Wild Code School review: how does it differ from Jedha?

Wild Code School vs Jedha: the main differences 

Wild Code School and Jedha Bootcamp both train for Tech careers, but they have very different approaches. Here are the 4 main differences between the two schools: 

• Training by level: in each field, Jedha offers 3 levels of training (beginner, advanced, expert) which can be combined to suit each student's professional project. 
• Course duration: for example, Jedha's Data Analyst Bootcamp lasts 3 months, compared with 5 months for Wild Code School. 
• Learning methods: Wild Code School offers sandwich courses, which Jedha does not. Conversely, Jedha offers all its courses on a part-time basis, which is not the case at Wild.
• The hybrid format: Jedha lets you mix face-to-face and distance learning during your training, just as you would in your ‍professional life. 

Wild vs Jedha: presentation 

Wild Code School  

Along with Le Wagon, Wild Code School is one of the pioneers of Coding Bootcamp in France. The school was founded in 2013 in La Loupe, in the Centre region of France by Anna Stepanoff. Its aim: to create alternatives to the traditional university system to train for careers in web development. 

The school then diversified its training offer with programs in Data, Cybersecurity and UX Design. It also opened 6 campuses in France, in Paris, Bordeaux, Lille, Lyon, Toulouse and Nantes. The historic La Loupe campus in the Centre region was closed in 2023. 

Jedha

Jedha is also a pioneering school in its field, that of Data! Antoine Krajnc, its founder and CEO, was the first to create a Bootcamp dedicated to Data Science in Europe in 2017. 

Since then, the school has expanded its range of courses to include a Data Analysis Bootcamp and a Cybersecurity Bootcamp. It has trained over 1,900 alumni in Tech professions, and has been named Best Data Bootcamp and Best Cybersecurity Bootcamp in 2023 by Course Report. 

Wild Code School vs Jedha: training & learning methods  

In short: Wild Code School offers training in many areas of Tech, while Jedha has cultivated a very strong expertise in 2 closely related fields: Data & Cybersecurity!

Wild Code School: a general IT school

Originally specializing in web development, Wild Code School is now a much more generalist IT school. They offer training in 4 areas: 

• Web Dev
• Data and Artificial Intelligence
• Infrastructure and Cybersecurity
• Product Design

Their training courses are designed both to enhance the skills of professionals already working in technical functions (Skills Courses), and to help them learn a new trade. 

Training to become a data analyst or work in cybersecurity can be taken in 2 different ways: 

• in a full-time bootcamp over 5 months. Wild Code School does not offer part-time bootcamps like Jedha does.
• 12 to 15 months, with one week in class and 3 weeks on the job. 

Jedha: diploma courses that are 100% flexible 

Conversely, Jedha Bootcamp is more specialized, since our school only offers training in Data and Cybersecurity, with 3 flagship courses: 

• Training to become a Data Analyst - 450h 
• Training to become a Data Scientist - 450h
• Cybersecurity training - 420h

The good news is that these courses are accessible to everyone, whatever your starting level! That's one of Jedha's special features. In each field, we offer several levels of training, always including a beginner's course to bring you up to speed and enable you to move on to more advanced training. 

Last but not least, the diplomas we award make it easier for you to enter the job market! All our training courses lead to a diploma and open the right to certifications registered with the RNCP and recognized by the French State!

Jedha highlights

• Courses adapted to beginners: "Not only were the courses accessible for a novice like me, but the teachers and teaching team were also extremely supportive. Convinced and motivated by this first experience, I naturally followed up with the datafullstack training course."
• Learning by doing: "Excellent training program and projects that put us in real-life situations and allow us to practice what we've learned and also discover other tools."
• The Julie e-learning platform: "Very comprehensive training, access to the Julie platform which is also very comprehensive (I'm still using it!) and really covers the subjects in depth (even for the Essentials training). It's an excellent course for getting started in Data".

Jedha's weaknesses

• Not enough theory: "There's not much theory, and you'll be competing on the job market with candidates who have done masters or theses, who have a much better grasp of theoretical concepts."
