Le Wagon offers various scholarships and financing options, such as installment plans, Income Share Agreements, public funding, and more.
The pros are :
I can now code a web application
I have met wonderful people
The disadvantage is :
every day I went home late
I have been impressed by the quality of the overall program. Every class is really well designed. Everyday of the program has its importance.
The team in Lille was super pedagogic.
The online platform provided during the program is really helpful. Plus, this platform is still accessible after Le Wagon, for life. That is great!
I feel that the 6 hard learning weeks followed by 3 weeks dedicated to project is the right balance.
Now, it's time to code!
After working in banking for 5 years as a bond salesman, I decided to quit my job. I felt it was not intellectually stimulating anymore. Eager to learn a new skill that would unlock new opportunities in the challenging and demanding startup space, and feeling passionate about Rio, as soon as I learned Le Wagon offered the bootcamp there I decided to enroll in the programme.

After working in banking for 5 years as a bond salesman, I decided to quit my job. I felt it was not intellectually stimulating anymore. Eager to learn a new skill that would unlock new opportunities in the challenging and demanding startup space, and feeling passionate about Rio, as soon as I learned Le Wagon offered the bootcamp there I decided to enroll in the programme. The 9 weeks were simply amazing. The bootcamp was very challenging and intense, and on day 1 I knew I had made the right choice. The cursus is flawless and before you know it, you develop impressing coding abilities. For our final project we build a peer to peer lending platform (www.crediteu.io). I honestly couldn’t have dreamed of being able to build a complex web app with relative ease after such a short period of time. We had a cool batch and we got along very well. I think the human/team spirit part of the bootcamp was as rewarding as the new acquired skills. On top of that, being in Rio made the experience unreal. I feel really privileged to have been able to combine the learning process with experiencing life in such a wonderful city. Not even one month after finishing the course, I am already working with friends on a project to build an apartment rental platform in Montreal. I strongly recommend Le Wagon to anyone interested in the programming/tech startup scene, regardless of one’s background.
Graduating fresh out of uni with a commerce degree sounded exciting. It was only after a few months of searching for a consulting gig, a terrible realization dawned upon me - I didn't like what I was doing. It was a year of doom and gloom until I decided that I had to do something with my life. I was always drawn to tech and the startup space, so I knew I wanted to learn how to code. I found Le Wagon, saw that it was rated very highly online, took a leap of faith and never looked back. I'm...
Graduating fresh out of uni with a commerce degree sounded exciting. It was only after a few months of searching for a consulting gig, a terrible realization dawned upon me - I didn't like what I was doing. It was a year of doom and gloom until I decided that I had to do something with my life. I was always drawn to tech and the startup space, so I knew I wanted to learn how to code. I found Le Wagon, saw that it was rated very highly online, took a leap of faith and never looked back. I'm grateful everyday that I had the opportunity to learn from some of the most patient, highly skilled and overall great human beings. I now have the freedom to build my own products and to reach out to people in a different medium- a space I was always afraid to venture into. Paal, the driver for the bootcamp, was excellent in organizing the whole course. He is a dear friend and very well known in the dev community. He connected me with so many people, and I'm eternally grateful his passion to bring out the best in every student. I hope that anyone that read this far will seriously consider this bootcamp - it will change your life.

Le Wagon is a nine weeks program providing you with a solid toolkit of skills to build web-apps and APIs. You start by learning Ruby, and continue with SQL, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The students are very diverse and come from lots of different backgrounds, countries and age groups. At the end of the bootcamp you'll programm together with two to three other students two entire web-apps in just three weeks time - and this feels amazing and super rewarding!
I really enjoyed my learning experience with Le Wagon. My initial goal was to learn some basic coding during my gap year between graduating business school and starting my master's degree. At the end of the course I learned so much more than I hoped for and decided to scratch my plans for the gap year and master's degree in favor for pursuing a coding career. By now I am working as a fullstack developer in a Berlin Startup.
The Le Wagon staff consists of mostly former Le Wagon students, which is why they are great at motivating and explaining the concepts. I did struggle with coding, especially in the beginning, but since they went through the same experiences they always had great advice and encouraging words.
I regularly come back to Le Wagon events to meet the new students and fellow alumni. The Le Wagon alumni community is very active and supportive, helping with coding problems, sharing knowledge resources, and giving tips for finding jobs or feelancing.
I was working as a copywriter as well as teaching English as a second language before diving into Le Wagon’s full stack bootcamp in Barcelona. I graduated from the College of Humanities and the Arts at my university back home, double-majoring in Philosophy and Spanish, and I had previously focused my professional work toward a career in education and writing.

