AI Software bootcamp | On campus, full-time

I highly recommend this bootcamp to anyone!

I graduated as a Software Engineer in Belgium but before committing myself to a full-time job I wanted to have an experience abroad. So I joined batch #210 in Montréal and it was the best experience of my life!

Before the bootcamp, I wasn't sure if I was going to learn anything in the first couple of weeks, because those were all about the basics of programming. But boy was I wrong! My prior knowledge of coding gave me the opportunity to learn how to explain stuff that seems easy to me, to someone who never heard of it prior to the morning lecture of that day. And that definitely helped me to improve as a programmer. The bootcamp also provides optional challenges which are quite challenging, even for programmers with experience.

But as the weeks progressed, I realized that Le Wagon is about so much more than just coding. The bootcamp taught me a lot about teamwork, helping each other out, realizing what you don't know and how to let others help you with what you don't know. And most importantly it taught me how to transform an idea into a product you can proudly present in only 2 weeks with people you've only known for 1,5 month. That's the magic of Le Wagon!

Le Wagon has been an awesome experience. The teachers have been amazing and unbelievably supportive, I could slack them night or day and I know they would get back to me. As a future student, I’ve found Le Wagon to be a great step before University, the bootcamp has made me not only think more about what career I would like to do in the future but also think more about the business side of life. I now feel more like I’m learning with a purpose than just learning because I love the subject, which massively increases my motivation to learn about what I love. Post Le Wagon, I feel more prepared for life at University, the Le Wagon mentality is ‘work hard, play hard’ and that’s the philosophy I intend to take with me to University.

The experience was short but intense. I am impressed of all that we learned in only 9 weeks !!! The vibes was great, and it was fun to learn, even though there were times when I felt like my head was going to explode :). I would do it again without hesitation !

I attended le Wagon a year ago, and I'm so glad I did !

Le Wagon is a very intense learning experience, the first weeks especially are quite challenging. Yet, that's only because you are learning so much from it. 
The curriculum is very well designed, you're making immense progress throughout the 9 weeks. Because you're being paired with a different student every day, you're able to think through problems differently and to help each other grow. 
It's also a great social experience. You get to meet people from very different backgrounds with an entrepreneurial mindset.

What I liked about le Wagon, on top of everything, is that it's not just pure theory, there's also a real project at the end. It gives you great tools that you'll be able to use in your everyday job life. 
All the experience I've gained from le Wagon has been very useful to me in my product role. I definitely recommend le Wagon to anyone who has an interest in the tech scene and/or in a technical or semi-technical role.

Le Wagon is an extraordinary experience, 9 intensive weeks that pass at lightning speed. I am an alumni of the 200 batch 2018 in Paris.

After 6 years worked for Carrefour France, I always wanted to go further and understand what was happening behind the projects once in the hands of technology & developers. I was in charge of the ecommerce for the fresh products (bakery, fruits and vegetable, fish shop…).

For this reason and to facilitate my interactions with teams of developers, I decided to join Le Wagon.

A few months after the end of Le Wagon I joined xo7, a french startup, to be one of their product manager. In addition to that, I took the opportunity to create an online poster sales company just for fun.

I really recommend everyone to do this bootcamp: it's the best experience to train, progress, understand, launch your project, iterate, and calmly tackle any new project, not just technical. The quality and relevance of the training is a real plus, as is the alumni network and the global community of Le Wagon.

I wanted to stop working a 9-5 and start travelling as a digital nomad with my own project in the first place. I also wanted to improve my salary by switching to a development career and earn more.

Le wagon is a high quality program and there is a strong effort to make it as clear as possible and with a good order on the topics tough.

The experience was amazing and really eye opening to what I'm capable of learning in a short amount of time if I'm disciplined enough.

I don't see even one default, I enjoy everything from the lecture to the buddy system and the level of the TA (and Joy miso soup)

Good, very good staff, their principal quality I think was their dedication, their fun, and their willingness to help us. Most of them inspire me to develop my skills and become as good as them.

The thing I loved most were the teachers who were seriously interested in my learning. The ones who showed up hour+ before lecture and stay til 10pm+ to answer questions. These were most often the same teachers that would spend significant time outside of class, for instance going to meals or the beach or other activities, with the students. It was during these bonus times that I really felt like I learned the mentality of a successful programmer. Also during these times I forged the bond with teachers that allowed me to feel totally comfortable to ask deep questions over and over until I really understood the wide framework needed to build Rails projects from start to finish!

