Web Development Bootcamp
I always had lots of entrepreneurial ideas, but never felt ready to test or launch those ideas, because I had no technical skills. Directly after my bootcamp at Le Wagon in Paris, I developed the MVP of one of those ideas. Today, I completely pivoted from that idea and work on a new MVP. Being able to code gives me huge flexibility and enables me as an entrepreneur to test projects at almost no cost. With a traditional business background and first experiences in banking & consulting...I always had lots of entrepreneurial ideas, but never felt ready to test or launch those ideas, because I had no technical skills.

Change your life, learn to code!
Before I joined Le Wagon I was working as an interpreter which was fun but I knew was not what I wanted to do long term. I always wanted to learn to code so I took online courses that I found interesting, but it never worked for me. After I while I’ll get busy from work then I’ll end up forgetting everything I studied which was a waste of time. That was when I started looking for places where I can focus on studying.

After I while I’ll get busy from work then I’ll end up forgetting everything I studied which was a waste of time. That was when I started looking for places where I can focus on studying. And when you search for bootcamps, Le Wagon is always on top of review sites. I was skeptical at first, but still chose them because I liked their curriculum the most. I will be honest with you that the 9 weeks will be intense and extremely hard especially if you have a limited coding experience like me. It won’t be a vacation and sometimes you’ll think of throwing your laptop away and just quit during the first 3 weeks. But don’t worry, the teachers are excellent and amazing communicators that you will be able to get through everything just fine. Overall, it was a great experience and lived up to the reviews. I would definitely recommend it to anyone considering on attending one of their courses. - PinsGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • TokyoJun 19, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Best Online Bootcamp!
if you are gonna be a remote student, this is for YOU! I couldn't be there at the school physically due to the whole COVID situation and lock down. Was really worried in terms of the whole experience and learning process but the whole online remote teaching system they came out with, was FANTASTIC. Of course it would been nice to meet everyone in person, but I didn't feel alone as a remote student, everyone was friendly!

The teachers actually engage a lot with all students and it made the whole online experience super easy to access, full support given from teachers anytime(very patient and helpful teachers in fact), the challenges and whole curriculum structure was very well structured!
Literally, anyone can code from anywhere! And I will say it's way worth the price you're paying for, a good investment in yourself and a once in a lifetime experience! - Diana CAPUNAYGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisJun 15, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Best bootcamp ever!
I have been working during 8 years in a French localization agency as Linguistic Project Manager and Manager. During my experience at the agency, I had the opportunity to work often on back-end and HTML when localizing sites. This experience gave me the motivation to get into the world of the Web.
I chose Le Wagon because its training is certifying (in France) and its pedagogy is very effective.
I don’t regret my choice, it is one of the best experience I had in my life!

Fantastic experience, solid course
I had the pleasure to attend the Wagon during a not-so-great time, in April-May 2020. The entire team really outdone themselves to make our learning experience go as smoothly as possible. You can feel the progression throughout the bootcamp, and the pedagogic team really cares for their students. All in all a fantastic bootcamp. - AurelData Engineer • Graduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisJun 11, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great experience in Data
As a data freelancer, I used to self-learn a lot. Applying to Le Wagon’s data science bootcamp allowed me to increase my skills far more quickly, by facing state of the art processes in only nine weeks. It was a real game changer for myself and my clients. The growing community of Le Wagon is also an incredible way to meet other professionals eager to share good time as well as new opportunities. - Martin NavarreteWeb Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisJun 10, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Le Wagon teaches you the basics of coding, with which you can easily continue progressing and discovering new "gems" (pre-coded applications) that allow you to do almost anything you want.
And it is also a great way to enter into the digital start-up world.
I strongly recommend this bootcamp. The teachers and staff are great, friendly and fun!

- The teaching team is both highly qualified and passionate about coding. They are always ready to coach & help you in one to one and this is one of the main asset of the bootcamp as I don’t think I would have learnt so much in only 9 weeks without their help.
- Focus is on practice to make sure all the concepts are understood and assimilated as most of the day is dedicated to practical exercises with a great system of feedback telling you how well you performed.
- The program is very team oriented as you face your daily coding challenges everyday with a different “buddy” and then work in teams of four for your final projects. To me, it’s the perfect way to build strong bonds with your classsmates!
- Last but not least le Wagon team does a great job at connecting people through the events their organize weekly for the students: from the first welcome drink to the last demo day party, everything is made for you to know each other and develop your network. And it doesn’t stop there as you become part of Le Wagon Alumni that now counts more than 3000 students over the world who stay connected to each other through the many slack channels of le Wagon and of course through the many events organized by Le Wagon.
Thanks to Le Wagon, I now know how to code, how to design my own projects but I also met incredible people and made great friends! This has been one of the most incredible learning journey I have ever had. Some weeks may have been hard and pretty intense (hey it’s a bootcamp after all!) but if had to do it again I would not think twice about it! - LauraStudent • ParisJun 09, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Good experience - High Knowledges
I worked for 10 years in the digital and innovation field. Before Le Wagon, I never coded a single line of code. I did the 6 months part-time training. Development and programation is the main purpose of my work and I felt there was a gap between me and the developers because we could not speak the same language.

During Le Wagon training, I perfectly learn how to code and even more : I learned how to worked with teamate and a methodology to always increase my knowledge in development. The success of this formation is due to the teacher team (always 4/5 teacher by session) and their benevolence. The framework is also amazing : the large jungle helps give a very relaxing setting :) - PHDGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisJun 04, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Brilliant
Great syllabus : covers a lot of ground - not in great detail, but equips you with the tools to go further where you want to . Even with some relevant background, expect to work hard to fully benefit. Excellent teachers and TAs. Tried and tested organisation and tools. Extremely professional yet informal and friendly. Active alumni community. - KevinGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MilanJun 02, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing experience not just for aspiring developers, but also for professionals in business functions seeking technical literacy
After several years in the consulting world working alongside professionals in tech, I wanted to learn to code and better understand technical concepts and architectures that were becoming increasingly prevalent in my work. I tried several times to learn on my own using online resources, but found it difficult to stay self-motivated.

I tried several times to learn on my own using online resources, but found it difficult to stay self-motivated.
Le Wagon provided me with the structure and intensity I needed to learn quickly. The best part of the experience, beyond the traditional lecture format, is that you learn by doing. You spend most of the day practicing coding, and applying the skills you learned during the morning lectures. The latter part of the bootcamp is dedicated to building out full-scale projects, replicating the experience you would have as a real developer.
The course is rigorous and it will challenge you, but that is exactly why it is so effective. All of the instructors were incredibly helpful and patient in helping you get unstuck throughout the exercises and projects. If you're ready to put in the effort, you will come out of this program with the skills and knowledge to grow your professional career.
