I had very little experience writing code prior to the bootcamp, but from day 1 we started learning and coding and building up our confidence each day. The bootcamp is intensive and is very well structured for people at different levels of experience and knowledge. Whether you're a beginner like me, or aren't completely new to tech, the programme is designed for anyone. The teachers are extremely knowledgable and supportive and the overall vibe and energy throughout the programme was amazing.
On top of the tech skills I gained, I was also introduced to an amazing community of people who have helped and guided me throughout my journey. Best experience!- DanielaGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MontrealJul 06, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
A new career path with Le Wagon
Learning to code in 9 weeks sounds amazing and I needed the courage to start this journey I am so grateful for! After moving to Montreal, I started working in the Gaming Industry and was very curious about coding. In 2020 I finally decided to start a new chapter in my life and joined Le Wagon Bootcamp. During those 9 weeks we learned Ruby, Javascript, Ruby on Rails… During Project weeks, that’s when all knowledge comes together and we create Web Apps we would never imagine!

During those 9 weeks we learned Ruby, Javascript, Ruby on Rails… During Project weeks, that’s when all knowledge comes together and we create Web Apps we would never imagine!
Something we needed during those 9 weeks was support from the teachers, and we had all the support we needed to complete every challenge and finish the day waiting for the next morning to learn something new. And the most important, Le Wagon leads you to be part of the Tech community, so you have much more support! I am glad to be part of the Tech Community now! - CamGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MelbourneJul 06, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I was looking for a career change and looked in to coding purely because I like riddles. I chose Le wagon as it was recommended by a friend who had recently completed the bootcamp.
I had no background in tech and now feel completely comfortable in building a web application from scratch, this is due to the intensive and rewarding structure of the course and the amazing staff. The teachers and teachers assistants are super knowledgeable and encouraging. The staff as whole were very inclusive and welcoming and I never felt as though I was being taught by teachers, but more like I was just in an office with friends and some friends just knew more than others.
Aside from the tech skills I was taught, I was introduced to this amazing community which has given me connections all across the globe. I feel I made lifelong friends with the other students from my cohort and the staff.
If you’re looking to explore the tech world as a new comer or looking to up-skill, in a practical, real world environment, working in collaborative teams, I highly recommend Le Wagon Melbourne. - Dan HowittGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonJul 01, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Excellent bootcamp. Le Wagon's slogan "change your life, learn to code" cannot be more accurate.

Le Wagon changed my life
Before the training, I was in consulting where I carried out several missions in the Web Marketing departments of large companies. (What interested me the most in these missions was the technical part) The technical aspects of these missions was the most exciting part to me. I found a real pleasure juggling between HTML, CSS, javascript and Excel/VBA to automate some tasks.

The experience was fantastic from the beginning and not only our group could develope amazing projects, we were also taught on how to plan, build and manage those products. With the Covid-19 issue, we had to move rapidly to online classes but we didn't lose quality - in fact, I think we got even closer. I recommend Le Wagon as a life-changing experience and an exceptional way to gain autonomy and self-confidence in building digital products and connecting to an international community of developers.

My intention when I joined this program was to merely be able to develop a web-app but I left, not only with the right conceptual tool-set to attack problem-solving critically and creatively, but with a great community on top of whose shoulders I can stand. The people behind this bootcamp have made sure to think about every possible detail that can benefit you in your learning process, and the quality of the experience clearly shows all of this. Plus, I didn't only learned a humongous amount of skills in a short period of time, I also had a lot of fun while doing it. Yoga classes in the afternoon were a great way of letting of some steam after some intense debugging, going out after a long day with my teachers and fellow students was always very entertaining. I think none of this was a mere coincidence. I think the Le Wagon model is constructed around this idea of creating the perfect context for the student to really take the most advantage of what is being taught to her. - JuliaGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • Mexico CityJun 29, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

First of all I'd like everyone to know that attending a boot camp doesn't make you job interview ready. You'll still need to study stuff like data structures and practice solving algorithms. You are looking at a couple of months of studying on your own. Le Wagon doesn't prepare you for that, but neither do most of the coding boot camps.

