I'd searched for bootcamps and was quite happy to find the best ranked one (Le Wagon) in my city: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The experience was fantastic from the beginning and not only our group could develope amazing projects, we were also taught on how to plan, build and manage those products. With the Covid-19 issue, we had to move rapidly to online classes but we didn't lose quality - in fact, I think we got even closer. I recommend Le Wagon as a life-changing experience and an exceptional way to gain autonomy and self-confidence in building digital products and connecting to an international community of developers.

My experience at this bootcamp was more than I expected.

My intention when I joined this program was to merely be able to develop a web-app but I left, not only with the right conceptual tool-set to attack problem-solving critically and creatively, but with a great community on top of whose shoulders I can stand. The people behind this bootcamp have made sure to think about every possible detail that can benefit you in your learning process, and the quality of the experience clearly shows all of this. Plus, I didn't only learned a humongous amount of skills in a short period of time, I also had a lot of fun while doing it. Yoga classes in the afternoon were a great way of letting of some steam after some intense debugging, going out after a long day with my teachers and fellow students was always very entertaining. I think none of this was a mere coincidence. I think the Le Wagon model is constructed around this idea of creating the perfect context for the student to really take the most advantage of what is being taught to her. - JuliaGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • Mexico CityJun 29, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

First of all I'd like everyone to know that attending a boot camp doesn't make you job interview ready. You'll still need to study stuff like data structures and practice solving algorithms. You are looking at a couple of months of studying on your own. Le Wagon doesn't prepare you for that, but neither do most of the coding boot camps. My general wish is that this was somehow mentioned somewhere before you join the boot camp or somewhere along the way.

You'll still need to study stuff like data structures and practice solving algorithms. You are looking at a couple of months of studying on your own. Le Wagon doesn't prepare you for that, but neither do most of the coding boot camps. My general wish is that this was somehow mentioned somewhere before you join the boot camp or somewhere along the way. Or probably I should have done my own research better -- whatever it is.
Regarding Le Wagon boot camp those are the things I enjoyed:
1. People. Teachers were absolutely amazing. Very talented, dedicated when guiding us through the process, and patient.
The boot camp manager Andrea was absolutely amazing. She would always help with things smallest and biggest, and would always find time to hear you out with any questions and concerns.
My classmates were pretty great. It was easy to make friends as we seemed to share similar values and goals.
2. Social aspect. We had all sorts of activities and outings organized for us, such as visiting popular attractions, bar outings, even yoga!
3. Collaboration. They have buddy system where you work each day with a new person on exercises, which enforces you to vocalize your thought process and mimics real world pair programming. Towards the middle of the course we all worked in the groups of 3 or 4 on Airbnb clone and our final project. That mimicked real world standup meetings, code reviews, and tasks delegation.
4. Tech stack. Ruby on Rails, HTML, CSS, JavaScript combo was exactly the tech stack I was looking for.
5. Definitely can't beat the price which was around $5,000 but ended up less for me after the discount for women in tech. They do have early bird discount as well I think.
6. I loved working on the final project with my team. It's really thrilling to have an idea and work with like minded folks on bringing it to life. Sense of accomplishment and celebration during the final demo day was real.
Things I didn't enjoy or think could have been done better or differently:
1. Pace. It was extremely fast paced with no time to digest the concepts. I'm not entirely new to coding, yet by the week 5 I felt like I couldn't pack concepts into my head anymore. We had pretty much a day for each concept (listening to the lecture in the morning, pair programming the whole day, and then live code in the evening), and the following day we would be learning a new one. That's 10 hours of coding a day every day for 9 weeks with the new material each day. Some of my classmates at some point of the course got lost and were not able to catch up. By the week 7 I simply burned out and almost dropped out myself.
2. I didn't enjoy our attendance being monitored as if we were high school students. All the lectures were recorded and available for viewing on the portal. Better approach in my opinion would be letting folks have their own judgement which lectures they want to attend in person and which to watch on their own as long as people watch them and do the exercises. That would help people manage their energy and prevent folks from being exhausted towards the end of the course.
That's pretty much it. Turned out to be quite a long review, but I feel like it touched pretty important points for folks making decision which boot camp to join. Looking back it was overall a great experience. Throughout the course I felt supported by the Le Wagon team and met bunch of amazing people some of them I can call friends. - Chris WestermanGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonJun 29, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

