    Challenging but rewarding

    After completing the Full Stack Web Development program and sharing my portfolio with a few people that I personally know in software, I'm confident that I am ready to start my career in the tech industry. Their approach of learning by doing is perfect for me. I started off struggling with javascript, mainly functions, but by the end of the course it was like adding 2 plus 2. My tutor John has made me so confident now in troubleshooting my own code, something that was very daunting at fi...

    Too repetitive but useful

    After a while I get tired of reading so much, I wish you had more videos. I also don’t get the point of mentors besides reviewing projects. I understand that they’re about “the bigger picture” but I actually don’t know what to ask them about

    Super supportive and great teaching

    I’ve found that Career Foundry is all round so supportive. They answer my questions within 24 hours each time and have given me all the advice and support I could need. Resources are abundant and every little thing you could be curious about is answered and if not, given an article to where it’s answered. I’m having a great time learning from this course. I’m taking the UI/UX course and couldn’t recommend it enough.

    Engaging UX Design Student Experience

    I'm halfway through CareerFoundry's UX Immersion section and thoroughly impressed with the well-structured and comprehensive curriculum. The deep dives into practical design skills like user research, wire-framing, and prototyping have been incredibly enriching. The hands-on projects and personalised mentor feedback have helped me solidify concepts in a real-world context. While the pace can be challenging, especially while juggling other commitments, it's manageable and keeps me engaged...

    Learning a lot!

    I've been learning a ton from the CareerFoundry Full-Stack course. I've only been at it for a few months, and I already feel comfortable with basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, even though I had VERY little experience before I started. The tutors and mentors give great feedback, and I love that I can study at my own pace.

    Honestly, I think college and university should be structured this way.  You apply what you learn after each lesson to create a portfolio to be able to present on future job applications.  Lots of support available not only for what you’re learning but also during your career search. I would highly recommend careerfoundry.  I wish I did it sooner!

    Growth at own pace

    I liked that I could move at my own pace with this course. There were some sections that I needed to spend more time on and there were moments when I needed to take a personal break. My first tutor fell behind on reviewing my tasks which set me back a bit, but CareerFoundry assigned me a new tutor right away after I contacted them. Second tutor, mentor, and career specialist were attentive and helpful. They made this process so much easier and were very uplifting. There are a lot of reso...

    Worth investing in a course vs. wasting time trying to create a curriculum myself! Enjoying being a part of the CF community and meeting people in the field.

They are supportive, challenging, and genuinely care about your growth and success as a student and in our career ahead of you.
