André MarinhoData Analyst • Graduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • Rio de JaneiroOct 12, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceA watershed moment in my career
I've known Le Wagon for 5 years before enrolling in my first course (data).
My friends that participated in the web development always told me how amazing their methodology and the whole community was. And although it arouse some curiosity in me, I had no idea how life changing it could be.
I'm super interested in how programming and analytics can offer us possibilities to exercise our creativity and handle uncertainties in order to make more sense of the world we live in.

My friends that participated in the web development always told me how amazing their methodology and the whole community was. And although it arouse some curiosity in me, I had no idea how life changing it could be.
I'm super interested in how programming and analytics can offer us possibilities to exercise our creativity and handle uncertainties in order to make more sense of the world we live in.
My domain of work is consumer behavior, and in the last years, as I was getting more acquainted to this theme 'data science', I felt that diving deeper into this field would allow me to extract much more value from my work.
So I started to study on my own, I led some data science projects in my former company, but since I didn't properly have a tech background (and neither people I would work directly with), I would always feel that there was something missing. As if I was working on separate pieces, but not really connecting all of the dots.
That's when Le Wagon comes into play.
I wanted to level up my game, to put some structure on things, to feel that I had a kind of blueprint to address business problems, and - perhaps the most important - to feel that I was part of a supportive community (I mean, we are talking about a super dynamic field in which the only constant is the change, so having this active community helps a lot to keep up to date).
Right before making the decision to leave my job and enroll in the full-time bootcamp, I felt a little insecure. I guess my past experiences led me to be somehow skeptical about the potential of learning institutions.
But I can affirm today that making this decision was a watershed moment, and that Le Wagon exceeded all of the expectations I could have.
The methodology is indeed fantastic, the local community incredibly friendly and supportive, so although you spend months of suffering, you are also having lots of fun. Not to mention the broader community, which is super active and engaged.
I feel that I've accomplished all of my goals and a lot of bonuses came together.
So if you're interested in programming, data science, technology in general, and you're considering to participate in a bootcamp, don't take as long as I did. I can assure you won't regret.- Dimitri ZimermannWeb Developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • Rio de JaneiroOct 12, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Great time
It was always a pleasant learning atmosphere. I have learned a lot in a very short time. The team at Le Wagon is great. The batch manager did a great job of accommodating all the students. The bootcamp is intense. A high level of comprehension and concentration are an advantage. - Carla ValdiviaFreelance developer • Student • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • Rio de JaneiroOct 07, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
It was amazing!
I did Le Wagon in Rio de Janeiro. I was batch #609 (it seems so long ago).
I absolutely loved it!
So far, it was the most rewarding educational experience I've had so far.
Those were very intensive 9 weeks filled with coding, joy, friendship and stress. Yes, stress, because it's not easy to learn how to code. But the teachers were always there for us when we had doubts.

I was a little bit skeptical about what was going to be the outcome. And now I see that after 9 weeks of very intensive studying I had all the tools I needed to look for a junior developer position.
I honestly think that if you come prepared for the bootcamp and you dedicate yourself to really study during those 9 weeks, you will be fit to find a job anywhere.

From 0 to Hero
After completing my MSc in Marine Biology, I knew I should have worked with data - and a lot. I came to Le Wagon Brussels with this goal clear in mind, expecting to learn the basics of coding. But the experience proved itself to be much more. Having little to no background in Python, I was challenged from day one. To code, of course, but also to shift my way of thinking.

Having little to no background in Python, I was challenged from day one. To code, of course, but also to shift my way of thinking. Le Wagon ultimately (re)taught me how to learn, dramatically improving my problem-solving skills. The curriculum was well-structured, with a right increment in the difficulty of the arguments. Topics like communication, teamwork and project management weren't left out, giving a complete and life-like overview of Data Science. The additional workshops organised by Le Wagon also helped us to keep updated with the latest developments in the field. Throughout the bootcamp, the entire staff provided us with the support we needed, from week 0 to career week, both in person and with extensive resources. I would definitively recommend the bootcamp :) - Luca VisaggioMarketing manager • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Part-time • OnlineOct 06, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
An amazing programing journey
Before Le Wagon I tried also a cheap online corse and a free course in italy. But honestly both of them weren't that good. Before quiting my dream to change career and start working in the web dev fild I decided to try one last time.
So I did my research, I started read reviews (also here) watch YouTube videos, look on reddit and make phone call to different Bootcamps, asking them their syllabus and other corse and post course related questions.

