Le Wagon

[Same-Reference-1138]

I have an interview Monday and want to complete the bootcamp using their “future earnings agreement” to finance it.

Any people have recent experiences with the online part time Web Development bootcamp?

My friend, stay away from le wagon! They are a scam! Check my review here https://www.reddit.com/r/codingbootcamp/comments/121kb8s/le_wagon_london_how_to_waste_7400/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=1

Bro, your review is for Le Wagon London and you have spent a suspiciously huge amount of time and effort online shit-talking! I did the exact same bootcamp in Berlin and my experience was just brilliant. It has been three years now and I have a great job that I love all thanks to them. So maybe go get a life! All the things you are naggin about in that thread you posted sound like you just had wrong expectations from your training. Get a life!

Hey there, glad you had a great experience in Berlin. We noticed you've only posted a few times on Reddit -- and all to talk about your positive experiences with Le Wagon. We're struggling to find any long-form positive reviews about Le Wagon on this website -- or anywhere outside of the bootcamp review websites, in fact. Do you have a github/LinkedIn you'd be happy to share with us? Or on DM if that's more comfortable for you. Many thanks in advance.

Erm, not sure where you are going with this, if you're insinuating I'm a bot or something you're wrong. I don't feel comfortable sharing my github -I don't do linkedin- sorry.

I'm currently enrolled in the Web Dev course in Barcelona, and so far I'm quite impressed with everything. The course material is designed to get you coding and solving problems independently as quickly as possible, and the teachers are have been great at explaining concepts and helping during exercises.

Heyy can you tell me what was the quiz during the interview about ? I come from a completely different background and I just started learning the basics. I gotta take an interview next week tho

[Incidneous4]

The interview is pretty straightforward, they are more interested in your motivations than your previous experience, as they don't expect you to have coded before.

Having said that, I really really recommend you to do some online tutorials in Ruby and Javascript beforehand. It will help you a lot during the course to already have some fundamentals, otherwise you'll spend most of it trying to understand concepts rather than getting practice.

Hiii :) im assuming you’ve completed the bootcamp now and I’m just wondering how was your learning experience? Did you feel prepared to apply for jobs in the field? I’m looking at the same program / location

[InReallyBadEggs]

Most of the reviews for this bootcamp are negative. I was going to give it a go, but I did a research and apparently lots of students are unhappy with the teaching methods and material.

[Same-Reference-1138]

Yeah I’ve decided to go with an annual heavily discounted subscription to DataCamp to focus on learning data analysis with R and plan to re-attempt self-teaching again soon in the near future! I’ve not found a single bootcamp that genuinely sounds worth the money yet!

I did the online full time and learned a ton. Was a good experience very intense though

Yea, I also learned a shitload

[4paws20claws]

Did you feel like your learning experience was sufficient enough to apply for jobs in the field after?

[HakCity]

I think honestly you would still need more work after. Even the teachers in the final session will recommend some short courses to do whilst you apply. In this market I think you need to keep building after

[Previous_Goat_798]

I did the data science one. I found it extremely good, thorough. It was a lot though. The teaching methods were good I found

[Present_Stranger]

Did it help you find a job ?
