Le Wagon

I overall enjoyed my experience at Le Wagon in Buenos Aires. The Kitt platform is very helpful and provides you with almost all you need. Then the Teaching asisstants are always here to help you in case you have any question about the challenges. It's... Read More overall a very well-conceived bootcamp and would recommend if you want to change career paths or develop some more technical skills

I love solving problems and I have this belief that technology can help scale good impact. Although I was a business person with almost no code knowledge, I wanted to co-found a tech start-up for a social cause I was passionate about and it took me a... Read More year to dabble on no-code and fumble on my own. I tried looking for tech-co-founders and found strong and potential ones but even after reading multiple articles and watching videos, I realized that I couldn't seem to fully grasp their thinking, jargon, and their motivations, and although I have high respect for tech builders, I wasn't confident about how to work with them. After an initial eye-opening consultation about admissions, I decided to push and enroll. PROS: 1) Worth the time, energy, and money - Packed learning every session and while it felt like I had info overload several times, especially at the beginning, I felt all learnings coming to life during project weeks. - I felt I missed quite a lot during a month-long travel to a different country which was 2 months before project weeks would start. So before the project weeks, I reviewed lessons again, dropped one commitment (work), and had to focus on this study to fully maximize the experience. I don't think people need to drop work and this is extremely possible to balance with Full-time work especially if you don't have other hats too (I'm a mom) 2) Very supportive community (Teachers, Teaching assistants, Large Local and Global Active Alumni network I can tap into.) It is a psychologically safe place to ask for help when learning during and after boot camp 3) Creative energy is strong - Unlike traditional learning environments, the focus is not on "winning" but rather on helping each other while focusing on personal growth. It felt like it was designed that way. - I highly recommend watching a recording or attending a Demo Day. When I watched it in person before, I was impressed and I couldn't imagine myself being able to code a product but after a few months, I could and I did! (Of course, with the help of a team~) 4) Project Week when taken seriously as if building your own MVP is a very strong hands-on experience to coding and working with a tech team - I could have an idea of Product delivery and insights about how to go during stand-up meetings and tech project management, learn about possible pitfalls and what could motivate the team, and a good introduction or foundation of front-end, back-end, design-to-code knowledge. - Pitching was a good experience to refine my idea with Teachers and to know the motivation of tech builders in the future. Possibility of being able to build my own MVP - I could and I am so grateful to my team for their patience and enthusiasm in building it with me. - There is a chance to work together on a first project before the final project! Since I could not be the project manager for that, I could have the chance to learn as a team member fully focused on coding! But I could also observe my feelings, thoughts, and how I work which eventually was super helpful with leading and gluing the team together during the Final Project. 5) There is a career week - I could hear about Startup founders hiring and connect with them too to gather insights. - Although the focus is on Job Hunting, there was a talk about start-ups and freelancing too. For founders, we could book for career consulting time to chat about Entrepreneurship. 6) They offer free courses! I took it a year before just to check. It is a great beginner's experience just to test the waters or see if my brain capacity can handle it. haha. But honestly, the boot camp will be deeper and way more comprehensive. CONS: - Might be difficult to balance time if you have many roles (Parenthood, Work, Business, Study) as you need to watch lectures ahead and are expected to do the challenges together during sessions. However, the buddy system during sessions is extremely helpful. And, basically, balancing all these while learning hard and smart is a good test or practice for grit and persistence. :) - If part-time online, you may feel like you missed out if classmates hang out after class. So, I highly recommend going to campus if you can, especially on project weeks~!! And to fly and be in person on Project Demo Day!

I think the answer to my question is a resounding yes. The course was completely worth it. It would've taken me a year or more to self-learn what we covered in 9 weeks. The teachers were not only knowledgeable, but they were also great mentors. They were... Read More able to point me in the right direction whenever I got stuck. I also got access to an amazing community. I feel confident that I will be able to transition into a tech role very soon with the knowledge I gained at the boot camp. If you're a Japanese resident, I highly suggest looking into the Hello Work subsidy because it'll cover more than 60% of the tuition and is available to anyone who qualifies.

Le Wagon it's totally worth it! I was part of the full-time Data Science & AI program. It was undoubtedly a very intense experience, but very enriching. The technical material, the platform, the teachers and the environment created in the classroom favor... Read More in every way greater learning for those who want to learn. On the other hand, the modality of 20% theoretical classes and 80% coding allowed me to get closer to what is done today in the labor market. The teachers are 100% available to guide you on this path. One of the most valuable things that Le Wagon has is its community, and belonging to it can open many doors in the tech world.

I just graduated Le wagon Amsterdam (9 weeks full time), i had an amazing experience there. i was working as a baker for 16 years and decided to transition my career into web development. It's super intensive course which every week i learned a lot of... Read More new skills. The day starts with a 1.5-2 hours lecture, and then most of the day is practice skills, coding challenges, and learn how to work with a buddy, everyday is another classmate. I got a lot of help from the TA's, that walked with me trough the challenges. In the last 3 weeks we worked on 2 project for our portfolio in teams of 4, and practiced everything that we learned. It is very friendly for people who don't have any background, and there was a really nice safe environment to learn new things. The staff in Amsterdam are nice and amazing people, and it really feels like a community. there is no job guarantee they have a huge network you can use. super recommended!
