My experience at Le Wagon London
Before Le Wagon, I worked as a civil engineer for 3+ years at a leading consultant firm in London. However, I always felt there was something out there for me to leverage both my creative and technical skills. I wanted to see quicker results of my work, as civil engineering projects often takes months, if not years between the design and construction stage. Also, the fact that many of my friends work in technology field and were encouraging me to join that world finally forced me to pull...Before Le Wagon, I worked as a civil engineer for 3+ years at a leading consultant firm in London. However, I always felt there was something out there for me to leverage both my creative and technical skills. I wanted to see quicker results of my work, as civil engineering projects often takes months, if not years between the design and construction stage. Also, the fact that many of my friends work in technology field and were encouraging me to join that world finally forced me to pull the trigger on a massive career change.
Why Le Wagon you might ask? One of my friends attended the bootcamp in January 2020 and really enjoyed it. He had zero previous coding knowledge nor any technical experience, but he found it very interesting and exciting. I also researched online and found out that Le Wagon has the most highest rated reviews in London, so it was a no brainer!
I joined Le Wagon full-time web development bootcamp in London in April 2022. During the course, we developed many different skills, from backend (Ruby, Ruby on Rails) to frontend (CSS, HTML, Bootstrap) and met wonderful people by working in a buddy system . All Le Wagon staff, teachers and TAs were always responsive and super helpful and the greatest part was that all of them were also Le Wagon graduates and had gone through the exact same process as us.
Joining Le Wagon was probably the best experience in my life! I highly recommend it and I think they are the best coding bootcamp in London. - Rob FordTechnical Delivery Manager • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonJul 07, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Perfect for transitioning into a tech career
Before joining LeWagon I had recently sold my online retail business and was looking for a fresh challenge and career direction.
I wanted to get into working with tech products, and to learn necessary skills with a group of like-minded people. My overall experience with LeWagon was excellent. My cohort was 30 people and we all supported and encouraged eachother throughout. The learning pace is fast and pushes you to be on your game every day, and plenty of staff are always on hand...Before joining LeWagon I had recently sold my online retail business and was looking for a fresh challenge and career direction.
I wanted to get into working with tech products, and to learn necessary skills with a group of like-minded people. My overall experience with LeWagon was excellent. My cohort was 30 people and we all supported and encouraged eachother throughout. The learning pace is fast and pushes you to be on your game every day, and plenty of staff are always on hand to go over things and guide you. Very quickly we were building our own web apps and I now have a much fully appreciation of tech products.
I'm currently interviewing for product roles and have had feedback from employers that they actively look out for LeWagon graduates as they know they are high quality.
It's worth noting that the support from LeWagon is ongoing after you graduate.. I currently make use of their 'free co-working for life' in the London campus and plan to use them when I travel abroad too. The wider network of alumni (15,000 people and counting) has also proven invaluable for industry contacts and warm introductions for job opportunities.
I'd highly recommend to anybody looking to move into tech. - ChloeWeb Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BerlinJul 06, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing experience with Le Wagon Web Dev bootcamp
After a few years working in Sales and Account Management, I decided to switch careers and turn to roles at the intersection between business and tech. For this, I understood that I needed a solid base in programming and web development. I had heard a lot of positive feedback about Le Wagon from former students and decided to apply.

For this, I understood that I needed a solid base in programming and web development. I had heard a lot of positive feedback about Le Wagon from former students and decided to apply. This was a great decision! I loved the format with classes in the morning and exercises in the afternoon. Teachers and TAs were engaging and always here to help. The courses were extremely well structured to bring students from zero to the complete ability to build web applications from scratch in just 9 weeks. The most exciting part of the bootcamp are the last 3 weeks where students get to work in teams on a project before presenting it at the demo day! There is also an impressive network with over 15k former students and a lot of events and tools to connect newly graduated students with alumni in order to quickly find a job after the bootcamp. - Craig NorfordJunior Technical Consultant • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonJul 05, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Firstly I have to say at I whole heartedly recommend Le Wagon to anyone looking to up skill and deepen their understanding of web development for whatever reason.
Just for context, I chose to do Le Wagon to change careers from being a music teacher and become a web developer as I’d really grown an interest and passion for it through doing basic online courses through lockdown. There were three things I was looking for community, lots of room for growth and learning and great teaching.
The community is incredible, they have fostered an amazing community spirt and energy around learning at Le Wagon thats and almost immediately it starts to feel like home. Obviously my batch was the best batch in Le Wagon history but I’m biased, the bonds that you build with people through this experience are amazing. All of the staff from Boris to the cleaner (and his dog) are super helpful and welcoming. I started the camp having learned the fundamentals of coding previously but from day one I felt like I was being pushed technically and conceptually. As the weeks progress I realised one of the magic things was the Le Wagon was conditioning me to enjoy and pursue constant learning. Each day is a new topic its fast paced and theres a lot of work, but it’s very rewarding. The is an abundance of great learning support the teaching method that Le Wagon have developed is excellent and allowed you to get out of the experience exactly what you put in, so I recommend you put everything into your time at Le Wagon. Each morning there is a lecture on the topic the your challenges will be based on for that day the TA’s are around through the day to help and guide you through them when you meet blockers. Honestly not all teachers and TA are equal some are good some are great, none are bad. Most importantly they are all patient, compassionate, supportive and invested in the success of every Le Wagon student.
Doing Le Wagon is hands down one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life I’ve been fortunate enough to go straight in to a Job through the WeShape Tech Academy and continue to learn, grow and build on the foundation the Le Wagon has given me. - PatrickGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BerlinJul 05, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

At the beggining I was nervous and not sure about it, because it was a big investment and it was scary. After deciding that, I think it's one of the best choices I could have done, and it is definitely worth it.
Teachers & TA's:
They are really experienced and have both technical and teaching skills. They teach in a non traditional way that catches the attention and at the same time they are really eager to help. PRO TIP: Whenever stuck in a bug, or not fully understanding, just ask for help. It makes all the difference. The sooner you do that the more you will learn.
Learning pace:
The pace is quite fast to be honest, however as long as you are fully there during the lectures, it is a possible and doable pace. It keeps you really focused, and learning a new topic every single day.
Learning topics:
We learnt Ruby, Javascript, HTML, SCSS, Bootstrap, PWA, Stimulus, Ruby on Rails, GeoCoder, Using API's, Databases, Github, Heroku, etc.
