I chose LeWagon because it is the biggest boot camp out there and i must say that I’m so happy I did this and chose LW. The setup, the teachers and the learning environment was really perfect and encouraging each and everyone to develop at their own pace.
I had hoped to get a bit more out of the career week, but that said it was exactly where corona virus had hit us so LW has to quickly schedule some digital career week events.- Mark MullerCountry Manager • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BaliApr 28, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Web Development at Lewagon Bali
I have been part of the startup community for almost 5 years, working with companies in Paris, Berlin, and London. For over 4 years, I have been employed as a recruiter for ACELR8, a Recruitment-as-a-Service company specialised in scaling startups.

For over 4 years, I have been employed as a recruiter for ACELR8, a Recruitment-as-a-Service company specialised in scaling startups. There, I gained exposure to Software engineering, it being a big part of our mission to find the very best engineers for our clients.I have always found it interesting interviewing engineers, as they seem to have a very different approach to solving daily challenges.
As my experience and interest in engineering developed, I decided to learn to program. The difficulty here was learning complex concepts from scratch, on one's own, as well as putting time aside to practice (very hard in the startup world!). Every week I would come back to my programming challenges to find that I had forgotten what I had done the previous week. I was stagnating and frustrated!Having a foot in the Parisian Tech system, I had already heard of this great coding bootcamp. The Le Wagon Alumni seemed to be thriving, following their 9-week coding experience, so I decided to give it a try.
A typical day at Le Wagon would start with breakfast, followed by coffee with the teachers and classmates. We would continue with a 2-hours lesson covering specific concepts (these classes would follow a well-thought-out Web Development course, split into topics throughout the weeks). After the lesson, we would then be paired with a randomly assigned classmate to work on daily challenges. Our day would end with a "live" coding session, as a group, with teachers and classmates.
The teachers play a key role in our learning process, as they break the complex concepts down into small digestible blocks. When you hit a wall, the teachers were there to offer tips and clarification on specific things you could not fully grasp. Not only were they patient and good teachers, but also friendly and inspiring people.
Bali is a fabulous place to visit; being able to live there for almost 3 months was incredible. I would go to the beach before classes for a walk or surfing and visit other towns on the island on the weekend.Canggu is perhaps the most famous digital nomad spot, so you meet very interesting people - from all over the world - during your stay.
Le Wagon Bali was truly a life-changing experience!
The 9-week Web Development Bootcamp has taught me a whole new set of skills and changed my perception of the digital world. It gave me an understanding of how apps are built and how to use the language and technologies to interact with computers. During the course, I was not only able to build and ship two Web Applications from scratch in an entrepreneurial manner, I also discovered a new country and culture, whilst making new friends from all over the world at the same time.
Thank you Le wagon! - Yasmin Jones SheahanGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonApr 27, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Before Le Wagon, I had settled into a nice routine of teaching Pilates in the mornings, which gave me lots of free time. I decided I wanted to do something with it, learn something new. I’d started teaching myself to code back in University and I’ve always wanted to pursue it, but always felt I was missing so much, so I started looking into bootcamps.

I decided I wanted to do something with it, learn something new. I’d started teaching myself to code back in University and I’ve always wanted to pursue it, but always felt I was missing so much, so I started looking into bootcamps.
Le Wagon was the only one that offered on-campus part-time learning, which was perfect as I could keep working and it would also give me more time to digest the material. All the reviews were glowing, everyone seemed to love it and most found jobs in the industry soon after. I went along for an interview, met some of the team, took a look around and I was sold.
Batch 317 was a really diverse group; it was great to see so many women on the course! Le Wagon also have a buddy system, meaning you work through the challenges with someone new every day. This really helped build a community, you made friends, encouraged you to talk through your solutions and also made you feel better if both had no clue what to do (very rarely, of course). The support from the staff was superb. The fact that the entire team had completed the bootcamp was reassuring that the process works. They were understanding, encouraged any questions and were really light-hearted in their approach, which took a lot of the stress off.
My favourite thing about the bootcamp was building the final project. It was incredible to see everything come together, you realise how far you’ve come in such a short amount of time.
My group’s final project was creating one place that you could browse over independent bike workshops and book appointments easily through the app. If you asked me before the bootcamp what sort of project I’d like to build by the end, I don’t think I would have come up with something half as complex as that. I’m blown away by how much I’ve learned at the bootcamp, I couldn’t recommend Le Wagon more! - MaciekGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonApr 27, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Le Wagon teaches very good how to code
As a Le Wagon London graduate I highly recommend this two month learning experience, were people from diverse backgrounds learn how to code from scratch. As a major in humanities I never thought I would learn some much practical knowledge in only two months. True, it is very intense. Five whole days per week for two months. But worth every hour and every money invested. The teaching method designed by Le Wagon is superb. Theory and practice are uniquely combined to get practical results ...As a Le Wagon London graduate I highly recommend this two month learning experience, were people from diverse backgrounds learn how to code from scratch. As a major in humanities I never thought I would learn some much practical knowledge in only two months. True, it is very intense. Five whole days per week for two months. But worth every hour and every money invested. The teaching method designed by Le Wagon is superb. Theory and practice are uniquely combined to get practical results very fast. I would say that it is the best "learning by practice". The program is well structured, where every day of learning and practice is an element from which the students, divided in teams in the later stages of the bootcamp, learn how to build a working mobile app, which is the end project of the course. In this way finishing the bootcamp, graduates are not only theory rich in knowledge, but also in practice. Also I very highly value the teaching staff. They were eager to help all the time, very kind to the students, and created a good atmosphere. This all led to a positive atmosphere- well suited for learning. The bootcamp experience was also enriched by the after classes activities like meetings with industry specialists, networking events and fun actives. This all created a very well connected alumni network after the bootcamp. To sum up, Le Wagon is the place to be if a person wants to learn how code. - Jonas VanbuelGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonApr 24, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Best investment in myself I can remember
Before starting Le Wagon’s software development bootcamp in London I was working in Fine Arts.

