Le Wagon's Data Science & AI course is a 9-week full-time or 24-week part-time program, taught in English online and at campuses in Europe, Canada, Latin America and Asia, that assumes you already code and know some math. It suits someone outside the US who wants an in-person cohort with a dense ML and deep learning schedule. Before paying, get the exact local price and the full job report in writing, since neither is published and there is no US campus or USD price.

Module hours are public but none are allocated to interview preparation; 'technical interview training' is listed under career services without detail.
Job support: structured. Course page promises 'technical interview training', personal branding help, 1:1 coaching, alumni Q&A sessions, access to '1000+ hiring partners', and the claim 'Get a data job in 3 months on average'. No hours, mock interview count or negotiation coaching are specified.
Whatever the program covers, the interview itself is free to prepare for here: coding patterns, system design, practice prompts, company guides.
What a careful reader should know
Le Wagon lists campuses in 27 cities across France, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Americas (Montreal, Quebec, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo), Africa and Dubai plus 'Online', 'Online APAC' and 'Online LATAM' cohorts; there is no US campus and no US-timezone cohort is named, and lewagon.com/united-states returns 404. Tuition is set per city and never shown in USD. The '2024 student job report' is only available after submitting a form, so the placement claims on the course page cannot be checked against a method or response rate. The gap between the 4.95 Course Report score (3,810 reviews) and the Reddit threads is wide: a 2022 r/cscareerquestionsEU thread on the data science course (24 comments) is almost entirely negative, with alumni saying teachers were recent graduates and most of their cohort was not hired.
Third-party signals: Course Report 4.95 (3810 reviews). Reddit sentiment negative. Graduation-time star ratings are collected by the schools; weigh them accordingly.
