Trying to condense a 24-week bootcamp journey into a 7-minute read might be as tough as the bootcamp itself, but let me try.
About me. I am a techie, with a fairly long “been there, done that” career in the industry. And in the autumn of 2020 (autumn in Singapore? Use your imagination, I say) I was at the peak of my anxiety and general unhappiness with being the rat on the wheel, and the wheel was getting more slippery with each passing year!

About me. I am a techie, with a fairly long “been there, done that” career in the industry. And in the autumn of 2020 (autumn in Singapore? Use your imagination, I say) I was at the peak of my anxiety and general unhappiness with being the rat on the wheel, and the wheel was getting more slippery with each passing year! It was then that I decided to take the plunge and do the Le Wagon bootcamp. I was very clear about WHY I was doing it - my driver was a creative itch to build new things and use software skills to build them. I was also clear about WHY NOT: for me, the pull wasn’t to get a new job or build a new career - if those were to happen, well and good, but I wouldn’t fret if they didn’t happen, yet I could still walk away with new knowledge and skills that I could tinker with and use to keep me rejuvenated and excited about my life.
Enough about me. About the bootcamp and my ride, from here.
First lesson learnt: it pays to do the pre-course prep work well. I had initially underestimated the load and complexity of this piece, and had to ramp up exponentially before the selection interview with lead instructor Miguel. Frankly, I wasn’t happy with how I fared at that interview, but luckily, Miguel was generally ok with my skill and knowledge level, and I got through.
I chose the part-time program that stretches over 24 weeks. Obvious reasons: I had to balance across the demands of a regular day job and my family. The intensity of a 9-week stint of back-to-back sessions looked intimidating to me, so I chose the part-time course - and it worked for me.
I must admit that at the start of the bootcamp, it felt a bit strange when the classroom sessions seemed to be so “light” on theory, and the constant nudge to work on the challenge exercises. My initial reaction was hey, how can I do this when I haven’t fully grasped the theory? Adapting to this learning-by-doing regimen needed me to double down on paying close attention to and understanding the recorded videos that we were expected to see before each classroom session. At night, I started doing the exercises showcased in each recorded video lesson, before starting on the classroom session challenges. I focused on getting each flash card answer right, even if it took multiple attempts. I realized I had become rusty at retention, and had to ramp up on repetition and practice. After about 3-4 weeks of doing this, I got much better at learning by doing and I got to a point where I was able to complete some of the challenges before the next day’s session started. Hard, bull-headed effort was finally paying off. And I realized that familiarity breeds other things besides contempt and children: self-confidence which then leads to wanting to do more.
Another thing I thoroughly enjoyed about the bootcamp was the challenge exercises - their variety: a mix of brain-teasers, games and real-life needs - they were never boring.
End-of-course project. I started with a deja vu feeling - am I ready to do this yet? And at the end of the project, I realize now that there two crucial factors that made us succeed and achieve what we set out to build and built in 14 days:
(a) a very sensible and pragmatic assessment by our teachers, of the products we pitched to build, driving a fine balance between creating new, interesting value propositions while not trying to go to Mars in 14 days - followed through with continuous mentoring, as well as refinement and critique of each product as it took shape; and
(b) having a framework to follow in actually doing the project, which drew upon a broad canvas of tools and methodologies; this made teamwork and planning easier and more effective, leading to productive, rapid builds in a controlled, coordinated manner. This was particularly important during the weeks where COVID restrictions meant everyone working remotely, without the natural benefits of “common ground” classroom sessions.
Well, that’s the story of the ride, in a nutshell. Not only did we all survive, but we emerged with new wings to fly, perhaps eventually to soar. I realized that each one of us students had a different reason to do this bootcamp - some came to self-actualize, some to improve upon what they were already doing, some to change careers and some to gain first-hand knowledge akin to learning “what goes on inside a kitchen before opening a restaurant”. I believe that our bootcamp education satisfied each of those drivers with its unique mix of content, method and teaching.
For those who've stayed this far for the rolling credits - I take this opportunity to thank my teachers Miguel, Prima, Grace, Ann and the all-round support from Liana before, during and after the bootcamp. I could write a whole chapter on how great each of them are. But I will suffice it to say thank you, and I hope that I can live up to the trust and confidence that they have shown in all of us.- ValerieJunior Backend Developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MunichJul 26, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I was curious about the areas of Digital Marketing, UX and UD but finally, I decided on web programming because I was interested in having the creative possibility of building web apps from scratch.Doing the Bootcamp at Le Wagon was an unforgettable experience. It was a very intensive program that in a very short time transformed and trained me to have a mentality closer to logical thinking. The program is fundamentally oriented to learn backend with Ruby on Rails, the teachers were very close and helped us a lot throughout the journey. The energy that was generated in the group was very positive and stimulating!

I liked the hybrid format of my batch, starting remotely and finishing on campus. I really enjoyed the vibe of learning a lot in a relatively short time while meeting awesome people on the way, this includes the people from my batch but also the whole staff of Le Wagon that were very supportive. Kudos! Seeing the final project build up over the intense last two weeks and presenting it on demo day was a great experience. - EmiliaFront end engineer • GraduateJul 22, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

While it’s impossible to learn absolutely everything during this short time, the program leaves you with all the necessary tools to continue your coding journey. The teachers do a great job to prepare you for the future challenges and help you build the confidence that you can find solutions to any problems you may face. I honestly couldn’t imagine a group of more supportive and helpful people. I took part in the full time curriculum, which was a very intense experience but at the same time rewarding, fun and refreshing (back to school feeling, 9 weeks of focusing solely on upskilling). I got a job with one of the hiring partners we talked to during career week. If you want to change your life and can afford the bootcamp, go for it. - CharlesStudent • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BerlinJul 22, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Before attending the bootcamp, I had some basic knowledge in programming but did not ever find the motivation to go further and to work on real & interesting projects. After these 2 intensive months, I can confirm that everything I've learned has opened the doors to the development industry, which is exactly what I was hoped for. I am now able to have technical conversations with developers, which feels great.The bootcamp is nothing like the university, but you will likely learn way more than at university, and retain more information after the bootcamp. Why? Because of the combination between the smartly designed challenges & classes, the friendly & passionate atmosphere, and the final team projects that involve using all of the skills learned in the previous classes. After the bootcamp, I still have to finish my 3rd year at uni, but I use my free time to continue learning new programming skills on the side. Thanks to the bootcamp I feel confident in learning any new programming language or skills, and I have found some freelancing projects that are starting to add up in my CV. As a piece of advice for prospective students: make sure that you are willing to commit 100%. Everything goes very quickly; try to use every second wisely during the bootcamp to learn, make mistakes, have fun, have a chat with the great teachers and staff! Finally, after the bootcamp, do not go back to your "normal" life. The skills that you will have learned during these intensive 9 weeks are irreversible; take advantage of them wisely and improve on them immediately! - XavierGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BordeauxJul 17, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