I was working as a copywriter as well as teaching English as a second language before diving into Le Wagon’s full stack bootcamp in Barcelona. I graduated from the College of Humanities and the Arts at my university back home, double-majoring in Philosophy and Spanish, and I had previously focused my professional work toward a career in education and writing.
Once I began working as a copywriter, I was involved in the process of an international company creating websites, apps and landing pages for itself. Although I enjoyed my participation, I desired to have a greater role, and rather than wait for a developer to to create something for me to write on, I figured it’d be fantastic for me to write on projects I’ve developed myself.
Learning to code was the most obvious step for me to offer more as an employee, but more importantly, it was a way to learn the skills for me to develop the personal websites and apps that I had began to conceptualize.
Le Wagon provided us with a very well planned and practical curriculum that effectively introduces students to coding, focuses on teaching the fundamentals and reinforces that students understand what’s happening, what they’re doing, and why they’re doing what they’re doing at every step along the way.
Additionally, Le Wagon’s teaching style does more than simply teach how to code to get a job as a developer, it provides workshops, classes, and exercises to practice using our new knowledge as entrepreneurs. Furthermore, Le Wagon teaches students how to keep learning on their own, which is critical in coding because coding is dynamic, always changing, and anyone that’s involved with it never stops learning.
Aside from the teaching, the Le Wagon community, as a part of the larger Ruby community, is welcoming, helpful and I’m really happy to be a part of it.
Thanks to Gus and whole team at Le Wagon Barcelona!
Le Wagon is not only a coding bootcamp, Le Wagon is a network made by people who really want you to suceed and help you along the way, even after the bootcamp.
I was working as a Civil Egineer for 4 years, but I was not happy with it. I wanted to be part of the world of technology, to be able to create my own software that would alow me to solve people’s pains, and be able to work from anyplace, allowing me to travel more.

I was working as a Civil Egineer for 4 years, but I was not happy with it. I wanted to be part of the world of technology, to be able to create my own software that would alow me to solve people’s pains, and be able to work from anyplace, allowing me to travel more.
After serious thinking, I really felt I should invest in Le Wagon’s Bootcamp, and I am really happy I did. The bootcamp is very tough, specially the first weeks where you struggle to get the basic concepts, but you just need to keep pushing forward and ask for help, everybody will help you.
After 6 intensive weeks you will have to build your own app. For me, this was the best part of the bootcamp. I was building an app, from scratch, with 3 friends that shared the same excitement I had. A truly remarkable experience.
We created Pick a Restaurant, an app that chooses for you the best places in Lisbon to have a meal or a drink.
After the bootcamp I felt some kind of void. I didn’t have classes anymore, pick a restaurant was working, so I started looking for a job as junior developer. I went to several interviews and the feedback from employers was really good. They were surprised how a guy without a computer science background could be able to really stand out against computer science students.
Only 1 month after I was invited to work for a software house, BLKO and now I am working as a Full Stack Developer in Ruby on Rails, just like I wanted.
The bootcamp is just the begining. In tech, you need to be constantly learning and searching. I really recomend Le Wagon’s Bootcamp. Le Wagon changed my life.
I have recently completed the bootcamp in Milan and I couldn't be happier with the experience!! Fantastic program, teachers and environment. It's tough during the 9 weeks - long days and often coding on weekends, but the teachers and TA's provide really good support and make sure nobody gets left behind.

The bootcamp gives you all the computer science fundamentals and coding tools required to become a web developer, and provides a lot of support online post graduation (a lot of well made videos and tutorials to reference back to).

I am an architecture student but beside my love to my career I've always wanted to learn to code, that's why I decided to take a coding bootcamp. Before deciding which one to attend I came here, to Switchup (among other websites and Medium articles), and honestly I was super skeptical about the perfect rating of Le Wagon around the globe. But after reading tons of reviews and sharing the program to my coder friends I decided the best option was Le Wagon.
When I left my hometown Mexico City, to attend Le Wagon Milan, my expectations where very high.
DURING (Spoiler alert!)
I was told that taking the bootcamp was an intense experience and after the first two weeks I noticed it was real. I entered with basic knowledge in coding and the first two weeks of Le Wagon are centered in Ruby and all the coding logic. Those weeks are though but very satisfying, because in time you realize that once you understand the logic behind coding everything else begin to make more sense and become easier. I think the program is well structured, by the end of the course you realize every single piece serves to build "your" final project, and during the course you have to work with a partner everyday, and that is also a challenge. Plus the teachers are really qualified and guide you through the 9 weeks!
In the end of the bootcamp, with the final project, I was amazed of how much I achieved in only 2 months.
AFTER
Now I can say that taking Le Wagon was one of the best decisions in my life. I don't know yet if I will change my professional career towards web development, but learning all that amount of information and the methodology to learn new stuff as a day to day basis I think will be very important in my future. Thanks to this 2 months I feel completely comfortable in reading and writing code, and this empowers yourself! So if you get into this part of my opinion and if you still have curiosity with coding, I would recommend attending Le Wagon!
If you are curious about what you achieve during the bootcamp you can take a look into my final project at https://www.foodi.tips
I wanted to learn coding to get into the tech side of the blockchain industry. I initially tried to learn how to code myself but found that the way I was approaching the task was not bearing much fruit, so I decided to look for a bootcamp where I could quickly learn the skills I needed. Le Wagon consistently came up as the best Bootcamp for coding not just on review websites but also through word of mouth from family and friends.

The most rewarding point in the programm is when you reach the final weeks and get to build up a project from scratch with a team of your choosing. I suddenly found that I could truly build something of value.
Going to Le Wagon was one of the best decisions I made in terms of personal growth. You dont just learn how to code but also how to problem solve in an effiecient manner.
Having finished the bootcamp a couple of months ago I am now working on a blockchain startup called Way which I would never have thought to have been a possibility back in December.
