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.
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. - Hwa JieStudent • Web Development Bootcamp - Part-time • SingaporeVerified by GitHubMay 31, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Make the SMART choice
I underwent the 6 month part time full stack web development bootcamp in Singapore and never looked back. The course was very extensive and required us to cram a lot into the 6 months, but we all emerged as better coders. It was a truly immersive experience with pitch nights and demo days to bring concepts and products to life - if anything it was TOO much excitement in the times of COVID.

The course was very extensive and required us to cram a lot into the 6 months, but we all emerged as better coders. It was a truly immersive experience with pitch nights and demo days to bring concepts and products to life - if anything it was TOO much excitement in the times of COVID. Post the course completion, Le Wagon also went through the trouble of arranging career talks and invited external guest speakers to come down and share their experiences, making sure that we had everything we needed in order to make the next move in our careers.
In all, choosing to learn how to code was one of the best decisions I made in the stagnant year of 2020. It was such an amazing experience learning how to code alongside other determined professionals, and though the journey was tough, my excellent teachers Prima, Miguel and Ann always made sure that I walked out of class learning just a little bit more. Would definitely recommend as a place to go in a heartbeat to anyone who's considering learning how to code.

Fantastic Experience and Community
Before Le Wagon I had tried many time to learn by myself how to code in order to be able to build projects as a creative outlet. Unfortunately, despite the abundance of ressources online I just didn’t know where to start and couldn’t find a program with the right structure for me to learn by myself. Additionally, keeping myself motivated enough to keep learning by myself proved to be difficult.Le Wagon helped address all theses issues.

Unfortunately, despite the abundance of ressources online I just didn’t know where to start and couldn’t find a program with the right structure for me to learn by myself. Additionally, keeping myself motivated enough to keep learning by myself proved to be difficult.Le Wagon helped address all theses issues. The program is perfectly structured to gain a thorough understanding of the fundamentals before building on more advanced topics and sets you up to be able to build on that foundation at your own pace later on. Additionally, I found the blend of lectures and practice allowed me to really challenge and validate my understanding before moving on.However, the best thing about the program remains the people, both students and teachers. Le Wagon built such a wonderful community that makes the experience enjoyable and motivating. Learning alongside such driven individuals made me want to give it my best and fostered an amazing atmosphere to keep us motivated and excited for the duration of the program. Being able to count on your peers and mutually contribute to our learning experience is of immense value.Overall I couldn’t be more proud of what I accomplished over these last few months. I met amazing people and learn exciting new skills which I look forward to push further as I begin working on new projects.Thank you for an amazing 6 months! - MaiteFullstack Engineer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MelbourneVerified by LinkedInMay 25, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Best decision ever!
I chose Le Wagon because it was recommended to me by 2 friends that had done it a couple of years back. It was super demanding (as you can expect for a coding bootcamp) but it was the best decision I made. The level of organisation and support was everything I was missing when learning by myself. From day 1 you are able to access the entire curriculum, slides, resources, exercises and videos you are going to use during the course.

From day 1 you are able to access the entire curriculum, slides, resources, exercises and videos you are going to use during the course. The teachers are available at all times to answer your questions and you get to meet and work with a group of people that are going through the same process as you. Last but not least, you get to join a 10K+ global community, where you can always connect with new people.
