Le Wagon Lisboa - Escola de Programação

After looking into several code schools and having tried online courses, I decided in July 2022 to start the full time Le Wagon Web Development boot camp in Lisbon. The boot camp contains of 9 weeks fast paced learning how to code plus 1 week that is focused on a career in tech. The journey was an amazing roller-coaster ride, with emotional highs and lows. But that is exactly how the Le Wagon program is designed, to make sure you perform at your maximum learning capabilities. The buddy system of Le Wagon makes sure that you’re not alone, you and your daily assigned buddy will work together on assignments during the day, that relate to the morning lectures. There are also Teachers and Assistants available every day to guide you with their knowledge. They are really amazing, not just with their knowledge, but also their patience, humor and encouragement (which you will need from time to time!). The last 3 weeks of coding, you work in a small group on projects, teaching you also how to work together in a team. It’s been an amazing journey, where I learned a lot of new coding techniques, web design skills and met amazing fellow minded individuals. Even though it was tough at times (it’s a boot camp after all!), I loved every minute of it!
