    Exceeds expectations

    I’ve been totally pleased with my experience at CareerFoundry. The curriculum is super clear and my tutor and mentor are responsive and GREAT instructors. It’s the best educational experience I’ve had yet (and I went to Princeton). My favorite thing about it is that I am challenged and am definitely mastering the material but I am not stressed because there are no exams.

    Don't fall for Job Guarantee and Not worth it if you're outside the US or Germany

    Read the small letter of the Job Guarantee, you're most likely not to get your money back. On one hand, the Career Specialist recommends being smart and searching for interesting jobs that will be fulfilling, yet, the small letter states that there's a min of 5 applications a week to apply, plus direct contacts and assistance to UX events. Networking outside of Germany or US is almost non-existent and the job offers inside their platform are mostly for these two countri...

    Enjoying learning UX Design!

    I am currently doing the UX Design Immersion course with CareerFoundry. I have been enjoying the programme so far and feeling that I am on track to be a UX Designer!

    What I like most about the programme is that the curriculum is very structured, breaking projects into small, more digestible chunks. It has enough theory, in the meantime very hands on and practical. The course contents are concise enough to learn overview of new topics, at the same time, there are plenty additional ...

    Strong foundations and good resources

    Quick rundown of where I am in the course: the UX Design program has an Intro, Immersion, Specialization and Job Prep (required for the job guarantee) course that is part of the entire curriculum. Right now, I've finished the Intro and Immersion course already and applying to internships, so I can't give you an accurate gauge on how well the course prepares you for a job, but I can say that the course teaches you very thoroughly the things you need to know, and the work you are asked to ...

    Informative and Thorough Courses

    This program has helped me so much! The tasks and achievements are so informative and are up to industry standards. I learnt how to use Figma and Adobe XD very easily thanks to instructions and tutorials I was provided with. I really feel like this course is equivalent to having a UI/UX degree with the amount that I learnt.

    Worth every penny - LOVE IT!

    I am studying the Data Analytics course with no prior exposure or experience in Tech and I have found the course to be so informative and easy to understand. Each student has access to a tutor (who you can bombard with as many questions if you don't understand a concept) and a mentor, who helps you prepare for the industry. The support and course curriculum is well-rounded and project based - making you as job ready as you'll ever need.

    I’m very satisfied with my experience in CareerFoundry’s Full-Stack Development bootcamp. I’m learning a lot!  My mentor, tutor, the advisors and other staff have been encouraging and helpful.  The curriculum does a great job of providing resources for all types of learners, like text, graphics, code examples, videos, practice projects, and real humans to reach out to.
    It’s a lot of new information, as a career changer, but I’m really happy with my decision to enroll with CF!
