    Challenging and informative

    Classes are very informative and easy to follow.  Assignments are challenging but tutor/mentor are helpful when assistance is needed.  Examples and videos throughout the course are great and helpful in explaining what is needed and required to learn the topic that is being taught. For my personal preference the flexibility of classes are the greatest perk of the course.

    Career foundry

    I think career foundry is amazing.
    Before I tried to study in deferent sites and nothing compares to Career foundry. My tutor and mentor have been exceptional and supportive all the time. They do not miss a detail and the feedback is always encouraging. The content is also impressive and puts all the information straight away into practice with real live scenarios. I have really enjoyed it <3

    Well structured course with great mentor support

    I enjoyed the structure of the course plus the timely and encouraging tutor support. Weekly Mentor calls were so eye-opening in picturing the perspective of the pathway, and also getting answers from someone who has already experienced working in this field was really helpful. It would be great if all the material in the course were prepared in a video format rather than text to simulate the physical class.

    UX Design course with Career Foundry is the best decision I've made!

    I would highly recommend the UX Design course with Career Foundry. Not only in the course interesting and engage the support you receive from the tutors, mentors and student advisors is amazing. I feel more supported and encouraged by the team than I did when studying my degree at university! Even though it's 100% online learning I feel well connected to other students and have not felt alone. I've felt stuck in my career for a while and wasn't sure how to change things, it was making me...

    Careerfoundry review

    So far, my tutor as being very supportive, responsive and encouraging. Although I have never being through this kindly of program before, I am really gaining a lot from it. The mentorship is so great as well and that was why I actually signed up for the program. The icing on the program for me is the job preparation course. Although it seem quite stressful combining all these courses right now, I know it will be of great benefit for me in future.

    I'm very impressed with the data analytics course. The mentors and tutors are very helpful and prompt. I feel I will be prepared for a job position once I am competed. The mentor calls help me understand course material and how to apply it in a real world setting.  I also can ask my tutor questions regarding the course martial and can expect a prompt response. Both individuals  are encouraging and keep me abreast on my progress.

From the start of the course I felt incredibly supported by my tutor and mentor who were always available when I needed clarity surrounding the material I was being presented. Further, this is a major career change for me, but the material is very easy to comprehend.

    Great UX Design bootcamp

    I really enjoy my UX Design program with CareerFoundry. The curriculum is great and it is really fun to learn, since you are taking what you learn and practice it in a task right away. I was afraid, that it is mostly reading but the combination really pleasantly surprised me. The Student Advisors are super nice and fast with their replies in case you have a question or concern. I highly recommend the program.

    This UX Design course has been a huge learning curve for me. I love that I am able to see my acheivements. My tutor is great and highly responsive. My mentor is very generous with the experience and advice that she shares with me. It all makes the intensity of this course a little bit less intense and a bit more fun!

    Learning a lot and enjoying it!

    I really like this course.  I am learning a lot and the lessons are full with extra links and resources if you want to know more about a subject.  My first tutor unfortunately was very slow about grading assignments, but after I logged two complains I was switched to a new grader who is quick and gives great feedback!  I especially love how the course is asynchronous and perfectly fits my schedule.

    Encouraging, involved, and interesting

    Career Foundry has surpassed my expectations. The method in which they teach is straight forward and encouraging. The support of my tutor and mentor has been beyond helpful, as well as suppor from other staff members! They send little emails that are encouraging, or informative, seemingly right when you need them. They also seem to be very current, which is important in a tech field.

    I'm enjoying the course so far. It's pretty easy to follow. You have a ton of resources that will help you through your course including your tutor, mentor, student advisors, slack channels with other fellow students, and career mentor towards the second half of the course. Comes with a job guarantee if you complete the job prep course within a certain time frame, what more can you ask for?

    CareerFoundry UI Design Course

    My program began in August and now I'm almost half way through. I'm completely new to UI Design with zero design background.
    I like that material  of each lesson is very well built and structured. After each lesson there are plenty of additional things to read and watch on the topic.
    The most important part in my opinion is that I, as a student, always have support of tutor and mentor. This is so valuable for me as for a person
    who is changing career and meets a lot of challenge...

    CareerFoundry's Product Management course covers a well curated set of topics which provides a comprehensive understanding of what would be expected in that role. PM is a quite new discipline / field, which can be confused with several related fields (e.g. UX Design, Project Management, Agile Experts), but the curriculum is structured around practical tasks in a project-based journey that helps to solidify the learning process.
