Le Wagon

9 weeks to learn code  !  Well you can think that it’s impossible ... it’s not easy actually , but not impossible  ! 

There is a steady pace, with a lot of knowledg to assimilate but every thing it’s make to help you ! Even if you’re a real novice .. like i was.
The Teachers are really good, patient and friendly ! The organisation is great and what can i say about  the staff ? They are awesome ! You can see that every body love his/her  job and they are happy  to make your day  nice !

So, my experience at Le Wagon it was great ! More than that !

I joined the Le Wagon 6 month part-time Bootcamp after having a keen interest and curiosity in technology but little exposure to technical skills...

Le Wagon comfortably changed that! You will learn, a lot!

The setup - a lecture and then pair programming working through some fairly tough (& what felt like almost impossible at times!) challenges was a great way to learn and build confidence/technical acumen around concepts. Each subject closes with an interactive "Live Code" where concepts are ironed out by Le Wagon's tutors. Throughout the course, Le Wagon gives you exposure to the fundamentals of Web and Software Development through the likes of Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, NodeJS, HTML, CSS, Heroku, Git, Github & AJAX....plus way more..!

Immediately, the curriculum immerses you in the fundamentals of programming, understanding data types and how to manipulate them. Ruby is the back-end language of choice for Le Wagon,  a good introduction to programming with very clean syntax and easy to read for those with little programming experience (and even a delight to those who have programmed in the past!). You will build a couple of small software applications using an MVC design pattern (and object-oriented programming) in pure Ruby which is a workout for the brain!

The course content moves on to relational databasing (SQL, sqlite3, Active Record), important for any developer to have learnings on. The front-end is next! You'll learn to hand-code the core fundamentals of Web Development using HTML & CSS. Popular techniques like Flexbox, CSS Grid, and Bootstrap are included too to keep your front-end sharp. JavaScript core fundamentals, DOM Manipulation, AJAX as well as plugins will give you an edge to your front end and keep the coding strong...that's not to mention that learning to prototype and wireframe an application is right after that...did I mention that you learn a lot?!

Bringing it all together - you'll launch into Rails, a popular framework that will take everything you've learned so far into account and add a lot of flexibility to any application you build. Once you've gained a little confidence, you'll join a small team and work in an agile manner to build a couple of applications utilizing everything that you've learned so far. The peak of the Bootcamp is demoing your final project at the end for everyone to see (including alumni, the general public, and your friends and family if you like!). 

Post Bootcamp there is a career week that focuses on finding work in the industry if that's your aim. You'll learn how to level up your cover letters, resumes and hear from alumni who now work in the industry as well as industry professionals about tackling coding challenges and interviews. There are "Get Me Hired" events where companies will discuss their culture and upcoming roles. Le Wagon doesn't promise a job after the Bootcamp but will set you up in a very strong position to start looking. There are a lot of tech jobs out there - and A LOT of companies looking for technical skills, especially the ones that Le Wagon teaches. 

Le Wagon has a huge emphasis on culture and community. The energy is incredibly positive & the Teachers/Teacher Assistants are always happy to help and answer questions (even outside of class time usually). If anyone is curious to upskill or career change, I couldn't recommend Le Wagon enough. Even those with technical backgrounds find a lot of value in the course. Personally, I've now had exposure to an entirely new world (with a creative industry background as a pro musician as well as retail & sales). 

Previous to joining Le Wagon I had done a lot of research on different Bootcamps... 
I am very happy to have chosen them and I look forward to continuing my journey in tech. 

I was looking for a career change and decided to enroll in the full time web development course at Le Wagon. It’s by far the best decision I have ever made! I dove in with barely any coding experience, but in just 9 weeks I was able to learn so much on both front and back-end programming. It’s definitely a fast-paced learning experience and was hard at times, but the teachers were all incredibly patient and everyone in my class pushed each other to challenge ourselves.The staffs fully prepare you to get your career started (making a CV, interview prep, zoom calls with companies, etc.) after the bootcamp. And in the end you will be forever connected to all the impressive alumni network, around the world.I highly recommend!

