A life changing entrance in to tech.

Le Wagon comfortably changed that! You will learn, a lot!
The setup - a lecture and then pair programming working through some fairly tough (& what felt like almost impossible at times!) challenges was a great way to learn and build confidence/technical acumen around concepts. Each subject closes with an interactive "Live Code" where concepts are ironed out by Le Wagon's tutors. Throughout the course, Le Wagon gives you exposure to the fundamentals of Web and Software Development through the likes of Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, NodeJS, HTML, CSS, Heroku, Git, Github & AJAX....plus way more..!
Immediately, the curriculum immerses you in the fundamentals of programming, understanding data types and how to manipulate them. Ruby is the back-end language of choice for Le Wagon, a good introduction to programming with very clean syntax and easy to read for those with little programming experience (and even a delight to those who have programmed in the past!). You will build a couple of small software applications using an MVC design pattern (and object-oriented programming) in pure Ruby which is a workout for the brain!
The course content moves on to relational databasing (SQL, sqlite3, Active Record), important for any developer to have learnings on. The front-end is next! You'll learn to hand-code the core fundamentals of Web Development using HTML & CSS. Popular techniques like Flexbox, CSS Grid, and Bootstrap are included too to keep your front-end sharp. JavaScript core fundamentals, DOM Manipulation, AJAX as well as plugins will give you an edge to your front end and keep the coding strong...that's not to mention that learning to prototype and wireframe an application is right after that...did I mention that you learn a lot?!
Bringing it all together - you'll launch into Rails, a popular framework that will take everything you've learned so far into account and add a lot of flexibility to any application you build. Once you've gained a little confidence, you'll join a small team and work in an agile manner to build a couple of applications utilizing everything that you've learned so far. The peak of the Bootcamp is demoing your final project at the end for everyone to see (including alumni, the general public, and your friends and family if you like!).
Post Bootcamp there is a career week that focuses on finding work in the industry if that's your aim. You'll learn how to level up your cover letters, resumes and hear from alumni who now work in the industry as well as industry professionals about tackling coding challenges and interviews. There are "Get Me Hired" events where companies will discuss their culture and upcoming roles. Le Wagon doesn't promise a job after the Bootcamp but will set you up in a very strong position to start looking. There are a lot of tech jobs out there - and A LOT of companies looking for technical skills, especially the ones that Le Wagon teaches.
Le Wagon has a huge emphasis on culture and community. The energy is incredibly positive & the Teachers/Teacher Assistants are always happy to help and answer questions (even outside of class time usually). If anyone is curious to upskill or career change, I couldn't recommend Le Wagon enough. Even those with technical backgrounds find a lot of value in the course. Personally, I've now had exposure to an entirely new world (with a creative industry background as a pro musician as well as retail & sales).
Previous to joining Le Wagon I had done a lot of research on different Bootcamps...
I am very happy to have chosen them and I look forward to continuing my journey in tech.

I was looking for a career change and decided to enroll in the full time web development course at Le Wagon. It’s by far the best decision I have ever made! I dove in with barely any coding experience, but in just 9 weeks I was able to learn so much on both front and back-end programming. It’s definitely a fast-paced learning experience and was hard at times, but the teachers were all incredibly patient and everyone in my class pushed each other to challenge ourselves.I was looking for a career change and decided to enroll in the full time web development course at Le Wagon.

I arrived in the wagon as a Product Owner. I definitely find in the wagon program a way to improve my technical development skills.
The lessons and the learning methodology are really well-built. Teacher are comprehensive and patient. After a few weeks, I was the first impressed by my progress.
A PO will lead and communicate better with the development team. With the wagon, PO will understand developper work and their difficulties. The PO will become more efficiency.

Le Wagon Melbourne is a very tight-knit team. The instructors foster a super friendly atmosphere. The career support post-graduation has been top notch - plenty of workshops, industry events and individual help. I can't emphasise enough that the most valuable thing about the bootcamp is the community. You form a very powerful network with your fellow students and the staff. This is really important when it comes to getting introductions, hearing about job openings etc. You will also make good friends!

Before that I knew a little python from a couple of online courses but nothing serious - I’m a mechanical engineer and had little to no experience programming. That was all about to change, since then I learnt python for real, statistics, data wrangling, machine learning all by doing challenging projects. The teachers were good, and I mean really there for us - ever little issue I had they were there. One thing that absolutely surprised me was although the bootcamp was entirely online, due to covid situation, the students were "handpicked" and a healthy camaraderie emerged between us, which was the cherry on the top! I have nothing but great memories from this experience - besides the intensiveness of all the work, but hey that's what it takes to learn something as challenging.
After the bootcamp, I found a fantastic job on a startup as a data product manager, all thanks to the skills I acquired at LeWagon Lisbon. - ThomasFull-Stack Web Developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • TokyoVerified by LinkedInAug 18, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

On top of that we had wonderful and inclusive community that made this journey even better.

I was Wholesale Administrator for a luxury brand for 4 years. I new I wanted to change my job but I didn’t know what to do yet. After month of thinking I heard about this 9 weeks training. I had never code before so I started training on Codecademy to see if I was into it and I immediately liked it. I decided to get in touch with former students at Le Wagon and other Bootcamp to gather their thoughts before jumping in. The feedbacks I had about Le Wagon were that the teacher and teaching methods were amazing and they had a great network, most of the people I had on the phone were actually hired by former students. Good teachers and a good network were the 2 quality I was looking for in a Bootcamp so I decided to join. I was not disappointed. The first thing they say when you arrive at Le Wagon is you need to trust the system which is kind of scary when you don’t know anything about coding. But it is so true. The teachers and assistant teachers are amazing. We spend everyday coding on exercices and projects that are perfectly thought. All the information we have to digest seems overwhelming at first but in the end the program is so well thought that your brain just remember everything. I never thought I’ll be able to code a web app in only 9 weeks and yet we all did it ! More than that Le Wagon is also an amazing human experience, that allow you to meet people from many different backgrounds. - Andreas MussgerGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • AmsterdamVerified by LinkedInAug 03, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
