I had a pretty good career before Le Wagon - after Le Wagon I have a great career that I get excited about each day. I graduated from college and had a good job working for a successful tech company in San Francisco, but I had always been interested in coding but wasn't sure whether I could do it.

I graduated from college and had a good job working for a successful tech company in San Francisco, but I had always been interested in coding but wasn't sure whether I could do it.
I'm super glad I decided to go "all-in" and do it. Sylvain / Yann / Doug and all the TAs are really great guys and I enjoyed getting to know them as mentors and friends. There were about 20 folks in my batch from literally ALL OVER THE WORLD. It was super fun to get to know new people and I wish I would have spent more time with them during my time at Le Wagon.
The curriculum was super well organized and the leaders do a great job running it. My favorite experience was definitely working on the two products at the end as a team. As a software engineer now working in a team with over 100+ engineers, I can confidently say that working well with a team is KEY to being a good developer.
Really was the best career decision I've ever made.- XeniaGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • Buenos AiresApr 04, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The LeWagon Buenos Aires team was always very caring, patient and helpful, willing to stay longer whenever necessary to make sure every student is satisfied with the learning outcome of the day and feels comfortable with the material. I had an amazing intense 9 weeks together with a group of ambitious, very intelligent and inspiring people. I would highly recommend this program! - CiroGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • Rio de JaneiroApr 02, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

It was one the most important points of my life and I happy I found Le Wagon to assist me from the beginning. The bootcamp manager, teachers and basically everybody there was super into giving us the tools and hints to find what better suited and could be the best for our lives (during and after the course). I studied a lot and it wasn't easy, but surely enough was worth it. Now I can sincerely recommend Le Wagon's bootcamp to other people who need coding, start-up and inter-personal relations as a next step in their life. Other than that, I already landed a (simple) job in coding, but despite being a small step I feel more confident and happy now. - Lucas Diniz CunhaFullstack Developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • Rio de JaneiroApr 01, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I wanted to join because web development have been a area of interest for a few years. Also, I had the luck to have someone more experienced (Andre) tell me that a early insertion on the marked was a really good idea.

It was one the the best couple of months of my life, not only because I was learning what I needed, without bullshit, bus also the community is so nice that made me fall in love with everything about it.
- what are your dreams and aspirations for after
What I hope for the short/medium time range is to get some freelance going in order to get more experience and maybe, if I have the time, get a job developing for a company. For the long time range, I hope to maybe coordinate my own developing team on a company. - VitorStudent • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • Rio de JaneiroApr 01, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Rio #358 Bootcamp really changed my life
9 hard-working-fast-paced weeks. I need to say that at first I was not completely sure how the bootcamp would help me since I had been working with IT support for the previous 3 years. But It couldn't be more proud of my decision of leaving my job and starting the course. After this 9 weeks I really feel that I can finally contribute to companies or even create projects by my own and most important, I trully feel worthy after several years. - Joaquín PanelatiGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • Buenos AiresApr 01, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
When you look back and can't believe how much you've learned, that's when you know the bootcamp was GREAT
My experience in the bootcamp was excellent. Those were two intense months, filled with challenges, joy but also frustration, laughter and a lot of unforgettable moments shared with my peers. The atmosphere that's generated is amazing, you find yourself in a room full of ambitious people pushing really hard to learn and be better, and that ends up being contagious and brings out the best in you.
All the content and how it's organized it's just great, personally I love ...My experience in the bootcamp was excellent.

The atmosphere that's generated is amazing, you find yourself in a room full of ambitious people pushing really hard to learn and be better, and that ends up being contagious and brings out the best in you.
All the content and how it's organized it's just great, personally I love the independence that you have on a typical day, the "buddy system" is great because every couple can handle their own schedule and you get to work and cooperate with amazing people everyday.
Also the bootcamp is hard. You need to be committed and up for the challenge. But also I have to say: don't be cowards. If you know this is the thing you want to do, just go for it, don't back up just because of the intensity. The reward is HUGE so it's worth all the hard work.
I developed a lot of technical skills: how the web works, how to write real/useful code, how to collaborate in a team, back-end, front-end, user experience, user interface, and a bit of marketing. BUT most importantly, I developed a lot of skills apart from the technical side and that's what I value the most: being curious, asking the right questions, trouble-shooting and solving real-life problems, being resilient, learning from your mistakes and your successes, thinking like an entrepreneur.
I couldn't imagine ourselves developing those projects, even during the bootcamp we had our doubts like "that's what we are going to be able to do?!?!?" and the teachers would say "yes, just trust the process" and they were right. It's crazy to think how much things have changed in only two months.
THANKS to all the Le Wagon Buenos Aires team, driver, teachers, TAs and the whole community, it was awesome!!! If you are thinking about doing the bootcamp in Buenos Aires I'd say stop thinking and just do it, the teachers are too good to be true.

what a good time
At the time I came across Le Wagon, I had just recently graduated from secondary school and was looking for a productive way to start my gap year. I had heard of intensive, fast-paced coding bootcamps for people looking to get into the world of tech and it turned out that Le Wagon was the best out of all of them.

