Le Wagon - Lyon

The Data Analyst bootcamp that I attended there is a high quality training. The topics are tailored to what we'll need in the job, very hands-on. I have learnt much, helped by the daily routine of lectures, plenty of application exercises, and wrap-up. The teachers and assistants are very knowledgeable and teach us how to do find solutions ourselves. Finally the Lyon staff make us feel welcome in this nice place. So I highly recommend Le Wagon bootcamps!

I was trained as an engineer, and have worked in research and development, designed and quality for 5 years. But it was all very niche - to take a car analogy .

I could have turned to online courses and learn yet another handful languages, but from my practical experience there is no substitute for dedicated mentoring, and the experience of working on projects as a team. Both of which are cornerstones of Le Wagon bootcamp.

So after closing a chapter in my career, I decided to enroll in Le Wagon in Lyon.

The program is every bit as good as others have commented on this site. Curriculum is very solid and well designed, up to date, well adapted to complete beginners, and certainly very efficient at turning them into competent junior developers by the end of the course. From the point of view of a seasoned veteran, watching that metamorphosis felt like a little miracle - while the result of very hard work from both students and teachers.

Speaking of which, the teaching staff in Lyon is excellent - competent, dedicated, available, and friendly. I was lucky to have extraordinary teachers in my university years, and I am happy to say the guys at Le Wagon are very much up there counting among the best!

Also of note was the strong sense of camaraderie and cooperative mindset among students of our batch.
The feeling of belonging to Le Wagon's network of alumni and staff is no small part in its successful formula.

By the time team projects started (7th week onward), they were gone - replaced by the thrill and passion of building actual products.

Long story short: I highly recommend Le Wagon.

Ph.D. in NanoPhysics, ex-project manager in a tech startup, I joined Le Wagon Lyon to improve my technical skills in web developing for new opportunities.

The way of learning is the thing I liked the most. The quality of the lessons, exercises and also the teachers were unbelievable. The organization of the batch was also very appreciated. Matthieu made us comfortable during all the training. The training met my expectations. Impressive way of learning and very nice community. I could easily recommend Le Wagon.

Before enrolling into Le Wagon Lyon's Data Science full time course, I had 3 years experience as Business Development Manager. I felt a bit stuck and wanted to change my career path. I wanted to learn new skills that would open opportunities. I chose Data Science because of my background and the boom of this sector. After blood, sweat and tears learning it, it has become for me a tremendous source of stimulating thoughts and ideas. 3 months after graduating, I have started my own business and use my new Data Analysis, Science and Engineering skills to contribute to coherent projects within organizations who want to take data-driven decisions. Le Wagon is a community and you will find helpful people in your new career path along the way. Would recommend 5/5 !

I loved my experience as a student at le Wagon Lyon. Both teachers and managers have incredible skills, are fun, welcoming. Le wagon Lyon is about learning how to code but also building strong friendship among each other. Incredible 9 weeks.

I wanted to acquire technical skills to become a product manager.
Le Wagon Lyon was such an amazing 9-week experience for different reasons:
- an intense program made up of lessons, pair exercises, group projects;
- a very well designed learning platform;
- competent and pedagogue teachers;
- a studious but fun and pleasant atmosphere;
- a powerful alumni network.

I had no knowledge of web development before Le Wagon. Now :
- I acquired strong foundations in HTML, CSS, Ruby on Rails, Javascript, SQL, Git, design with Figma…
- I developed the mindset to learn other languages;
- I can develop functional web applications from 0 to 1.

Among all the bootcamps, I think this is one of the best way to learn about web development. Le wagon Lyon provides high level training with very talented teachers.

I highly recommend Le Wagon to anyone looking for a career change or for technical skills to develop a business. It's definitely not easy, but you wont regret it!

One more important thing: Le wagon is a human experience too, you’ll have the opportunity to develop great friendships and networks. All the staff cares about the happiness of the students and are willing to create a supportive environment to help you achieve all the goals of the training.

I can't recommend this place enough. If you're looking for an amazing bootcamp that is worth the money, go to Le Wagon. You won't regret it.

Let me tell you about my experience. My initial background was alternative well-being and beauty. I had an accident a year ago and I could not practice any more. I wanted to retrain.
My dream was to invent alternative software for all but I lacked tools and skills. So I wanted to learn how to code.
Le Wagon has welcomed this dream, and helped me make it come true.
At the beginning it was really difficult for me, but the teachers were there to take care of each one of us.
In Le Wagon no question is stupid, and whenever time permits Kevin, Joseph and the TAs will show you how to do what you have struggled to do. 99% of the stuff taught to me was totally new – and the approach to how we were taught was just fantastic.

The goal was always to make it as a team. Even within the batch we had each other’s back. And this team spirit, we’ve learnt it there. We became a family.

The course may be tiring. But it's not boring. you will learn a heck of a lot. The 9 weeks gave me a solid foundation of ruby-on-rails, javascript and of course CSS and HTML but Le Wagon it’s not only about learning new languages, it’s all about learning how to learn. After this bootcamp, you’ll never feel that you are out of solutions.

The final project is an amazing experience. It challenged me in ways classic exercises couldn't : working with my peers, inventing a project, managing time, presenting the result the best way you can and at the end being proud of your team!
