Life-changing
I really enjoyed my time at Le Wagon Bali. To say it is life-changing is probably an understatement. I loved every bit of it. Let me first say that this review is uniquely my perspective. Each person may have different experiences, so this one is personally mine.
I was a little hesitant at first when I saw that they were teaching Ruby as the backend language; industry-wise it's not the most popular anymore. But then I watched a YouTube video of some alumni being interviewed, and ...I really enjoyed my time at Le Wagon Bali. To say it is life-changing is probably an understatement. I loved every bit of it. Let me first say that this review is uniquely my perspective. Each person may have different experiences, so this one is personally mine.
I was a little hesitant at first when I saw that they were teaching Ruby as the backend language; industry-wise it's not the most popular anymore. But then I watched a YouTube video of some alumni being interviewed, and he explained why Le Wagon uses Ruby. And what convinced me was that Ruby is a great language if you want to start your own startup, and that's what I wanted most. I'm happy to say that it really satisfied what I am looking for, and as I embark on my entrepreneurial journey I will be utilizing Ruby as my main backend language to start with.
I picked Bali because it was the closest to home. I'm an Indonesian from Jakarta and, initially, I considered Singapore and Tokyo as the destination. However, those countries at that time were still closed to tourists, and getting a student visa was not something the boot camp could help with. So Bali was the obvious choice as I also loved the island. But what came with it was more than I expected. I was in a batch of 13 students, mostly Europeans, and it was the best two months I'd had in a while. I made new friends from all over the world and I gained a valuable skill that will change my career trajectory. An alumnus from the previous batch mentioned that Bali is probably the most international campus out of the 45 cities, and I can fully endorse that. If you're looking to make new friends from around the world while also learning to code (and also enjoying Bali life), then this location is for you.
The lectures and curriculum were great overall. I come from a no-coding background and so this is completely new to me. Luckily, I managed to hold on to being in the middle of the class. It wasn't easy; every day felt long as you learn something new whilst still trying to absorb what you learned the day before. Thankfully, the teachers were amazing. They really know their materials and are quite experienced developers themselves. They knew how to debug and problem-solve when we students struggled. They were super friendly and caring about our progress. Overall, four big thumbs up to the teaching staff.
I couldn't believe that at the end of the program, I built two different fully-functioning apps. During the weeks building up to project week, I was not confident in being able to achieve that. But with the help of the teachers, my team and I were able to pull it through. I still have much to learn, but I am happy that I went through it. The whole experience really condensed what it's like to be a developer in the real workplace.
I think this program is for those who are seriously considering the developer or even entrepreneurial path. The program is tough, but at the beginning of the boot camp, the teachers say, "trust the process", and I think that it's true. Trust the process, don't doubt yourself, and you'll be able to complete the program. - ChristinaStudent • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BaliVerified by LinkedInSep 15, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great experience!
Definitely the best learning experience I had, the curriculum is so well structured, the learning environment, teachers, classmates were all so good and supporting of each other. The bootcamp is really intense but manageable, it pushes you to work hard everyday, but with the buddy system, and all the teachers support it was a fun learning experience. - Angelo DarrietGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • AmsterdamVerified by LinkedInSep 13, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Data Science Bootcamp
I applied to Le Wagon data science bootcamp in Amsterdam after feeling like I was stagnating in my current position and wanted a change of career in a field I had always been passionate about. This was one of the best decisions I ever took. The amount of learning that I was able to gain in only a few months was invaluable and is a testament to the quality and robustness of the Le Wagon school.

This was one of the best decisions I ever took. The amount of learning that I was able to gain in only a few months was invaluable and is a testament to the quality and robustness of the Le Wagon school. Working through challenges all day and coding non stop, always under supervision of a teacher assistant and peer work system, meant that progress in the classroom was uniform between all students despite the fact that some may had started with more or less coding foundations. This also added to the atmosphere in the classroom where all students were eager to learn and push themselves which made it a very motivating and encouraging setting. The staff at Le Wagon was friendly and always willing to help answering questions about the bootcamp, careers etc.. and they did not shy away from interacting with the students which gave really strong community vibes knowing that we are all in this together, which was a big selling point for me.
Overall, I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to go on a career change or get their foot in the data science door. It will leave you with all the skills required to strive in this field and a community of like minded individuals to collaborate with and go on this journey together.

