Finding Le Wagon came at the right time for me. I wanted to learn how to code so that I could improve my work-life balance, and especially so I could work from home. At the time I was working long hours in the hospitality industry, and I felt it was time to make a change. The choice of bootcamp format for me was perfect, because all the other courses I saw took way too much time…and I wanted to learn quickly. After graduating, looking back, I think I made great progress. I was remote for almost the whole bootcamp, which is why the buddy-system of paired-programming was even more important for me. It was hard at first, but it was really helpful to be able to interact with the other students. I learned how to help them when they were stuck, and in return they helped me. Team-work was especially important during Project Weeks (when we built a new web app together). I met amazing team-mates and learned a lot from their analytical skills. Projects Weeks were the highlight for me and I’ll miss them the most. It was really exciting having the freedom to solve problems by ourselves and code real solutions in a real web app. This is when my confidence grew the most, we were really gelling as a team. Since graduating I’ve made use of Le Wagon’s amazing global community to reach out to alumni in different cities and brainstorm about their progress. It’s really exciting to be able to connect with other people internationally, especially in London where I’m looking for a job. Career Week – in Week 10 – was very helpful in terms of employment, because we received a ton of information, informing us on the different kinds of jobs out there and how to prepare for interviews. It gave me more confidence! Now I’ve learned how to search for answers, how to code independently and I’ve developed my skills to such an extent that I feel confident I can keep learning and improving by myself using what I learned at Le Wagon. - Andrea MazzaStudent • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MilanVerified by LinkedInApr 10, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Life Changing Experience!
I was proudly part of the batch 568 in Le Wagon Milan. It has been a really exiting journey, where I found teachers with a lot of knowledge and most important a real passion for teaching and coding.

I feel every day of the bootcamp that the team of Le Wagon Milan really wanted to make the students understand deeply all the concepts (and they reach always this objective ;) )
The bootcamp is intense but with really good human environment. The last weeks of the bootcamp are made for developing an app in small groups, this was amazing to experience coding in a team with all the best practice involved ;).
After the bootcamp teachers and the driver of the bootcamp are always available to mentor you about your level and for suggestions about your next steps in your career path. And not less important as an alumni you have access of all the courses and the community of Le Wagon for-ever.
If you are looking for a Bootcamp that not only "teach" but also "mentor" you, Le Wagon is definitely a good choice!

Great instructors, learning environment and exposure to industry practices
At the start of 2021, I took the plunge to learn Web Development full-time for 9 weeks at Le Wagon Singapore, after 2 years of trying to learn it on the side through free online courses.

My instructors, being experienced software developers and teachers, were great at breaking down concepts simply, clearly and memorably, and explaining how best practices would prevent sticky situations in the real world. They were really approachable and intentional in creating a safe environment to ask questions, make mistakes and grow, and my peers were collaborative and highly motivated too. We had a high teacher:student ratio of 1:4 (including the TA), which ensured we got timely help when we needed it.
On top of that, the syllabus was well-structured such that I could feel my progress every single day by simply trusting the process. The daily exercises, flashcards and live code tested my understanding and recall to solidify my learning. Besides code, we learned important industry practices by doing - applying Test Driven Development, Continuous Deployment and Agile Project Management in our 2 final projects.
The bootcamp also opened my eyes to the world of start-ups as we pitched our product ideas to actual VCs (venture capitalists), went through a product design sprint and demo-ed our MVPs (minimum viable products). My instructors challenged us to implement realistic features and worked with us through hurdles, so that we built 2 apps we can be really proud of. More importantly, I now have a good foundation upon which I can continue growing as a fullstack developer.

Attending classes and working in team to ship a complete web application product while working full-time was not easy. I sometimes heard me saying, "why am I doing this to myself?"! It helped tremendously when our teachers and TAs at LW Tokyo were extremely flexible and patient in accommodating our needs - switching smoothly to full remote due to the pandemic mid way, staying back to make sure we find a solutions to make our codes work, explaining things over... And it all made sense on the Final Project Demo Day when my team and I presented our product to more than 100 people and someone said they would like to test and use it! I took from LW Tokyo not only hands-on experience with web development and shipping a product, but also an incredible global alumni community where I can come for career advice for different countries, technical questions, inspiring entrepreneurial alumni - a community that I'm now proud to say I'm a part of.- JeremaiaGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonVerified by LinkedInApr 02, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Web Development courses - Full-time (9 weeks)
After I was placed on furlough over the summer I decided it was time to evaluate my career in events and consider what I wanted work to be like in the future.
I've always had a keen interest in web development and startups so the course at Le Wagon seemed ideal.
From the first day, I knew it was a good decision and I enjoyed every minute of it.

