AI Software bootcamp | On campus, full-time

When I joined Le Wagon Montreal, I was already had experience in IT industry but what attracted me most was the content of the curriculum. It is all about trending skills in IT, from problem-solving, Agile mindset, best practices, design, clean coding, DevOps tools such as Git/GitHub, and TDD to deployment on the cloud, and also constant learning, communication, collaboration, and how to present effectively the final product to the audience.
At Le Wagon, all the teachers and TA are absolutely top-notch, and the personal and the students were exceptional. It was like a second family, and hope to keep in touch with this great network of people!
At the end of the course, my team and I built a robust and user-friendly web application from scratch. From user requirement analysis, design, implementation to deployment on Heroku, using Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, Git/GitHub, Trello, Agile mindset, Figma.
The nine weeks were really intensive and challenging but also exciting and a very rewarding experience, because it was not only about shipping the final product and learning all daily aspect of development life, but also all recommendations and support we got from the personal and teachers that makes us stand out of the crowd.
I would recommend Le Wagon to anyone who wishes to learn in-demand skills in IT and take their career to the next level. It is definitely a great experience.

Coming from a non-technical background, I can confirm that LW's mission statement to "teach coding to creative minds" is true. During my bootcamp, I learned core programming concepts, computational thinking, problem solving and learning how to self-learn. On the product side, I walked away with the ability to map out user personas, create user stories, MVPs, foundational design skills, and once again how to continue building on what I learned during those 10-11 weeks. It is as intensive as they tell you, so whatever preparation you have in mind, do twice as much. Luckily, you have a solid group of peers to support you on your journey and lifetime access to every subject you'll learn in case you want to revisit it. The teachers, TAs and Le Wagon community and alumni are what make this program worth it. You'll walk away with new skills, friends and a community you can always lean on.

Le Wagon was one of the greatest experiences in my life! I wanted to change my career-path after working in cinema for more than 14 years and attending Le wagon was just an evidence.The teachers are great and all the staff and TA was supporting and always presents to help us and learn us how to code. It was a really intensive bootcamp, specially since we were in full remote, but it was also a very rewarding experience. I am now confident to code and to start my new professionnal goal. All the staff did everything too to keep a good mood and strong bound with our batch buddies even if we were in full remote !I highly recommend Le wagon to anyone wishing to learn a solid foundation in code and living a great human experience.

Before joining Le Wagon Web dev bootcamp I used to work as a tech recruiter. I worked in different companies over the last 4 years, mainly in VFX and in IT consulting. But I always felt like I was missing technical skills for my daily job.
Before deciding to enroll in the bootcamp I had already done a few classes online, which I believe help me catch on concepts faster the first couple of weeks. But it was definitely not a requirement. The entire bootcamp is so well done that you learn new concepts every day but have all the tools and support to understand and use them. I was impressed with how structured the program was. Each day we had classes, challenges, live code, and flashcards, which gave us a strong foundation, to build on from.
The entire team at Le Wagon Montreal was really nice and supportive, and they created a great learning environment.
Coming out of the Le Wagon I think I have a good foundation to become a web developer and a great structure to keep learning and improve my skills.

Posso dizer que escolher fazer parte do Le wagon esse ano foi a melhor escolha que e poderia ter feito. Não é um curso facil, é cansativo, exige muito comprometimento do aluno, mas vale totalmente a pena, a metodologia, o suporte dos professores e staffs em geral é incrivel, as amizades e contatos que fazemos no decorrer do curso é um bonus maravilhos.

A big thank you to le Wagon for those unforgettable nine weeks! The teaching skills and teachers are simply "the best"! As an enthusiast of neuroscience and transmission of knowledge, I can only applaud for their talent.But the most important for the end ! They freed my creativity by "really" teaching me coding. Hats off to the whole team! 

When I was looking for a coding school, my friend told me not to bother with any others, just go with Le Wagon - he had gone through their program the year before. Now that I've graduated myself, I can see why! All of the instructors are absolutely top-notch; they guide you through the curriculum with the deft touch of helping you just enogh so that you can figure it out on your own. Over nine weeks we covered SO much, but while I always felt that I was about to be overwhelmed I never actually was. I'm currently hunting for a coding job now and their support through this process is invaluable too. I've recommended Le Wagon to all my friends, and I'm recommending it to you.

I did part of the batch 446 of le Wagon São Paulo and it was the best experience I've ever had doing an bootcamp, the method was great, and the teachers awesome, it really made me learn how to code in group and alone, and now I'm motivated to get my first job as a dev

Le Wagon was one of the greatest experiences in my life! I wanted to change my career path - formerly graduated in Law School, I was really unhappy with where my life was headed. I've started a Computer Science graduation, but had to stop this year due to the pandemic. It was almost by accident that I found out about Le Wagon. I had never thought of laerning how to be a programmer in such a short time and the bootcamp really surprised me. I have learned a lot in my first year in graduation, but everything was still really abstract: how would I build a software with all I was learning? Le Wagon taught how to fit all the pieces together. Sure thing: it was na intense experience! It was time-consuming and somedays it drained me of all my energy, but it also fed my hunger for knowledge. I waoke up everyday excited for the challenges it would bring me. Le Wagon build up skills so that you learn how to search for the solution you want and how to learn what you need. It’s amazing how they can teach you so much in 9 weeks. I totally recommend Le Wagon to anyone who wants to learn how to code. 

