Le Wagon

Hi, my name is Charles ! I am 27 and I was a Mechanical Engineer in a large aeronautic company. That was before Covid-19... When I lost my job, I had a lot of time to think about my future. I ask myself if I really wanted to continue in my professional... Read More field. I used to code (C++, C#) in my school curriculum but it was too academic and I was VERY bad at it. So I was afraid to go back in computer programming. I already knew about Le Wagon thanks to my sister (batch #48). And my girlfriend really motivated me to do it. So I tried ! The coaching is very well run, teachers are engaged and friendly, and the courses are extremely well structured. (from basic to advanced courses) Each student can go at his own speed, the goal is to code as much as possible. But nobody is left behind ! Until the end and after, we are accompanied and motivated to keep coding. The 2 months went by very quickly, it was incredible experience ! Now I continue to code everyday (in a more Front-End path) until I find a job as a Web Developer.

After 6 years in marketing and project management (digital & 3D), I’ve fallen in love with code by working with and get a personal circle of developers & engineers. I was advised to do Le Wagon bootcamp and I’m very glad of my decision to do so ! Le Wagon... Read More is a true experience of learning fast and efficiently the good basics of web programming back & front (full stack), and also a great human experience supported by Le Wagon network - an extremely active community. I hardly recommend it in turn.

I decided to join Le Wagon with the sole purpose of adding a missing critical skill to my toolbox as an engineer: coding. I first heard of it through friends who previously did it and told me to apply without hesitation. Though my batch took place during... Read More the middle of an international pandemic, the team at Le Wagon managed to make the experience incredible and as normal as possible given the circumstances. I now keep an exceptionally good memory of my time at Le Wagon and made some new friends who I think enjoyed the experience as much as I did. I would recommend to anyone who has the opportunity of doing this boot camp to go for it. It was all worth it!

La experiencia académica fue excelente de punta a punta, tanto en nivel como en organización. Pero, para los que tenemos un background en ciencias humanas (y poca ejercitación de pensamiento estructurado), lo académico termina siendo secundario. Lo más... Read More destacable fue el acompañamiento por parte del staff para que la gran experiencia académica sea todavía más didáctica. Otra cuestión a destacar es la versatilidad del programa. Si bien parecería (y efectivamente es así) estar fuertemente orientado a emprendedores, tratando de transmitir ese espíritu; a su vez, el nivel de conocimiento alcanzado te lleva en 9 semanas a un nivel "entry-level-job", es decir, estarás listo para entrar a cualquier empresa del mundo IT con puestos Trainees o Junior. Como si fuera poco, la plataforma en la que se realiza el curso queda disponible de por vida, incluyendo las actualizaciones (de hecho, hace 4 semanas que terminé el bootcamp y ya hay nuevos ejercicios). Así que vas a poder volver a consultar el contenido cuando quieras. Por último (y de lo más valioso para mí), es la comunidad de alumnis a la que te sumas. Ahora estoy conectado con miles de LeWagoners en todo el mundo que están siempre dispuestos a ayudarte a, por ejemplo, buscar un trabajo, solucionar algún problema con tu código, etc. ¡No lo duden, este es su lugar!

I cannot say enough good things about Le Wagon's approach to teaching the fundamentals of coding. It changed my entire conception of how to solve complex problems. Not only that, I feel like having understood how Ruby works, I'm endowed with the tools... Read More to understand and learn other programming languages with much more ease. Its definitely intense, as you'll have to devote 2 entire months to nothing but coding, but its most definitely worth it. If you're looking for a coding bootcamp that will definitely produce results, Le Wagon is it. It took me all of 3 weeks to find a job as Jr Full Stack Web Dev after graduating.

As a complete beginner I would never have imagine reaching the level at which I am at now. In fact, my experience at Le Wagon was more than just hardships and challenges but rather a social and inspiring bootcamp where the learnings calls for fraternity... Read More and cooperation. I am not a born computer programmer but I’ve grasped the fundamentals. I am not especially interested in becoming a programmer but I am now able to understand the functioning of a website as well as its features. Finally, I am not the smartest learner but the practice tools, methodology and teaching is flawless. My two months at Le Wagon’s facility was like taking a fresh bowl of pure air, totally disregarding this unsettling period.

Some years ago, a manager told me that I have an analytical brain and advised me to try coding. I didn’t know anything about it. So I was curious and I started to study by myself, for one year, HTML, CSS and Javascript. I Enjoyed so much, that I decided... Read More to leave my job and jump into a serious learning experience, Le Wagon Bootcamp. I checked many bootcamps before applying, but finally I chose Le Wagon because of the curriculum they offer and the many positive reviews online. Also I had a good feeling about it. After 9 weeks, my initial thoughts were confirmed, I learnt not just the theories, but also how real programmers work, with real projects in team. We used mostly Ruby on Rails for the back-end and Html, CSS and Javascript for the front-end, but we also touched many other technologies. In particular, I worked on a clone of Airbnb based on boats, and a financial app to save money. The experience was incredibly challenging but rewarding, I found myself basically doing a job and solve issues I didn’t even know they existed until some months before. A mention to the method used in this bootcamp: the day starts with a class, followed by many challenges to be solved in pairs or group. All the time, we have the option to ask questions/clarification/explanations/advises to teachers and teacher assistants, who (trust me) are very patient and collaborative. They are a fundamental part of the program, as they constantly make you feel that you are on the right path, and all the doubts you experience are normal, as they did the process before! The whole experience was definitely very positive. Now is time for me to look for a real job!

I attended the part-time course over the last six months at Le Wagon Buenos Aires. The overall experience was great! Teachers and all the staff are brilliant and supportive, always there to help during the hard times. I highly recommend studying at Le... Read More Wagon.

Le Wagon is the best choice that I have ever made in my life until now with my career. I was scared, with thousands of doubts with the program and with myself. Would i be able to make it? I had studied Tourism, I definitely not came from this world. But... Read More finally I had decided to get on board. From the very first moment I had the support from the teachers, from my batch, and from all the material that they give to you from the beginning. When we finished the campus, we could not believe all we have done, from where we have started and how we finished developing two amazing apps all by ourself. Almost 2 months of that, I am now making my firsts steps as Frontend dev in a very important company. I cant believe it, this is just the beginning! If you are in doubt, just do it, it depends on you to change your life and learn to code. :)

Le Wagon provided me with everything I needed to become a Data Scientist. Lead teachers, teaching assistants and drivers were really kind, helpful and proficient when it came to providing guidance and solutions to the different challenges we had to face... Read More throughout the Data Science bootcamp. Plus, the Le Wagon community is also supportive and collaborative with every student or alumni. I would totally recommend this school.
