F.A.Q.

Once the bootcamps ends, you will benefit from our career services.

Our local team will help you prepare for tech interviews, meet the best local recruiters and connect with relevant alumni. You will also have access to a complete guide to kick-start your tech career after the course: boost your portfolio, prepare for technical interviews, leverage on our 10,000 alumni community, but also to lots of useful Slack channels to find jobs or freelance opportunities.

Our local team will introduce you to the right people depending on your goal and you will meet with inspiring alumni who will come back to share their post-bootcamp experiences, like how they found a job, started their own company or freelancing career.

These are some career services we will provide:

  • Networking events, job fairs, career workshops and office hours with alumni or tech recruiters
  • Coaching sessions with our Talent Manager or local alumni
  • Resources our Career Playbook
  • Introductions to our network of hiring partners through our Hiring Newsletter
  • Career week with practical workshops (from building a portfolio to inspiring talks)

Some cities offer specific funding options with local financial partners, like deferred tuition plans, student loans with interesting conditions or Income Share Agreements (ISA). Again, you will find more details about these options on the page of each city on Le Wagon’s website. Also feel free to reach out to the local admission manager to have more details about their local funding options.

To become a successful web developer, one needs to possess a mix of soft and technical skills. 

Soft skills are essential to navigate the dynamic and fast-paced tech industry. These include being an independent learner, possessing excellent problem-solving skills, enjoying learning new things, and having excellent communication skills.
 
On the technical side, a web developer needs to be proficient in HTML, CSS, JavaScript and, Ruby, UX and UI. And have a strong understanding of web development frameworks, APIs, and databases.

With these skills, a web developer can build responsive and visually stunning websites, maintain and update existing ones, and continually improve their craft to stay relevant in the ever-evolving tech industry.


You need to be 18 to enroll for the course. However, you can apply if you are 17 as long as you turn 18 before the start of the bootcamp.

At the end of the 9 weeks (full-time) or 24 weeks (part-time), you will have a Ruby on Rails junior developer level. This means you will be able to quickly prototype your ideas by creating web applications on your own. For instance, you will know how to include authentication to your web application (simple signin/signup, or Facebook/WeChat connect), add an admin back-office, include payment features, automate e-mails sending, and much more. You will also know how to quickly deploy in production and you will have learnt the programming best practices used by the best tech companies. You will then have different options at the end of the course:

  • Find a developer job (front-end developer, back-end developer or full-stack developer)
  • Find a tech-related job (e.g. product manager, solution engineer, operations manager, customer success manager, etc.) in a startup or a tech company
  • Continue your entrepreneurial journey
  • Become a freelance web developer

You will learn some concepts behind mobile app development. Let’s be clear: you will not learn iOS, Android or Windows Phone development. We really think these skills cannot be taught (honestly) in 9 weeks. We prefer teaching you the basics of programming and web development for many reasons. First, these are the core skills of a software engineer, even if you want to dive into mobile development later on. Second, the web is THE open platform you need to understand. Thanks to Responsive Web Design (which is part of the program), and WeChat mini programs (in China), you will be able to create apps that will display nicely on mobile devices. You will also learn to create APIs that will be used by your mobile apps. It will then be very easy for any mobile developers to code your iOS or Android interface starting from the API you’ve built.

Web Development course

You don't need any technical background to join our web development bootcamp. We expect 3 things from our students: be (extremely) motivated, be curious, be social. If this sounds like you, then we'll be more than happy to have you on board if you pass all the selection process.

Data Science course

The Data Science course requires some basic knowledge of programming and mathematics.

  • How much programming do I need to know? Well, you must be comfortable with data types & variables, conditions, loops, functions and data structures like arrays and dictionaries (also called hashes in some programming languages). If you know those topics in other languages than Python (like Ruby, JavaScript, C++, etc.), you have the right programming prerequisites!
  • How much mathematics do I need to know? In order to join our Data Science course, you also need a minimum level in Mathematics and to be familiar with concepts covered in high school's scientific section. We need you to be comfortable with functions, their derivatives & systems of linear equations. To get up to speed, some additional preparation work will be given to you before the bootcamp start to get a refresh of all these concepts as well as more advanced knowledge on linear algebra and statistics.

In most cities, the bootcamp is taught in English.

In French cities, the program is in French. You will have a 1h30 lecture in the morning in French, and a 1h30 live-code in the evening in French as well. So, if you don't understand French correctly, you won't be able to attend the bootcamp in France.

In some other cities (São Paulo, Shanghai, Chengdu, Tokyo) specific sessions are organised in other languages (Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese). You can check the language of the next batch on the "Apply" page.

Extra info: all the challenges' instructions and written documentation are in English, so all students must have a good level and understanding or written English, even in cities where lectures are given in another language.

You can join our web development bootcamp even if you don't have any technical background. 

We believe that anyone can learn to code as long as they possess three essential traits: a strong motivation, an inquisitive mind, and a sociable personality. 

If you fit this description, we would love to welcome you aboard, provided that you successfully pass our admissions process. Keep in mind that you need to be 18 minimum to enroll for the course.

To apply, simply complete the application form on our website by selecting:

  • The course (Web Development, Data Science)
  • The format (9-week full-time, 24-week part-time)
  • The city you're interested in
  • An introduction of why you want to join us and information about your personal project (if you have one!)
This is a quick process which only takes a few minutes. We will then contact you to schedule an interview (either in-person or online) to understand your motivations in more detail and answer any questions you have about our bootcamps.

Mastering programming basics and relational databases is essential before leaping into JavaScript. Unlike typical JavaScript courses, we emphasize relational databases, crucial in real-world contexts. Learn HTML, CSS, Ruby, and SQL to construct data-driven apps. This foundation empowers you to conquer challenges and craft interactive web experiences. Our hands-on approach, spanning HTML, CSS, Ruby, Rails, and JavaScript, ensures flexibility across technologies. Our focus on learning and adaptability equips you to confidently tackle new languages and frameworks.

More than a bootcamp.

By choosing Le Wagon, you are joining a supportive community of alumni, teachers, tech recruiters. Benefit from life-long access to the course material, and to our network job offers.
