La Capsule

I spent the 10 most enriching weeks of my life at La Capsule. I did a complete reconversion as I went from working in Finance where I had had a few opportunities to work with code to working as a web developer which is very creative job!
I worked many years in Finance using SQL which is where I discovered an interest for coding. I became more and more eager to discover what could be done in front and back-end, and also to deepen my database knowledge.
When I joined La Capsule, I immediately felt good vibes. All the students had the same common objective which is to succeed. Our teacher in Lyon was amazing ! We could feel his passion for code which he was sharing in his classes. He was a great listener and above all highly educational.

I loved following this program and would do it all over again without a doubt.
A few weeks after the end of my batch, I did an internship in a start-up. I then decided to start freelancing, which was my main objective ! Today I’m making a good living out of it and I can work from wherever I want !

I attended the online training during the second lockdown. I have to admit that I was a bit afraid of how the distance learning courses would go. But I was very pleasantly surprised! In my opinion, distance learning courses are just as effective as face-to-face. Usually, it's hard to stay focused on courses when you're at home, but the teachers motivate you a lot! They share their passion with us and it really makes you want to listen to everything they have to say. The projects take place in groups so you are never really alone behind your computer. The project-based learning system is great! It is the best way to learn and even more so when you take online courses. 
Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to come to the school, but I had very good feedback from my classmates about the classes, the facilities and the atmosphere. 

10 weeks after the course, I found an internship as a fullstack web developer in a Parisian startup.
I really recommend La Capsule if you want to get into web development quickly! Read less

I followed the training full remote. The classes were live and I was able to follow the training as if I were on campus. The buddy system is very well thought out even for people who are remote. It's a way for us to have contact with the other students in the batch who are remote or in person. There is a real follow-up by the Teachers and TA when wo do remote, same as if we were in person!  They are very available and help us to progress on our different projects and challenges.

Honestly, I found the training really good. I learned so much in 10 weeks. 
I initially joined La Capsule to improve my technical skills and get a boost in my career. I was supposed to get a new position within the company where I was already employed but it was not possible due to Covid. So I decided to change course and join a startup ! Only 2 months after my training, I found a job that I love and that allows me to use my new technical skills on a daily basis. I am now a cloud administrator and I build the infrastructure of our cloud and our network in general.

I would like to thank La Capsule without whom this opportunity would never have been possible ! Read less

La Capsule totally matched all I was waiting for : the teachers are great, available, and really skilled. I attented the program from home, and I loved the fact that we were really closed altogether ! I've mastered the basics and even more today, I'm ready to start a new life and new job. Before the training, I was following some online classes, but I didn't understand anything.  And that's when you see the true difference : thanks to my training, I got it now and I'm able to understand things by myself. The rythm is truly intensive and we all learned a lot. The program is well tought out ! What I absolutely loved were the lessons. Before, I already had what we can call a "tech" job, but I was only doing meetings and I had lost the dev part I loved. I needed to improve myself because in the tech world, if you're not following the trend, you're quickly outdated. I wanted to learn new things which can be helpful for the job world, and it's done ! Now, I want to be a dev fulltime, in my company or elsewhere, will see ! All I can say is a big thanks to La Capsule. Read less

I enjoyed the method based on projects, it really helped us to use the notions from our lessons right away, it was tangible and not too much on the theory side, and that's what I like. In the end, all the batch become familiar with the method and the notions so we share the same way to do things and it's easier to work together, I even work today with alumnis from my batch. Which was important for me was to discover the logic behind code and to be more knowledgeable. I'm a "do it yourself" kind of guy, I like to learn by myself, and with La Capsule, I had this freedom to learn and experiment as I wanted but also a structure to know what to do with all the resources. I loved it, the teachers were so nice, and I thought the mix between in class and at home lessons was well done. Initially, I'm a psychologist and I worked with public institutes, I didn't need to code. But I always wanted to know how to code and create my own app, my project, and do it from abroad ! Now, after La Capsule, I feel ready. One of the best decision I made, and I'll do it again.  Read less

