Le wagon - Cologne
Amazing experience, the campus is cozy and comfortable, the staff and the teachers are super friendly and supportive.
I learned a lot, and had so much fun there.
Le wagon helped me to move from a beginner stage where I'm a research assistant doing basic data analysis, to doing a full project where I built a machine learning tool to predict violence at demonstrations.

I had absolutely zero experience but the format of the web development bootcamp was incredibly accessible. The course was certainly challenging but also incredibly gratifying. The way the course progressed was perfect, starting with the foundations and moving towards more and more complex concepts. It worked well because all of the skills we learned were constantly reinforced when we moved on to the more advanced coding. The daily schedule was very conducive to my learning style with short lectures and heavy emphasis on the practical exercises. The teachers and teaching assistants were so knowledgeable and approachable I always felt comfortable to ask for help even if I was struggling with something simple. The course provided me with an incredible base knowledge to enter the world of coding and taught me how to think like a programmer. Although I am not actively pursuing a job right now, I am confident that when I do, I will be very well prepared to start my career as a junior developer and progress quickly with the skills I learned. Above all of this, I cannot speak highly enough of all the staff at Le Wagon in Lisbon. Everyone was truly amazing, intelligent, wonderful people that made the whole experience even better. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is eager to learn to code with no prior experience as well as to people who want to hone their skills and build on previous knowledge. - ClémentWeb Developer • GraduateVerified by LinkedInMay 17, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The professors and TAs are great and always there to support us during these 9 intense weeks. After the bootcamp, you'll forever be part of Le Wagon's community, a caring community full of opportunities.
Wether you want to become a developer of just improve you tech skills, Le Wagon will be fore sure a life-changing adventure. - ChristianGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisVerified by LinkedInMay 17, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Best bootcamp to start a freelance carreer

This is why I decided to specialize in this domain with Le Wagon Data Science Bootcamp. I can say that it exceeded my expectations.
Firstly, the prepwork and the Python week0 ensure that you start the bootcamp at the same level as everyone else. Then, the balance between theoretical lectures and practical exercises along the bootcamp is perfectly adjusted so that 9 weeks after your first lines of Python, you are already developing prediction models based on neural networks.
Finally, the most important thing is that after the bootcamp, le Wagon does not leave you all alone in the Data Science world, you always have a lot of help and support from the staff and also from the alumni network to help you find your own direction.
All of this gave me enough confidence to start my own business as a freelance in data analytics.

Even if the bootcamp is very intense and quite technical, the TAs (Teaching Assistant) and the Le Wagon staff will ensure that you comprehend every concept, learn how to properly use Data Science tools and make the most of this amazing experience. Another great perk is that you can take the AI Developer certification following the bootcamp, delivered by the French government and for which the bootcamp will have prepared you for 9 weeks. All in all, the Data Science bootcamp at Le Wagon is a great way to step into the world of Data. - Julie GastelluFull Stack Developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisVerified by LinkedInMay 09, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I was following a common career path: prep school, business school and permanent contract in a big company. I was looking for the X factor. Something was definitely missing. I realized that I was attracted to the tech scene. Coding is a huge asset on the labour market today. I needed a fresh start which made sense. The Wagon arrived at the railway station and I got on board. Trust the method, it works 💪
Now, I am thrilled. It feels like so many new doors have been opened ! I am contemplating the future with a positive and a confident mindset knowing the Wagon family will always be there ! Definitely feel free to do the same, such a refreshing experience ! - TempesttFullstack Developer • Graduate • Web Development Course - Full-time (Remote) • LisbonVerified by LinkedInMay 05, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

They encouraged us to be bold, be involved and ask questions, and no question was too silly to ask. I also appreciated that the instructors taught us best practices used in the industry.
The program was really intense and challenging but so fruitful, especially towards the end when we're expected to produce projects and present them in Le Wagon's Demo Day. Our team built a marketplace app and another project that featured a live auction! Le Wagon's staff was there to help us with any issues every step of the way! I learned so much!
I graduated feeling empowered and prepared to take on the web development field. If you are debating on whether to attend or not, trust my review and the reviews of others.

You will learn from scrach all the main skill to learn how to think and work as a programmer. I never had any contact with programming before and with this Bootcamp I fell in love with it and got a job as a junior programmer two months after graduating. For me it was the best decision I made, putting myself to the challenge of changing careers with the Le Wagon Bootcamp. - AadelStudent • Web Development Course - Full-time (Remote) • BrusselsVerified by LinkedInMay 03, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I used to work in the banking sector before joining Le Wagon. My mission was to coach clients as well as colleagues in the Retail & Private Banking in their digital transition. Even if the challenge my team and I faced every day was great, I felt it wasn't enough. I wanted to contribute to design and develop the bank's digital channels based on everything I learned from being close to the end users.

Even if the challenge my team and I faced every day was great, I felt it wasn't enough. I wanted to contribute to design and develop the bank's digital channels based on everything I learned from being close to the end users.
There are many coding schools in Brussels, but I was looking for the one that would allow me to work on real projects from scratch. With Le Wagon, I'm immersed in daily challenges with my buddy and a team of teachers if any problem is detected. As the challenges progress, my buddy and I feel like devs, startup founders, designers, and much more! incredible feeling! I discovered new tools and concepts used in the tech world and sometimes deepened my knowledge for some of them I already knew. You will end this training with more opportunities than DEV back-end, front-end and FullStack if you want to choose another path: growth marketer/hacker, UI/UX designer, product manager, product owner,.... The experience was amazing and I highly recommend it to EVERYONE. Learning and/or understanding code at Le Wagon is the best way to stay competitive or to reorient your career.

Firstly, the course is very focused on practice: we spent about 6 hours per day coding and solving challenges.

Secondly, the course shows us a wide range of tools/topics that we can use on our projects and future jobs: SQL, statistics, storytelling, machine learning, deep learning, and data engineering.
Besides, students have the opportunity to finish the Bootcamp with their project:- we choose what is the topics of the project;
- we do the project ourselves (teachers and TA just give help when needed, they don't do the project for us); and
- we present the project (on Youtube).
Last but not least, the networking opportunity is amazing, not only with our colleagues in the Bootcamp but also with the rest of the Le Wagon community (more than 10,000 ex-students).
To summarize, if I had to go back in time and decide if I would do (or not) the Bootcamp, I would decide to do it again without any doubt.
