AI Software bootcamp | On campus, full-time

I finished batch #423 in London at the beginning of September and feel like a different person in a very positive way. Le Wagon took me from a very basic understanding of programming to being able to develop full stack web applications in only 9 weeks. What I liked about the program was the progression and learning everything in stages, and building on what we had learned on previously. This made the learning process smoother as all the building blocks are put together over the duration of the bootcamp and you grow far more confident and your coding abilities improve vastly.  What also attracted me to Le Wagon was that they have 39 campuses all over the world and that the international community of alumni (which is very engaging may I add) are all accessible through Slack.I feel this will benefit me greatly in the future as someone who wants to work overseas. If you are considering Le Wagon, go for it. The experience has changed my life and opened the doors to what I can truly achieve through programming.

An amazing course for me! I was a complete beginner and within 9 weeks I managed to become a junior web developer with the help of all the amazing teachers and assistants. I couldn't recommend it more willingly. You'll be out of your comfort zone, constantly challenged but trust that the process works. They really have structured it amazingly. Thank you!

One thing that I continually reminded myself of throughout the course, was “trust the process”. I perpetually felt out of my depth in the early stages, due to how intense it was and how much information I was trying to fit in my brain in such a short space of time. As time went on though, things got easier and started to make more sense. This was helped massively by the fact the Teaching Assistants were there every step of the way to guide and support us. At the beginning of the 9 weeks, I never anticipated being in the position I would be at the end of it and completing a final project that I was proud of with people that I genuinely enjoyed working with. To all the staff at Le Wagon and my fellow students, thank you. It was an absolute pleasure.

I was always passionate about technology and after graduating a law masters degree in IT law, I decided to join Le Wagon Bootcamp in London. I was not disappointed from the super helpful TAs to how the course was structured, I’m fully happy with my decision. During 9 intense weeks I managed to grasp the basic knowledge and skills to be able to work on projects by myself, after completing a fully-working website, Fitmapp, with a team of 2 other people.

Joining Le Wagon was definetely the best choice i could have ever taken in my life. I was already studying for a software degree when i decided to join Le Wagon and i got interested because i wanted to see the other face of programming since i was more focused on back end development and i would've liked to experience the whole web programming world. The way the teaching made me feel was as if even if i wouldn't have come from a programming oriented career i still could have learned all the stuff surrounding it thanks to the great teachers and the way they explained the concepts. And i think that the best part about the whole bootcamp is the fact that you leave already with a functional app from which you can start any project you decide to embark on.

Prior to the Le Wagon bootcamp, I was working in aviation for my entire career. I wanted to make a career change into tech and doing a bootcamp was a natural and easy choice for me to help me tap my toes into the industry. I found Le Wagon after a serious of research and have spoken to a friend who completed her bootcamp with Le Wagon Barcelona and was super happy about her experience. I like that Le Wagon compared to other bootcamps available, are more focused on building the foundations of create an end product. This really helps for people like myself who have zero tech knowledge and background and be able to see what I would be able to build during and after the bootcamp. Additionally, all of the staff at Le Wagon Montreal are extremely approachable, helpful and really care for the students to ensure that its a right fit for you. I would highly recommend Le Wagon if anyone is every considering doing a bootcamp. 

