Le Wagon is definitely a Life changing experience I would recommend it to anyone! The quality of teachers and teacher assistants is extraordinary; whenever I had a doubt or I was confused with an exercise, I always received guidance and never felt uncomfortable asking for help. The Barcelona crew was always supportive, helpful, empathetic and kind.

It seems impossible going from none coding experience to being able to build an app in just 9 weeks!; But it is indeed possible! At Le Wagon you’ll learn the foundations and you’ll develop a way of thinking in which is easier to learn any other programming language.

One of my favorite things about Le Wagon was that it felt as if we were a family, and even though that we were a super diverse group, we all came from different backgrounds and nationalities but among other things we had one special thing in common: We all wanted to change our life through learning to code.

Le Wagon is amazing by itself, but having the opportunity to do the bootcamp in a vibrant city such as Barcelona is a great add on!

Right now I'm on the other side of the 9 week Full stack Web Developer Bootcamp. Going from a beginner coder to now, I am amazed at what I have achieved. I already have some interviews lined up and I have started building my website portfolio plus a new app idea of my own.
I would not have been able to do this had it not been for Le Wagon's bootcamp and the help and support of Gus and the team here in Barcelona.
I would recommend the Le Wagon bootcamp to anyone, especially here in Barcelona, where we have sunshine almost every day and different fun events every weekend. It was great to have a whole new group of friends to enjoy this beautiful city (and make hilarious coding jokes with!!!).
Good luck future coders!

Le wagon bootcamp was a very exciting challenging experience for me. Beyond the coding itself, I have gained an understanding of full stack web development concepts from product design to MVP, and the skills to collaborate on projects on GitHub with the other developers. The learning environment is fast-paced, exciting and fun. Le wagon staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. I was very impressed by the teachers; they are always patient, accessible and were able to put themselves in the students’ shoes to explain difficult concepts in a clear manner. They have a real passion for sharing their experience and expertise. Moreover, having access to the “Le Wagon global community” beyond the bootcamp is a fantastic resource for networking and meeting interesting new people that entered the tech world coming from untraditional backgrounds across cities. One of the highlights for me was demo day, where we got to present our final team project, put together in less than 2 weeks.

In 2016, I voluntarily joined a 2-hour coding workshop by Le Wagon at the University of Mannheim in Germany. It was an optional workshop which was offered as part of a congress I participated in. This was the first time, I actually noticed how much I enjoyed coding. One year later, I joined a young e-commerce business where I was exposed to SQL and again I figured, that I really enjoyed it. After finishing my bachelor’s degree, I did not feel like moving on the way I did for my future job. So I remembered the coding workshop I did in 2016 and started researching about coding schools all around the world. In the end, Le Wagon convinced me the most, as I had some minor experiences with their teachers during my workshop in university and at the same time it was the shortest and least expensive coding bootcamp I could find on the Net.

My experience at Le Wagon Barcelona came in with so many highlights. Not only did I enjoy learning a new professional skill, but I met loads of amazing people who inspired me every day. I loved going to class and buddying with a new partner daily to solve our coding challenges. Learning to code was fun and challenging at the same time. Looking back, I can say, that this coding bootcamp has changed my life for the good and that I have made friends for life.

I loved living in Barcelona because it is a lively city, but still relaxed at the same time. It seems hard to get tired of all the things Barcelona has to offer – be it pubs, clubs, sporting activities, hikes etc. I myself love to do sports and to be in nature. Living in Gracía, the Tibidabo mountain was not far and it always allowed me to enjoy beautiful sunrises with a view on Barcelona in the mornings before class. I was also able to join some cool boxing classes, bootcamps in the park, yoga sessions on rooftops and so on for almost no money, as the first class was always free while the choice of different sport studios was huge!

For future students, I would advise to live in the area of Gracía as you will mainly be busy with class during the week and it seems painful to have to take the metro every single day to get to class. Moreover, you will notice that most of the times, you will hang out around Gracía for drinks in the evening as this is the area where students and teachers will know where to go because you always pass some cool places on the way from or to class.

In terms of preparation for class, I can only advise future students to actually watch the lecture each night before class, so you will be able to quickly grabs the logic of coding. I also found that every time I watched the video the night before class, I was able to understand things, which I had not noticed by only watching the video or solely visiting the lecture. Hearing things twice really helps to get a deeper understanding of things!

Learning to code at Le Wagon is a life-changing experience!

Have you ever been in front of a tech product and had the feeling that you did not understand at all how it had been built? That was exactly how I felt before doing Le Wagon.

I was in my last year of a degree in International Business Economics when I realized I wanted to do something more. I started asking myself: “What do I want to do next?“, and so I started thinking about what I had enjoyed the most during the university, what were my interests, etc... And when doing that reflection, I realized that my favorites classes were always those in which we talked about tech products and entrepreneurship.

“But I don’t know much about technology…“, was my next concern. I was open to keeping learning new skills, so I started looking for boot camps and then I found Le Wagon, which offered exactly what I was looking for.
And now, as a recent graduate of Le Wagon, I can say that the program fully met my expectations. The days at Le Wagon were very practical, which helped me a lot to consolidate the concepts and learn their day to day use. Moreover, every day we were assigned a buddy with which we had to do some exercises, which was a really good opportunity to learn from our colleges. But most importantly, I would like to say that the Bootcamp was not only a big chance to learn technical skills, but also to meet really interesting people from all around the globe. The vibes during the 9 weeks were just amazing!!! Energy, motivation, and eagerness to learn were the air I breathed every day.

Thanks to Le Wagon, now I feel ready to start a career in Product Management.

Le Wagon changed my life completely. This bootcamp is not only for learning to code, more for being able to manage your life if you really want which anyone didn’t teach you in your school or in you work.
To decide attending the bootcamp isn't really easy especially if you have a good career and good salary because you don't want to get out from your comfortable zone.
But I just realised after this bootcamp that sometime we need to decide and make big change in our life otherwise our life will be same and never learn anything. Now I have more independent mind set and I can manage my life by my self 🙂

It’s been almost 4 weeks since I left Barcelona and Le Wagon behind and I am left with some pretty incredible skills and memories that I will carry with me for a very long time. Deciding to spend my summer in Barcelona and at Le Wagon was probably one of the best decisions ever. I was studying my first year at uni as a Business Administration and IT student when I first was introduced to coding. Meanwhile the coding classes I had in uni made me doubt however I would ever be able to code Le Wagon proved me wrong!

The Le Wagon experience is one I would recommend to everyone. Except giving me a new set of skills the bootcamp also gave me a huge confidence boost, knowing that I am now capable of doing something I never thought I would be able to do.

I am so grateful for all of the incredible teachers and staff at the Barcelona campus and also my amazing classmates. Now I am looking forward to learning a lot more and searching for new projects to work on. The first one will be building a website for my fathers company!