You'll still need to study stuff like data structures and practice solving algorithms. You are looking at a couple of months of studying on your own. Le Wagon doesn't prepare you for that, but neither do most of the coding boot camps. My general wish is that this was somehow mentioned somewhere before you join the boot camp or somewhere along the way. Or probably I should have done my own research better -- whatever it is.
Regarding Le Wagon boot camp those are the things I enjoyed:
1. People. Teachers were absolutely amazing. Very talented, dedicated when guiding us through the process, and patient.
The boot camp manager Andrea was absolutely amazing. She would always help with things smallest and biggest, and would always find time to hear you out with any questions and concerns.
My classmates were pretty great. It was easy to make friends as we seemed to share similar values and goals.
2. Social aspect. We had all sorts of activities and outings organized for us, such as visiting popular attractions, bar outings, even yoga!
3. Collaboration. They have buddy system where you work each day with a new person on exercises, which enforces you to vocalize your thought process and mimics real world pair programming. Towards the middle of the course we all worked in the groups of 3 or 4 on Airbnb clone and our final project. That mimicked real world standup meetings, code reviews, and tasks delegation.
4. Tech stack. Ruby on Rails, HTML, CSS, JavaScript combo was exactly the tech stack I was looking for.
5. Definitely can't beat the price which was around $5,000 but ended up less for me after the discount for women in tech. They do have early bird discount as well I think.
6. I loved working on the final project with my team. It's really thrilling to have an idea and work with like minded folks on bringing it to life. Sense of accomplishment and celebration during the final demo day was real.
Things I didn't enjoy or think could have been done better or differently:
1. Pace. It was extremely fast paced with no time to digest the concepts. I'm not entirely new to coding, yet by the week 5 I felt like I couldn't pack concepts into my head anymore. We had pretty much a day for each concept (listening to the lecture in the morning, pair programming the whole day, and then live code in the evening), and the following day we would be learning a new one. That's 10 hours of coding a day every day for 9 weeks with the new material each day. Some of my classmates at some point of the course got lost and were not able to catch up. By the week 7 I simply burned out and almost dropped out myself.
2. I didn't enjoy our attendance being monitored as if we were high school students. All the lectures were recorded and available for viewing on the portal. Better approach in my opinion would be letting folks have their own judgement which lectures they want to attend in person and which to watch on their own as long as people watch them and do the exercises. That would help people manage their energy and prevent folks from being exhausted towards the end of the course.
That's pretty much it. Turned out to be quite a long review, but I feel like it touched pretty important points for folks making decision which boot camp to join. Looking back it was overall a great experience. Throughout the course I felt supported by the Le Wagon team and met bunch of amazing people some of them I can call friends. - Chris WestermanGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonJun 29, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

After spending 10 years in the hospitality industry spanning multiple departments one thing became clear, the key to future success rests heavily in a thorough understanding of new technology. Le Wagon’s fast paced, 9 week curriculum is perfect for turning students of all backgrounds into junior full stack developers. The daily learning schedule is structured for students to get out of the program what they put in, with morning lectures introducing each topic followed by a series of daily challenges to nail home the concepts. After graduating from the Full Stack Development program I had all the confidence and know how needed to move forward with a career in web development. - LiGraduate Developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MelbourneJun 29, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Besides the technical skills, I would say I got some more valuables things from this journey - the ability to learn, the way of thinking & solving problems, the way people communicate & collaborate in tech industry. During the booctamp we were all encouraged to collaborate with our 'buddies' (pair programming partner), to ask for help, and to share our thoughts and ideas among the whole batch. These experiences helped me a lot when I did my interview for a graduate program.
I am happy I made the decision to attend Le Wagon, it does give me what I need to become a developer. So if you are really keen to start a career in tech, and have the willingness to keep learning, Le Wagon is definitely an amazing choice. - Anthony PasslerGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonJun 26, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I really enjoyed the fact that its a product-oriented approach where there is lots of hands on work as well as the buddy system which teaches you to work with different people and learn different ways of thinking because you get paired with a new person everyday. The teachers are always ready to help you when needed and there are no stupid questions!
