Amazing Experience and Resources
I am nearing the end of my UX Design course. What a wild ride, but I haven't been alone. Careerfoundry gives many resources for students to recieve help if they need. That includes a Slack community, tutor, mentor, and student advisors.

Along the way it has been hard at times, but the layout of the course is easy to follow. It let's you know what pace you are at and gives you some freedom. It consists of reading a chapter and doing a project at the end. So you will be learning a lot of hands on skills.
My mentor and tutor have been outstanding and role models. Cameron and Jayneil, thank you so much for your hard work. It is up to the student to schedule calls and follow up if they need help. So you need to be some what of a self starter. I usually am a lazy guy and I was able to do it. So don't give up.
It took a long time to pick a boot camp but I am glad I chose Careerfoundry. The website was the first one I found when randomly researching UX bootcamps. The price was right in the middle and it influenced my decision greatly. Luckily they did a good job at selling the program. I have yet to do my specialization program at the end of the Immersion course, but I know it will be a good experience.
If you aren't sure what bootcamp to decide I suggest Careerfoundry. The job guarantee sells itself really. What do you have to lose? Stop hesitating like I did and take a leap!
Thank you Careerfoundry. - KoshDigital Content Designer • Student • UX Designer • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJan 09, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I am very close to finishing my course and every single day I have been growing my knowledge and design skills with lots of joy. I feel in great hands with very experienced and respectable tutor and mentors dedicated to me. They have always been there for me, for any doubt I have, giving me valuable feedback and lots of encouragement. I enjoy that we also do video calls which make it personal as well! I feel extremely happy studying with CareerFoundry. I read the course with joy as it's written in a very understandable, simple and even fun way. Are you a TOTAL beginner like me? then this is just the perfect guidance, really. I feel I have been learning so much and really build a great portfolio that I can't wait to share when I start applying for jobs. Another thing I find great is the Community at CareerFoundry with other UI/UX, Web development, Data Analyst and more students, currently studying or already graduated. We can give and receive feedback on our work, which is absolutely great and sooo valuable! In these times in 2020 it's more difficult to go places and be very social spending time with others, but since I am doing this course, I gained two study buddies that became my co-work buddies and great friends at the same time. We learn from eachother, network and have a breakfast, dinner or a good cup of coffee together as well. Once again, I feel in great hands at CareerFoundry and I would love to help others and recommend who want to change their career or expand their knowledge in one of these fields. - Lourdes CastroUX/UI Designer • Student • Frontend Development for Designers Course • OnlineVerified by LinkedInDec 07, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Best decision ever joining "Frontend Development for Designers"

I am about to finish my course with Career Foundry (CF)and I couldn´t be happier with the decision I made by choosing it. Now that I have met the bowels of development is not that I will be expert building things by my own but I am ready to take to next level any product with my team as I know how far we can go. Talking the same language is way far important. Even though I have been able to create my own portfolio from scratch, I have learnt HTML, CSS, an introduction of JS and much more things I didn´t expect to learn but CF is really professional covering whole skills of the student and they know how important soft skills are in the professional field. I can say they don´t miss any detail. I would either add I feel quite lucky having the tutor I have, it is really important you connect well with your tutor so they can push you to go further and CF ensure you have such a connection to double-check you are taking the most of your programme. - Melanie FalkUI Designer • Graduate • UI Design Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInDec 05, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
UI Design
More than worth having done the course. A very good overview of all topics and with the practical relevance - excellent. Tutor and mentor have always helped very well. I never thought that the online would work so well. Since I haven't been looking for a job for so long, I can't say too much here yet. But maybe it won't be that easy in times of Corona. But overall never regret having taken the course and aiming for a job change. - RazzaqUI Design Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInDec 05, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
My Best Decision in 2020
Prior joining Career Foundry (CF), I thought I don't need such a course to enter tech industry. With my 10 years experience, I thought my knowledge, skills, professionalism would be enough to switch from Brand Designer to UI/UX. But, after hitting the rejected by more than 100 different tech companies, I decided to join CF. That stage alone wasn't easy because there are so many online/offline course for UI/UX Design Program.

With my 10 years experience, I thought my knowledge, skills, professionalism would be enough to switch from Brand Designer to UI/UX. But, after hitting the rejected by more than 100 different tech companies, I decided to join CF. That stage alone wasn't easy because there are so many online/offline course for UI/UX Design Program.
During the program you will have your own Tutor and Mentor where they will monitoring, giving you insights and feedback to support and make sure your work is meeting industry standard.
I know for some of you and including myself at first, "giving an emotional support, positive thoughts and blablabla, it's such a cliche notion that nobody affected and leading to toxic positivity". But, believe me, I'm a skeptical, bitter and self-driven person turns out really appreciate the emotional support that I didn't believe I would need such a support from all of them. The staff even sending email to me and making sure how I'm with the progress.
One thing maybe that could improve is the payment format for the tuition fee. For some of us, 3,5K euros could be hard to pay, maybe there is an option to have an installment format that we could monthly pay, but it's just an idea. I'm pretty sure the back office have thorough discussion about this.
Anyway, I guess that is all from me, I know it's a long review, it's just showing how I'm fully satisfied with the program and thanks to them, my mindset and skills are expanding and now I got a job because of CF team and the career specialist that keep pushing me. Shout out to Jan, George, Rafi and other CF staff! - ChelseaStudent • UX Designer • OnlineVerified by LinkedInNov 18, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Within the past few months, I have gained an incredible amount of knowledge regarding everything UX (and then some!). Every Exercise has been so thorough, yet easy to understand. But what I value most is the guidance I have been receiving. Student Advisors are always so quick to help with any technical problems, and my Tutor gives me great constructive feedback on my assignments. Most of all, I am very grateful for my Mentor. She’s critical, but in a good way. She pushes me to be the very best I can in order to succeed in this competitive industry. Plus, she has given me so much advice on job searching, interviewing, portfolio creation, and networking. Overall, if you’re thinking about changing your career to UX Design or gaining new skills, I would highly recommend CareerFoundry. It has given me so much hope in finding a career that I will love and excel in!

