Data Science & AI bootcamp | On campus, full-time

I did the data science course given by Le Wagon Buenos Aires.I don't have coding experience nor data analysis experience. This was my first bootcamp. Doing 9 hours a day of study can be though if you don't have a good backup. Le Wagon provided excellent help and motivation. The course is very practice-oriented. The teachers are more likely to be experts rather than academics. The campus has multiple exercises, and ressourse to keep on track. The first 3 weeks where to set the basis of coding, data-viz and the toolkit. So be prepared to dive in DL and ML starting on the 16th day. This is important: be fresh because there begins the real action. The material is available for ever to review it, so you can see it over and over. The lecture are well prepared and the exercises can be challenging. The team (teachers and ta) are really helpful, the atmosphere is excellent for learning.I am still looking for a good job, I guess that that will be the last evaluation of the course.

The total experience was a success! The course is very well organized and I think it's very complete. Fully accompanied from the first moment, all the staff ready to help you. A course with a lot of good vibes! Highly recommended if you have the opportunity to do so.

   Attending this bootcamp was the best decision I could possibly make! I come from a business background: I graduated from a business school and got a first job in program management at a big tech company. This is where I discovered data science and decided I wanted to learn more. So I chose to attend the Data Science bootcamp at Le Wagon after looking at their program, the demo-days on Youtube, and talking with their Alumni, and I just landed a full-time Data Analyst job!   This bootcamp covers Data Collection-Cleaning-Analysis, Machine and Deep Learning. It gives you enough concepts and practice time to make you employable after the bootcamp, but what’s really smart is that they teach you how to go further, how to answer your own questions, how to read the documentation of Python libraries, etc.. In this way, you can go a lot further on your own after the bootcamp in your own time.There are three things I really value in this bootcamp:
The methodology: One third of the day is lecture time, and the two other thirds you’re paired up with a buddy and complete exercises to practice what you just learned. Thanks to this methodology, I felt ready to work right after the bootcamp !
A unlimited access to resources: you can access all lectures materials, exercises, flashcards, career playbooks after you leave the bootcamp. I still use their platform all the time and it’s been super useful.
The network and seamless support from teachers: there’s many teachers available to answer your questions during the bootcamp so you never leave a day of class with an unclear concept in mind. And there’s a SUPER-active community on Slack, which has now 10 K members from around the world, and will help you find a job, find a freelance mission, answer technical questions, attend masterclasses, connect with companies you love. There’s a superbe atmosphere, you get little surprise events to connect with your peers and teachers and they really do (even in covid times) everything they can to ensure you get the best experience possible.

100% recommend Le Wagon !

This was an amazing journey! With knowledge of web development, I wanted to specialize in Data Science. After trying to learn on my own I enrolled at Le Wagon. It was an amazing decision. The program is fast-paced but so exciting! The curriculum is built such as you are never lost. The staff is always there to help you when you get stuck! We've learned so much in such a short period of time.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.When you enter Le Wagon you enter an entire community you can rely on!

Excelente curso, muy buenos profesores y una metodología muy buena que permite aprender desde cero, muy recomendado a quienes quieran entrar en el mundo de los datos

Le Wagon provided me with everything I needed to become a Data Scientist. Lead teachers, teaching assistants and drivers were really kind, helpful and proficient when it came to providing guidance and solutions to the different challenges we had to face throughout the Data Science bootcamp. Plus, the Le Wagon community is also supportive and collaborative with every student or alumni. I would totally recommend this school.

My experience as a Le Wagon student went beyond my original expectations, both for how much I would enjoy it and how well it worked, even virtually. The teaching staff and companions were fantastic, all equally driven. I never felt that resources and help were outside of my grasp, plus it all culminated in an amazing final project to show off what I learned. I look back at it all now in awe, grateful that I took the chance to block out all other obligations to just focus and have fun with the experience. Now as an alumni I also have to praise the amount of help we are receiving in terms of career help and coaching, something that is light years ahead of the kind of help I received leaving university. I’m setting some high new goals for myself and I have the Le Wagon team to thank for feeling wholesomely prepared to take them on. I recommend you charge your goals as well and take this course! 

