Great teacher support!

As a video game lover, I have always been very curious about technology and programming and knew that sooner or later I was going to make the big leap.
When I found out about Le Wagon I knew I had to do it. The experience was incredible and I not only learned a lot but also had a lot of fun during the process of learning how to code. After the 9 week program I’m overwhelmed by how much I have learned and I am eager to build on my newly acquired knowledge and keep learning. - Thibault FGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisVerified by GitHubJun 29, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Internet was missing in my life
OK Internet was already part of my life. But not of my work. I used to work for a luxury company, selecting what would be in stores.
Our clients used WeChat, Instagram or e-shops all the time but my job was centered around brick-and-mortar experience. I could not see myself cornered with retail forever so I decided to join Le Wagon to learn some code.
"You have to trust us, everybody will succeed eventually" was the first sentence I heard from the teachers.

"You have to trust us, everybody will succeed eventually" was the first sentence I heard from the teachers.
While everybody's pace was different, no one was left behind and after 9 weeks we all could code.
It's amazing to see that I can now create a web app from a glorified TextEdit file.
Le Wagon taught me web development but spiked my curiosity. I can explore concepts like Machine Learning or Big Data and I feel confident enough to do sales for an Artificial Intelligence start-up. - Clotilde LacailleGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisVerified by LinkedInJun 29, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
A really great experiment
I decided to do Le Wagon because I needed a change in my professional life, it is not easy to know what to do, in which sector and to find the right way to do it. With the Wagon I discovered the IT, it was a very intense 9 weeks but the teachers and staff are really nice and the atmosphere is very special. I met great people who I worked with every day and I really enjoyed spending time with them. It gave me a new vision of professional life, more colorful, more flexible. - MathieuApplicant • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisVerified by GitHubJun 28, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Challenging, but rewarding. Great for people serious about a career change!
Though I have not inherited any of the technical talents that my parents seemed to possess, it was time for me to venture into a new field. As a linguistics and culture studies university graduate with over three years of experience in sales and recruiting in a foreign country, I did not expect myself to excel at coding at all. When the pandemic hit, my job at the time was unstable and I had to re-educate myself to change my career.

As a linguistics and culture studies university graduate with over three years of experience in sales and recruiting in a foreign country, I did not expect myself to excel at coding at all. When the pandemic hit, my job at the time was unstable and I had to re-educate myself to change my career.
Coding is as stable as a career as they come, so I wanted to make sure I could learn at a decent pace, but still challenge myself enough to feel accomplished. Through the Ruby foundations class that was free, I got a good look at what learning coding at LeWagon would be like, and the incredible patience of the teacher and the consultation I got before signing up really sold me on the class. The class itself consists of watching lectures (often online at home), trying to learn the content by yourself first, and then solving challenges with a buddy in class; you can always ask a teacher for help. There will be live coding assisted by the teachers most days, and specific projects to work on as well. Your time at LeWagon will certainly test your ability to self-study, frustration tolerance (when your code is not working for some reason, even though you thought you did it the exact same way as the teacher), and the way you solve problems.The alumni network, the online library with all the classes, webinars, and tutorials that are available for the rest of your life are certainly some of the first addresses that I turn to, whenever I have a question, or want to learn something new.
The LeWagon class is a great way to start a new career in IT, specifically looking at Web Development. I myself even got a job at a Software Intelligence company! The way I was taught to code actually gave me an advantage in the interviews. LeWagon not only teaches the material, but also how to read technical documentation, how to google for stuff, and how to strategically solve any problem you might have on your own. That was huge and left a good impression on my interviewers.Though it was certainly tough at times and I am sure I have asked a million dumb questions, the teachers were usually patient and explained the content well. Some were even available after hours and provide almost instant support, especially during the project weeks. Even with all this support though, sometimes, you will be frustrated. Some things you won’t understand straight away, and some challenges, you might not solve on your own, and you will have to persevere and keep going. This is certainly not made for people who tend to stay in their comfort zone and shy away from challenges. All in all, I can recommend this bootcamp for anyone who might doubt their own technical talents, who likes taking baby steps, and really understand the depth of the material they are digging into. This will be a challenge, but if you work hard and give yourself a chance, LeWagon might just open up the doors for you to change the course of your life. - Anne-Marie NaultFull Stack Developer • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MontrealVerified by GitHubJun 22, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I am really glad I did! Sure, I could have learned by myself - there are really great resources online, that is true! But Le Wagon uses a very specific learning process that really ensures we absorb and apply the knowledge in an optimal way via their own platform, challenges and projects. And that’s not counting all the skills we acquire that are necessary in a developer position, outside of just programming language skills, such as learning how to learn (so important!), working together as a team, version control with Git, product design with Figma, Agile methodologies, writing user stories, prioritizing features for an MVP, etc. On top of that, Le Wagon Montréal counts on an amazing team and I am glad to now be part of that international community! I am super excited to start my new job as a full stack developer. - Rachel-nasGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisVerified by GitHubJun 22, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

My first idea was therefore to enrich my technical skills and thus have an expertise in web project management, both on a functional and technical level. But after 9 weeks of bootcamp and two projects developed in a team, I discovered a new passion. The full-time training is very intensive. But it is also very rich in terms of learning and on a human level. You get into the rhythm very quickly and eventually the time passes so quickly that you feel nostalgic before the end of the course.
I spent 9 amazing weeks, the training in general is very well organised and the staff is very competent and educational. I recommend this experience to anyone who wants to learn. - Cindy G.Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisVerified by GitHubJun 17, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Le Wagon Bootcamp
I attended Le Wagon #550 in Paris (March 2021). It was a great experience. The boot camp is very intense and teaches you all you need to launch a tech product or start a career as a developer. I would recommend it any day. Not only does it teach you the necessary programming skills, front and back end, but it also opens the door to all the Le Wagon online resources and community. Definitely worth your time and investment if you consider learning web development.
