    CareerFoundry is great

    I'm currently enrolled in CareerFoundry's full stack web development program. 
    All of the learning is on-demand, and you are provided a tutor to review daily tasks and a mentor to review projects and have regular Skype calls with. 
    The program is time flexible, so you can work whenever and how many hours you want at any pace with internet connection you want. What is the biggest plus for me. 
    I'm just half-way through the course, so I haven't yet started my job search, so I can ...

    UX Design Program

    The platform which Career Foundry is providing is amazing for people like me who don't have any background or knowledge of this field. I am really enjoying the course material and the tasks. The tutor and mentor always help you and guide you whenever you need them. Also my experience with student advisors is amazing as they will help you in every possible ways. I would definitely recommend this course to someone who is looking for a career change or wants to become a UX Designer.

    UX Design

    The course is separated into two modules, Intro to UX and UX Immersion Course. I'm now almost through half of the UX Immersion Course and my experience is so far great! The two things I like the most are the flexibility to work on my own schedule, but of course respecting the deadlines, and the support from the tutor and mentor. Even though is an online course, you receive actual feedback and personalized mentoring.
    I truly recommend this course, especially if you are able to have you...

Self-paced and fully remote, this has been the best choice for me, as I can still work while completing my program. My tutor has proved to be very helpful, so that I always feel that I have support.

    UX Design Program Review

    The UX Design Program is a great way to learn the process of UX design! The material is very in-depth and very applicable to what I would be doing in this field. The mentors and tutors are very professional and are quick to offer help. Getting help from people that are already working in UX design is very beneficial. The only thing I would change or suggest is adding some more details to the expectations for the tasks at the end of the exercises. Sometimes, how to get to the objectives o...

    Data Analytics

    This course begins with a 4 week intro course as an intro to analytics, then dives into a 55-task immersion course. I am closing in on the halfway mark, and have been very impressed so far. The lessons are broken into manageable pieces and I feel very competent in each subject once I finish a section. I am nearing the end of the Tableau work (10 exercises) and I feel confident I could make a Tableau dashboard in a professional environment. My mentor and tutor provided have also been grea...

    Top-notch UX Design Experience

    Although the course is super intense and demanding (and I honestly mean it), I consider it one of the best educational choices I have made. I tried some other UX courses in the past; however, they all missed one thing: STRUCTURE. 

    The amount of support you receive in order to succeed is enormous, and I am saying this as a newbie in the field. I appreciate the information and the instructions delivered and the proficiency and friendliness of my tutor, mentor, and the entire CF comm...