 I'm a psychologist and decided to change my carrier into coding. After some research I came into Le Wagon. I was a bit skeptic about the possibility of becoming a full stack developer in nine weeks. Now, after finishing my batch, I know it is real.  It was not easy, nor simple, but it was one of the best experiences I’ve had in my whole life. Those were some intense and rewarding weeks. At first, I felt like my brain was stretching to the limit to accommodate a complete new set of tools. As days passed, I started thinking as a real developer, mainly because Le Wagon’s methodology is immersive. I mean, since day one, you start a routine of research, problem solving and constant learning, daily aspects of a dev life. My favorite thing about Le Wagon is the community built around it, with great people, an awesome staff, lifelong support and worldwide network. If you’re looking for a way to learn to code, I totally recommend Le Wagon! 

I had a great time joining this bootcamp.  I was a bit worried because I'm closer to 40 than 30 and wasn't sure if I would fit in.  After getting over initial nerves I can honestly say age didn't matter.  The support the teachers and staff gave during the camp was amazing.  The learning atmosphere was both challenging and fun.  I think that if you have the time, energy and ability to learn this course will be great for you.

Before joining Le Wagon Oslo I used to work in tourism, hospitality, and translation, but I felt that the skills I gained at the university were not enough to compete in the job market. I heard about Le Wagon from a friend who managed to change her career and find a job as a software developer after finishing the bootcamp, so I decided to try myself in coding as well.Le Wagon offers 9 weeks full-time web development course (or 24 weeks part-time course) that covers among others Git and GitHub, Ruby, SQL, HTML & CSS, JavaScript and Ruby on Rails. You can learn both the front-end and the back-end, which allows you to create the whole web app from scratch, instead of focusing only on one aspect of it. Many of my fellow students were interested in coding for some time before the course (but many were completely new to it as well), but they didn't know how to use the skills they have gained from different online courses and tutorials. And this is a great thing about Le Wagon's program: it leads you from the process of building software from A to Z, helping to put together everything you learned during the course and upfront. Once you are done with the bootcamp you have a great base to either start at the junior position right away or continue with self-teaching without feeling lost and overwhelmed. Another important aspect of the Le Wagon program is the community. Bootcamp is not only a learning adventure but also a social experience that lasts even when the bootcamp is over.  Being part of a huge (5000+) community of wagoners means that there is always someone you can ask for help, share job offers and experiences, and simply make good friends. It is not an easy course, but if you are dedicated and hard-working it is worth it. 

Une belle experience pedagogique. Il faut s'accrocher et tout devient limpide et facile a la fin! Belle équipe pedagogique

After more than 20 years in online travel partnerships and biz-dev leadership roles, I decided to jump on the Wagon's first ever full-remote bootcamp as Paris confined mid-March 2020, as part of Paris Spring Batch #400. There would lots to say about the benefits brought by getting hands-on coding experience for a non-developer like me. De-constructing the IT-department or tech-team divide is just essential in times where every company should embrace tech and be agile in its implementation. What stroke me was the quality of teaching and all-round experience of the bootcamp. Learning a full development framework bottom-up, back-front end coding languages, working on a project as a team using Github and finally, wrapping it all up by taking a problem, building a product and pitching it in the final two week run. Many of the classes taught me skills and know-how I had seen from afar before. Le Wagon has allowed me to demystify web-development, understand some of the stress factors when dealing or selling to developers and how nimble startups can beat large and wealthy corporates on innovation. In addition to LeWagon methodology, tools and teachers, LeWagon alumni network, community and career services are a valuable source of future contacts and opportunities of all sorts.I highly recommend the course for those working with tech teams (eg Product/Project managers, entrepreneurs or tech sales), interested to get hands-on experience and a better understanding of the tech "black-box".

 After my engineering studies, I fell in love with product management and became fascinated by what digital products can bring to people. I pursued a training in Paris, the Lion Product Track, to discover and learn how a product is created and developed. But I also wanted to gain hands-on experience by building real products from scratch and I wanted to expand my technical skills to web development. This is why I pursued le Wagon bootcamp in Montréal. The course was extraordinary for me both professionally and for the human experience. I was very much looking forward to the last three weeks, when we worked in teams to build a marketplace and a web app, and I was not disappointed: be aware, it is very challenging, but so exciting and fulfilling at the same time! The staff was very welcoming and knowledgable. We were so lucky to know that whatever question we could have, no matter how complex it is, we would get an answer. This training really gave me the keys to learn more frameworks, libraries, and languages afterwards, and it gave me the confidence to start my professional life as a freelancer in front-end development.

