I chose Le Wagon because of the diversity of people that typically are admitted into this bootcamp both in their experience and in their cultural background. Additionally, I wanted to be a part of a collaborative and supportive network of people always willing to help each other. Le Wagon has offered me all of those: a supportive community where everyone is extremely willing to help even after completion of the bootcamp, including teachers and staff, from any of their campuses throughout the world. The curriculum is great and really, you have to trust the process, because it may seem crazy to think that in such a short period of time you will feel confident in making a web application on your own, but it does happen. Beyond the intensity of the whole learning experience, the buddy system is great: we pair up with other students everyday in order to help each other or get a different perspective on the coding challenges, and the final team project was the cherry on top. All in all, it was a great experience that I am so happy I quit my job for. I feel confident about my coding skills and the bootcamp cares to make sure you are on the right track after graduation by suggesting all the tools and courses that will help you grow further. Le Wagon most definitely does not end at graduation!- Talibov AlaskarGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MontrealJan 04, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Being a translator by profession, when I joined the 9-week intensive web development course at Le Wagon, I had a hard time keeping up with the classes because it was so intensive. I felt a bit lost the first two weeks, having the feeling that I was the only one behind everyone else in the "class". Little by little, you adapt, you take things in hand and you move forward. You have to be able to follow the rhythm, but the teachers, TA (teacher assistants) are very nice and help you when you...Being a translator by profession, when I joined the 9-week intensive web development course at Le Wagon, I had a hard time keeping up with the classes because it was so intensive. I felt a bit lost the first two weeks, having the feeling that I was the only one behind everyone else in the "class". Little by little, you adapt, you take things in hand and you move forward. You have to be able to follow the rhythm, but the teachers, TA (teacher assistants) are very nice and help you when you get stuck during the coding challenges. The bootcamp provides students with immense resources (videos, access to exercises, and their solutions, etc.). The training is indeed expensive, but it's worth it. In the last 2 weeks of the course, you also have projects that you will build from A to Z as a team and present during a DemoDay. At the end of the training, Le Wagon organized the Career week where we had the opportunity to meet some companies. Honestly, I liked my experience at Le Wagon. I would say that Le Wagon is also a great human experience, which allows me to meet people from very different backgrounds. - BenWeb Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonDec 29, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

If you are considering doing a bootcamp, there are much much better options out there, also teaching Ruby is probably not the best curriculum as most jobs are in JS right now. - Sara RahaliGraduate • Coding Bootcamp Madrid • MadridDec 28, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
A life-changing experience!
After my Bachelor in Business Engineering, I wasn’t sure of what to do and I didn’t want to fall into that ‘become-a-consultant’ kind of path. I had heard about Le Wagon thanks to a classmate, and I had studied a really basic introduction to programming within my curse, so I thought it would be nice to add another string to my bow by learning to code!I had never coded anything in my life, so I was a bit afraid but the way Le Wagon has built their program makes it really easy for anyone t...After my Bachelor in Business Engineering, I wasn’t sure of what to do and I didn’t want to fall into that ‘become-a-consultant’ kind of path. I had heard about Le Wagon thanks to a classmate, and I had studied a really basic introduction to programming within my curse, so I thought it would be nice to add another string to my bow by learning to code!I had never coded anything in my life, so I was a bit afraid but the way Le Wagon has built their program makes it really easy for anyone to do it.
Before starting the bootcamp you have to do a full prep-work that includes courses about Ruby, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and some web preparations. It’s also a way to really see if learning to code is really what you want to do!
We then start every day with a lecture, and then we work on challenges the whole day, with Teachers and TA’s available to help us. We also end with what we call ‘live code’ which is basically a big exercise similar to what we’ve been doing during the day, but that we’re doing altogether.People at Le Wagon is also something that made this whole experience as amazing as it was: from the Teachers and TA’s always being available to help, to the Le Wagon Madrid team (Fanny and Emilia): they made everything they could to make our experience as smooth as possible.
