Le Wagon

I took the 9 week full stack development course in Bali. It was a great experience, where we learnt all the necessary skills to get a first job in tech. The staff were super engaging and supportive all throughout the entire course. I will say you must... Read More be motivated and you will only get out what you put in but if you work hard and stay focused, this course has plenty of value to offer and will no doubt put you in a position to get you where you want to be.

Working as a journalist in the crypto industry for two years, I wanted to make a change and have more solid tech skills, so I decided to join Le Wagon, Awith 9 weeks of intensive web development bootcamp, I now have a solid understanding of and am equipped... Read More with all the tools and technologies of a full stack web developer. The whole learning process is beyond words, amazing teacher system so you can always find someone to ask questions, and every day you get to work with different classmates, which is very helpful to get used to a teamwork culture. Thanks to Le Wagon I'm now starting a new and exciting developer journey!

From InsurTech to full-stack developer, I have reinforced my 10+ years of project management skills in the insurtech industry by becoming a certified software engineer thanks to Le Wagon, batch#882. The courses are intense, you are "forced" since the... Read More beginning to have a clean code, exercices challenging. Everything is well organized day after day, teachers / teacher assistants where amazing and all in a relaxed and studious atmosphere, especially here in Bali. After Le Wagon you feel been part of a family, and they don't let you in the wild once you received your certificate, which is reassuring! Definitely, go for it!

Choosing the Web Development bootcamp at Le Wagon Madrid was one of the best decisions I made. I decided to learn coding because I founded a tech start-up without really understanding all the technical work that was behind it, which is why this was a... Read More perfect opportunity to go from 0 to 100 in only 9 weeks, and it definitely met my expectations. And not only that, I also loved everything I learnt and now I can't wait to start bringing my ideas into life. I felt welcomed by the most amazing staff since the first day. They did everything they could to help us make the most of this experience, learn, engage with the rest of the students and feel as a big family by the end of the bootcamp. Le Wagon proposes a buddy system that allows students to work in pairs and teams, which is a perfect reflection of real life. The teachers' mission is not to provide us with easy solutions, but to teach us how to think and face real situations. Finally, the huge community we belong to from the moment we enroll, gives all the students endless opportunities to keep connecting, learning, helping each other and being up to date with any news, trends and job openings. The more you learn, the more you realize how long the way still is, but this is a perfect starting point to train your brain and prepare for a new path. A perfect match for anyone looking to reinvent themselves.

“I had been working in customer service and retail for years until I realized that it was not what I wanted to do. On a couple friends’ advice (who are developers now thanks to the bootcamp) I joined Le Wagon and it has been one of the best learning journeys... Read More of my life. We learn how to code and about what goes on behind the scenes of any website or app. It’s fascinating! We also get to build our own projects with a team and the teachers’ help. We are never alone and we never feel helpless thanks to the structure and pedagogy.

Very intense and very good learning experience. I came with some limited statistical knowledge from university and a desire to learn more about it and go deeper into machine learning/deep learning topics. I was not disappointed in any way. The content... Read More is very qualitative with some great practical exercises and support from the teachers. It is of course very challenging but with the good attitude and a bit of refreshment of your math knowledge you can go very far ! This bootcamp is an open door to a vast world of continuous learning. It would definitely have been harsh for me to go back studying for a full year, I felt I really optimized my time with Le Wagon: learnt a lot in a short period of time. Go for it !

What I liked most about the course was the ecosystem it has. What I mean, basically everything. The teachers with an incredible willingness to help and make you get the best out of yourself. On the other hand, the structure of the course, you can see... Read More how well thought out it is to be as efficient as possible in three months, with the readings in the morning, the challenges and the key summary in the afternoon to see what of the day. Not to mention the location and the incredible classrooms we have, with the best view and very close to the wave to be able to surf! And finally, the people, the atmosphere that was created with everyone was incredible, very good conversations, activities and new friends for life. I learned a lot from the course but I also took with me very good memories and learning from the people. I leave with the best expectations and energy from the bootcamp, I will take advantage of the network that was created here throughout the course and the different tools they give us to move forward. If I have problems, doubts or need to find opportunities or partners to do business, I will not hesitate to contact the Le Wagon network, I know they will be there for us. One of the best experiences I have ever had. I became a programmer in the best way and in the quickest and most efficient way. And in between I was able to make lifelong friends and practice sports while studying, definitely something to do in life.

