Amazing experience
It's unbelievable how the Wagon's courses structure is efficient.
Many of us, as students, were beginners before starting the bootcamp but, after few weeks, we were able to create a functional application from A to Z. We had the opportunity to learn several types of languages and therefore to build a strong basic culture to continue our journey in the world of tech.

What Le Wagon is remarkably good at is setting an aim for the student - daily, weekly, monthly - and making her/him get there in a pedagogical and motivating way. It’s quite a lifting and super rewarding feeling to believe there’s no way a project or idea can be realised and finishing the day with that exact thing and 4 different things done. Making the ‘Le Wagon environment’ more serious would take a lot of the positivity and fun while making it laxer would turn it into a circus school. It’s in the sweet spot.
An absolute recommendation for everyone seeking to understand the buttons we click every day. - Patrícia NunesFlight Attendant • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LisbonJul 29, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Amazing 9-week Program
Overall very good experience for someone coming in with zero working experience in development.
ProsGood team projects, easy to follow curriculum that gets you ready to work individually.
ConsSome people who were a little less quick to catch-up got lost on some concepts, but everyone got up to speed eventually. - MaximGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BerlinJul 27, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

With a background in finance and an affinity for startups, it was my intention to learn how to code for quite some time. After extensive research, I chose the Le Wagon coding Bootcamp.
What I liked most about the Bootcamp was that besides the frontend stack you also learn 2 programming languages (Ruby and JavaScript - the first one is especially great for fast prototyping), that the program is very international, and that the curriculum is well thought out and builds on what you have previously learned. During the 9 weeks, no one was left behind and every single student was taken care of. This was especially ensured by a buddy system and teacher support (e.g. if you had questions about learned concepts or exercises).
The highlights of the program are the project weeks, where the gained skills can be applied by building 2 web applications. There are basically no limits (only the time factor). In week 1 we built a platform to book technical support if someone is struggling with their code, and in weeks 2 and 3 (final project) we built a surfer app that gives a recommendation for surf spots based on current weather data and the experience level of the user.
The environment is very motivating and at the same time, you get to know many new and interesting people. I can recommend the program to anyone who wants to learn serious programming and at the same time quickly get into the world of web development. - Daniil VolfData Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • BerlinJul 27, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Although i had basic understanding of programming and technologies around data i always wanted to dive deeper into this topic. There are many courses and bootcamps for Data Science out there, but i decided to go with Le Wagon, because it seemed to be an intense program. After the bootcamp i can say that it was the right desicion, because the Le Wagon Bootcamp has a great concept that makes it stand out from other courses.
Here are 3 things that are especially worthy to be highlighted:
Mass, quality, availability of material:
Your first impression is probably gonna be, that the pace is way to high, but that's the goal. You go through a ton of material every day and its sometimes hard to cath up.
Every topic will be introduced through a live lecture. But there is also a possibility to watch a prerecorded lesson and take a look into a script later. If the pace was to fast or something wasn't clear enough you can have a look at it in the future, because all the material will be availible for you even after the bootcamp.
Teaching concept and community:
Bacause the topics are new every single day it's pretty tough to get through the challenges without any help. So you have to collaborate. Challenges are designed that you solve them in collaboration with the teachers and other students and of course with the use of stackoverflow & co. There is also a lot of communication on the slack channels, so you really get to know many people and benifit from the huge international community.
The final project:
At the end of your bootcamp you can pitch you own project or join a project of other students. In two weeks (with support from teachers) you, as group of 4 students, will develop and deploy your own web application... and thats impressive.
PRO
Variety and depth of Data Science Topics. You get a great overview of the most important concepts of data Science, because of the high pace you can not really focus to much on one specific thing but you always have the oppertunity to look it up after the bootcamp, because all the lectures and exercises are still availible for you after the bootcamp.
CONTRA
If you do not like to be challenged and face adversity, bootcamp is probably not the right thing for you. If you do not have a technical background and no previous programming experience it can be a pretty rough experience for you on some days. But if you feel motivated, go for it nonetheless. Frustration management is a very important skill, especially in IT. - Saikat BGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Part-time • SingaporeJul 26, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Trying to condense a 24-week bootcamp journey into a 7-minute read might be as tough as the bootcamp itself, but let me try.
About me. I am a techie, with a fairly long “been there, done that” career in the industry. And in the autumn of 2020 (autumn in Singapore?