I chose their part-time program in London so I could continue to work while going through the 6-month course, and in retrospect it definitely feels like the best investment I’ve made in myself that I can remember!
Le Wagon’s learning structure is a combination of home study by way of video lectures and every week 3 in-person sessions with other students and teachers. Since the pace of the course is high and consistent it takes some dedication, though it’s difficult to believe how much you managed to learn in 6 months, and how far you’ve come by the time you finish your final project! - VinceE-Commerce Manager • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BaliApr 22, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Reached another level
As a freelance e-commerce consultant, I was looking to build out my technical skills in that regard which is undoubtedly the most sough-after added skill in the field.
Le Wagon seemed the most complete and well reviewed course, so I decided to join it in the wonderful island of Bali. A great decision in the end, as it allowed for a good balance between highly intense learning sessions and then toning down to enjoy paradise.

The teaching style is the best I have experienced in my life. Very fast-paced and quick, yet very supportive to the individual.
In the crucible of the final project weeks it all comes together, and the pressure to then deliver a final product is truly an embodiment of the whole program: it teaches you hands-on, readily applicable skills that allows you to actually build things.
Couldn't be happier for taking this course and it was most definitely a worthwhile investment. - AmeyaGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MelbourneApr 21, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
The most effective way to learn web development...
The Le Wagon Full Stack program is an excellent all-round bootcamp to build a solid foundation of web development skills.
You'll be ready to build production level web apps after just 9 weeks.
Great tech stack, effective program design, real-world applications.
There are some aspects that aren't covered in as much detail as you'd like, but that's to be expected from any 9 week bootcamp.
Overall, it certainly exceeded expectations. - Rich CStudent • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BaliApr 21, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing 9 weeks
Prior to joining Le Wagon, I worked as an E-commerce Manager, among other roles, for a US manufacturer. Over the years I had taken the usual online, self-paced courses, which I felt provided a peripheral overview of web development, but I felt like I wanted to develop a deeper understanding and I wasn’t sure how to do that.

Over the years I had taken the usual online, self-paced courses, which I felt provided a peripheral overview of web development, but I felt like I wanted to develop a deeper understanding and I wasn’t sure how to do that.
I started reading about Le Wagon and was attracted to the program because it seemed to have more of an entrepreneurial focus than other bootcamps. Bali was also on my bucket list and cost-wise, I calculated that I could probably attend Le Wagon in Bali (including airfare, food, and lodging) for less than the cost of just the tuition of many programs in the US. Being in my mid-thirties, I figured now was as good a time as any to take a career break, so I sent my deposit and within a few weeks, I was on a plane to Bali.
The program is challenging and moves at a fast pace. There were days when I felt smart and overly confident, then stupid and like I wasn’t cut out for it, all just before lunch. It’s also difficult not to compare yourself to other students in the class, even though the experience levels vary greatly - some were brand new to programming, while others had a few years of experience. But you quickly develop friendships with everyone else in the class, as well as the amazing teaching staff, and most days I looked forward to spending time with everyone, working on new challenges.
Bali is also an amazing place to spend 2-3 months, with beautiful scenery, food, and a thriving digital nomad culture. It was incredibly easy to arrive, rent a scooter, and feel at home on the island. That I could so easily pick up, move across the world, and settle in has greatly impacted my perspective on the future work that I want to pursue
All in all, I found Le Wagon to be an exceptional experience, where I learned valuable skills and developed new friendships with people from all over the world. I would highly recommend the program to anyone looking to build a foundation as a developer. - JackGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonApr 20, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The result: I had a great time, learned more than I could have imagined thanks to the teachers and learning environment, and feel empowered to continue my own learning and break into a role as a developer.
The format of the course is good - 1.5 hour lecture in the morning followed by challenges with a buddy. The lectures are well structured, gradually layering concepts on top of one another and growing in complexity, which are then reinforced in the challenges. The teaching staff are incredibly helpful and always willing to run through things with you, pushing you to work things out for yourself - they are one of the best aspects of the course.
Some days you will struggle and other days things just click. It is hard, and you do need to put the work in but it really starts to pay off toward the end. I didn’t have a ‘eureka!’ moment like others describe but honestly by the end I was shocked by how much I’d taken on. I feel comfortable building my own projects and learning new technologies and I’m having a blast doing this after the course.
In summary - highly recommended. I’ve fallen in love with web and software development and Le wagon has given me the grounding to pursue this with a new approach to learning and problem solving. - Rahul RobertsonGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonApr 17, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Honestly, the whole experience has been great (the reviews weren't lying). Le Wagon did a really great job implementing a very familial feel to the whole experience, I've never felt a barrier between the teachers/staff and students. I remember on the first day, everyone, including myself, seemed so timid and wary but that feeling faded away quickly and what's left is a family bond.
