    Amazing experience

    I stepped out of my comfort zone and signed up for CareerFoundry not knowing what to expect. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

    The course work, tutors, mentor, and student advisors made me feel supported and equipped. I highly recommend CareerFoundry!

    The Robin to my inner Batman

    Just recently I graduated from CFs UX Design course and found myself surprisingly melancholic when it ended. My experience at CF was challenging. Learning independently became a struggle around 60% of the course. The openness my tutor, mentor and everyone in the many slack channels showed, encouraged me to share my fears, recieve help and get through the toughest moments. The work needs to be done well, there is no way around it when learning a new craft. Yet, the environment can influen...

    Highly Recommend CareerFoundy

    I've taken other Bootcamps and CareerFoundry is by far the BEST!

    I'm currently taking the UX design course and I'm highly impressed with how organized their curriculum is. It was also designed to keep you on track. After every lesson, you are assigned a task that is reviewed by your mentor who in return gives you generous feedback. 

    Trust me their feedback is NOT generic. You really get valuable feedback that tests your understanding of the lessons. 

    Now, what I love...

    Data Analytics Review!

    I've done my research on boot camps in the US to overseas, and the CareerFoundry team gave me the confidence to enroll in the data analytics program, from the start of CareerFoundry representative to help me to pay for the program. The tutors are really helpful and always give feedback to improve your work. I haven't seen that with any other boot camp. I made the right choice for my career and I really proud of what skills I will be achieving after the course finishes.

    Intro to Data Analytics

    Great intro to basic concepts - tasks build on each other in a logical way and material is presented clearly - Excel heavy, which is fine as there really isn't any time to get into any other programs.

    The guides are nice, and sometimes a little bit densed. Maybe more video tutorials would be awesome! Screen recordings really help a lot, but there are not in some exercises and with those some doubts are easier to clear.

    UI Designer/Program

    The program is great and very flexable. I like the fact that you get to work at your own pace because although I am in the program I also have 2 part time jobs. Other programs did not offer this. I also like the fact that you always reach out to your personal mentor or tutor for help and feedback. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn and get a career in UX or UI.

    Since before I even enrolled, the entire CareerFoundry staff and community have been incredibly communicative, professional and supportive. Their mentor model has allowed me to feel supported as I undergo this career shift and helped me hone in on what I bring to the table in this developing industry. I could not be happier with my choice.

    Im currently a full time student for the UI design course and so far it's been going great! My tutor and mentor are always willing to help and wants the best for me when to my portfolio. My only critique is for the UI design course I would like to see more information in video format. Other than that, the course is giving me  more confidence in my skills to transition into the UI/UX field.

    A great user experience!

    I'm taking UI design course on CareerFoundry. I'm very happy that I made the right decision to expand my career.

    It has been a great user experience in my study since the course is well organised, and all information is carefully represented. I never felt lost, which unfortunately happened to me when I took another online course from a different school.

    I like my tutor and mentor and its system. They encourage me a lot and give me helpful insight to improve my design.

    Changing careers, best decision of my life!

    The pandemic gave me the chance to stop and think where I was heading with my professional life. UX design was something that had always fascinated me, but I had never pictured myself in the tech world. Unhappy and stuck, I did lots of research and CareerFoundry seemed to be the best option to take the leap into this new world.

    Deb's review

    I am reviewing the experience I am having so far at the CareerFoundry Bootcamp, UX Design,  full time.

    So far I have mixed feelings since I hoped that I will never have to change the tutor or the mentor, but exactly that was the case.

    Starting from reviewing the beginning, the Intro course, I felt like it was a bit overwhelming, the tasks and the deadline. It feels like you get thrown in the cold water but in the end if you are focused and dedicated enough, it is doable. It...

    Best choice

    I'm very satisfied about this course (UX designer).
     When I started I had no experience in the field. 
    I wanted to change my career path and it was the best choice.

    I like the learning by doing approach, I'm actually learning a lot.

    My mentor is super nice and very helpful. 

    I can't wait to start my first job in the UC field!
