AI Software bootcamp | On campus, full-time

The best investment I've ver mande in myself

Before starting LW, I worked teaching private math classes and needed to travel all over the city of Rio de Janeiro, to serve students from different locations. Then, in 2015, I came up with the idea of ​​making an app for online classes, but I didn't have the technical knowledge to do it. I met LW in 2019, through a friend who was always present at the workshops, so I started to follow the school on Instagram. I read a lot about the course and definitely understood that I needed LW to start a new career.Even though it was e-learning (because of COVID), I was able to count on an excellent service system offered by the school, which has Milene, an excellent bootcamp manager and a wonderful team of teachers.In addition, we have lifetime access to the platform, which guarantees us to be in direct contact with any news and also to Slack, which is another wonderful tool.Now I feel ready to enter a new job market. And I'm sure I can count on LW for any kind of situation related to the new phase in my career.

The best things about Le Wagon were the classes, the people, the culture, course structure, flashcards, job hunt support, weekly talks and events, lifetime access to their learning platform and all its useful functionalities. Best decision I ever made was to sign up for this course. 10/10

I was interested in programming for a long time before joining Le Wagon and I was constantly trying to learn in my own time to try and get a job in the field. In my 9 weeks at Le Wagon, I learned more than I had in the years since I started learning programming. There's no comparison in the level of motivation and the amount of support between learning alone and learning at a bootcamp.At Le Wagon, you learn something new every day and then use that new found knowledge to solve a series of programming challenges. This formula is incredible for getting you to feel like you're constantly progressing and getting you to learn the topic in and out, it was addictive. Throughout the day, you work with a partner which is a lot easier than working by yourself and having someone there going through the same problems is great. It gives you a sense of camaraderie and competition that really boosts your productivity.I had a great time at Le Wagon, I made friends and learned an incredible amount.

In my previous role as a tech recruiter, I’d hear stories of the projects developers were working on and the impacts they were able to have in their industries. One day I took a leap and chose to join Le Wagon so I could finally explore that freedom in my career.I started the batch just as covid hit, so we switched to remote learning. I was impressed by how seamless the learning process was - we were constantly supported by staff every minute and everything was easily accessible online. The course is incredibly product focused which allowed my team of 4 to flex our knowledge quickly, building our interactive app DI-WISE from scratch in 10 days. Once you lean into the the process of learning quickly, it was so satisfying to realise how second nature coding had become! What stayed with me overall is the Le Wagon community - we became so close on the course, and Le Wagon go out of their way after the course ends to make sure you are never alone in the path you choose to take. We are looking forward to our batch party once isolation is over!

I joined Le Wagon to learn new skills I could complement with my current career path. Even though I had some previous experience with programming, I was never really good at it. At the beginning of the  bootcamp I struggled a bit to understand some of the concepts but as we progressed everything just started to click. The practical approach and "product-first" mentality taken by the bootcamp allowed for things to sink in, which to me is amazing considering they go over a lot of concepts, all in 9 weeks.Whether you are looking to gain new skills for a job or wanting to bring your ideas to life, Le Wagon can teach you everything you need to get into tech.I would Highly recommend Le Wagon Mexico as a starting point to jump into a career in web dev. The branch in Mexico city has the most amazing and welcoming team to support you throughout your journey and even after the completion of the bootcamp.TLDR: Great curriculum, amazing people, unforgettable experience.           LW truly delivers on their slogan: Change your life, learn to code.Shoutout to Batch #347 and the LWMX team!! You guys rock  🤘

I have always felt that the weakest point in my professional life was the lack of technical skills, last year I decided to learn how to code in order to fill the gap. After a lot of research, I decided to enroll in Le Wagon´s Fullstack Developer Program and I´m so glad I did. Le Wagon not only helped me get the foundations on all the technologies involved in web development, but it also encouraged me to build my own products since the program is geared towards entrepreneurship. Besides the knowledge (which would be worth it on its own), I also got to meet incredible people from all walks of life who inspired me and continue to support me in my journey. Hands down, the best money I have ever spent on education!

I debated doing a bootcamp for a while because I thought that if I just tried hard enough, I would be able to learn to code by myself. After doing the Le Wagon web development bootcamp I see that even though it is possible to learn on your own, it is just smarter to have people help you on the way. The environment of a bootcamp is simply a lot better for learning, and the 9 week course represents probably more than a year of learning on my own. Le Wagon's value is incredible with a third of the cost of similar bootcamps. I had a great experience with my teachers and fellow students and it was definitely one of the best decisions I've made to do this bootcamp.

