Honestly, I'd probably give this boot camp four stars. I did hate all the emojis and the words of encouragement saying you're now a "machine learning engineer" or a "Data Scientist", because let's face it, you're not. That's the reason for the one star. In the post 2022 market, completing a bootcamp isn't going to help you "change your life, break into tech". Just go onto the CS subreddits. You might actually be better off leaving the bootcamp experience off your resume as the market is...Honestly, I'd probably give this boot camp four stars. I did hate all the emojis and the words of encouragement saying you're now a "machine learning engineer" or a "Data Scientist", because let's face it, you're not. That's the reason for the one star. In the post 2022 market, completing a bootcamp isn't going to help you "change your life, break into tech". Just go onto the CS subreddits. You might actually be better off leaving the bootcamp experience off your resume as the market is oversaturated right now. If you're asking for job placement rates, be sure to ask for 2023 or 2024 stats, and in particular the roles people got. The marketing materials often highlight graduates who ended up at say a top company, failing to mention that 1) they were previously employed at a similar company in a different role, and 2) they graduated before 2022.
If you have 7k to spend and are just looking for a cool experience, go for it. If you're looking for a job, pick a different industry or do a legit MSCS or MSDS. Gatech's online Masters is about the same price as the bootcamp, but you'll have an actual degree. Nonetheless, even with a Master's finding a job will be an uphill battle. Good luck!- Diana MolchanovaGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Part-time Online • OnlineVerified by GitHubNov 28, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great Bootcamp for Data Science
I really enjoyed this bootcamp. It was challenging but very rewarding. I was not even sure I would ever be able to code this time last year but this course not only tought me everything promised but also boosted my confidence in technical skills. - Dan UrsuGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Part-time • BerlinVerified by GitHubNov 27, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The structure of the programme was very well thought out and enabled a clear and understandable learning process. I found the mixture of theory and practice particularly positive, as we were able to apply what we had learnt directly in projects.
The teachers were extremely competent and supportive. They were always at our side when questions arose and helped us to think independently and find solutions. I particularly appreciated the challenge of working in a team, as this not only developed my technical skills, but also my social skills.
The final project was particularly intense, but also incredibly rewarding. It was impressive how much I learnt in such a short time and how much I was able to improve my skills. Overall, the bootcamp was challenging but very motivating. I would recommend it to anyone who is ready to fully commit to learning and is looking for an exciting challenge. - Ayodeji JolaosoGraduate • Data Analytics Bootcamp Online • OnlineVerified by LinkedInNov 26, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Intense, engaging and edcuative.
Educating, intense and rich source of materials. The TAs are vastly experienced and always ready and willing to help. The lectures are educative and well explained.

Immerse learning experience with hands-on project and real collaboration
This is one of the most intense learning I have had. I found myself studying in some evenings or during the weekend. However it is all worth it! The learning curriculum covers all essentials to gain a holistic view for web development, from front-end, back-end, tools, platforms, a bit of product development.

The learning curriculum covers all essentials to gain a holistic view for web development, from front-end, back-end, tools, platforms, a bit of product development. I transformed from a non-coder to a coder --- which all thanks to this intensive 12 weeks. I love the setting of live lecture - challenges - live code mechanism. The challenges everyday were well selected and relevant to the course. It helps me learn and apply for what I learnt. The lecturers and TAs(teacher assistants) were really helpful as well. Project weeks were the highlight where I got the chance to work on real projects and make an application functional, but these were also the most intense weeks as well. At the end of the bootcamp, we got one extra week for career, where we can update our CV, LinkedIn, Github pages and get ourselves job search ready. Overall I am very satisfied with it. One concern I have to the curriculum is that we didn't learn enough javascript which is the most popular language at the job market right now. - Jonathan BurdisGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonVerified by GitHubOct 29, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Intensive but hugely rewarding
From the start, it's a very intensive learning environment, but it's completely worth it if you give the time and dedication. While probably possible to get everything done in the 9 am - to 6 pm course hours, I needed to assign a lot more time to properly understand the content. This was made easier by all lecture recordings being made available in advance so I could always watch one before the live lecture as preparation.

This was made easier by all lecture recordings being made available in advance so I could always watch one before the live lecture as preparation.
The project weeks give great insight into the process of developing an app from scratch (Web Dev BootCamp) from the idea conception to launch into production and valuable skills like code review and coding in a team.
The careers team are very helpful too, they have sessions throughout the BootCamp and also after you graduate. You also remain part of the LW slack channel and have contact with all of the shared channels to reach out to other alumni.
I secured a place on the government-funded BootCamp so didn't have to pay for it, I'm not sure if I would have fronted up the money at the start of the BootCamp (due to my financial situation) but it has the potential to be a valuable investment if you make the most of the resources made available to you over it's duration. - Anthony Chidi UgochukwuData Analyst • Graduate • Data Analytics Bootcamp • LondonVerified by LinkedInOct 29, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Going into the bootcamp, I knew it would be intense, but the depth of learning, the supportive community, and the practical skills I gained exceeded my expectations. Course Content and Structure
The curriculum was well-organized and focused on building real-world skills. We started with the basics, like data structures and the fundamentals, then progressed to SQL, Python, Power BI and lots more. One of the highlights was the final project, where we worked in teams to work on different projects using real Data. It was amazing to see how much we could create after just a few weeks. Instructors and Support
The instructors were knowledgeable and genuinely invested in our success. They were always available to answer questions and provide guidance. I also appreciated the support from teaching assistants, who were patient and helpful, especially during late-night coding sessions. Learning Environment
Le Wagon creates an incredibly supportive and collaborative environment. Working alongside like-minded students was inspiring, and we quickly formed a close-knit community. Pair programming, daily challenges, and group projects were essential parts of the experience, helping me learn faster and build my confidence. Challenges and Growth
One of the biggest challenges was managing the fast pace and intensity. The course is highly immersive, and you’re expected to absorb a lot in a short time. But looking back, the struggle was worth it! I grew both technically and personally. I learned how to problem-solve, and handle complex coding tasks. Skills Gained
I came away from the bootcamp with solid skills in SQL, Python, Looker Studio and Power BI, along with a better understanding of how to work collaboratively in a tech setting. I feel prepared to tackle new challenges and continue growing in my career. Career Support and Outcomes
Le Wagon’s career support was a great asset. We had workshops on interview preparation, networking, and creating a standout resume. I also connected with alumni and mentors who gave valuable insights into the tech industry. The bootcamp has definitely opened doors for me, and I'm confident about my job prospects moving forward. Advice for Future Students
Be prepared to put in the work. The bootcamp is intense, so it’s essential to stay organized, keep up with daily coding challenges, and don’t hesitate to ask for help. If you're dedicated and willing to learn, Le Wagon can be a life-changing experience. Overall
I highly recommend Le Wagon for anyone serious about launching a career in tech. It’s an intensive program that requires dedication, but the skills and confidence you gain make it worth every moment. - Omar MiahGraduate • Data Analytics Bootcamp • LondonVerified by GitHubOct 28, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
