After gaining exposure to the field of programming and basic data analysis across different engineering positions after graduation, I started enjoying working with data and thought to build my career in data science!
I had a very basic idea about data science, but considering how it's the state of the art field with an immense knowledge pool, I couldn't understand where to start, or what path to follow to study with it, let alone applying the broad field in any area. To my rescue, was this fantastic course of Le Wagon - data science course.
I decided to opt for this course, because of their well thought and researched curriculum, which is perfect for people who want to venture into data science, even if they do not have prior knowledge of experience of the field. This course let us not only gain the technical knowledge but also enables our minds to think analytically and logically, which is required of a data scientist. Moreover, the teachers are extremely talented, dedicated and friendly, making such difficult concepts really easier for us to understand! By the time we finished with the course, we realized that we now have a project we built using all the skills we learnt in those 9 weeks, an amazing skillset and a mind to use those skills further in different applications!
Not only that, they provided us with extremely resourceful career advices, workshops and seminars related to whole job search process in the field of data science and even how to further venture deeper into this field! Overall, this learning experience is truly life changing, and I'd recommend this course to everyone out there who want to build their career in data science!- Ruben RubilarGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • TokyoVerified by LinkedInMar 30, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

If you are looking for a bootcamp in Tokyo, this is the number one so far.
It may sounds a cliche or just a marketing phrase but when they said you don’t need any previous knowledge or background related to coding is totally true. I have engineering background but in a totally different area.
At the very first day I couldn’t even code a simple method that prints out your full name, and now I’m just about to get a job as a web developer, is unbelievable how in just 9 weeks ...If you are looking for a bootcamp in Tokyo, this is the number one so far.

At the very first day I couldn’t even code a simple method that prints out your full name, and now I’m just about to get a job as a web developer, is unbelievable how in just 9 weeks (full-time course) they can give you the right skills and tools to be fully prepared for the real world as a web developer.
Teachers and staff members are just amazing, and is not just a bootcamp, is a whole community where you can always get a help from them even tho after completing the bootcamp and also they can help you in your job hunting, have access to lectures for ever, access to new events, etc.
To sum up, my experience was 10/10, it worth every single yen, if you want to change your career and explore new fields, this is the best investment that you can do for yourself. - Ryuichiro SuzukiGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • TokyoVerified by GitHubMar 30, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
The best learning experience
Overall, the teachers were very kind, friendly and helpful every time I went to them to ask questions, and the curriculum is very well designed and it enabled me to learn effectively and efficiently. They would happily take questions even if it is outside of the curriculum we're learning. This is the very difference between self-learning, the presence of a helping hand. - MartinGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonVerified by LinkedInMar 29, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing Experience
Before joining Le Wagon I was carrying out Master’s thesis research into the effects of stigma on implicit self-esteem. That was when I realised my future lies in data, so I enrolled in several short courses online to improve my abilities. Although it seemed like I learnt a lot from these courses there were many times that I felt lost and without anyone to turn to. There was clearly something missing. That’s why I decided to join the data science boot camp at Le Wagon.

That was when I realised my future lies in data, so I enrolled in several short courses online to improve my abilities. Although it seemed like I learnt a lot from these courses there were many times that I felt lost and without anyone to turn to. There was clearly something missing. That’s why I decided to join the data science boot camp at Le Wagon. Before joining the boot camp, I tried to make the best use of my time by completing all the pre-work suggested to us. I would 100% recommend this to anyone starting out on their boot camp journey as it eased me into the subject and meant there were no surprises when I started.
Once I joined the boot camp, I loved that I finally had an environment in which I could share confusions and victories or ask questions when I felt lost. It was amazing to work on the materials at my own pace and to know I could refer back to them when needed while getting feedback as I progressed.
I also appreciated the wonderful experience of being able to work as a team to produce a final project that I think none of us would have been able to achieve alone. In the end, I was truly proud of this project which was an online web service for autistic uses to understand more about emotions in an intuitive way. Coming from a rather tech. light background, I was unsure about getting into data science. However, now that I made the move I cannot emphasise enough how pleased I am and how much I would recommend Le Wagon to anyone interested in pivoting into data science. - Anne-Constance SIXdata scientist (entry-level) • GraduateVerified by LinkedInMar 29, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great experience !
My experience at Le Wagon has been an extremely rewarding one. The training is very dense, but the exercises are very well structured and the teaching material used is really complete and easy to use. The professors (and the team of teaching assistants) are there to answer our questions on all the steps and the buddying system really allows us to exchange easily, in a very stimulating atmosphere!
I recommend it 100%! - Marie TritschGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisVerified by GitHubMar 29, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Hi, I'm Marie, 28 years old from Paris. Right after high school, I started to work fulltime multiple jobs as I needed to care for my family, find a condo etc. Studies were not an option back then.

