The bootcamp is quite maths-oriented so you really get to understand what's behind machine learning models (you do not just implement them). I recommend having good basics skills in maths/statistics and python if you're planning to join the data science bootcamp. Teachers and members of the organization were super friendly and helpful. They pay lots of attention in your good understanding of the course. Also Le Wagon has a huge worldwide community. I would definitely recommend if your looking for an intensive data science bootcamp.- NicolasJun 18, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Incredible experience !
Spending these two months at Le Wagon has been an incredible experience.
The atmosphere is very good, the teaching staff is very friendly.
The idea of working with a different buddy every day is amazing.
It's a very intensive training but very well supervised, I am now passionate about code and I can't wait to practice it in my next job. - JiFullstack web developper • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisJun 18, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Intense but worth every penny...
With a former experience as software engineer in industrial printing, I had reached a point in my career where I wanted to change course and invest into a new career to bring a true meaning to my everyday activity.

My investigations led me to turn into Data Sciences and I liked the booster that an almost 10 weeks bootcamp could bring. From the very start, once you pass the necessary python and maths warm-ups, you will learn entirely new concepts every.single.day. Yes, this is intense (this is what you paid for!) and can be overwhelming at times but in the end you will get all the intuitions of a Data Scientist and understand all the roles a data scientist can fulfill in the data and IA domains.
Concerning the teaching method, lectures are built as a thorough resources with extra pointers to dive into anytime you want to dig further into those concepts. Exercises and lectures are constantly reworked and refined which makes « Le Wagon » a truly agile learning structure offering lifetime access to new content once you join the alumni fellowship. But be certain that you will be given truly up-to-date content.
Moreover the teaching process (lecture, exercices, end of day recap) involves a full team of teacher assistants during the whole exercices phase is meant to leave No-one in the corner.The teaching team is energetic, composed of teachers and former students that are eager to share their past and present experiences and committed to the success of your bootcamp. And the level of commitment of that team, especially during the project phase, is nothing short of remarkable. I owe them, as well as with the teaching process, a huge thank you to have successfully rekindled the fun in coding and algorithmic that I thought I had lost for good. And eventually it opened new doors that I thought were not meant for me…
In short let’s say that the fame that « Le Wagon » has gained over the years is well deserved! Dive in and you will be rewarded! - Celia TracheGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisJun 18, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I learned so much in such a short time, and the progression is crazy : at the end of the 9 weeks, we acquire reflexes and we master the basics. I feel totally ready to land a job as a junior developer.
The project weeks bring another dimension to the bootcamp. We work as a team and we give our all to deliver the best possible app !

Trust the process
Le Wagon Paris Bootcamp was an incredible experience. I left my previous company to learn how to code and have more technical skills. At the end of the day, thanks to the high quality of the program and teachers, this bootcamp gave me the opportunity to create and learn the code easier than I expected. More than a program that enables you to learn how to code, I recommend it should you seek a way to learn how to be a developer. - Chenchen ZhengBack-End Developer at Matera • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisJun 17, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The friendly and collaborative environment is, in my opinion, a key factor of success, and my 10 weeks of bootcamp proved it.This training is a very good complement to my initial scientific training, which is starting to be outdated, and to my professional management experience. I am sure that being comfortable with data science, which I hope to be now, will be a strong positive complement for my future professional career. - Santiago CarideGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • Buenos AiresJun 14, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Le Wagon provided excellent help and motivation. The course is very practice-oriented. The teachers are more likely to be experts rather than academics. The campus has multiple exercises, and ressourse to keep on track. The first 3 weeks where to set the basis of coding, data-viz and the toolkit. So be prepared to dive in DL and ML starting on the 16th day. This is important: be fresh because there begins the real action. The material is available for ever to review it, so you can see it over and over. The lecture are well prepared and the exercises can be challenging. The team (teachers and ta) are really helpful, the atmosphere is excellent for learning.
I am still looking for a good job, I guess that that will be the last evaluation of the course. - Julia FredericoFull Stack Developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • Rio de JaneiroJun 03, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
The coding bootcamp
Le Wagon is the coding bootcamp if you really want to learn how to learn. It's challenging and rewarding in all the right amounts, the staff is beyond attentive and the teachers are just amazing. I had the most rewarding learning experience ever the 2 intense months of the bootcamp and it really paid off on my career. I was hired in less than a month after completing the bootcamp. - ThembiSenior Analyst • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MelbourneMay 31, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

My overall experience was very positive. I won’t lie, it was very challenging and confronting you grasp vast amounts of information, but I’m honestly glad I went through that, it was the best way to learn at a fast-paced (the tech industry is naturally fast-paced anyway).
I don’t have a negative comment, but more so a suggestion to help students cope with stress during a massive project. I personally coped well under stress, but others not so much.

Great bootcamp, life changing
Before I joined the LeWagon bootcamp, I was working in corporate jobs that were becoming increasingly uninteresting and unfulfilling. I had thought about a career change for some time but never had the knowledge of how to do that without going back to university, or just moving into something else that was equally uninteresting to me. At the same time I was always having a lot of ideas for software businesses, but I was unable to execute on them since I didn't know how to write code. It'...Before I joined the LeWagon bootcamp, I was working in corporate jobs that were becoming increasingly uninteresting and unfulfilling. I had thought about a career change for some time but never had the knowledge of how to do that without going back to university, or just moving into something else that was equally uninteresting to me. At the same time I was always having a lot of ideas for software businesses, but I was unable to execute on them since I didn't know how to write code. It's always scary to leave a job and completely change career, especially when you don't know what the outcome will be. But I'm so incredibly glad that I took the plunge and enrolled in the the LeWagon web development bootcamp - I can honestly say it's one of the best decisions I've made in my professional life.
The bootcamp, while jam-packed with value and incredibly interesting, is hard. You are condensing what would usually be years of content into a 9-week timeframe. That's also the main draw card, though, since you acquire such a valuable skillset in a very, very short amount of time. For that reason my advice would be to make sure you are thoroughly prepared with basic programming knowledge before you start the bootcamp to ensure you keep up. LeWagon provides a pre-course set of materials to get up to speed, but I would suggest even going beyond that and nailing down those fundamental concepts (loops, functions, conditionals etc.) with additional material before starting - there's plenty out there. Aside from that, the program is really well structured and gets you to learn in the most effective way possible - by doing. The day is typically begun with a 1.5 - 2 hour lecture, and then you're off and coding for the rest of the day. The material and amount of work is enough to be challenging and difficult, but still achievable enough so that you see yourself making progress and you're motivated to continue. I can't speak highly enough of the teachers and assistants, who give really engaging lectures, and who are incredibly helpful during the course challenges and in project week. This is true inside and outside of 'course hours' and I've had plenty of ongoing help from them even after the course was well and truly completed.
In the final 2 weeks of the program you get to actually build a real software product that can be used in the real world, with a team of your peers. You may even be fortunate enough, as I was, to have your own idea voted to be the project you work on. This was the most rewarding and engaging part of the whole course for me. You get to put everything you've learned over the last 7 weeks into practice to build a product that you just never think could be built in under 2 weeks. It's exciting, challenging, stressful, fun and most of all extremely rewarding to go through that process and to have a fully fledged product at the end of it is incredible.
I now have the ability to bring a highly valuable skill set to any company I work with, and can build new products whenever I have an idea. I keep saying to my wife it feels like I have super powers. I've recommended LeWagon to many of my friends already, and would strongly encourage anyone who is on the fence to take the plunge and enroll. It's been positively life changing for me.
