Le Wagon

I had a magnificent educational experience at Le Wagon in Cologne. The hands-on approach of the courses gives you the opportunity to practice with multiple coding challenges and work on real-life projects, allowing you to build up your coding skills.... Read More The most essential aspect is that you have the outstanding support and assistance of the staff and teachers who walk you through each lecture and coding challenge. It is a life-changing experience because even if you have little or no coding experience they take you from zero to hero! I highly recommend joining Le Wagon!

“Change your life, learn to code.” At this point the motto is almost an inside joke. For me, it is 100% true though. I joined Le Wagon to finally do something that is actually interesting and because, frankly, I couldn’t do it on my own - I’ve tried.... Read More Having this structure, a singular focus every day, a super well thought out curriculum and tons of support from the Teachers and TA’s is a total game changer. To me, this is hands down the best way to learn. And learn, you will. It is truly insane what we were able to build in such a short time. Also, having a group of peers that struggle alongside you and the absolutely lovely staff here in Cologne made it a family-like atmosphere pretty much from day one. And the wider Le Wagon community is super cool as well. So many great people and so many opportunities. It really is amazing. For anyone wanting change direction in life and get in to coding, i would recommend without hesitation!

The pace of the course is very fast in order to cover a wide variety of topics within the 9-week time frame. For this reason I would recommended the course for people who are at least somewhat computer savvy. I really cannot overstate how import the support... Read More of the teachers and staff is to enable this rapid pace. Many people try to learn data science on their own, using online resources, but without proper teachers they end up stuck or progressing very slowly. Le Wagon enables you to achieve in a few weeks what without guidance would take you years.

I had been trying to self learn python for months, and was making some progress, but not as much as I wanted to so I thought it was time to finally do a bootcamp. Le Wagon Data Science bootcamp in Lisbon was a great way to learn very quickly and get a... Read More really good overview of all the major topics of data science, and really get us familiar with doing challenges. I feel much more comfortable with python now, and I'm honestly impressed that I could go from just thinking of Machine Learning as a tech buzz word, to actually doing my project on machine learning of image detection and classification of trash/recycling. The teachers and TA's were awesome, and were always willing to answer questions or find the answer if they didn't know. Joao Calem, our batch manager, was especially awesome! He even went beyond the scope of the bootcamp and organized us to go to his family vineyard to work for the final project week, which was not something I was expecting, and was absolutely amazing. My batch turned out to be 9 people and most were not living in Lisbon, so it meant there were built in friends and we really got along well together, even though we came from very different backgrounds. Overall I'm impressed with how much we were able to learn in 9 weeks, and found the bootcamp to be very good use of my time and money.

Amazing experience, the campus is cozy and comfortable, the staff and the teachers are super friendly and supportive. I learned a lot, and had so much fun there. Le wagon helped me to move from a beginner stage where I'm a research assistant doing basic... Read More data analysis, to doing a full project where I built a machine learning tool to predict violence at demonstrations. Ps: in the options there is no data science course in Cologne campus, but it exists, so I had to choose Web development

I studied Industrial Engineering in Madrid. Once I finished, I started a Masters straight away, I liked what I was doing, but it was too theoretical, so I decided to look for something that was more practical and where I could see the result of my doings... Read More with my own eyes. I found Le Wagon and all the reviews I read were great, so I decided to try it during my summer vacations of the Masters. I have just finished the bootcamp and I can assure you that I have accomplished my goal of moving away from theory and going into practice. You have to learn everything with trial and error, but with a very well thought-out methodology behind that Le Wagon provides (Trust me, it is really fun if you like challenges). Right now, I am sure that I will be coding in my career because I love it and it is one of the most useful things I have ever learn. I can really recommend Le Wagon to everyone that wants to learn because, if it is your own choice you will not be disappointed.

Seriously, this bootcamp helped me kickstart my career as a webdeveloper. With the great help of very skilled staff I learned a lot in the course of just three months. If you are thinking yeah that's a load of... well, my friend, I managed to land a job... Read More with the knowledge I gained there in less than two months. If you do this bootcamp, don't blame me for your success thereafter.

After many years in the classical music industry I decided to change my career path towards tech and coding. I did the Full-stack Web Development bootcamp (part time) and it has been probably the best decision I’ve made career wise. It is very well structured... Read More and the teachers were always very helpful. What stands out for me the most is that, a part of all the good resources and endless learning material, at Le Wagon they really want you to succeed. We had a lot of networking events, Get Me Hired events, tech talks, a Career Week where they help you prepare for the job search or freelancing after the bootcamp... etc. I really enjoyed it! Just one month after finishing my bootcamp I landed a job as a junior software engineer in a big company!

For a long time, I was striving to learn web development tools by myself, but I did not have such a significant boost that would immediately move me up the career ladder. As the 2022 hit, I decided to undergo Le Wagon full-stack web development bootcamp... Read More in Amsterdam in purpose to put myself into an intensive 9 weeks training in which I either sink or swim. Definitely being amongst highly knowledgeable and professional teachers brought the change. I was continuously learning the best web development practices and I was striving to be just as good as my teachers. As the result, I wrote my first production-level code, completed all phases of the software development lifecycle and created two full-stack projects. The beauty of the Le Wagon bootcamp is that they convey knowledge with real passion and they make sure that every student gets help. Additionally, by undertaking career week workshops, I got all set for job hunting, I felt greater confidence as my network expanded and I acquired soft skills. Le Wagon bootcamp really ignited the fire in my professional development very intensively and interestingly. It led my way to become a junior web developer in one of the big four companies.

I enrolled in the Web Development (Part-Time) course in 2022. The bootcamp is fast-paced but the teachers were very helpful and patient, they provide you with all the tools needed to kickstart your career as a developer. I also really appreciated the... Read More career support that was provided!
