Fantastic experience!
I followed the bootcamp of La Capsule to learn how to code, I can say that it was a really fulfilling experience. Before the program, I had just graduated with degrees in law and English, two fields that have nothing to do with web development. However, I have always been drawn to the world of programming. The prospect of a 5-year engineering school (with mathematics and physics) quickly discouraged me.

Before the program, I had just graduated with degrees in law and English, two fields that have nothing to do with web development. However, I have always been drawn to the world of programming. The prospect of a 5-year engineering school (with mathematics and physics) quickly discouraged me.
But thanks to La Capsule, I discovered that coding was closer to learning a language. If, like me, the notion of algorithms makes you uncomfortable, you can totally overcome it with La Capsule. I learned a lot and even though it's still not my favorite part, I made a lot of progress.
The format of each day is well organized. Classes start at 9am and last one or two hours. You then spend the rest of the day working on projects with your buddy. You are free to make your own arrangements for lunch, but you must be present at 2:00 pm (and 9:00 am!) in order to register. At around 5pm, the teacher comes back to correct the exercises of the day. The teacher remains, it should be noted, fully available throughout the day if you need help.
This organization encourages independent learning. You will always try to work on your own before asking your buddy and then the teacher for help if the problem persists. The atmosphere in the group was fantastic, with a true learning-centered atmosphere and a deep interest in the culture of the digital world.
La Capsule focuses on learning JavaScript (with HTML and CSS), ReactJS, and React Native, which is a nice set of skills to put on one's resume. One of the advantages of this formation is that you can take an exam in order to obtain a level 6 RNCP title (professional title validated by the state in France) in web development, which can be a real bonus to start your career.
As for the pace of the training, I didn't find it that demanding. For those who are fresh out of school, I think you will adapt relatively well. It goes pretty fast, though, so you have to be sure that you're getting the notion of the day, that you're asking all the questions that you want to ask during the day. The next day, you will certainly discover a completely different notion and forget your difficulties of the previous day. Reviewing the courses during the weekend can help a lot.
In short, La Capsule was a very good experience. If you are looking to learn how to code and develop professional web development skills, I highly recommend this training. - Gabriel LebrunStudent • Full Stack Web Developer - In Person • MarseilleMar 31, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great bootcamp
Excellent bootcamp with a friendly atmosphere and a competent teaching team.
The program is solid and well designed.
The programming languages / frameworks taught are current and powerful.
I highly recommend it for those who want to make a first step in web development. - Bastien EsquirosGraduate • Full Stack Web Developer - In Person • BordeauxMar 29, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
A solid bootcamp.
I was a student of La Capsule in Bordeaux.
The positives:
1. Obtaining an RNCP title equivalent to bac+3 in only 2 months.
2. The technologies taught are relevant.
3. The project-based learning format allows for rapid progress.
4. A qualified teacher who listens to you and who can potentially help you find a job.

Negative points:
1. The format is not for everyone, it is very fast-paced, which could discourage/stress/frustrate many.
2. The cost of the training (excluding financing, but it is still competitive with the prices of other trainings)
3. It is a fullstack training, but still more focused on the front end (not really a negative point but rather a clarification)
Conclusion:
In short, this is a very good training and surely the best option in Bordeaux for people looking to get a first certification in the dev world quickly, while acquiring solid skills.
Be careful, it is only a first step in the dev world and even if you learn a lot, on other subjects your knowledge will remain limited. You have to continue learning on your own and with the masterclasses offered by La Capsule at the end of the batch. You have to review the notions seen the same day at home in the evening, and I also advise you to understand the basics of algos and JS before starting.
No, recruiters won't fight to employ you after a bootcamp, in my opinion, it's still very hard to get a permanent job or even to start a freelance career, and even hard to find an internship or a work-study program (potentially due to the current economic situation).
In short, if you are lucid about what your post-batch situation will be, if you are not afraid of overworking yourself for two months and if you want to learn quickly, go for it!

Perfect for me
My experience at the capsule was perfect for me. I was able to increase my web development skills with an exercise and project based methodology. I have now found a job and I am most happy to have made this choice. If I had to do it again I would do it without hesitation. The main asset of this school is the languages learned: nextJS and nodeJS. - Guerin gwenaelStudent • Full Stack Web Developer - In Person • LyonJan 05, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

To achieve this, La Capsule relies on a project-based pedagogy, which allows us to put our knowledge into practice through a lot of small and very interesting projects. The selected teacher is also very experienced and explains the concepts well. The Ariane learning platform is also very good and we are quickly autonomous on it. And in general, La Capsule team is very competent on all its subjects, which was really appreciable. I really enjoyed sharing all these moments, from the beginning to the end, from the application process to the end of my training. I would like to thank the whole team for their hard work!
It is important to mention again that this is a bootcamp, so it is a very intensive course and you will get the most out of it by preparing yourself as much as possible before starting these 10 weeks.
In conclusion, I chose to train at La Capsule because it was the bootcamp that was most recommended to me and I now recommend it to myself. - Christophe CRAVO LEOPOLDOStudent • ParisJan 02, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Very satisfied
After having started a reconversion as a web integrator, I decided to switch to fullstack web development. I was fortunate to benefit from La Capsule's Talent Program. This programme is in fact a POEI entirely financed by Pôle Emploi, which means that you have to get an offer letter before the bootcamp. The recruiters therefore evaluate us on other skills than technical ones and then trust La Capsule to train us as web developers.

The recruiters therefore evaluate us on other skills than technical ones and then trust La Capsule to train us as web developers. After a lot of preparatory work and several interviews, with La Capsule and the companies, I was finally taken on block release. The Talent Program is really promising and participates in the integration of women in Tech, inclusiveness being a subject that is important to me, I really liked the commitment of La Capsule.
I have just finished my training (batch 59 in Paris) and I am very satisfied. From a pedagogical point of view, the training is intense but deals with a lot of aspects of the web developer's job that I would not have been able to deal with alone. There are moments of doubt, but we are supported emotionally to overcome them. I particularly liked the buddy system which allows us to progress, either by explaining the concept to one of our classmates, or by working with someone who will be able to compensate and help us progress in our shortcomings.Another positive point is the automation of tests. When we do a dev training, it is difficult to give feedback on the work of each one but La Capsule has set up a system of tests which allows us to have a feedback on what we have produced. I found it really useful.In conclusion, the training is complete. You have to start with a good base but the programme allows you to go deeper and to surpass yourself. La Capsule gave me the chance to continue my reorientation and I am happy with the opportunity they gave me! - Chloé RoudotStudent • Full Stack Web Developer - In Person • ParisNov 27, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
