| | Aleksandr Kravchenko | The LeWagon course is more than just a coding bootcamp, It's one of the best things I've done and I would recommend it to anyone considering a career in tech! It was a friendly, fun, and supportive environment and during my time there I felt that the trainers and everyone involved in running the course wanted the students to do well. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience: the wonderful trainers; the team of students; the course content; the structure of the course (love the alternating project and theory weeks as it helps you solidify the concepts and build up a great portfolio); the small class size; and the great place you get to study. Overall I really enjoyed everything I learnt and made some friends; and even though I attended having barely written any code before and from a totally different career path it prepared me for my first developer job. |
| | Anuar Mukhambetzhanov | I was extremely pleased to join Le Wagon Istanbul because it allowed me to save a lot of time and avoid the hassle of learning to code by myself. Furthermore, it was an optimal solution in my case because on top of gaining knowledge about web development I also wanted to travel and make new friends, and Istanbul bootcamp had it all. The 9-week program was just perfect for me. During the program what really struck me the most was the mindset that you have while you code, particularly how you solve problems digitally, which is completely different from anything that you've probably done in your life. The best thing is that Le Wagon teaches you how to get the right mindset for programming step by step, which is very helpful. Also, during “Projects Weeks”, where you are supposed to build a completely new startup, I really improved my team-working and project-management skills that I think will be beneficial for anyone who is planning to lead or be part of own/company projects and work in a team environment. On a separate note, Le Wagon Istanbul was extremely welcoming and it really made me feel part of the family. That’s something I really appreciated and related to, because it’s also part of my culture. Again, for me it wasn’t just about coding, it was also about communication, meeting new people, and being in a diverse environment with people coming from different backgrounds. By the way, the very first breakfast that I had at Istanbul's campus was just amazing! That Turkish coffee and delight though! |
| | Alexander Encinas | Prior to the Le Wagon bootcamp, I was working as a mechanical engineer for my entire career. I wanted to make a career change into tech and after doing research and talking with friends already in the tech career I choose Le Wagon to help get into this new world. What I liked the most during the bootcamp was the feeling of accomplishment after a long day of code challenges, the never-ending bug solution researches and the friendly environment. These 9 weeks are intense but filled by rich knowledge that will help people of any background have a first solid step into the tech industry. Le Wagon is also filled of capable teachers and alumni all with different specialties, always ready to give you a hand guide you through difficult bugs. I highly recommend Le Wagon bootcamp for anyone who is looking for a fascinating career or want to learn more about software development. |
