Le Wagon Montréal Coding Bootcamp

Before Le Wagon, during my time as a business student, I was curious to learn how businesses use technology to their advantage. It soon grew on me that the use of technology is a vital part of a successful business. I had decided to learn to code on my own but I soon realized I needed something more structured. That’s when I found Le Wagon, a place to learn all of the coding basics, how to solve challenges alongside others and more importantly how to think like a developer.At Le Wagon, the program is extremely well-structured to maximize learning. This is done by watching lectures before class and doing challenges which reinforce what was taught in those lectures during class. If ever we got stuck trying to solve a problem there was always a teacher to help.My primary goal at Le Wagon was to learn the fundamentals of coding as a web developer. In the end I’m glad to say my goal was achieved and furthermore I have met new friends who motivate me to excel in this career path. Ultimately, I recommend Le Wagon for anyone looking to get familiar with coding.

After I decided to shift my career into the tech industry, I needed someplace to start where I could learn tech skills. After extensive research of university and bootcamp programs, I decided to go with Le Wagon Montreal Coding Bootcamp. What was attractive to me is that the bootcamp was planned to be on-site, face-to-face with teachers. Since I did not have any coding background, being physically present inside the classroom and having everyday interactions with teachers, and classmates were very important to me. Even though everyday coding challenges were tough, and reading and lectures were hard to grasp, I was able to learn the fundamentals of computer programming. Moreover, by the end of the bootcamp I started feeling comfortable in addressing coding challenges, finding answers to technical questions, and thinking like a programmer. There are still lots of things to learn, but thanks to Le Wagon I now have all the basic knowledge to continue my journey in the tech industry.

I was a Shipping Coordinator for a big toy company for almost 12 years until they moved their manufacturing to Mexico. Because of this, I realized I had to change my career and saw the opportunity to start with Le Wagon Coding Bootcamp. At first, I was really nervous about if I could really do it, but after a couple of days it becomes exciting and challenging. You just have to really trust the process of their program. Teachers and staff are really nice, friendly and approachable. They also have a very well organized strategy for your learning, precise schedule, very useful resources that you will have access to even after you graduate. They also organize some educational events & bonding time like Happy Hour every Friday :beers:. To sum it up, I had a great experience with Le Wagon that I will treasure forever. :heart:

I'm a graphic designer who decided to become a developer a while ago. I already had experience in the field and I knew a bit of coding thanks to some online courses, but I felt that I was lacking a lot of structure and knowledge to get better at my job. Then I found Le Wagon and I attended a lot of their free workshops and events, just to see if they were what I was looking for, and I immediately loved the content and energy they all had. This was one of the best experiences of my life: I had the opportunity to meet great people, got to learn a lot from the TAs and other students, and I really felt that the effort and time I put on this was absolutely rewarding. I also had a great time working on our final project and felt super proud of creating a full and functional app from scratch. Thanks to Le Wagon's bootcamp I finally feel confident to work with my peers and do tasks that I never thought I would.As a side note, you don't need to have any previous experience! A lot of my classmates were working in completely different areas and we all managed pretty well. I took the part-time bootcamp since I have a full-time job, and I feel that it was perfect for me because I had the time to digest the content and put more work on the final weeks. I have already recommended it to a lot of people and I will definitely keep on doing it.

I'm Denzel Braithwaite and I was part of the Montreal part time batch #790. When I graduated high school, I spent 6 years as a janitor. I started to wonder if this is what I'd be doing for the rest of my life. I decided to take a computing support course which helped me land a job in I.T. but I felt as if it was only a nudge in the right direction, but I could still go even further. I knew I still wanted to work with computers, this is my passion, but I wanted a career that was in demand, flexible and rewarding with the possibility of working remotely. I had already heard about Le Wagon from a few friends and decided to take a chance. As an alumni, I can definitely say that this course was worth every minute and every penny. It's about so much more than simply learning how to code, it's about learning how to change your life and adapt to a constantly evolving industry. It's about collaborating on meaningful and impactful projects and building lifelong connections in a very active community. I learnt how to learn and how to ask for help when I needed it. Le Wagon teaches the skills and discipline required for success, while keeping an important focus on relaxing and getting to know your fellow colleagues. I can try to describe it in many different ways, but the best way is to experience it yourself. Dive in and trust the process, know that you're in good hands from the moment you start until long after you've graduated. Le Wagon is a family, and we're all eager to meet you.

After graduating university, I needed to learn something new and I stumbled upon Le Wagon. I was very surprised by how much we learned in the 24-week part-time program. It's definitely a commitment but the whole team and class has a great vibe and energy to support you and help you thrive.

As a computer science student, I didn’t think Le Wagon Montreal would have much to offer me since it was only a 9-week coding bootcamp. I thought it would be only a shallow knowledge for those who’d never coded before. Boy, was I wrong!The course is extremely well made for both beginners and more advanced students. The attention they give for each individual is amazing, the environment is extremely calm and good (which is important, since we spend long hours of sometimes frustrating code), the people are amazing (both teachers and students) and it’s a complete course without being so fast-paced, despite the short length. For those willing to learn how to build a good website from scratch (either knowing how to code or not), Le Wagon offers you everything you can hope for and more, with tech talks, networking, funny internal events and, by the end of it, projects that you wouldn’t believe you’d be able to do 9 weeks before you started it. I’m really glad I applied to it and strongly recommend everyone with interest to apply as well.

I recently completed a web development course at Le Wagon coding bootcamp in Montreal and I have to say, it was an unforgettable experience. One of the aspects I appreciated the most about the bootcamp was the focus on practical skills. Significant time was spent working on projects and building our own web applications, which gave us the opportunity to put what we learned into practice and see firsthand results. The course was intense and required a lot of dedication, but the support from the instructors and my batch (#1058) of fellow students made it manageable. It was a great experience to be able to learn from and work with people from different backgrounds and with different experiences. Overall, I highly recommend Le Wagon coding bootcamp.

Before starting Le Wagon’s Web Development bootcamp, all I had was a high school diploma and experience in customer service. I decided it was time for a change and made the best decision in my life. The teaching style concentrates on practical exercises and the support from teachers is incredible. No need to spend 3 to 5 years in college/university. This 10-week bootcamp will prepare you with everything you need to start a career in tech.

I highly recommend le Wagon not only if you want to change your career, but if you also want to to advance in your existing career! Technology is becoming increasingly important in all sectors, and this was why I attended le Wagon: to stay relevant and to move forward. Those 9 weeks are intense and they challenge your intelligence and resilience, but the amount of information you learn is unbelievable! The program is so well built from day 1 and until you present your final project. The teachers are absolutely top-notch, world-class educators, and the environment is very friendly and supportive. I applied for a job that I thought was a very long shot while I was at le Wagon, and I got it! It was a huge step up in my career, and the main reason I was chosen over other candidates was my (fairly new) knowledge in technology. I started the new job a week after I finished at le Wagon.This IS the best bootcamp out there. Don’t think twice!