So I did my research, I started read reviews (also here) watch YouTube videos, look on reddit and make phone call to different Bootcamps, asking them their syllabus and other corse and post course related questions.
I'm the kind of person that before spending a good amount of money on something need to be 100% sure it is worth it.
And that how I arrived at Le Wagon.
Before starting I was a little afraid, since I needed to do the course wile working (I did the part-time) + the course was online + I had a 2 months old baby at that time.
And to be honest, I was right to be afraid.
The course is challenging and you need to work on it, because learning something like coding is not a walk in the park.
But how they structured the course, how they implemented the buddy system plus the Teachers and TA, made my coding journey great.
ABOUT THE COURSE
The course start with ruby and at beginning,, I know that ruby is not the most famous language out there. But I still thought that Le Wagon was a good choice.
At the beginning I hated ruby, but now I have fell in love with it.
It's easier to understand basic and complex concepts compared to other languages, but at the same time when you start learning new languages you find that they are not that complex anymore. Because you have already mastered the basics.
A huge plus is that ruby on rails is fantastic!
ABOUT THE BUDDY SYSTEM
At the beginning of the course I was a little doubtful about this system for two reasons: one the course was online and two my English was not the best.
But it's was actually really good.
Thanks to the buddy system and the friendly Teachers after 2 weeks from the start of the course I already had the chance to meet and know better half of my classmates.
It's nice to share some thoughts and opinions and find that everyone is coming from different places, different backgrounds but same love for coding.
Even though the course is finished I'm already working on a new project with five of my classmates.
That pretty much tells you how much you are able to bound during the course.
And also this system helps you learn how to work in a team has a web dev, especially in the two main projects at the end of the course.
ABOUT THE TEACHERS AND TA
The teacher where simple great.
Obviously they are really good at coding.
But they where actually also really good at teaching.
The course work with a ticket system, basically when you have a problem you can open a ticket and discuss with the teacher or the TA about the problem in is private zoom room.
They try to help you in every possible way and explain you the possible solution as many time as you want.
But the most important thing is that they were always nice and friendly. Never once I felt like they were annoyed, even when there were a lot of tickets or bugs to solve.
That my experience at Le Wagon. I know that it can be difficult to make a choice and even more to stay motivated while learning something complex like programming, but whith a good environment and enough enough motivation it's possible.
My only advice is don't be afraid and start this journey.
And always keep in mind:

The whole process of learning makes all the sense, and even though it looks like its impossible to be ready to work after 9 or 10 weeks of studying, it's just incredible how Le Wagon changes this mindset and starts to put things in place to a point of you starting to think: “I can do this!”
I couldn’t be happier, and my only regret is not having done this boot camp earlier in my life! - Federico GriggioGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • OnlineOct 06, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

A lifechanging experience
I graduated from Le Wagon having made new friends and learned more than I could have imagined. You start by learning simple principles and solving simple problems and from there you gradually build up until before you know it you are building web applications. - AntontreCEO • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Part-time • ParisOct 05, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Best Way to learn and keep link after bootcamp
LeWagon has been totally beneficial to me.
I wanted to understand and learn the technologies of site creation in fullstask mode to prepare the realization of an app. There are sometimes very high-level teachers, and there are many of them.
Objective totally achieved and all with a great team, a large and rich network to support each other after the bootcamp. - Raphael Resende Breitschaftfull-stack developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • Rio de JaneiroOct 04, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Recommend, great for a career change
I came to Le Wagon to change careers , and that i did.
I decided to take the part-time format to have more time to learn and internalize all the information (which was a lot). Not a single regret, started working on a startup recently and have no intentions of going back to my previous career.
The teachers all make then-self's at everyone disposal at nearly all-time and will make everything in their power to make sure you understood the lesson.
And a last reminder:

The teachers all make then-self's at everyone disposal at nearly all-time and will make everything in their power to make sure you understood the lesson.
And a last reminder:
Those are classes, there is no score, no bonus for good students, no demerit, no failing and redoing latter. You need to commit and dedicate yourself properly.
pros:
You will learn to program.
Fun and dynamic lessons;
emphasis on team work, giving you an edge afterwards;
great methodology and teachers;
cons:
Can seem overwhelming, but trust your teachers and colleagues.
You will lose your Saturdays to coding school. but will have a lot more time to learn (compared to full-time)
Dependent on willingness of the students. You need a bit of luck so the other students are 100% in the process as well as you to make the most of it.
