La Capsule

I followed the bootcamp of La Capsule to learn how to code, I can say that it was a really fulfilling experience. Before the program, I had just graduated with degrees in law and English, two fields that have nothing to do with web development. However,... Read More I have always been drawn to the world of programming. The prospect of a 5-year engineering school (with mathematics and physics) quickly discouraged me. But thanks to La Capsule, I discovered that coding was closer to learning a language. If, like me, the notion of algorithms makes you uncomfortable, you can totally overcome it with La Capsule. I learned a lot and even though it's still not my favorite part, I made a lot of progress. The format of each day is well organized. Classes start at 9am and last one or two hours. You then spend the rest of the day working on projects with your buddy. You are free to make your own arrangements for lunch, but you must be present at 2:00 pm (and 9:00 am!) in order to register. At around 5pm, the teacher comes back to correct the exercises of the day. The teacher remains, it should be noted, fully available throughout the day if you need help. This organization encourages independent learning. You will always try to work on your own before asking your buddy and then the teacher for help if the problem persists. The atmosphere in the group was fantastic, with a true learning-centered atmosphere and a deep interest in the culture of the digital world. La Capsule focuses on learning JavaScript (with HTML and CSS), ReactJS, and React Native, which is a nice set of skills to put on one's resume. One of the advantages of this formation is that you can take an exam in order to obtain a level 6 RNCP title (professional title validated by the state in France) in web development, which can be a real bonus to start your career. As for the pace of the training, I didn't find it that demanding. For those who are fresh out of school, I think you will adapt relatively well. It goes pretty fast, though, so you have to be sure that you're getting the notion of the day, that you're asking all the questions that you want to ask during the day. The next day, you will certainly discover a completely different notion and forget your difficulties of the previous day. Reviewing the courses during the weekend can help a lot. In short, La Capsule was a very good experience. If you are looking to learn how to code and develop professional web development skills, I highly recommend this training.

I took La Capsule training program in early 2023. The program covered topics that truly meet the current professional expectations in web development, with the study of libraries such as React and React Native, and the study of the backend with noSQL... Read More databases. I could rely on our teacher's dedication, who not only guided us through each of the topics that were covered, but also adapted to each individual's level to both assist those who needed it and provide guidance to those who were more advanced. I highly recommend this training program for its professionalism and future prospects.

Great experience at la Capsule, I finished my web and mobile developer training at la Capsule in early March. I really liked the way the program is designed. There is indeed a lot of practice time which is very nice to improve. The teaching staff is very... Read More attentive, I highly recommend it. The program is accessible to beginners if you have taken the preparatory work course requested at the time of registration. I was impressed by the amount of knowledge that one acquires with this method. I also appreciated the atmosphere in the group and the buddy system that allows you to change colleagues every day. That's why I give a 5 star rating without hesitation, you should not hesitate!

Excellent bootcamp with a friendly atmosphere and a competent teaching team. The program is solid and well designed. The programming languages / frameworks taught are current and powerful. I highly recommend it for those who want to make a first step... Read More in web development.

Go ! If you are looking for a quick training in React web development, La Capsule is a good school. Special mention for our teatcher which was really great! Thank you Amin for your incredible pedagogy and your way of deconstructing concepts that may seem... Read More complicated (redux... props...) The atmosphere and the staff are relaxed, like at home. The program is of high quality, the educational platform "Ariane" is regularly updated: we were the first Batch to have studied Typescipt for example. You'll have all the basics (and more) to continue your learning once you leave this Bootcamp, so hang in there, it's worth it! At 36 years old and in retraining, I came in with zero experience in code, and today (1 month later), I'm starting to bill my first freelance clients. However, it's a format that you have to be prepared for and may not be suitable for everyone: it's intense and you have to be very motivated. Good code!

La Capsule has been a real challenge for me, as junior developper at the beginning, senior network and security architect, this bootcamp is well sized to any people who begins, or should confirm their bases and upscale their level. I recommend obviously... Read More this bootcamp !

