Ok now to the mudane details… Le Wagon's track is quite different from anything you will find on the net and is truly brilliant. Instead of focusing on eye catching features and technology names, it focuses on giving some really solid basics on the MVC desgin pattern and product lifecycle "the Github way". And that's all you need truly, to ship ton of product.

And that's all you need truly, to ship ton of product.
The schedule is awesome (the best benefit of the program), the content is great, the atmosphere is just perfect. It's all you need to be 100% percent on learning everyday.
If you want to develop products, code your own product or get more experience in doing so (e.g. for Product Owner jobs), I can't recommand enough. Forget the fancy React stuff, just learn a proven way to ship functionnal apps.
And again, it got me a job in no time.- ChristianProcurement development manager • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Part-time • ParisMay 30, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I came to Le Wagon looking for boosting my knowledge in order to be autonomous in launching MVP’s and the experience far surpassed my expectations. Not only I got the technical skills that were required in order to build a product but also I leaned how to conceptualise and launch it. That coupled with its amazing staff and existing network made my time worthwhile. - MaudeGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisMay 29, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

It taught me the right development practices, the right way to approach and structure a project, how to collaborate, how to improve my coding skills by myself and more.

Extremely valuable skills not only to geeks and developers but also to anyone in a business function

I needed to gain rapidly technical skills and to get to know this booming geeky world.
Le Wagon perfectly matched this goal and I can only recommend it to anyone in the same situation. At Le Wagon, I’ve experienced the most exciting learning experience. Each day is about discovering something new, getting to know a new person and exchanging ideas with smart people from incredibly diversified backgrounds. The teaching is extremely well-thought making it both accessible to complete beginners and exciting to students with more advanced knowledge.
I am convinced that today being able to code, to query a database, to design a product in sprint mode or to pitch an app idea are extremely valuable skills not only to geeks and developers but also to anyone in a business function. - JohnGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Part-time • ParisMay 28, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Bootcamp at Le Wagon
With three decades in the global news business as a photojournalist, photo editor and manager, I had the opportunity to make a career transition and enroll in the Fullstack Bootcamp for web developers. While in high school in the ‘60s I learned Fortran and later as a web consultant at a photography school in Paris I worked on SEO visibility in the early days of the internet in the ‘90s where HTML pages had to be tweaked to the algorithms of the different competing search engines.

While in high school in the ‘60s I learned Fortran and later as a web consultant at a photography school in Paris I worked on SEO visibility in the early days of the internet in the ‘90s where HTML pages had to be tweaked to the algorithms of the different competing search engines. In 2019 “Le Wagon” was my personal pivot, a challenge to learn how to code during their 9-week bootcamp bringing people from various professions and backgrounds into a dynamic environment with the goal of working in the start-up economy.
Learning at the bootcamp was intense - daily presentations to learn code, followed by exercises working with a different buddy each day, ending with a hour-long ‘live code’ session. And flash cards to review the course content each day. By the end of the second week, many of us were dreaming code in our sleep. An excellent teaching staff and a pedagogical program that has proven itself since the creation of ‘Le Wagon’. They have developed an environment where students of all technical levels can learn the tools needed to build web applications. Just excellent !
As “Le Wagon” simply states, “Change your life, learn to code”. - ThomasStudent • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisMay 28, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

wahou experience
Leaving aside my former job in finance, I decided to take part in the adventure “Le Wagon” in January 2020: an immersion into the world of tech to learn how to code!
9 weeks in a batch of 30 people from all walks of life in a studious and ultra positive atmosphere. And that’s what Le Wagon is all about: mothers, students, car salesmen, costume designers, lighting designers? All at the same level.

9 weeks in a batch of 30 people from all walks of life in a studious and ultra positive atmosphere. And that’s what Le Wagon is all about: mothers, students, car salesmen, costume designers, lighting designers? All at the same level.
We talked about database, algorithm, back-end, front-end, MVC, Ruby on Rails, Javascript, Postgresql, Heroku and many more! A lot of terms that were not very well known at the beginning but that have no more secrets for me today.
But we worked a lot, really, to finally succeed in creating a web app project in groups. I wouldn’t have imagined at the beginning to succeed in all this. Having worked in management control for several years, I can say that my reconversion is well under way!
But to achieve this, we had excellent teachers and a very operational and highly effective teaching approach.
Thank you to the whole team of Le Wagon Paris for their kindness, their good mood and for all the beers :)
I’m very happy to be part of Le Wagon alumni, a huge community! and I encourage all those who want to learn to code to participate in Le Wagon adventure! - BenjaminGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisMay 27, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing experience
Joining Le Wagon’s bootcamp was one of the best decision of my life. Learning code is difficult but at Le Wagon everything was made to help the students : the organization is perfect, the lessons are well explained and the teachers have a lot of experience. On top of that, the atmosphere is friendly and the afterworks really fun.I highly recommend to do it if you plan to learn coding ! - Dorian RocheFull stack developer • Student • ParisMay 27, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Intensive et Complete Bootcamp
I chose to learn code with Le Wagon as it was a part of my professional retraining. I was Account Manager Back Office in Finance and wanted to be a Developper Web.
With Le Wagon I learn a lot thanks to their daily organisation and all the practices they proposed. Their teachers and assistants are really available and have lot of experiences. It was intensive but always with good vibes !

I chose "Le Wagon" training firstly because the program is very well constructed and the learning method in reverse pedagogy seems interesting to me. Besides, their learning platform is very well developed for this !
Secondly because the school is also recognized by employers, it has a good reputation and good reviews from students.

Secondly because the school is also recognized by employers, it has a good reputation and good reviews from students.
The training allowed me to gain in ease, in methodology and confidence, although the impostor syndrome still persists. The teachers and the TA are there to guide and support us. I also had very good encounters with my classmates, all from different backgrounds.
Today I am delighted to have completed the Wagon training and obtained my certification. A good part of my reconversion is completed !
Since the end of the training in March 2020, I have made a portfolio to apply and I continue to train and train again to make my junior profile more attractive.
I'm currently looking for my first job as a web developer.
