    CareerFoundry was the most PERFECT choice for me!

    Quitting my stable job to do a boot camp for web development was not an easy choice so I definitely took my time researching the right boot camp. Honestly, I have not regretted choosing CareerFoundry ever since I joined. I was so lucky to have been paired with such an amazing mentor who LOVES to teach, and that’s really hard to find sometimes. I also got lucky with my tutor who’s always available to help even though I know he’s also busy with his own life and other students, but he alway...

    Web Development Track

    Learning with CareerFoundry was one of the best choices I have ever made. It helps you get to experience with HTML, CSS, and JS which are the three essentials to build websites. If you are willing to put in some hours, then CF is undoubtedly the best option for you.

    Overall Pleased

    CareerFoundry's online program is great for me because I can structured my time as I like it. I like that I'm learning by doing and that I will have 3 projects for my portfolio at the end of the program. Even though I don't have access to its Job Preparation Course yet (You have access to it upon 50% completion of your main program.), I'm impressed with the career specialist with whom I've interacted so far.

    Awesome course :)

    I am halfway through CareerFoundry's UX course, and my experience couldn't have been better! The curriculum is well-designed, so even career changers like me can follow it, and having 2 experts in the field helping me along the way is super helpful and supportive. Student support is excellent, with attentive student advisors I can reach out to no matter what the issue. I highly recommend this course to anyone getting started in UX :)

    Data Analysis Course

    I'm currently about 3 months into the Data Analysis course through CareerFoundry. I work full time and have two children, so flexibility was important for me in searching for the correct program.

    The data analytics program is designed to introduce and provide the student with the mindset and skills to effectively conduct and communicate data analyses processes to relevant stakeholders.  I have found the course materials to be relatively straightforward and easy to follow. My specific circumstances give me the ability to commit 6-8 hours per day to the program, which allowed me to move through the introduction to data analytics program fairly quickly.  At this stage I am progressi...

    The course offers a very good overview and comprehensive deep dive into the world of UX design. Each section gives you the material needed to succeed in that particular area, with a quiz and task to be completed at the end.  While having to complete a task may seem overwhelming at first, these requirements are segmented in such a  way as to help with the overall picture and retention of what was just learned as well as allow you to piece together your portfolio at the end in a seamless m...

    This course has been great in helping me find a new direction for my career. Each fundamental and exercise is clearly explained, so you can incrementally get comfortable with the field.

    CareerFoundry have really shined when connecting me with my mentor. His experience has helped me grow a lot and made me feel a lot more confident entering then world of UX design.

    The course is in depth and you’ll learn a tremendous amount of UX, the course itself is broken down into many tasks, my goal everyday is “complete one task” and I’m getting through it rather quickly now.

    Good curriculum, but total lack of support

    I signed up for the Full Stack Web Development program as I already graduated from CF UI Design program with great experiences (though no job in the end).

    I have to say, although their design program is worth it, the development one is just the opposite. First of all, there is a great distinction in CF team behavior to you depending on if you pay on your own versus if your course is paid by unemployment agency. When I was paying on my own, the team was cordial and I managed to cha...

I had no appropriate skills and decided to join the CareerFoundry UX design course. The course program was very profound, lectures are understandable and my mentor was always ready to help. But in the middle of the course, I realized that it is not the career of my dreams. I realized that I prefer working with p...
