The best choice !
Before joining Le Wagon Montreal, I was working as an E-Commerce & CRM Manager at L’Oréal Canada. Halfway through 2020, I decided to change careers and move towards product management. The goal was therefore to start gaining relevant experience to get a job as a Product Owner or Manager. I already had the business experience but was missing the tech/dev side of things. That’s when I started searching for a web development bootcamp which would ultimately allow me to better understand ...Before joining Le Wagon Montreal, I was working as an E-Commerce & CRM Manager at L’Oréal Canada. Halfway through 2020, I decided to change careers and move towards product management. The goal was therefore to start gaining relevant experience to get a job as a Product Owner or Manager. I already had the business experience but was missing the tech/dev side of things. That’s when I started searching for a web development bootcamp which would ultimately allow me to better understand the technicality behind the job of a developer allowing me as a Product Manager to better communicate with a tech team. Le Wagon was the perfect opportunity to reach my objective. First, as a student, you are incredibly well supported and guided which is super important when learning a new subject. Second, you have short theoretical classes during the morning and the rest of the time is allocated to practical and hands-on challenges which allow you right from the beginning to get a sense of what it would be like to work as a developer. Indeed, you sometimes need to find solutions on your own using the web which is exactly how you would proceed as a real developer at any company. Last, once we had learned a crazy amount of new information during those first 7 weeks, we started working during the last 2 weeks, in groups of 4, on our final project. That’s when we started using all the knowledge we received on a real and concrete project. The final project helped me better understand what it would be to work with a team of developers, the challenges, and the opportunities. If you are looking for a career change within a tech role I recommend Le Wagon as you have access to an amazing learning experience and a huge alumni database that will help you land a job right after the bootcamp. - Jan van heusdeStudent • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MontrealJan 15, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The structure or learning is really optimal to both give you a lot of skills and information as well as keeping you engaged and genuinely enjoy coding. The team there were all amazing, happy to help with anything but more importantly they were genuinely interested in making the best out of the bootcamp experience for you. It's amazing that by the end of the 9 weeks my team and I were able to make a fully functional app called bloom that was capable of doing more than I could have ever imagined. - JankaGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • DubaiJan 12, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Intensive web development course
Awesome 9 weeks of intensive coding, and when they say intensive - it is intensive, trust me:) Having a bit of background in web development or coding or any IT related experience will be a huge plus, since this is what I realized comparing students who were lagging bit behind to the ones who were more comfortable (because they had some experience in IT related areas).

Honestly, some days I felt like giving up due to the workload and comprehensive program, but teachers have been so helpful and encouraging that it helped a lot and as a results was able to enjoy the course and finish with awesome two projects. The fact that there is a teacher rotation where they come from different campuses and countries is actually cool, since you will be exposed to different people with different backgrounds, hence it is also a plus for networking. The atmosphere in Dubai campus is very friendly, staff is chill and very helpful that it feels like they are your friends. Overall, I'd definitely recommend doing the courses if you are really interested in web development and do have time to commit yourself in developing further in this area. - AnnaGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • CologneJan 10, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

At the beginning I felt a little bit overwhelmed by all the new input, but the way Le Wagon is structured was just a big help to get into it. We worked everyday with a different "buddy" to exchange ideas, learn to help each other and motivate us.👫
Also there are assisting teachers at any time, who patiently answered my questions or helped me further when I got stuck in some challenge. 🧑🏻🏫
All the staff is very, very nice & supportive and make you feel family-like for that time. - PierreProduct Manager • Student • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BordeauxJan 06, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
The great door to enter into Tech World or boost your career
I enrolled into the full-stack dev program in 9 weeks at Le Wagon Bordeaux, and I can confirm that it lives up to its reputation, and even beyond!It’s both complete and very actionable: what you learn there sticks to the reality of application development in the world of Tech.

