Loved Le Wagon !! Not only the program seems to be excellent but also I HAD A BLAST. Loved everything. Teachers are passionate, staff are literally the kindest person you can meet, and everything is done so you have the best experience possible. 5/5 would do it again.- Coralie#401 • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisJul 31, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing experience 😻
I was a hotel receptionist and I have been thinking about a career change and learning code for a while.

The courses are very clear, and everything you learn has a reason to be there and helps you to have the right mindset. All the teaching staff is always available to explain things, help you think and push you towards the right direction, you can feel they are very attentive and care about your evolution and your wellbeing. They are with you every step of the way and at the end of the bootcamp you feel confident about your future and being able to start your new career.There is also a huge social dimension and you meet a lot of amazing people through multiple events (even though we were at home the 6 first week of the bootcamp they had amazing ideas to help us know each other)I am very proud to be part of the Wagon community and can only recommend it :) - ArieGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MelbourneJul 30, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I was part of the first remote batch at Le wagon.

The teachers are extremely competent, and also take a lot of time to thoroughly explain concepts and help you through the challenges of the day (they'll also make themselves available on weekend by request!). From someone who had zero coding experience, after 9 weeks I feel like I’m on the way to being a constructive member of any future web development team or startup. - FrancoisStudent • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisJul 29, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I particularly loved the projects weeks in which you are faced with tough time constraints for ambitious team projects, a real adrenaline booster. I came looking for skills to complement future projects and came out with a new passion. Coding is now my main activity and thanks to Le Wagon and it’s resources I am still able to learn new skills daily. I highly highly recommend !

After learning SQL online, I had the opportunity to move to a Data Analyst position. It was a great experience which gave me even more the willingness to learn coding in a proper environment.
I chose Le Wagon Paris because of the product-oriented program, which also includes team work on projects, which was in my opinion closer to professional life than an individual training.
Whereas the training took place during lockdown, I was very happy with my choice. The teachers' team is careful and the training itself is intense and has high-standard. The staff also tried its best to offer opportunities to relate to other classmates with Zoom parties and other activities !
In a few words, an intense and qualitative experience, and great people met ! - VanditaWeb Development Bootcamp - Full-time • SingaporeJul 29, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Don't pass this up!
My 9 weeks with Le Wagon was really one of the busiest and most exciting periods of my life. This is simply because of how much we were learning and implementing each and every week. We’d learn, create, break, and fix things all in a day’s work!

The course took place in the midst of a pandemic, so we had to attend remotely. I was a bit hesitant at first because I didn’t want it to feel like just another Codecademy course. My biggest surprise, though, was how smoothly everything ran despite the unexpected nature of COVID and Le Wagon not having much time to make their whole curriculum “remote-friendly”. I didn’t really feel like I was missing out on anything just because I couldn’t go to their campus.
This also speaks volumes to how hands-on the teaching team is, as well as how much interaction they encourage between students. You never really feel alone during the day, which is great because you never get stuck on a problem for very long either!
The level of productivity you get used to during the course is sky-high, so even after it’s over, you find yourself looking for projects or ways to continue coding even in your free time. And Le Wagon definitely gives you enough resources to support your post-wagon journey.
I’d say if you’re deciding whether to do the course, you should just go ahead and do it. I don’t regret doing it at all, and I know I would be kicking myself if I missed it! - Alexander EklundStudent • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BaliJul 29, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
My LeWagon Bali Experience
I completed my 9 week full stack bootcamp in Bali, just over a week ago. And as I let the past few months sink in, I’m really amazed, in myself, how much you can learn in such a short period of time. But let me start from the beginning: last year, in June, 2019, I found myself graduated from a international music college in Thailand, working part time teaching English and part time playing music in bars and restaurants in Bangkok.

And as I let the past few months sink in, I’m really amazed, in myself, how much you can learn in such a short period of time. But let me start from the beginning: last year, in June, 2019, I found myself graduated from a international music college in Thailand, working part time teaching English and part time playing music in bars and restaurants in Bangkok. My keyboard player, an American LeWagon alumni, and former teacher in LeWagon, Milano, was also living in Bangkok working as a rails developer from home as his day job. He used to be finishing up work as I’d come over to his place to practice, and I always thought that whatever he was doing on his computer looked like total hieroglyphics to me and coding was not something I’d ever thought I'd be able to do, I mean, I failed my Intro to Math my junior year three times. But at the same time I was envious of the lifestyle and being able to earn a good salary working from home, so I started asking questions. My buddy told me right away that I could totally do it too, and gave me the Ruby track on Codecademy to check out. And basically said that do this and if you feel like this is something you could work with then just join LeWagon. I had been asking some people who, well let’s just say are kind of self-proclaimed experts of a lot, saying “Nobody uses Ruby anymore, React is the new thing”, and “You can learn all that stuff on Udemy for way less money”. But I stuck with my buddies advice and signed up for LeWagon. I pushed the date forward a couple of times, and was set to start the bootcamp in Bali, in March 2020. And then covid happened, but I had postponed my bootcamp enough times so when LeWagon offered to do the batch online I decided to join anyway.
The bootcamp started with Ruby, and although we started from the very beginning the exercises always found a way to challenge you and help you grow as a programmer. Those first two weeks we got thrown into a world of logic in Ruby and Object Oriented Programming that were mind-boggling and really challenging, but also satisfying at the same time when you finally understand the flow and you’re able to do it yourself using some kind of refernce, it feels like all that energy spent solving a bug in your code, you immediately get back when you solve it. Moves on to more front-end based phase and also a week of JavaScript.
The bootcamp is fast paced, the amount of concepts you learn in a short period of time can will feel a bit overwhelming, but I recommend just trust the process, and as long as you can understand the big picture, most things will make sense when you enter the world of Rails during the last month of the bootcamp. All that grueling logic you fought so hard with during OOP week is going to be made much simpler (in theory), but ultimately yes, and you’ll also finally see how the front-end and the back-end comes together and you’ll be able to create real apps.
The last two weeks are dedicated to final projects. I joined my batch mate Taylor who came up with idea for the app ‘UpHold’ and two others, and set out to build an app that let’s you report your encounters with the police, designed to create accountability and uphold the police to a higher standard. I’m really happy that I did the bootcamp, as I continue to learn React I’m constantly reminded of how helpful a good foundation in Ruby/Rails is helping me understand these new concepts. The program is overall really well designed, the teachers are total pros at what they do, and you can really feel that they love to see you succeed and they work tirelessly to make that happen. Although I haven’t personally used this superpower yet, but the LeWagon slack community seems really helpful and you feel like you’re not alone in this even after the bootcamp. Best of luck to all you other aspiring developers out there. - LucieGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisJul 28, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Le wagon, Paris
After my accounting degree, I decided to join the wagon bootcamp to learn how to code. I watched several demo-days and saw the quality of the level obtained in just 9 weeks. I am very satisfied with the level that I acquired when I left the bootcamp, and the educational content that I still use today. The teachers are really involved in our learning throughout the training and Le Wagon community is also very valuable. - Itamar PereiraFull-stack developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • Rio de JaneiroJul 23, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Overall I am very happy with the course and the curriculum and the way it is taught and I highly recommend Le Wagon. They are the best for a reason I went into the course with zero coding experience and now I feel like I could tackle any project or work in any tech field.
