I had a very positive experience during the bootcamp, the teachers were lovely and I felt very supported. I have just finished the bootcamp, so I haven't yet had any support in my job search, so this part is something that I can't assess yet :)- AnonymousGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp Online • OnlineFeb 16, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
lovely challenging journey
I loved how open everyone was, the environment created and the support definitely enhanced the learning experience
It was challenging, emotional, quite stressful and tiring but worth it

Great overall experience
Great overall experience. It's very intensive but the content is very complete. The teaching staff is also great and professional. I really appreciated to learn by working on challenges and projects while being able to call for TAs help and guidance. The community experience is also very enjoyable.

Really good!
I am amazed when I thought about my first day and the slide about the emotional rollercoaster. And now it is over. How many things I have learned in such short time, how everything was organized, platform really good, skills slowly building up by more difficult challenges,assistance and guidance from our teachers. I really enjoyed it

The coolest most practical school ever
Le Wagon is the shortest and effective way to become a Software Engineer. The program and materials are fire, I'm done with the course but am going through the curriculum for the second time.

The campus itself could use some improvement, but I think those were minor details. I wish we had more time and focus on preparing for job search and some actual open positions at partner-companies, because that's what I'm currently struggling with. Other than that, one of the best experiences I've ever had. - AnonymousGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • TokyoFeb 12, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
A Life-Changing Experience
I joined Le Wagon after having been interested in learning to code for a number of years but having no clue where to start. Over the course of 2 months, I went from being able to solve simple math problems in Ruby to designing an entire web application through the encouragement and help of some amazing teachers.

Over the course of 2 months, I went from being able to solve simple math problems in Ruby to designing an entire web application through the encouragement and help of some amazing teachers.
I truly feel that the teachers made my experience worthwhile. They were always encouraging and kind – even when the high-intensity of the boot camp occasionally got to us students. Being able to approach them with any questions, no matter how basic, was also incredibly heartening and I feel that they made the core of the experience worthwhile.
The Le Wagon community is also fantastic. I often went for dinner after class with my classmates, and Le Wagon organized yoga sessions every week to give our mind a break. Some of our TAs were recent alumni as well, so being able to speak with them about their experience post-graduation was wonderful.
After graduating, I found a job within 2 months, and have since been enjoying my new career! - AnonymousApplicant • Data Analytics Bootcamp • LondonJan 26, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Bias with unclear criteria for acceptance for government funded bootcamps
There is a lot of hype, but it is not worth it. I have been following Le Wagons for couple of years. It has mixed results. I had interaction with the tutors and staff.

I was give a technical assessment which I believe I have aced it when I asked for feedback. I was told there is a problem with motivation and commitment. I feel I passed on technical aspects, but the motivation and commitment is subjective. It is hard to judge without bias. It made me sad. In retrospect, I was not accepted from the interview regardless of my results of the technical assessment. The worst thing is when have a high expectations of a bootcamp and it fails in every aspect. In the end, I am very happy that I was not accepted to government funded place bootcamp. - AnonymousGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • Cape TownJan 11, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

While the technical skills gained were invaluable, it's the friendships formed and memories created with both peers and mentors that make Le Wagon exceptional.

Do Not Waste Your Time or Money!
I went to Le Wagon London last year and have not been able to find work since. So their 93% employment rate is not to be believed imo.
Where do you begin with this place and it’s unqualified teachers and TA’s (these are teaching assistants that are in fact people who just did the last bootcamp and can’t find a real job!) The actual teaching staff that I had did not have teaching qualifications and were very biased to the back end of coding, often dismissing the front end.

Where do you begin with this place and it’s unqualified teachers and TA’s (these are teaching assistants that are in fact people who just did the last bootcamp and can’t find a real job!) The actual teaching staff that I had did not have teaching qualifications and were very biased to the back end of coding, often dismissing the front end.
Your time here will largely be spent in twos doing challenges based on the morning lecture, this will largely be about Ruby on Rails! When you are there you constantly question things and are told it will all become clear in the last week or two, yet in reality this doesn’t happen but by then you’ve almost finished and you’ve spent both time and money, so kicking that can down the proverbial is easier for them!
Come the last two weeks, well one of these is your ‘build a website week’ and whilst this is moderately interesting, it’s not like you couldn’t have don’t this cheaper and faster elsewhere without all the other nonsense and awful learning environment. By awful, I mean if you’re unfortunate to be one of 4 groups on the ground floor, you will enjoy constant disruption from main doors, kitchens, toilets, staff rooms and people coming and going (as there is no reception area to speak of, people are buzzed in with ease and often left to their own devices!) All of this is not conducive of a positive learning experience.
Then comes career week - well this was a waste of time and energy. We actually thought it was a joke it was so bad. Many of us had already had careers and were experienced hires in other fields. The careers woman told us to delete our CV’s and start from scratch, effectively erasing all trace of any work experiences etc. When questioned about this, various staff agreed and it seemed like this was the normal thing to do. Still seemed very strange to me, but I went along with it, as did everyone else, almost like we were in a cult but didn’t know it!
Almost a year later and I am not in a tech job, in fact not in any job. The reason I did this bootcamp was to change careers but in reality the world is not that simple and by doing this bootcamp it is highly unlikely you will land a job in tech in 2024. The world has changed since the days LeWagon could punt ‘startups’ and make it sound sexy. Now the majority of people aren’t interested in startups and the ones that are, are not doing bootcamps!
My advice to anyone looking to change career is speak to people hiring for those jobs and hear what they’re really looking for, because it’s not, in most cases, Ruby on Rails, and your brief time at a bootcamp will simply not be enough. This is not how this is being sold, and that’s my issue with this. No, they don’t guarantee you a job, but they do use words very carefully with statistics they produce to make it seem extremely easy to get a role in tech, when for the last majority, it’s just not the case.
If you want my advice or opinion, save your time and money and do not come here! - AnonymousGraduate • Data Analytics Bootcamp • LondonJan 03, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
All I expected, A Solid Tech Upgrade
Having a business background and limited tech experience, I was pleasantly surprised by the Le Wagon Data Analytics Bootcamp. The course surpassed my expectations, offering practical skills for data collection, cleaning, analysis, and visualization.

The daily structure is intense but a great method, with morning lessons, day-long challenges, and recaps at the end of the day. It makes it easy to learn and digest information at various stages, ensuring everyone gains the necessary skills.
The standout feature is the friendly and well-prepared staff. Their support enhances the learning journey, making it both enjoyable and rewarding.
In summary, I will recommend it.
