Joining Le Wagon must have been one of the best decisions in my life! It's unreal how much you can learn in only 9 weeks. The completely hands-on approach and fast pace of a bootcamp are different to everything we’ve seen before.
The teachers and TAs were a huge support. Knowing most of them had been through the bootcamp themselves was a huge support as they knew the struggles we were all going through. Their patience and effort to explain us every single thing were impressive. <...Joining Le Wagon must have been one of the best decisions in my life!

The teachers and TAs were a huge support. Knowing most of them had been through the bootcamp themselves was a huge support as they knew the struggles we were all going through. Their patience and effort to explain us every single thing were impressive.
Having a buddy system and pairing up with different students everyday was super cool, as we got to meet and work with different people, but also because it's much more efficient, as you end up explaining things to each other and figuring the challenges out together.
One of the reasons I joined Le Wagon was the product-oriented approach they have. Being able to build two products from scratch in small teams, going from the UX/UI design, to the development behind it and finally pitching it on our Demo Day was amazing.
The atmosphere at the campus in Cologne was just great, the staff is amazing and the views from our office are the best. I would recommend Le Wagon to anyone looking for a coding bootcamp. And of course would recommend Cologne if you're looking to do it in Germany - the vibe of the city is awesome! 🚀- Jack MaoWeb Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonDec 14, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I've done some coding in the past but never had enough time or guidance to make a worthwhile app. When I looked for coding Bootcamps, I was almost shocked by the sheer number of and high ratings of Le Wagon. The numbers didn't lie: if you want to learn the basics of web dev and touch on a plethora of modern day programming basics (well, at least using the very user friendly Ruby and a tiny bit of JS), this course will be worth your time and money.
What are the weaknesses? Sure, more JS would have been nice in general. Ruby may not the single hottest language right now. Some TAs are (much) better than others. Maybe 3 weeks of project work is a bit much.
However, I think Le Wagon stands out because of three things and I expect them to get better, not worse over time:
1. Teaching materials are EXCELLENT. The challenges are truly hard. I went to a pretty good university (by UK standards) and am pretty logically minded I would say. I finished all mandatory challenges during the days (with TA help, one exception), just about. Never finished all optional challenges during the day
2. The teachers / TAs are great overall. Very knowledgeable, super helpful on strange and beyond-coursework borderline-CS questions (of which I personally had a lot), even and particularly during project week when you can do projects that really push the boundaries of the course
3. Le Wagon offers great value to students with comprehensive libraries of useful webdev tools and additional lectures which you can still access afterwards
Sure, bear in mind that this is a 8-week course not a 4-year computer science degree, and you're unlikely going to be the next Jobs after this bootcamp alone. However, if you have decided to do A bootcamp, I think LW is a great place to start - Ayelen K.Graduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • BerlinDec 14, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great Experience at Le Wagon Berlin
After 3 years working in Investment Banking, I decided to update my skill-set with some tools that I could use for whatever my next professional challenge would be. That’s why I decided to study Data Science.

Choosing Le Wagon was a no-brainer for me since it is the best coding school & their approach was exactly what I needed - a hands-on Bootcamp where you can learn by doing challenges.
In addition, some key competitive advantages I’d like to highlight are i) the Teaching Assistant support during challenges - that makes the difference if you're stuck with something you've never done before, ii) the continuous update of the lectures, challenges & program overall to be up-to-date in the field, and iii) their product-oriented approach - that makes the Bootcamp a pretty good approximation of the real working challenges, and hence, an easier landing in your next job :) - Henry DavisGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • AmsterdamDec 14, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Best Decision Ever!!! Highly Recommend
Being a Mom of a 3 year old during the COVID lock down and being a career changer, I was unsure of what to expect from the Boot camp. How hard would the challenges be? Will I be able to understand the concepts that would be taught? These were some of my concerns when I enrolled.

How hard would the challenges be? Will I be able to understand the concepts that would be taught? These were some of my concerns when I enrolled. But I was astounded by the amount of support you get from the Staff and the fellow team members. During enrollment interview, I went thinking that the Data Science course would be the right fit for me. Paal, the Melbourne Manager took the time - listened to my interests, passions and suggested that Web Development would be the right fit for me. He gave me a few days to decide, I followed his advice and joined the very next Web Development Batch in Melbourne and super glad that I did. I was lucky enough to learn from some of the Best Coders!!! CurriculumYou kick off the day with a morning lecture,then you get to do 3-5 mandatory challenges and a few optional challenges if you feel up for it. At the end of the day, you have a fun live coding session with your Teacher. The entire curriculum is designed in such a way that, you actually work with your team and use the Best Design Practices like GitHub, Agile Methodologies and even Pair Programming. The Best Part is that no one is left behind. If you are stuck at any point your Teachers are always there to guide you. Despite the course being a bit fast paced (I personally found it enjoyable...), there are a few catchup days included in the course schedule. I would never have guessed post bootcamp I would have the confidence to design an app from scratch to finish. And guess what, you learn all this in 10 Weeks. Skills Acquired during Bootcamp:- Using the Terminal, VS Code & GitHub- Softwares like (Ruby, SQL, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, SCSS, JavaScript, Ruby on Rails Framework)- Pair Programming- Agile Methodologies (SCRUM)- Confidence to present your code and develop an app start to finish Last but not least,Post bootcamp you unlock even more resources - more challenges, tutorials, career guidance ... The moment you enrol, the Le Wagon Team is invested in your success!

Best choice of my life!
So glad to have dedicated my whole summer to learning how to code! You get out of the BootCamp with that mindset that makes you want to learn more!
