Le Wagon

Looking back at the bootcamp, I do not regret the decision and loved every moment of it! Learning how to problem-solve, think logically and collaborate with a diverse mix of colleagues and teachers, Le Wagon has helped me build an amazing platform to... Read More enter the world of tech! Highly recommended!

Before starting Le Wagon, I was working as a digital project manager. I felt limited by my understanding of the technologies whenever we were searching for solutions or simple options. I had been searching for an academic formation in order to gain more... Read More knowledge about coding. I had tried the online tutorials and I had started a University certificate in digital information management, but none of these options were really allowing me to understand the workflow, the headaches and the day to day life of a web developer. I had heard about web bootcamp, but I never had two months off in order to subscribe. I was on the hunt to have a concrete, technical course that would allow me to understand the limits of the technologies and their possibilities. Then, I found out that Le Wagon was also available part-time! When I started Le Wagon bootcamp, I was anxious about how hard it would be, would I know enough in the beginning? You don’t need any background, you just need to have the motivation to learn, that’s it. We were all from different backgrounds and that was so refreshing! Every session, we worked on difficult exercises with the help of a buddy and the help of the TAs. Time would fly by so fast. It was nice to feel so focus on something. At the end, we had the chance to pitch our idea and build two projects as a team. One of these was JoinCodeBuddies, an app for new developers who wanted to find buddies to work as a team. We had a real taste of what it’s to be in a team, developing a product and launching it. During the bootcamp, I felt so good, especially because learning, acquiring new knowledge made me feel like I was growing but at the same time, I was meeting nice, motivated, hard working buddies. It was a great investment for my career path, I feel more confident on many levels.

My main goal to join Le Wagon was to learn more about programming to better communicate with our in-house developers. However, after joining the program I realized there was much more to it than just learning how to code. All the other students and especially... Read More the teachers brought amazing energy each day and really gave motivation me do learn and work as hard as I could during class and in between. Thanks to the part time class I was able to attend the course without too much disruption of my normal work life and while it wasn't always easy to do both at the same time, I would definitely do it again.

This was an amazing journey! With knowledge of web development, I wanted to specialize in Data Science. After trying to learn on my own I enrolled at Le Wagon. It was an amazing decision. The program is fast-paced but so exciting! The curriculum is built... Read More such as you are never lost. The staff is always there to help you when you get stuck! We've learned so much in such a short period of time. I would recommend the Le Wagon Bootcamp to anyone who is wanting a change of career, looking to upskill themselves or simply wanting a challenge. When you enter Le Wagon you enter an entire community you can rely on!

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.
