Spent 9 of the best weeks of my life at Le Wagon Barcelona. The course is structured fantastically and in just a short time I gained an entirely new set of skills, friends for life and a incredibly supportive network.

Simply the best bootcamp in Brazil if you are looking to learn how to code surrounded by creative and open-minded people. Their campus is great, the staff is very well-educated and receptive, and their curriculum is especially good for those who are looking for a career change and have an aptitude for technology! - Luis FreitasGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • CologneVerified by GitHubApr 24, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
A rewarding experience
I had a great experience at Le Wagon.
My personal goal for 2022 was to get out of my comfort zone and challenge myself by trying to shift into a career in tech. And I'm very happy that I decided to do that at a place like Le Wagon.

The pace is fast, yes, some days are tough, also yes, you will have moments where you feel overwhelmed, definitely yes, but seeing the amount of information you can absorb and what you can achieve in only 9 weeks is totally worth it.
Another thing that made this experience worth was the environment on campus. Coming from some difficult covid years, it felt so good to be able to be on campus and meet so many great individuals, from colleagues to teachers to staff and I will be forever thankful to all of them.

Data Science Bootcamp
I can really recommend the Data Science bootcamp at Le Wagon in Munich. Although it is an intense period of 9 weeks, you have the opportunity to not only learn A LOT everyday, but to be part of a team of people that are just as amibitious as you are. After learning about theories and concepts, you get corresponding challanges which make the new knowledge you have just learned stick. If you have questions at whatever point of the day, there are always very motivated teachers around you re...I can really recommend the Data Science bootcamp at Le Wagon in Munich.

If you have questions at whatever point of the day, there are always very motivated teachers around you ready to jump in and help you find the solution/answers yourself with their guidence. Even after the bootcamp, you can remain part of the huge Le Wagon community which I find not only helpful, but I am also grateful for that. - Diana BarrosoGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BarcelonaVerified by LinkedInApr 22, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

It seems impossible going from none coding experience to being able to build an app in just 9 weeks!; But it is indeed possible! At Le Wagon you’ll learn the foundations and you’ll develop a way of thinking in which is easier to learn any other programming language.
The quality of teachers and teacher assistants is extraordinary; whenever I had a doubt or I was confused with an exercise, I always received guidance and never felt uncomfortable asking for help. The Barcelona crew was always supportive, helpful, empathetic and kind. One of my favorite things about Le Wagon was that it felt as if we were a family, and even though that we were a super diverse group, we all came from different backgrounds and nationalities but among other things we had one special thing in common: We all wanted to change our life through learning to code. Le Wagon is amazing by itself, but having the opportunity to do the bootcamp in a vibrant city such as Barcelona is a great add on! - RayaneFull Stack Developer • Student • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BordeauxVerified by GitHubApr 21, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Super formation !
Jamais je n'aurais cru qu'en 9 semaines j'allais vraiment pouvoir apprendre à coder. Eh bien si ! J'ai été surpris par le programme extremement bien conçu qui permet d'apprendre à programmer même si on a jamais touché au code auparavant ! L'équipe est sérieuse, sympathique, dispo et passionnée.

Before coming to Le Wagon, my knowledge of coding was very insufficient and pre-mature. Having the support of such knowledgeable and skilled teachers made learning so motivational and inspiring. Going through this journey with 19 other students, some with more, some with less coding experience than myself definitely made the experience easier. Big thank you to the whole team for all the support! - Diego MarrufoGraduate • Coding Bootcamp Madrid • MadridVerified by GitHubApr 19, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

A few days ago I read this tweet that said that perfectionism was the mistake of thinking that all details matter equally. For some reason, that has stucked with me. And I feel like it's a very appropriate quote to define what I like about Le Wagon: it's about the details that matter.
We could talk in circles about learning or not learning Ruby. About focusing more on JavaScript. Maybe having a little more time with Rails outside of the frenzy of projects week. Fine. All of those would be valid observations.
But, to me, those are details that don't matter that much.
Because at the end of the day, I don't think those are the things that determine if doing Le Wagon is worth it. There's only so much you can do in 9 weeks, and I would have no other way of describing that time other than incredibly productive and exciting. While investigating other bootcamps many times I felt like they were selling a bit of a dream: 9 weeks and you will know everything. I always felt that Le Wagon was more honest and modest: in 9 weeks you will have solid fundamentals and yes, you will be ready to start working. As ready as you could ever be. Just be prepared to work for it and you will get all that you could ever need.
I am gonna tell you the details that do matter to me:
- That I felt and feel at home on campus
- That I had some of the best teachers of my life
- That I made friends that are dear to me
- That I was able to work on something that I could be proud of
- And yes, that I learned so much, so fast. And had a solid enough grasp to continue learning on my own.
From the start, I always felt that things in Le Wagon were made with passion and care. Maybe, just maybe I feel the need to emphasize this because every now and then the memories from Vietnam resurface: my university, high school and language classes. A small sense of dread and apathy in the curriculum and the activities that you did on your day to day. Places filled with wonderful teachers that could only do so much before they were crushed by the vile and dumb institution they were part of. And for no good reason.
I don't know how to explain the difference sometimes, maybe it's how well prepared all the activities and the platform is, maybe it's being surrounded by people with the same drive to learn that you have. But there is something very different and noticeable between the education that I received all my life and what I received in Le Wagon. Just a sense of "Oh, yeah. This was how education was supposed to be all along".
I liked that the classes were very well thought out. That you had exercises with their tests to check against. That you had a ticket system. The great teachers. The teachers taking a little bit of time to show us things that maybe weren't directly related to the course, but that were maybe as important. Those 15 mins nerding about keyboard shortcuts and VS Code extensions, or the history of web development. The odd interview of Matz, creator of Ruby, where he jokes about the inevitable demise of humans to Terminator. Or that one time where a teacher showed us Conway's game of life, and we felt a little bit prouder about being programmers too.
I know from learning Japanese that you don't *need* classes to learn something. You don't need university, you don't need a bootcamp.
But you do need people. People that care. People that are a joy to work with. And you do need some structure, a good routine and someone to point you in the right direction. And those are the things that you will always find in Le Wagon.

Web Dev Bootcamp
Such a great learning experience, the methodology used for learning coding is world-class! From knowing almost nothing about the subject to being able to build complex web-applications in a matter of 10 weeks. The school teaches Ruby on Rails which is a really intuitive language to learn, and gives you all the tools to become a professional developer. - Lucas VirgilGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BarcelonaVerified by GitHubApr 18, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Great learning experience!
Working as a business consultant, I wanted to add technical assets to my skillset. Le Wagon was the perfect match: it allowed me to develop these skills, thanks to its great pedagogical system and supporting teachers and assistants. The part-time program also offered me the flexibility to combine with my full-time job. 100% would recommend!
