    UX Design with Allison Yaeger and CareerFoundry

    Great course and worth every penny! Allison was a fantastic tutor who was very informative and thorough in evaluation of my work and in catch ups. The syllabus was extensive and touched on all the key elements of User Research. Using what I learnt from the course I was able to turn an internship into a full time position, changing all the UX processes in the agency. 

    Despite the course being advertsied as a UX Design course it was great to have some exposure to some UI in the la...

    CF employee NOT student.

    The coursework as other said is dated 7yrs to be exact. That would not be a problematic for me if course material was more comprehensive. Mixed responses from tutors and mentors regard how much deviation from CF coursework required to understand coding. I would review "CF lessons"till I was blue in the face with no clarification for why they used stringify for chart rendering in meetup app project. Even React documentation (Facebook) does not recommend this approach. Tutors seem to have ...

    Transformative, Practical, Supportive Learning

     CareerFoundry’s Data Analytics program exceeded all my expectations. The curriculum is incredibly well-structured and designed to take you from zero to job-ready in a clear, supportive way. The hands-on projects gave me the chance to apply what I was learning in real-world scenarios, which helped everything click. The platform is user-friendly, and having a dedicated mentor and tutor meant I was never stuck or left guessing. I especially loved how much SQL and Tableau were emphasized—th...

    “CareerFoundry: Great Course with Strong Support”

    I’m currently taking CareerFoundry’s Data Analytics course, and it’s been a great experience so far. The curriculum is well-structured, covering Excel, SQL, Python, and Tableau with hands-on projects. The mentor and tutor support are super helpful, though you need to stay self-motivated to keep up. Great for beginners!

    Decent.. but dated

    So far the experience of the Data Analytics course has been pretty positive and I have learnt a lot on the course that I did not previously know, and I am someone that works within a data related field.  The content is pretty good but can be confusing and some things are not explained very well. Also some of the links are broken because they link to old articles that must have been taken down.

    I learned so much from the UI Immersion Bootcamp! The content was organised and broken down so well, and I love that I got to apply my learnings to different projects and have a portfolio by the end. I loved that there was a mentor and tutor to review my work after each assignment so I could ask questions and understand if I was on the right track. The structure of the course held me accountable to complete all the work, which was very helpful too. Would definitely recommend this course ...

    I am a CareerFoundry's Full-Stack Web Development course student since October 2024.

    I've had a great experience!

    I'm about 1/4 of the way through my UX Design course, and I love it so far! My tutor and my mentor are very kind and encouraging, and always get back to me in the allotted time. The course itself is a good level challenge, with some creative projects and some more technical work. My advice is to stay positive and chip away at it at a nice pace. It's a lot of information and it's good to digest it!

    Data Analytics Program

    I have rather enjoyed much of the course. Even though I'm a full time employee at a hospital, married, and have a two year old I've been able to make it work due to their flexibility. Only thing I really found was a pain point was when we had to use large datasets that my computer couldn't handle it. It would bring my machine to a crawl after ever minor change. Which mind you I have a rather beefy system to do my IT job. Not sure if maybe there is a way to use smaller sets, provide virtu...

    I completed CareerFoundry’s UX program in March 2024, but despite applying to hundreds of positions since then, I have not gotten a single interview. Following the program, I sought feedback from an experienced design professional, only to discover that my portfolio was considered below industry standards—even though it had been approved by CareerFoundry mentors.

    Hello Sedale,


    Thank you for your review. We’re sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations. However, we’d like to take this opportunity to clarify some important points to ensure transparency and fairness.

    As clearly outlined in the terms and conditions, our job guarantee specifies that to process any refund request, we require proof of job applications, networking outreach, and informational interviews. Unfortunately, despite multiple communications, the necessary documentation has not been provided. As a result, we are unable to proceed with your refund. This requirement was clearly explained in the email sent to you on the day you completed your program. To remain fair to all students, we cannot make exceptions without the required proof.

    We also acknowledge your concerns about mentorship and scheduling. While we understand that scheduling challenges can arise, it’s important to note that regular check-ins via email and messages, in addition to mentor calls, were expected. Your work was thoroughly reviewed and met all course requirements, and we believe you were provided with the support needed to progress. 

    Regarding a phone call, it’s important to clarify that we prioritize support for all students. While our team works hard to balance numerous requests, we always offer email and chat support to address concerns promptly.

    While we understand your disappointment, we must adhere to our policies to ensure fairness for all students. If you’re able to provide the required documentation, we’d be happy to re-evaluate your refund request.
    We truly wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

    Best regards,
    Your CareerFoundry Team