I arrived in the wagon as a Product Owner. I definitely find in the wagon program a way to improve my technical development skills. 
The lessons and the learning methodology are really well-built. Teacher are comprehensive and patient. After a few weeks, I was the first impressed by my progress. 
A PO will lead and communicate better with the development team. With the wagon, PO will understand developper work and their difficulties. The PO will become more efficiency. 
For me, I decided to go further and to find a job as a full-stack developer.

As a career changer moving from mechanical engineering to software engineering, Le Wagon Melbourne was the perfect choice. 

The curriculum is excellent. The ramp from simple command line programs to full stack web apps is so good that it's obvious the curriculum has been refined over many years. Le Wagon Melbourne is a very tight-knit team. The instructors foster a super friendly atmosphere. The career support post-graduation has been top notch - plenty of workshops, industry events and individual help. I can't emphasise enough that the most valuable thing about the bootcamp is the community. You form a very powerful network with your fellow students and the staff. This is really important when it comes to getting introductions, hearing about job openings etc. You will also make good friends!

I highly recommend!

I decided to follow Le Wagon bootcamp during my gap year at HEC Paris. I wanted to complete my business background in order to launch my entrepreneurial project or become a PO in a tech company after my studies. The choice of Le Wagon was natural because of its reputation, its dynamic alumni network and its part-time programme which fitted with my schedule. Conclusion: the quality of the pedagogy (availability of the teachers, benevolence, learning materials, etc.) and the smooth running of Le Wagon platform (access to exercises, calendar reminders, zoom links, etc.) have far exceeded my expectations. They have provided a comfort that I had never experienced in my previous e-learning experiences!

This bootcamp gave me the edge I needed to boost my career! 

Before that I knew a little python from a couple of online courses but nothing serious - I’m a mechanical engineer and had little to no experience programming. That was all about to change, since then I learnt python for real, statistics, data wrangling, machine learning all by doing challenging projects. The teachers were good, and I mean really there for us - ever little issue I had they were there. One thing that absolutely surprised me was although the bootcamp was entirely online, due to covid situation, the students were "handpicked" and a healthy camaraderie emerged between us, which was the cherry on the top! I have nothing but great memories from this experience - besides the intensiveness of all the work, but hey that's what it takes to learn something as challenging. 

After the bootcamp, I found a fantastic job on a startup as a data product manager, all thanks to the skills I acquired at LeWagon Lisbon. 

I decided to change careers in my mid 30's, and after lots of research, I settled on Le Wagon Tokyo. 

It was a great choice! The instructors were friendly, thorough, and experienced in the field. The structure of the lessons was easy to follow, so when I started the challenges, I had a good idea what I needed to do. The challenges were tough, but do-able. Whenever I had any issues, a teacher was always available to help me get through it.

After the bootcamp, I was able to use the knowledge I'd gained to land a developer job.

 I recently finished the le wagon bootcamp and I can clearly say it was life changing for me. Before that I worked in business and social fields and I needed a change, which came at a perfect timing. Super excited to get on with my tech career 

I have never learned so many useful Skills in my
Life in such small period of time. The TAs and the Buddy System were exceptionally good in allowing students to engage in problems on their own and search for a way to solve it together without the solution being revealed. 

On top of that we had wonderful and inclusive community that made this journey even better.
Totally recommended for anyone looking to extend their knowledge in coding or change careers and meet the most amazing and bright group of people along the way. 