The best learning experience I have ever had!
I graduated from the part-time program, and it was the best learning experience I have ever had!
It was intense to do the bootcamp while working, but I enjoyed every minute of it. Every step of the program is well thought out from start to finish. The teaching approach, which focuses on practice, gave me a great sense of achievement and the confidence to keep learning.

Here’s what I enjoyed the most about Le Wagon:- The curriculum. The way we learned coding and the order concepts were introduced is very well thought out. Everything came together nicely when we got to Ruby on Rails and project weeks. The Rails week was probably my favorite one. It all became concrete, and building a web app per session was the best way to practice what we had learned so far.
- The teaching team. I'm amazed at how Le Wagon brought so many passionate people together! The teachers and TAs have done an amazing job creating a friendly environment while challenging and pushing us to deliver our best.
- A welcoming, diverse environment. Le Wagon students come from diverse backgrounds, making the experience even more interesting. We had beers every Saturday after class which was really nice!
- I learned how to learn. During the program, I learned plenty of tools and some programming languages. But, more importantly, I learned how to search for solutions and read the documentation. Now, I feel autonomous and capable of continuing my journey into exploring web development :)
To sum up, don’t overthink it. Do it! - JeanSoftware developer • Graduate • Web Development Course - Full-time (Remote) • LimaVerified by LinkedInAug 17, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Review
It is a good bootcamp, but it is very expensive. I was lucky to find a good job as soon as I finished, but it was a bit difficult for other classmates. The topics were seen in a very intensive way, I managed to understand them easily because of my previous knowledge, without that knowledge it would have cost me more than normal. The good thing is that they have a good ticket system where you can solve any doubts you may have. Although not all the teachers are the best trained. - JonathanSalesforce Developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BrusselsVerified by GitHubAug 16, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Le Wagon was a life changing experience for me, when I found out the government can fund me for it fully and I could become software developer without having to participate in university courses. I had so much fun there, everything was properly managed and scheduled, so many cool events, fun buddy system to have each day a different classmate working with you. Also I got the chance to be a part of their teacher group and I still enjoy being in this community. - Dominic LizarragaGraduate • Web Development Course - Part-time (Remote) • Mexico CityVerified by GitHubAug 11, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great Start to Software Development
Le Wagon introduces you to this Software Development world at a high-speed pace, very digested and with a great level support (teachers and TA's).
I highly recommend everyone to do some freeCodeCamp or code academy tutorials in order to know if this is what you truly want and to really commit yourself that you'll put a lot of time, effort, energy to get ahead and build your own app or land your first Software developer job.

Intense, hands-on and energising
With more than 15 years of experience in different roles I wanted to deep dive into the fascinating world of data science and machine learning. I was looking for a hands-on experience so that in a relatively short time I could get up to speed (as opposed to a years-long academic path, or some unguided dwelling all over the internet to build your own incoherent curriculum).

I was looking for a hands-on experience so that in a relatively short time I could get up to speed (as opposed to a years-long academic path, or some unguided dwelling all over the internet to build your own incoherent curriculum).
The Le Wagon data science bootcamp was a perfect fit for me: seven weeks of to-the-point lectures and hands-on experience with daily challenges, supported by a great education platform and an enthusiastic teaching team; all of this culminating in an intense and very educational two weeks of building your own project with a small team of fellow students.
What really sets Le Wagon apart is that the bootcamp caters for all. Students with little to no mathematical and/or programming background will find perfect guidance through the top-notch learning platform supported by the teaching staff. And students with more experience can have their fun with additional materials and extra optional challenges to expand their knowledge even further.
Doing the Le Wagon bootcamp was a highly energising experience for me. And I came out well prepared to take up my next challenge within the data science department of a major international bank, where I went on to building bridges between data scientists and business counterparts and senior management. - KevserGraduate • Data Science Course - Full-time (Remote) • TokyoVerified by GitHubAug 10, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The only thing that bothered me was not being with them when everyone was together. Teachers, TAs, and Le Wagon staff are always very friendly and helpful. (They are also amazing enough to send gifts from Tokyo to Melbourne.)
I had a background but I learned a lot of new things and it totally worth it. The better thing is to reach all the lectures and challenges also after the Bootcamp.
What was more difficult for me than the lessons was creating an impressive CV and social media accounts. Thanks to their (Both Tokyo and Melbourne Team!) wisdom and guidance during Career Week, I got more than I expected and I was able to find a job after the Bootcamp.
I'm very proud to be a part of Le Wagon. - PIRO DylaneGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MarseilleVerified by LinkedInAug 05, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
