Well worth the time and money
I attended the full time web development bootcamp in Melbourne from April-June 2021. Portions of the course were taught remotely as Melbourne was in and out of lockdown, but the majority of the class was in person at a co-working space in Richmond. I went into the course with the expectation of learning the basics of building web apps for my own personal enjoyment and to help me become more technical in future roles.

I went into the course with the expectation of learning the basics of building web apps for my own personal enjoyment and to help me become more technical in future roles. My expectations were definitely exceeded by the end of the 10 weeks. The course was structured really well, and each lesson built on top of the next nicely. The focus on pair programming was really nice too, and it meant learning how to work with others in a technical capacity. The final project was a fantastic experience, and I'm even still using the app that I built during that time. I would highly recommend the full time web dev course to anyone who has similar goals as mine. - GlennGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Part-time • MelbourneAug 20, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
A rewarding, challenging experience which has set me up for a future of success
Le Wagon is just fun.
The immediate pros are the people - fellow students and staff. Everyone is there to help.
There is a vast amount of content to learn during the course which is all put into practice which really helps solidify what you are learning.
The staff and teachers genuinely care about your success and are always there to answer questions.

Though even after the end of the boot camp you are part of the alumni community from all over the world who are happy to answer questions you have for personal projects or challenges in your new job. - HongGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MelbourneAug 16, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

What Le Wagon is remarkably good at is setting an aim for the student - daily, weekly, monthly - and making her/him get there in a pedagogical and motivating way. It’s quite a lifting and super rewarding feeling to believe there’s no way a project or idea can be realised and finishing the day with that exact thing and 4 different things done. Making the ‘Le Wagon environment’ more serious would take a lot of the positivity and fun while making it laxer would turn it into a circus school. It’s in the sweet spot.
An absolute recommendation for everyone seeking to understand the buttons we click every day. - Patrícia NunesFlight Attendant • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LisbonJul 29, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Incredible bootcamp
Learning to code was never on my radar prior to Le Wagon - I’d always assumed you needed a STEM degree and that I’d missed the boat.

Amazing 9-week Program
Overall very good experience for someone coming in with zero working experience in development.
ProsGood team projects, easy to follow curriculum that gets you ready to work individually.
ConsSome people who were a little less quick to catch-up got lost on some concepts, but everyone got up to speed eventually. - MaximGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BerlinJul 27, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

With a background in finance and an affinity for startups, it was my intention to learn how to code for quite some time. After extensive research, I chose the Le Wagon coding Bootcamp.
What I liked most about the Bootcamp was that besides the frontend stack you also learn 2 programming languages (Ruby and JavaScript - the first one is especially great for fast prototyping), that the program is very international, and that the curriculum is well thought out and builds on what you have previously learned. During the 9 weeks, no one was left behind and every single student was taken care of. This was especially ensured by a buddy system and teacher support (e.g. if you had questions about learned concepts or exercises).
The highlights of the program are the project weeks, where the gained skills can be applied by building 2 web applications. There are basically no limits (only the time factor). In week 1 we built a platform to book technical support if someone is struggling with their code, and in weeks 2 and 3 (final project) we built a surfer app that gives a recommendation for surf spots based on current weather data and the experience level of the user.
The environment is very motivating and at the same time, you get to know many new and interesting people. I can recommend the program to anyone who wants to learn serious programming and at the same time quickly get into the world of web development. - Daniil VolfData Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • BerlinJul 27, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Data Science Bootcamp
Before Le Wagon i was already working in IT as a product and project manager. Although i had basic understanding of programming and technologies around data i always wanted to dive deeper into this topic.

Although i had basic understanding of programming and technologies around data i always wanted to dive deeper into this topic. There are many courses and bootcamps for Data Science out there, but i decided to go with Le Wagon, because it seemed to be an intense program. After the bootcamp i can say that it was the right desicion, because the Le Wagon Bootcamp has a great concept that makes it stand out from other courses.
Here are 3 things that are especially worthy to be highlighted:
Mass, quality, availability of material:
Your first impression is probably gonna be, that the pace is way to high, but that's the goal. You go through a ton of material every day and its sometimes hard to cath up.
Every topic will be introduced through a live lecture. But there is also a possibility to watch a prerecorded lesson and take a look into a script later. If the pace was to fast or something wasn't clear enough you can have a look at it in the future, because all the material will be availible for you even after the bootcamp.
Teaching concept and community:
Bacause the topics are new every single day it's pretty tough to get through the challenges without any help. So you have to collaborate. Challenges are designed that you solve them in collaboration with the teachers and other students and of course with the use of stackoverflow & co. There is also a lot of communication on the slack channels, so you really get to know many people and benifit from the huge international community.
The final project:
At the end of your bootcamp you can pitch you own project or join a project of other students. In two weeks (with support from teachers) you, as group of 4 students, will develop and deploy your own web application... and thats impressive.
PRO
Variety and depth of Data Science Topics. You get a great overview of the most important concepts of data Science, because of the high pace you can not really focus to much on one specific thing but you always have the oppertunity to look it up after the bootcamp, because all the lectures and exercises are still availible for you after the bootcamp.
CONTRA
If you do not like to be challenged and face adversity, bootcamp is probably not the right thing for you. If you do not have a technical background and no previous programming experience it can be a pretty rough experience for you on some days. But if you feel motivated, go for it nonetheless. Frustration management is a very important skill, especially in IT.
