After a long time of deciding whether to risk taking a course in programming, I decided to jump headfirst into the Le Wagon course.

The last 2 weeks were dedicated to a team project where we designed the idea using Figma, built the backend with Ruby on Rails, and the frontend with HTML, CSS, and JS. In the end, it took a great team effort to put all these elements together and create an application.

I am working in investment and had always been willing to join this bootcamp because of a personal interest in code and Tech, and to finally be able to work on my own pet project or later join a career in tech. I had plenty of very positive word-of-mouth feedback: I wasn't disappointed.

I had plenty of very positive word-of-mouth feedback: I wasn't disappointed.
From day 1 you sit right in the "real-life" web developer cockpit, pushing exercises to github, switching back and force between your terminal, your text editor and your localhost.. When stuck, you can tap your buddy and if the 2 of you can't crack it you can post a "ticket" to teachers who can then dedicate proper time to the more challenged students thanks to this well-run and iterated process.
Past week 6, you finally put everything together into 1 week for a mini "mock" project week and 2 weeks for a final real-life potential one. This theory to practice moment is so important ! Because that's exactly were you discover how different it can be to build your own App from a blank page, away from a scripted exercise. Le Wagon allows you to crash test yourself during these 3 weeks and make all the mistakes you will then be able to avoid in the real world, with the support of experienced software development professionals.
Finally, an extra week is dedicated to career orientation with individual coaching and meeting with local employers.
Thanks a lot for this very well-run process and experience - Sebastian RodriguezGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • BordeauxVerified by LinkedInSep 21, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Data Science Bootcamp
Taking part in the data science bootcamp at Le Wagon Bordeaux was one of the best experiences in my professional career. They were some intense and amazing 10 weeks of learning, coding and meeting interesting new people. I am very grateful to all the teaching staff and my classmates for their energy and help. Can't wait for the next step in my career working in Data Science! - Jorge AriasGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MelbourneVerified by GitHubSep 02, 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. - Zelal AslanWeb Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisVerified by LinkedInAug 26, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

A life changing entrance in to tech.

Le Wagon comfortably changed that! You will learn, a lot!
The setup - a lecture and then pair programming working through some fairly tough (& what felt like almost impossible at times!) challenges was a great way to learn and build confidence/technical acumen around concepts. Each subject closes with an interactive "Live Code" where concepts are ironed out by Le Wagon's tutors. Throughout the course, Le Wagon gives you exposure to the fundamentals of Web and Software Development through the likes of Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, NodeJS, HTML, CSS, Heroku, Git, Github & AJAX....plus way more..!
Immediately, the curriculum immerses you in the fundamentals of programming, understanding data types and how to manipulate them. Ruby is the back-end language of choice for Le Wagon, a good introduction to programming with very clean syntax and easy to read for those with little programming experience (and even a delight to those who have programmed in the past!). You will build a couple of small software applications using an MVC design pattern (and object-oriented programming) in pure Ruby which is a workout for the brain!
The course content moves on to relational databasing (SQL, sqlite3, Active Record), important for any developer to have learnings on. The front-end is next! You'll learn to hand-code the core fundamentals of Web Development using HTML & CSS. Popular techniques like Flexbox, CSS Grid, and Bootstrap are included too to keep your front-end sharp. JavaScript core fundamentals, DOM Manipulation, AJAX as well as plugins will give you an edge to your front end and keep the coding strong...that's not to mention that learning to prototype and wireframe an application is right after that...did I mention that you learn a lot?!
Bringing it all together - you'll launch into Rails, a popular framework that will take everything you've learned so far into account and add a lot of flexibility to any application you build. Once you've gained a little confidence, you'll join a small team and work in an agile manner to build a couple of applications utilizing everything that you've learned so far. The peak of the Bootcamp is demoing your final project at the end for everyone to see (including alumni, the general public, and your friends and family if you like!).
Post Bootcamp there is a career week that focuses on finding work in the industry if that's your aim. You'll learn how to level up your cover letters, resumes and hear from alumni who now work in the industry as well as industry professionals about tackling coding challenges and interviews. There are "Get Me Hired" events where companies will discuss their culture and upcoming roles. Le Wagon doesn't promise a job after the Bootcamp but will set you up in a very strong position to start looking. There are a lot of tech jobs out there - and A LOT of companies looking for technical skills, especially the ones that Le Wagon teaches.
Le Wagon has a huge emphasis on culture and community. The energy is incredibly positive & the Teachers/Teacher Assistants are always happy to help and answer questions (even outside of class time usually). If anyone is curious to upskill or career change, I couldn't recommend Le Wagon enough. Even those with technical backgrounds find a lot of value in the course. Personally, I've now had exposure to an entirely new world (with a creative industry background as a pro musician as well as retail & sales).
Previous to joining Le Wagon I had done a lot of research on different Bootcamps...
I am very happy to have chosen them and I look forward to continuing my journey in tech. - LenaGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • TokyoVerified by GitHubAug 25, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Worth it!
I was looking for a career change and decided to enroll in the full time web development course at Le Wagon. It’s by far the best decision I have ever made! I dove in with barely any coding experience, but in just 9 weeks I was able to learn so much on both front and back-end programming. It’s definitely a fast-paced learning experience and was hard at times, but the teachers were all incredibly patient and everyone in my class pushed each other to challenge ourselves.I was looking for a career change and decided to enroll in the full time web development course at Le Wagon.

The lessons and the learning methodology are really well-built. Teacher are comprehensive and patient. After a few weeks, I was the first impressed by my progress.
A PO will lead and communicate better with the development team. With the wagon, PO will understand developper work and their difficulties. The PO will become more efficiency.

I can't emphasise enough that the most valuable thing about the bootcamp is the community. You form a very powerful network with your fellow students and the staff. This is really important when it comes to getting introductions, hearing about job openings etc. You will also make good friends!

That was all about to change, since then I learnt python for real, statistics, data wrangling, machine learning all by doing challenging projects. The teachers were good, and I mean really there for us - ever little issue I had they were there. One thing that absolutely surprised me was although the bootcamp was entirely online, due to covid situation, the students were "handpicked" and a healthy camaraderie emerged between us, which was the cherry on the top! I have nothing but great memories from this experience - besides the intensiveness of all the work, but hey that's what it takes to learn something as challenging.
After the bootcamp, I found a fantastic job on a startup as a data product manager, all thanks to the skills I acquired at LeWagon Lisbon.
