On top of Data Science !

The friendly and collaborative environment is, in my opinion, a key factor of success, and my 10 weeks of bootcamp proved it.This training is a very good complement to my initial scientific training, which is starting to be outdated, and to my professional management experience. I am sure that being comfortable with data science, which I hope to be now, will be a strong positive complement for my future professional career. - Santiago CarideGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • Buenos AiresJun 14, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I don't have coding experience nor data analysis experience. This was my first bootcamp. Doing 9 hours a day of study can be though if you don't have a good backup. Le Wagon provided excellent help and motivation. The course is very practice-oriented. The teachers are more likely to be experts rather than academics. The campus has multiple exercises, and ressourse to keep on track. The first 3 weeks where to set the basis of coding, data-viz and the toolkit. So be prepared to dive in DL and ML starting on the 16th day. This is important: be fresh because there begins the real action. The material is available for ever to review it, so you can see it over and over. The lecture are well prepared and the exercises can be challenging. The team (teachers and ta) are really helpful, the atmosphere is excellent for learning.
I am still looking for a good job, I guess that that will be the last evaluation of the course. - Julia FredericoFull Stack Developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • Rio de JaneiroJun 03, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
The coding bootcamp
Le Wagon is the coding bootcamp if you really want to learn how to learn. It's challenging and rewarding in all the right amounts, the staff is beyond attentive and the teachers are just amazing. I had the most rewarding learning experience ever the 2 intense months of the bootcamp and it really paid off on my career. I was hired in less than a month after completing the bootcamp. - ThembiSenior Analyst • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MelbourneMay 31, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Great bootcamp, life changing
Before I joined the LeWagon bootcamp, I was working in corporate jobs that were becoming increasingly uninteresting and unfulfilling. I had thought about a career change for some time but never had the knowledge of how to do that without going back to university, or just moving into something else that was equally uninteresting to me. At the same time I was always having a lot of ideas for software businesses, but I was unable to execute on them since I didn't know how to write code. It'...Before I joined the LeWagon bootcamp, I was working in corporate jobs that were becoming increasingly uninteresting and unfulfilling. I had thought about a career change for some time but never had the knowledge of how to do that without going back to university, or just moving into something else that was equally uninteresting to me. At the same time I was always having a lot of ideas for software businesses, but I was unable to execute on them since I didn't know how to write code. It's always scary to leave a job and completely change career, especially when you don't know what the outcome will be. But I'm so incredibly glad that I took the plunge and enrolled in the the LeWagon web development bootcamp - I can honestly say it's one of the best decisions I've made in my professional life.
The bootcamp, while jam-packed with value and incredibly interesting, is hard. You are condensing what would usually be years of content into a 9-week timeframe. That's also the main draw card, though, since you acquire such a valuable skillset in a very, very short amount of time. For that reason my advice would be to make sure you are thoroughly prepared with basic programming knowledge before you start the bootcamp to ensure you keep up. LeWagon provides a pre-course set of materials to get up to speed, but I would suggest even going beyond that and nailing down those fundamental concepts (loops, functions, conditionals etc.) with additional material before starting - there's plenty out there. Aside from that, the program is really well structured and gets you to learn in the most effective way possible - by doing. The day is typically begun with a 1.5 - 2 hour lecture, and then you're off and coding for the rest of the day. The material and amount of work is enough to be challenging and difficult, but still achievable enough so that you see yourself making progress and you're motivated to continue. I can't speak highly enough of the teachers and assistants, who give really engaging lectures, and who are incredibly helpful during the course challenges and in project week. This is true inside and outside of 'course hours' and I've had plenty of ongoing help from them even after the course was well and truly completed.
In the final 2 weeks of the program you get to actually build a real software product that can be used in the real world, with a team of your peers. You may even be fortunate enough, as I was, to have your own idea voted to be the project you work on. This was the most rewarding and engaging part of the whole course for me. You get to put everything you've learned over the last 7 weeks into practice to build a product that you just never think could be built in under 2 weeks. It's exciting, challenging, stressful, fun and most of all extremely rewarding to go through that process and to have a fully fledged product at the end of it is incredible.
