Here are the steps to apply at Le Wagon:

Go to Le Wagon Lyon program page , click on "Apply to Lyon" and choose your bootcamp rhythm in the drop-down menu: full-time or part-time.

Fill out the application form with your motivations and book a slot for an admission interview. This interview lasts half an hour and will allows us to evaluate your motivation, to know more about your professional project as well as your expectations regarding the bootcamp. To prepare for the interview, we strongly advise you to read our syllabus have a real look at the program and the languages ​​taught at Le Wagon.

You will also have a technical test to complete on CodeCademy to discover Ruby (which is the main language taught at Le Wagon): This is a ten hours exercice that you will have to complete within one week.

Those two tests will be used to estimate your motivation and then approve your application or not. It is only once you completed both the technical test and the interview that we will be able to give you an answer under 7 days.

If your application is approved, you will receive an online contract to sign. You will also have to pay a deposit in order to ensure your place in the next session (equivalent to 1/3 of the bootcamp fees).

In Lyon, courses are delivered in french. But video tutorials and coding exercices are in english. Thus our students need to have a good english level to be confortable throughout their learning experience.

At Le Wagon, around 80% of the students are novice programmers. After having taught 6,000+ people how to code, we know that the ability of our students to succeed during and after the bootcamp is based above all on their motivation and work provided during the training.

There is no such thing as a typical profile among our students: recent graduates, professionals working in marketing, engineering, sales, lawyers, journalists, architects, musicians... Our alumni are between 18 and 55, and they all share the same curiosity and enthusiasm for coding.

By attending Le Wagon bootcamp you can get certified as "Web Application Developer-Developer". This certification is registered in the National Professional Certification Office (RNCP) and is recognized by the state. Therefore this is a certification and not a diploma that you can take at the end of the training.

Joining Le Wagon doesn't make it possible to obtain a student status. Regarding tourist or business visa, you can directly contact your local city prefecture for more information and help.

We recently conducted an alumni survey and created an infographic in order to answer to the most common questions among our students such as: - How long will I need to find a job? - What position can I hold after the bootcamp? - What type of contract? - For which salary? And many more...

We make every effort to best support our students in their job search at the end of the bootcamp. At the end of the 9-week full-time program, or 24-week part-time program, we organize offices hours: a dozen of workshops with Le Wagon's privileged partners - tech startups, product managers, investors - aiming to support students in their post-bootcamp projects. Among these partners we have many tech startups such as Tilkee, MealCanteen or PerAngusta

Le Wagon also gives you access to a broad and international community of +6,000 alumni. They often come back to Le Wagon to give tips and feedback to new students, and they will very often share job & co-founder opportunities.

On our side, we are very close to many tech companies and often do direct intro. We also have a Career Playbook, in which we explain how to continue to progress after the bootcamp, how to prepare yourself at technical tests, how to find a job of junior developer etc

The result? Our alumni looking for a job at the end of the program usually achieve their goals within less than 3 months. Obviously, we cannot promise anything: we consider that a candidate's ability to find a job is above all based on their involvement and motivation.

Ruby is an excellent language to start with. Its syntax is light which makes this language understandable and easy to learn for beginners. It also allows them to be autonomous in creating websites or applications to quickly test their ideas. On the other hand, the Ruby developers community is active, mature mature and stable. It is composed of senior developers keen to help juniors to develop their skills. Ruby is used by some of the best tech startups such as Airbnb or Github.
