Recently finished a 10-week fullstack development bootcamp with Le Wagon Berlin.
It was an outstanding experience, It was intense and hard, but eventually super fullfilling!
The teaching (and in general) stuff from the school were amazing, always willing to help always very friendly.

Yes, it's that good…!
The pandemic set many including myself into career cross-roads and thus I decided to see if I could crack the tech industry's eggshell. Despite there being several online courses, many had the issue of answering questions fast enough. With Le Wagon you have multiple experienced teaching assistants to help answer any and all questions via Zoom on the spot. This helps propel progress extremely fast, especially when doing the bootcamp full-time. - AnonymousData Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonOct 08, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Data Science Course
I joined LeWagon during a summer at Uni, as I don't enjoy my degree in electronics and was looking for my calling elsewhere. LeWagon definitely proved supper helpful for this, I got to learn a new codding language from scratch and see examples of data analytics applied in almost every industry. For example, my final project consisted on predicting the direction of bitcoin price! I recommend this experience to anyone looking to change career direction or learn data analytics.

From start to finish of the bootcamp, the support from the team at Le Wagon is nothing short of amazing. They all have an incredible work ethic and are always 110% willing to help you with whatever you want.

Their teachers were always very knowledgeable of the subject they were teaching and always incredibly patient and helpful with all of the students and go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. It is by far the best bootcamp you can find nowadays, and I am recommending it to anybody that wants to start coding. If there's one thing I have to say about them is that I think people should study and prepare a lot more than the provided prep work they give you in order to be better prepared to a REALLY intense 9 weeks. Nonetheless, their infrastructure and tools for helping you learn is amazing. The material is always incredibly up to date, and their alumni network after you finish the course makes this by far the best bootcamp you can choose. As the title says, if you want to start learning how to code, just look for the Le Wagon closest to you and drop by to talk to anybody from their team and I am sure that you will have an amazing experience. - AnonymousGraduate • DubaiJul 01, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

My LeWagon experience in Dubai was amazing! I just came from high school and I had no experience in coding at all. The 9 week Bootcamp is intense but fun at the same time.

The bootcamp was a great experience for me. It’s very well structured, the challenges are really fun, and the knowledge is incredibly practical. The teachers are very supportive and do their best to offer as much guidance as possible without divulging the answers.
It’s also a great place to meet other driven individual. A lot of emphasis is put on teamwork, and students are often helping each other, which truly helped me reinforce my understanding of the concepts.
I strongly recommend this program to people who are driven to learn something new and incredibly useful. It’s only 3 months, and the knowledge you gain is invaluable. - AnonymousGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisApr 01, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Very challenging pedagogy
I was a journalist when I signed up for the Wagon, interested in modern data mining tools.
The Data Science bootcamp is exciting from start to finish. The program is generous and ambitious and the active pedagogy (learning by doing), very effective. Days go fast while confronting and resolving difficulties by ourselves through exercises, with the support of the team.
Working in pairs and in groups on the projects brings a positive energy.

Well, I completed the bootcamp and I can tell you truthfully that it's a truly great and amazing experience. To start, the curriculum is tried-and-true. I definitely stumbled along the way since there's A LOT of information, but was told to "trust the process" and sure enough, it all clicked at one point. The staff and teachers are amazing! Of course, this one will be more dependent on location, but I'm sure the teachers, no matter the location, are great. The alumni network is also vast and helpful. You get to join the alumni Slack channel which has over 10,000 graduates, and has articles, resources, job openings, etc. It's no small price to pay, but it's actually significantly cheaper than other bootcamps I looked up, and everything you get during and after the bootcamp is easily worth it. - AnonymousLondonJan 21, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Marketing Geniuses
Whilst my overall experience with Le Wagon was OK, there are elements that are glossed over during the application process. The prep work and sample lectures were covered by the CEO and COO of Le Wagon - and are throughly engaging and to a very high standard. The course leader, Anne, was also of this standard. I cannot honestly say the standard of the every day teaching is the same. You are led to believe that the teachers are high-standard industry professionals,...Whilst my overall experience with Le Wagon was OK, there are elements that are glossed over during the application process. The prep work and sample lectures were covered by the CEO and COO of Le Wagon - and are throughly engaging and to a very high standard. The course leader, Anne, was also of this standard. I cannot honestly say the standard of the every day teaching is the same. You are led to believe that the teachers are high-standard industry professionals, however many of my teachers had only just completed the bootcamp themselves and were teaching whilst they found another job in the industry. This issue was highlighted further when we came to realise a lot of the teaching assistants had also just completed the bootcamp and was using the role as a stepping stone to tide them over until they found a job in the industry. It's just not really the package that is sold - that the people helping you learn are there because they have a passion for teaching. Many of them are there because they can't find better employment. You quickly come to realise that these are the people you are about to go up against the job market. The TAs are the people who will be applying to the same jobs are you. Many of the TAs were brilliant but many of them could only help you by pulling the answer up on their own screens. A couple of them grew frustrated if I couldn't understand a concept, but it's because they weren't really explaining it. They were reading the answer from their screen. To be honest, I feel very deflated by the whole experience. I entered the bootcamp extremely enthusiastic and honoured to have been accepted onto the course and I have left the bootcamp deflated and as though I have been 'sold a dream.' The Le Wagon reality simply is not the same as what you read in the syllabus. - AnonymousGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonJan 08, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Unless you want to become a teacher or teaching assistant for le wagon, do not waste your money. Most of the teachers are not experienced, they are mostly people that have only just done the bootcamp themselves and therefore only have 9 weeks of coding knowledge. They have to look at the answer on their screen in order to help you with challenges, they are not experienced to actually explain concepts to you correctly.

They have to look at the answer on their screen in order to help you with challenges, they are not experienced to actually explain concepts to you correctly. You will not be learning from experts in the industry. Your experience isn't personalised to you, you do not get any assessment feedback to find out how you are doing during the bootcamp. Some of the teachers are rude and will fob you off and tell you to try and figure out answers for yourself (usually if they don't know how to answer your question). - AnonymousGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonDec 23, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Before joining Le Wagon, I was working in the art market as a client development manager. During summer 2020, I decided to have a career change and learn to code so I applied to Le Wagon's web development course and it was the best decision I could have made. It is incredible to see how much I have learnt in the 9 challenging yet fun weeks and although my career path is now completely different I could not be more excited to see where it takes me.

It is incredible to see how much I have learnt in the 9 challenging yet fun weeks and although my career path is now completely different I could not be more excited to see where it takes me. I was really impressed with the incredible support from the teachers and TA's who helped me in my learning and confidence everyday throughout the course. What I most enjoyed was the final project, where I designed and implemented a web application in a team of 3 for an idea which I had pitched. It was an opportunity to put together all the coding skills we had learnt, to be really creative and 'techy'! I am so grateful to Le Wagon which has formed the basis of my future.
