Le Wagon delivered 100% to my high expectations. I only heard positive things about it but living it was a much more complete and satisfying experience. It's intense, challenging, and demanding, but also rewarding.

Great experience at Le Wagon
I really liked the teaching environment at Le Wagon. The staff/teachers here are really kind and open-minded, they find a time to help you with your doubts and they really take seriously students mental health (as it's a very tough course). It feels like a safe place to learn and makes you eager to learn.

The staff/teachers here are really kind and open-minded, they find a time to help you with your doubts and they really take seriously students mental health (as it's a very tough course). It feels like a safe place to learn and makes you eager to learn. Personally I feel like the course was too compact, sometimes I felt overwhelmed because everyday we learnt a new different thing from what we learnt the day before. It might have been better if there were more weeks and we could learn more of for example Javascript in two weeks instead of one.
But overall the experience was great and I really recommend studying at Le Wagon. - Fakhriyya RahimovaGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BarcelonaVerified by GitHubMar 20, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Le wagon is the best decision that you can make!
I loved the course structure and challenges,it was pretty intense,but on the other hand it seemed like you manage to absorb everything day by day.I graduated with a complete app and if you told me 3 month ago that i would build an app , i would never believe that.I am very grateful to the teachers and stuff. - karim idboufkerDirector • Graduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonVerified by LinkedInMar 20, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Excellent course - worth the fee
The course provides a high pace, well structured introduction to data science. The mathematical depth is of grad level while programming requirements are reachable without prior experience BUT with sufficient effort. Despite the steep fee, it felt good value for money. This provide an excellent foundation for further development and self teaching either on the job or online. would recommend for people wanting to retrain in datascience. - Abdul Rafi Bin Mohamed SallehReact Developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • SingaporeVerified by LinkedInMar 19, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
A road to second chance and lifetime opportunities
You won’t go wrong with Le Wagon. Le Wagon is one of the best things that ever happened to me. Coming from a background in law enforcement, I was keen to make a mid-career switch to future-proof myself and become a better version of myself by stepping out of my comfort zone. To make this review succinct and helpful to future boot campers, I will address questions that are likely to pop up in your head.

Coming from a background in law enforcement, I was keen to make a mid-career switch to future-proof myself and become a better version of myself by stepping out of my comfort zone. To make this review succinct and helpful to future boot campers, I will address questions that are likely to pop up in your head.
Q1: Why did I choose Le Wagon instead of other bootcamps in Singapore?
To me, Le Wagon won in many aspects. First, it is transparent - you get to see projects created by students week after week on YouTube, which shows that there's nothing to hide. Second, it is competitively priced, especially after government subsidies. Finally, the full-time, classroom-based programme was crucial for me to learn effectively and build lasting friendships with my classmates.
Q2: Did I get a job after graduation?
Yes, I got a job as a ReactJS developer with one of Le Wagon's hiring partners within a week after graduation. This is a testament to the high regard that companies have for Le Wagon.
Q3: Do I feel well-equipped after going through Le Wagon?
Le Wagon teaches Ruby on Rails, which I believe provides a solid foundation to the world of programming without the risk of getting lost. Additionally, Ruby on Rails is the perfect full-stack framework for boot campers, as it allows for easy and quick web application building. The experience of working on projects as a team was invaluable, as it prepared me for working with Agile and Git in my current job.
Q4: What have I gained in perpetuity?
I have gained lifelong friends, access to a strong Le Wagon Slack community, an up-to-date learning platform (Kitt) that remains with me forever, and a network of alumni who are part of the tech industry.
Q5: Has Le Wagon Singapore changed my life?
If it instills a love for coding and helps make your dreams come true, then yes, it has changed my life.

Frustrating, Stressful, Lonely
I could not express how disappointed I am at the very end of this boot camp. Before I paid for this boot camp, I was fascinated by the tons of good comments from different platforms, but after the start of the batch, I was shocked by its way of instruction. Previously I thought the courses were given live online. Still, all the courses regarding different topics are pre-recorded and you have to go through all the materials alone and finish the challenges after the lecture.

Before I paid for this boot camp, I was fascinated by the tons of good comments from different platforms, but after the start of the batch, I was shocked by its way of instruction. Previously I thought the courses were given live online. Still, all the courses regarding different topics are pre-recorded and you have to go through all the materials alone and finish the challenges after the lecture. This way of learning is very unfriendly to beginners and highly depressing and frustrating. Although they claim to have TAs to answer your questions, they are only available for a set period of time, and you have to wait for a long time to get some confusing answers which you could figure out the solutions to by googling (Now thanks to ChatGPT, you could get the answer for free immediately from OpenAI). As for their challenges, some functions and expressions used to solve them are not mentioned at all in the recordings, which means you need to spend extra time searching for the hints. My suggestion for those who consider registering for this program is to learn from those fantastic free resources on the YouTube channel. Those professors and coders from top world universities and tech giants explain the terms and algorithms much better and clearer than those half-amateurs and TAs who are only good at pushing you to finish the challenges. During this boot camp, I got extremely frustrated. Finally, I gave up learning by copying and pasting the code from the answers to deal with urges from those TAs who really don’t care about whether you have really understood and learned something at all. Ironically, right now, I learn happily and gradually, finding my confidence back from the Data Camp from which the cheat sheets given to students by their instructors come, and their cost is only 1/600 of this terrible boot camp. This awful boot camp definitely doesn’t worth that high price. With the help of ChatGPT and Google, I definitely believe there remain many much better choices than this one. Don’t spend your precious time and money on this program to torture yourself. - Catriona BeamishData Science Manager • Graduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonVerified by GitHubMar 08, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Pushing My Limits with Le Wagon
I'm thrilled to share that I recently completed the Le Wagon web development bootcamp from Apr 2022 to Jun 2022, and it was an amazing experience. During the 9-week program, I learned HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript ES6, SQL, git, GitHub, Heroku, and Ruby on Rails. The course was intensive and fast-paced, but thanks to the guidance and support of my patient and knowledgeable teachers, Suan Sen, Ashley, and Rayan, I was able to learn a lot in a short amount of time.