From the first day, I knew it was a good decision and I enjoyed every minute of it.
The course can be very challenging at times, but it's also highly rewarding and I would recommend it to anyone considering a career change or upskilling.
Due to Covid, my batch was completely remote and initially, I was a little disappointed, however, it quickly became clear that it comes with a lot of advantages like having a home setup with multiple screens, not losing time to commuting and being able to hop into a zoom room with a teacher in a matter of moments.
If you're considering it, please do go for it.
my only regret is not doing it sooner! - Eliza PlowdenJunior Developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonVerified by LinkedInApr 01, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Couldn't recommend it more!
I absolutely loved Le Wagon and had the best 10 weeks. The course structure, the teachers, the community: it's all perfectly thought-out and executed. I wanted to learn to code to make a dramatic career change from publishing to tech, and Le Wagon helped me to do so in just 9 weeks. Despite the entire bootcamp being held over Zoom (in lockdown in January 2021), the teaching standard and community still felt extremely strong. I couldn't recommend Le Wagon more. - Andrew WallaceGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • TokyoVerified by GitHubMar 31, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

After gaining exposure to the field of programming and basic data analysis across different engineering positions after graduation, I started enjoying working with data and thought to build my career in data science!
I had a very basic idea about data science, but considering how it's the state of the art field with an immense knowledge pool, I couldn't understand where to start, or what path to follow to study with it, let alone applying the broad field in any area. To my rescue, was this fantastic course of Le Wagon - data science course.
I decided to opt for this course, because of their well thought and researched curriculum, which is perfect for people who want to venture into data science, even if they do not have prior knowledge of experience of the field. This course let us not only gain the technical knowledge but also enables our minds to think analytically and logically, which is required of a data scientist. Moreover, the teachers are extremely talented, dedicated and friendly, making such difficult concepts really easier for us to understand! By the time we finished with the course, we realized that we now have a project we built using all the skills we learnt in those 9 weeks, an amazing skillset and a mind to use those skills further in different applications!
Not only that, they provided us with extremely resourceful career advices, workshops and seminars related to whole job search process in the field of data science and even how to further venture deeper into this field! Overall, this learning experience is truly life changing, and I'd recommend this course to everyone out there who want to build their career in data science! - Ruben RubilarGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • TokyoVerified by LinkedInMar 30, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

At the very first day I couldn’t even code a simple method that prints out your full name, and now I’m just about to get a job as a web developer, is unbelievable how in just 9 weeks (full-time course) they can give you the right skills and tools to be fully prepared for the real world as a web developer.
Teachers and staff members are just amazing, and is not just a bootcamp, is a whole community where you can always get a help from them even tho after completing the bootcamp and also they can help you in your job hunting, have access to lectures for ever, access to new events, etc.
To sum up, my experience was 10/10, it worth every single yen, if you want to change your career and explore new fields, this is the best investment that you can do for yourself. - Ryuichiro SuzukiGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • TokyoVerified by GitHubMar 30, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
The best learning experience
Overall, the teachers were very kind, friendly and helpful every time I went to them to ask questions, and the curriculum is very well designed and it enabled me to learn effectively and efficiently. They would happily take questions even if it is outside of the curriculum we're learning. This is the very difference between self-learning, the presence of a helping hand. - MartinGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonVerified by LinkedInMar 29, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing Experience
Before joining Le Wagon I was carrying out Master’s thesis research into the effects of stigma on implicit self-esteem. That was when I realised my future lies in data, so I enrolled in several short courses online to improve my abilities. Although it seemed like I learnt a lot from these courses there were many times that I felt lost and without anyone to turn to. There was clearly something missing. That’s why I decided to join the data science boot camp at Le Wagon.

That was when I realised my future lies in data, so I enrolled in several short courses online to improve my abilities. Although it seemed like I learnt a lot from these courses there were many times that I felt lost and without anyone to turn to. There was clearly something missing. That’s why I decided to join the data science boot camp at Le Wagon. Before joining the boot camp, I tried to make the best use of my time by completing all the pre-work suggested to us. I would 100% recommend this to anyone starting out on their boot camp journey as it eased me into the subject and meant there were no surprises when I started.
Once I joined the boot camp, I loved that I finally had an environment in which I could share confusions and victories or ask questions when I felt lost. It was amazing to work on the materials at my own pace and to know I could refer back to them when needed while getting feedback as I progressed.
I also appreciated the wonderful experience of being able to work as a team to produce a final project that I think none of us would have been able to achieve alone. In the end, I was truly proud of this project which was an online web service for autistic uses to understand more about emotions in an intuitive way. Coming from a rather tech. light background, I was unsure about getting into data science. However, now that I made the move I cannot emphasise enough how pleased I am and how much I would recommend Le Wagon to anyone interested in pivoting into data science. - Anne-Constance SIXdata scientist (entry-level) • GraduateVerified by LinkedInMar 29, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great experience !
My experience at Le Wagon has been an extremely rewarding one. The training is very dense, but the exercises are very well structured and the teaching material used is really complete and easy to use. The professors (and the team of teaching assistants) are there to answer our questions on all the steps and the buddying system really allows us to exchange easily, in a very stimulating atmosphere!
I recommend it 100%!