I was in a small batch, and I followed some classes from home. We had a lot of group projects which helped to create a bound between all of us. The program is really intensive, so having this friendship and contact was really helpful. The projects are really important for a better understanding of our lessons. The promises are kept : I started from the bottom and now I feel so comfortable with code I want to be a dev. Before, I was in something that has nothing to do with technology. I have some friends who were dev and I wanted to be a part of it, so I went to La Capsule. I'm so glad I did it ! And with the diploma we pass at the end, we have a huge avantage on the job market (huge argument to negotiate wages).  Read less

La Capsule was everything I wanted : they have a true method based on group works but also autonomy, with a lot of help and exchanges with the teachers on our projects and improvement. The buddy system and all the group projects really was what I loved the most. all started with a Wordpress blog. I wanted to create my own blog to share some content, but I realized I wanted to know more about this tool and tech in general. Coming from the optical world, I've never been confronted to code in my daily life. So I decided I wanted to learn to be more independent, to do things by myself, but I didn't wanted to learn alone, I really wanted a structure with teachers and projects. To do all be myself with all the resources you can find on the web wasn't my thing.  It was so different and so cool I actually decided to become a dev myself. It's all new for me, it's really out of my confort zone, but it's much more rewarding and I'm doing something I love. If I had to do it again, I'll do exactly the same ! Read less

The atmosphere between all of us was really cool, there is a huge group dynamic. I found the experience very useful for my professional life,  and I truly liked La Capsule because their program is different. We taught us Javascript, which is a very high requested language on the international job market. The feeling with the team during my interview really was what make me choose La Capsule. A caring team, close to us, with projects : perfect ! Read less

I wanted to learn Javascript and its entire ecosystem in a school close to my home and La Capsule perfectly met these two criteria. It teaches the language I wanted to learn and was easy to access for me since the campus is located in the city center of Lyon. La Capsule’s Fullstack program allowed me to go back to what I wanted to do. What surprised me the most was the modernity, all the technologies we use and the app we were able to develop. I really enjoyed the theoritical aspects the morning and the DIY the afternoon. After my 10 weeks at La Capsule, we really had a global point of view of how work a webapp, a mobile app, how works back-end and so on...  Sebastian is completely available and gave us a lot of freedom during the projects. Everyone was really nice and we really helped each other, especially thanks to the buddy program. I recommend La Capsule because their learning method is efficient.  Read less

 It's very intense, with a lot to learn. We worked a lot on projects, which I really appreciated. La Capsule taught me so many things in such a short time, a real routine inspired by the bootcamp state of mind, the same energy and it helps me to stay focused on my goals when thinking about everything I have done. 
The team is so nice, the teachers are always there when you need them, no one is left out, you're always sharing something with someone. 
After my business studies, I decided to attend computer science classes to learn to code web and mobile app, but it was not what I expected. I didn't want to wait years to launch my projects and that's why I decided to go to La Capsule in Paris Coming from far away (Reunion) it was a huge investment to attend this training but it was worth it. Today, La Capsule remains the best decision I have made for my professional future.
I continue to work on my mobile app and, at the same time, I'm a tech consultant. La Caspule changed my daily life. Thanks a lot to the team !  Read less

 I'm currently working in a startup, and one of our dev we just hire attended La Capsule, and it really strike a chord with me and my projects. I was looking for a coding training which fitted my needs and rythm, and all my dev team told me to do it, so I did ! And I absolutely don't regret it : I completely loved it. The training is qualitative and operational, the dev who come from La Capsule are ready for the professional world. My company allowed me to go to La Capsule for my training, and when I came back with all my new skills, I was promoted. My company took this opportunity to hire 3 of my friends from La Capsule as dev in my team because they understood the potential of this training for a dev, and I think they'll do it again. It was kind of amazing, I met amazing people, and I feel like I've grown a lot.  Read less