I never imagined I could do this from the comfort of my own home. Of course, this was also great timing, because I was able to do this during the lockdown situation in Germany. So my workday luckily wasn't affected by the pandemic. I should also mention that I used to work as a store manager. So I had no previous experience in the field. I am really happy I was brave enough to ask the Agentur für Arbeit to sponsor this course with the Bildungsgutschein. I am excited to see what my future career looks like. For now, I can already say that the work as a UI Designer feels much more fulfilling.

Best decision!
It was the best decision I made in a very long time. First I was sceptic about how applicable the content would be and how professional my Tutors and Mentors will be, but after the first week, there were no doubts left. I am an established designer already and it worked perfectly for me. I received great professional support and the challenges were both perfect for beginners but also for established professionals.

Great supports from your tutor, mentor and student advisor for the whole time of studying
Less than a year, I was looking for a new opportunity to change my job for months. I was disappointed about all those years that I did design projects and wasn't satisfied with what I had as a job. I'm over 30 and a "very conservative person" to make new decisions and change things in my life.

I was disappointed about all those years that I did design projects and wasn't satisfied with what I had as a job. I'm over 30 and a "very conservative person" to make new decisions and change things in my life. The first time that a friend suggested me to look for UX courses, I started exploring and ask some friends in Toronto, New York and Berlin to give me a suggestion, where to study and what to do. That was impressive that none of them knew each other, but all suggested to start with CareerFoundry.
I booked three calls and asked many questions. After the second call, they even recorded a video and explained all my questions in it. That time I felt the big difference in how they care about people.
One of the excellent options was I could pay in ten months, and that wasn't that much pressure for me. Still, I wasn't sure if I can finish it and was worried if I drop this course like several times that I dropped my design university courses.
I said to my student advisors, tutor and mentor about my most significant problem, "lack of self-confidence". And I could improve this feeling in the first month, and I resigned my job to focus/ practise more on what I learn.
That was impressive that usually during a day for several times, I asked many questions from my tutor (Moritz Oesterlau from Germany) and he answered all of them one by one or corrected my assignments with examples, different online sources, videos, etc. For several times he even created a video while reviewing my project to show how should I do the task.
Beside Moritz, I also had a fabulous mentor (Piet Alberts from South Africa) that helped a lot and showed me how to invest my time in the right way to have a professional result. It was awesome that all students could book 100 times their mentor for an hour video call.
I had to study 15 hours a week, but day by day, I feel greater about how I learn and have this much progress; After a while, I spent 10-12 a day to study, reading UX books or watching tutorials.
My third mentor (Marion Sénéchal from Switzerland) joined the team in the middle of course. Job guarantee wasn't only a word to get more students. I almost made "all the materials" for my CV, Linkedin and website from zero. (during all these times, I had great supports from three student advisors who asked me every week if I feel good or bad about course.
The last point I want to mention is after you finish all courses (job course too), every two weeks you have a video call with your job mentor and explained what you could do for getting job offers for six months. During this time if you get an interview before your next appointment, you contact the school, and they "immediately" book a special time for you (with your mentor or if it's not possible, with another mentor) and you work on the essential skills that are needed during the interview.
As a conservative person that is 30+, I highly recommend CareerFoundry to change your life and have your "new career", not "a job". - Arnold MedelUX Designer • UX Design Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInSep 25, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

One can't say it was just a superficial look into the world of UX. Though, from my studies, it's clear it is just the tip of the iceberg. I feel that the Career Foundry course and the exercises we were required to do have given me a good, real world foundation into the world of UX Design. An online course requires a large degree of self discipline (something I admittedly struggle with) but I was able to work through it and fall into a rhythm that helped me get through. The information provided seemed up to date and relevant to the real world and constant contact with my tutor and mentor (both current professionals) helped reinforce that. I found both of them to be top notch, always giving me precise feedback and suggestions on how I can improve my work. The student advisors were always helpful and provided quick responses (within 24 hours) to any organizational questions I had. Their Slack student community was also a plus, providing peer review, anecdotes and support when things got tough. It's also a great source of networking. Negatives? I suppose the online format can be a challenge as there is no instructor on a zoom call, for example. Lots of reading and tasks to perform every day. It can be a lot to juggle. I found the Career Foundry website and the messaging a bit wonky. Ironically hard to navigate and the tutors/mentors didn't always get our messages. I'll see once I start working in my new field if it was enough to get a foot in the door. Did I learn anything? I'd say so. I only knew this subject matter peripherally through my current job. It will be up to me to practice what I've learned through self-directed challenge so I can really absorb and internalize it. I would recommend this program as it is well organized and logically put together. Each exercise builds off of the knowledge you'd learned before and concepts are repeated so that you don't forget. Only time will tell if it is enough for me to transition into this new career. - Bara'a AbuHusseinUX Designer • Graduate • UX Design Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInSep 16, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