I was a journalist when I signed up for the Wagon, interested in modern data mining tools. The Data Science bootcamp is exciting from start to finish. The program is generous and ambitious and the active pedagogy (learning by doing), very effective. Days go fast while confronting and resolving difficulties by ourselves through exercises, with the support of the team. Working in pairs and in groups on the projects brings a positive energy.It’s hard, challenging, intensive, but you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve after 9 weeks.

I did not expect that I could learn so much about Python and Data Science within only two months.I am a linguist. Before the bootcamp, I was very interested in data analysis, but I had very limited knowledge on Python and machine learning algorithms. Now, I’m so glad that I can complete an NLP project, from data analysis to data engineering by combining my knowledge on linguistics and data science. It was truly an experience ‘from zero to hero’.Studying at Le Wagon was pure joy. All teachers and TAs were so nice and very helpful as well as my classmates. I really appreciate the buddy system which changes with each class session allows me to meet everyone, to work with people with diverse background.

I am an engineer with a background in wireless communication research, where the field of computer science wasn't traditionally used. After gaining exposure to the field of programming and basic data analysis across different engineering positions after graduation, I started enjoying working with data and thought to build my career in data science!I had a very basic idea about data science, but considering how it's the state of the art field with an immense knowledge pool, I couldn't understand where to start, or what path to follow to study with it, let alone applying the broad field in any area. To my rescue, was this fantastic course of Le Wagon - data science course. I decided to opt for this course, because of their well thought and researched curriculum, which is perfect for people who want to venture into data science, even if they do not have prior knowledge of experience of the field. This course let us not only gain the technical knowledge but also enables our minds to think analytically and logically, which is required of a data scientist. Moreover, the teachers are extremely talented, dedicated and friendly, making such difficult concepts really easier for us to understand! By the time we finished with the course, we realized that we now have a project we built using all the skills we learnt in those 9 weeks, an amazing skillset and a mind to use those skills further in different applications! Not only that, they provided us with extremely resourceful career advices, workshops and seminars related to whole job search process in the field of data science and even how to further venture deeper into this field! Overall, this learning experience is truly life changing, and I'd recommend this course to everyone out there who want to build their career in data science!

Before joining Le Wagon I was carrying out Master’s thesis research into the effects of stigma on implicit self-esteem. That was when I realised my future lies in data, so I enrolled in several short courses online to improve my abilities. Although it seemed like I learnt a lot from these courses there were many times that I felt lost and without anyone to turn to. There was clearly something missing. That’s why I decided to join the data science boot camp at Le Wagon. Before joining the boot camp, I tried to make the best use of my time by completing all the pre-work suggested to us. I would 100% recommend this to anyone starting out on their boot camp journey as it eased me into the subject and meant there were no surprises when I started. Once I joined the boot camp, I loved that I finally had an environment in which I could share confusions and victories or ask questions when I felt lost. It was amazing to work on the materials at my own pace and to know I could refer back to them when needed while getting feedback as I progressed. I also appreciated the wonderful experience of being able to work as a team to produce a final project that I think none of us would have been able to achieve alone. In the end, I was truly proud of this project which was an online web service for autistic uses to understand more about emotions in an intuitive way. Coming from a rather tech. light background, I was unsure about getting into data science. However, now that I made the move I cannot emphasise enough how pleased I am and how much I would recommend Le Wagon to anyone interested in pivoting into data science. 

I am a graduate of Le Wagon data science bootcamp in March 2021.After due consideration, the biggest reason why I decided to start this bootcamp is that I believed it was the most efficient way to get a job as a data analyst. Through this explosive amount of study in a short period of time, I wanted to accumulate knowledge necessary for practical work, and finally have the ability to change career.Studying every day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. for 9 weeks was tough but I could see how much I've learned after completing daily lectures and challenges. While carrying out the final project in teams in the last two weeks, I was quite surprised that we could actually build a product with our knowledge acquired in only 2 months. Also, learning how to cooperate in a team of coders working on a project was a good experience.Finally, all staff members, teachers and colleagues were amazing and helpful. They motivated me a lot.