About me. I am a techie, with a fairly long “been there, done that” career in the industry. And in the autumn of 2020 (autumn in Singapore? Use your imagination, I say) I was at the peak of my anxiety and general unhappiness with being the rat on the wheel, and the wheel was getting more slippery with each passing year! It was then that I decided to take the plunge and do the Le Wagon bootcamp. I was very clear about WHY I was doing it - my driver was a creative itch to build new things and use software skills to build them. I was also clear about WHY NOT: for me, the pull wasn’t to get a new job or build a new career - if those were to happen, well and good, but I wouldn’t fret if they didn’t happen, yet I could still walk away with new knowledge and skills that I could tinker with and use to keep me rejuvenated and excited about my life.
Enough about me. About the bootcamp and my ride, from here.
First lesson learnt: it pays to do the pre-course prep work well. I had initially underestimated the load and complexity of this piece, and had to ramp up exponentially before the selection interview with lead instructor Miguel. Frankly, I wasn’t happy with how I fared at that interview, but luckily, Miguel was generally ok with my skill and knowledge level, and I got through.
I chose the part-time program that stretches over 24 weeks. Obvious reasons: I had to balance across the demands of a regular day job and my family. The intensity of a 9-week stint of back-to-back sessions looked intimidating to me, so I chose the part-time course - and it worked for me.
I must admit that at the start of the bootcamp, it felt a bit strange when the classroom sessions seemed to be so “light” on theory, and the constant nudge to work on the challenge exercises. My initial reaction was hey, how can I do this when I haven’t fully grasped the theory? Adapting to this learning-by-doing regimen needed me to double down on paying close attention to and understanding the recorded videos that we were expected to see before each classroom session. At night, I started doing the exercises showcased in each recorded video lesson, before starting on the classroom session challenges. I focused on getting each flash card answer right, even if it took multiple attempts. I realized I had become rusty at retention, and had to ramp up on repetition and practice. After about 3-4 weeks of doing this, I got much better at learning by doing and I got to a point where I was able to complete some of the challenges before the next day’s session started. Hard, bull-headed effort was finally paying off. And I realized that familiarity breeds other things besides contempt and children: self-confidence which then leads to wanting to do more.
Another thing I thoroughly enjoyed about the bootcamp was the challenge exercises - their variety: a mix of brain-teasers, games and real-life needs - they were never boring.
End-of-course project. I started with a deja vu feeling - am I ready to do this yet? And at the end of the project, I realize now that there two crucial factors that made us succeed and achieve what we set out to build and built in 14 days:
(a) a very sensible and pragmatic assessment by our teachers, of the products we pitched to build, driving a fine balance between creating new, interesting value propositions while not trying to go to Mars in 14 days - followed through with continuous mentoring, as well as refinement and critique of each product as it took shape; and
(b) having a framework to follow in actually doing the project, which drew upon a broad canvas of tools and methodologies; this made teamwork and planning easier and more effective, leading to productive, rapid builds in a controlled, coordinated manner. This was particularly important during the weeks where COVID restrictions meant everyone working remotely, without the natural benefits of “common ground” classroom sessions.
Well, that’s the story of the ride, in a nutshell. Not only did we all survive, but we emerged with new wings to fly, perhaps eventually to soar. I realized that each one of us students had a different reason to do this bootcamp - some came to self-actualize, some to improve upon what they were already doing, some to change careers and some to gain first-hand knowledge akin to learning “what goes on inside a kitchen before opening a restaurant”. I believe that our bootcamp education satisfied each of those drivers with its unique mix of content, method and teaching.
For those who've stayed this far for the rolling credits - I take this opportunity to thank my teachers Miguel, Prima, Grace, Ann and the all-round support from Liana before, during and after the bootcamp. I could write a whole chapter on how great each of them are. But I will suffice it to say thank you, and I hope that I can live up to the trust and confidence that they have shown in all of us. - ValerieJunior Backend Developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MunichJul 26, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
