    Valuable, Thorough, Time-Effecient.

    CareerFoundry stuck out to me when researching Data Analytics courses. I spent many weeks carefully studying the website. The staff is AMAZING! I have an amazing tutor, amazing mentor and amazing student advisors. Whenever I have any doubt, or obstacle - I always feel heard and valued in their responses and solutions to me. 

    As a complete novice in the data analytics field - my confidence not only in working with data but within myself has dramatically risen.

    Amazing UX bootcamp!

    CareerFoundry's approach to UX education sets you up for success and is well worth the money. The learning material is all well written and one by one the assignments help you build your portfolio while teaching you how to problem solve in the field of UX. I love my mentor because he always gives valuable feedback and is a great support system!

    Career Foundry

    I’m currently in the Immersion portion of the UX Design certificate program. My tutor and mentor are very helpful and provide me with feedback in less than 24 hours. 

    Throughout the course you are completing one large project, but can take the tools that you learning towards other case studies so that you have a full portfolio. I do wish that we had two complete projects in the end. 

    I’m looking forward to completing this program!

The course is constantly iterated, too, so improvements are made based on the changing dy...

    I chose CareerFoundry over some other options because of the support staff, Mentor, Tutor, Advisors. They've been accessible, a wealth of information, and very encouraging and understanding. It's easy to move through the program as well. It's well thought out and easy to move through. It's offering what I need to feel confident transitioning to this new career and starting my job search. So far, I'm pleased with my choice and would recommend to friends.

    UI IMMERSION PROGRAM

    I already have a design background and degree and soo excited about this program. I did enjoy the UI program itself and completed it in January 2022. Unfortunately, if you hope to find a job after this program (intern or entry-level), it's not as easy as they make it out to be and after being told how good my work is and I won't have any issues finding a role in this field.

    I’m about 3 months into my UI course with CareerFoundry and I must say it is an excellent program that can be done by many people regardless of skill or previous experience. The platform is simple to use, the instructions are clear and detailed, and my tutor and mentor have helped me every step of the way. I have only had 1 issue regarding my mentoring, but it was resolved in a timely manner by my student advisors. I can confidently recommend this course to anyone looking to enter the de...

    In depth Course

    The course has been fully in depth into each step of the UX design process and UX design career as a whole. Having the mentors each step of the way has been a nice tool and good practice. The course gives you all the tools to learn UX design but it is on you to learn new softwares and eventually build your profile up enough to show to potential employers. I haven’t finished the course fully just yet but so far I’ve enjoyed it!

    Really enjoying it!

    I'm a little under half-way into my Careerfoundry UI design course. I had some experience in illustration beforehand but none in UI design and I'm finding it a fantastic and informative learning experience. I love being able to go at my own pace and my mentor and tutor are incredibly helpful. My calls with my mentor in particular keep me motivated and give me confidence in my ability to get a job after this course. I haven't started the job prep course yet but I will soon!

    Hi. The level of support I am receiving from CareerFoundry has been great. The community and peers are wonderful. The mentors and tutors are top-notch as well! The thing is sometimes the coursework does not match the tasks itself. I'm only talking about the UX Immersion part of it. I don't think many programs will be perfect, but I think CareerFoundry hires great mentors for the students to feel confident in applying to jobs.

    It’s just been two months into the course  and I must say it has far exceeded my expectations. The content is so engaging and resourceful. We get a lot of support, direction and motivation from our teacher as well as mentor. Also the student advisors are always available in case of any concerns that we might have.The flexibility in the schedule is a boon especially for busy moms like myself.