The highlight of the program was the end-of-course project I worked on with my classmates/team. We created an iOS and Android app that helps people with special needs find routes that are easier to navigate and also accessible. Users can review places that are inclusive and disability-friendly, such as restaurants, and even upload pictures of the places they visit. Our app also features a community page where users can share events and interact with one another. It was an incredible experience to build something that could potentially help people in their daily lives.
Overall, I highly recommend the Le Wagon web development bootcamp to anyone interested in coding and web development. The teachers were knowledgeable and passionate, and the hands-on approach to learning made the experience more engaging and rewarding. - Nic RothquelGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MontrealVerified by GitHubMar 04, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Such a great experience
I had the time of my life at Le Wagon in Montreal. The course was so well done, the people were amazing and I am so happy with the skills I gained from it. I cannot recommend it enough! I flew from the US to Montreal for the summer cohort and I got to enjoy the beautiful Montreal summer while learning to code. It was such a special time and I still look upon it with such good memories.

The program's structure is amazing, teachers are highly trained and the didactic material is of the top quality. It is undoubtedly one of the best investments anyone can make in your career.
The course offers a practical and intensive approach to programming learning, allowing students to develop skills in creating complex web applications in just a few weeks. The Hands-On approach ensures that students have the opportunity to immediately apply the concepts learned, which helps to consolidate knowledge and prepare them for real market challenges.
In addition, the community created during the course is a great differential. Students have the opportunity to work on group projects, participate in events and workshops, as well as connect with other developers and entrepreneurs. This all creates an extremely collaborative and enriching environment.
I highly recommend Le Wagon's Ruby On Rails Web Development Bootcamp for those who want to start programming or improve their skills. The course is a great way to dive deep into the software development universe, and learn from the best professionals in the field. The results are visible in a short time, and students have great support throughout the course and then ensuring that they continue to evolve in their careers. - Williams ValeroGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Part-time • MontrealVerified by GitHubMar 02, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing transformative experience!
My name is Williams. I went to the University to study International Commerce when I was 16 years old and it is funny because I worked in that field for 16 years after I graduated when I decided to change career.

I went to the University to study International Commerce when I was 16 years old and it is funny because I worked in that field for 16 years after I graduated when I decided to change career. Originally, I wanted to study Computer Engineering, but I didn't get accepted at the university, so when I found the bootcamp at LeWagon and saw their program I didn’t hesitate to get enrolled. I didn’t have the money to pay for bootcamp nor the bank lended me the money, but I am the type of person that takes obstacles as an invitation to continue insisting until I get what I want. Somehow I got the money to pay for the program and buy the computer! Before the bootcamp the only thing I knew was using vlookup in excel, imagine! But like I say, where there is a limitation or an obstacle I am there, ready to go through it, learn the lesson and move on. What did you like about the bootcamp? I liked its structure (backend, frontend), the content (ruby, ruby on rails, database, CSS, JavaScript, and the project week), the resources available (videos, teachers in each class, slack), the exercises (available 24/7), the frustration (as a little preview for the job market), the interaction between our classmates, the cultural diversity and each one’s background, but what I liked the most was going each Saturday to the campus and seeing my classmates. What are you doing now? I am still studying, but now that I have the structure I was missing I feel confident in the path I am taking. I believe in myself. I go as a turtle, slowly but surely. As I want to continue my journey as a Front End developer I am focusing on JavaScript at the moment. Why did you choose Le Wagon? Because of its origin (created by French engineers and lawyers) and the brand color (red = action). The French are known for being demanding, highly critical, so I knew the bootcamp was going to be of high quality. I also found their group in meetup.com and saw the regularity of activities they were holding, so I trusted in what I saw and didn’t get disappointed. Who would you recommend the bootcamp to? To everybody! As a friend told me before I got enrolled with LeWagon. Today, coding is what excel used to be in the 90’s. The one who knows coding gets the job! It was scary, but the fear won’t disappear until you face it. So I did and so can you. Don’t let your age hold you back. Believe in yourself. You will see that as you get your feet into the program, you will start to see how it works. Obviously the responsibility lies on you. The resources are there, available for you. When there is a will, there is a way, so make your way into programming and trust in LeWagon.
