Wild Code School

I was looking for new challeges for my professional life when I heard that Wild Code School was about to open a new campus in Lisbon and was going to offer scholarships to 5 women. I saw an opportunity there and I dived right in the applications tasks. I did the exercises, the online code classes, a motivational interview with Ana, the Lisbon campus manager, and a technical interview with Alexis. I went also to a meeting with Ana and other applicants to get to know better the school, the course and to see if it would be something good for my future and a good fit for my goals. I am excited to know the campus and to start this new adventure with the precious help of the staff at Wild Code School Lisbon.

I got to know Wild Code School in Madrid and it was an excellent experience! The selection process is 3 steps. (Online exercises, and two interviews: technical and motivational).
I was very excited, but also a little nervous, I thought I was not able to do something like that, but throughout the process you are guided and is very fast. After completing an online challange I was contacted by Maria (campus manager in Madrid) to invite me to the motivational interview.
Maria is very kind and professional, she explained in detail how the school works, the course, how  to became one of the Wilders :)
I did the technical interview with Alexis via Skype. He gave me feedback about my code in the project, we did a programming exercise together. I had a great time and learned a lot!
That's how I became a student at Wild Code School in Madrid!

I followed the 5-month data analyst training in remote. The training was a great and very challenging experience. The projects enable to practice what we learn and the staff is very involved in our progress. As the training is very intense, it provides the required skills to get into the labour market, such as Python and SQL. Also, the school provides a great employability coaching and support.

I would like to thank the whole Wild Code School community for what they are teaching us. It's not only about coding, but it's about soft skills and about problem solving as well. I am very impressed of how quick i grew only by following the campus manager and the instructor's advices, and I would totally recommend this school to anyone that wants to jump into coding. Last but not least, recruiters are contacting me and telling me that the stack i learn is really good, and i'm not even done with the bootcamp yet Read less

Je termine ma formation dans quelques jours. 
Le démarrage est intense, il faut s'investir dès le début pour acquérir les bases et les automatismes d'apprentissage. Sur la fin ça va mieux, ouf !
Nous travaillons en équipe sur des projets ce qui permet de mettre en pratique les apprentissages mais pas que, on acquiert des compétences indispensables en entreprise : le travail d'équipe, l'échange, la présentation régulière face à une audience.
Tout ça en 5 mois, alors on sert les dents mais  à la fin on est fière d'avoir fait le choix de cette formation.
De plus les perspectives d'emploi sont là !
Niveau ambiance c'est détendu, en chaussettes, beaucoup de bienveillance et une campus manager au top ! Read less

As many wilders, I have worked several years in another market prior choosing to become a dev.
Wild Code School has been a perfect fit for me in this context: Highly intensive, user-friendly content, team-spirit and, most important, agile methods as  a daily routing.
The Odyssey platform - source of learning content - is a true value -added : highly relevant content and available without any time limitation.

I have no problem finding an internship and I am now learning Angular after my school course in React. Read less

I've had a great experience so far with Wide Code School. The application process went smoothly - it was slightly challenging so that they can make sure you are ready for taking this step. It is also a great way to test yourself and your knowledge and see if you are really ready to change your career. The tech interview went great and I want to thank Alexis for being so patient and kind with me. Carolina was also super helpful throughout the process and she is super nice and passionate about what she does. She did a great job organising the course and picked a great location for the classes. Can't wait to start! Read less

I am so happy I got a spot in the upcoming course in Berlin. The school campus and curriculum make the impression that they are very professional, well organized and experienced. The campus is a very big former office and I felt very comfortable there. 

I was excited when I heard that we will even learn React, which is a great preparation for the job market. I am looking forward very much to work with real companies on their projects. I think this kind of experience will make it easy to form useful connections and find a job after the course.

Wild Code School Berlin is empowering, relevant and the team working here are incredibly helpful. After looking through different schools and approaches to entering the tech industry I was struck by Wild Code Schools curriculum and authentic approach to learning. Throughout the whole application process, they replied within hours answering all my questions and supported me through each of the different stages. Stage one was completing different modules and a website online through their online platform. I felt this was a clever way to show who they really are and gave me a great idea of what the course would be like. Then I had two interviews, one with the Berlin manager Tim where we talked about my passions, Wild Code Schools passions and the idea of the course came to light. I really like that our final project will be a real project with a Berlin company. Also every week someone from the industry will present a talk on campus and answer our questions. The technical interview I showed me how I could be taught and gave me great feedback as we went through the different questions. I learnt a lot in 30 minutes I can only imagine 5 months. Once seeing the campus I also learned they tailored the course to each city to students are relevant to each city's different needs so we are job ready on graduation. The school is also awarding scholarships to females as part of their Berlin launch. They are addressing a huge problem within their industry head on giving 5 of us ladies a leg up towards our dream careers and also diversity. Can't wait to join the Wild community in March, and start the journey.