When I finally was in a place to plan my future, I started to look for an efficient way to learn to code (my childhood dream). I spent days and night practicing on free courses on many platforms, but that wasn't enough. A friend of mine told me about Le Wagon so I looked it up and loved the idea of a bootcamp with a very strong and active community, and I thought "why not me?". Attending Le Wagon bootcamp was the best idea possible for me, I went from "hello world" to a full functionning website in a couple weeks and learned a lot about teamwork. It's really challenging and forces you to adapt your mindset to various situations. Finally, working every day with different buddies was beyond awesome and the teachers' team were extra supportive and comforting in hard times. Best experience ever, 14/10 would recommend to a friend. - NicolasStudent • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MontrealVerified by LinkedInMar 23, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

While having a lot of difficulties finding a job in my original field (Logistics) because of the Covid-19 pandemic, I decided to learn new competencies.
As I've always been intrigued by programming and by the internet, I started looking for web programming courses and found Le Wagon Montréal.
After a month of asking questions through email conversations, I finally decided to jump into this new adventure. During 9 (very) intense weeks of learning, I encountered amazing people and discovered things unknown to me before. Le Wagon Montréal's staff is very attentive to your well-being. The teachers are patient, considerate, and will always be there to help you and answer your questions. I did not just learn programming. I did not just sit in the morning in front of my computer listening to the teachers. The program is perfectly shaped for students to be challenged and have fun at the same time.
In only 9 weeks, I am now able to build a website from scratch, with basic (but still very important) features. Just remember that 9 weeks before the end of the bootcamp, I knew nothing !
Jumping into Le Wagon Montréal's bootcamp was definitely one of the best experience of my life. - Jay CormierApplicant • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisVerified by GitHubMar 23, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Le Wagon is a fantastic moment of your life where you’re surrounded with positive and supportive people who are teaching you how to code. During these 9 weeks, I never felt left alone and was able to go above and beyond the goals I thought I could achieve : I would have loved to stay for another 9 weeks and keep training.
Le Wagon was much more that I thought and I miss a lot being there, working with my teammates. I strongly recommend this incredible journey if you’re looking for your next learning adventure. - Kyllian CreppyGraduate • ParisVerified by GitHubMar 23, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Amazing Data bootcamp
I am working as a Digital Transformation consulant specialized in Artificial Intelligence & Data at IBM France since September 2018. Before that, I studied at ESCP which is a French Business school, thus I had no technical skills before taking my job, so I was more focus on the Business side of AI when you implement it on a projet for example. I decided to do Le Wagon, because I felt that those technical skills could help me a lot in my job, and my future career.

I decided to do Le Wagon, because I felt that those technical skills could help me a lot in my job, and my future career.
It did, because I feel more legitimate to work in AI & Data field now that I know what’s going on « under the hood », I can have deeper conversations with my clients about the technical side of the project, and my missions are more attractive.
Also, I met amazing people, we had a lot of fun and I learnt new things everyday during 9 weeks ! - CassandraStudent • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisVerified by GitHubMar 22, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing Experience
I had the chance to learn how to code via Le Wagon and it was the best decision that I’ve made. The program is intense we have to be ready for these 9 full-time weeks, but so interesting and well organised. I’ve learnt so much through the program than I could have on my own.
The teachers are all amazing because they were students before us and helped a lot when we had difficulties. They also gave us really good advices and tips and I was particularly touched by their kindness.

Being everyday in pairs with a different « buddy » was also really helpful, we struggled together and we don’t feel alone.

I also have a degree in Mech Eng, but I’d always been lost about what I enjoyed doing. Then covid hit and I started to teach myself coding, using some online courses and got the bug for it. It was something that really took hold and I wanted to learn more in a structured manner. I came across coding bootcamps in my research for how to take this skill further and that’s when I discovered Le Wagon. After finding out more about it , I decided to take the leap and go for it!
The bootcamp truly has been a career changing moment, it was fast-paced and really intense but that’s what I was looking for. In 9 short weeks I went from having practically no coding skills, to being able to develop fully working and in production apps. There are two main group projects, one being a clone along the lines of AirBnB and the final project being a two week sprint, where we designed, built, tested and launched the app. The staff, TA’s and in particular all my fellow batch mates are so open and welcoming and have a great amount of knowledge and skill and even though it was all remote it was a fun and enjoyable experience.
Post bootcamp, coding really has taken hold and I’m eager to keep learning and developing my skills and working on some cool side-projects. I can’t wait to start the job search now and for my career to really begin.
10/10 would highly recommend it to anyone who’s interested in coding and wants a structured and intense learning experience.
