Hi guys, my name is Gabriel, and today I want to share with you the experience I had doing the full-time bootcamp at Le Wagon Rio de Janeiro. I started it with some background, knowing about variables, functions, and scope, but nothing more than that, I basically only knew about their existence 🤣 and maan, now if I do not know how to do something, for sure I know where to find the solution or for who to ask.

I started it with some background, knowing about variables, functions, and scope, but nothing more than that, I basically only knew about their existence 🤣 and maan, now if I do not know how to do something, for sure I know where to find the solution or for who to ask.
Unfortunately, I do not have another experience like this to compare with, but I can point out the strong things about Le Wagon 💪:
✔ The program works, their methodology was built for us to achieve our goals, to become a FullStack Web Developer, during the first days we learned about variables and functions, and in the last weeks we were building real web applications. You will be able of doing it in just 10 weeks, trust me! The concepts are given at their perfect time!
👨💻 You’ll save a lot of time, during the bootcamp we have a lot of challenges per day, which means we practice a lot, and if we struggle we have an entire team to help us with!
👩🏫 At there you will see that your campus have teachers, teachers assistants, manager, and many other people working for you to have a great experience, happy people that actually like what they are doing and put a lot of their good energy into it, you will have amazing emotional and technical support.
👨🎓 The final projects at bootcamp are typically completed in teams, and everyone works together to complete them. If you struggle with a particular aspect of the project, you can ask for help from the teachers or your team members. The great thing about this is that you will still be participating in its development even if you are not working on the backend. You will have an understanding of the entire stack, even if you do not want to work as a frontend or backend developer. This knowledge will be valuable, as having a frontend developer who understands some backend concepts is more valuable than one who does not. Even if you don't want to work as a frontend or backend developer, you will have ideas about how it works.
📡 The COMMUNITY is the best, many people around the world, entrepreneurs, freelancers, and digital nomads, actually started from where you are, and many of them are there to take out your doubts!
👀 Serious people there are amazing, loved it, even after the bootcamp when I had some doubts, the teachers and TAs were there for me if they have time of course!
📈 Solid logic knowledge, during the bootcamp, we learn to solve various challenges using Ruby and JavaScript. By learning these languages, it becomes much easier to learn other languages as well, because what essentially changes between one language and another is the syntax.- AnonymousGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonJan 24, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great people, great knowledge
Great place to learn to code and change yoru career, the pastoral care is on another level, opportunities to socialise, great mix of people, friendly atmosphere! A lot of material was covered in a short timeframe, lots of resources to take advantage of both during and after the bootcamp as an alumni - AnonymousGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonJan 24, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The fee is almost like a Mater's degree but the qualification you get at the end doesn't really give you added credibility. Honestly, it was a total rip off. They promise to help you with jobs. They give you "guidance" and tell you to be persistent. Only those who already have a more solid background in the Sciences/Maths/Computing will be successful after the bootcamp- and not because of the bootcamp but the degree already gained from reputable universities. PLEASE, do not waste your money! - AnonymousGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LondonJan 13, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
The 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

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.

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.

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
