Good but has room for improvement
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. - AnonymousStudent • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • MunichDec 12, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Great learning experience
I have just finished my Data-Science bootcamp (Batch #1439). It was an amazing experience, great people, great staff and an unbelievable amount learned in just 9 weeks. I would recommend this bootcamp to anyone who wants to gain experience in the tech-sector. - AnonymousStudent • Data Analytics Bootcamp • LyonDec 11, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
A great experience
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 ! - AnonymousStudent • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonDec 11, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great people, great community!
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. - AnonymousGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonDec 11, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Really good place to learn
I have spent +2months learning to code, it was tough but really enjoyable. You learn even without prior knowledge, the path goes from 0 to creating two projects in a few weeks, you can see you grow and learn. I would say that the ratings are really fair. - AnonymousGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonDec 09, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Le Wagon London - DON’T DO IT
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.

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.
