I chose Le Wagon Paris because of the product-oriented program, which also includes team work on projects, which was in my opinion closer to professional life than an individual training.
Whereas the training took place during lockdown, I was very happy with my choice. The teachers' team is careful and the training itself is intense and has high-standard. The staff also tried its best to offer opportunities to relate to other classmates with Zoom parties and other activities !

My 9 weeks with Le Wagon was really one of the busiest and most exciting periods of my life. This is simply because of how much we were learning and implementing each and every week. We’d learn, create, break, and fix things all in a day’s work!

This is simply because of how much we were learning and implementing each and every week. We’d learn, create, break, and fix things all in a day’s work!
The course took place in the midst of a pandemic, so we had to attend remotely. I was a bit hesitant at first because I didn’t want it to feel like just another Codecademy course. My biggest surprise, though, was how smoothly everything ran despite the unexpected nature of COVID and Le Wagon not having much time to make their whole curriculum “remote-friendly”. I didn’t really feel like I was missing out on anything just because I couldn’t go to their campus.
This also speaks volumes to how hands-on the teaching team is, as well as how much interaction they encourage between students. You never really feel alone during the day, which is great because you never get stuck on a problem for very long either!
The level of productivity you get used to during the course is sky-high, so even after it’s over, you find yourself looking for projects or ways to continue coding even in your free time. And Le Wagon definitely gives you enough resources to support your post-wagon journey.
I’d say if you’re deciding whether to do the course, you should just go ahead and do it. I don’t regret doing it at all, and I know I would be kicking myself if I missed it! - Alexander EklundStudent • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BaliJul 29, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
My LeWagon Bali Experience
I completed my 9 week full stack bootcamp in Bali, just over a week ago. And as I let the past few months sink in, I’m really amazed, in myself, how much you can learn in such a short period of time. But let me start from the beginning: last year, in June, 2019, I found myself graduated from a international music college in Thailand, working part time teaching English and part time playing music in bars and restaurants in Bangkok.

And as I let the past few months sink in, I’m really amazed, in myself, how much you can learn in such a short period of time. But let me start from the beginning: last year, in June, 2019, I found myself graduated from a international music college in Thailand, working part time teaching English and part time playing music in bars and restaurants in Bangkok. My keyboard player, an American LeWagon alumni, and former teacher in LeWagon, Milano, was also living in Bangkok working as a rails developer from home as his day job. He used to be finishing up work as I’d come over to his place to practice, and I always thought that whatever he was doing on his computer looked like total hieroglyphics to me and coding was not something I’d ever thought I'd be able to do, I mean, I failed my Intro to Math my junior year three times. But at the same time I was envious of the lifestyle and being able to earn a good salary working from home, so I started asking questions. My buddy told me right away that I could totally do it too, and gave me the Ruby track on Codecademy to check out. And basically said that do this and if you feel like this is something you could work with then just join LeWagon. I had been asking some people who, well let’s just say are kind of self-proclaimed experts of a lot, saying “Nobody uses Ruby anymore, React is the new thing”, and “You can learn all that stuff on Udemy for way less money”. But I stuck with my buddies advice and signed up for LeWagon. I pushed the date forward a couple of times, and was set to start the bootcamp in Bali, in March 2020. And then covid happened, but I had postponed my bootcamp enough times so when LeWagon offered to do the batch online I decided to join anyway.
The bootcamp started with Ruby, and although we started from the very beginning the exercises always found a way to challenge you and help you grow as a programmer. Those first two weeks we got thrown into a world of logic in Ruby and Object Oriented Programming that were mind-boggling and really challenging, but also satisfying at the same time when you finally understand the flow and you’re able to do it yourself using some kind of refernce, it feels like all that energy spent solving a bug in your code, you immediately get back when you solve it. Moves on to more front-end based phase and also a week of JavaScript.
The bootcamp is fast paced, the amount of concepts you learn in a short period of time can will feel a bit overwhelming, but I recommend just trust the process, and as long as you can understand the big picture, most things will make sense when you enter the world of Rails during the last month of the bootcamp. All that grueling logic you fought so hard with during OOP week is going to be made much simpler (in theory), but ultimately yes, and you’ll also finally see how the front-end and the back-end comes together and you’ll be able to create real apps.
The last two weeks are dedicated to final projects. I joined my batch mate Taylor who came up with idea for the app ‘UpHold’ and two others, and set out to build an app that let’s you report your encounters with the police, designed to create accountability and uphold the police to a higher standard. I’m really happy that I did the bootcamp, as I continue to learn React I’m constantly reminded of how helpful a good foundation in Ruby/Rails is helping me understand these new concepts. The program is overall really well designed, the teachers are total pros at what they do, and you can really feel that they love to see you succeed and they work tirelessly to make that happen. Although I haven’t personally used this superpower yet, but the LeWagon slack community seems really helpful and you feel like you’re not alone in this even after the bootcamp. Best of luck to all you other aspiring developers out there. - LucieGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisJul 28, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

After my accounting degree, I decided to join the wagon bootcamp to learn how to code. I watched several demo-days and saw the quality of the level obtained in just 9 weeks. I am very satisfied with the level that I acquired when I left the bootcamp, and the educational content that I still use today. The teachers are really involved in our learning throughout the training and Le Wagon community is also very valuable. - Itamar PereiraFull-stack developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • Rio de JaneiroJul 23, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Valuable Experience
For some reason I decided to change my profession as a translator and start learning to code. First of all, I began to study on my own and took various online courses. I realized that I like it, that web developing is interesting. But it was difficult for me to learn everything on my own, to organize myself in order to devote much time to my studies, and it was also difficult to structure all the material. Therefore, I decided to go to study at Le Wagon.

Therefore, I decided to go to study at Le Wagon.
Despite the fact that under the current circumstances we had to deal with online bootcamp, I really liked how everything was organized. I can highlight the following:- Well structured curriculum;
- Amazing teachers, staff and lovely environment in general;
- Support and help;
During the 9 weeks the bootcamp provides a good knowledge base and a minimal understanding of how everything works in web developing. Now I’m looking for my first job in this area and continue to learn. - RichardStudent • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LyonJul 15, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Fast paced, the program ends up being approachable thanks to the wonderful teaching team and a well designed curriculum.
As an ex investment banker, my workflow usually involved Excel and Powerpoint when analysing data. Thanks to this training, I now feel empowered by state of the art skills that I think will make a huge difference in a landscape where data is becoming more and more prominent. I have a strong belief that those skills will eventually become as necessary as mastering excel when dealing with data, and I am glad I made the decision to stay ahead of the curve with this bootcamp.
