Le Wagon

Le Wagon is not only a coding bootcamp, Le Wagon is a network made by people who really want you to suceed and help you along the way, even after the bootcamp.
I was working as a Civil Egineer for 4 years, but I was not happy with it. I wanted to be part of the world of technology, to be able to create my own software that would alow me to solve people’s pains, and be able to work from anyplace, allowing me to travel more.
After serious thinking, I really felt I should invest in Le Wagon’s Bootcamp, and I am really happy I did. The bootcamp is very tough, specially the first weeks where you struggle to get the basic concepts, but you just need to keep pushing forward and ask for help, everybody will help you.
After 6 intensive weeks you will have to build your own app. For me, this w...

Hi everybody, I'm Marco, and I'm happy to say that after studying with Le Wagon I feel comfortable calling myself a Junior Full-stack Developer.

Coding was a big career change for me, but I began to approach a bit of coding on my own a few months before LeWagon. I recommend this strongly as it helped me a lot in the Bootcamp, even if the daily lessons were still very challenging. Le Wagon Bootcamp is just that: a chance to challenge yourself while taking part in a big family that supports you.

Every day was a big learning curve (for everyone) and sometimes a student can feel frustrated, which is one of the most common feelings in the coding world...but at the same time, that frustration can fuel you to rise above difficulties along the way. For instance, at a certain point in the ...

I have recently completed the bootcamp in Milan and I couldn't be happier with the experience!! Fantastic program, teachers and environment. It's tough during the 9 weeks - long days and often coding on weekends, but the teachers and TA's provide really good support and make sure nobody gets left behind.

The bootcamp gives you all the computer science fundamentals and coding tools required to become a web developer, and provides a lot of support online post graduation (a lot of well made videos and tutorials to reference back to).

Coming from agricolture background, i wasn`t happy with my studies and for this reason, I decided to get more involved in product development by joining Le Wagon.

The program has two key strengths:
- A very hands-on approach focusing on product development's methodology and workflow (heroku, git, etc.)
- A very demanding curriculum that teaches in-depth programming basics and software architecture, Ruby, Rails, Html, CSS, JavaScript....

Le Wagon main strength lies in its solid program that teaches both essential technical skills and a strong product mindset, in fact at the end of the course the students are asked to think, develop and present their personal projects to the public and potential investors.
The group of students also really contributed to the experience. Bright ...

BEFORE
I am an architecture student but beside my love to my career I've always wanted to learn to code, that's why I decided to take a coding bootcamp. Before deciding which one to attend I came here, to Switchup (among other websites and Medium articles), and honestly I was super skeptical about the perfect rating of Le Wagon around the globe. But after reading tons of reviews and sharing the program to my coder friends I decided the best option was Le Wagon.
When I left my hometown Mexico City, to attend Le Wagon Milan, my expectations where very high.

DURING (Spoiler alert!)
I was told that taking the bootcamp was an intense experience and after the first two weeks I noticed it was real. I entered with basic knowledge in coding and the first two weeks of Le Wagon are centere...

I just finished the latest batch (number 131) at Le Wagon Milan and I want to share with you why Le Wagon is the right option if you want to learn coding in Europe.

I have always been interested in new technologies and I become even more interested during the past two years of my life.
I thus began to study programming by myself, by using online courses, watching online tutorials and buying books. However, I felt that my progresses were too slow for two main reasons. Firstly, I had a full time job which allowed me too study only few hours every night. Secondly, I had no one to help me when my code was not working or when I did not grasp a specific topic.
Therefore, I started to look around to find a coding course suitable for my needs. I came across Le Wagon thanks to the positive ...

By deciding to go to Le Wagon you truly open up doors for yourself to new opportunities and skills, but also new friends and networks. One of the most important things to highlight about Le Wagon is the community you join, which is second to none. If it is the number of different nationalities represented (14 in my batch alone) or the varying backgrounds of the individuals, everybody has an interesting story to tell.

Regarding the coding - do not expect it to be sugar coated in any way! You will really have to commit yourself to Le Wagon and coding in the nine weeks ( the first three weeks are not called "hell weeks" for no reason ;) ). But if you really want to learn the basics of coding and are up for a challenge this will definately be the right course for you!

I’m a Parisian graduate in business. Since I’m out of college, everything has been aligned perfectly for me to pursue a great career in Finance. Everything, except that never felt right to me. Hence, for a year, I’ve been dedicating myself to purpose driven projects. But in each of these projects development, I found myself stuck on the same redundant reason: my lack of coding skills. Without these, there was no way to truly own the digital products I was working on. That’s why I attended LeWagon.

As an autodidact, I tried first to learn how to code by myself. But I never succeeded to build anything serious, and I had the impression of losing my time attacking a field that seemed too big to handle on my own. Now I realize the odds were even bigger, and I can’t imagine how I could ha...

Le Wagon is for real, when they tell you "change your life, learn to code" they do not lie.

On the end, it is the opportunity to discover and master a new motivating universe, dynamic, filled with challenges and constantly evolving, the tech world. (you wont get bored anytime soon)

After several reorientations and 5 years of business school, the code has triggered in me something that gave me many future perspectives: be a freelancer and work from anywhere in the world with just a computer and a wifi, start a project solo (or not!) with elbow grease and 0 $ in the wallet, be hired as a dev and join an adventure in a startup type company in the tech world, and so on!

On the experience Le Wagon, nothing to say, well yes, a lot of good! About efficiency, do not be afraid of the du...

