AI Software bootcamp | On campus, full-time

After working with tech-support for about 10 years, I decided to change my career and become a full stack developer.  I've had some previous development experience following some udemy courses, but that was a long time ago and is not a prerequisite since you required to finish a 60 hours prepwork before the course starts. During the 9 weeks the bootcamp lasted we had a variety of great teachers in all the different subjects from the basics to the full-stack apps we we're building at the end of the bootcamp.  (www.buddylingua.fun - final project)I'm really satisfied with choosing Le Wagon, but regret not doing it earlier since i've turned 40 and have 2 kids. But I still managed to pull through, and I'm confident I'll find work as a programmer in the future. (just finished)I can highly recommend Le Wagon to anyone! 

 I absolutely loved my experience at Le Wagon Montreal. This program is really to give you the tools to think like a developer and introduce you into the tech community. The curriculum had a huge focus on rest, which I found lacked in the other bootcamps I had applied to, which helped a lot in lowering the stress level and helping the students absorb the huge amount of information coming at us. I also really enjoyed the hybrid format as it was much easier to focus on a Zoom call than in a classroom where there are tons of distractions.
Overall, I could not recommend Le Wagon more! 

Le Wagon is not about learning code, is about learning how to learn code. The environment embraces all challenges that we face while learning to code. They encourage you, support you, make you feel strong, and help you to always go ahead. The methodology is great because makes people learn to code in two months, it's not magic but an amazing educational approach. They have excellent teachers, and I bet one of them will be like that remarkable teacher you had in school. Less than one month after Le Wagon I got my first job as a full stack developer and not because I am good at coding,  but because I face the challenge of coding always being resilient and never giving up like Le Wagon taught me. 

I attended Le Wagon Oslo in 2020. Before joining I had minimal experience, only a few paid & free courses online in Python. I have a bachelors in psychology, and was recently out of work. My last job was in tourism... The bootcamp itself was a 9 week deep dive into the world of coding, and it was worth every minute. I knew I wanted to switch to web development, but I didn't really know how or if it was even possible. I had considered taking a 2nd bachelors in computer science, and had floated the idea of a bootcamp for about 5 years before I finally decided to just go for it.Now, maybe this career path isn't for everyone, so obviously you have to take that into consideration. Highly recommend trying a few courses for yourself online (even free) to make sure it suits your way of thinking, and most importantly, that you enjoy working with it. As for Le Wagon Oslo specifically, it was everything I could ask for. Small batches of students means a lot of hands on time with the teachers. We had a teacher to every 5 students, so someone was always available to help. The buddy system works because even though you're paired, you're doing the programming yourself every day. It is intense. It is a lot of hard work. You will dream about coding. These are long days. And yeah, it's expensive too. But also, I made lifelong friends from the experience. There are many (corona times excluded..) social opportunities. You really feel like you're all in it together, in this big messy logical struggle. If you're into coding, you'll love it.I made a final project that I didn't know was even possible when I started. In just a team of two we built a functioning app to encourage and crowdsource plastic & glass recycling. With that app, built in just two weeks, I was able to pitch myself & the app to many different companies/employers. It was because of the Oslo boot camp, and specifically the app I built, that I'm now employed at a start up here in Oslo as a junior full stack developer. 

I recently graduated from the 9 weeks Full-Stack Web Development course at Le Wagon Montreal and have nothing but great things to say about my experience. They delivered on everything single thing they promised. The curriculum really provides all the foundations one needs to build products. It's not only about learning how to code, it's about transforming ideas into real, tangible products. Coming from a non-technical background, I was surprised by how much I learned in such a short period of time, and most importantly, the MVPs we shipped.  Learning to code is not easy, the journey is full of challenges but the teachers and staff members went above and beyond to make the experience fun and welcoming. 

I was extremely pleased to join Le Wagon Istanbul because it allowed me to save a lot of time and avoid the hassle of learning to code by myself. Furthermore, it was an optimal solution in my case because on top of gaining knowledge about web development I also wanted to travel and make new friends, and Istanbul bootcamp had it all. The 9-week program was just perfect for me. During the program what really struck me the most was the mindset that you have while you code, particularly how you solve problems digitally, which is completely different from anything that you've probably done in your life. The best thing is that Le Wagon teaches you how to get the right mindset for programming step by step, which is very helpful. Also, during “Projects Weeks”, where you are supposed to build a completely new startup, I really improved my team-working and project-management skills that I think will be beneficial for anyone who is planning to lead or be part of own/company projects and work in a team environment. On a separate note, Le Wagon Istanbul was extremely welcoming and it really made me feel part of the family. That’s something I really appreciated and related to because it’s also part of my culture. Again, for me it wasn’t just about coding, it was also about communication, meeting new people, and being in a diverse environment with people coming from different backgrounds. By the way, the very first breakfast that I had at Istanbul's campus was just amazing! That Turkish coffee and delight though!

