Prior to the bootcamp, I worked in technical fields where drawing insights from data was par for the course. I discovered Python and enjoyed learning how it can be useful in data manipulation and machine learning. Pursuing an intense course (9 weeks, 9a-6p weekdays) in data science seemed like a great way to focus on enhancing my analytics and modeling skills, rather than the hour or so a day I was spending before. I found Le Wagon online and decided to apply based on the great reviews they had. The application process was straightforward and the Tokyo team was responsive and proactive about setting up an interview. Prerequisites The main goal of the interview is to determine your motivation for attending the program. They also check that applicants have a firm grasp of Math and coding concepts. You need to be able to articulate why you want to join the program and what you want to get out of it. For Math, a firm grasp of high-school level algebra and precalculus is recommended. For coding, having a basic understanding of how to code in Python is helpful. I would not recommend going in with zero knowledge in Python - while the course spends a day or 2 on Python syntax, it is likely not enough to get you where you need to be for the coursework. Le Wagon also provides pre-work to be completed before the course. They will not check up on you to see if you did it - this is a course for paying adults after all - but it will quickly become evident if you did not at least do some of it (there is way more than most people could likely finish). Program The course itself began with the fundamentals of data science - data sourcing, data analytics & visualization, algebra, calculus, and statistics. Understanding these foundations was critical to understanding the models we would later build when we covered machine learning and deep learning. Finally we went through how to deploy models and make data solutions available to others. Each day started with a 1.5 hour long lecture, after which we completed a series of challenges. We worked in pairs that changed daily to promote the collaborative way in which many developers and data scientists work. The day ended with a 1 hour group coding session in which we reviewed what we had learned that day. I really liked the fact that most of the day was spent working on problems rather than sitting in lectures. We finished up with a 2-week capstone group project to bring everything together. People The Le Wagon teaching and support staff was amazing! The teachers were knowledgeable but still able to break down the concepts for us. The support staff remained engaged with us during and after the bootcamp to make sure we remain on track to meet our goals. The other students in my cohort had varied work experience which made discussions richer. We also got to work in the same space as the web development students which allowed us to connect with them too. The staff did a great job of creating an atmosphere where we learned a lot but had fun at the same time. We also got the benefit of teachers and teaching assistants that were working in the data science field and they were able to share real world applications of the content. Post-program What happens after the program is dependent on the motivation you had for joining in the first place. If you are looking to enhance skills to move internally within your organization, it is a great investment of time and money. What you learn can quickly be applied in your current job to demonstrate that you are ready to move into data science positions. If you are looking to change companies, understand that it is not an automatic process and you will need to be patient. While Le Wagon does have connections with employers, it is not like a college career fair where employers are committed to hiring X number of graduates. Be prepared to do the work to put yourself out there. If you are looking to start your own company, the program is a great place to meet potential co-founders and come up with ideas. No matter your goals, one of the best things about the program is that you can stay connected to the global Le Wagon community if you chose to. You keep access to the Le Wagon Slack and to all the learning materials. The engagement on the Slack channel is phenomenal - members around the world help each other solve problems, generate ideas, and continue to learn on a daily basis. TL;DR Le Wagon Tokyo offers a data science bootcamp that could help you meet your career goals. It is a well-structured, engaging program where you will learn a lot and have fun connecting with new entrants and seasoned experts. There are part time and full time options to suit your schedule. You will get the most out of the program if you know your goals, your high-school level math, and some Python. You will gain a life-long connection to a global community of developers and data scientists.- KyleFront End Developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MontrealJan 25, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Life Changing
Before attending Le Wagon I worked full time as a construction worker and home designer. I had spent the previous 2 years or so doing my best to learn to code through different free online programs but I could never get past building simple landing pages.

