Review in detail
Le Wagon's legal notice names Galiléo Global Education 4, a société par actions simplifiée registered in Paris under number 999908528, as editor. The notice states that the website is hosted by Scaleway in Paris.
The German imprint names Le Wagon GmbH in Berlin (HRB 183611). The page footer also reads Le Wagon, Inc., which we could not tie to a contracting entity.
Which programmes does Le Wagon run?
Le Wagon lists AI Software (400 hours), Data Science & AI (400 hours), Data Engineering (200 hours), Data Analytics (400 hours), Cybersecurity Analyst, Cloud & DevOps Engineer and AI Product Manager.
It distinguishes bootcamps of about 400 hours from skill courses of about 40 hours.
How does teaching work?
Classes are live with instructors, on site or online. Le Wagon says it has 27 campuses and 33,000 alumni.
Free options and quality label
Le Wagon links free tech courses, workshops and events. It also shows a Qualiopi certificate for training actions.
Known limits
Le Wagon is a bootcamp, not a subscription, so it replaces Codecademy's live bootcamps rather than its daily lessons. Tuition is on a separate page we did not read. The page footer mentions Le Wagon, Inc., and the ultimate owner beyond Galiléo Global Education 4 was not checked. For self-paced learning, see Mimo.