The LeWagon course is more than just a coding bootcamp, It's one of the best things I've done and I would recommend it to anyone considering a career in tech! It was a friendly, fun, and supportive environment and during my time there I felt that the trainers and everyone involved in running the course wanted the students to do well. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience: the wonderful trainers; the team of students; the course content; the structure of the course (love the alternating project and theory weeks as it helps you solidify the concepts and build up a great portfolio); the small class size; and the great place you get to study. Overall I really enjoyed everything I learnt and made some friends; and even though I attended having barely written any code before and from a totally different career path it prepared me for my first developer job.

Intensive Bootcamp Incredible team and teachers,Help and push you all the way HIGHLY  recommend for a life changing experience 

Before Le Wagon, I was working with customer experience and digital marketing in a startup and started to create a deeper interest in technology. I was seeing in it the opportunity to challenge myself, develop my own projects and live a more meaningful life. After a lot of research and conversations with the tech team from the company, I found Le Wagon Rio and fell in love immediately. From the first time I saw the website, I knew I wanted to study there!At first, I thought I wasn't going to be able to do it until 2021, but they released a new opportunity of student loan that was exatcly what I needed. Thankfully, everything worked in my interview with Milene Cardoso, the bootcamp manager, and Pedro Meyer, co-founder of the bootcamp in Latin America, and I made my dream come true!The bootcamp experience was wonderful and I'm really happy about the choice I made! All Le Wagon Rio's staff is amazing and super kind - people I want to take with me for life. Meeting people from other countries, being introduced in a worldwide community and receiving support and motivation makes everything so worth it.Now I'm focusing on my career as a freelancer and looking for opportunities, knowing I have the necessary support to give my best on this new journey!

I can say for sure that was the best decision I've ever made so far! I've been working with Design for the past 7 years and I was not happy with the area anymore so I began to study coding by myself for about a year but getting nowhere. I was originally enrolled in the part-time Bootcamp but after a couple of days, and already in love with the methodology, I decided to drop it all (my current unsatisfying job and plans) and dive into the full-time batch! At Le Wagon they say that the Bootcamp is not a sprint, is a marathon! And that could not be more accurate, is a really intensive learning marathon. I was really scared at first with the idea of letting go of everything in the middle of such a confusing year, with the Covid epidemic crisis and all, but I dedicated myself to the program and it all paid off! Just about two weeks after concluding the Bootcamp I got my first job experience! The platform is amazing and complete with a lot of extra and useful content (I use it almost every day), the teacher's team and the whole staff are really passioned and always there for you.

I believe Le Wagon is the best place to change your life. I was a complete beginner before I joined Le Wagon and the biggest fear I had going into the bootcamp was that I wouldn’t be able to learn how to code. However, I learned so much in the first 2 weeks, that I grew confident and realized that I was capable of a lot more than I had expected. That feeling of conquering a fear, learning something new, it was the most rewarding experience.
I really enjoyed the curriculum and challenge-based learning. I’ve always felt that practice makes perfect and I realise now that this is also the best way to learn how to code. As someone who has always liked design, I found the front-end section of the curriculum to be the most enjoyable of the bootcamp and learning CSS and Javascript was great
I really enjoyed building a new startup in the last 2 weeks of the bootcamp. Our team realized what we were capable of and created a unique web app by working extremely well together. I still miss the bootcamp a lot. The daily routine and feeling that we were on a learning journey, discovering something new on a daily basis; that was amazing
The team spirit with my other buddies from the bootcamp was fantastic and I miss chatting with them and solving coding problems together. I look forward to keeping in touch and seeing how they develop as coders. Outside of coding, Le Wagon was the first time that I’ve been in such a diverse environment. 
Communicating with people from all over the world was a great experience for me, it really broadened my horizons. My time with Le Wagon was completely unique and after I graduated I was especially surprised by the size of Le Wagon’s global network of 9,000 alumni. Everyone is on Slack which means that you can contact them with the push of a button.
I check Le Wagon’s alumni channel at least twice a week and receive really useful notifications which are helping me to continue learning through the network.
Thanks to Le Wagon I’ve discovered a passion for software development, especially on the front-end. My goals now are much clearer and I’m looking for a good income at a great tech company which has a friendly and positive work-culture.

 The bootcamp I attended was 100% remote, since  it took place during the most sensible period of the pandemic (Sao Paulo, batch #446). Nevertheless, the staff worked really hard so we could experience all the tools and cool things of a regular classroom course. Online classes every morning, then sitting on a virtual table to code in pairs and solve complex challenges, until a live code in group at the end of the day. Teachers would constantly join us at the table to help with the challenges, and it was great to always have their help. The school often organized virtual lunches with former students, happy hours and even yoga classes! The last three weeks were dedicated to projects, and we proposed and created two awesome web applications, in groups. It was a great experience and I miss it already. 

After applying to the Le Wagon Web Development course in London, Rebecca was the first person I was speaking to. She is an amazing and very friendly person. Also, she will make sure that the course is the right choice for you and you’ll have a great learning experience during the course.
I had no coding experience before I started the Web Development course and I was afraid that I would never be able to learn how to code in just 9 weeks but as soon as I started the course I knew I had made the right choice joining Le Wagon Bootcamp.
The way of teaching and the curriculum is great. Every day you have the chance to be paired with a different person and the experience is amazing, always learning from each other and of course from the best teachers.
I feel that I did the best decision joining the Le Wagon Bootcamp and I will highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in IT.