Le Wagon goes beyond and above. I have never had in all my school life such a seamless (and intense!) learning experience.  Before applying, I noticed they were number #1 in all rankings. Now I understand why. It is in my opinion due to 4 main factors: The pedagogyYou will alternate a 1h30 lecture in the morning, then put in practice what you’ve just learned with challenges, then back together for a livecode at 5pm. Teachers always highlight their thought process, so you understand exactly how they do every step. All the concepts are presented to you gradually, until you can put it all together and make sense of it all. I felt challenged every day, but at the same time not overwhelmed with too much information. The balance was perfect.  The online platformThe online platform really helped my learning. There you have a picture of the overall process, day by day, so you know exactly where you’re going. You can re-watch the morning lecture and access the slides and the class notes, presented in a super clear way (and I’m very picky!). You can also rehearse the core concepts with flashcards, the tool that’s helped me the most to retain information.  The team’s professionalism and care for their students.The team (teachers, TAs, admin) is outstanding, really has their students’ best interest at heart. They are so supportive because they know it is hard (they have all gone through the bootcamp themselves), they are always here to cheer you on and it doesn’t feel fake. Much appreciated because most of the time you feel lost and stupid ;) Don’t underestimate how helpful it will be to have a supportive staff.  The career week & alumni network I don’t know if other bootcamps do that, but Le Wagon has recently added a career week to the bootcamp, which is week 10, the last one. During that week, they help you with creating your resume & portfolio and they introduce you to developers and product owners so that you can get a feel of what it is like to work in those roles. I liked that holistic vision. They don’t just teach you the web development, they also equip you with tools for your career as a dev or product owner. Throughout the bootcamp, you also have the opportunity to meet alumni during lunch & learn. Every person we met was just so warm and welcoming and willing to share their experience, it was really inspiring. And last but not least, the alumni network is very active all over the world. You have access to a slack where you can contact any alumni anywhere in the world. They also share job offers. It really is a great community to be part of.  It is a challenging program, not for the faint of heart, but if you’re willing to work hard, Le Wagon will make your experience as easy as possible. 

After assessing what I enjoyed most across my marketing roles, I decided I wanted to learn to code because what I wanted most out of my career was to be problem-solving and continuously learning and challenging myself.I had very little experience writing code prior to the bootcamp, but from day 1 we started learning and coding and building up our confidence each day. The bootcamp is intensive and is very well structured for people at different levels of experience and knowledge. Whether you're a beginner like me, or aren't completely new to tech, the programme is designed for anyone. The teachers are extremely knowledgable and supportive and the overall vibe and energy throughout the programme was amazing.On top of the tech skills I gained, I was also introduced to an amazing community of people who have helped and guided me throughout my journey. Best experience!

Learning to code in 9 weeks sounds amazing and I needed the courage to start this journey I am so grateful for! After moving to Montreal, I started working in the Gaming Industry and was very curious about coding. In 2020 I finally decided to start a new chapter in my life and joined Le Wagon Bootcamp. During those 9 weeks we learned Ruby, Javascript, Ruby on Rails… During Project weeks, that’s when all knowledge comes together and we create Web Apps we would never imagine!Something we needed during those 9 weeks was support from the teachers, and we had all the support we needed to complete every challenge and finish the day waiting for the next morning to learn something new. And the most important, Le Wagon leads you to be part of the Tech community, so you have much more support! I am glad to be part of the Tech Community now!

DO IT!! I promise you’ll thank me later. Enrolling in to Le Wagon was the best decision I’ve ever made.I was looking for a career change and looked in to coding purely because I like riddles. I chose Le wagon as it was recommended by a friend who had recently completed the bootcamp. I had no background in tech and now feel completely comfortable in building a web application from scratch, this is due to the intensive and rewarding structure of the course and the amazing staff. The teachers and teachers assistants are super knowledgeable and encouraging. The staff as whole were very inclusive and welcoming and I never felt as though I was being taught by teachers, but more like I was just in an office with friends and some friends just knew more than others.Aside from the tech skills I was taught, I was introduced to this amazing community which has given me connections all across the globe. I feel I made lifelong friends with the other students from my cohort and the staff.If you’re looking to explore the tech world as a new comer or looking to up-skill, in a practical, real world environment, working in collaborative teams, I highly recommend Le Wagon Melbourne.

Gostei bastante dos exercícios, todos bem criativos e satisfatórios, e de trabalhar no meu projeto final. Foi uma experiência bem diferente de outros ensinos. Não só consegui permanecer firme nesses dois meses como aproveitei como pude.

Le Wagon is one of most famous bootcamp out there, is not cheap and after the course i know why,  is hard to find a course that really worth the money, that one does, the material is out standing everything  was thought to make sense, every class,  challenges, the teachers, everything is out standing. I was a skeptic,  I already had my share of code courses and never was afraid to spend full days studying , even then the time I most evolved in coding was through Le Wagon Bootcamp,  Teachers and community always there to assist you, an opportunity to work in heterogeneous group, bump your heads and solve problems, why learning end to end development, to the way you think the product until you delivers it, this was a awesome experience.

Excellent bootcamp. Le Wagon's slogan "change your life, learn to code" cannot be more accurate. Faultless and would recommend to anyone who wants to learn how to code... challenging, but very rewarding.

Before the training, I was in consulting where I carried out several missions in the Web Marketing departments of large companies. (What interested me the most in these missions was the technical part) The technical aspects of these missions was the most exciting part to me. I found a real pleasure juggling between HTML, CSS, javascript and Excel/VBA to automate some tasks. After attending the presentation at Le Wagon’s bootcamp, a reconversion in Tech seemed obvious to me!3 months after the training, I have just launched my website of object givings between individuals. All this, thanks to Le Wagon course and a little patience!

