As a data freelancer, I used to self-learn a lot. Applying to Le Wagon’s data science bootcamp allowed me to increase my skills far more quickly, by facing state of the art processes in only nine weeks. It was a real game changer for myself and my clients. The growing community of Le Wagon is also an incredible way to meet other professionals eager to share good time as well as new opportunities.- Martin NavarreteWeb Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisJun 10, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Remarkable pedagogy to teach coding
Being an IT Project Manager, I lacked the technical knowledge to interact properly with the developers team or fully understand the technical architecture of our solutions. To fix this I did Le Wagon full time bootcamp. In only 9 weeks I learned to code, made friends, and got good contacts in the tech industry.

Le Wagon teaches you the basics of coding, with which you can easily continue progressing and discovering new "gems" (pre-coded applications) that allow you to do almost anything you want.
And it is also a great way to enter into the digital start-up world.
I strongly recommend this bootcamp. The teachers and staff are great, friendly and fun!

- The teaching team is both highly qualified and passionate about coding. They are always ready to coach & help you in one to one and this is one of the main asset of the bootcamp as I don’t think I would have learnt so much in only 9 weeks without their help.
- Focus is on practice to make sure all the concepts are understood and assimilated as most of the day is dedicated to practical exercises with a great system of feedback telling you how well you performed.
- The program is very team oriented as you face your daily coding challenges everyday with a different “buddy” and then work in teams of four for your final projects. To me, it’s the perfect way to build strong bonds with your classsmates!
- Last but not least le Wagon team does a great job at connecting people through the events their organize weekly for the students: from the first welcome drink to the last demo day party, everything is made for you to know each other and develop your network. And it doesn’t stop there as you become part of Le Wagon Alumni that now counts more than 3000 students over the world who stay connected to each other through the many slack channels of le Wagon and of course through the many events organized by Le Wagon.
Thanks to Le Wagon, I now know how to code, how to design my own projects but I also met incredible people and made great friends! This has been one of the most incredible learning journey I have ever had. Some weeks may have been hard and pretty intense (hey it’s a bootcamp after all!) but if had to do it again I would not think twice about it! - LauraStudent • ParisJun 09, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I worked for 10 years in the digital and innovation field. Before Le Wagon, I never coded a single line of code. I did the 6 months part-time training. Development and programation is the main purpose of my work and I felt there was a gap between me and the developers because we could not speak the same language.

During Le Wagon training, I perfectly learn how to code and even more : I learned how to worked with teamate and a methodology to always increase my knowledge in development. The success of this formation is due to the teacher team (always 4/5 teacher by session) and their benevolence. The framework is also amazing : the large jungle helps give a very relaxing setting :) - PHDGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisJun 04, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Brilliant
Great syllabus : covers a lot of ground - not in great detail, but equips you with the tools to go further where you want to . Even with some relevant background, expect to work hard to fully benefit. Excellent teachers and TAs. Tried and tested organisation and tools. Extremely professional yet informal and friendly. Active alumni community. - KevinGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MilanJun 02, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing experience not just for aspiring developers, but also for professionals in business functions seeking technical literacy
After several years in the consulting world working alongside professionals in tech, I wanted to learn to code and better understand technical concepts and architectures that were becoming increasingly prevalent in my work. I tried several times to learn on my own using online resources, but found it difficult to stay self-motivated.

I tried several times to learn on my own using online resources, but found it difficult to stay self-motivated.
Le Wagon provided me with the structure and intensity I needed to learn quickly. The best part of the experience, beyond the traditional lecture format, is that you learn by doing. You spend most of the day practicing coding, and applying the skills you learned during the morning lectures. The latter part of the bootcamp is dedicated to building out full-scale projects, replicating the experience you would have as a real developer.
The course is rigorous and it will challenge you, but that is exactly why it is so effective. All of the instructors were incredibly helpful and patient in helping you get unstuck throughout the exercises and projects. If you're ready to put in the effort, you will come out of this program with the skills and knowledge to grow your professional career. - Etienne BurdetTechnical Project Manager • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisMay 31, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Brillant course, got me a job in no time
Ok now to the mudane details… Le Wagon's track is quite different from anything you will find on the net and is truly brilliant. Instead of focusing on eye catching features and technology names, it focuses on giving some really solid basics on the MVC desgin pattern and product lifecycle "the Github way". And that's all you need truly, to ship ton of product.

The schedule is awesome (the best benefit of the program), the content is great, the atmosphere is just perfect. It's all you need to be 100% percent on learning everyday.
If you want to develop products, code your own product or get more experience in doing so (e.g. for Product Owner jobs), I can't recommand enough. Forget the fancy React stuff, just learn a proven way to ship functionnal apps.
And again, it got me a job in no time. - ChristianProcurement development manager • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Part-time • ParisMay 30, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I needed to gain rapidly technical skills and to get to know this booming geeky world.
Le Wagon perfectly matched this goal and I can only recommend it to anyone in the same situation. At Le Wagon, I’ve experienced the most exciting learning experience. Each day is about discovering something new, getting to know a new person and exchanging ideas with smart people from incredibly diversified backgrounds. The teaching is extremely well-thought making it both accessible to complete beginners and exciting to students with more advanced knowledge.
I am convinced that today being able to code, to query a database, to design a product in sprint mode or to pitch an app idea are extremely valuable skills not only to geeks and developers but also to anyone in a business function. - JohnGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Part-time • ParisMay 28, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Bootcamp at Le Wagon
With three decades in the global news business as a photojournalist, photo editor and manager, I had the opportunity to make a career transition and enroll in the Fullstack Bootcamp for web developers. While in high school in the ‘60s I learned Fortran and later as a web consultant at a photography school in Paris I worked on SEO visibility in the early days of the internet in the ‘90s where HTML pages had to be tweaked to the algorithms of the different competing search engines.

While in high school in the ‘60s I learned Fortran and later as a web consultant at a photography school in Paris I worked on SEO visibility in the early days of the internet in the ‘90s where HTML pages had to be tweaked to the algorithms of the different competing search engines. In 2019 “Le Wagon” was my personal pivot, a challenge to learn how to code during their 9-week bootcamp bringing people from various professions and backgrounds into a dynamic environment with the goal of working in the start-up economy.
Learning at the bootcamp was intense - daily presentations to learn code, followed by exercises working with a different buddy each day, ending with a hour-long ‘live code’ session. And flash cards to review the course content each day. By the end of the second week, many of us were dreaming code in our sleep. An excellent teaching staff and a pedagogical program that has proven itself since the creation of ‘Le Wagon’. They have developed an environment where students of all technical levels can learn the tools needed to build web applications. Just excellent !
As “Le Wagon” simply states, “Change your life, learn to code”. - ThomasStudent • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisMay 28, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
