Great experience at Le Wagon Dubai!
I had the best experience at Le Wagon Dubai!

Best decision so far
In 2019, I was lost. I didn't like my job anymore, I didn't earn enough money, and I didn't see any prospects anymore. I was a social science editor, which was satisfying for my love of books but not for my work environment.
I decided to change my career to be able to work in any country. But I discovered much more! The Wagon brought me know-how, a community, a profession, career opportunities, and so much more!

I decided to change my career to be able to work in any country. But I discovered much more! The Wagon brought me know-how, a community, a profession, career opportunities, and so much more!
I loved my first few weeks, learning the backend with Ruby, even if I sometimes felt like I was the only one who was enthusiastic about that part. It's hard, but it's worth it! Then the frontend, well, it was great. The last three weeks focus on projects: we did two incredible apps from scratch. It was a great experience to design and build these apps. The system helps us to progress and learn quickly. What I liked is the buddy system: you work with another student every day. It teaches you to work in a group, with very different people.
I found a job two months after finishing the Bootcamp: first a 3-month apprenticeship, and then I got hired on a permanent contract.
I recommend signing in LeWagon Bootcamp if you want to change your career quickly. Don't forget: it requires a lot of energy and willpower. - JoaoBackend Engineer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • StockholmVerified by LinkedInJan 23, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
My awesome experience at Le Wagon!!!

Then COVID came and the company decided to make me and a some other colleagues redundant, and I thought I could use that “push” to change my career and my life, and I am glad I did took action on that feeling.
I signed up to Le Wagon Web Development Bootcamp in Stockholm, and I can say that is the best decision I took throughout all of 2020; it literally changed my life.I learned so much about coding and made so many good friends.
The part I loved that most was the sense of team spirit that was formed around the whole class AND the teachers. It was amazing how after only a few days we were all so comfortable with each other, always ready to help each other.
Also, the TA support was truly amazing every step of the way (big shout out to Yaniv Matalon), he was the most awesome teacher we had. Something else that I truly enjoyed was the daily meditation sessions towards the end of each day done by Eva, it really helped me recharge my mind after a full day of coding, so much so that I continued to do it after the bootcamp; or the live code at the end of every Friday while enjoying a nice cold beer, courtesy of Yves… that was super cool.
I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone that made it possible For this and so many other reasons I highly recommend Le Wagon if you are thinking of changing your life, it certainly did change mine. After all, I got a job as a junior developer 2 weeks after the bootcamp thanks to everything I learned with these guys. - HarGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonVerified by LinkedInJan 21, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I do not regret my decision at all! The staff were all incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and despite covid restrictions everything ran very smoothly. The whole program takes you right from a very beginner level right up to being ready to apply and start your career as a developer! The final project you do is great, it really encourages you to take control yourself while still having support when you truly get stuck. The project is also great as it gives you a real insight into what its like working as a developer and collaborating with your team. 10/10 would recommend kick starting your career with Le Wagon! - Henry HallGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonVerified by LinkedInJan 18, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I chose le Wagon because of their applied methodology and their focus on teaching people without any prior coding knowledge as well as their well earned reputation within the industry.
I joined the first class of the Stockholm campus and during 9 weeks I immersed myself into the world of web development. Not only did I learn coding but also how to work in a team with profiles so different from mine. I am very happy to have had teachers from all over the world who had either completed the bootcamp themselves, or were long-time industry professionals. This was very encouraging for my future.
If you are thinking about joining a coding bootcamp know that it will be the best decision you will make. Being able to achieve so much in so little time and learn a whole new scope of hard skills is incredible. If you are on that decision cross-road, keep in mind that joining a bootcamp is not the easy road to take. Give it your full commitment, set the right expectations from the beginning and never give up. You won’t regret it. - AgataGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonVerified by LinkedInJan 18, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The whole experience was fantastic. The teachers, TA’s, students, the whole community willing to help when required was something refreshing and very modern approach.
Le Wagon learning system is something that stood out for me. It is very well organised, it has loads of helpful learning materials, challenges and of course one-on-one help from teachers, our favourite “tickets”. I loved the most working on our team final projects in the last 3 weeks of the bootcamp. This was the opportunity for us all to see how much we all learnt and the fact that we had required skills and knowledge that allowed us to build a real product was simply great! An extremely rewarding feeling! I still can’t believe what we achieved in only 9 weeks time.

Slogan was correct: Le Wagon changed my life!

I couldn't have asked for more because 9 weeks later I was a developer who also got to develop her product.
After 1 month and a half I found a great job while still working with my Le Wagon teammates on various projects.
Le Wagon is the best thing that happened to me!

The ONLY Coding Bootcamp I would ever Recommend
I've looked at so many bootcamps offered but Le Wagon was the only one that guaranteed a quality experience. I had to consider the costs because bootcamps are not cheap! Choosing to go to LeWagon Milano's Full stack developer program is probably one of the top best three decisions I've made. I didn't know any code or even knew that my computer could do more than just check Facebook and Instagram. Now I'm creating full web applications after Le Wagon's 9 week bootcamp.

Choosing to go to LeWagon Milano's Full stack developer program is probably one of the top best three decisions I've made. I didn't know any code or even knew that my computer could do more than just check Facebook and Instagram. Now I'm creating full web applications after Le Wagon's 9 week bootcamp. I tried out Le Wagon's free seminar's online before applying for the school and I was quite impressed with how the seminar was managed. The program itself was challenging and intensive but I was completely supported every day with prepared tools and with fully available professional teachers. What I love is even after the bootcamp, we still have access to all of our tools and even more extra tools as well as a supported international alumni community to help us embrace and develop our new skills. Le Wagon has really figured out how to teach the mentality of coding as well as give you the necessary skills to apply in real world settings. Above all of that, the teachers and the people I've met in Le Wagon are truly one of a kind. I guess, I wouldn't love coding so much if it wasn't for the experience Le Wagon offered. I just wished I did it sooner! - marco checchiGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MilanVerified by LinkedInJan 15, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

When I came back to Montreal, I was looking for a new challenge and I learned about Le Wagon on the internet. I decided to join the program because I wanted to learn more about web development and I thought it would be a great complement to my bachelor in IT and Finance. From the beginning to the end, I LOVED my experience. The teachers and teacher assistants were incredible and the curriculum was very well structured. I came in with minimal knowledge about programming and before the end; I was able to fully develop a web app. Don't expect to know everything about coding when you are done with the bootcamp, but you will have the skills set to learn a lot more by yourself! Joining Le Wagon is not only joining a bootcamp, it's joining a family! You have access to a lot of knowledge and you can join any alumni, teacher or TA after you are done if you have any questions. Moreover, I strongly recommend doing the career week after the bootcamp, you learn a lot about the to-dos and to-don't, they connect you with different companies to learn more about the job market and I was able to land an internship with one of the companies! I would 100% recommend Le Wagon, it's an amazing experience!
