I joined in July 2022 and finished September 2022.
First few weeks felt so intense, but with the help of the teachers, I could solve the problems whenever I did the daily
challenges until it came to the project weeks (which is our last week in the bootcamp), the teachers are really helpful and they helped us (the students) a lot to do the projects.
After I completed 9 weeks of the bootcamp, I am confident enough to jump into a tech world.

A great way to learn data science
In my previous roles, I often wondered how available data could be better utilised to support decision-making, and wished that I had the skills to do so. I'm glad I made the decision to enrol in Le Wagon's full-time data science bootcamp in Amsterdam. It was a great experience overall, from having really motivated classmates with diverse backgrounds, to learning key skills in data science in an interesting way that felt easily applicable. There was also always good support from teachers ...In my previous roles, I often wondered how available data could be better utilised to support decision-making, and wished that I had the skills to do so.

It was a great experience overall, from having really motivated classmates with diverse backgrounds, to learning key skills in data science in an interesting way that felt easily applicable. There was also always good support from teachers and teaching assistants throughout the bootcamp. I had almost no coding experience before the bootcamp, and am super proud to have been able to put into production a machine learning model built from scratch as part of the final group project! - Sjoerd de WitGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • AmsterdamSep 13, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Data Science Bootcamp
I joined the Full time Data Science Bootcamp in Bali from April to June 2022 to learn how to code and analyse data before joining a Master in Data Science starting in Septembre. I can only honestly say it was the best decision that could be made : the Le Wagon process makes complicated concepts much simpler to learn, understand and use. The classes and concepts are taught in a very clear and spot on way - we then apply these concepts in "coding challenges" everyday to learn by doing.

I can only honestly say it was the best decision that could be made : the Le Wagon process makes complicated concepts much simpler to learn, understand and use. The classes and concepts are taught in a very clear and spot on way - we then apply these concepts in "coding challenges" everyday to learn by doing. The 9 weeks are organised in such a way that you are constantly challenged with new learning material (and there are options to go even deeper in the coding if you want) while never feeling overwhelmed and lost. I felt the teachers had the perfect balance between : 1) doing your own research to find the solutions you're looking for, 2) helping you out/ giving you tips to find those solutions.
Today, after only one week of my Master in Data Science, I am so grateful for everything the Le Wagon curriculum taught me and I go back daily to all the learning material we still have access to.
As a bonus : living in Bali for 3 months was a dream and I am still in contact with the students I met during the bootcamp- despite us all living in different parts of the world. - Raphael CohenWeb Developer • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MontrealAug 25, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I was tired of working nights and weekends so I was looking to change my career path and find a job with 'regular hours’.
Some of my friends are developers and after speaking with them, I realized that being a developer was what I wanted to do :)
As soon as I decided to make the change, I looked for a way to make it a reality. After some research, I chose to join a bootcamp instead of doing a traditional degree. Le wagon had very good reviews and a friend of friend of mine hired someone who graduated from le wagon and was very happy with his work.
I decided to join and it was an amazing experience. It was very challenging, both personally and technically but also very rewarding. I learned a lot of technical skills and programming languages, and I am still doing challenges almost 9 month after I did the bootcamp with the resources Le Wagon gave me. Finally, I learnt how to work in a team and to be efficient together.
During the last 2 weeks, the “projects weeks”, we were ready to start working like real devs, from an original idea, to develop it, code it and present it. I presented it to the community and learned how to speak in public, which was not my strong suit. I’ve learnt so much from my experience at Le Wagon and am happy to continue giving back to the community. - Giorgi BaptisteGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • NiceAug 16, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
An intense journey
This 9 week bootcamp is an intensive journey, but your not alone, the team guide you with care and help you to appropriate the concept you learn during the bootcamp. Team working is valuate and it's a plus for your future carrer, the learning process is regulary actualised always accessible and center on challenging yourself. - TaylorBackend Ruby on Rails Engineer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • TokyoAug 16, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The full-time course feels like going back to university for a short semester, including meeting the other students who are learning alongside you. Not only do you get a fleshed-out training program that will prepare you to be a real developer, but by the last week the school is connecting you to a network of companies you can apply to and alumni who can give you a hand with job hunting.
On the first day, they help you set up a development environment on your computer. After that, each day you are randomly assigned a another student partner and together you work on coding challenges to complete by the end of the day. They start in Ruby, then introduce SQL so you understand the database, then Rails to begin real web projects. They also teach JavaScript to round out your skillset and show you that all programming languages share commonalities. You also use Heroku to learn a very simple introduction to DevOps if you wish to follow that path.
What I liked a lot was that the Le Wagon teachers will not only teach you the answer to problems you face while developing, but how to search for the answers to similar questions without their help. I found myself able to solve my own issues and troubleshoot after generalizing from advice the teachers gave me. Doug Berkley and Yann Klein were so patient with my sometimes slow progress and gave useful guidance while my team and I built 2 full-fledged web applications. Even if you don't end up using Ruby on Rails, you still learn to generalize the same concepts no matter what tech stack you end up using.
The head of the school, Sylvain Pierre also spent a lot of time on the non-coding side of working in the IT industry. His lectures about giving a pitch for a project, using wireframes and Figma to design an application, how to write a web developer resume were crucial for my job hunting after the bootcamp. The final project pitch night actually turned into real practice for my job interview at the company I ended up joining. I'm proud to say that I'm now a Ruby on Rails backend developer at a fintech startup in Tokyo. Without the training, education, connections, and motivation I got at Le Wagon Tokyo it would not have been possible.

Change your life with Le Wagon
The entire bootcamp, from the first days discovering what coding is to the last day, presenting the MVP of a project we worked on for two weeks, this bootcamp was a real revelation for me.
In only 9 weeks, I was able to discover, learn and apprehend the world of coding (which seems too good to be true in only 9 weeks)!

If you are not an experienced programmer, early in the Bootcamp, you will develop the coding skills and logic needed to design and implement algorithms to carry out the automation of any task.
Once you have acquired codding experience or if you are an experienced programmer in other languages rather than python, during the Bootcamp, you will learn and use the best coding practices to put into production any machine learning model using the latest cloud technologies in Python.
Regardless of your coding experience, you will learn the technologies associated with all machine learning stages, from data extraction to monitoring model performance in real-time to improve it. Obviously, in a few weeks, you will not be able to cover all technologies used in the industry, but the Le Wagon Bootcamp will give you a solid base to be a self-learner so that you can specialize yourself in the area you like the most.
At the end of the program, you will face the real-life experience of designing and implementing a minimum viable product in two weeks, as if you were working in a start-up. You will build on top of what you used in the Bootcamp, but also will have to research and learn new technologies to accomplish your goal. The latter is a skill highly desired in any company. It is important to highlight that the Bootcamp is designed in such a way that you are never left alone at any stage, and you are guided by highly trained teachers who enjoy teaching and sharing their knowledge. - Emma Carballal HaireGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • BerlinAug 10, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