I decided to take part in Le Wagon in January in Berlin. Why ? Because in my two main professional experiences - 1 year as an entrepreneur and 6 months in a chatbot agency, I’ve been very frustrated not to be able to communicate properly with developers and to build my own projects. Also, in both these experiences, I realized I didn’t want to be limited to sales or marketing roles, and that I would like to be more product-oriented (product manager for example). At that point I’ve had just finished my Master in a French Business School and I didn’t want to spend more years studying ! A 9-week coding bootcamp was for me the best time-to-outcome ratio.

The program is very well packaged: you first have 20-30 hours of video content before the bootcamp to get comfortable with the main co...

As a classically trained graphic designer I love making things in my computer, and It was very surprising to me that my curriculum didn’t require scripting, code, or software design. After I graduated I began working as an art director for a global advertising firm, and eventually ended working for the digital side - where I got the chance to work on the creative side of web development. I realized how hard it can be to make awesome things if you don’t understand the technical capabilities of the technologies you’re using to build them, and therefore decided to learn to code.

I began LeWagon without having any clue on how really life changing it would be. When you work in a creative field for a big corporation, you are very detached from ownership if what you make. Working for big c...

I reached a point in my career where I realised there was no growing opportunities for me in the company I was working for. I was bored and I felt like a machine doing my job, it wasn't rewarding anymore and I didn't see the result of my work.

I did a little bit of research and joined some meet up groups until I stumble upon Le Wagon in Berlin, where I currently live. After a couple of meet ups with them, I realised that I really enjoyed coding. I spoke with some of their students and was surprised to learn that some of them didn't have any technical background at all, just like me. I was always curious to learn how things work and found that coding will be the perfect place to find that out.

After a lot of thinking I decided to join the bootcamp and was very happy when I was acce...

The decision I made to join Le Wagon was the best decision I have ever made. Previously I was working as an accounting-software-consultant and I had only 2 options. To continue the job which I did not like that much or to quit and be lost. But, Le Wagon changed my life in only 9 weeks. The course is super intensive and at the end of the course, I was able to build web applications by myself and ready to apply for junior developer positions.

Best things about Le Wagon is that you meet great people from various background, and they are all super nice guys! Also, all of them are highly motivated to sophisticate their programming skills so that you will never be disappointed.

After the boot-camp, I still work together with them to prepare for job hunting, go out for drinks (especiall...

If you have an idea for a business that doesn't fit their criteria it won't get made. Also if you have a really complex idea some of the tutors are not qualified enough to help build it and your project will go unfinished. If you want a job in the field as a Junior developer then it's a good start, but if you have more serious aspirations there are other avenues that you can take. And likewise, if you have a project, it's probably best to get somebody else to build it and learn on the side how to code.

Le Wagon was one the most intense and fun learning experiences I have had. Developing a fully functioning online product together with the other students by the end of the nine weeks is such a great feeling. I will recommend it to everyone.

The bootcamp starts out by teaching you programming "the hard way" in the sense, that it teaches you a lot of the basics behind the frameworks you will be taught later on. That way you will gain a deeper understanding of the technologies you work with, which also means that you appreciate them a lot more when you get to use them.

Le Wagons self developed learning platform and style of teaching is also well thought out and constantly evolving. Having access to the platform will be useful to you way past the duration of the bootcamp if you plan o...

Before Le Wagon, I was working as a Civil Engineer in a global infrastructure company, but I decided I needed to try and pursue my passion in coding and development. Reviews on sites like this one are what led me to choosing Le Wagon Sydney, and following a to a discussion with Charly Martin (the driver for Sydney) to make sure I was the right fit, I can tell you that I could not have been happier with my decision to join Le Wagon.

Le Wagon Sydney is an excellent bootcamp that really challenges you and pushes you to make the most out of the 9 precious weeks you have with them. Le Wagon teaches you the fundamentals of web development using Ruby on Rails and give you the skills to go out and create your own web app and make your ideas reality.

The course structure is well suited to ...

Being an economist, I had a big interest in data science and started to try to learn a bit by myself. I wasn’t very successful and decided that it would be better to learn with other people. Le Wagon seemed like the best choice. Even though the program focuses on web development, I felt it would be best to get a good grasp on programming before looking specifically at data. I applied for Batch #97 in Lisbon and managed to get in and join this great community.
It was a very intensive 9 weeks with a very sharp look at ruby and web-development. As a n
ewcomer, it was amazing to start understanding how software works, how websites I use on a daily basis are structured and created, and actually create one by the end of the bootcamp. Classes focused on the practical side of how to use code ...

One year ago I decided it was time to learn coding. I started off by my own, reading a book and watching online videos. I soon realised that I needed a better way to learn the basics and create the foundations on which I could build on my knowledge. Lewagon gave me this exact foundations that I was dreaming for. In the end of the course the most talented students will be able to find a job strait way, but everybody will have the foundations and knowledge of what to do next in their new coding career.

Regarding Lewagon London: The offices were really nice, very spacious, modern and clean. All the staff was super friendly and helpful. The location was good too, in a nice area close to the center and next to the overground. The classes were surprising well structured and organized. I wo...

Prior to the Bootcamp I've been working in different commercial companies which I worked at during and after my Marketing and Business Studies. Before these sales and marketing driven years I got the news I would be visual impaired in the future which in the end would set me all the way back to not being able to work at a normal job. My love for computers was put away due the fact I would not be able see a computer screen in the near future. However, I couldn't foreclose my natural passion for tech. After approximately 8 years, which included many operations on my eyes, I finally got some good news. Which was that my operation succeeded and I would be able to see more in the future.

During this period, I was fortunate enough to work in the same building as Le Wagon Amsterdam. Knowing...