I've been researching the market, before joining LeWagon. A lot of shiny advertisement. Some were really too good to be true, while LeWagon, as I can see now, has been hugely underadvertised.

Guys have developed a whole workflow and set of products to help in the learning process, as well as to maintain highest level of education, whithin shortest possible time. The experience has been accumulated for years and avilable to every branch - travelling teachers (each expert with practice in their field), TAs both local and travelling, great online community (real one, alive and kicking).

It was worth every penny.

I joined batch #220 of Le Wagon in January 2019. I worked for already 10 years in digital marketing and ecommerce
as Digital Director in retail industry but also in services (transportation and tourism) and in a start up as General Manager.
I began to work when the first iphone was launched. All my jobs did not exist when I arrive in companies I worked for. I have always been confronted to some technical issues (mainly related to code) that I was not really aware of.
Le Wagon is a unique occasion to get a full understanding of a 360 digital strategy when you come from business.
It is also sometimes the occasion to discover new possibilities in your career.
It has truly brought me a new world of possibles.
I strongly recommend this experience to anybody interested in code/ digital business/ entrepreneurship.
9 weeks is too short!

At the end of Law School and after various experiences in law firms and legal departments, I felt very frustrated to only glimpse the possibilities offered by tech solutions, but being unable to neither develop them nor even understand exactly who to talk to or what was feasible.
I attended Le Wagon bootcamp hoping that it would give me the keys to understanding the world of development, useful in the future profession of lawyer in which I was projecting myself.
Not only was I absolutely not disappointed, but it brought me much more than that: by the quality of the speakers, the richness of the courses, the completeness of the course offered to us and the diversity of the people I met, it is actually my whole perspectives that changed.
After Le Wagon, I joined Seraphin.legal, a French company of the Legal Tech ecosystem: at the crossroads of law and code, we design and develop tech solutions for legal professionals.

I have always tried to find a discipline that combines the part of me that is highly creative and the other part that craves for structure. Coding and in particular web designing is exactly that. Being at a professional standstill where I was only partly satisfied by my work (event manager) and learning about Blockchain and it’s (dire) need to become more accessible, it became logical for me to start a bootcamp to learn to code. Le Wagon quickly became the obvious choice for 3 main reasons: it’s been ranked in the top-three coding bootcamps for several years; the massive international community they foster through events and Slack; and the fact that every single person I met having been through le Wagon adored it. 
Le Wagon met all my expectations. The 9-week bootcamp is a tornado. You get completely sucked in from the start. It’s a wonder to get to learn so much so fast, to get good coding reflexes, meet a lot of people and quickly learn to work together. 
Since le Wagon, I started working for a blockchain association and have really wanted to learn more. 

"I came to Le Wagon looking to change direction from a career in teaching. Whilst I loved my previous job I was searching for a means of increasing my potential to create change; in short I wanted the empowerment of having a hard skill that would allow me to build something scalable. I was not sure whether I wanted to continue to work in education after the course, but I was confident that Le Wagon would open my eyes to opportunities in tech, allowing me to make an informed decision on the direction to take with my new skills.
I was not disappointed. Throughout the course we were not only equipped with the technical skills needed to become a web developer (with lessons delivered in a logical, clear and structured way), but our learning was enriched by a busy program of talks, lectures and events which aimed to educate us about the inner workings of the world of tech and how to get ahead in it. This, above all, I found extremely helpful as a total newbie to the sphere. I feel it gave me a great  head start when searching for jobs and securing my first role after completing the course
"Another great thing about the course was the fun, social element. I feel that I have built a network of friends and fellow web developers who will be there to support my career for the long run. The benefits of Le Wagon don't end at the end of the course- the learning continues through the amazing online platform, with reams of helpful information, tutorials and cheat sheets and loads of helpful people ready to answer your questions on anything, be they technical or professional. I couldn't recommend Le Wagon enoug

I attended the first Le Wagon batch in Lausanne in 2019. Before Le Wagon, coding seemed impossible for me and I could not imagine that it would be that fun to learn. Le Wagon has a great teaching format where practice is the success key. You quickly see your progress and it keeps you motivated throughout the intensive 9-week bootcamp. The cherry on the top was to see how much I could achieve during my final project. With my coding buddy, we created an entire website where you shop recipes instead of ingredients. Being able to code this website from the database schema to the fancy Javascript effect was really rewarding and has impressed many of my friends!