I did both the web development and data science bootcamp at Le Wagon Paris.I wanted to change my professional career and find a path that will challenge and passionate me and also allow me to work as a freelancer.At first I didn’t know anything about coding and web development tools.The first bootcamp (web development ) came as a revelation for me.I loved everything about it and even when we had to switch on remote after 4 weeks, we didn’t loose anything about the quality of teaching. Teachers and TA’s were amazing and the format or the courses very stimulating. I did the data science bootcamp right after and I am still amazed of everything we achieved in only 9 weeks. In addiction to all the technical skills, we also learnt to work as a team on our final projects.Both bootcamps have exceeded my expectations, thanks Le Wagon for these experiences !

The Data Bootcamp of Le Wagon has been a very formative experience. I am amazed of how much I have learned in data science in only 2 months. I started with zero practical knowledge in  Machine Learning, and I ended up with a strong core of notions and technical skills, from which I will be able to build a career in the field.The formation was intense and  the staff was very engaged but, as they were pushing us,  they did all they could to maintain a friendly atmosphere and to keep us motivated in this strange period (COVID-19).

I am working as a Digital Transformation consulant specialized in Artificial Intelligence & Data at IBM France since September 2018. Before that, I studied at ESCP which is a French Business school, thus I had no technical skills before taking my job, so I was more focus on the Business side of AI when you implement it on a projet for example. I decided to do Le Wagon, because I felt that those technical skills could help me a lot in my job, and my future career.It did, because I feel more legitimate to work in AI & Data field now that I know what’s going on « under the hood », I can have deeper conversations with my clients about the technical side of the project, and my missions are more attractive.Also, I met amazing people, we had a lot of fun and I learnt new things everyday during 9 weeks !

After 10+ years as a Marketing professional in the gaming industry, I joined Le Wagon Data Science bootcamp to pivot my career towards a data-crunching role. The whole bootcamp experience was as intense and even more rewarding as I expected, seeing my final project unfold before my eyes made me realize the amount of progress and the breadth of knowledge that I accumulated over these super-fast-paced 9 weeks.I would definitely recommend this bootcamp to anyone willing to put the effort into learning Data Science, from Python and SQL to Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Cloud Computing.

I used to be an English teacher and an Economical Engineering student before Le wagon. When I decided to learn how to program I searched for bootcamps across Brazil. Le Wagon was the one that stood out because of its content and the chance to practice like a real programmer! I never felt so challenged and accomplished. It was the best choice I made. Now I started working for a StartUp in its early days and I am a Teacher/Teacher Assistant on a few days at Le Wagon. 

I attended the Web Development boot-camp before I attended the Data Science boot-camp and let me say that the Data Science boot-camp exceeded my expectations. Even though the boot-camp was remote, the staff and teachers were very attentive and had  a great attitude throughout. The material was very impressive and in depth. In fact, I joined the boot-camp mainly to demystify Deep Learning , and I was really happy with the depth we covered the topic.  I am now pursuing a Master's Degree in computer so that I can further my knowledge in Neural Networks. I recommend the boot-camp to anyone who wants to challenge themselves and learn what the buzz of Machine Learning is all about!

When starting the course, I wasn't really sure what to expect from the course as I was new to the Data Science world. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and clear logical progression of the curriculum. Le Wagons preparation to have subject matter experts that were currently working in their field professionally as the course moved forward to give industry advice and insights while teaching each module really helped to lock in the relevance and application of what we were learning. The whole Le Wagon team was keen, enthusiastic, driven and passionate about their subjects which in turn help to invigorate myself and I believe my fellow classmates. The really shone through more during the final project stages when they were just as interested and invested in making sure the projects worked to their full potential as much as the students working on the projects themselves. After the course Le Wagon provides comprehensive advice on preparing your resume, LinkedIn, GitHub and any other relevant professional portfolio sites/resources. Along side this their connections in the hiring market in Tokyo proved extremely useful allowing me to find a great data science job through their recommendations within 2 and a half weeks! Overall, I highly recommend Le Wagon, you can get a huge amount out of this course as long as you're willing to put the effort in to maximise the potential of this well constructed course.

