Our online bootcamps are designed to empower individuals with the technical expertise and practical knowledge needed to thrive in the tech industry. Every year we help more students from very diverse backgrounds on their learning journeys. Here is the story of some of them.

 

Bridging backgrounds: different paths, same goals

Meet Neus, a seasoned professional from Spain with a background in hospitality and human resources. Despite her extensive experience, Neus felt the urge to explore new horizons and transition into the tech field.

With Le Wagon’s online bootcamp, she found a flexible and supportive environment to embark on this journey, embracing the challenges and opportunities that came her way.

The bootcamp itself is incredibly intense, packing a lot of material into a relatively short timeframe. But for me what made it so special and beneficial was the incredible sense of community. Despite the rigorous pace, you’ll never feel alone on your learning journey.

On the other hand, there’s Marc, an IT consultant who sought to rejuvenate his career with specialized technical skills. Juggling international projects and frequent relocations, Marc found Le Wagon’s online format to be the perfect fit, providing him with the flexibility to pursue his learning goals while adapting to his dynamic lifestyle.

As an experienced professional , I was looking to get introduced to ML and AI -topics that I am highly interested in and are in high demand by the industry – but I needed a course to get me i) up-to-date with the latest trends in this industry with ii) the right amount of theory and iii) hands-on coding experience. As such, the “Data Science and AI” program was just the right answer for my learning needs.

At the time I enrolled at Le Wagon, I was moving countries, making it difficult to follow classes in one physical location. As such, the online bootcamp was the natural option to do the training “on the move”.

Empowering career shifts: from dream to reality

For Margarita, a content editor turned e-commerce manager, the decision to transition into web development was driven by a desire for structured learning and a solid foundation. With an online bootcamp, Margarita found the support and guidance she needed to embark on this new career path, ultimately achieving her goal of becoming a web developer.

I tried online self-paced courses more than once, and mainly struggled with the lack of structure and solid foundation to progress along the course. So, I kept falling behind and struggling to follow along or even ask questions. It takes a certain amount of self-discipline and time to learn by yourself, and it definitely is doable; it’s just not for everyone. I wanted support and structure, and that’s why I ended up signing up for a Web Development bootcamp.