Hi, I have been asked to review my experience at Le Wagon Tokyo and it is with pleasure that I do so. I would like to share here why I decided to join this Bootcamp, what I gained from it and how I would like to use these new skills. A little self-introduction, I am french, 34 y.o living in Tokyo for 10 years leading one of the largest French company to grow in Asia. I had a comfortable situation, good salary, respect and consideration from my peers. However, I felt that my experience reached a limit, I got asked to get back to France to become a director and settle down there. I refused and wanted another challenge.I navigated in the world of tech, digital, and innovation for a long time, but haven't really taken time or effort to dedicate myself to learning what it means to be in the tech side of the force. I thought I knew. If you read this and you are not a developer, you think you know too... but trust me... you don't.Why?Joining Le Wagon, my aim wasn't to become a full-time developer but to be part of the crew and understand better the digital world. Speaking the same language and mostly being able to prototype my tech ideas. In short, LW is a well-structured program, complete and product-oriented which I enjoyed - particularly at the end of the program, where it becomes more real, visual, usable. But I won't lie, it wasn't easy, I struggled, a lot and for "once" I wasn't the best / smartest in the room. I took my pride, put it on the side, got more humble, hanged on, and most of all trusted the process. The program You have to prep BEFORE the Bootcamp. It's really important to decide at least 1 month prior. Don't worry, teachers are great and will take it step by step. But I would advise to start get familiar with some notions earlier to be aware of the vocabulary and concepts. You know - returning an array-  calling a method?....Le Wagon starts from the basics - reviewing all aspects of Ruby and how things works.  How it works and why. you'll team up with someone different every day to do the exercises to support you and learn teamwork. You'll learn back end - front end - and finally how frameworks works.RUBY - JS - SQL - HTML - CSS - REACT you'll learn a lot of different languages. No worries, you'll have to handle them because you'll have some projects/products to work on and to pitch to the world :)Teacher are Amazing, Dedicated and will give all they got to help you 1 - Will question you to make you understand by yourself how to realize what you have in mind 2- Help you out if too complicated  3 - Make you feel like an idiot when you actually are one and got the answer all by yourself from the beginning... -You just needed someone to make you realize that you were actually an idiot :) and that's ok!:)  $It is a money and time investment! So it means that you need to dedicate yourself to it for the whole Bootcamp. Don't take it lightly. If you wanna change your career or create something new, you got a whole organization and network which can make your ideas up and running for real. Use this time to try/craft your ideas.OverallYou will become a product-oriented Fullstack dev with a network of 8000+ alumni. I learned a lot thanks to Le Wagon. And I know that I am capable of releasing a Webapp as of today. I feel that I'll be able to use these skills either in the corp world and in my future start up projects. It's a door a whole new world, one that you'll be able to eat bit by byte.

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!

 There 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! 

I enrolled in the Le Wagon web development bootcamp from July until September 2020. I couldn't have been happier with what I learned, with the support I got, and how they prepared me for the future. The curriculum is focused on product which makes it very diverse and prepares well to tackle all aspects of full stack development. I found the teachers incredibly knowledgable and involved in making the student's journey as best as possible. It was at times challenging but also extremely rewarding. Once finished you actually have a couple of products to add to your portfolio. I would highly recommend Le Wagon to everyone who wants to learn coding and build products.  

A very rich experience and really intense : it's incredible how many things you can learn and assimilate in just 2 months. We know that we still have to work a lot to become a good developer but that's a great base on which we can rely on today. The staff is friendly and trying hard every time to make students become more confident on themselves. I'm very happy about Le Wagon bootcamp and do not regret a single second of having chosen this training.

Joining Le Wagon bootcamp was a life-changing experience for me. As a person with a background in finance from University and a full-time trader in the stock market, learning to code gave me many more tools to advance in my career. At Le Wagon I learned the skill set to build web applications for my personal projects. Also, I now have many more opportunities to join financial tech firms. The amount of resources that Le Wagon gave me to find new opportunities in the tech world is outstanding and I am very glad to be part of this amazing organization

I 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’s 9 week web development bootcamp was a door-opening experience and one that lived up to more than my expectations. It certainly was intense and tiring, but I enjoyed every moment and am astounded by the amount that I have learnt in such a short period of time. On top of coding every day, you meet so many like-minded students and teachers that make the experience ever more rewarding. At the end, you become part of a large community of Le Wagon alumni, with continuous support and opportunities, such that the experience never ends! I definitely would recommend Le Wagon to anyone thinking about moving into the world of tech.

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.

I 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.

 Before 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! 

I highly recommend le Wagon not only if you want to change your career, but if you also want to to advance in your existing career! Technology is becoming increasingly important in all sectors, and this was why I attended le Wagon: to stay relevant and to move forward. Those 9 weeks are intense and they challenge your intelligence and resilience, but the amount of information you learn is unbelievable! The program is so well built from day 1 and until you present your final project. The teachers are absolutely top-notch, world-class educators, and the environment is very friendly and supportive. I applied for a job that I thought was a very long shot while I was at le Wagon, and I got it! It was a huge step up in my career, and the main reason I was chosen over other candidates was my (fairly new) knowledge in technology. I started the new job a week after I finished at le Wagon. This IS the best bootcamp out there. Don’t think twice!

After 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.

Dans 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!
