One of the best decisions I have ever made
Back in November of 2019, I realized that my current profession is not for me. So I started doing a research on how to use my base education divert to more exciting profession. After much research and countless phone conversations with bootcamps. I decided to proceed with CF.

So I started doing a research on how to use my base education divert to more exciting profession. After much research and countless phone conversations with bootcamps. I decided to proceed with CF.
The course is structured as the following:
1. Intro to UX where you learn to create a sketch prototype. This also acts as the stepping stone for the next section.
2. UX Design immersion. This is where you learn the meat of UX Design, from lo-fi to final polished product design
3. Cherry on top where you get to specialize in one of the following: Voice Design, Web Development & UI Design
We have a tutor, mentor and career advisor.
1. Tutor: Works with you to ensure that your assignments are in line with product development. Sometimes, I wish the mentors could be little tough on the students to nudge them more. I prefer someone little bit tough to get more out of me, but that's just my personal preference.
2. Mentor: This is where I talk to my mentor about my product and walk through my rationale on why I choose certain design decisions. I'd highly suggest getting in regular contact with your mentors to showcase your progress. They usually have suggestions and/or questions.
3. Career Advisor: I haven't had much exposure with him as I'm still trying to finish the course.
Because of what I learned so far, I feel like I've made the best decision. I learned many new concepts and how to tinker with ideas to create an exciting product. In addition to the supports given to you by CF, you also have to be motivated to make the career transition and learn something new.
I cannot judge how other bootcamps are structured. But I've learned a lot from CF and ready to use my knowledge to venture out to a different career path. - Mareike HeuerStudent • Intro to Frontend Development Course • OnlineVerified by LinkedInSep 08, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Great experience with a fully flexible remote program
I want to leave my review for the "Introduction to Frontend Development course" , which is part of the Full-Stack Web Development Program. My experience so far has been awesome. What I enjoy about CareerFoundry is the fact that it's fully flexible, so you can manage your own time. I also appreciate the help I received from my tutor and mentor, who were able to give me insight into bad coding practices, industry knowledge, as well as helping me when I wasn't able to proceed on my own.

I also appreciate the help I received from my tutor and mentor, who were able to give me insight into bad coding practices, industry knowledge, as well as helping me when I wasn't able to proceed on my own. Although the program is remote, there is a community of students who I can connect with on the Student Slack Channel, where there are not only web development specific task-help channels, but also career advisors, who always give you helpful tips. I recommend CareerFoundry to anyone who is looking for a flexible schedule and a community of support :) - ValerieStudent • Intro to UX Design Course • OnlineVerified by LinkedInAug 27, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
UX Design Intro Course
I am writing this review of the 4 week Intro to UX Design Course. I have had an amazing experience so far. I love the mentorship and guidance that CareerFoundry provides. I am glad that they started offering an intro course so that students can decide whether or not they are interested before continuing on to the full immersion courses. Based on my experience in the intro course, I am deciding to continue on to the immersion course as I feel it will be well worth it. - MarkGraduate • Software Engineering Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInAug 22, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Full Stack Web Development Path Review
After doing plenty of research around the various bootcamps (and deciding that giving up my job wasn't an option) I went for the CareerFoundry Full Stack Web Development Course.
My main reasons for choosing the course were:- It was remote and self-paced - This meant I could work it around my full time job.

