A very short answer to “How was the bootcamp?” is — “It was amazing!” It really is one of the best taught processes I have been through. Check my story for a very thorough review, and to gain some insights of what to consider when choosing a bootcamp.

Best bootcamp to learn coding
I was always passionate about technology and after graduating a law masters degree in IT law, I decided to join Le Wagon Bootcamp in London. I was not disappointed from the super helpful TAs to how the course was structured, I’m fully happy with my decision. During 9 intense weeks I managed to grasp the basic knowledge and skills to be able to work on projects by myself, after completing a fully-working website, Fitmapp, with a team of 2 other people. - Wince S.Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MontrealSep 29, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Absolutely an amazing experience!

I found Le Wagon after a serious of research and have spoken to a friend who completed her bootcamp with Le Wagon Barcelona and was super happy about her experience. I like that Le Wagon compared to other bootcamps available, are more focused on building the foundations of create an end product. This really helps for people like myself who have zero tech knowledge and background and be able to see what I would be able to build during and after the bootcamp. Additionally, all of the staff at Le Wagon Montreal are extremely approachable, helpful and really care for the students to ensure that its a right fit for you. I would highly recommend Le Wagon if anyone is every considering doing a bootcamp. - SamirStudent • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • TokyoSep 29, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

I have been asked to review my experience at Le Wagon Tokyo and it is with pleasure that I do so.
I would like to share here why I decided to join this Bootcamp, what I gained from it and how I would like to use these new skills.
A little self-introduction, I am french, 34 y.o living in Tokyo for 10 years leading one of the largest French company to grow in Asia.
I had a comfortable situation, good salary, respect and consideration from my peers. However, I felt that my experience reached a limit, I got asked to get back to France to become a director and settle down there.
I refused and wanted another challenge.
I navigated in the world of tech, digital, and innovation for a long time, but haven't really taken time or effort to dedicate myself to learning what it means to be in the tech side of the force.
I thought I knew. If you read this and you are not a developer, you think you know too... but trust me... you don't.
Why?
Joining Le Wagon, my aim wasn't to become a full-time developer but to be part of the crew and understand better the digital world. Speaking the same language and mostly being able to prototype my tech ideas.
In short, LW is a well-structured program, complete and product-oriented which I enjoyed - particularly at the end of the program, where it becomes more real, visual, usable. But I won't lie, it wasn't easy, I struggled, a lot and for "once" I wasn't the best / smartest in the room. I took my pride, put it on the side, got more humble, hanged on, and most of all trusted the process.
The program
You have to prep BEFORE the Bootcamp. It's really important to decide at least 1 month prior.
Don't worry, teachers are great and will take it step by step. But I would advise to start get familiar with some notions earlier to be aware of the vocabulary and concepts.
You know - returning an array- calling a method?....
Le Wagon starts from the basics - reviewing all aspects of Ruby and how things works. How it works and why.
you'll team up with someone different every day to do the exercises to support you and learn teamwork. You'll learn back end - front end - and finally how frameworks works.
RUBY - JS - SQL - HTML - CSS - REACT you'll learn a lot of different languages. No worries, you'll have to handle them because you'll have some projects/products to work on and to pitch to the world :)
Teacher are Amazing, Dedicated and will give all they got to help you 1 - Will question you to make you understand by yourself how to realize what you have in mind 2- Help you out if too complicated 3 - Make you feel like an idiot when you actually are one and got the answer all by yourself from the beginning... -You just needed someone to make you realize that you were actually an idiot :) and that's ok!:)
$
It is a money and time investment!
So it means that you need to dedicate yourself to it for the whole Bootcamp. Don't take it lightly.
If you wanna change your career or create something new, you got a whole organization and network which can make your ideas up and running for real. Use this time to try/craft your ideas.
Overall
You will become a product-oriented Fullstack dev with a network of 8000+ alumni.
I learned a lot thanks to Le Wagon. And I know that I am capable of releasing a Webapp as of today.
I feel that I'll be able to use these skills either in the corp world and in my future start up projects. It's a door a whole new world, one that you'll be able to eat bit by byte. - GeorgeGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonSep 23, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Data Science Bootcamp
Before the Bootcamp, I had spent the last ten months seeking employment in the financial services industry with fairly little success and then just as I began to make progress in securing a grad scheme, a global pandemic took hold and life was put on hold. However, as the saying goes: "every cloud has a silver lining", in my case this disruption to my post-uni-career-launch allowed for a reassessment of my goals and ambitions.

However, as the saying goes: "every cloud has a silver lining", in my case this disruption to my post-uni-career-launch allowed for a reassessment of my goals and ambitions. I had, for a long time been fascinated with the application of coding and the growing importance of data but always considered them supplementary skills to a professional financial qualification. After months of research and talking with people, it's now very clear that the reality is quite the opposite! I had heard about Le Wagon through a family friend and looked into joining as early as February but the only course on offer was the Web Development one and although the application of web development is cool and a useful skill I wasn't sure it was quite for me given that my interests lean more heavily on data analytics and then Le Wagon London launched its Data Science Bootcamp - the timing was perfect. The Bootcamp itself was incredibly intensive from before the get-go with forty hours of prep-work but it set the tone nicely for the nine-weeks of hard-work!
I'll admit it, I was nervous to see if the Bootcamp could be as successful as previous batches given the current social climate with social distance enforcement but the teaching staff absolutely smashed it and the learning experience was fantastic and fluent. Despite being thrown in the deep-end from Day 1, the TA's did a great job and showed great patience, going slowly where required, through every ticket raised during the daily live challenges and adequately answering or referring questions.
My favourite part of the Bootcamp has to be the final project - for mine, my team used machine learning algorithms to accurately predict the results of premier league football matches, solely relying on the data we collected rather than any existing domain knowledge. The project was largely a success and combined almost everything we had covered in the 7 weeks before as well as more, which is likely an excellent reflection of what's to come in my forthcoming career as a data scientist. - Suzanweb developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • Mexico CitySep 22, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

You can trust them with closed eyes !
A very rich experience and really intense : it's incredible how many things you can learn and assimilate in just 2 months. We know that we still have to work a lot to become a good developer but that's a great base on which we can rely on today. The staff is friendly and trying hard every time to make students become more confident on themselves. I'm very happy about Le Wagon bootcamp and do not regret a single second of having chosen this training. - SimonWeb Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MontrealSep 22, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Those 9 weeks are intense and they challenge your intelligence and resilience, but the amount of information you learn is unbelievable! The program is so well built from day 1 and until you present your final project. The teachers are absolutely top-notch, world-class educators, and the environment is very friendly and supportive. I applied for a job that I thought was a very long shot while I was at le Wagon, and I got it! It was a huge step up in my career, and the main reason I was chosen over other candidates was my (fairly new) knowledge in technology. I started the new job a week after I finished at le Wagon.

It was like a second family, and hope to keep in touch with this great network of people! At the end of the course, my team and I built a robust and user-friendly web application from scratch. From user requirement analysis, design, implementation to deployment on Heroku, using Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, Git/GitHub, Trello, Agile mindset, Figma. The nine weeks were really intensive and challenging but also exciting and a very rewarding experience, because it was not only about shipping the final product and learning all daily aspect of development life, but also all recommendations and support we got from the personal and teachers that makes us stand out of the crowd. I would recommend Le Wagon to anyone who wishes to learn in-demand skills in IT and take their career to the next level. It is definitely a great experience.
