Le Wagon

I was able to learn a lot, the content was good and well structured, good teachers. The material available is also very good.
They are not prepared for neurodivergent students causing anxiety and isolation in some people. 
The group/ couple set up may not be the ideal learning situation for some people and mentioning it during class does not help either. Read less

I really enjoyed the bootcamp where I met great people while learning a lot in just 9 weeks. Now that it's done I'm impressed of what we achieved in such short time !
The teachers were available whenever we needed help and this even after our lessons with them. They not only focused on the lessons but also on other tools or their life experience to give us advice for the after bootcamp.
Thanks Le Wagon for this bootcamp.
It was intense but worth it ! Read less

Although the course is very intensive and requires a lot of effort, you are followed every step of the way. You always have TAs and Teacher there to help you and they are some of the best people you will ever meet. If you want to be a Web Developer this is the course for you. If I had to express a negative point, I would add Python or another more common language to the curriculum. Read less

Le Wagon London - how to blow lots of money very quickly and be left with nothing!  

At the very start of my journey to the Le Wagon London bootcamp, I was quite sceptical and had a number of phone calls and emails back and fourth with them. They of course make it sound/appear like they are the ones ‘interviewing’ you for a place on their bootcamp, giving you some false sense that this is a place where you would be lucky to be accepted.
In reality from some of the people on my cohort couldn’t even speak English properly, you would have to wonder who is really being interviewed and why? To answer this, is quite simple, and having completed the Web Dev bootcamp, you start to see the Le Wagon business model and how clever it is, not from a student perspective unfortunately. 
Let’s start with the staff, in particularly the teaching staff. As of 2023 Le Wagon doesn’t seem to have any actual teachers as you may expect - and by this I mean someone with a PGCE PCET or similar, which enables them to teach in a post compulsory environment such as this. Instead these are people that seemed to have drifted into the jobs from vastly different backgrounds - manager of a cafe for example. I’m not here to have a go at individuals and question their qualifications, I think this would be something Le Wagon would fall down on, and this goes back to the model I was talking about earlier. 
When it comes to the bootcamp itself, each day presents a mix of a lecture and challenges (75% of the time), the challenges you work on with another leaner (buddy) and are ‘assisted’ by a number of TA’s (teaching assistants). Where have these TA’s come from I hear you ask? Are these not qualified teachers, trainee lecturer's etc? No, these are people just like you, who have simply done a bootcamp and now can’t get a real tech job, but to flower their CV, and importantly make the Le Wagon model work. The issues with this are vast. Mostly as you’re not actually being ‘taught’ by professionals and then you’re not being supported by ‘professionals’. 
Don’t get me wrong, some of the TA’s were lovely people and knew how to code, but in terms of the big picture… it’s starts to become clear that straight after this bootcamp that’s promising all these job prospects, the reality is, you will be lucky to be hired by them. By the time you’ve done a bootcamp and can’t find a job, the prospect of working here probably doesn’t sound so bad and so a percentage from every cohort seems to be hired, and so Le Wagon’s wheel keeps turning. 
The course content is outdated, tired and not particularly in demand by industry in 2023. Whilst the name of the course is Web Development, we spent less than 3 days doing any front end coding in 9 weeks, and even that coverage was poor/rushed and even talked down on by two course leaders who ‘preferred back end’ 
In terms of the way the course in delivered; it’s difficult to be positive about what felt like a work in progress that they changed daily to suit some annoying students that would would turn up late and disrupt everyone else. When this was brought up, eventually they locked the door and made them wait until lunch time to enter. This took months, but which point the damage had been done. 
All in all, imo this place is a waste of your money and your time, and will not get you a job in tech that you couldn’t have got through many different routes, all of which are cheaper and quicker.

I did the 6 months part time course with Le Wagon. The part time course is great if you are still working while study but be prepared for very full on days and no days off. I learned so much during my 6 months and would def recommend. The teachers are all very helpful and the material is very good.

Working on the projects at the end is the highlight and its amazing to see your work in action. You will get as much out of this as you put in. Participate in the live codes, watch all the lectures and do your flash cards. Read less

DataScience leWagon Bootcamp - Flex Time is the perfect for those of you that have an intense schedule and are ready to spend some hours at night or weekend.

The schedule is manageable when working and dealing with family at the same time, the curriculum is very complete, you will still have to do some extra mile to understand other concepts and they encourage you to.

The challenge are at the right level of difficulty, it helps you understand the lecture, practice and get a full understanding of the topic, even if sometime you'll be pulling your hear to debug the overall thing.

Don't be afraid on the Math/Stat - this will come slowly (except if you are already used to) - They make sure to share the right documentation with you.  Read less

Diving into the tech world, I wasn't quite sure where to begin until I stumbled upon Le Wagon's immersive Web Development bootcamp. Over a whirlwind few weeks, I discovered that this wasn't just another coding course. It was an intense, transformative experience that pushed me beyond simple coding tasks. The program equipped me with a toolbox of problem-solving strategies, ignited a newfound creativity within me, and cultivated an adaptability that I now realize is essential in this fast-paced tech realm.

I remember the hands-on guidance from seasoned industry experts who had walked the path before me. They didn't just teach me to code; they helped me bring my own ideas to life. I also found a second family among my peers. We were a diverse group, each of us passionate, and together, we fostered an entrepreneurial spirit, continuously learning and leaning on each other for support and collaboration.

Finishing the course, I felt a profound sense of accomplishment. I could now turn mere thoughts into tangible digital projects. Reflecting on my time at Le Wagon, I can confidently say it was more than an education—it was an experience that opened doors to limitless possibilities. If you're considering diving into the world of web development, Le Wagon offers an unparalleled journey you won't regret. Read less

I liked that the bootcamp doesn't consist purely of lectures with teachers simply reading out content for the sake of it; the teachers here genuinely do care for students and build a rapport with you throughout the course of the bootcamp. From the first week there are welcome dinners, invites to talks from alumni and chats over drinks where you're welcome to ask your teachers more about their background, how they got started on coding and any advice they might have for career switchers like us.

You can sense their vested interest in your progress especially during your final few weeks coding out your project that was beyond my expectation of how supportive bootcamp teachers would be. A hundred percent recommend! Read less

Le Wagon has made my learning journey fun and enjoyable. I started my journey with Le Wagon with zero coding knowledge, but I am now interested to pick up other languages to continue my tech journey and I am certain that the curriculum has equipped me with a strong foundation required to learn other languages. The thought-provoking challenges that I had to work on daily has helped to reinforce what I have learned from the lectures. The instructors at Le Wagon have also been amazing at guiding me and they really made sure that I understood the concepts.  Read less