I attended the Fullstack training in Lyon and it was just amazing ! This bootcamp, though intensive, taugh me a complete overview of how an app works from start to finish! If you do this seriously, you will acquire incredible skills and you'll be able to explore any areas of programming that you want after that ! I am very proud of what I have accomplished in such a short time and I have grown from these 3 months of training. And this is all thanks to a great pedagogy and amazing and passionate people, especially our teacher Sébastien who showed a great sense of pedagogy, support and infinite patience, It really made a difference ! Read less

I just finished the fullstack training in Paris and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by the level of the training.  I have always wanted to learn how to code and the idea of becoming a mobile developer has been running through my mind for a while now. I did a lot of research on the languages used in programming, the quality of the training and also on the host campuses. I found that the language that would give me the most professional opportunities was Javascript. Although I wanted to do mobile development, it would allow me to be versatile and also code for the web. I looked at the feedbacks of the different schools that offered Javascript training and La Capsule always came out. I also looked what their campus looked like, and the one in Paris was bright, it offered large spaces and it's the type of space I like to work in.  I learned all the skills I needed to become a mobile developer in just 10 weeks. After this training, I joined a startup to do an internship and I was hired right after that!  Read less

I attended La Capsule because the course was highly recommended by people I knew who had done it and who are now web and mobile developers.  Before doing the bootcamp you have to do some preparatory courses. You start the bootcamp with the basics in html, css and javascript. The program is intensive and takes place over 10 weeks during which you code 10 projects. My favourite project was the final project. With my team we were able to manage our product from A to Z. Getting into project management mode was a big plus for me. Initially I joined La Capsule to become a web developer but I discovered that other jobs could be accessible such as Product Manager.  So I started looking for a Product Manager position right after I got my Web and Mobile Developer Project Manager title. Thanks to my past experience as a manager, and to my new skills acquired during the bootcamp, I had no trouble finding a job in a tech startup.  I chose to do the training on Marseille's campus. The living and working environment is very pleasant and I really recommend this campus if you hesitate with another city ! Read less

 La Capsule allowed me to acquire hard and soft skills very quickly. I followed the Fullstack programme during my gap year and I was able to learn how to manage, develop and create digital projects from scratch.  My ambition is to work in the tech industry and more specifically in a startup. I really feel that the courses I attended could help me to reach my goals in this direction. I have acquired all the necessary know-how to find my dream job in this innovative sector. Today I attend a Master 2 and I feel that I have more  insight on my course projects compared to my peers who did not follow any coding course other than business school.  I have already been able to talk to a few recruiters and I am convinced that it is a real added value for us, students, to be trained in digital professions. Fullstack training allows us to stand out on the job market !  Read less

Coming from a world quite far from tech and its environment but having always had a passion for computers and digital, after 15 years spent as a salesman in the construction industry, I finally took the step! After a lot of reflection and discussions with people in the field, the best solution to move forward was to train in order to obtain new skills and become credible on the job market.

In this search for solutions adapted to my environment, my professional life and my private life, La Capsule Academy seemed to me the best compromise between the timing of the training (10 weeks) and the technical qualities required by most employers (Fullstack javascript). The full JavaScript curriculum, which is the most requested programming language at the moment, allows you to code both the frontend and the backend, a double competence of project manager appreciated by all. The whole thing is enhanced by one of the most famous frameworks in the devs' world: React / React Native for its mobile version.

The experience of my 10 weeks at La Capsule lived up to my expectations. The La Capsule team took care of me from the beginning to the end of my course, the Teachers and TAs were present and benevolent whenever the need arose. I saw my learning curve advance from week to week until the end of batch project. The Project Based Learning system (10 technical projects to be completed in 10 weeks) is a major asset of this training by consolidating the knowledge acquired with each new iteration. As well as the Buddy system which allows us to work in teams and to help each other if a concept has not been assimilated.

