Game-changer experience.
It all started when I was 15 years old. A super criative teenager, in love with creation and innovation, good abilities on computer and techonology itself. I started a course about website creation, using ASP.net but at the time I was so young to understand how to make money with it and life took another path. The love to work with projects and creative ideas remained for years and walked side by side while I was a salesman.

A super criative teenager, in love with creation and innovation, good abilities on computer and techonology itself. I started a course about website creation, using ASP.net but at the time I was so young to understand how to make money with it and life took another path. The love to work with projects and creative ideas remained for years and walked side by side while I was a salesman. I worked for 12 years in the commercial department and learned a lot on how to deal with people and everyday problems, closing good deals and understanding more about customer relationship. In the middle of the pandemic I really looked into my carreer and despite of being a good salesman, I really didn't see a future for what I was doing and thought about my great passion of working with projects and solving real problems with innovation. So I started talking to my friends and my cousin told my about Le Wagon and the experience that he had, the job opportunities he was receiving and it motivated me to look into it. I confess being nervous at the very beginning since I was putting aside 12 years of carreer to start over again. But it was worth it every moment. Le Wagon has a method of learning that puts you to code all day long and the interaction with other students makes all the difference. I could share my difficulties to learn and my solutions to help others. As time goes by I started to realize how much things were making sense in the bootcamp. So after learning about the stacks, database and some tools to work for a full application, I had the chance to work with a group for 2 complete projects and that was a real challenge. We had to plan, think about the design, the patterns and how we aspect the platform to behave. It was amazing and we definitely had support for this, which made all the difference. All these interactions and the materials to learn made the bootcamp at Le Wagon so special and unique. Not mentioning the network with devs and friends that keeps us in touch to this day. Now I'm a Full-Stack Web Developer and really enjoying this new life with challenging projects and the chance to put my ideas to help solving real life problems.

It was such a challenging but rewarding time. I learned a lot. It also felt like becoming part of a little family here in Rio.
I think anyone who is seriously thinking of breaking into tech this is a great opportunity. If you're serious about being a programmer, in my opinion it would help a lot though to have some prior knowledge.- FELIPE ALBERTO BRANDALISEFull Stack Developer • Student • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • Sao PauloVerified by GitHubOct 04, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Best experience of my life
I enrolled in the full-time Web Development bootcamp in January 2022 at Le Wagon’s Sao Paulo school. At first I was a bit insecure because I have spent the last 15 years working as a movie editor and creative director and for years thought about a career transition.

At first I was a bit insecure because I have spent the last 15 years working as a movie editor and creative director and for years thought about a career transition. But since the very first moment I felt welcome and secure to share my insecurities and doubts.Even though the course is very intense (and sometimes overwhelming), teachers, assistants and colleagues were always there to pick me up and help me. The mantra “Trust the methodology” is absolutely true: everyday you’re constantly using what you have previously learned. That way, you end up having a solid base to develop your knowledge, even if you don’t have any programming previous knowledge. The methodology of working in pairs or groups really gives you a sense of companionship and prepares you to real live jobs, building a sense of collaboration and constant communication.
After you finish the bootcamp you have lifetime access to the platform with all the lessons and a session to be in touch with students from Le Wagon all around the world. There, you can ask for help, share knowledge and there are tons of ex-students sharing job opportunities. I thought that I was only going to learn how to code but the sense of community that Le Wagon have really makes me feel like I belong, even now, 6 months after finishing the bootcamp. I even go there from time to time to spend the day working and clearing doubts with the teachers and friends I made there. It was, without doubt, the best experience I have ever had. - Jean GuilletJunior fullstack Ruby on Rails web developer • Student • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisVerified by GitHubOct 04, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I did Le Wagon in Paris this spring 2022. It was a very intense, yet rewarding experience. Le Wagon gives you the opportunity to strongly grasp web development (back & front) and product management concepts.

So overall, go for it if you want to learn web dev concepts (if you're into product, or want to start your business). If you want to switch to a dev career, this gives you a strong basis on which to build upon. - Chen SunGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisVerified by LinkedInOct 03, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

A fulfilling and caring atmosphere that pushes you to do your best and collaborate in an international environment with students from all over the world.The programme is extensive and includes coding on Python, data sourcing (SQL, API, CSV, web scrapping), data visualisation, data analysis, mathematics, decision science, data science (machine learning with unsupervised learning, NLP, time series, deep learning), even a short data engineering section (Train at Scale, Cloud Training, Predict in Production, User Interface), and of course a final real data science project to create and learn how to collaborate with the different specific skills of teammates. A Career Week is also offered to support, encourage, and help us to create a CV, a portfolio, and an attractive Linkedin Profile, with lots of job meetings to prepare proposed.The pace is very intense and requires good preparation in Python coding, algebra, statistics and the virtual environment, offered by the bootcamp a few weeks before the start of the course. - Juliana ArrighiWeb developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • Rio de JaneiroVerified by GitHubOct 03, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Their methodology takes you beyond your expectations. The environment they create makes you miss them after you finish the Bootcamp. It's amazing! And if still think these are not enough, you can also count on their alumni network. It's all over the world! So if you want to change your career or just want to start coding don't think twice. It can be a game changer in your life. - Zack LevyGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • OnlineVerified by GitHubOct 03, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Le Wagon is a life changing experience!
I did the Le Wagon - Web Development full-time bootcamp which is 9 weeks. The Instructors were amazing at explaining the curriculum in a clear concise(frequently down-to-earth) way. The curriculum is packed with information but is broken down in a way that I felt was understandable and relatively easy to follow. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone that is trying to break into the programming industry. - Sacha GotainerJunior Fullstack developer • Student • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisVerified by GitHubOct 03, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

My experience at Le Wagon was simply the best both human and learning experience I have ever had. The teachers and TA's are amazing, they really give the best of themselves to help us go through it all and become developers. After a while they really feel like family.
The program is really well designed, in such a way that even a total beginner, if he is willing to go through all the steps, can become a junior developer in 9 weeks of intensive training.

My experience with Le Wagon's remote course was worth every penny, without a shadow of a doubt. Although it was online, I can’t imagine having a better syllabus with more supportive and knowledgeable staff. The highlight was the collaborative nature of the programme. Every day, we had a buddy with whom we could discuss the days challenges, and during the final three weeks, we built two projects in a team of four. This is what makes Le Wagon unique.
The teachers and teaching assistants were brilliant. They were very knowledgeable, encouraging and made the lessons fun and engaging, and ensured that everyone was keeping up with the pace. For those who struggled in the first few weeks, they did a great job of giving them extra help. As a previous teacher myself, I can definitely say that they genuinely care about their students' success and know what they're doing.
Whereas some other bootcamps guarantee a job at the end of the programme, I have no doubt that Le Wagon was the best way to prepare me for a career in web development. I am confident that I have skills necessary to get a junior position, and after one week, I have already been offered a temporary internship.
Finally, it was so much fun (especially the coding tournaments!) and I met some amazing people who I'm sure I will stay in touch with. Le Wagon is great at building a community, which people stay a part of way after the end of the bootcamp. - Nazerke AmangeldyGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisVerified by LinkedInOct 01, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Intense Bootcamp
I decided to join the Le Wagon data science bootcamp due to the good reviews they had, and I was not disappointed, the system is great for learning in general, and specifically learning everything you need for the field, when stuck, the TAs are incredible helping you figure out your issue or explaining what you don't understand, the bootcamp is exhausting but very rewarding in the end.