After a few years in Investment Banking, I felt the need to have a more “hands-on” experience at work. That’s why I decided to join my small family business. Although I was not in a “tech” environment, I quickly felt very frustrated and helpless when interacting with the team in charge of our e-commerce website.

Le Wagon brought me the skills to very efficiently  drive our web and IT projects, being able to understand our developers’ workflows and taking part in decisions I wasn’t even aware of before. Taking part in this aspect of the business feels very empowering and intellectually stimulating.

In addition to an incredible academic experience, Le Wagon bootcamp brought me into the most vibrant community I know :
- The staff has created a very pleasant environment where alumni and entrepreneurs are happy to hang around and share their stories .
- People with very various backgrounds in my batch came together as long-lasting friend.
- People are eager to help their fellow alumni, from a tip to “debug” an application to a partnership to start a business venture.

After 3 years working in retail and marketing I wanted to start my own company but I had no coding skills... So I decided to join Le Wagon to have an overview of all what code is and to improve my tech skills. I wasn’t disappointed. After only 9 weeks of learning, 9 weeks of laughing, 9 weeks of drinking beers with startup partners, I’m now able to build an entire working website and I have a better idea of what I want to do!! I’m currently passing job interviews in tech startups and in the meanwhile I’m TA at Le Wagon Paris. Thanks a lot Le Wagon !

These nine weeks were an amazing experience.
It’s very impressive how much they manage to teach us in such a short time.
The whole team is passionate about what they do, which makes it really inspiring to work and exchange with them about coding or personal projects.
It was one of the best intellectual and personal experiences I’ve had , and I can’t recommand it enough to anyone who has an interest in coding.
They have made coding accessible and sexy  
Thanks you Le Wagon !!!! 

After working 1 year in a startup as a growth hacker, I realized that I lacked skills in web development to progress in my job. It was difficult to know how to start to learn these skills, so I decided to join Le Wagon, the best web development bootcamp.

During 9 weeks, I learned the basics of web development (Ruby, CSS, MySQL ...) with other beginners like me and... It was an amazing and intense experience !

Today, with this new skills, I am better at communicating and managing developers at work. Moreover, I am more independent and productive at work, for my personal project, ect

Before joining Le Wagon I worked most of my career as an Investment Banker in Mergers and Acquisitions and in Financial Advisory. After 10 years of work experience, I decided that I wanted a change to a Tech / Startup environment, and in both environments software is driving most of the innovation and is where most of the value added comes from.
I started researching coding bootcamps, and one of my best friends, the founder of a very successful Brazilian startup, Loggi, recommended me Le Wagon.
I could not have been more satisfied with Le Wagon, the program is very well designed, very quick paced and fully delivers on its promise of transforming ideas in products. The full stack development bit means we learn everything from web design, databases, APIs, and back-end development; and as such it gives all the necessary tools to be able to transform any idea, in a fully functional app 
I’m pretty sure that even if I don’t work directly with web development, my skills you be amazingly helpful on my future job prospects.
Lastly, I did Le Wagon in Bali which is an absolutely incredible place to do it, from the amazing staff, amazing friends that I made, to the unbelievable lifestyle that the island offers, I would definitely choose it over again!

Coming from a product and entrepreneurial background - I wanted to learn to code to up-skill myself technically so I could both work with engineers more effectively and validate new product ideas quickly. I am someone who needs to understand the core theory behind what I’m working on in order to fully grasp and expand upon it and that’s exactly what the Le Wagon curriculum and program format enabled.

The majority of your days throughout the course are spent on challenges which enables you to practice what you’ve been taught but also instills in you an engineering mindset which is based on a strategizing, executing and testing iteration loop. From my experience, the most important part of learning to code is getting comfortable with failing and the process of learning from that failure which is exactly what the Le Wagon format instills in you.

I would highly recommend the course for anyone who is both looking to transition careers but also open themselves up to a new way of approaching problems.
