LeWagon London - How to waste thousands of pounds and be left with no job and poor mental health! 🥾🏕️🤑😥🤯 Update as of November 2024 - they essentially blocked various emails and their ‘legal’ team, threatened me (the irony). I will continue to tell everyone about my experience here, and what a complete and utter waste of time and money it was. Having actually completed the full time Web Dev course at Le Wagon London in March of 2023 (Jan-March), I can tell you for a fact that it’s not all it might appear from the outside and certainly a number of things are not right. Let’s start with the implications and stats - the reason I did this bootcamp was to aid in a career change. They strongly imply that once you’ve done the bootcamp there’s thousands of tech jobs and that you will be highly employable, unfortunately this is just not the case for the vast majority of people who will leave a Le Wagon bootcamp. They use a Stat of 93% employment rate, which as of today seems to have dropped to 90%, yet still I would be amazed if the inverse of this figure was true and that even 10% of students got a tech job because of the bootcamp. I am awaiting a FOI request about what data they use to come up with these stats. If these stats were true, surely most of the people I did the bootcamp would be employed. I would say less than 10% of them have a job that isn’t either with Le Wagon or that have nothing to do with competing a coding bootcamp! The content of what is taught and how it’s taught is not good, from focusing on Ruby/Rails, something that’s hardly at the forefront of the tech world in 2023 or at the top of an employers wish list. Then there is the inexperienced staff who have little or no teaching experience and the first time they’ve done anything like this is when they’re offered a job by Le Wagon straight from the bootcamp as what they call a TA (teaching assistant). This is how they’re able to keep their costs down, and how the whole thing is able to keep going, one cohort at a time. The lack of attention to any front end design coding or real emphasis on anything that wasn’t Ruby was astonishing. You question this as you’re there, as do other students and you’re all told the same, that it will all come together in the final week - you’re suspicious but tell yourself they’re a big company, it will be ok…. It won’t. Trust your gut! The ‘career week’ was like the icing on top of a really stale cake, and just an absolute farce. Not only did the 3 employers who were invited not have any jobs to offer, and were not actually recruiting, two of them didn’t seem to know why they were there. When their talks about the tech industry finished, we were instructed to talk to them, like some oddball fans, it was almost like we all gathered round to see what other pearls of wisdom they would offer. They didn’t. All in all, 9 weeks later and not much wiser, I would say they had well and truly done a number on me.Almost two years later, and I am a still not in a tech role, and my physical and mental health has suffered considerably, something which is particularly saddening, given that Le Wagon continues to pedal their bootcamps to anyone who is silly enough to believe their nonsense.
Excellent Intensive Bootcamp which delivers the skills and confidence to tackle a career in the tech industry.You will get as much out of this as you put in, with interest - so knuckle down, have fun, enjoy the trials and challenges and know that you will pushed hard. its all part of the learning process, and their helpful team are on hand for support throughout.Received my certification on the 11th March 2022 and since then have enjoyed progressing in my role as a full stack software engineer and have had the opportunity to collaborate on and create some fantastic projects serving the real world needs of customers.
I recently completed a course at Le Wagon, and I must say, it was not worth the £7,000 investment. Despite the high expectations set by the program, I found myself needing to take additional courses after the Bootcamp to be job-ready.Le Wagon claimed that 90% of our batch would land jobs post-Bootcamp, but in reality, it was less than 10%. This discrepancy was incredibly disappointing and misleading.Another major drawback was the involvement of Stepex in the funding process. They constantly wanted to look into my bank account, which felt invasive and added unnecessary stress to the experience.While the tutors were friendly and approachable, the content they taught was insufficient. I quickly realized I needed to learn additional programming languages beyond what was covered in the course to be competitive in the job market.In summary, the course did not live up to its promises or justify the hefty price tag. I would advise potential students to consider other options and be prepared for additional learning and expenses beyond the Bootcamp.
This company did everything well with us. Since the B2G alliance that gave us the opportunity to study with a full scholarship, to the whole course development, which was 10/10 lots of knowledge in 2 months of fulltime study. Excellent methodology.