So yes, it's hard, but you can't learn a lot, that fast, without effort! Fortunately, everything is well thought out : Well-constructed preparatory work, progressive difficulty in the courses and exercises, online resources, a strong spirit of mutual help between students, and the permanent support of the professors throughout the program.
The training is not only for developers: Coming from Product Management, I wanted to learn to code to acquire a solid technical background, which would allow me to be more relevant in the development of solutions with technical teams, and more autonomous in the prototyping of my ideas.
I came out of these 9 weeks with the technical skills I was looking for, and a very good memory of this Bootcamp. In addition, Le Wagon community is wide and active, and the quality of events organized in Bordeaux allowed me to enrich my professional network.
In short, I highly recommend it! - Ting TingGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MadridJan 05, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I chose Le Wagon because of the diversity of people that typically are admitted into this bootcamp both in their experience and in their cultural background. Additionally, I wanted to be a part of a collaborative and supportive network of people always willing to help each other. Le Wagon has offered me all of those: a supportive community where everyone is extremely willing to help even after completion of the bootcamp, including teachers and staff, from any of their campuses throughout the world. The curriculum is great and really, you have to trust the process, because it may seem crazy to think that in such a short period of time you will feel confident in making a web application on your own, but it does happen. Beyond the intensity of the whole learning experience, the buddy system is great: we pair up with other students everyday in order to help each other or get a different perspective on the coding challenges, and the final team project was the cherry on top. All in all, it was a great experience that I am so happy I quit my job for. I feel confident about my coding skills and the bootcamp cares to make sure you are on the right track after graduation by suggesting all the tools and courses that will help you grow further. Le Wagon most definitely does not end at graduation! - Talibov AlaskarGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MontrealJan 04, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Being a translator by profession, when I joined the 9-week intensive web development course at Le Wagon, I had a hard time keeping up with the classes because it was so intensive.

You have to be able to follow the rhythm, but the teachers, TA (teacher assistants) are very nice and help you when you get stuck during the coding challenges. The bootcamp provides students with immense resources (videos, access to exercises, and their solutions, etc.). The training is indeed expensive, but it's worth it. In the last 2 weeks of the course, you also have projects that you will build from A to Z as a team and present during a DemoDay. At the end of the training, Le Wagon organized the Career week where we had the opportunity to meet some companies. Honestly, I liked my experience at Le Wagon. I would say that Le Wagon is also a great human experience, which allows me to meet people from very different backgrounds. - BenWeb Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonDec 29, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I had heard about Le Wagon thanks to a classmate, and I had studied a really basic introduction to programming within my curse, so I thought it would be nice to add another string to my bow by learning to code!I had never coded anything in my life, so I was a bit afraid but the way Le Wagon has built their program makes it really easy for anyone to do it.
Before starting the bootcamp you have to do a full prep-work that includes courses about Ruby, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and some web preparations. It’s also a way to really see if learning to code is really what you want to do!
We then start every day with a lecture, and then we work on challenges the whole day, with Teachers and TA’s available to help us. We also end with what we call ‘live code’ which is basically a big exercise similar to what we’ve been doing during the day, but that we’re doing altogether.People at Le Wagon is also something that made this whole experience as amazing as it was: from the Teachers and TA’s always being available to help, to the Le Wagon Madrid team (Fanny and Emilia): they made everything they could to make our experience as smooth as possible.
We also were very lucky in my batch (#725) because we’re very close, and those classmates really turned into a family! <3Another very nice point is that you get life access to Kitt, the Le Wagon platform. And this means life access to all the lectures, challenges, tutorials, every resource stays available to you! We also have a huge community on Slack where there are channels for every need: to find a job, to ask questions, to ask for help, or to share memes.
Doing the bootcamp has definitely opened a lot of doors! Before the end of the 9 weeks, I had already received two job offers. Furthermore, we had an extra ‘Job week’ where we have been given guidelines on how to build our resumes, how to take care of our GitHub, and we got loads of tips and tricks from Alumni as well as Start-ups owners or Teachers.And if you want to have a glance at what my classmates thought about Le Wagon, don’t hesitate to have a look at the Le Wagon Spain Instagram account, where I took over during a week to show the student point-of-view of this life-changing experience! - SebastianGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MunichDec 22, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Best Coding-Bootcamp
I joined Le Wagon to get to know the world of coding and tech. I felt that my university did not teach me the needed tech skills for today's economy, and I wanted to change that quickly. The Bootcamp was the perfect place to do that, and I'd do it again in a split second. All of us have learned more in those nine weeks than I could have ever imagined.
If you think about it, do it! It is only nine weeks of your time, and you most probably won't regret it.