My experience at this bootcamp was more than I expected. My intention when I joined this program was to merely be able to develop a web-app but I left, not only with the right conceptual tool-set  to attack problem-solving critically and creatively, but with a great community on top of whose shoulders I can stand. The people behind this bootcamp have made sure to think about every possible detail that can benefit you in your learning process, and the quality of the experience clearly shows all of this. Plus, I didn't only learned a humongous amount of skills in a short period of time, I also had a lot of fun while doing it. Yoga classes in the afternoon were a great way of letting of some steam after some intense debugging, going out after a long day with my teachers and fellow students was always very entertaining. I think none of this was a mere coincidence. I think the Le Wagon model is constructed around this idea of creating the perfect context for the student to really take the most advantage of what is being taught to her. 

First of all I'd like everyone to know that attending a boot camp doesn't make you job interview ready. You'll still need to study stuff like data structures and practice solving algorithms. You are looking at a couple of months of studying on your own. Le Wagon doesn't prepare you for that, but neither do most of the coding boot camps. My general wish is that this was somehow mentioned somewhere before you join the boot camp or somewhere along the way. Or probably I should have done my own research better -- whatever it is. Regarding Le Wagon boot camp those are the things I enjoyed:1. People. Teachers were absolutely amazing. Very talented, dedicated when guiding us through the process, and patient. The boot camp manager Andrea was absolutely amazing. She would always help with things smallest and biggest, and would always find time to hear you out with any questions and concerns. My classmates were pretty great. It was easy to make friends as we seemed to share similar values and goals.2. Social aspect. We had all sorts of activities and outings organized for us, such as visiting popular attractions, bar outings, even yoga!3. Collaboration. They have buddy system where you work each day with a new person on exercises, which enforces you to vocalize your thought process and mimics real world pair programming. Towards the middle of the course we all worked in the groups of 3 or 4 on Airbnb clone and our final project. That mimicked real world standup meetings, code reviews, and tasks delegation. 4. Tech stack. Ruby on Rails, HTML, CSS, JavaScript combo was exactly the tech stack I was looking for.5. Definitely can't beat the price which was around $5,000 but ended up less for me after the discount for women in tech. They do have early bird discount as well I think.6. I loved working on the final project with my team. It's really thrilling to have an idea and work with like minded folks on bringing it to life. Sense of accomplishment and celebration during the final demo day was real.Things I didn't enjoy or think could have been done better or differently:1. Pace. It was extremely fast paced with no time to digest the concepts. I'm not entirely new to coding, yet by the week 5 I felt like I couldn't pack concepts into my head anymore. We had pretty much a day for each concept (listening to the lecture in the morning, pair programming the whole day, and then live code in the evening), and the following day we would be learning a new one. That's 10 hours of coding a day every day for 9 weeks with the new material each day. Some of my classmates at some point of the course got lost and were not able to catch up. By the week 7 I simply burned out and almost dropped out myself.2. I didn't enjoy our attendance being monitored as if we were high school students. All the lectures were recorded and available for viewing on the portal. Better approach in my opinion would be letting folks have their own judgement which lectures they want to attend in person and which to watch on their own as long as people watch them and do the exercises. That would help people manage their energy and prevent folks from being exhausted towards the end of the course.That's pretty much it. Turned out to be quite a long review, but I feel like it touched pretty important points for folks making decision which boot camp to join. Looking back it was overall a great experience. Throughout the course I felt supported by the Le Wagon team and met bunch of amazing people some of them I can call friends.

I attended Le Wagon London (batch 388) in April of 2020 to gain insight into the world of back end programming and help me gain the technical skills needed to alter my career path. After spending 10 years in the hospitality industry spanning multiple departments one thing became clear, the key to future success rests heavily in a thorough understanding of new technology.  Le Wagon’s fast paced, 9 week curriculum is perfect for turning students of all backgrounds into junior full stack developers. The daily learning schedule is structured for students to get out of the program what they put in, with morning lectures introducing each topic followed by a series of daily challenges to nail home the concepts. After graduating from the Full Stack Development program I had all the confidence and know how needed to move forward with a career in web development.

From the 9-week long coding bootcamp I got technical skills including Ruby, Rails, HTML/CSS, JavaSctipt, product design and deployment(Heroku), which make it possible for me to build a fully-functioned web application from scratch.Besides the technical skills, I would say I got some more valuables things from this journey - the ability to learn, the way of thinking & solving problems, the way people communicate & collaborate in tech industry. During the booctamp we were all encouraged to collaborate with our 'buddies' (pair programming partner), to ask for help, and to share our thoughts and ideas among the whole batch. These experiences helped me a lot when I did my interview for a graduate program.I am happy I made the decision to attend Le Wagon, it does give me what I need to become a developer. So if you are really keen to start a career in tech, and have the willingness to keep learning, Le Wagon is definitely an amazing choice.