I now have the ability to bring a highly valuable skill set to any company I work with, and can build new products whenever I have an idea. I keep saying to my wife it feels like I have super powers. I've recommended LeWagon to many of my friends already, and would strongly encourage anyone who is on the fence to take the plunge and enroll. It's been positively life changing for me. - ElsaGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisMay 27, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

School I studied and obtained a bachelor's in Civil Engineering. That's essentially knowing how to design buildings, tunnels, and bridges. My first exposure to programming was in the first year of school, just like most engineering curriculum. My module thought us the Fortran programming language. For reference, Fortran was the de facto language, back in the 1980s, used to mass calculate forces that a building was subject to, to make sure it wouldn't collapse. So, I built an IPPT calculator instead. And that's the last time I touched coding, until... Come year 3, I would hear of and be intrigued by the term 'machine learning with python' constantly. The premise of machine learning was incredibly interesting: given a list of all the Titanic passengers and their details (age, gender, cabin seat, etc.), a programming script could identify who survived and who didn't, with a high degree of accuracy. So was sold on this black magic (which I discovered was a whole bunch of Maths and Statistics), and I decided to self-study python. But things weren't clicking as well as I had hoped.
Work My first full-time job was doing project management in the aviation industry. Funnily enough, I told myself I would eventually pivot my career a couple of years from then to a tech-based role. So, I started doing Harvard's critically-acclaimed CS50 course after office hours and on weekends. I thoroughly enjoyed the aha! moments and the challenges that left me stumped for hours and days on end. But throughout this journey, the pandemic struck hard on my sector. I thought now would be a great time to take a leap. I duly did my research, left my job, and enrolled in Le Wagon Singapore coding Bootcamp.
Le Wagon Singapore What an amazing experience. Me and my classmates' dove into code straight away. We went from printing "Hello World" and for loops, to building an MVC (Model, View, Controller) ground up, to building and deploying full-stack apps (Ruby on Rails and JavaScript) to the cloud. All in 9 weeks; that's pretty mind-blowing, to be honest. Even today I even wonder how I was able to do that. But I think I have figured out how.
1) Firstly, the curriculum is extremely structured. Every single day has an extremely well-defined topic, such as OOP (Object Oriented Programming). The instructors Miguel and Prima are experienced and well versed in the course material and are always passionate about imparting the programming fundamentals and knowledge to us.
2) Another huge factor is that feedback is fast and responsive. You may have spent inordinate amounts of time trying to understand concepts on YouTube or bug fixing on Stack Overflow. Le Wagon Singapore massively improves on this experience. They have an efficient on-demand, support ticket system where any technical question can be answered by experienced instructors or TA's. It's what I call "Stack Overflow on Crack". Of course, it really helps that there is such a fun, friendly and helpful atmosphere in the classroom, where mistakes are encouraged, and no question is considered insignificant, no matter how small or "silly". After all, this is part of the learning experience.
Last thoughts All in all, I am more than happy to have chosen Le Wagon Singapore as it was fulfilling, fun and affordable. It's been a few months after graduation and I am now a full-stack software engineer; I couldn't have picked a better school. - ShazGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MelbourneMay 13, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The only thing is that coding in general, requires self-motivation and perseverance. So be ready to feel beat down during this journey, but know that you are always learning and growing! Software development is continually growing, and so will you. You will not only learn coding skills but also lots of life lesson and people skills along the way! - LawrenceWeb Development Bootcamp - Part-time • TokyoMay 11, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Why not sooner?!
I really had an awesome time at LeWagon and wished I would have gone sooner there. The help from the teachers and even in the off hours is just overwhelmingly great. Also the materials given is more than enough to keep on learning weeks after the bootcamp. I can not find any criticism or point of improvement. That is how well it was!