My Le Wagon experience happened during the SARS-COVID-19 quarantine, when much of the world was in crisis and staying home, therefore, I was able to experience Le Wagon Mexico entirely from my small midwest USA hometown remotely and let me just say, I'm SO grateful! They did such a great job of helping us to feel like a team, pairing us with a buddy to work with each day, beginning the day with live lectures, and ending the day with a live code challenge to help us to learn to apply each days' skills. We ended the camp having built 3 fully functional web apps, from back to front and skills to help us accomplish all of our post-bootcamp goals. The teachers and assistants were amazing, even continuing to build relationships post-bootcamp, I felt so completely encouraged and supported.  I got a job as a Full Stack Developer just over a month after completing the course. You can't go wrong with Le Wagon, and I highly recommend Mexico City's campus! Tell them I sent you and say "Hi" for me!

Before you consider joining Le Wagon, you should ask yourself: “are you ready to change your life?”, because Le Wagon really was life-changing, and if you enjoy coding and are eager to learn, then it’s the perfect place to be. 
I really wanted to discover how to code quickly and efficiently, that’s when I discovered that Le Wagon was launching their first bootcamp in Istanbul!
I’m extremely happy that Le Wagon came here. It will really help young people like me in Turkey by giving us an opportunity to change our careers, in our homeland.
I learned some magical things with Le Wagon that were extremely helpful. Learning Ruby and Rails in the first half of the bootcamp was brilliant. 
During the last 3 weeks (Projects Weeks) we were putting everything we learned into practice by building a startup. We discussed new features we should add and we became a real software development team
The structure of the curriculum, and its emphasis on practical based learning through coding challenges, was an extremely effective way of learning how to code. I really enjoyed it and I wish they taught everything like this.
In my opinion, the teaching assistance you get is the biggest difference between learning by yourself and learning with Le Wagon. The teachers played a huge role. They were amazing characters and their knowledge and experience was incredible. They were also very helpful and friendly.
The environment was extremely motivating because we were surrounded by like-minded and ambitious people.  It was very cozy, time really flew by. You don’t even know what day it is, you just sleep, eat and code.  
The campus was great, it was really accessible and in the heart of Istanbul. It’s great design helped a lot and taking in the view of the Bosphorus was the perfect way to unwind if you were stuck on a challenge.
Thanks to Le Wagon, I was able to discover a passion for back-end coding. Now that I’ve graduated I will be applying to back-end Junior Software Developer positions knowing that I have the necessary skills and enthusiasm to get the job done
After the 9-week bootcamp, Le Wagon Istanbul offered a “Career Week” for free, which is a great opportunity to meet with lots of alumni from previous batches who have gotten jobs in the tech industry. 
The strength of Le Wagon’s community and network is amazing, and we loved hearing alumnis stories and journeys, and they provided in-depth insights into what it’s like to be a software developer. 

For me the experience was very good, leaving the comfort zone, I was able to learn things that I thought would be impossible, with the intensive, immersive method and learning how to search for information, it was a perfect combination to make learning interesting and effective

Best decision I ever made for my career. As oceanographer I always had to work with coding languages, but at the same time I didnt have the programmer mindset, hence I was always strugling to do my daily tasks. The bootcamp at Le Wagon really helped me, and I believe part of this is because of their metodology, and part because of the amazing staff they have in Rio, with really good teachers! I am so in love with coding now, and maybe a twist in my career is about to happen.

It was an amazing experience, with an incredible staff, Kitt platform is a game changing feature, the slack community is alive and always helpful, joining the bootcamp was the best decision i've ever made.

One of the best decisions i've made was taking the Le Wagon Bootcamp! I used to work with sales but decided to become a developer at 29 years of age, a very scary decision but the moment that I had my first class I knew i made the right decision. I joined the bootcamp because in two months I would be able to work with programming with programming as well as having a huge supporting network. After 9 intense weeks we learned Ruby on Rails, Javascripts, CSS, HTML and SQL and made an awesome project. Now, with the knowledge and experience i've aquired im opening a startup that will hopefully become a sucessfull company!

 From delivering parcels to delivering two finished web projects in just 9 weeks plus gaining ton of new skills and meeting the most amazing people. This is my story with  Le Wagon – London, the course that is changing my life. 
 First of all I have to say that Le Wagon has the most amazing teachers I have had in my life that actually made me want to go and study even more when I finished the course. I compare them with the ones I’ve had in school, university and college, which were nowhere near as good as the ones in Le Wagon. All of the staff are super kind and fun to talk to and they give you this great confidence, that one need to succeed in what he is doing. In just 9 weeks of intensive studying we’ve learned a  wide range of coding languages and skills, I’ve probably learned more than I have in my 30 years on this planet. My team’s final project www.allsmart.uk was done under just 10 days only with the knowledge we gained with the course thanks to this amazing team of people to which I will be forever grateful. Thank you Le Wagon for giving me a better purpose in life and the knowledge to achieve it!
