Respect your 8500Fr and don't join Le Wagon Zurich
I’ve just finished LW Zurich on June 10, 2022 (batch888). The materials are old(some are from 2014 and we are still taught to push to master branch), some teachers didn't care if students could catch up or not. This resulted in 1 student dropped out and 1 group project being cancelled. When we signed up for our batch, they didn’t ask us to do any exams, or make sure we could handle the intense schedule.

The materials are old(some are from 2014 and we are still taught to push to master branch), some teachers didn't care if students could catch up or not. This resulted in 1 student dropped out and 1 group project being cancelled. When we signed up for our batch, they didn’t ask us to do any exams, or make sure we could handle the intense schedule. This is highly unprofessional and I felt truly bad about those students and their money.
Also, the classroom was very small. As the staff said, they thought there were only 8 students, so they rented a room for 8 students, but somehow they decided to take 3 more students! If they cared about the students(clients) they wouldn't have accepted 3 more students. On our first day, we only had 8 tables and 8 chairs. 3 people had to compromise and sit on folded chairs. Of course, they rented another small room so we could split and do challenges. But, we still had to do lectures and live code in the 8 people's room. Only a few days later, after some students gave their feedback, we finally got 2 more tables and chairs! But 1 person always had to sit on a folded chair. I would say luckily 1 person dropped out, so it was not super crowded, just very crowded. A good and comfortable classroom is important for a bootcamp as we have to be there from 8:30 to 17:30. However, it’s not as important as making the maximum money possible for this so-called “Coding School”.
Another problem is that we were usually informed at the last minute, even after we asked them to inform us beforehand. For example, we were told about the career week on week 8. Some people already had plans, so they could not join it. If we had known about it earlier, we would have made some plans! Also, we were informed about the career week's schedule 1-2 hours before our first zoom lesson. This really disrespected our time.Alicia Cesa Bianchi of Le Wagon

Dear Ni,
We are very sorry at Le Wagon Zurich that your experience during the bootcamp did not meet your expectations. As we have discussed several times, this was the first in-person bootcamp we offered in Zurich and of course there were many unknowns. Nevertheless, all other students were still satisfied with their learning experience and provided an NPS score of 7 or higher.
I would like to respond to a few of the point you have made:- As you correctly mentioned we did book 2 rooms to ensure that students would have more space throughout the day to work and learn comfortably. Both rooms were equipped with tables and office chairs also to ensure the comfort of the students. Students could also work from the co-working space.
- There are foundational concepts in software engineering and web development that do not really change over time. Hence, when teaching concepts using material from 2014 or earlier is not a problem. I can reassure you that at Le Wagon we have an engineering team that revamps about 10% of the material every 3 months to keep up with changes in technologies.
- All our teachers are extremely dedicated and care about the progress of all students. We are sorry you felt this way and try our best in order to give the best education possible to all students.
- All important information was shared during the presentation of Day 1. But you are right that there was some miscommunication for the career week, which is optional, and we will ensure to do a better job for the future batches!
We take your feedback seriously and hope we will only continue to improve and make sure that all our students at Le Wagon Zurich have the best learning experience possible.
We wish you all the best with your internship at SIX and that despite the difficulties, we hope you have learned the skills you needed to kickstart your career in tech!
We also certainly hope you will continue to come to all the events offered by Le Wagon Zurich and be part of the 15,000 alumni of Le Wagon worldwide! - As you correctly mentioned we did book 2 rooms to ensure that students would have more space throughout the day to work and learn comfortably.

Every day at Le Wagon you'll learn something new. This is challenging, but also exciting and it makes every single day count. What you learn in one day connects perfectly with what you learned the day before, allowing your knowledge and skills to improve very quickly. When you're a student at Le Wagon, all of this comes naturally; looking back, you will realize how well-structured it all had to be in order to make you feel that way.
The environment at Le Wagon is focused on help and cooperation. Everyone helps everyone else as much as they can. This creates a great cooperative atmosphere among students, who all help each other. The TAs and teachers are absolutely amazing and happy to help you at any moment. Looking back, I am truly thankful for all they did, as it would have been impossible without their dedication.

They make you feel at home and do an amazing job preparing you for the job market, which is particularly visible during the career week.
Le Wagon's bootcamp was a very intense and deeply rewarding experience.