After doing plenty of research around the various bootcamps (and deciding that giving up my job wasn't an option) I went for the CareerFoundry Full Stack Web Development Course.
My main reasons for choosing the course were:- It was remote and self-paced - This meant I could work it around my full time job.
- The reviews I could find of the Web Development course were good.
- The price made it an affordable option (at the time it was £2500 although I believe this has now increased).
- The material focused on JavaScript and a MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) stack which is a up-to-date approach.
- You are given a tutor and mentor throughout the course who both work in tech, you also get a career coach when you complete the course.
- The Job Guarantee was transparent. Many bootcamps offer a 'job guarantee' but the CareerFoundry one felt like it was written to reassure students of the effectiveness of the course rather than providing so many hoops to jump through no-one would ever qualify for a refund!
The Learning Platform & Content
As the course if fully remote you complete your bootcamp using CareerFoundry's online platform. This platform is easy to use and shows you goals (such as how many sections you need to complete each week). The majority of the lessons are text-based and are laid out really well, each one has a step-by-step task at the end and these seem to get less prescribed as time goes on requiring you to put some of your new skills to good use and learn all about problem solving too. Typically your tutor marks most your work and provides feedback and a pass/needs more work and your mentor marks the final project of each section...you also have Skype calls throughout with your mentor too.
The content as a whole is excellent and I found that I learnt a lot, there's also lots of 'if you'd like to learn more follow this...' links which enable you to go deeper. For me, the pace was spot-on and other than the Redux section which completely confused me I found the whole thing was explained and presented really well. The great thing about having a tutor is that when you get stuck you can reach out to them.
The Extras
The Full Stack Web Development course also offers some extras beyond the material of the course itself.- Mentor/Tutor - Both of these people are there to help you and already work in the industry. I ended up changing mentors halfway through but both were really good. My only piece of feedback for CareerFoundry would be that some more guidance for both students and mentors around what these calls should entail would be really helpful for making the most of them.
- Slack - CareerFoundry offer a Slack community for students past and present. I found that I didn't really use this as the majority of the discussions were around the UX/UI courses rather than Web Development but they were nice to have.
- Career Course - Halfway through your main course you gain access to the career course. This course talks you through things like telling your story as a career changer, helps you write a CV and cover letter, shares good places to apply for jobs, helps you create a good LinkedIn profile and offers some interview advice. As part of this course you have a mentor who offers feedback on your submissions and can tailor their advice when you start applying for roles. My career mentor was excellent and I certainly owe some of my success coming out the course to him.
Summary
Overall I would certainly recommend the CareerFoundry Full Stack Web Development course. The communication from CareerFoundry was great, the course content was really good and they constantly related the content and principals into the workplace which made you feel like you were preparing to put your coding into practice as you went along. I also felt like they didn't try and spoon-feed you everything but helped build your confidence in reading documentation, Googling and learning new things (skills that have really helped me as I've continued my learning after the course). - Taylor RomneyGraphic Designer II • Student • UI Design Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJul 17, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Perfect place to transition careers
CareerFoundry has helped pave the way for me to transition into a new career path. Their curriculum is appropriately comprehensive and self-paced, tuition is reasonable, and they provide an abundance of resources for every step along the way. I have no regrets and am so grateful I found them! They've also continued to stick to their job guarantee despite the COVID pandemic, which to me speaks volumes. - JoannaStudent • UX Designer • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJul 16, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Having a mentor to call and get feedback from is super helpful. As someone doing a career transitioning having this resource feels so valuable. Also there is a welcoming community on Slack where it's easy to reach out to the school, career counsellors, and other students for help.
Since it's a self paced course, you have to be disciplined enough to stick with it- you will get out how much you put in. But overall I can say that the school provides a lot of elements to helping you succeed which is great.

Great foundation to build on
The course teaches you the important basics on what it needs to become a UX-Designer. The tutors and mentors are professional and the ressources are very well sorted and helpful for beginners and intermediates alike. With a real sense for progression the course motivates you to not only achieve your goals fast but also to go a bit further and dive deep into a topic. I really enjoyed the tempo of the course.

Student Of Three Schools.
I've taken courses at General Assembly, Bloc, and now CF. Though all have pros and cons I will say CF has the most thorough self-paced course of them all. GA weighed heavily on the instructor and Bloc wasn't as extensive considering the price. I found CF to be a nice balance and give you the most bang for your buck. - Lea Petrovic NumicGraduate • UX Design Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInMay 07, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
UX Design Program
The UX Design Program is an intensive, and concept heavy course, with lots of helpful information for anyone wanting an introduction to the UX methodology. I'd suggest having some basic graphic and graphic software knowledge before you decide to apply for the course to be able to finish your tasks in the estimated time, especially if English is not your first language.