Le wagon is a well structured boot camp and can be very intense which is great as it pushes you to your limits. It puts you in a position where you meet and network with people from all over the world which will help you work on projects during and after... Read More the course. I got a much clearer understanding of how the process of building a web application works, something I did not get when I was self studying at home. If anyone is thinking of doing the course, I will say prepare beforehand, do some self study and go for it. It will change your life!

I previously worked in IT before starting this course; but in Support and Administration, and wanted a change in my life, from working a 9-5 in an office, to be able to pick up my laptop and travel the world. The tools and information I have learned and... Read More have now have prepared me to do just that, I know that there is still a long road ahead to go before I can complete all my goals in life, but this course has been an absolute game changer for my life, the teaching staff, the course material and the life long friends, some of which I now call my family, and connections through the incredible Alumni channels I have access to now have set me up to be able to look at a website and completely understand how I could build it from scratch. My only drawback is that it ended so soon - I started to enjoy going into class and working in pairs, teams and sometimes alone, which is weird for me because I never enjoyed going to class before, I felt at home with the people in the class, that I had met like-minded individuals that share similar goals to me, and was able to grow with the help of Daniel, Rayhan, Christina and Shania, these teachers; all of which had graduated from the bootcamp, were amazing and very helpful. The course itself is intense, Monday through Friday, 9 till 6, but as it goes on, and you build up knowledge you realise their process and why it works so well. As well as the fact that once you're done coding for the day, you're still in Bali! The local life here is incredible, the people are so friendly, and the food is amazing, I've completely change the way I live whilst out here, from what I eat to when I wake up, I joined a gym and tried my hand at surfing (wasn't the best surfer in the batch by a long shot but caught my first wave on my birthday and totally understand the reason its so popular). I couldn't recommend this course, especially here in Bali, more. I truly have had the time of my life and now can continue on moving forward to achieve my goals.

I used to work as a dancer for top ranking international ballet companies for 10 years.. so the idea of changing my life to something so different and daunting as coding was honestly intimidating.. but after visiting the city manager at the campus in... Read More Bali and talking with the students I had no doubt in my mind that I would have full support and be in a great learning environment. The program exceeded my expectations. The material is without a doubt overwhelming at times, but that is the point! Trying to learn programming languages is like trying to drink the ocean. So I just kept in my head what they said from the start, "Trust in the Process". What was most important for me was having the support from my teachers and classmates around me to help keep my head up and above water when the sweat drops started to form on my forehead (by that I mean, when stuff started to get really challenging). Being able to ask for help is so valuable, and my teachers and teaching assistants absolutely rocked. They had on point technical skills and knowing that each of them had completed Le Wagon made it so much easier to relate to them and feel like they understand what we are going through by learning this new material. Aside from tech.. we have got to be the best location in the world here in Bali for work-life balance.. I mean, can you imagine surfing 4 minutes walking distance down the road before class or on your lunch break? Or just being able to swim the warm ocean or have a dip in the pool when you need to clear your mind from a problem that is bringing you down? Not to mention the possibility to eat delicious and healthy food for really cheap! Those types of things made a huge impact on my mental health which was necessary to stay on point and up-beat during the whole bootcamp. I have no doubt that I will be able to land a job WITH CONTINUED SELF EDUCATION AND DILIGENT PRACTICE.. but that is the name of the game! Learning the rest of our lives as developers is to be expected, and that is part of the fun. SEND IT!!!
