I really enjoy all the time in Le Wagon. The whole staff was at the whole time extremely friendly, and I felt very accompanied during the whole process. I can now understand and code web applications, even thought I have never done anything related to coding before.- MatteoGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BaliSep 16, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
A unique opportunity to change your career (and life)
I decided to join Le Wagon for multiple reasons. Having had a business education, I wanted to acquire more technical skills, which are in high demand in today's job market. Secondly, I wanted to learn how to build digital products and transform my own ideas into real projects. Finally, I wanted to increase my chances of getting a job that allows me to work remotely, which is quite common in the tech world compared to other fields.
For these reasons, I decided to apply to Le Wago...I decided to join Le Wagon for multiple reasons. Having had a business education, I wanted to acquire more technical skills, which are in high demand in today's job market. Secondly, I wanted to learn how to build digital products and transform my own ideas into real projects. Finally, I wanted to increase my chances of getting a job that allows me to work remotely, which is quite common in the tech world compared to other fields.
For these reasons, I decided to apply to Le Wagon's Web Development coding bootcamp. Overall, I can say that the whole experience has been amazing. The learning path is very clear and structured. You will find yourself having a 1.30hr lecture every morning and doing the coding challenges for the rest of the day until 6pm. The learning curve is very steep and you can expect to feel overwhelmed at some points. However, the teaching staff is always available to support you throughout the process. You will start by learning the foundations of coding in Ruby, all the way up to making your own web application. You will be amazed when you look back and realize what you accomplished in 9 weeks!
I would advise you to attend the bootcamp in person rather than online, if you can. This will allow you to get to know a group of like-minded people, with different backgrounds, that will become your friends during the journey. That's very valuable for 2 main reasons: first, you'll help each other and keep the motivation/energy high during the bootcamp (the study program is quite demanding), and secondly, you'll have great friends to party and travel with (super valuable if you're in places like Bali).
One question I asked myself when choosing a coding bootcamp was the following: is 9 weeks enough time to learn coding, or should I choose a longer program (4-6 months)? Based on my experience, I would say that this is a perfect time span. You definitely learn enough to land your first job, even though it is important to keep practicing and learning after the bootcamp. Furthermore, it would be very hard to maintain this workload for a longer time period than 6 months.
Overall, I would strongly recommend this experience to anyone who is seeking a career change, new challenges, or a great learning opportunity. It will turn out to be one of your best decisions! - FrankaGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BaliSep 16, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing!!
I loved every single day here, the teachers are amazing, supportive and super skilled and the atmosphere in the batch couldn't be better. I didn't expect to learn that much in only 9 weeks; the challenges are intense but super fun, loved it:) - Angger PrayugoFull Stack Developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BaliSep 15, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

After I completed 9 weeks of the bootcamp, I am confident enough to jump into a tech world.

A great way to learn data science

I had almost no coding experience before the bootcamp, and am super proud to have been able to put into production a machine learning model built from scratch as part of the final group project! - Sjoerd de WitGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • AmsterdamSep 13, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Data Science Bootcamp
I joined the Full time Data Science Bootcamp in Bali from April to June 2022 to learn how to code and analyse data before joining a Master in Data Science starting in Septembre. I can only honestly say it was the best decision that could be made : the Le Wagon process makes complicated concepts much simpler to learn, understand and use.

I can only honestly say it was the best decision that could be made : the Le Wagon process makes complicated concepts much simpler to learn, understand and use. The classes and concepts are taught in a very clear and spot on way - we then apply these concepts in "coding challenges" everyday to learn by doing. The 9 weeks are organised in such a way that you are constantly challenged with new learning material (and there are options to go even deeper in the coding if you want) while never feeling overwhelmed and lost. I felt the teachers had the perfect balance between : 1) doing your own research to find the solutions you're looking for, 2) helping you out/ giving you tips to find those solutions.
Today, after only one week of my Master in Data Science, I am so grateful for everything the Le Wagon curriculum taught me and I go back daily to all the learning material we still have access to.
As a bonus : living in Bali for 3 months was a dream and I am still in contact with the students I met during the bootcamp- despite us all living in different parts of the world. - Raphael CohenWeb Developer • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MontrealAug 25, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I was tired of working nights and weekends so I was looking to change my career path and find a job with 'regular hours’.
Some of my friends are developers and after speaking with them, I realized that being a developer was what I wanted to do :)
As soon as I decided to make the change, I looked for a way to make it a reality. After some research, I chose to join a bootcamp instead of doing a traditional degree. Le wagon had very good reviews and a friend of friend of mine hired someone who graduated from le wagon and was very happy with his work.
I decided to join and it was an amazing experience. It was very challenging, both personally and technically but also very rewarding. I learned a lot of technical skills and programming languages, and I am still doing challenges almost 9 month after I did the bootcamp with the resources Le Wagon gave me. Finally, I learnt how to work in a team and to be efficient together.
During the last 2 weeks, the “projects weeks”, we were ready to start working like real devs, from an original idea, to develop it, code it and present it. I presented it to the community and learned how to speak in public, which was not my strong suit. I’ve learnt so much from my experience at Le Wagon and am happy to continue giving back to the community. - Giorgi BaptisteGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • NiceAug 16, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The full-time course feels like going back to university for a short semester, including meeting the other students who are learning alongside you. Not only do you get a fleshed-out training program that will prepare you to be a real developer, but by the last week the school is connecting you to a network of companies you can apply to and alumni who can give you a hand with job hunting.
On the first day, they help you set up a development environment on your computer. After that, each day you are randomly assigned a another student partner and together you work on coding challenges to complete by the end of the day. They start in Ruby, then introduce SQL so you understand the database, then Rails to begin real web projects. They also teach JavaScript to round out your skillset and show you that all programming languages share commonalities. You also use Heroku to learn a very simple introduction to DevOps if you wish to follow that path.
What I liked a lot was that the Le Wagon teachers will not only teach you the answer to problems you face while developing, but how to search for the answers to similar questions without their help. I found myself able to solve my own issues and troubleshoot after generalizing from advice the teachers gave me. Doug Berkley and Yann Klein were so patient with my sometimes slow progress and gave useful guidance while my team and I built 2 full-fledged web applications. Even if you don't end up using Ruby on Rails, you still learn to generalize the same concepts no matter what tech stack you end up using.
The head of the school, Sylvain Pierre also spent a lot of time on the non-coding side of working in the IT industry. His lectures about giving a pitch for a project, using wireframes and Figma to design an application, how to write a web developer resume were crucial for my job hunting after the bootcamp. The final project pitch night actually turned into real practice for my job interview at the company I ended up joining. I'm proud to say that I'm now a Ruby on Rails backend developer at a fintech startup in Tokyo. Without the training, education, connections, and motivation I got at Le Wagon Tokyo it would not have been possible. Thanks for the unforgettable experience! - Thomas GellierFront end developer • Student • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MontrealAug 12, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Change your life with Le Wagon
The entire bootcamp, from the first days discovering what coding is to the last day, presenting the MVP of a project we worked on for two weeks, this bootcamp was a real revelation for me.
In only 9 weeks, I was able to discover, learn and apprehend the world of coding (which seems too good to be true in only 9 weeks)!
