    Full-Stack Web Dev

    6 Month of Full-Stack Web Developer training. Very nice supportive tutors and mentors. The Programm is nice but also very tough to get into if have no experience about the topic before. You really need to do a lot of studying and practicing the content. Overall it is very challenging but it is setting a good start for a future career in IT.

    Take IT career to another leve

    Before attending Careerist I wasn't quite sure how to take my IT career to another level. During those 11 weeks of the immersive program, I received the tools and fast-paced skills to be a great QA Automation Engineer. I can confidently say that I am no longer just a tester. I can now master Automation, l use the popular language Python and I am an in-demand QA Engineer.

    UX Design Program

    CareerFoundry helped me to deepen my knowledge about UX and finally start my own projects and my portfolio. For me, it was fine to do the course part-time, but I probably would recommend doing it full-time. I think that will help you to have the whole learning experience because I didn't have that much time doing bonus tasks or browsing through the resources of the chapters.

    UX design: Highly recommended

    I began my UX design course at CareerFoundry four months ago. I'm quite pleased with my decision. The course is well-structured, and the projects and activities are highly practical. The tutors and mentors are quite competent, and I feel extremely well supported. As you build your portfolio throughout the course, you will be ready to apply for jobs at the end. I haven't started the job preparation course yet, so I can't provide an evaluation of that part.

    Wonderful Mentorship

    I really enjoyed the first part of the course, and my tutor and mentor really care about me; they give really great feedback and we have rapport. I think that I will eventually learn all the programs I need to get a job, and the staff at CareerFoundry make sure that I know what is expected of me in order to get a job by the end of the course. I am very grateful and would recommend this course to anybody interested in UX.

    Good Camp for Flexible-time Learners

    The course is well designed for the learner who need to work and learn side by side, while it still has a process to constrain  learning pace to encourage finishing the course on time. The curriculum is practical and elaborate. Tutor and mentor are helpful!

    I am so glad to be in the CF UX program. My mentor and tutor are wonderful and I am confident they are helping me to learn what I need to. I am constantly challenged to do better and take every opportunity to learn what I can. I think this human touch is what sets CF apart from other programs.

    Intro to UX is a fantastic investment. It provides structure to a broad, evolving career field and makes it easy to gain valuable skills. The course provides a series of lessons and corresponding tasks that help students gain hands-on experience researching and designing an app. While there are some leaps between lessons, the course provides ample resources to help you fill in all the blanks and create something to be proud of.

    UX Design Program Review

    I am currently a student at Career Foundry in the UX Design Program. The program is well structured providing you with a lot of content and external resources to expand on the topic you are on. It is project based and is designed to take you through the various phases of UCD where each exercise will build upon the previous one to the completion of a final project. Reviews are quite prompted and the tutor and mentor are very available in my experience. (This may vary depending on who is a...

    Great School for Remote Learning

    I've been doing the UX Design programme with CareerFoundry for six months and it's been great so far. I'd say their main strength lies on the human factor, as you are assigned a personal tutor, a personal mentor and a personal career mentor that help you develop your skills as you go along with the course content. Additionally, the Student Advisors are always available to help with any questions and are very active promoting additional resources, such as the school's Slack channel, onboa...

    UX Design Course

    Overall, Career Foundry has been quite an amazing boot camp. It’s project based so you are constantly practicing what you learn from the reading prompts, which helps everything stick in your mind. Additionally, there are no tests or scores- you just keep refining and submitting an assignment until your tutor approves it. Having a mentor who has direct industry experience is probably the most valuable part of Career Foundry. They are able to fill in the learning gaps and teach you how to ...

    UI Immersion

    It's a great course. I'm learning a lot - although I would be happy if my tutor and the course materials always said the same thing. The course sometimes doesn't give me the information I need or want. Sometimes information is left out. The way I see it is this: if I have to look at other students' work in order to complete a task, then there's a problem. Looking at other students' work should be optional and it shouldn't have to substitute course material that is not clear or easy to un...

    Great break into Tech-related careers

    I started with CF when I decided to switch careers from Music into Tech. I had ZERO prior experience, and so far, CF is a great break into learning programming and the necessary skills to land a job at the end of the course. I was beyond grateful for the help of the student advisors (working with financial aid), course planning, and mentor support. Additionally, the peer Slack community is a fantastic support system for a newbie like me.