My experience attending Le-Wagon Bali was nothing short of extraordinary! After trying to code on my own for several years and making little progress; I had decided to take my learning to the next level. Having done hours of research for the best program; Le-Wagon kept popping up nearly everywhere on the internet with raving 5 star reviews. I was really cautious to spend money on the program as I am a conservative spender, however my ROI(return on investment) has already payed me back only a few months out of the program. The 9 weeks were super jam-packed with so much to remember; however I still have access to all the content and more through the Le-Wagon learning platform. My only regret is that I didn’t take the course years ago! Im now building applications I have always wanted to do. A big thanks to Le-Wagon and the amazing instructors for the amazing lectures, atmosphere and 101 help to advance my learning to code. I would recommend anyone who desires to learn to code and change their life to lean into Le-Wagon as it was the best education and experience money could buy.

Learning a computer language is not like learning a language, it’s more like learning to drive, you learn about one model of vehicle and then you move on to another. In the Wagon, you learn to drive well. Ruby on Rails works on the principle of conventions rather than configuration, which forces you to learn best practices. Tests are designed as soon as you start developing. You learn how to work as a team on the same product using GitHub.I now know the satisfaction of being able to build a web application myself, from design to deployment.  Le Wagon is oriented towards entrepreneurs and project holders, which creates a pragmatic and positive atmosphere: “let’s build something together”. It’s intense, comprehensive and creative.

After obtaining my degree in psychology, I worked as a direct support professional at a day program for adults with developmental disabilities, and as a child care counselor in a group home for foster youth. After a few international holidays however, I had caught the travel bug and decided to teach English in South Korea. During my time in Korea, I realized that travel would always be an important aspect of my life. I started researching different ways to be a long-term traveler, and coding was the career option that caught my interest. I started trying to self-learn, but quickly realized I would benefit more from having instructors to help you through the more difficult concepts. So I started looking at different bootcamps when I stumbled upon LeWagon. After reading all of the amazing reviews, I had decided that after traveling a bit more, I would apply for LeWagon’s 9-week coding bootcamp. Once I completed my teaching contract in Korea, I decided to do a working holiday in Australia. I traveled a bit, started working in an outback pub, but unfortunately, COVID-19 hit, and everything came to a standstill. I had no idea how long the shutdown would be in place, so I figured I may as well take this time to do something productive, and decided to join LeWagon Bali remotely.  My experience with LeWagon has been nothing short of incredible. I was a bit nervous about the bootcamp being remote, but the LeWagon staff made the remote learning experience both smooth and enjoyable. In the mornings, we had lecture for about an hour and a half, and then we separated into virtual tables where we worked with a few other classmates on the challenges of the day. Teachers were always available to help out if we ever needed clarification or guidance, and they were always super helpful and patient throughout the learning process. In the evenings we had a “live-code” session, where the instructor had us students use what we learned to complete a final challenge of the day. In week 5, we had the opportunity to pitch an idea for a product that we would potentially build during our final project weeks. Although I was hesitant, after some encouragement from my classmates, I ended up pitching a product that tackles a very current and pressing issue in the United States that I feel quite strongly about. It ended up being selected as a final project, and my teammates and I excitedly got together and began brainstorming ideas on how to make the product as strong as possible.  In a short two weeks, I built with my team of 3 other amazing developers, “UpHold: Policing the Police.” We created a mapping and rating system for police encounters, in light of the recent events surrounding the murder of George Floyd, and the subsequent protests and exposure of police brutality in America. UpHold seeks to tackle this issue of police brutality, by holding those who are meant to protect us, accountable for their actions. The site is for people who have experienced police brutality themselves, have witnessed an act of police brutality, or anyone who wants to stay informed about police violence in their community. When users enter the site, they are immediately able to see which cities have new reports, and a few statistics on these cities. To help users stay informed on which areas of the US have higher or lower rates of police violence, users are able to view a heat map of the United States or their selected city. Users are also able to submit a report on an encounter they’ve had personally, or of an encounter that they’ve witnessed. These reports then get saved to that particular officer’s profile, and onto the heatmap. Users can then upvote a report they may find particularly important, in the hopes it gains more exposure, leading to the officer being held accountable for his or her actions.  LeWagon truly was an amazing experience. Not only did I learn how to build a functioning website in 9 short weeks, but I’ve made amazing connections with others that will last a lifetime. The instructors are incredibly kind, patient, understanding, and are passionate about what they do. They go above and beyond to help you learn and succeed after the bootcamp. I highly recommend LeWagon to anyone considering learning how to code.

During my time with Le Wagon’s Batch #380 in Milan, Italy, I learned many valuable practical skills that would not only support me on my way to beginning my career in Computer Science and Web Development , but to also help me flourish in the diverse and international environment that is IT. Working on rigorous, yet engaging, tasks throughout the week with peers of different backgrounds, cultures, and life experiences was invigorating and introduced me to different ways of thinking, eventually making me a more focused, efficient, and patient programmer. I am excited to continue to learn and work with Le Wagon, and eventually become a Tutor myself and to try out their new Data Science course!

Le Wagon is a very rewarding adventure. The training is intensive and combines theory and practice. The different projects teach us how to work in teams and make us approach many subjects (such as database, WebSocket, ...) But Le Wagon is also a community and many resources  tools that allow us to continue to progress even after the training is completed.
