Jordan LWeb Developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • TokyoNov 04, 2019Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceAmazing experience - would recommend 100%
Prior to Le Wagon I had no tech background at all. Le Wagon has been by far the most intensive and efficient training I have ever followed. In fact, by the end of the bootcamp I was easily able to complete take-home assignments and started working as a developer shortly after completing the bootcamp.
The methodology, the staff and people were amazing!
After 9 weeks at Le Wagon, I was able to make a web app by myself and had enough confidence to keep on learning.

Incredible experience
I've always been curious about coding but I never pictured myself as a developer. I always thought that it was some sort of world that was reserved only for the skilled and extra-smart people. One day, after talking to a friend who had done the bootcamp I visited the Le Wagon's webpage, I realised that my ideas were far from the truth and learning to code was something that I could actually do.

I always thought that it was some sort of world that was reserved only for the skilled and extra-smart people. One day, after talking to a friend who had done the bootcamp I visited the Le Wagon's webpage, I realised that my ideas were far from the truth and learning to code was something that I could actually do. Now, after finishing the program, I realise that I enjoy coding more than I initially thought and there's a whole new world ahead of me. Doing Le Wagon's coding bootcamp was for sure one of the best investments in my personal and professional growth. All the content is carefully organised in a way that at the end, we end up being able to build a web application from scratch, and only in 9 weeks!! The teachers were all top-level! Every single one of them, covering all the topics, they were well-versed on the subject-matter and that was very reassuring. The learning materials were also designed in a way that are so cool to use and revisit whenever we need. Even today, when I'm developing some new project, I go to Le Wagon's Kitt platform to review some topic or video lecture. Having access for life to this knowledge repository is worth the investment! The management staff was also extremely professional and always caring for our needs. They made constant efforts to make sure that everybody was keeping up with the pace and always made us feel comfortable and at home. For me it's still a joy to go the school for a visit, hangout with new friends or to do some work from there. Also it's worth mentioning the worldwide community that I'm part of now. Le Wagon's online network allows us to share whatever issue with our fellow Wagoners that are across the world and that's also very comforting. I now feel that I'm part of a new family :) In short, learning to code at Le Wagon really changed my life for the better and I really recommend to anyone who's willing to make the plunge into this exciting world. - CharlesFounder • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonOct 29, 2019Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Best career decision

With no prior technical knowledge, and Uni being a vague memory for me, I have to admit that those 9 weeks were pretty intense. But between the amazing teachers and the mutual support between students, it felt like one of the most vibrant experience of my life. More than skills, Le Wagon teach you to be product oriented and above else, made me part of a family of vibrant professionals, always looking after each other.
Thanks to Le Wagon, I’m now finalizing my landing page and will soon launch an MVP of my product, myntee.io. - Fernando MartinsPartner • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • Rio de JaneiroOct 29, 2019Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Rio Batch # 298
As a partner in an EdTech Company i wanted to understand better how code is built, how is the process of the tech team working together.
That is why i looked for a coding bootcamp.
I stayed away form my company for 9 full weeks and it was 100% worth it!

Best life-learning experience
You do not learn to read and write to become a writer, you learn it to be able to communicate and actively participate to your environment. Le Wagon allows you to do both: it not only gives you the skills to become a Junior Developper, it also increases your product and entrepreneurial mindset to be able to thrill in a potential future career in the Tech field.

Le Wagon allows you to do both: it not only gives you the skills to become a Junior Developper, it also increases your product and entrepreneurial mindset to be able to thrill in a potential future career in the Tech field.
Prior to le Wagon, as a brand new graduate in a traditional Economics & Management bachelor, I had no clue I could be up to learning how to code. We all have this cliché in mind that it is a skill reserved to ‘engineers’. The only skill required to master web development is a true and determined motivation.
I first attended Le Wagon to gain independence and be able to create web products from scratch. I achieved my goals following their intense but extremely qualitative bootcamp program, surrounded by an amazing teaching team. What made my experience so unique is that they put as much efforts in teaching students how to code than animating and reinforcing the community. Attending a Le Wagon bootcamp also means accessing several entrepreneurial talks from inspiring startups, attending workshops, have fun during afterworks, and above everything meeting incredible people with whom you will build a very strong team spirit until final projets.
Le Wagon is a life changing experience and now that the bootcamp is finished I am starting my Master in Management with full-stack Developper skills, a strong and efficient product mindset, access to professional opportunities through Le Wagon active community, thousands of new ideas and more importantly, the opportunity of evolving in a career I will have chosen. I 10,000% recommended it.

The Pros of doing the LeWagon for me(Fullstack SP #296)

Doing the LeWagon bootcamp in São Paulo, as a student of the batch #296, was one the best decisions i've made to my future and i can give lots of arguments of why. LeWagon focuses on teaching students ruby, rails and JavaScript, using a very unique dynamic called the buddy system, where you work each day with a different partner and learn skills of coding while improving areas like communication. You still have very good teachers, who are responsible for the classes at the start of the day and can help you and your partners with some problems that may come up during the day. The most important part for me is the amount of exercises that you have to learn during everyday of the bootcamp, using the kitt challenges. In conclusion, The LeWagon bootcamp offers a very good course for your curriculum, where you can learn more about coding and starting your carrer an dev.

