The full-time course feels like going back to university for a short semester, including meeting the other students who are learning alongside you. Not only do you get a fleshed-out training program that will prepare you to be a real developer, but by the last week the school is connecting you to a network of companies you can apply to and alumni who can give you a hand with job hunting.
On the first day, they help you set up a development environment on your computer. After that, each day you are randomly assigned a another student partner and together you work on coding challenges to complete by the end of the day. They start in Ruby, then introduce SQL so you understand the database, then Rails to begin real web projects. They also teach JavaScript to round out your skillset and show you that all programming languages share commonalities. You also use Heroku to learn a very simple introduction to DevOps if you wish to follow that path.
What I liked a lot was that the Le Wagon teachers will not only teach you the answer to problems you face while developing, but how to search for the answers to similar questions without their help. I found myself able to solve my own issues and troubleshoot after generalizing from advice the teachers gave me. Doug Berkley and Yann Klein were so patient with my sometimes slow progress and gave useful guidance while my team and I built 2 full-fledged web applications. Even if you don't end up using Ruby on Rails, you still learn to generalize the same concepts no matter what tech stack you end up using.
The head of the school, Sylvain Pierre also spent a lot of time on the non-coding side of working in the IT industry. His lectures about giving a pitch for a project, using wireframes and Figma to design an application, how to write a web developer resume were crucial for my job hunting after the bootcamp. The final project pitch night actually turned into real practice for my job interview at the company I ended up joining. I'm proud to say that I'm now a Ruby on Rails backend developer at a fintech startup in Tokyo. Without the training, education, connections, and motivation I got at Le Wagon Tokyo it would not have been possible.

Change your life with Le Wagon
The entire bootcamp, from the first days discovering what coding is to the last day, presenting the MVP of a project we worked on for two weeks, this bootcamp was a real revelation for me.
In only 9 weeks, I was able to discover, learn and apprehend the world of coding (which seems too good to be true in only 9 weeks)!

If you are not an experienced programmer, early in the Bootcamp, you will develop the coding skills and logic needed to design and implement algorithms to carry out the automation of any task.
Once you have acquired codding experience or if you are an experienced programmer in other languages rather than python, during the Bootcamp, you will learn and use the best coding practices to put into production any machine learning model using the latest cloud technologies in Python.
Regardless of your coding experience, you will learn the technologies associated with all machine learning stages, from data extraction to monitoring model performance in real-time to improve it. Obviously, in a few weeks, you will not be able to cover all technologies used in the industry, but the Le Wagon Bootcamp will give you a solid base to be a self-learner so that you can specialize yourself in the area you like the most.
At the end of the program, you will face the real-life experience of designing and implementing a minimum viable product in two weeks, as if you were working in a start-up. You will build on top of what you used in the Bootcamp, but also will have to research and learn new technologies to accomplish your goal. The latter is a skill highly desired in any company. It is important to highlight that the Bootcamp is designed in such a way that you are never left alone at any stage, and you are guided by highly trained teachers who enjoy teaching and sharing their knowledge. - Emma Carballal HaireGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • BerlinAug 10, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Brilliant experience!
I was a translator for many years and felt that machine learning and AI were catching up with me! I decided to jump on the data-wagon and joined the Data Science Bootcamp at Le Wagon Berlin. The teachers were fantastic, they were always ready to help and never made you feel inadequate. It was an intense and truly enjoyable experience! - Benjamin LietFreelance - FS Web Developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BordeauxAug 09, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G ✨
Doing Le Wagon was amazing ! I'm a graphic designer and had no clues in coding before doing the bootcamp. The cursus is really well done, and the overall experience was so intense and stimulating. We were learning new stuff every single day, the challenges were super nice to do and the teaching crew was amazing ! A unique experience that launched my carrier as full-stack developer. I'll never regret it 😄 Thanks Le Wagon ! - Vincent LavilleyGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • NiceAug 08, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Data scientist formation
It was a rich a strong experience to follow Le Wagon's data science formation. The team was constantly around us to supervise, support and help us advance or to change our minds with some beers and activities out of the bootcamp. TLDR ; it was tough, short, intense but totally worth it ! - ManuelFull stack web developer • Web Development Course - Full-time (Remote) • LimaAug 08, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The structure I needed...
I had worked as an accountant for 14 years. I felt completely overwhelmed and didn’t feel motivated to gain mastery, or empowered to be innovative in finding solutions for my company/department. I knew I liked working with technology and wanted a more creative outlet. In my research for potential new career paths/skillsets, I saw web development was in high demand and could possibly be a good fit for my next move. After I broke through the burnout and decided to quit my job, I knew I...I had worked as an accountant for 14 years. I felt completely overwhelmed and didn’t feel motivated to gain mastery, or empowered to be innovative in finding solutions for my company/department. I knew I liked working with technology and wanted a more creative outlet. In my research for potential new career paths/skillsets, I saw web development was in high demand and could possibly be a good fit for my next move. After I broke through the burnout and decided to quit my job, I knew I wanted to travel to Europe for a while to reconnect with the world and myself. Why not attend a web development bootcamp to re-skill at the same time?
It was an intense 9-10 weeks of learning, but it was such a joy to feel like I was learning something new and gratifying to see what I was able to create with just my beginner level of understanding. The structure of the course also helped me to stay focused and effectively move through the coursework that I knew I would struggle with on my own. The instructors and staff are very supportive and you really feel like you are “all in it together” to get to the finish line. Post-bootcamp I have continued to receive support and encouragement from the Brussels team and classmates, and have also found the worldwide alumni to be accessible and helpful when I have reached out for help with coding questions.
I would recommend Le Wagon if you are looking to pivot to web development, gain a base-level understanding of how it can impact your business or business ideas, and join a growing alumni community of motivated and supportive individuals. - HumbertStudent • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • BordeauxAug 03, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Web Dev Bootcamp
I am a business student at King's College, but I always wanted to learn how to code. Le Wagon was the perfect way to learn. The environment is the best I could hope for: the teachers are amazingly attentive, supportive and friendly. The rhythm is intense but you will learn so much so fast that you'll feel really proud when it's over ! As a girl, I felt empowered and included in this tech-environment, would recommend 1000% to everybody !! - Pedro MirandaSoftware Developer / Teacher • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Part-time • Rio de JaneiroJul 29, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
best learning experience I've ever had!
Le Wagon completely changed my life through education. I was able to change careers right after I finished the bootcamp. Not only the curriculum, the teachers and teachers assistant are great but also the whole atmosphere of collaboration over competition that LW brings were a key part of my learning experience.
