    It's been a life-changing experience!

    I've been enrolled with CareerFoundry for the last three months, and it's been a life-changing experience. I've wanted to make a career change for years, but time and financial constraints have always held me back. I'm so glad I decided to take the plunge with CareerFoundry. Their curriculum, support, guidance, and resources have given me such confidence in what I do now and what I hope to do in the future as a designer. I can't wait to see what the future holds!

    Good support from tutor and mentor

    The course is comprehensive. It is laid out in a way that helps a newbie like me build a foundation and eventually become a pro with practice and hands-on coursework. The best part is my tutor Leon who goes through your homework in detail. The mentor is also helpful until he left the company mid-way, and I had to start the mentorship with another person. There is a slack support network which is good when I have questions and need help doing research and testing. One thing I would pick o...

    Very informative & fun!

    Careerfoundry course hasn't felt like a bootcamp. It is really good information and the courses are fun and interactive making it easy to want to learn! When I first started the course I was unsure if I would be comfortable doing this course online and sort of "self taught" but with the support of my tutor, mentor and other student, I have adjusted and really do enjoy the program! I get excited to work on my tasks, submit them and hear back from my tutor with his opinions! I also love th...

    A practical, self-guided and tutor-supported virtual course

     Even though I have already worked with data and developed Power BI dashboards, the course is valuable since visualization is an integral part of the Data Analytics process, but you need to execute other steps, previously and after.
    ·        It is appropriate for someone who is not an expert in Excel. A specific module is dedicated to it, and you will learn how to make grouping and summarizations (among other valuable functionalities).
    ·        It indeed provides you with the basic...

    The part I like the most about the curriculum is that it’s very straightforward and doesn’t have a lot of unnecessary fluff. I really like that there is a suggested task time so I can better plan my week.

    Great Program for Beginners

    I came into this program with little knowledge about UX Design and I can say that I've learned so much from this bootcamp already. I'm 75% done and I find it valuable that this bootcamp is self-paced as I have a job on the side. This course does a great job with lectures, providing real-life examples, and useful resources. I especially find it valuable that there is a tutor and mentor assigned to students from the start to the end.

    The Full-Stack Web Development Program is great for beginners and people with no prior knowledge or experience with coding. I have learned so much within the past few months, and my tutor/mentor have been very helpful throughout the process. I love that the course is completely self-paced, which is great for people that need the flexibility and a program that can accommodate their schedule.

    Worth the Investment!

    I did a lot of research into various boot camps before deciding to enroll in CareerFoundry. What I really value as a student is how the coursework is laid out: not overwhelming, spaced out property, and builds on itself. I started with limited UX knowledge and the lessons started out with very basic (yet helpful) information. Then it gradually dived deep into UX. I never felt lost nor overwhelmed. My tutor is fantastic and provided quick feedback on my assignments. My mentor has provided...

    UX Immersive Bootcamp Review

    I have thoroughly enjoyed my UX bootcamp through CareerFoundry. I was paired with a mentor who had 20+ years of experience in the field, and she provided invaluable feedback on my projects. After finishing my program, I feel that I am well-prepared for a career in UX. The UI specialization has deepened my skills and better prepared my portfolio. The CF Slack community is also very helpful and there are many job opportunities posted as well!

    Data Analist - Honest review

    I am near graduation in this Bootcamp. Honestly, to say, I am very disappointed. Of course, not everything is too bad, so I will also list the advantages of doing this course.
    - The curriculum for Data Analyst is well beyond the standard. You do not learn even the basics of Statistics. Regarding learning the core course, they do not focus on teaching you algorithms - essential for learning programming languages, like Python and SQL. You need to teach yourself on another website to lea...

    Full-Stack Web Development

    I have completed half of the course and I am not satisfied. Although the subject is difficult and requires a lot of study, I feel that through YouTube tutorials I am able to understand better. It is a lot of money that one invests in the program to be constantly requiring external sources to understand the subject matter. I don't think that at the end of this program I will be prepared to find a job with the skills I have gained. At least from my personal experience, this is not the best...

    A great Full Stack Web Dev course!

    CareerFoundry's Full Stack Web Dev course is well thought-out and walks you through understanding and utilizing some of the popular and in-demand technologies. The lessons do need to be updated a slight bit to adjust to the changes in more recent updates to said technologies, but they give you a good feel for each of them regardless. But what I appreciate the most is the amount of support you get from the mentor and tutor they assign to you. If you get stuck, you can always reach out to ...