Today I am certainly a junior but no less autonomous on the design of my applications, which allows me to design by myself the prototypes (MVP) of my ideas and to integrate various APIs, databases, visuals, etc. and all that in only 10 weeks! This training also allows me to understand the tech world in a different way and to discuss with people native to this field without problems.

The bootcamp format is quite intensive and requires a lot of work and personal involvement (400 hours of work in 10 weeks and 50 hours of preparation before the training), so it may not be for everyone. But if you have the motivation and the desire to change your life very quickly and efficiently, then go for it because the training is well worth the investment. Read less

I know some people are skeptical about bootcamps, but La Capsule trully opens a world of amazing work opportunity ! I graduated a few months ago and 80-90% of the people in my batch are in a job or at least in an internship. 

At the Capsule, you learn how to work with JS, especially React and React Native (most of the people working there are React developers). The training was really good, we coded a total of 8 projects + 1 personal project during the whole program, it really helps to get the hang of it and to be comfortable at the end.

We were well supervised by experienced teachers, the classes are of a ideal size (no more than 25-30 people per batch) and the program is quite complete. At the end of the program, you really have a sufficient level to start as a junior and according to the first feedback I had, the companies are very satisfied. Read less

I attended La Capsule FullStack training in Lyon, and it was an heck of an experience. Sebastien, the teacher, was so caring and pedagogical, always available for us ! I learned a lot more than in the last 4 or 5 months I was studying by myself.
The bootcamp is amazing, and very well designed. Each day would start with a lesson in the morning, and in the afternoon we would crack our mind with the weekly project, trying to solve programming problems. All this thanks to a great platform, where we could open a ticket to ask for a teacher support super easily ! 
The last 2 weeks of the bootcamp are dedicated to our final project. It is amazing to see the actual accomplishment of all this work ! I finished my bootcamp, but I'm not done learning! Thanks to this bootcamp, I open myself to many opportunities! !!! Read less

In just a couple of weeks, I was able to code my own MVP. I can manage both frontend and backend. At La Capsule, the program allows us to learn to code our tech product from A to Z. It's ideal when you want to create your application by yourself. It enables to better manage our costs. 
Before starting this adventure, I was a health engineer. For a few years now, I have noticed certain needs that are very present in this field, particularly among caregivers. There are a lot of problems in terms of time management for them and the exchange of information. 
To fix this, I had the idea to create a mobile application that would allow them to make their lives easier. I quickly realised that developing an application with an external service provider could be very expensive. Especially during the first few weeks of launch because of the risk of bugs... So I finally decided to invest in myself and my own skills. To help me develop programming skills I chose to join La Capsule. I read a lot about their Fullstack program and it would allow me to code a website and a mobile application. I found it great to reach the goal I had set myself!
In 10 weeks I was able to learn how to code web and mobile apps in fullstack. I have a slight preference for the front end. It allows me to make the application as easy to use as possible to facilitate the work of caregivers, and for that you have to be creative !
After launching the MVP of the application a few weeks after La Capsule, I am now looking to implement new features to my application. To do this, I am using La Capsule's pedagogical platform which is accessible for life. It also allows me to access the latest updated courses and thus to always remain at the cutting edge of technology.The teachers and alumni are really attentive after the batch. We have a platform where we all help each other to debug our sites, we give each other tips too. It's great because you don't feel alone after the program, you are accompanied. 
Thank you La Capsule for giving me the opportunity to reach my goals. Read less

 I had the chance to learn how to code by attending La Capsule bootcamp and it was the best decision that I’ve ever made ! The program is intense and obvisouly, you must prepare yourself for these 10 full-time weeks ! But you won't regret it! The courses and teachers are so interesting and well organised. I’ve learnt so much through the program, way more that what I could have learn on my own.The teachers are amazing, they were students before us and are so eager to help us improve our code. They give us really good advices and tips and I was particularly moved by their kindness.
Being everyday in pairs with a different « buddy » was also really helpful to learn, because we could help each other

Joining La Capsule was the best decision to switch career. The journey was just amazing and I’m proud to be a part of the community now!!!
