What I enjoyed the most about the bootcamp can be summarized by one word: “learning”. The bootcamp made me rediscover the pleasure of learning.
The curriculum is undoubtedly of stellar quality. It is clearly very meticulously drafted and reviewed and is also regularly updated to keep up with the fast paced changes in web development. I was particularly impressed by Kitt, the learning platform developed inhouse by Le Wagon, because it provides you with all the tools you need to learn in the most effective way possible and is very easy to use.
This brings me to the practical nature of the curriculum, because that is exactly what the team at Le Wagon has discovered is the most effective way of learning. Every day of the bootcamp starts with a bit of theory, which you then immediately apply in the form of exercises throughout the rest of day. In the evening, you then review what you learnt by doing flashcards. This means that in a single day, you basically cover a part of the curriculum three times, each time in a different way. This ensures that you really cement the newly acquired knowledge in your brain.
I have only good things to say about the two teachers I had the pleasure of learning from. Both were very skilled developers but at the same time also great human beings. They were always there to give us their support and answer whatever question we might have had and put their heart into every course they taught us.
If I had to choose 3 words to describe Le Wagon, I would choose positivity, intense and empowering! It was a potentially life-changing experience for curious go-getters who enjoy learning new skills and who want to venture into the world of tech. Le Wagon has put a lot of energy into creating a vibrant alumni community. I know that whenever I need to, I can easily reach out to my fellow alumni for questions, advice, feedback or even job opportunities.
In this context, “Career Week” was also very useful: it helps you figure out what the next steps are on your journey. From learning more about the different career paths, to helping you spruce up your CV, LinkedIn profile and helping you prepare for job interviews, the Career Week covers plenty of topics which are really important for you to reach your goals as a fresh graduate.
Le Wagon has given me the tools and the confidence to achieve my tech-related goals. Right after graduating from the bootcamp I started working remotely from Istanbul for a Belgian tech-startup called ExoVibe as a Web Developer. That is more than I could have hoped for beforehand and I would not have been able to achieve that so soon if it weren’t for Le Wagon.- Capucine DehautData Analyst • Graduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisMay 09, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Excellent methodology and amazing community !
Attending this bootcamp was the best decision I could possibly make! I come from a business background: I graduated from a business school and got a first job in program management at a big tech company. This is where I discovered data science and decided I wanted to learn more. So I chose to attend the Data Science bootcamp at Le Wagon after looking at their program, the demo-days on Youtube, and talking with their Alumni, and I just landed a full-time Data Analyst job!

This bootcamp covers Data Collection-Cleaning-Analysis, Machine and Deep Learning. It gives you enough concepts and practice time to make you employable after the bootcamp, but what’s really smart is that they teach you how to go further, how to answer your own questions, how to read the documentation of Python libraries, etc.. In this way, you can go a lot further on your own after the bootcamp in your own time.
There are three things I really value in this bootcamp:- The methodology: One third of the day is lecture time, and the two other thirds you’re paired up with a buddy and complete exercises to practice what you just learned. Thanks to this methodology, I felt ready to work right after the bootcamp !
- A unlimited access to resources: you can access all lectures materials, exercises, flashcards, career playbooks after you leave the bootcamp. I still use their platform all the time and it’s been super useful.
- The network and seamless support from teachers: there’s many teachers available to answer your questions during the bootcamp so you never leave a day of class with an unclear concept in mind. And there’s a SUPER-active community on Slack, which has now 10 K members from around the world, and will help you find a job, find a freelance mission, answer technical questions, attend masterclasses, connect with companies you love. There’s a superbe atmosphere, you get little surprise events to connect with your peers and teachers and they really do (even in covid times) everything they can to ensure you get the best experience possible.

Impressed by all I learnt in only 9 weeks
I was working in marketing for 6 years and I was considering to change to work in a more digital oriented company but I was obviously lacking some digital skills. Then I moved to Tokyo because my husband had a job offer there, so I take this move as an opportunity for me to learn new skills and I joined Le Wagon Tokyo 9-weeks intensive bootcamp.