We also were very lucky in my batch (#725) because we’re very close, and those classmates really turned into a family! <3Another very nice point is that you get life access to Kitt, the Le Wagon platform. And this means life access to all the lectures, challenges, tutorials, every resource stays available to you! We also have a huge community on Slack where there are channels for every need: to find a job, to ask questions, to ask for help, or to share memes.
Doing the bootcamp has definitely opened a lot of doors! Before the end of the 9 weeks, I had already received two job offers. Furthermore, we had an extra ‘Job week’ where we have been given guidelines on how to build our resumes, how to take care of our GitHub, and we got loads of tips and tricks from Alumni as well as Start-ups owners or Teachers.And if you want to have a glance at what my classmates thought about Le Wagon, don’t hesitate to have a look at the Le Wagon Spain Instagram account, where I took over during a week to show the student point-of-view of this life-changing experience! - SebastianGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MunichDec 22, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Best Coding-Bootcamp
I joined Le Wagon to get to know the world of coding and tech. I felt that my university did not teach me the needed tech skills for today's economy, and I wanted to change that quickly. The Bootcamp was the perfect place to do that, and I'd do it again in a split second. All of us have learned more in those nine weeks than I could have ever imagined.
If you think about it, do it! It is only nine weeks of your time, and you most probably won't regret it. - Paula GarciaGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • CologneDec 15, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Joining Le Wagon must have been one of the best decisions in my life! It's unreal how much you can learn in only 9 weeks. The completely hands-on approach and fast pace of a bootcamp are different to everything we’ve seen before.

Having a buddy system and pairing up with different students everyday was super cool, as we got to meet and work with different people, but also because it's much more efficient, as you end up explaining things to each other and figuring the challenges out together.
One of the reasons I joined Le Wagon was the product-oriented approach they have. Being able to build two products from scratch in small teams, going from the UX/UI design, to the development behind it and finally pitching it on our Demo Day was amazing.
The atmosphere at the campus in Cologne was just great, the staff is amazing and the views from our office are the best. I would recommend Le Wagon to anyone looking for a coding bootcamp. And of course would recommend Cologne if you're looking to do it in Germany - the vibe of the city is awesome! 🚀 - Jack MaoWeb Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonDec 14, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I've done some coding in the past but never had enough time or guidance to make a worthwhile app. When I looked for coding Bootcamps, I was almost shocked by the sheer number of and high ratings of Le Wagon. The numbers didn't lie: if you want to learn the basics of web dev and touch on a plethora of modern day programming basics (well, at least using the very user friendly Ruby and a tiny bit of JS), this course will be worth your time and money.
What are the weaknesses? Sure, more JS would have been nice in general. Ruby may not the single hottest language right now. Some TAs are (much) better than others. Maybe 3 weeks of project work is a bit much.
However, I think Le Wagon stands out because of three things and I expect them to get better, not worse over time:
1. Teaching materials are EXCELLENT. The challenges are truly hard. I went to a pretty good university (by UK standards) and am pretty logically minded I would say. I finished all mandatory challenges during the days (with TA help, one exception), just about. Never finished all optional challenges during the day
2. The teachers / TAs are great overall. Very knowledgeable, super helpful on strange and beyond-coursework borderline-CS questions (of which I personally had a lot), even and particularly during project week when you can do projects that really push the boundaries of the course
3. Le Wagon offers great value to students with comprehensive libraries of useful webdev tools and additional lectures which you can still access afterwards
Sure, bear in mind that this is a 8-week course not a 4-year computer science degree, and you're unlikely going to be the next Jobs after this bootcamp alone. However, if you have decided to do A bootcamp, I think LW is a great place to start - Ayelen K.Graduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • BerlinDec 14, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Choosing Le Wagon was a no-brainer for me since it is the best coding school & their approach was exactly what I needed - a hands-on Bootcamp where you can learn by doing challenges.
In addition, some key competitive advantages I’d like to highlight are i) the Teaching Assistant support during challenges - that makes the difference if you're stuck with something you've never done before, ii) the continuous update of the lectures, challenges & program overall to be up-to-date in the field, and iii) their product-oriented approach - that makes the Bootcamp a pretty good approximation of the real working challenges, and hence, an easier landing in your next job :) - Henry DavisGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • AmsterdamDec 14, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
