    Career Foundry is the best in market

    I am a UX designer who decided to upskill myself when I moved to the US. I was always interested in the Voice Design industry and wanted to learn professionally. From what I know, Career Foundry is the only boot-camp platform that has a Voice Design course. They are transparent and list out all the details like fees, duration, start date, and syllabus right on their website. There are no hidden costs or terms and conditions. The course is designed in a way that is easy to understand and ...

    Incredibly supportive, professional community!

    I couldn’t recommend CF more! From start to (almost in my case!) finish, each advisor, tutor and mentor I’ve been in contact with has been incredibly eager to support me in my career change. Full of enthusiasm and always ready to support you, it makes such a feat a lot less intimidating. As for content: bite-sized break-up of content that is clear, easily-digestible, accessible and comes with a variety of added, optional resources you can always bookmark and return to. I love that you ca...

    Data Analytics Program

    This program is a good option if you want to change careers and feel lost into where to start your learning journey. I felt overwhelmed by all the online resources, and this program gave me a sense of orientation and discipline. I like the flexibility of the program as it is impossible for me to attend online classes at a fixed schedule. As well, the tutor that I had was very informative and share with me valuable resources to make my learning easier. The Job prep course was one the best...

    Maybe one of the best courses around?

    UX Design course at CareerFoundry is probably the most self comprehensive course there is out there in UX design. Out of 4 courses they offer (UX design, UI Design, Data Analytics, and Web Development), UX design is probably the longest. Yes, this is a bootcamp, with all the stigmas that bootcamp have attached to them due to their intensity. Yet, CareerFoundry does a great job at streamlining the learning process in digestible parts, that doesn't make it overwhelming for people with alre...

    Good, but keep improving!

    I'm in the new data analytics course and so far I'm glad I took it, because I wanted a new career, and until now it looks effective. I hope the money's worth it! ;D Can't say anything about the success rate for finding a job at this point as I'm just halfway into the course. As it's new I can totally understand that it needs some refining. The flaws which arise are taken out of the way pretty fast because you have so many people to talk to (e.g. mentor, tutor, student advisors, etc.)

    UX/UI Design Course

    I took and had a great experience with CareerFoundry's 10-month UX design course (UI specialization). The main pros are: in-depth, self-driven courses, mentorship throughout, you come out with 3-4 case studies under your belt, and an active student/alumni Slack community. One of the best things about the program is they set you up for career success with the optional job preparation course.

    Read a text and apply the newly acquired knowledge hands-on to your course project, that's the simple formula of this course. The texts are well-written and easy to understand. You have a tutor who gives you written feedback and a mentor helping you via video call with the bigger tasks. I've learned so much already, pretty amazing.

Prior to taking the course, I did not feel confident in my full-stack development skills, and now I feel SO much more experienced and have a ton of projects that I can show off!