Data Science - Bali
I just graduated from Le Wagon's full time data science bootcamp in Bali, Indonesia. It was a very tough but rewarding experience. 9am-6pm classes Monday to Friday, plus flashcards to do at home for review. There's so much to learn in a condensed amount of time, which can be overwhelming. But trust the process and you will be amazed what you can put together with your classmates during the 2 week project week at the end of the course. - George LeeGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • SingaporeVerified by GitHubJun 24, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Attending Le wagon was one of the best decisions that I’ve made because it has equipped me with a set of techniques and tools to solve not only complex problems but also on a much larger scale. With this skill set, I’m confident that I’m able to use data to generate as much impact as possible for businesses and individuals.

After looking through the various bootcamps available, Le Wagon came out as my top choice as I came across many good reviews, and the website also felt very professional and neat, and the administrative staff were also very responsive, prompt and very detailed in answering any queries that I had, and overall this gave me a very good impression of Le Wagon.
Despite the course being only a short 9 weeks, I daresay that I have learnt an incredibly broad range of topics, ranging from the basics of Python to web scraping and SQL, data analytics and visualisation tools like Numpy, Matplotlib etc, and then covering numerous machine learning and deep learning algorithms, and ending off the course with an emphasis on data engineering tools like containerization with Docker and maneuvering within GCP. I felt this to be extremely useful especially as it allowed me to realise and get prepared for the real-life data science world where we will be working on massive amounts of data and hence likely to require cloud services instead of only working on the local computer.
I was also pleasantly surprised regarding the extensive amount of prep work, challenges and resources that were provided to us prior to the bootcamp (over 40 hours of information ranging from coding to statistics and even using the terminal and using Git), and then during the bootcamp itself, a bit of time was spent going through these basics to ensure that you have a good solid foundation of general coding and math, before diving into the specifics of machine and deep learning. As someone with almost no experience in Python prior to joining the bootcamp, these extra resources really helped me a lot and eased my transition into data science.
The lecturers of this bootcamp were certainly very knowledgeable and clear in teaching, and would not hesitate to answer any questions that you might have, even if the questions are out of the scope of the lecture. I was very fortunate to have a lecturer who is very passionate in teaching, and he would constantly share with us his own experience, and provide us tips on how to survive in the data science world, how to manage projects etc. These little morsels of advice were definitely invaluable and things that you cant learn off the books, so I am very thankful for that.
Lastly, I am also very grateful that Le Wagon had organised a career week to help us brush up our CVs, cover letters, Linkedin profile etc, and also invited numerous alumni and external vendors to speak to us about our future prospects. I can see that Le Wagon has put in a tremendous amount of effort to help us land a job, and this was very heartening because as a bootcamp graduate with only 9 weeks of experience in data science, you tend to worry if employers will even want to hire you, and what Le Wagon has done is to help us establish connections, brush up on our resumes, and maximise the chances of getting a job, so I am really very appreciative and thankful for that. - CarlosGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BaliVerified by LinkedInJun 24, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I took the 9 week full stack development course in Bali. It was a great experience, where we learnt all the necessary skills to get a first job in tech. The staff were super engaging and supportive all throughout the entire course. I will say you must be motivated and you will only get out what you put in but if you work hard and stay focused, this course has plenty of value to offer and will no doubt put you in a position to get you where you want to be. - Alex StanescotWeb Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BaliVerified by LinkedInJun 24, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The tools and information I have learned and have now have prepared me to do just that, I know that there is still a long road ahead to go before I can complete all my goals in life, but this course has been an absolute game changer for my life, the teaching staff, the course material and the life long friends, some of which I now call my family, and connections through the incredible Alumni channels I have access to now have set me up to be able to look at a website and completely understand how I could build it from scratch. My only drawback is that it ended so soon - I started to enjoy going into class and working in pairs, teams and sometimes alone, which is weird for me because I never enjoyed going to class before, I felt at home with the people in the class, that I had met like-minded individuals that share similar goals to me, and was able to grow with the help of Daniel, Rayhan, Christina and Shania, these teachers; all of which had graduated from the bootcamp. The course itself is intense, Monday through Friday, 9 till 6, but as it goes on, and you build up knowledge you realise their process and why it works so well. As well as the fact that once you're done coding for the day, you're still in Bali! The local life here is incredible, the people are so friendly, and the food is amazing, I've completely change the way I live whilst out here, from what I eat to when I wake up, I joined a gym and tried my hand at surfing (wasn't the best surfer in the batch by a long shot but caught my first wave on my birthday and totally understand the reason its so popular). I couldn't recommend this course, especially here in Bali, more. I truly have had the time of my life and now can continue on moving forward to achieve my goals. - LuísStudent • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LisbonVerified by LinkedInJun 18, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