I was a student of La Capsule in Bordeaux. The positives: 1. Obtaining an RNCP title equivalent to bac+3 in only 2 months. 2. The technologies taught are relevant. 3. The project-based learning format allows for rapid progress. 4. A qualified teacher... Read More who listens to you and who can potentially help you find a job. Negative points: 1. The format is not for everyone, it is very fast-paced, which could discourage/stress/frustrate many. 2. The cost of the training (excluding financing, but it is still competitive with the prices of other trainings) 3. It is a fullstack training, but still more focused on the front end (not really a negative point but rather a clarification) Conclusion: In short, this is a very good training and surely the best option in Bordeaux for people looking to get a first certification in the dev world quickly, while acquiring solid skills. Be careful, it is only a first step in the dev world and even if you learn a lot, on other subjects your knowledge will remain limited. You have to continue learning on your own and with the masterclasses offered by La Capsule at the end of the batch. You have to review the notions seen the same day at home in the evening, and I also advise you to understand the basics of algos and JS before starting. No, recruiters won't fight to employ you after a bootcamp, in my opinion, it's still very hard to get a permanent job or even to start a freelance career, and even hard to find an internship or a work-study program (potentially due to the current economic situation). In short, if you are lucid about what your post-batch situation will be, if you are not afraid of overworking yourself for two months and if you want to learn quickly, go for it!

When I learned about La Capsule training program, I didn’t know anything about coding but was curious to try! The first days were very overwhelming : learning new things every day, discovering the fundamentals, getting to know the other students : wow... Read More that’s a lot. The rhythm was intense but soon I got used to it and I loved getting up each morning to join my “buddies” (a new learning partner each day) and learn something new. The course and exercises are very well designed, we also had a few “hack” challenges that were perfect to test ourselves with everything we learned so far. The educational team was very qualified and patient with us! I’m very pleased I chose this training program; it was a great experience and I already advised people around me to do it. It’s truly a human adventure, I would do it all over again!

My experience at the capsule was perfect for me. I was able to increase my web development skills with an exercise and project based methodology. I have now found a job and I am most happy to have made this choice. If I had to do it again I would do it... Read More without hesitation. The main asset of this school is the languages learned: nextJS and nodeJS.

I have just finished my FullStack developer training from the capsule in Lyon in distance learning. I am happy with my training because it taught me to have a strong foundation in a short amount of time. It is true that it is an intense training and that... Read More is exactly what I was looking for, so it suited me well. I think that this format is not suitable for everyone, you have to be very motivated, hardworking, self-sufficient and have a strong mentality in order to not give up during the more difficult times. Otherwise, the subjects covered really allow you to have a strong foundation. I really liked how it was structured, with a lot of practice, quizzes, projects, algorithm exercises, etc. The fact of facing challenges allows you to learn faster. We are pushed to search for solutions ourselves and to work with others, which is similar to how it is done in a company, so it is good preparation. I would have liked the project manager part to be explored more. Being in distance learning in a hybrid format (part distance learning and part in-person) I found that the format was not adapted for distance learning in these circumstances. I had the feeling of being more isolated. We were not allowed to participate in the katas night which I really wanted to do and which we could have done in distance learning with screen sharing since that was our usual method of working between distance learners, we did not understand this decision. We did not have the buddy system which disappointed me a lot since that was a promise of the training. I did not understand the reason because in a company we are expected to work with people remotely so it would have been good preparation and it would have helped us integrate better with the rest of the group that was in person. Fortunately, we were a good group in distance learning and we organized ourselves to help each other and work together thanks to video and screen sharing. We also had a failure during the ice breaker and were not connected to the in-person group, so the bridges between in-person and distance learning were only really made during the demo day at the end of the training and I found it a shame, it would have only been positive for everyone to have a real mixed group. I had the feeling of missing out on some promises that were made to me before starting. However, there is now a 100% remote course so I imagine that the noted difficulties have been identified and that the necessary measures have been put in place. In these conditions, since there will apparently no longer be a hybrid format, I think that it will no longer be a problem and I can only tell you to go for it if you want to do this training! Honestly, I think it was the best decision I have ever made. However, do not expect everything to be handed to you on a silver platter, you will have to work hard! Nobody forces you to do this training, it is your own decision so you have to want it more than anything else. You will have to be self-sufficient because you will not have someone to hold your hand throughout the entire process. But it is worth it, it is an incredible experience that will change your life. Do not hesitate!