Then I moved to Tokyo because my husband had a job offer there, so I take this move as an opportunity for me to learn new skills and I joined Le Wagon Tokyo 9-weeks intensive bootcamp.
I graduated only 2 months ago but I can already say this is the best decision I could ever made !
I would like to insist on the fact that I really didn't have any coding background before joining. I just spend some time on Code Academy before applying, basically to know what coding was exactly 😅 and see if I was at ease with the logic.
I did the prep-course they asked to do before the bootcamp and, even if they cover everything again during the bootcamp, this is really usefull to understand deeper and quicker the main concepts.
The bootcamp itself was really intense, during these 9 weeks, I was literally thinking coding everytime because the learning process is really "addictive", in a very stimulating way. The first weeks help you to get use to the algorithms logic using Ruby language, then the further we go, the more concrete/realistic the challenges become and you can say that you are building real stuff which is super super rewarding !
The lectures are really clear thanks to the teachers who are super pedagogics (again even for people who are REAL beginners) and the exercices are made to make you perfectly understand the lectures and apply them.
In addition, there are a lot of ressources available on the platform which are again really useful (I keep using them all the time since I finished).
Cherry on the cake, they organise a "career week" at the end of the bootcamp which is really useful to know how you can "sell" your new skills, give you advice and ressources to keep learning, depending on what kind of job you want to apply and organise meetings with some partner companies.
I'm not working yet but I already have an offer and several process in progress so I can definitely say that not having a coding background is not a weak point, on the contrary, companies seem to appreciate having people from different background who did this bootcamp !
In short, I can only recommend this bootcamp to people who want to open new opportunities in their career. - JurekGraduate • MelbourneMay 04, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
An Amazing Experience!
Looking back at the bootcamp, I do not regret the decision and loved every moment of it! Learning how to problem-solve, think logically and collaborate with a diverse mix of colleagues and teachers, Le Wagon has helped me build an amazing platform to enter the world of tech! Highly recommended! - Edward BurroughesProduct Data Analyst • Graduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Part-time • LisbonMay 03, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Le Wagon Review
The part-time DS course was a really fantastic experience, I came away with not only greater confidence in my coding ability but an in-depth understanding of best coding practices and procedures. The teaching staff were a refreshing mix of both university and industry experts, with a willingness to help beyond work hours. If you're interested in data or want to learn some cool algorithms this is the course for you, couldn't recommend it more highly.

I felt limited by my understanding of the technologies whenever we were searching for solutions or simple options. I had been searching for an academic formation in order to gain more knowledge about coding. I had tried the online tutorials and I had started a University certificate in digital information management, but none of these options were really allowing me to understand the workflow, the headaches and the day to day life of a web developer. I had heard about web bootcamp, but I never had two months off in order to subscribe. I was on the hunt to have a concrete, technical course that would allow me to understand the limits of the technologies and their possibilities. Then, I found out that Le Wagon was also available part-time!When I started Le Wagon bootcamp, I was anxious about how hard it would be, would I know enough in the beginning? You don’t need any background, you just need to have the motivation to learn, that’s it. We were all from different backgrounds and that was so refreshing! Every session, we worked on difficult exercises with the help of a buddy and the help of the TAs. Time would fly by so fast. It was nice to feel so focus on something. At the end, we had the chance to pitch our idea and build two projects as a team. One of these was JoinCodeBuddies, an app for new developers who wanted to find buddies to work as a team. We had a real taste of what it’s to be in a team, developing a product and launching it. During the bootcamp, I felt so good, especially because learning, acquiring new knowledge made me feel like I was growing but at the same time, I was meeting nice, motivated, hard working buddies. It was a great investment for my career path, I feel more confident on many levels. - DanielGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • Buenos AiresApr 28, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Web Development Bootcamp
Some years ago, a manager told me that I have an analytical brain and advised me to try coding. I didn’t know anything about it. So I was curious and I started to study by myself, for one year, HTML, CSS and Javascript.

So I was curious and I started to study by myself, for one year, HTML, CSS and Javascript. I Enjoyed so much, that I decided to leave my job and jump into a serious learning experience, Le Wagon Bootcamp. I checked many bootcamps before applying, but finally I chose Le Wagon because of the curriculum they offer and the many positive reviews online. Also I had a good feeling about it. After 9 weeks, my initial thoughts were confirmed, I learnt not just the theories, but also how real programmers work, with real projects in team. We used mostly Ruby on Rails for the back-end and Html, CSS and Javascript for the front-end, but we also touched many other technologies. In particular, I worked on a clone of Airbnb based on boats, and a financial app to save money. The experience was incredibly challenging but rewarding, I found myself basically doing a job and solve issues I didn’t even know they existed until some months before. A mention to the method used in this bootcamp: the day starts with a class, followed by many challenges to be solved in pairs or group. All the time, we have the option to ask questions/clarification/explanations/advises to teachers and teacher assistants, who (trust me) are very patient and collaborative. They are a fundamental part of the program, as they constantly make you feel that you are on the right path, and all the doubts you experience are normal, as they did the process before! The whole experience was definitely very positive. Now is time for me to look for a real job! - Mateo Estrada BazanJr. Data Scientist • Graduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • Buenos AiresApr 19, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Top-notch education
Le Wagon provided me with everything I needed to become a Data Scientist. Lead teachers, teaching assistants and drivers were really kind, helpful and proficient when it came to providing guidance and solutions to the different challenges we had to face throughout the Data Science bootcamp. Plus, the Le Wagon community is also supportive and collaborative with every student or alumni. I would totally recommend this school. - LandonGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MontrealApr 18, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Although learning from home was difficult during the pandemic I found it to still be very effective. The way the program is structured really helped me get through all the difficulties I was originally having when trying to learn code on my own. The buddy system, daily challenges, and consistent support/mentorship was invaluable. There is still so much learn but I now feel confident to start pursuing freelancing and build my own projects.
