Le wagon Barcelona - an amazing learning experience
I spent the last 3 months doing Le wagon Full stack boot camp, and this was one of the best decision of my life I would never have learned so much in 3 months alone or even in another school.
Not only you will learn so much and feel like you can work on any project after the boot camp but the staff is also amazing for the teachers to Irina the manager everyone is so welcoming and helpful they will make sure you you are progressing and having a good time! - Ricardo Mil-HomensStudent • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJul 04, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I attended the Web Development bootcamp at Le Wagon Lisbon and I am still amazed with everything I have learned and created.
These were some 9 intensive weeks, filled with lectures, challenges, projects and events. The bootcamp is structure in such a way that everything is connected and progression feels really natural and fluid. Every day you are partnered with a different person and together you work through the daily challenges, all with the help of really great teachers and TAs who are there for you.
The environment is also the best. From the infrastructures to the amazing staff and the all-around great mood, you will feel welcomed, supported and right at home.
Coming from a completely different background (tourism), I had never coded before the bootcamp and always thought it would be something that was really hard to learn. Thanks to Le Wagon, I now know it's not and I can finally have the career change I wanted. You can do it too. - Santa CaduschSoftware engineer • Student • Web Development Course - Full-time (Remote) • ZurichVerified by LinkedInJul 01, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Le Wagon Zurich - highly recommend
I attended Le Wagon bootcamp in 2021. To this day I believe it was one of the best decisions I made for myself. I was one of the students who went from 0 to 100 in those intense 9weeks with nearly no prior knowledge when I joined. Curriculum was extensive and covered all aspects enabling us to graduate and present a web app that was built in the last 2 weeks of bootcamp in a group of 3 students.
Teachers were extremely supportive while also ensuring we get the best out of ourselves.I attended Le Wagon bootcamp in 2021. To this day I believe it was one of the best decisions I made for myself.

I always knew that the bootcamp is the first step into switching my career to software development and I will continue learning and developing my skills also after graduation, however that being said, I felt comfortable with my level of knowledge when I started my first job as software engineer, thanks to the challenging curriculum offered by Le Wagon and extraordinary teachers that made it possible.

I attended Le Wagon's remote's Web Development Course - Full-time from April 2022 to June 2002. What I got was beyond my expectatives. I've already heard of the "normal" path (IRL) but the remote was really intensive & high quality. From 9 to 6pm, we have little theory in the morning, then directly on coding challenges.

I've already heard of the "normal" path (IRL) but the remote was really intensive & high quality. From 9 to 6pm, we have little theory in the morning, then directly on coding challenges. Of course, it seems difficult, but:
1/ we have the main teacher + bunch of teacher's assistants always here to help us.
2/ we worked in team of 4, which is really great and that changes every days, so we can really "meet" all the students
3/ it is really practical to manage with the fact that we can study from wherever we want, as it is remote.
4/ the back office / student's platform is amazingly well built to follow our daily progress.
What I liked the most, was that despite the online, we really built strong links with the other students.
When ending Le Wagon, we have a great tools box, and can start whatever job as junior. They teach us how to think, organise, solve coding problems & give us the keys to - after le Wagon - dig into new other learnings. This is the most important. Of course, we don't know everything (far from it), but we can independently after le Wagon, learn by ourselves. There is also a career week at the end, which is very very helpful to make the transition from the Camp to the "back to reality".
I recommend Le Wagon, for everyone who: wants to become a dev, wants to build a firm project/start up where general high knowledge is requested, becomes head of product, wants to change one's life (new career), even maybe becoming a coding teacher (starting as teacher assistant). As a mother of 2 young kids, it was quite challenging, but possible.

Le Wagon Zurich gave me the web development foundation I needed to pursue a career as a Software Engineer. They have an excellent curriculum and wonderful teachers that care about each student's development.

I’ve just graduated after 9 weeks of intense coding sessions and I am seriously amazed of how much one can learn in such a little time with the right teachers and approach.
The balance between lessons and coding session is successful since it allow every student to have a first insight of the topic during the explanation and the live codes and then brings him/her/them directly to face the actual practice and problems. I definitely suggest Le Wagon to anyone who wishes to change career path to code. - NiStudent • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ZurichVerified by LinkedInJun 30, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

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.

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. The staff is always available and does all they can to ensure that your experience is the best it can be. 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. I couldn't be happier with it and I truly recommend it to anyone looking for a Web Development bootcamp! - Alan GrunbergData Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • BaliVerified by LinkedInJun 26, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

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

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.
