Changing careers is not easy and from the very beginning the staff at Le Wagon got me in touch with other musicians who had completed the Web Development bootcamp and all had nothing but good things to say about the program. Now, after being done with the bootcamp, I can reflect on the 9 weeks I have spent there and I could not recommend it more! Teachers and staff are there for you ALL of the time, the education is one of the highest I've ever experienced and the program is build so you maximize your learning. I am really proud to be part of the alumni from Le Wagon!- QianwenGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisMar 31, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing bootcamp to learn data science
I did not expect that I could learn so much about Python and Data Science within only two months.
I am a linguist. Before the bootcamp, I was very interested in data analysis, but I had very limited knowledge on Python and machine learning algorithms. Now, I’m so glad that I can complete an NLP project, from data analysis to data engineering by combining my knowledge on linguistics and data science. It was truly an experience ‘from zero to hero’.

Studying at Le Wagon was pure joy. All teachers and TAs were so nice and very helpful as well as my classmates. I really appreciate the buddy system which changes with each class session allows me to meet everyone, to work with people with diverse background. - Claire FroelichFull Stack Developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MontrealMar 30, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Breaks learning barriers
Le Wagon demolished two walls I encountered when I started self-studying coding: how to combine multiple technologies effectively, and how to collaborate with others. The curated curriculum gives you a solid understanding of how all the parts work together and you're convinced you know it because you build the apps to prove it. I never felt stuck because teaching assistants were always on call for help on the nichest of my very niche problems.

The curated curriculum gives you a solid understanding of how all the parts work together and you're convinced you know it because you build the apps to prove it. I never felt stuck because teaching assistants were always on call for help on the nichest of my very niche problems. But the greatest part of Le Wagon is that it's all about collaboration from day one. You see how others code via the buddy system and daily livecode sessions, you become set up and intimately familiar with tools like GitHub and Figma for collaborating with anyone anywhere, and as the cherry on top you learn techniques to work in a team to design, build and pitch two apps. Plus the whole thing is just plain fun. We were eager to come in each day to the point people always showed up early for pre-lecture coffee and chat, and we did a fair amount of celebrating together regularly outside camp. Besides coding skills I've come out the other end with dear friendships. Camp's over now but not really thanks to the lifetime global alumni chat membership I'm connected to active Le Wagon grads around the world for continued learning and networking. Le Wagon offers a package you won't find in a Google search: a global community for life that knows what everyone's been through, and the knowledge and confidence and support to land your dream job and continue learning. The school is affordable for what it offers and I managed to pay for the entire tuition and more with my first freelance gig. - Hyun Jong SongGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • MontrealMar 29, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Through this explosive amount of study in a short period of time, I wanted to accumulate knowledge necessary for practical work, and finally have the ability to change career.
Studying every day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. for 9 weeks was tough but I could see how much I've learned after completing daily lectures and challenges. While carrying out the final project in teams in the last two weeks, I was quite surprised that we could actually build a product with our knowledge acquired in only 2 months. Also, learning how to cooperate in a team of coders working on a project was a good experience.
Finally, all staff members, teachers and colleagues were amazing and helpful. They motivated me a lot. - MagaliData Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisMar 28, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I loved everything about it and even when we had to switch on remote after 4 weeks, we didn’t loose anything about the quality of teaching. Teachers and TA’s were amazing and the format or the courses very stimulating.
I did the data science bootcamp right after and I am still amazed of everything we achieved in only 9 weeks.
In addiction to all the technical skills, we also learnt to work as a team on our final projects.
Both bootcamps have exceeded my expectations, thanks Le Wagon for these experiences ! - Ben SkingsleyGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonMar 27, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I had previously been working in salesy roles for startups but I wasn't loving it and the pandemic meant I had to reassess things career wise. I delved a little into coding and found that I enjoyed it but learning in the structure of a course would probably be the best way forward. When I looked into what was out there all I ever heard was glowing recommendations for Le Wagon and they really lived up to the expectations! I still can't quite fathom just how much I've learned in the space of 9 weeks and not only how well prepared I feel for a career in tech but also how much support and relief I feel from having the Le Wagon community to lean on. I would recommend learning to code to anyone now as I feel it is such a vital skill to have in the 21st century and I can comfortably say I think learning it with Le Wagon is one of the best ways to do so. If you're still on the fence about coding or the bootcamp I would really recommend attending any of Le Wagon's many free events, they're super fun and give you a really good taste of what the community and course is like! - François FAUVELFullStack Web Dev.

Full-stack Web Development
I super recommend the Le Wagon web development course! The Full-time program was a bit intense but I enjoyed it a lot. Before Le Wagon, I was doing a lot of online courses, but I had no idea how to start building a web application. By the end of the Bootcamp, I was able to deploy the app we built from scratch. We had the experience working as a team to understand how is the real world working as a programmer. - CharlotteFull Stack Web Developper • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisMar 19, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I was deciding between 3-4 different bootcamps and I am so happy I ended up going down the Le Wagon path. The team brings a unique global perspective to software development, teaching, and future career path mapping that is unmatched in my opinion.
We spent more time focusing on the fundamentals of Ruby, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, and SQL which I found to be more beneficial than any specific framework as these frameworks can change over time. I was also very impressed that there were so many members of the staff covering topics each week vs. one or two teachers. It made for a very refreshing teaching experience. To close out the bootcamp, Le Wagon also offers a Careers Week where they give you advice on technical interviewing, CVs, etc. and connect you with their massive alumni network across the world.
Overall, I highly recommend Le Wagon if you are deciding between bootcamp courses!
