Le Wagon

I was a total beginner in Web Development and was pretty anxious about starting a two month bootcamp. Quickly, I realised that I didn’t have to worry about that. The first day they were saying “trust the program”. Now I can too, tell you personally as... Read More a fresh alumni to “trust the program”. It’s perfectly done and I've learned so many interesting notions. I’m glad to have done it.

I had been wanting to change careers and become a web developer for a while, and I finally ended up choosing Le Wagon to kickstart this journey. I am really glad I did! Sure, I could have learned by myself - there are really great resources online, that... Read More is true! But Le Wagon uses a very specific learning process that really ensures we absorb and apply the knowledge in an optimal way via their own platform, challenges and projects. And that’s not counting all the skills we acquire that are necessary in a developer position, outside of just programming language skills, such as learning how to learn (so important!), working together as a team, version control with Git, product design with Figma, Agile methodologies, writing user stories, prioritizing features for an MVP, etc. On top of that, Le Wagon Montréal counts on an amazing team and I am glad to now be part of that international community! I am super excited to start my new job as a full stack developer.

After 7 years of experience in web project management, I wanted to enrich my functional profile through the acquisition of real technical skills. That's why I joined Le Wagon to train as a FullStack Web Developer. My first idea was therefore to enrich... Read More my technical skills and thus have an expertise in web project management, both on a functional and technical level. But after 9 weeks of bootcamp and two projects developed in a team, I discovered a new passion. The full-time training is very intensive. But it is also very rich in terms of learning and on a human level. You get into the rhythm very quickly and eventually the time passes so quickly that you feel nostalgic before the end of the course. I spent 9 amazing weeks, the training in general is very well organised and the staff is very competent and educational. I recommend this experience to anyone who wants to learn.

Pros: Curriculum basically covers all the aspects of the data science job Cons: Information is too condensed, especially, Time Series lecture Lecturers are not always prepared for class, and don’t always know the subject matter Issues with the Internet... Read More and hub was quite noisy

Spending these two months at Le Wagon has been an incredible experience. The atmosphere is very good, the teaching staff is very friendly. The idea of working with a different buddy every day is amazing. It's a very intensive training but very well supervised,... Read More I am now passionate about code and I can't wait to practice it in my next job.

I had never coded before le Wagon and I am now convinced that everyone should learn to code. The 2 months went fast and I met incredible people who were on the same journey. The first few days were the hardest, but once you start to see the results of... Read More your efforts, you keep going. You graduate with 2 MVP (minimum viable products) for your portfolio and an access to 10k alumni around the world.

With a former experience as software engineer in industrial printing, I had reached a point in my career where I wanted to change course and invest into a new career to bring a true meaning to my everyday activity. My investigations led me to turn into... Read More Data Sciences and I liked the booster that an almost 10 weeks bootcamp could bring. From the very start, once you pass the necessary python and maths warm-ups, you will learn entirely new concepts every.single.day. Yes, this is intense (this is what you paid for!) and can be overwhelming at times but in the end you will get all the intuitions of a Data Scientist and understand all the roles a data scientist can fulfill in the data and IA domains. Concerning the teaching method, lectures are built as a thorough resources with extra pointers to dive into anytime you want to dig further into those concepts. Exercises and lectures are constantly reworked and refined which makes « Le Wagon » a truly agile learning structure offering lifetime access to new content once you join the alumni fellowship. But be certain that you will be given truly up-to-date content. Moreover the teaching process (lecture, exercices, end of day recap) involves a full team of teacher assistants during the whole exercices phase is meant to leave No-one in the corner.The teaching team is energetic, composed of teachers and former students that are eager to share their past and present experiences and committed to the success of your bootcamp. And the level of commitment of that team, especially during the project phase, is nothing short of remarkable. I owe them, as well as with the teaching process, a huge thank you to have successfully rekindled the fun in coding and algorithmic that I thought I had lost for good. And eventually it opened new doors that I thought were not meant for me… In short let’s say that the fame that « Le Wagon » has gained over the years is well deserved! Dive in and you will be rewarded!

By registering at Le Wagon Paris, I knew that I was going to follow a quality training, but I didn't expect it to be so well established. We trust the program and let ourselves be carried away ! The teachers are very qualified, super caring and available.... Read More I felt accompanied and supported throughout the training. I learned so much in such a short time, and the progression is crazy : at the end of the 9 weeks, we acquire reflexes and we master the basics. I feel totally ready to land a job as a junior developer. The project weeks bring another dimension to the bootcamp. We work as a team and we give our all to deliver the best possible app ! It was an amazing experience ! I am proud to be an alumni now :)

Le Wagon Paris Bootcamp was an incredible experience. I left my previous company to learn how to code and have more technical skills. At the end of the day, thanks to the high quality of the program and teachers, this bootcamp gave me the opportunity... Read More to create and learn the code easier than I expected. More than a program that enables you to learn how to code, I recommend it should you seek a way to learn how to be a developer.

After 3 years as a pedagogical engineer and chief product officer in a Parisian start-up, I decided to attend Le Wagon Web Development full-time Bootcamp in April 2021, in order to change my profession to Web Developer. During my ten weeks at Le Wagon,... Read More in addition to mastering back-end programming languages like Ruby, I also acquired some front-end skills like flexbox, CSS grid, and ES6. Two weeks after graduating from Le Wagon, I found my first job as a Back-End Developer. I am very grateful to Le Wagon for changing my life in only two months.