I'd suggest having some basic graphic and graphic software knowledge before you decide to apply for the course to be able to finish your tasks in the estimated time, especially if English is not your first language.
There's a lot of reading, research, writing, and you'll need to learn using software or graphic language mostly all by yourself. I don't think this is necessarily bad, it's a normal studying process, but it can be stressful to meet the deadlines while having to do some extra research on the side.
Overall, the course meets my level of satisfaction, and the whole experience with CareerFoundry is a positive journey. - StellaStudent • UX Design Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInMay 06, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I started my studies in June 2019 and I am super satisfied with my decision. The articles are clear and easy to understand with extra resources about the topic. The tutor who is assigned is helpful and ready to answer all of the questions I have. Their advisor team is super nice and they even check up on me regularly about how I am feeling with the course. The physical distance does not affect the quality of the studies as there is a great communication flow between the students and teachers and we even have a huge slack community. I had one bad experience with one teacher but everything was sorted out nicely, and feedback is always welcome.
The goals are reachable even beside a full time job, and you can ask for more time if you are sick, or having a holiday.
I had a small graphic design background but believe me you do not need any. You just need some imagination and creativity but you won't be lost if you dont have any design background.
I did not even finish the whole course, but I already got promoted within my company just because the portfolio I made and because of the knowledge I received from Careerfoundry.
Also I am really thankful for the way the articles are written. not too dry and really down to earth.

I've just filled the Alumni Job Survey on Career Foundry LinkedIn group (6 months support, coaching even when you get your first career, which School or University does it? None, just Career Foundry) and I decided to share with you what I got from them because without Career Foundry I would not have this awesome career as UX/UI Designer. Let's see how it goes, it is new plus present sci-fi situation but my GUT Feeling, my Intuition is telling me the good stuff are coming even more and I feel so.
The trust is what we all need, in time of taking the new brave step to a new career path and when we reach pour dream career.
I was asked on this survey provided by Career Foundry if I am willing to help other students with their career path. Yes, I do. 😊 You can reach me at any time even you the reader of Career Report by connecting with me through my website above and below LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/katarzynahasnik/

I am Leader of DevOps, working directly with CEO and CTO, Co-founders, shareholders, clients, Marketing Executive boosting written marketing content, Graphic Designer by revaluating design, logo etc. My role would be updated to Head of Design or Creative Director after initial time as already I was told. Let's see. Just day by day, see how it goes, in this sci-fi, you never know...how the next day would look like, so take it easy and fun😎 I had been called Scrum Master already 😏and running "Clarity of Communication" weekly workshops to implement transparent culture, honest and upfront. I mentor my workmate, Graphic Designer by daily Zoom to field fo UX/UI. Plus I create UX/UI for our software products.
Just a few more words about the recruiting process.
When you know you know. It is not about Love only. Let the MAGIC happen! Believe it and let the Gut speak for you. Do not analyse too much. Logical thinking does not work here. Just go with the flow. Hiring managers, CTO, Co-Founder - KNOWS BETTER. 😊 Let go if something takes too long and let Universe do work for you! 🥳
There were 2 companies, which contacted me super fast with hiring managers interview phone calls, which went very well but the process of recruiting was slow (big companies). There was also a positive outcome by networking event open for me but due to the present situation was put on hold. In mid-time a very high level of professionalism recruiter found me on LinkedIn, call me immediately with an email with descriptions. All process took 7 working days from phone call to confirmed career offer with my weekend away in mid-time (4 days, why not to take a break from it 😎). Altogether from finishing the Job Preparation course, it took less than 3 weeks in a career search after graduation at a very easy, relaxed phase. I could start earlier but I needed to finish some projects and get into New Chapter, New Begining, go shopping etc 🙂. I and my boss established a date of start together on mutual agreement, New Moon, 24th of March as we both are into those type of stuff, which is even cooler. 😁 I also suggested or more even required to hire Junior Developer as part of the Dublin team. The great guy was chosen who click with us, similar mindset and interests count so much and we all started at New Moon. I am there for 9 days feels like we know each other for months and we did a lot.😊

I enjoyed interacting with other students and alumni through slack and have made friends through the course as well.
My advice: be prepared to put in the work and then additional work after you complete the course. Networking is essential. Be open to feedback and apply it. Use all the CareerFoundry resources to your advantage while you are in the course (and after). UX Design is very hard field to break into but the CareerFoundry program gave me the design training, resources and job preparation/career advice to get an awesome entry level UX job (far better than I imagined was possible for me). CareerFoundry is worth the investment. It changed my life and I am so thankful and excited about my new career!!! - AmandaStudent • UX Design Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInFeb 26, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Great course!
My experience with career foundry has been great! One reason I decided to take the UX design course with them is because of the good communication and extra help from mentors. There's also a strong sense of community.
