    Really Great so Far

    The CareerFoundry Data Analytics course has been a great decision for me. With all the resources available on the internet I was skeptical about paying for a bootcamp, but the combination of the sensibly structured curriculum, frequent projects to test for understanding, graded by real tutors and mentors; I feel like I'm laying a firm foundation for a career change.

    Awesome!

    I have almost completed career foundry’s UI design bootcamp, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The program was not only well-structured but also led by knowledgeable and supportive instructors. I was impressed by the up-to-date curriculum that covered the latest industry trends and tools. The hands-on projects allowed me to apply what I learned and build a strong portfolio. The bootcamp also fostered a sense of community, with fellow students and mentors always willing to he...

    Best course ever! ✨

    Before embarking on my career change, I conducted extensive research on available courses to ensure I made an informed decision. While I tried a few online courses, none quite compared to my experience with CareerFoundry. What initially drew me in was their offering of small, free courses, which allowed me to confirm if UX UI design was the right path for me before committing to a substantial course fee. After reading their website and reviews and completing these free courses, I was con...

    Challenging and Rewarding

    My experience has been challenging, mainly because I am new to the world of UI/UX design. I have been extremely lucky to have been paired up with an AMAZING tutor and mentor. The student advisor team is quick to help with any issues and has shown so much kindness. I only wish the lessons would have been like the videos that were presented during the free bootcamp that I had taken before signing up. However, this has been a great process!

    A Perfect Blend of Theory and Practice

    I'm really enjoying my journey through this data analytics program. What sets this course apart for me is its well-structured, text-based format. There's no need to invest a ton of time in video content; instead, the written curriculum is comprehensive and to the point.

    What I find most rewarding is the program's hands-on approach in every lesson. After delving into the theoretical aspects, I get to apply what I've learned right away through practical exercises. This seamless tran...

    Career Foundry - Data Analytics

    I have been really enjoying the boot camp! I am utilizing Career Foundry's boot camp, YouTube tutorials, and self teaching via learning courses.  While I am learning things through other methods just fine, I really would have experienced issues with staying on track and focusing in general without Career Foundry's course design.  The structure it provides gives my self learning a very supportive backbone and direction.  Most invaluable though, is the access to a mentor.  I find that I ca...

    Overall, I like the system and curriculum of the career foundation. However, one regrettable thing is that there is no data in video or audio. If you have video or audio material that reads or shows all the lessons, you can listen to them while walking, driving, or exercising, which will be more convenient for users.