After spending 10 years in the hospitality industry spanning multiple departments one thing became clear, the key to future success rests heavily in a thorough understanding of new technology. Le Wagon’s fast paced, 9 week curriculum is perfect for turning students of all backgrounds into junior full stack developers. The daily learning schedule is structured for students to get out of the program what they put in, with morning lectures introducing each topic followed by a series of daily challenges to nail home the concepts. After graduating from the Full Stack Development program I had all the confidence and know how needed to move forward with a career in web development. - LiGraduate Developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MelbourneJun 29, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Le Wagon gives me what I need to become a developer.
From the 9-week long coding bootcamp I got technical skills including Ruby, Rails, HTML/CSS, JavaSctipt, product design and deployment(Heroku), which make it possible for me to build a fully-functioned web application from scratch.

Besides the technical skills, I would say I got some more valuables things from this journey - the ability to learn, the way of thinking & solving problems, the way people communicate & collaborate in tech industry. During the booctamp we were all encouraged to collaborate with our 'buddies' (pair programming partner), to ask for help, and to share our thoughts and ideas among the whole batch. These experiences helped me a lot when I did my interview for a graduate program.
I am happy I made the decision to attend Le Wagon, it does give me what I need to become a developer. So if you are really keen to start a career in tech, and have the willingness to keep learning, Le Wagon is definitely an amazing choice. - Anthony PasslerGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonJun 26, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The experience was incredible, its amazing the amount of Information your brain can process and the way Le Wagon have structured their bootcamp in phenomenal. I really enjoyed the fact that its a product-oriented approach where there is lots of hands on work as well as the buddy system which teaches you to work with different people and learn different ways of thinking because you get paired with a new person everyday. The teachers are always ready to help you when needed and there are no stupid questions! Looking at my final project (helprcommunity.com), I still can’t believe my team and I managed to pull this off in 2 weeks.

I always had lots of entrepreneurial ideas, but never felt ready to test or launch those ideas, because I had no technical skills. Directly after my bootcamp at Le Wagon in Paris, I developed the MVP of one of those ideas. Today, I completely pivoted from that idea and work on a new MVP. Being able to code gives me huge flexibility and enables me as an entrepreneur to test projects at almost no cost.

I always wanted to learn to code so I took online courses that I found interesting, but it never worked for me.

After I while I’ll get busy from work then I’ll end up forgetting everything I studied which was a waste of time. That was when I started looking for places where I can focus on studying. And when you search for bootcamps, Le Wagon is always on top of review sites. I was skeptical at first, but still chose them because I liked their curriculum the most. I will be honest with you that the 9 weeks will be intense and extremely hard especially if you have a limited coding experience like me. It won’t be a vacation and sometimes you’ll think of throwing your laptop away and just quit during the first 3 weeks. But don’t worry, the teachers are excellent and amazing communicators that you will be able to get through everything just fine. Overall, it was a great experience and lived up to the reviews. I would definitely recommend it to anyone considering on attending one of their courses. - PinsGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • TokyoJun 19, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

if you are gonna be a remote student, this is for YOU! I couldn't be there at the school physically due to the whole COVID situation and lock down. Was really worried in terms of the whole experience and learning process but the whole online remote teaching system they came out with, was FANTASTIC. Of course it would been nice to meet everyone in person, but I didn't feel alone as a remote student, everyone was friendly!

Fantastic experience, solid course
I had the pleasure to attend the Wagon during a not-so-great time, in April-May 2020. The entire team really outdone themselves to make our learning experience go as smoothly as possible. You can feel the progression throughout the bootcamp, and the pedagogic team really cares for their students. All in all a fantastic bootcamp.
