Le Wagon

Le Wagon's bootcamp has a great methodology, with 1.5-hour lectures each day followed by hands-on challenges to really test your skills. Each day's content builds on the previous one, making it a fast-paced experience.
I don’t just recommend it to everyone—I... Read More genuinely believe anyone involved in "business" should take it. Even if you don’t plan to switch to full-time development, it’s invaluable for understanding the boundaries of technology.
You’ll finish the bootcamp with a well-rounded foundation to build your own monolithic prototypes in under a week, as well as the confidence and ability to learn new topics with ease.
One thing to keep in mind is that this bootcamp is designed for people with no prior experience or knowledge of the subject (i.e., literally zero). If you already have some background in tech, you’ll still gain a lot, but there might be moments of frustration. Fortunately, there are extra challenges available—just stay calm and set aside some additional time to tackle them!
Overall, signing up for this bootcamp was the best decision I made in 2024!

I am not a fan of online courses, but the follow-up and dynamics of the course make it useful and enjoyable. As mentioned, the amount of time used on coding per day is the best, making it practical and theoretical enough.
the patience of the teachers... Read More is amazing and it covered the learning for people that already know about it and complete beginners.

The Data Science bootcamp has exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The content is carefully structured and covers everything from the fundamentals to advanced topics.
Its practical approach, coupled with real-life cases, makes the concepts easy to... Read More learn.
Without a doubt, a transformative experience for anyone interested in Data Science

Pros:
The program provides an intense and well-structured curriculum that covers essential Data Science topics. The teaching staff is knowledgeable and supportive, offering guidance both during and outside of class hours. The sense of community, both within... Read More the cohort and on Slack, is incredibly encouraging, creating a collaborative learning environment. The hands-on approach with real-world challenges helped me solidify my understanding of complex concepts.

Cons:
The transition into project weeks was a bit chaotic, and the prework didn't fully prepare me for the pace and difficulty of the program. Additionally, some group dynamics could have been better managed to ensure active participation from all team members.

Overall Experience:
Despite the challenges, the program was transformative. I gained invaluable technical skills, learned to collaborate effectively, and developed a new mindset for solving problems. It’s an experience I would definitely recommend to anyone ready to step out of their comfort zone and dive into the world of Data Science.

My overall community experience has been incredibly positive and enriching. I’ve felt supported, engaged, and inspired by the diverse group of individuals I’ve interacted with. These activities have not only strengthened my technical skills but also created... Read More meaningful relationships within the community.

Lo que más me gustó fue que la metodología me permitía avanzar de forma que tenía que retarme a mí mismo para buscar la información y ser creativo para encontrar las soluciones
Una experiencia muy muy bonita y completa donde aprendí herramientas que me... Read More ponen a la vanguardia en mi entorno laboral
Es un bootcamp muy completo y con una metodología llamativa que te permite aprender y ponerlo en práctica constantemente

Como ventaja principal destaco la calidad de los contenidos que se aprenden en el bootcamp, la calidad de los profesores y sus amplios conocimientos y a la vez la generosidad de enseñar todo sin guardarse nada.
Como desventaja siento que me quedaron varios... Read More challenge importantes por hacer y que si bien los puedo realizar , no tendré el apoyo que me gustaría y que recibía durante el cursado.

The course methodology strongly focused on practice was what I liked most about the bootcamp
It was a beautiful experience where I learned both technical and soft skills by working with many people through different challenges.
I found the staff to be very... Read More motivated and always seeking the students' opinions to continue improving those aspects that one can point out.

One of the highlights of this bootcamp for me was how much emphasis was placed on practical challenges. Every lecture was followed by exercises that really tested our understanding of the material. The hands-on experience helped me apply what I was learning... Read More right away, solidifying concepts in a way that lectures alone wouldn't have. It was clear that the program prioritized not just teaching but ensuring we had the practical skills needed to succeed.

While I had an overwhelmingly positive experience with this bootcamp, one area that could be improved is the buddy system. Most of the time, I appreciated it because it exposed me to different perspectives on tackling challenges, and I often learned about errors and solutions that I hadn’t encountered on my own. It also helped me practice troubleshooting in a collaborative environment, which sharpened my problem-solving skills. However, there were a few instances where the pairing didn’t work as smoothly, often due to mismatched learning speeds or expectations, which could be frustrating and slow down progress.

I was very happy and impressed with my time at Le Wagon. The course is structed incredibly well, starting with core programming basics and ending with combining everything you learnt throughout the course with the Rails framework, as well as building... Read More a few different projects. Of course, a bootcamp can't teach you everything as they only have a limited time with you, so some parts felt a little rushed. I don't think this is Le Wagon's fault though, and I was pretty impressed with how they managed to cram all that they did into the course. What I really loved is that they taught you a lot of best coding practices and principles, as well as giving lots of advice along the way.

The teachers are very knowledgeable and were always so happy to go above and beyond. I asked many questions, even more advanced topics early on, and my questions were always followed up, even if it meant a TA sending me a message later with links and extra information.
I came into the bootcamp with prior coding experience with C# and building video games as a hobby, so my main concern before it started was whether it would be challenging enough for me. I was definitely wrong, even in the beginning weeks they had optional challenges that really put my skills to the test.

I also loved the vibe and culture within the school. Every Saturday they bought drinks for everyone and we did live coding together. That, along with the buddy system, it really encouraged everyone to help each other and foster great friendship. The school really pushed us to be ambitious, especially with the final project and there was a lot of help and encouragement along the way.

If you're on the fence, I highly recommend pulling the trigger and giving it a go. Especially if you are eligible for the HelloWork subsidiary as you can get a substantial amount of money back after. Lastly, on the topic of finances. I was really impressed with how flexible they were. They were happy for me to pay in installments, and were really relaxed about it. I paid the whole amount on the final month (minus the deposit of course), which really helped me manage the cost.