 I started my journey at Le Wagon on the 5th of April 2021. Before that I used to work in the Fashion industry. I was Wholesale Administrator for a luxury brand for 4 years. I new I wanted to change my job but I didn’t know what to do yet. After month of thinking I heard about this 9 weeks training. I had never code before so I started training on Codecademy to see if I was into it and I immediately liked it. I decided to get in touch with former students at Le Wagon and other Bootcamp to gather their thoughts before jumping in. The feedbacks I had about Le Wagon were that the teacher and teaching methods were amazing and they had a great network, most of the people I had on the phone were actually hired by former students. Good teachers and a good network were the 2 quality I was looking for in a Bootcamp so I decided to join. I was not disappointed. The first thing they say when you arrive at Le Wagon is you need to trust the system which is kind of scary when you don’t know anything about coding. But it is so true. The teachers and assistant teachers are amazing. We spend everyday coding on exercices and projects that are perfectly thought. All the information we have to digest seems overwhelming at first but in the end the program is so well thought that your brain just remember everything. I never thought I’ll be able to code a web app in only 9 weeks and yet we all did it ! More than that Le Wagon is also an amazing human experience, that allow you to meet people from many different backgrounds. 

 I did the Le Wagon Data Science bootcamp in Amsterdam and it was an amazing experience. In only 9 weeks the Bootcamp taught me all the necessary tools to work on my own projects and opened my horizon for more ideas.
During the whole course the teachers and assistants were helpful and patient with us students, I never felt left alone with my problems.
The lectures go deep enough into the mathematical theory to keep it challenging even with a technical background.
In the end of the bootcamp we worked on a final project that I can now present with pride during my job interviews. 

Amazing how much Le Wagon takes you from the basics of programming to a complete application. I started from scratch and decided to make my career transition in 2019. After evaluating several bootcamps, I realized that Wagon's proposal and especially the results are differentials beyond the immersive methodology and decided to face this challenge in mid-2020 and in 2021 I started as a software developer. I completely recommend the experience of learning at the best Bootcamp in the world.

Before joining Le Wagon I had founded two software startups where I was the main product manager. Since I didn’t have the knowledge to code software by myself, I hired developers, and without a technical background it was sometimes hard to communicate with them. To be able to collaborate in depth with developers in my future projects, and because I was very interested in developing products that used artificial intelligence, I decided to join Le Wagon’s Data Science bootcamp. I had a very positive experience at Le Wagon, and I really liked that it was a very hands-on bootcamp where I learned a wide variety of topics in a short time; that I was given the tools to create and deploy a product that used AI algorithms; and that I got help from Teacher Assistants whenever I got stuck. Finally, I also enjoyed doing with my team our final project, which in our case was a software that used computer vision to detect rooftops and solar panels from satellite images in order to assess the solar potential of a geographic area. I am looking forward to continuing with this project. 

 I studied physics and wanted to work in research but I realized I lacked often demanded knowledge and experience in programming. That’s why I joined le wagon’s data science bootcamp which was not only a great way to get to know python as a programming language but also to learn how to use python to analyze and work with data. In just 7 weeks of well-structured lessons and exercises I came the long way from basic programming skills to being able to build a working application using a complex deep learning algorithm to analyze pictures and recognize objects in them!  I can wholeheartedly recommend joining the bootcamp because apart from it being a great learning opportunity you will also be able to meet a lot of great people in between both the students and the le wagon staff and you’ll get to be part of a very welcoming community where everyone is working towards a shared goal. 

I was pretty bored in my job and I needed to be challenged that’s why I joined Le Wagon. This 9-week experience was super intense, you have to learn a lot and not everything makes sense at first but you have “to trust the process” ;)  You will be helped by amazing TA and teachers, and the program is made for anyone who is motivated and is ready to discover coding. It’s a big first dive into the programming world and doing it with other people that become your friends make it even better !

I always had interest in coding and during the quarantine I decided to change my career path to this way. I looked in the internet about what kind of education was the most effective and I found the bootcamp model. I searched the number one rated bootcamp in the world, LeWagon, and after this 9 weeks I need to say that my experience was the best I could imagine. It was really accurately planed for the students to have the best experience and I noticed that every single day of the bootcamp. I encourage all of you to apply for this program, I promise you won’t regret!