Purpose I recently completed a data science bootcamp at Le Wagon in Tokyo. Prior to the bootcamp, I worked in technical fields where drawing insights from data was par for the course. I discovered Python and enjoyed learning how it can be useful in data manipulation and machine learning. Pursuing an intense course (9 weeks, 9a-6p weekdays) in data science seemed like a great way to focus on enhancing my analytics and modeling skills, rather than the hour or so a day I was spending before. I found Le Wagon online and decided to apply based on the great reviews they had. The application process was straightforward and the Tokyo team was responsive and proactive about setting up an interview.  
 Prerequisites The main goal of the interview is to determine your motivation for attending the program. They also check that applicants have a firm grasp of Math and coding concepts. You need to be able to articulate why you want to join the program and what you want to get out of it. For Math, a firm grasp of high-school level algebra and precalculus is recommended. For coding, having a basic understanding of how to code in Python is helpful. I would not recommend going in with zero knowledge in Python - while the course spends a day or 2 on Python syntax, it is likely not enough to get you where you need to be for the coursework. Le Wagon also provides pre-work to be completed before the course. They will not check up on you to see if you did it - this is a course for paying adults after all - but it will quickly become evident if you did not at least do some of it (there is way more than most people could likely finish).  
Program The course itself began with the fundamentals of data science - data sourcing, data analytics & visualization, algebra, calculus, and statistics. Understanding these foundations was critical to understanding the models we would later build when we covered machine learning and deep learning. Finally we went through how to deploy models and make data solutions available to others. Each day started with a 1.5 hour long lecture, after which we completed a series of challenges. We worked in pairs that changed daily to promote the collaborative way in which many developers and data scientists work. The day ended with a 1 hour group coding session in which we reviewed what we had learned that day. I really liked the fact that most of the day was spent working on problems rather than sitting in lectures. We finished up with a 2-week capstone group project to bring everything together.  
People The Le Wagon teaching and support staff was amazing! The teachers were knowledgeable but still able to break down the concepts for us. The support staff remained engaged with us during and after the bootcamp to make sure we remain on track to meet our goals. The other students in my cohort had varied work experience which made discussions richer. We also got to work in the same space as the web development students which allowed us to connect with them too. The staff did a great job of creating an atmosphere where we learned a lot but had fun at the same time. We also got the benefit of teachers and teaching assistants that were working in the data science field and they were able to share real world applications of the content.  
Post-program What happens after the program is dependent on the motivation you had for joining in the first place. If you are looking to enhance skills to move internally within your organization, it is a great investment of time and money. What you learn can quickly be applied in your current job to demonstrate that you are ready to move into data science positions. If you are looking to change companies, understand that it is not an automatic process and you will need to be patient. While Le Wagon does have connections with employers, it is not like a college career fair where employers are committed to hiring X number of graduates. Be prepared to do the work to put yourself out there. If you are looking to start your own company, the program is a great place to meet potential co-founders and come up with ideas. No matter your goals, one of the best things about the program is that you can stay connected to the global Le Wagon community if you chose to. You keep access to the Le Wagon Slack and to all the learning materials. The engagement on the Slack channel is phenomenal - members around the world help each other solve problems, generate ideas, and continue to learn on a daily basis.  
TL;DR Le Wagon Tokyo offers a data science bootcamp that could help you meet your career goals. It is a well-structured, engaging program where you will learn a lot and have fun connecting with new entrants and seasoned experts. There are part time and full time options to suit your schedule. You will get the most out of the program if you know your goals, your high-school level math, and some Python. You will gain a life-long connection to a global community of developers and data scientists.
