Le Wagon was everything I could expect from a course and so much more. Even though there's plenty to learn in just 9 weeks, the hands-on approach, constant feedback, and helpful staff make it possible. In addition, focus on interactions between the students and the teachers gives an amazing sense of community.- Munji KahalahStudent • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • AmsterdamVerified by LinkedInOct 12, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

At first, I admit I wasn't quite sure of my choice, I was worried if I could make it, or if companies would really hire me but I enrolled in Le Wagon's web development course anyway and it was beyond my expectations. I'd already heard the course was good before but experiencing it and seeing all the insecurities going down as you trust the program is amazing! Plus...if you are worried whether the stack they teach is too limited. Believe me, it is not. If you are a really committed student you can take the best of it and build up an impressive foundation as a web developer. - Mert ArslanFront-end Developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • AmsterdamVerified by LinkedInOct 08, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I am Mert, I’m from Turkey and I recently graduated from Le Wagon’s web development bootcamp (batch#700 – September’21).
I have a degree on Chemical & Biological Engineering; before joining the bootcamp I worked in different areas trying to find my way, but I always felt something was missing. While trying to understand what I wanted to work on, I realized that I really have a passion for UI/UX design and web development, which led me to looking for courses where I can expand my knowledge and shape the next steps of my career. Then, I found Le Wagon. The school immediately impressed me with all the positive reviews it had, so I decided to give it a go. That decision was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life.
From day one ‘till the end of the bootcamp, we had full support from our teachers and TAs on how to approach problems, and how to solve them systematically. The buddy system is a wonderful thing; you get to know your peers and it gives you different perspectives on finding solutions to problems you face. Le Wagon doesn’t just teach you Ruby or web development; they teach you how to learn a language, and how to approach & solve problems. In a matter of only 9 weeks, me and my group, who had no previous knowledge about coding, were able to create this beautiful web app: https://www.streamdream.me
So, if you are looking to either start your coding career or expand your knowledge, you don’t need to look anywhere else. Le Wagon is the school for it, and I can not recommend it more!

Le Wagon nails it!
I've always loved technology. From web design projects for personal or professional use, to teaching coding and robotics to elementary students, I jumped in every opportunity possible to learn more. I knew bits and pieces in a lot of things, but I needed to fill in the blanks to be able to create what I had in my mind. I wanted a structured and a cohesive program to move forward.

From web design projects for personal or professional use, to teaching coding and robotics to elementary students, I jumped in every opportunity possible to learn more. I knew bits and pieces in a lot of things, but I needed to fill in the blanks to be able to create what I had in my mind. I wanted a structured and a cohesive program to move forward.
I found that, but so much more! Le Wagon Web Development bootcamp was an intense 9-week adventure, well beyond my expectations. The Montreal Batch #657 was the best group I could have spent my summer 2021 with, even if I joined remotely from BC day after day. As the weeks flew by, I’ve learned to think as a developer. I've learned to learn as a developer. I've learned what it feels like to be a developer. I had so many crazy moments feeling invincible, and others, not so glamorous, pulling my hair and feeling lost. But amongst all those, in the highs and the lows, I had Le Wagon's team guiding me and never letting me down!
I wanted to be challenged. I was!
I wanted to have fun. I did!
I wanted to push my limits. I had to!
I wanted to be able to look back and celebrate my growth. I sure can!
Le Wagon helped me strengthen a real foundation I can continue to build on as a developer, but also as an entrepreneur. Le Wagon gave me tools to grow on so many levels. Beyond programming languages. Beyond technical skills. And I am very grateful that I embarked on this fantastic journey.

Amazing course, great experience!!
I attended the Le wagon software engineering intensive this year (2021) in London in person. The course is very well designed and has clearly been refined over the years. The best part is you are able to go from cant code to building a full web app within 9 weeks! The teaching assistants were really amazing and super eager to help. Lots of support during the program as well. The group and the teachers were very social which made it even more enjoyable. I highly recommend it. - Chidiebere OkeojiData analyst • Graduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • MontrealVerified by LinkedInSep 28, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Surfing through the net, I came across different bootcamps but Le Wagon stuck me because of its rich courses and incredible reviews. I knew straight up that I belong to this community. With zero knowledge of coding, I lunched myself full time into the data science program. My experience at Le Wagon is invaluable. I learned so so much in such a very short time (10 weeks) due to the fantastic learning structure put in place by the school. My team and I built a waste_assist image detection and classification project completely from scratch. I have also gone ahead to create a rock_paper_scissors image detection of my own.

An amazing experience
From the beginning of the Bootcamp, the teachers kept telling "Trust the program". I didn't know what they meant by that! I questioned everything. The bootcamp felt overwhelming at first. A lot of new information was thrown at us every day, and the next day built on the previous one.

I didn't know what they meant by that! I questioned everything. The bootcamp felt overwhelming at first. A lot of new information was thrown at us every day, and the next day built on the previous one. But at some point, everything started coming together: The morning lectures, the buddy system, the live code at 5pm, and then the flashcards in the evening… It just made perfect sense and work out so well, to my surprise. It's a PERFECT program - for everyone - regardless of their background, whether they are coders or non-coders… The teachers and TA are very knowledgeable. They are extremely friendly and patient. Sometimes they go out of the way to help students, even during lunchtimes or after hours if necessary. The teachers taught me how to code but also how to be patient, be gentle with myself, and work in a team effectively. The management team is extremely polite and friendly. They're always available to help with any issues, including personal ones. The Community Manager helped me a lot to manage some personal breakdowns. I also love Le Wagon Montreal's location, the view, and the atmosphere of the campus. Not only that, they have free tea, K-cups coffee, and fruits. And then there is yoga on Wednesdays, Happy Hour on Fridays… A lot of activities besides coding, which is very important to balance the body and the mind. The Career Week was extremely helpful. I enjoyed the Lunch & Learn sessions with special guests, Alumni Q&A, and talk with an HR specialist. This week served as guidance to find a job, get ready for interviews, polish my resume and Linkedin profile. It was well organized and very informative. All and all, I am 100% satisfied. Honestly, Le Wagon thought of everything! From the content materials to the well-being of every student. It's hard for me to think of anything for improvement! If you're on the fence (just like me at the beginning) and wondering if you should take Le Wagon bootcamp or not, please do yourself a favor – take a leap of faith – and GO FOR IT! Like I did. And I'm thrilled that I did.

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.

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.
