Le Wagon

Learning to code can be tricky and very frustrating. Even more if you come from a different area, like me. Le Wagon’s staff in Berlin know that, and is prepared to deal with it in a very good way. The teaching method — lectures and livecodes, and a lot... Read More of challenges in between — proves to be very efficient. Students are always encouraged to participate, no matter what their levels are. For the challenges, the buddy’s system works well, and having the assistance of very helpful and highly skilled TA’s is fundamental. Having lifetime access to the learning platform and Slack groups with alumni is also great. Besides, the very diverse staff makes everything they can to make the students feel comfortable and confident, always open to chat whenever we need. Not to mention the lots of side activities such as games, some parties and the free Club Mates (one per day!) and Friday beers. Highly recommended!

I had an amazing experience with Le Wagon. Before doing the bootcamp, I was working in Finance and was self-learning to code, but I needed more guidance and structure in my learning journey. Le Wagon provided that and more. It was a super supportive environment,... Read More the teachers were great at guiding us and really making sure we understood the concepts. At the end of the bootcamp, we worked on two projects in teams that brought together everything we learnt throughout the bootcamp & also taught us best practices of working in teams. It’s amazing how much we learnt in such a short amount of time!

After multiple attempts to learn programming and miserably failing I needed some guidance and structure, so I decided to look for a coding boot-camp I could join and that’s how I came across LeWagon. Now, after surviving 10 weeks and completing the course... Read More I can proudly say that I would not go anywhere else. Throughout my journey full of ups and downs, moments where you’re about to give up, yet somehow you push through to see another day. This would not have been possible without the world class staff that they have! Support is the key component for success, and LeWagon has provided it all. Staff, Teachers and Teaching assistants working endlessly to help you out, making sure you understand every concept necessary. In the end it’s like a family, and I’m very proud to be part of it.

I spent the last 3 months doing Le wagon Full stack boot camp, and this was one of the best decision of my life I would never have learned so much in 3 months alone or even in another school. Not only you will learn so much and feel like you can work... Read More on any project after the boot camp but the staff is also amazing for the teachers to Irina the manager everyone is so welcoming and helpful they will make sure you you are progressing and having a good time!

Le Wagon… what an experience! Firstly I have to say at I whole heartedly recommend Le Wagon to anyone looking to up skill and deepen their understanding of web development for whatever reason. Just for context, I chose to do Le Wagon to change careers... Read More from being a music teacher and become a web developer as I’d really grown an interest and passion for it through doing basic online courses through lockdown. There were three things I was looking for community, lots of room for growth and learning and great teaching. The community is incredible, they have fostered an amazing community spirt and energy around learning at Le Wagon thats and almost immediately it starts to feel like home. Obviously my batch was the best batch in Le Wagon history but I’m biased, the bonds that you build with people through this experience are amazing. All of the staff from Boris to the cleaner (and his dog) are super helpful and welcoming. I started the camp having learned the fundamentals of coding previously but from day one I felt like I was being pushed technically and conceptually. As the weeks progress I realised one of the magic things was the Le Wagon was conditioning me to enjoy and pursue constant learning. Each day is a new topic its fast paced and theres a lot of work, but it’s very rewarding. The is an abundance of great learning support the teaching method that Le Wagon have developed is excellent and allowed you to get out of the experience exactly what you put in, so I recommend you put everything into your time at Le Wagon. Each morning there is a lecture on the topic the your challenges will be based on for that day the TA’s are around through the day to help and guide you through them when you meet blockers. Honestly not all teachers and TA are equal some are good some are great, none are bad. Most importantly they are all patient, compassionate, supportive and invested in the success of every Le Wagon student. Doing Le Wagon is hands down one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life I’ve been fortunate enough to go straight in to a Job through the WeShape Tech Academy and continue to learn, grow and build on the foundation the Le Wagon has given me.

Before the LeWagon Bootcamp I was unemployed, and not sure what I really wanted to do in life ! I heard of the company and coding from a close friend and I immediately got interested !! I loved every single day, and coming to the end, I’m sure I made... Read More the right choice by choosing Le Wagon. Thanks to the excellent and best TA’s , who were there for us with all their patience and professionalism during the weeks!!

Who would have thought that learning to code could be fast, easy and fun. I attended the Web Development bootcamp at Le Wagon Lisbon and I am still amazed with everything I have learned and created. These were some 9 intensive weeks, filled with lectures,... Read More challenges, projects and events. The bootcamp is structure in such a way that everything is connected and progression feels really natural and fluid. Every day you are partnered with a different person and together you work through the daily challenges, all with the help of really great teachers and TAs who are there for you. The environment is also the best. From the infrastructures to the amazing staff and the all-around great mood, you will feel welcomed, supported and right at home.  Coming from a completely different background (tourism), I had never coded before the bootcamp and always thought it would be something that was really hard to learn. Thanks to Le Wagon, I now know it's not and I can finally have the career change I wanted. You can do it too.

It was a very productive 9 weeks! We arrived with 0 code knowledge and left with a ready-made application! It was very intense and rewarding to participate. I come from an area of industrial engineering, and I thought it would be impossible to learn,... Read More but after the first 2 weeks, you can already see where you are. Thanks to all the gang, all the staff, and all the place... that routine of arriving at 9 and leaving only at 18. I miss it.... now I feel ready to face the market. thank you le wagon lisbon for opening this immense market full of surprises to me. #865

As a US citizen it made great sense to choose Le Wagon in Lisbon. The cost is more competitive and the quality of life, tech stack, and opportunities for entrepreneurship are much greater than options in the US. Especially learning Ruby on Rails gives... Read More me the opportunity to launch an MVP very quickly. I can't speak highly enough of the teachers and staff, the community and the classmates I had at the Lisbon campus and know I will always have a family there in sunny Portugal. Don't miss this opportunity!

Le Wagon Zurich gave me the web development foundation I needed to pursue a career as a Software Engineer. They have an excellent curriculum and wonderful teachers that care about each student's development. I would totally recommend them and I think...
