I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience: the wonderful trainers; the team of students; the course content; the structure of the course (love the alternating project and theory weeks as it helps you solidify the concepts and build up a great portfolio); the small class size; and the great place you get to study. Overall I really enjoyed everything I learnt and made some friends; and even though I attended having barely written any code before and from a totally different career path it prepared me for my first developer job.- Egecan ÇitimFull Stack Developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • IstanbulOct 22, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
A Life Changing Experience
I believe Le Wagon is the best place to change your life. I was a complete beginner before I joined Le Wagon and the biggest fear I had going into the bootcamp was that I wouldn’t be able to learn how to code. However, I learned so much in the first 2 weeks, that I grew confident and realized that I was capable of a lot more than I had expected. That feeling of conquering a fear, learning something new, it was the most rewarding experience.

However, I learned so much in the first 2 weeks, that I grew confident and realized that I was capable of a lot more than I had expected. That feeling of conquering a fear, learning something new, it was the most rewarding experience.
I really enjoyed the curriculum and challenge-based learning. I’ve always felt that practice makes perfect and I realise now that this is also the best way to learn how to code. As someone who has always liked design, I found the front-end section of the curriculum to be the most enjoyable of the bootcamp and learning CSS and Javascript was great
I really enjoyed building a new startup in the last 2 weeks of the bootcamp. Our team realized what we were capable of and created a unique web app by working extremely well together. I still miss the bootcamp a lot. The daily routine and feeling that we were on a learning journey, discovering something new on a daily basis; that was amazing
The team spirit with my other buddies from the bootcamp was fantastic and I miss chatting with them and solving coding problems together. I look forward to keeping in touch and seeing how they develop as coders. Outside of coding, Le Wagon was the first time that I’ve been in such a diverse environment.
Communicating with people from all over the world was a great experience for me, it really broadened my horizons. My time with Le Wagon was completely unique and after I graduated I was especially surprised by the size of Le Wagon’s global network of 9,000 alumni. Everyone is on Slack which means that you can contact them with the push of a button.
I check Le Wagon’s alumni channel at least twice a week and receive really useful notifications which are helping me to continue learning through the network.
Thanks to Le Wagon I’ve discovered a passion for software development, especially on the front-end. My goals now are much clearer and I’m looking for a good income at a great tech company which has a friendly and positive work-culture.

Amazing how much I learned in a short period of time, became part of an awesome community, and it is already having great effects in my career.
The bootcamp I attended was 100% remote, since it took place during the most sensible period of the pandemic (Sao Paulo, batch #446). Nevertheless, the staff worked really hard so we could experience all the tools and cool things of a regular classroom course. Online classes every morning, then sitting on a virtual table to code in pairs and solve complex challenges, until a live code in group at the end of the day.

Online classes every morning, then sitting on a virtual table to code in pairs and solve complex challenges, until a live code in group at the end of the day. Teachers would constantly join us at the table to help with the challenges, and it was great to always have their help. The school often organized virtual lunches with former students, happy hours and even yoga classes! The last three weeks were dedicated to projects, and we proposed and created two awesome web applications, in groups. It was a great experience and I miss it already. - Elena DincaGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonOct 21, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Awesome bootcamp
Best decision I ever made for my career. As oceanographer I always had to work with coding languages, but at the same time I didnt have the programmer mindset, hence I was always strugling to do my daily tasks. The bootcamp at Le Wagon really helped me, and I believe part of this is because of their metodology, and part because of the amazing staff they have in Rio, with really good teachers! I am so in love with coding now, and maybe a twist in my career is about to happen. - Ayan AliGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Part-time • LondonOct 14, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Best bootcamp to learn coding
I was always passionate about technology and after graduating a law masters degree in IT law, I decided to join Le Wagon Bootcamp in London. I was not disappointed from the super helpful TAs to how the course was structured, I’m fully happy with my decision. During 9 intense weeks I managed to grasp the basic knowledge and skills to be able to work on projects by myself, after completing a fully-working website, Fitmapp, with a team of 2 other people. - Wince S.Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MontrealSep 29, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I found Le Wagon after a serious of research and have spoken to a friend who completed her bootcamp with Le Wagon Barcelona and was super happy about her experience. I like that Le Wagon compared to other bootcamps available, are more focused on building the foundations of create an end product. This really helps for people like myself who have zero tech knowledge and background and be able to see what I would be able to build during and after the bootcamp. Additionally, all of the staff at Le Wagon Montreal are extremely approachable, helpful and really care for the students to ensure that its a right fit for you. I would highly recommend Le Wagon if anyone is every considering doing a bootcamp. - SamirStudent • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • TokyoSep 29, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

I have been asked to review my experience at Le Wagon Tokyo and it is with pleasure that I do so.
I would like to share here why I decided to join this Bootcamp, what I gained from it and how I would like to use these new skills.
A little self-introduction, I am french, 34 y.o living in Tokyo for 10 years leading one of the largest French company to grow in Asia.
I had a comfortable situation, good salary, respect and consideration from my peers. However, I felt that my experience reached a limit, I got asked to get back to France to become a director and settle down there.
I refused and wanted another challenge.
I navigated in the world of tech, digital, and innovation for a long time, but haven't really taken time or effort to dedicate myself to learning what it means to be in the tech side of the force.
I thought I knew. If you read this and you are not a developer, you think you know too... but trust me... you don't.
Why?
Joining Le Wagon, my aim wasn't to become a full-time developer but to be part of the crew and understand better the digital world. Speaking the same language and mostly being able to prototype my tech ideas.
In short, LW is a well-structured program, complete and product-oriented which I enjoyed - particularly at the end of the program, where it becomes more real, visual, usable. But I won't lie, it wasn't easy, I struggled, a lot and for "once" I wasn't the best / smartest in the room. I took my pride, put it on the side, got more humble, hanged on, and most of all trusted the process.
The program
You have to prep BEFORE the Bootcamp. It's really important to decide at least 1 month prior.
Don't worry, teachers are great and will take it step by step. But I would advise to start get familiar with some notions earlier to be aware of the vocabulary and concepts.
You know - returning an array- calling a method?....
Le Wagon starts from the basics - reviewing all aspects of Ruby and how things works. How it works and why.
you'll team up with someone different every day to do the exercises to support you and learn teamwork. You'll learn back end - front end - and finally how frameworks works.
RUBY - JS - SQL - HTML - CSS - REACT you'll learn a lot of different languages. No worries, you'll have to handle them because you'll have some projects/products to work on and to pitch to the world :)
Teacher are Amazing, Dedicated and will give all they got to help you 1 - Will question you to make you understand by yourself how to realize what you have in mind 2- Help you out if too complicated 3 - Make you feel like an idiot when you actually are one and got the answer all by yourself from the beginning... -You just needed someone to make you realize that you were actually an idiot :) and that's ok!:)
$
It is a money and time investment!
So it means that you need to dedicate yourself to it for the whole Bootcamp. Don't take it lightly.
If you wanna change your career or create something new, you got a whole organization and network which can make your ideas up and running for real. Use this time to try/craft your ideas.
Overall
You will become a product-oriented Fullstack dev with a network of 8000+ alumni.
I learned a lot thanks to Le Wagon. And I know that I am capable of releasing a Webapp as of today.
I feel that I'll be able to use these skills either in the corp world and in my future start up projects. It's a door a whole new world, one that you'll be able to eat bit by byte.
