    Good, but can be better

     I am currently taking a CareerFoundry UX design course. I am happy that we have tutors and mentors who review our work and answer our questions. It’s good that the course provides tasks after each reading material. These tasks helped me learn and progress. However, the reading information isn’t great, and I have to do a lot of extra reading. Sometimes the task doesn’t include the information I need for the task. Also, I think the structure of these tasks could be better; I feel frustrat...

    Full stack web development

    The course itself is intensive and covers full stack, which is perfect for me. I’m haven’t decided if I want to do full stack, front end or back end and this gives me the chance to cover all my bases. 
    I have come across some communication issues with my tutor and sometimes wonders if he really checks my work, however my mentor has been incredible. I find our Skype meetings extremely productive, motivating and overall helpful. I would recommend this school to friends and family.

    Data Analytics

    Course is very clear and straightforward. Mentor and turor are very helpful. A lot of tools for the students to plan and succeed. Very flexible too.

    But you need Microsoft Office if you don't want to use the Google spreadsheet.

    I have been taking the Data Analytics course from Careerfoundry since January 2022. Lessons are very effective, helpful, and intensively prepared. One of the pros that I like about this course is that the communication between students and tutors/mentors is very fast and productive.

My mentor and tutor have been incredibly helpful and provide me with lots of extra reading material that can help me along. The course is very detailed and explains things in an efficient manner.  It introduces you to popular industry tools and programs. The slack community is very positive and you met loads of amazing people. It’s great for networking! So far loving it!

    I have truly enjoyed my experience with Career Foundry as a career changer! My tutor and mentor have been essential in my success so far and the trust I have already with them just helps me to know that I can make mistakes and learn from them here while I'm in the course. I think the overall education that Career Foundry is supporting through this UX design program is a great place to start so that I can continue my learning and advancement after I've graduated.

    I love the learning by doing and knowing by experience!

    I am at this moment halfway to completing the full-time UI Design Course.
    I love how the themes are structured, main subjects are broken down into smaller pieces of information for a better understanding and assimilation. Along with the reading, there are always great resources to keep enriching the information provided. At the end of each class, there is a Task that is part of a project that the student is building up.

    The course is really well structured and interesting. It feels good to work on a real project and see it growing :) I started from zero but I can see I'm doing a lot of progress. 
    Communication with mentor and tutor could be better, there could be for sure better standards, but you can contact the student service center and they might change tutor or mentor in some cases.
