AnonymousGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonJan 13, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceThe course is fine but it's absolutely overpriced.
I finished Le Wagon's Web Development course a few months ago and I enjoyed the experience however I still think that the price is unjustifiable. With the same amount of money, you'd be better off taking some time off in a tropical country while going through an online course, which can be just as good if not better than what you get on Le Wagon.

I'd only recommend the course for those who don't have any work experience or education because this could be a start for your career, but again, you could do that by building a strong portfolio.- AnonymousGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • OnlineJan 09, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Best experience in life!
Very intensive bootcamp and curriculum. Got to know a lot in only 9 weeks, starting from back-end with Ruby to front with JavaScript.

Intense, Insightful and Worthwhile Bootcamp
As you might have read by many other reviewers online, a coding bootcamp experience can turn your professional life around. My experience at Le Wagon Berlin couldn't have validated this point more!
For 10 weeks (9 weeks of face-to-face learning + 1 week of coding prep-work), I faced coding challenges I never knew I could solve. While having had some coding experience prior to the bootcamp, the real key to solving these challenges was Le Wagon's systematic approach to teaching. Th...As you might have read by many other reviewers online, a coding bootcamp experience can turn your professional life around. My experience at Le Wagon Berlin couldn't have validated this point more!
For 10 weeks (9 weeks of face-to-face learning + 1 week of coding prep-work), I faced coding challenges I never knew I could solve. While having had some coding experience prior to the bootcamp, the real key to solving these challenges was Le Wagon's systematic approach to teaching. That said, the extensive tech and coding experience of both the lecturers and TAs was equally invaluable in this regard.
While I might have taken away more about some fields in data than others, this was largely due to personal choice. Indeed, although the bootcamp centralizes the use of skills common to data science, we were introduced to skills needed for both data analysis and data engineering. Given my initial desire to skill-up in data analysis, I ended up focusing more of my attention on lectures pertaining to this field than others.
If I were to utter any sort of critique about the bootcamp, it would relate to the point above. Finding a job as a data scientist right after the bootcamp will be a challenge for most people - especially for those with no experience in tech or quantitative work. Most people will start as data analysts or engineers and slowly work towards roles in data science. The bootcamp certainly delivers on its promise to introduce students to the current standards in data science, but in light of this reality, students should be aware of the skills needed for a start in the data world and prepare accordingly throughout the bootcamp.
This is, of course, less of a critique about Le Wagon's programme, but rather a word of caution to anyone who is looking to start a highly specialized bootcamp as such.
I can whole-heartedly recommend Le Wagon's data science bootcamp, and would do it again if I could! - AnonymousGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • LisbonNov 28, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Data Science Bootcamp - Lisbon 2022
I did the Data Science Bootcamp course with LeWagon during the Summer of 2022 in Lisbon, Portugal. It was by far the best decision I’ve made this year. The course was fantastic. Thanks to their amazing staff, within only 9-weeks I learnt more than I thought would be possible. It took my coding skills to a whole new level and gave me the opportunity to change my life around. I needed a “win” this year and the experience I had a LeWagon granted me that.

It took my coding skills to a whole new level and gave me the opportunity to change my life around. I needed a “win” this year and the experience I had a LeWagon granted me that. Not only with the knowledge and skills that I have acquired but for the people I have met along the way. After graduating you have definitely much more higher chances of landing a job. Especially during career week you have the chance to get insights of applying to a job and hiring process. From the constant support of TAs and leading teachers to the incredible campus, the LeWagon experience is extremely worth it! - AnonymousGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • MunichNov 03, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
challenging but very rewarding!
I completed the Data Science and Machine Learning Bootcamp with no previous programming knowledge except of self study before the bootcamp (my background is legal). It was definitely the most intense learning experience I've had so far, but probably also the most rewarding one, and a decision I'll never regret.

Fantastic human and technical experience
Le Wagon is a really fantastic school to become a web developper in a very short time. Courses and exercises are very well structured, so that you can progress every day, teachers are all very good at their job, kind and patient, you can meet alumni, you can attend to events ... And after your bootcamp, the career week help you to start your new projects. It was just perfect ! - AnonymousStudent • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • Rio de JaneiroOct 12, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great experience!
Great bootcamp for people like me with absolutely no programming background. It definitely teaches enough to know how to develop web applications at the end of the course (if the student puts the necessary work). It’s super important to be proactive in order to fully take advantage of what the bootcamp has to offer but it’s definitely worth it. Plus, Le Wagon Brazil’s team has the friendliest people on earth, it was both intense and super fun - AnonymousGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • OnlineOct 10, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great Bootcamp online this summer
It was overall a very very good experience ! So happy to be part of the bootcamp this summer, and I'm not gonna regret it because it opened me so many doors. Definitely you should go to learn Data and change your career. Even online, teachers and all Le Wagon team is really available and nice.

Learning by doing
Great learning experience and very practical. The fullstack approach allowed me to have an overall and global vision of the development and deployment of a web application and understand the fundamentals in order to be quickly independent and to be able to carry out my own projects.
Great staff and always happy to help. - AnonymousCTO • Student • Web Development Course - Part-time (Remote) • LyonSep 21, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Good Experience
The Wagon experience was really enriching in every way: the encounters, the skills acquired but also on a personal level!
The challenge was present throughout the course and the teachers were always there to support us.

FullStack Developer
I had been looking to learn to code for a while. I had heard about the wagon from a friend who had attended and loved it. There was a campus close to my home, which was great for me. The program is intense, but well designed, the teachers are great. The project week was amazing, my team and I gave a great presentation. Since then I've continued to code, I'm hooked and can't wait to see what the future holds!
