Le Wagon

I joined Le Wagon because I wanted to make a career change after studying and working in Business. I completed the Web Development bootcamp and what I found was an experience that I fell in love with. Everyone was very welcoming and I felt right at home... Read More from the first day in this international community. Initially, classes are very structured and this helped me get a great understanding of core concepts such as Ruby. Once you get the basics down the bootcamp becomes more open ended and you are able to express yourself when you do your final projects. What I loved the most about this course is that by the end I felt like I had the skills and knowledge to build my own Web Application from scratch. I would also highly recommend the Career Week at end of the course which really gave me clarity with the world of Web development and what I need to do to move forward.

J'ai effectué cette formation de Septembre à Décembre 2021. Une formation complète que je recommande vivement à tous ceux qui veulent découvrir et maitriser les bases du code. Des professeurs et TA (Teachers Assistants) compétents, patients et à l'écoute.... Read More Une équipe "gestion" au top, qui organise de nombreux évènements en complément, et qui facilite grandement la cohésion de groupe.

I decided to take le Wagon's Web Development full-time course after seeing that there was a course in presence in Munich. The level of the course was always challenging but never impossible. You can tell that a lot of experience has gone into planning... Read More the course content. The teachers and other staff at Le Wagon made the 9 weeks a wonderful experience that I would not want to miss. In the last three weeks you can put everything you have learned into practice in the so-called Project Weeks and develop and launch products yourself, to see what you can learn in such a short time and then also implement was just great. Even with the covid-19 situation the team found a solution to provide a hybrid model with remote and presence to give the best possible learning environment.

I joined Le Wagon to get to know the world of coding and tech. I felt that my university did not teach me the needed tech skills for today's economy, and I wanted to change that quickly. The Bootcamp was the perfect place to do that, and I'd do it again... Read More in a split second. All of us have learned more in those nine weeks than I could have ever imagined. If you think about it, do it! It is only nine weeks of your time, and you most probably won't regret it.

I joined Le Wagon having done just a few free coding courses online and even though I enjoyed it, I was not feeling super confident that I could actually be good at it. But 9 weeks later, I had completed several challenges, created two apps with my team... Read More and meet many new friends. I am incredibly happy that I decided to do this course, the staff is so supportive, you really feel seen and heard by everyone. I now feel ready and confident to tackle my new job as a web developer, so if you are thinking about doing a career change, I strongly recommend Le Wagon.

If you want to make your first serious forays into coding, look no further. The full time web dev course delivers like no other. I've done some coding in the past but never had enough time or guidance to make a worthwhile app. When I looked for coding... Read More Bootcamps, I was almost shocked by the sheer number of and high ratings of Le Wagon. The numbers didn't lie: if you want to learn the basics of web dev and touch on a plethora of modern day programming basics (well, at least using the very user friendly Ruby and a tiny bit of JS), this course will be worth your time and money. What are the weaknesses? Sure, more JS would have been nice in general. Ruby may not the single hottest language right now. Some TAs are (much) better than others. Maybe 3 weeks of project work is a bit much. However, I think Le Wagon stands out because of three things and I expect them to get better, not worse over time: 1. Teaching materials are EXCELLENT. The challenges are truly hard. I went to a pretty good university (by UK standards) and am pretty logically minded I would say. I finished all mandatory challenges during the days (with TA help, one exception), just about. Never finished all optional challenges during the day 2. The teachers / TAs are great overall. Very knowledgeable, super helpful on strange and beyond-coursework borderline-CS questions (of which I personally had a lot), even and particularly during project week when you can do projects that really push the boundaries of the course 3. Le Wagon offers great value to students with comprehensive libraries of useful webdev tools and additional lectures which you can still access afterwards Sure, bear in mind that this is a 8-week course not a 4-year computer science degree, and you're unlikely going to be the next Jobs after this bootcamp alone. However, if you have decided to do A bootcamp, I think LW is a great place to start

Joining Le Wagon must have been one of the best decisions in my life! It's unreal how much you can learn in only 9 weeks. The completely hands-on approach and fast pace of a bootcamp are different to everything we’ve seen before. The teachers and TAs... Read More were a huge support. Knowing most of them had been through the bootcamp themselves was a huge support as they knew the struggles we were all going through. Their patience and effort to explain us every single thing were impressive. Having a buddy system and pairing up with different students everyday was super cool, as we got to meet and work with different people, but also because it's much more efficient, as you end up explaining things to each other and figuring the challenges out together. One of the reasons I joined Le Wagon was the product-oriented approach they have. Being able to build two products from scratch in small teams, going from the UX/UI design, to the development behind it and finally pitching it on our Demo Day was amazing. The atmosphere at the campus in Cologne was just great, the staff is amazing and the views from our office are the best. I would recommend Le Wagon to anyone looking for a coding bootcamp. And of course would recommend Cologne if you're looking to do it in Germany - the vibe of the city is awesome! 🚀

Because I wanted to change my career, I decided that the best way would be to go all in and enroll in a bootcamp. Coming form the hospitality industry, my technical skills were almost nonexistent. At fist I was a bit skeptical about the teaching technique.... Read More What do you mean I have lecture in the morning an then I just do exercises with a colleague for the rest of the day? Well...I soon realized that it's actually very nice to learn like this. If you are stuck you can check with your buddy and if you are really stuck the TA will help you figure things out, not just give you the correct answer. I had an amazing time during the bootcamp and I am very happy that I choose this path!

After 3 years working in Investment Banking, I decided to update my skill-set with some tools that I could use for whatever my next professional challenge would be. That’s why I decided to study Data Science. Choosing Le Wagon was a no-brainer for me... Read More since it is the best coding school & their approach was exactly what I needed - a hands-on Bootcamp where you can learn by doing challenges. In addition, some key competitive advantages I’d like to highlight are i) the Teaching Assistant support during challenges - that makes the difference if you're stuck with something you've never done before, ii) the continuous update of the lectures, challenges & program overall to be up-to-date in the field, and iii) their product-oriented approach - that makes the Bootcamp a pretty good approximation of the real working challenges, and hence, an easier landing in your next job :)

I have recently finished 10 weeks with Le wagon London. I loved every moment of it (even the challenging parts). The course taught me so much in so little time. From the fundamentals of object-orient programming to more advanced frameworks (Ruby on Rails)... Read More to finally presenting our very own fully functioning web app. Le Wagon offers lots of support every step of the way and even helps with sorting your new CV and really everything you need to know about getting a job in tech. I highly recommend this course as the perfect stepping stone for switching careers and transitioning into tech.
