and an extensive slack alumni community and I believe the experience was excellent value for money.

I can't speak highly enough of my experience on the Web Development course at Le Wagon Lisbon. The curriculum was broad, relevant and fast paced. I met a lot of amazing people both instructors and other students that have left a very positive impact on my life. The quality of the teaching was excellent and filled with highly experienced professionals that appeared to have answers to all my questions (I had a lot). The course was intense and fast paced, which suited me well. Be prepared and make sure you make space to give it your undivided attention for the full duration.Following graduation, I was very pleased to discover that Le Wagon has a high class reputation in the industry and it's certainly helped with applying to jobs. I am also now connected to their huge community of alumni on slack that regularly spits out freelancing opportunities and useful insights into the industry.Highly recommend it for anyone looking to be accelerated into the tech industry.

From start to finish of the bootcamp, the support from the team at Le Wagon is nothing short of amazing. They all have an incredible work ethic and are always 110% willing to help you with whatever you want. Their teachers were always very knowledgeable of the subject they were teaching and always incredibly patient and helpful with all of the students and go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. It is by far the best bootcamp you can find nowadays, and I am recommending it to anybody that wants to start coding. If there's one thing I have to say about them is that I think people should study and prepare a lot more than the provided prep work they give you in order to be better prepared to a REALLY intense 9 weeks. Nonetheless, their infrastructure and tools for helping you learn is amazing. The material is always incredibly up to date, and their alumni network after you finish the course makes this by far the best bootcamp you can choose. As the title says, if you want to start learning how to code, just look for the Le Wagon closest to you and drop by to talk to anybody from their team and I am sure that you will have an amazing experience.

Passionate about digital and start ups, I worked for several years as CMO, mostly for e-commerce pureplayers, and also cofounded a start up in edtech.For more than 12 years, I enjoyed working with developers but without knowing how to code... I chose to attend Le Wagon coding bootcamp to better understand the tech environment I work in. Being able to speak with Product and Developers teams is a key skill for a start up CMO. Going further in User Experience, Growth marketing and Data-analysis is also very valuable as marketing is more and more about tech and data.Le Wagon has been an incredible experience I would definitely recommend for everyone working or willing to work in a tech environment.

After working as an industrial designer for the last 5 years I decided I want to dive into the path of digital products. I signed up for Le Wagon because I knew it would be the best way to dive into the business and expand my skills by learning how to design and develop web apps. The boot camp exceeded my expectations by far, with tons of knowledge but also the best vibes with the Le Wagon team and my batch group.

Prior joining Le Wagon I worked in different companies as software engineer. At my last position I worked on GUI projects for desktop software in the domain of semi-conductors, programming on Linux PCs in C++ and using the Qt framework for the GUI.  When I decided to setup as freelance I wanted  to learn web development which was something new for me. The experience at Le Wagon Lyon was amazing. Courses are well structured to quick learn new concepts. Instructors are nice people always ready to help anybody. Projects weeks are intensive and challenging when working with people having different backgrounds. And even after the bootcamp, Le Wagon is there to help and advice.

Before joining the coding bootcamp at Le wegon Amsterdam last April 19, 2021, I was working in Child Care for 6 years, I wanted to change my career and wanted to be a Web Developer, that's when I found Le Wagon. I was in batch 626, I would say it is an intensive 9 weeks, it was hard for me for the first 3 weeks because I am a complete beginner but with the support of my TA's and my batchmates I became comfortable with coding. TA's at Le wagon are really great very profesional and friendly at the same time, they made me feel that I belong and that I will succeed. I trusted their system. Even though it's remote, i didn't feel alone and far, I learned to trust my self, my batchmates are the best as well, we always start our day talking to each other laughing and do silly things on camera, it feels like we've known each other for a long time. The schedules, the program, everything is just great, well planned and systematic. I learned a lot, from soft skills to technical skills. I am greatful that I joined Le Wagon and took the risk. I am so proud that I became a part of this Family. I definitely recommend Le Wagon to anyone who plans in changing their career.

I came to Le Wagon with no prior experience in programming, without any background in computer networking... and here I am, three weeks after graduation I have my first mission as a full-stack developer! Hole Le Wagon team was very helpful and understanding and they are really caring about your career success (many thanks to Simon (the career-week coach) who did a great job). An intense 9-week learn-to-code program will teach you to code, but also will help you to understand how to use code in your own way. You will be provided with all skills you need to break into tech. Overall, Le Wagon is a great community of teachers, students & alumni all over the world.

My background is from several years of Interior design/architecture and always loved tech and design.In the recent months during the pandemic, I learnt about the full stack program from Le Wagon while trying to learn about UX/UI online. Being in my mid career and the long distance online course, I was not 100% sure how the program would turn out to be.Now that I have finished, I am proud to say I have graduated and would definitely look for a tech related field. The online classes were always engaging and definitely challenging, I can't thank the supportive teachers enough which I felt was the best part of Le Wagon!  I am glad I took up this course.

After two years working as a wine merchant specialized in craft beer and a sanitary crisis during which I couldn’t practice my job, I decided to change career.I had not turned on my computer for a year, yet I wanted to learn to how to code. I had heard about Le Wagon several times and the bootcamp format; short but intense, particularly appealed to me, so when I learned that in addition to a fullstack training, we would have yoga classes, my choice was made.More seriously, I can only recommend the web dev bootcamp, and even Le Wagon in general, the pedagogy, the patience, the collaboration and the kindness are part of their philosophy. The program and the tools at our disposal are incredibly qualitative.Also, the recruitment work for the bootcamp gives rise, to my great surprise, to extremely heterogeneous and equal batches; the diversity of the profiles brings a richness and a true complementarity, driving the projects and the work in pairs. All in all, I think we would have done well to spend another month just for the atmosphere and the teaching team.

Hello, I’m Jose Prieto! I’m from Paraguay and some of my hobbies are video games, travel, CrossFit and now coding. Before the bootcamp I worked as a Bank Account Manager for almost 6 years. My main focus was meeting the needs of increasingly demanding clients and meeting monthly revenue targets, which helped me to work under a lot of pressure. As a video game lover, I have always been very curious about technology and programming and knew that sooner or later I was going to make the big leap. When I found out about Le Wagon I knew I had to do it. The experience was incredible and I not only learned a lot but also had a lot of fun during the process of learning how to code. After the 9 week program I’m overwhelmed by how much I have learned and I am eager to build on my newly acquired knowledge and keep learning. 

OK Internet was already part of my life. But not of my work. I used to work for a luxury company, selecting what would be in stores.Our clients used WeChat, Instagram or e-shops all the time but my job was centered around brick-and-mortar experience. I could not see myself cornered with retail forever so I decided to join Le Wagon to learn some code."You have to trust us, everybody will succeed eventually" was the first sentence I heard from the teachers. While everybody's pace was different, no one was left behind and after 9 weeks we all could code. It's amazing to see that I can now create a web app from a glorified TextEdit file.Le Wagon taught me web development but spiked my curiosity. I can explore concepts like Machine Learning or Big Data and I feel confident enough to do sales for an Artificial Intelligence start-up.
