10 years of experience
Le Wagon was founded in 2013 and has 10 years of experience teaching tech skills and helping people change their life, start a career in tech and thrive in their new job. More than 23,000 alumni have graduated from our bootcamps in 40 cities around the world, and Le Wagon is the most acclaimed coding bootcamp worldwide on Switchup according to student reviews. Feel free to reach out to any of our graduates on Linkedin to hear what they have to say about Le Wagon.
Making you team-ready
We've spent a lot of time improving our bootcamps to teach our students the core concepts and give them solid foundations, but also to make sure they learn how to collaborate in a tech team with the right methodology and workflow, and that they know how to use modern tools and apply best practices in Web Development and Data. This makes Le Wagon's graduates extremely interesting for tech recruiters since lots of other bootcamps don't necessarily teach these extra skills focusing their curriculum more on a specific technology or language.
A unique community
Le Wagon's community is the most active bootcamp network with more than 23,000 alumni, 213 startups founded by alumni (raising more than $1 billion altogether) and 1000 teachers in Web Development and Data. Once you graduate from Le Wagon, you belong to this vibrant family, you will keep learning for life with the support of this community, and access unique job and freelance opportunities.
Full-time schedule
The full-time bootcamp is a 9-week program, from Monday to Friday, 9am - 6pm. To get the most out of the program, you need to be fully committed to it as it is a truly demanding experience (360 hours of code in 9 weeks + the additional time for preparation work). Generally, people who keep a side activity during the bootcamp struggle to keep pace.
Part-time schedule
The part-time bootcamp is a 24-week program, where students can learn in their free time when it's most convenient for them. Keep your own pace by watching weekly lectures and completing quizzes at a time that suits you. You can choose two live learning sessions each week to engage with teachers and students.
The part-time program is a marathon of 24 weeks! It requires students to be rigorous, do their homework, and be even more committed than full-time.
Note that the part-time schedule can be slightly adapted in each city and include some breaks for public holidays.
We do not provide accommodation or catering. The price of the course only includes the tuition - and unlimited tea and coffee. Nonetheless, our city managers will be more than happy to recommend some great places for your stay as they are used to helping students find accommodation and have lots of good plans.
The main difference between Le Wagon’s bootcamps and an academic degree in Computer Science or Data Science is the emphasis on hands-on skills over foundational theory. Academic degrees start with deep theoretical concepts, which are essential for advanced roles but less directly applicable to most practical tech projects.
Le Wagon’s bootcamps focus on applied skills with modern tools, enabling you to build web applications, data projects, and more from the start. While not designed for specialized roles at companies like Tesla or Google without prior experience, the bootcamp prepares you for junior roles like developer, data scientist, or product manager, allowing you to contribute value immediately and continue learning on the job.

Our full-time bootcamp is structured for intensive, hands-on learning, with classes held Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm (CET). Each day begins with a 1.5-hour theoretical session introducing new concepts and frameworks, followed by practical challenges and exercises that reinforce these lessons.
Throughout the day, you'll collaborate in a “buddy system,” pairing with a classmate to work through coding exercises, brainstorm solutions, and tackle complex problems. Teachers are available throughout to support and guide you as you navigate each task. At the end of each day, the class gathers to review and solve challenging exercises with the teacher, solidifying understanding and fostering collaboration.
In the final two weeks, you’ll focus on a comprehensive team project with up to five classmates, applying everything you’ve learned to build a final product, which you’ll present on the last day of the bootcamp. For students attending on campus, daily attendance is essential to fully benefit from the immersive experience and structured support provided by our instructors and peers.
If attending a bootcamp on-campus every day will be difficult, you can explore our online bootcamps and part-time options instead.

Yes, you’re welcome to attend events on campus as an online student. However, campuses aren’t designed for on-demand access to follow your Online training. Availability depends on the specific campus, as some may have limited capacity or restricted hours, such as evenings. We encourage you to check with your local campus team for details on event schedules.
Great question! Yes, it’s possible to switch from a full-time bootcamp to a part-time option, but this decision needs to be carefully evaluated by our pedagogical team. They will assess your situation and work with you to find the best solution, ensuring you can continue to benefit from the program at a pace that suits your needs.
It’s important to attend all classes to get the most out of your learning experience. One major advantage of the Online format is the flexibility to attend from home. However, if you must miss a class, you’ll have a limited number of justified absences, which will be communicated to you during the program.
Classroom sizes vary depending on the number of students who pass the application process. Some online classrooms may be larger or smaller than on-campus ones, but we always maintain a student-to-teacher ratio that ensures personalized attention and a high-quality learning experience.
Bootcamp costs vary by location to reflect local living expenses, even for online programs. However, the Online format offers unmatched flexibility and convenience while maintaining the same high-quality content, live instruction, and all-day support. This makes it an excellent investment in your education and career growth.