I had heard of intensive, fast-paced coding bootcamps for people looking to get into the world of tech and it turned out that Le Wagon was the best out of all of them. Coding can definitely be intimidating to learn, especially when you have to fully implement a project idea that you don’t even have yet, but at no point was that fact enough to counteract the good teaching, sense of community, and motivation that was present there. Everything about the design and structure of the course feels very bespoke, as if the creators have very good models of the user experience. The buddy system works extremely well, as well as Kitt, the flashcards, the TAs, and drinks on Friday evenings, all of them really bringing the whole bootcamp together. And this is to say nothing of the people. The probability that 40 individuals, that I couldn’t have hand-picked better myself, all happened to convene in the right place at the right time for this bootcamp is so low, that I am unable to believe that it happened purely by accident. It must say something special about the staff and organizers and the founders of Le Wagon who all individually contribute to the atmosphere and environment that 40 incredible people decided to participate in. For the same reason, I’m also forced to believe that this is the case for all batches that went before me. And that is completely beside the point of coding - why you’re actually there. Working with three other fellow batchmates to put together our idea “Subscripto” (go to “subscripto.org” right now) made me realize that “teamwork” isn’t just one of those buzz-words that pretentious people like to write on their applications to increase their chances. Working alongside intelligent, hard-working people was motivating, meaningful, and not least of all, fun. I really hope I see all of the people again. - Antonio SanchezWeb Development Bootcamp - Full-time • TokyoMar 31, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Excellent experience
Without knowing anything about coding i end up having a lot of knowledge and how to apply it to real projects, excellent teachers, aways available to help you and push you to learn, even after the bootcamp they are helping you with everything related to continue in this coding path, an amazing experience totally recommendable to any that want to learn how to do web applications. - Jose I.

After 14yrs in banking, I chucked it all in and let my puzzle-loving nature pursue its curiosity about coding by signing up for Le Wagon’s full-stack web development course.
What followed were 2 amazing months rammed with well planned lectures and challenges that introduced new concepts daily alongside regular echoes of previous content, which helped reinforce the foundation of programming knowledge that was being built. And each day, you were buddied with another student, which fostered strong bonds of collaboration and opened your eyes to different ways of approaching problems. To say this learning curve was steep and intense would be a gross understatement (oh my lord it broke me bad a couple of times!) but that’s exactly what you need if you really want to learn, be pushed out of your comfort zone and actually acquire meaningful skills. And if you put the work in, the subsequent transformation from week 1 to 9 is absolutely mind-blowing as you exponentially accelerate from dingbat status to proudly finishing with a fully operational, bona fide web or mobile phone app, plus the confidence and desire to do more!
But as much as I could happily wax lyrical on and on about the learning side of things, what I loved most was the genuine sense of community and camaraderie at Le Wagon. For starters I really can’t speak highly enough of how patient all the teachers and TAs were, and what a supportive space they created for us to learn in. They encouraged questions, and requests for help were always answered with positivity, enthusiasm and compassion. And beyond even that, I appreciated how Le Wagon also encouraged a healthy study-social balance, whether it was by reminding us to put away our laptops during the evenings and weekends, take breaks during the day, tuck into birthday cake they’d lay out for us in the afternoons, zen ourselves at free yoga sessions, attend Q&A evenings with tech industry leaders or blow off steam at their weekly social events! There really were so many wonderful people and extra thoughtful touches that made what was an already exciting, productive learning environment into something that was full of heart as well.
With so much learning, so much laughter and so much love, I will always look back at the time I spent at Le Wagon and say that it was one of the best experiences of my life that has left me in a position to look forward now, prepared and excited, to a future in programming. - Alex StewartProduct Manager • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonMar 27, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Having recently moved back from a year-long project abroad I decided that the timing was right to take some time out and challenge myself to learn a new skill - something that I believed would stand me in good stead in either setting up my own business or joining a small company with big growth ambitions. With no prior coding experience at all it seemed like a big jump to go straight into a 9-week intensive programme, however I was assured by the team at Le Wagon that the bootcamp was perfectly suited to people with little to no experience.
Having now completed the programme I can honestly say that I’m very glad to have taken on the challenge. It was by no means a walk in the park and was one of the most intense learning environments I’ve ever been in with new concepts and theories introduced every day. The support of all the teaching staff was incredible and no problem or question was too small or obvious - their passion and enthusiasm really makes Le Wagon what it is.
Having said this, for me some of the most valuable learnings were made working through problems with fellow students - really understanding the root of the problem and figuring out a solution without immediately asking for help (but knowing it’s always there when required!). This was especially true of project weeks where all of the learnings we had made out of context in previous weeks came together in Rails. These were also some of the most satisfying, seeing the MVP of our app come together into something we were proud to present at the end. A great 9-weeks, now back to the real world…! - TheoGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonMar 26, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Before starting le Wagon, I was working in a small technology company within the commercial team. Being exposed to product managers gave me a real desire to pursue that path. I knew that learning to code would be a valuable skill in this pursuit and had heard of Le Wagon a few times before so I quit my job and enrolled for the January 2020 intake.

Being exposed to product managers gave me a real desire to pursue that path. I knew that learning to code would be a valuable skill in this pursuit and had heard of Le Wagon a few times before so I quit my job and enrolled for the January 2020 intake.
The structure of the program is great. We started by learning the basics of different programming languages back-end, databases, front-end before applying that to our projects, working in teams with other students. It also meant that we moved from exercises and challenges, in the beginning, to actually developing real products. You can actually show your friends and family what you’re building!
More importantly, Le Wagon will help you think like a developer. Identifying a problem and finding the solution yourself, not need to learn things off by heart.
The teachers are always there to help us out, from solving exercises to helping us think about the features we want to add when we work on our projects. They help you understand rather than just give answers.
I was also happily surprised by the general solidarity between students, everyone helps each other out.
As with most things, the more you invest yourself in the course the more you’ll get out of it. All the staff from the London campus put in a lot of effort to keep everyone motivated in what can be an intense 9 weeks with various events/talks and overall good vibes.
Overall, an experience that I would highly recommend.