Doing Le Wagon, one of the best professional decision I took!
After 15 years in audit and corporate finance in a few countries, I was looking for a change and new challenges. One of my relationship suggested I should learn coding and introduced me to Le Wagon. I immediately liked the program and registered for the summer batch in Paris. As most of the participants, I was a bit skeptical when we started the first week that we could achieve a real VMP at the end of the bootcamp as they told us. The result was beyond my expectation.

After 15 years in audit and corporate finance in a few countries, I was looking for a change and new challenges. One of my relationship suggested I should learn coding and introduced me to Le Wagon. I immediately liked the program and registered for the summer batch in Paris. As most of the participants, I was a bit skeptical when we started the first week that we could achieve a real VMP at the end of the bootcamp as they told us. The result was beyond my expectation. Not only we managed to do it in the last two weeks, but the adventure was just starting. We decided with one of my batch member to continue to develop our product and to create our on own company which we are currently doing now. A real thanks to Le Wagon and its team (teacher, assistants, staff,…) and to all our batch for this 9 weeks. The organization, tools and community we met were above expectation for me. I definitely recommend the experience for anybody who wants a change in his/her professional life.

Recently I became an ex-management consultant and a newly Le Wagon alumni @Lisbon #tooproud. I decided to take the leap once I grew interested in working in a tech environment while attending many client's meetings where digital and IT pain points and challenges were becoming the center of the discussion. I wanted to join the challenge. Soon I found Le Wagon to be #1 coding bootcamp in Europe, web development centered, hands-on and ambitious program. That was why I chose this team, and I chose well! The community is super engaging and the intense 9 weeks at Le Wagon were sure 1 out of the 5 top experiences of my life. Plenty of good-hearted people, eager to learn and be better.
I achieved my personal objective: I learned a good crazy language to start with (Ruby!), OOP, MVC, and my beloved Front-End, as well as how to tackle product development from the very start to the very end.
My advice: join our community :) - Simona C.Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonOct 23, 2019Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

With so many bootcamps out there I was torn on which one I should I apply for. After some extensive research I ended up choosing Le Wagon. I completed Bootcamp 273 in Bali back in August 2019 and couldn't be happier with my choice.
The full stack course provides you a great grounding in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL and Ruby. It's a challenging curriculum and there were times when I felt like I was simply not progressing or struggling to understand a particular concept, but Guido and the rest of the team were always on hand to help. Besides being challenging the course is also incredibly fun and rewarding. Having an idea in your head and bringing it to life with code is just an amazing experience.
At the end of the bootcamp I couldn't believe what our team had managed to achieve. We developed a fully functioning app that served as a platform to match recycling banks with recycling collectors, the idea was to help reduce the amount single use plastic a prevalent problem in South East Asia and I was so proud with what the team and I managed to build.
If you're on the fence on whether to go on the Le Wagon, my advice would be to just go for it. You will not be disappointed, it's an incredible life changing experience!!

But how to start? My project (to promote sports in the workplace) was based on a web platform. My issue? I did not know anything about coding websites or applications. So, I decided to look for a CTO as a co-founding partner. I shaked my network, and the network of my network to talk with people who had created tech companies or who were working with developers. After some interviews, all were unanimous: it's almost impossible to find an available CTO. As the demand is way higher than the offer = it's a very expensive knowledge". But ONE word came back three times: "Le Wagon: change your life learn to code". This is how I started two months later my incredible 3-month experience at Le Wagon. 9 (very very) intensive weeks to learn a new language. To start a new life. To challenge my learning abilities, more than durung the 10 years I spent developing field agility. Why Le Wagon is a successfull coding bootcamp? Thanks to its pedagogy based on : 1- boisterous rhythm whose strength is that theorical classes(25% daily) are wisely mixed up with practical exercises (75%). When your brain is utterly fried, you keep on underpinning fundamentals notions. 2- People's diversity and background wealth : everyday, thanks to a "random wheel" they "forced" you to work with a different, new, buddy. Smart move. Besides cultivating a supportive and friendly athmosphere, we created a "clan" strong feelings. 3- Everybody is dedicated to your success. Every teacher, teacher assistant or staff member is solicitous for one reason: they were in your shoes a few months or weeks before. To sum up, Le wagon is a professional, human and crazy experience you have to live. - camille lambertGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisOct 22, 2019Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
A great challenge
I used to work in programmatic advertising and I was looking for a new challenge. I felt my profile was lacking of technical skills and I wanted to do something more concrete but in a short amount of time.
I decided to do le wagon and it was an amazing experience. Extremely intense though but worth it.
I wouldn’t have imagined my self being able to do what I achieved at le Wagon.
I highly recommend it.
