I'm an history teacher, so I was far away from the code. But I realized it wasn't what I wanted. I wished more flexibility and creativity, and I started looking towards new technologies. I thought being a dev was a perfect compromise : you can be freelance and adjust your agenda as you want, or be a dev for a startup or a bigger company, and touched to different fields without having to readjust all your competencies each time.
When I choosed my formation, I focused most of my attention on the program and the teaching method, teacher's old reflex.. I was seduced by the project based learning method, and the program description was complete and it reassured me a lot. When I was in class for the first time, I immediately understood I was gonna be fine.

What I wanted
A great experience that I don't regret, Sebastien is a good teacher and I learned a lot thanks to him.
What I loved the most is the fact not everything is granted : you received all the help you need, but we are encouraged to learn by yourself, to go deeper !
I enjoyed the MVP a LOT : I've made a super MVP I'm really proud of, it was super useful during my job interviews, a true added value to your CV.

Huge boost
I've got the skills I needed to optimize my app and develop new features on it, and I strongly believe without the formation, I wouldn't have been able to do all of that.
I liked everything : the method that taught us how to be autonomous by working directly on different projects, the lessons that are easy to understand, even for someone who's not from the tech world, and of course my colleagues who cheered me up during those 10 weeks.

I'm still in touch with La Capsule's team, and when my app is fully developped, I will not hesitate to hire La Capsule's alumnis because I know what they are capable of !
It gave a huge boost to my app, I think it was the best idea I ever had. - JulietteGraduate • Full Stack Web Developer - In Person • ParisSep 06, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Top !
The mix between the different methods is really efficient : we “study” in the morning and we practice in the afternoon on different projects. During those times, we are autonomous but we can ask for the TA’s help, and I do believe it’s the best way to become operational quickly.

In addition, all the tools we have at our disposal are really useful and help us during the learning process : the live codes are great to understand how the code is builded, the TAs are always available, and I’ve found the office hours helpful to review difficult notions.
I was data project manager before La Capsule, but I felt I was missing the technical part behind the data, I had a marketing point of view and I wanted more. I also have a lot of ideas for different entrepreneurial projects, and knowing how to code myself seems to be the best way to fully master your product. I did some research about programming languages, and Javascript seemed to be the most recommended one. Knowing you can code the back end and front end with just one language with JS, I was quickly convinced.
I went for it, and I was pleasantly surprised to see how many different financial help exists to help you. The bootcamp format answered my 2 biggest criterias : it had to be quick and I wanted to learn a lot. I wasn’t disappointed.
I easily found an internship at Accenture as a dev consultant, and thanks to this skills acquisition, I feel ready for what’s next. - Emmanuel KontlzerGraduate • Full Stack Web Developer - In Person • ParisSep 03, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

After a redundancy scheme, I had the choice to start looking for another accountant job, or looking for something new. The scheme gave us the possibility to attend a formation, and I went for it. At my old job, I used to be with the tech team and I was attracted by what they were doing. That’s why I wanted to be in the tech area.
It was a beautiful experience humanly speaking, I’m still in contact with the entire team. We had real support. I never felt lost, even if it was brand new for me.
In the end, you’re able to code an entire app or website, it’s kind of impressive. My internship went well, I’m fully operational, I can only recommend the training ! - Augustin MarchandGraduate • Full Stack Web Developer - In Person • ParisSep 03, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I took it seriously because I wanted a real career change where I was directly operational without spending too much time studying something new. I asked the people I knew in the IT sector, and they told me JavaScript was super appreciated by recruiters on the current job market. I started the admission process? and the team being nice and quick to answer, I enrolled for the fullstack.
I was super excited to start, and wasn’t disappointed. The rhythm was intensive, but that’s what I asked for. The teaching method fits all the profils, and I appreciated this “accessible to everyone” kind of dimension, you have a lot of different profiles in one batch and it gives a true richness to the formation.
The week's projects are truly a good point, it gives the notions a thread and a concrete dimension.
I’ve had a lot of good moments, and now it’s on me ! - Anaïs MoutarlierGraduate • Full Stack Web Developer - In Person • ParisSep 03, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I really liked La Capsule and its teaching method.
What convinced me was how quick they are to answer all our questions. They were super reactive and had time for us, a really dedicated team. The process is smooth, no headaches, it was promising.

I already coded a bit on Excel and I loved it. Nothing extravagant, but it was enough to make me want to go deeper. I was in the middle of a career change anyway, I might as well do something I liked and started to discover.
To focus the program on intensity and practice is the best way to succeed if you want to be ready to work at the end of those 10 week : the method is great, it's a complete training where we are fully committed and not just spectators.
I'm a dev now and didn't have to wait after my formation. It turned me into a dev as planned, so all I can say is thank you ! - Rémy HellequinGraduate • Full Stack Web Developer - In Person • ParisSep 03, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I didn’t consider myself a beginner, I already had some experience in the tech area because I worked for a solutions publisher. So instead of just being project manager, I wanted to be on the other side and learn Node.js, React… Ideally, I want to launch my own project, and I want to code it by myself.
I wasn’t disappointed : it was short and intensive, and it was what made me like it even more. The group spirit gave us a lot of motivation and it helped you go through those 10 weeks. The MVP is really interesting and allows (for those who have an entrepreneurial project) to start working on it and to receive feedback.
I reached my goal so I couldn’t be happier. - CassandraGraduate • Full Stack Web Developer - In Person • ParisSep 03, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Big thanks !
Going through the syllabus, the program wins me over real quick. I think that thanks to the syllabus we have a clear vision of what's gonna happen during those 10 weeks and it's easy to project yourself.
During my interview with the team, I was put at ease real so easily. My exchange with the team was great, they answered all my questions, even the financial ones which reassure me a lot.

What I remember from the moments I spent at La Capsule are the fact that we were all helping each other and the teachers’ kindness. They were awesome, and I wanted to thank Antoine for the time he gave us.

I especially enjoyed the buddy system : you’re not always in your comfort zone, you learn to program with everyone among the batch and not just always the same person. You’re polyvalent and it’s useful for your future professional life as a dev. Ariane, the courses platform, is well constructed, which is really important when you know you’re going to spend most of your time on it. And we have a life-time access to Ariane, in other words, a full time access to all the resources we need.
I worked in the audio field, and for the last 5 years I used to code a bit for the team, nothing serious, but I liked it a lot. So I decided to change my career and to choose a popular language to learn at the same time, so I went for Javascript.
I still code on the app my teammate and I have developed for the MVP to improve it and have the most finished product possible. The people I’ve met changed my experience, thanks a lot. - JulieProduct owner • Graduate • Full Stack Web Developer - In Person • ParisSep 01, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I loved the teaching method and to work on my MVP with all the teachers' feedbacks, I gave us another vision to our work and we had the possibility to improve all the features with their advices.
To sum up, It was a beautiful experience. - EvanGraduate • Full Stack Web Developer - In Person • LyonAug 31, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Intensive and efficient
When I've discovered the "bootcamp" format, I wasn't really sure what to expect. I was a bit scared not to be able to follow the rythm, but I was convinced it was a once in a lifetime opportunity so I went for it. And it was awesome !

JavaScript is really the language to master right now on the job market : I had so much more opportunities after the training, and I had a new job in like 3 weeks after I passed my exam at La Capsule. I can't be more satisfied. Thanks guys !