I had spent the previous 2 years or so doing my best to learn to code through different free online programs but I could never get past building simple landing pages. Unfortunately my bootcamp coincided with the pandemic so I was forced to attend remotely. Luckily for me Le Wagon excelled in making me feel like I was there in person every day. Working with a different partner every day not only helps you get to know everyone on a more personal level but also creates a unique experience where some days you’ll be partnered with someone whose knowledge base and skills far exceed yours, while other days you’ll be working with someone who will need you to explain things as the day goes on. That is one of the many things that makes Le Wagon amazing, the myriad of backgrounds and skill levels of all of the students fosters an amazing environment of idea sharing and learning. As the bootcamp progressed and our final projects approached I began to develop a real love for Front-End development even though I entered the bootcamp expecting to like Back-End more. Embracing this love, I took on the role as the main Front-End developer for my groups final project. The ability to design and build a fully functioning web app helped me hone my skills while also giving me a great project to have in my portfolio. The skills I learned during my time at Le Wagon helped me turn a $7,000 investment in myself into a full time job. After spending less than 2 months actively searching for a position I have a full time salaried position as a Front-End developer for an NBA franchise! There isn’t a doubt in my mind that I would never have had even the slightest chance at landing this position had I not attended Le Wagon. - Michele ComolliFull Stack Developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MilanJan 24, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

It's a completely straightforward approach to code, you never feel you're wasting a single hour of your time, and you always want to know more, also, with the learning platform they built, you can keep learning new stuff on your own, also after the boot-camp! They give you all the necessary knowledge to convert your ideas into reality, and as you finish, you enter a new world of possibilities you can't imagine without doing it. It is one of the best choices I've ever made. - Laure DuhoraneGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Part-time • MontrealJan 22, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
An amazing experience
Did Le Wagon's part time course in 2020 and it was one of the best learning experiences I've ever had. The curriculum lets you learn complex IT concepts step by step and most importantly, you learn by doing, assisted by an amazing teaching crew. After the 6 months course, I have acquired enough practice to help me gain confidence in my skills as a web developer. - Tom WhittleGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • StockholmJan 21, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Would love to do it all over again. - FelipeGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • BrusselsJan 18, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Data Science Bootcamp GREAT!
I attended to the data science bootcamp on Brussels. It was a great experience. I never thought before that I could learn in 9 weeks all the things I learnt. Now after 3 mounths, I still have full access to the web page and all my lectures to see them whenever I want.
I strongly recommend Le Wagon.

Intense, but so rewarding!
Before enrolling at Le Wagon I had just finished a Politics degree, but was struggling to find a job and wanted to get into a more hands-on role. The best thing about the course was having 1-to-1 support always at hand, no matter how large or small my problem was. It was an intense 9 weeks, but I'm amazed at what we were all able to produce in a such a short time. I'm now searching for Junior Data Science/Analyst roles, and still receiving lots of support from the Le Wagon team! - Thomas Giannetti-FakhouryGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonJan 05, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Learnt more technical skills in 9 weeks than the past 10 years of my life!
I joined Le Wagon after 5 years of working as a Project Administrator for architectural and interior design studios, ultimately looking to gain technical skills and change career path. The bootcamp was a pretty intense 9-weeks, but it’s truly surprising how much I managed to learn in that time. I had great classmates, and the buddy system meant we were all in it together.

The bootcamp was a pretty intense 9-weeks, but it’s truly surprising how much I managed to learn in that time. I had great classmates, and the buddy system meant we were all in it together. This was comforting, and also prepared us nicely for teamwork during the project weeks. After many weeks not being sure if I was even getting it, the highlight for me was AirBnb week where we built Tropic Like it’s Hot. All those weeks of learning finally clicked and came together and it was so rewarding to present our first finished project. The teachers and TA’s at Le Wagon were amazing! Always patient and available to help. No matter how bad at coding I thought I was, I always felt that the TA’s were supportive, reassuring and welcomed all types of questions. The bootcamp would have been very different if it weren’t for such a great team. Since the bootcamp, opportunities have already presented themselves and I’m working a project with one of my TA’s and two of my classmates. I’m also looking forward to returning to Le Wagon as a TA in January. For anyone on the fence about enrolling, do it. It’s such a rewarding experience and challenge, but most importantly you come away with the skills you need to change and advance your career.
