The joint GoKunming and Le Wagon springtime special will help you change your career in China. First you'll learn to code at Le Wagon Chengdu, one of the country's top programming learning centers. For a limited time — now until March 15, 2018 — if you sign up through this offer, you get:

• 10 percent discount on tuition (3,600 yuan value)
• Internship opportunity at CloudBridge Consulting International (GoKunming's parent company) in our Chengdu or Kunming office
• Career trajectory into a full-time tech career

This offer is valid for the next full-time Le Wagon coding bootcamp, which runs from April 2 - June 2.

GoKunming introduction

Southwest China's largest, most long-standing, online English-language platform, GoKunming.com, was created more than ten years ago by a linguistic and regional enthusiast and a computer programmer. Both carried through their vision to create a free, lasting and ever-growing resource devoted to connecting Yunnan province to the outside world.

Over the last six years, a new team of business-minded creators and developers reinvented the platform into the expanded company, CloudBridge — Media by Design, which now produces online products and campaigns for major government bureaus and private companies based in China. Yunnan is only the beginning. As we've experienced rapid growth, we are on track to open a satellite office in Chengdu this spring.

Le Wagon introduction

Le Wagon is a global coding bootcamp and network of tech professionals founded in Paris in 2013 and operating in Chengdu and Shanghai since late 2016. They now operate in 19 countries and have a strong alumni network of over 2,500 graduates. They offer an intensive nine-week training program that was awarded Best Coding Bootcamp 2017 by the rankings site Switchup.org. Their program brings technical skills to talented and hardworking people.

In only two months students build several web apps, including a clone of Airbnb and their own team project. We also teach how to develop within the Chinese internet ecosystem, including how to build highly sought after WeChat mini programs (小程序). Students deploy these apps and build a solid portfolio which they can use to apply to jobs and internships.

Le Wagon's graduates have a track-record in founding successful startups and becoming project managers, front or back-end developers, freelance WeChat mini program developers and much more. They work at companies and startups in Chengdu, Shanghai, Ningbo, Hong Kong, Taiwan and more.

Together with Le Wagon we welcome smart and hard-working individuals at beginner level for a fully immersive bootcamp led by both local and foreign industry professionals.
