Coming from a non-technical background, I can confirm that LW's mission statement to "teach coding to creative minds" is true. During my bootcamp, I learned core programming concepts, computational thinking, problem solving and learning how to self-learn. On the product side, I walked away with the ability to map out user personas, create user stories, MVPs, foundational design skills, and once again how to continue building on what I learned during those 10-11 weeks.

On the product side, I walked away with the ability to map out user personas, create user stories, MVPs, foundational design skills, and once again how to continue building on what I learned during those 10-11 weeks. It is as intensive as they tell you, so whatever preparation you have in mind, do twice as much. Luckily, you have a solid group of peers to support you on your journey and lifetime access to every subject you'll learn in case you want to revisit it. The teachers, TAs and Le Wagon community and alumni are what make this program worth it. You'll walk away with new skills, friends and a community you can always lean on.- CloéFreelance • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MontrealSep 16, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great bootcamp and great teachers!
Before joining Le Wagon Web dev bootcamp I used to work as a tech recruiter. I worked in different companies over the last 4 years, mainly in VFX and in IT consulting. But I always felt like I was missing technical skills for my daily job. Before deciding to enroll in the bootcamp I had already done a few classes online, which I believe help me catch on concepts faster the first couple of weeks. But it was definitely not a requirement.

Before deciding to enroll in the bootcamp I had already done a few classes online, which I believe help me catch on concepts faster the first couple of weeks. But it was definitely not a requirement. The entire bootcamp is so well done that you learn new concepts every day but have all the tools and support to understand and use them. I was impressed with how structured the program was. Each day we had classes, challenges, live code, and flashcards, which gave us a strong foundation, to build on from. The entire team at Le Wagon Montreal was really nice and supportive, and they created a great learning environment. Coming out of the Le Wagon I think I have a good foundation to become a web developer and a great structure to keep learning and improve my skills. - Patrick CampbellGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • TokyoSep 14, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Enjoyable Exhaustion
I had a great time joining this bootcamp. I was a bit worried because I'm closer to 40 than 30 and wasn't sure if I would fit in. After getting over initial nerves I can honestly say age didn't matter. The support the teachers and staff gave during the camp was amazing. The learning atmosphere was both challenging and fun. I think that if you have the time, energy and ability to learn this course will be great for you. - AgnieszkaGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • OsloSep 14, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great learning and social experience
Before joining Le Wagon Oslo I used to work in tourism, hospitality, and translation, but I felt that the skills I gained at the university were not enough to compete in the job market. I heard about Le Wagon from a friend who managed to change her career and find a job as a software developer after finishing the bootcamp, so I decided to try myself in coding as well.

I heard about Le Wagon from a friend who managed to change her career and find a job as a software developer after finishing the bootcamp, so I decided to try myself in coding as well.
Le Wagon offers 9 weeks full-time web development course (or 24 weeks part-time course) that covers among others Git and GitHub, Ruby, SQL, HTML & CSS, JavaScript and Ruby on Rails. You can learn both the front-end and the back-end, which allows you to create the whole web app from scratch, instead of focusing only on one aspect of it. Many of my fellow students were interested in coding for some time before the course (but many were completely new to it as well), but they didn't know how to use the skills they have gained from different online courses and tutorials. And this is a great thing about Le Wagon's program: it leads you from the process of building software from A to Z, helping to put together everything you learned during the course and upfront. Once you are done with the bootcamp you have a great base to either start at the junior position right away or continue with self-teaching without feeling lost and overwhelmed.
Another important aspect of the Le Wagon program is the community. Bootcamp is not only a learning adventure but also a social experience that lasts even when the bootcamp is over. Being part of a huge (5000+) community of wagoners means that there is always someone you can ask for help, share job offers and experiences, and simply make good friends.
It is not an easy course, but if you are dedicated and hard-working it is worth it.

Le Wagon is a special adventure, extraordinarily rich on learning the technique to code in the right way by asking the right questions from the start. You do not necessarily need to come at the beginning with a solid technical background or from a specific sector to understand the basics.

You do not necessarily need to come at the beginning with a solid technical background or from a specific sector to understand the basics. Once you understand the basics of coding, the learning curve is exponential. From my perspective, I did not expect to find a training that could give me such in-depth knowledge of web development and all the other aspects that surround it. In addition, you also learn to code in teams straight from the start, which is great to progress and not to feel overwhelmed. The final projects, which are the cherry on the cake after spending several months of coding is the best way to materialize all the knowledge learned during the bootcamp. Hats off to the staff, teachers, and teachers’ assistants for the remarkable work they have done all along the bootcamp! - dwissinkGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisAug 27, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

There would lots to say about the benefits brought by getting hands-on coding experience for a non-developer like me. De-constructing the IT-department or tech-team divide is just essential in times where every company should embrace tech and be agile in its implementation.
What stroke me was the quality of teaching and all-round experience of the bootcamp. Learning a full development framework bottom-up, back-front end coding languages, working on a project as a team using Github and finally, wrapping it all up by taking a problem, building a product and pitching it in the final two week run. Many of the classes taught me skills and know-how I had seen from afar before. Le Wagon has allowed me to demystify web-development, understand some of the stress factors when dealing or selling to developers and how nimble startups can beat large and wealthy corporates on innovation. In addition to LeWagon methodology, tools and teachers, LeWagon alumni network, community and career services are a valuable source of future contacts and opportunities of all sorts.
I highly recommend the course for those working with tech teams (eg Product/Project managers, entrepreneurs or tech sales), interested to get hands-on experience and a better understanding of the tech "black-box". - YananGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Part-time • ParisAug 19, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Having done hours of research for the best program; Le-Wagon kept popping up nearly everywhere on the internet with raving 5 star reviews. I was really cautious to spend money on the program as I am a conservative spender, however my ROI(return on investment) has already payed me back only a few months out of the program. The 9 weeks were super jam-packed with so much to remember; however I still have access to all the content and more through the Le-Wagon learning platform. My only regret is that I didn’t take the course years ago! Im now building applications I have always wanted to do. A big thanks to Le-Wagon and the amazing instructors for the amazing lectures, atmosphere and 101 help to advance my learning to code. I would recommend anyone who desires to learn to code and change their life to lean into Le-Wagon as it was the best education and experience money could buy. - DanyStudent • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisAug 14, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I embarked in February 2020 for six months of training, which at the beginning seemed crazy and very complicated to manage between my full time job (recruitment consultant) and the courses. But as we completed assignments one after another, I got really invested and time went by very quickly. When we reached ¾ of the training, we had to design an Airbnb-like rental site. This is where one really puts into practice all the things he learnt and starts to feel invincible (haha).
It was a very interesting experience.
I learnt a lot of skills and developed many new ideas ! I really encourage people who want to retrain, start a project or just learn new things to join Le Wagon because it’s truly a beautiful adventure. - Hughes StollsteinerGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisAug 04, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I was impressed by the cursus : I learnt fast and intensively because i was passionate. I loved that we were never left alone, always working with other students, and everyday with a new « buddy ». Even better, we are learning useful and trendy languages, that gives a value to our skills on the market. The network of alumni and partners is very powerful in finding a job.In my opinion, this is the perfect bootcamp to learn code, that’s why i recommend Le Wagon.
