    Deeply disappointed with this school.

    I am deeply disappointed with this school.

    On their website, they assure you that you will get all the support you need from both a tutor and a mentor but this is false.

    They tell you that your Tutor will review your assignments and send you revisions within 24 hours, during my course some assignments took days to be reviewed, thus delaying my process on the course and causing me a lot of stress because without some assignments being corrected you feel stuck and you cannot ...

    UX Immersion Review

    It's always a funny experience reading online reviews, but for what it's worth I gotta say I'm so happy I chose Career Foundry to guide me through the world of UX. At first, I was really apprehensive about enrolling in an online boot camp, I was worried I would feel anonymous and disconnected. As far as online programs go, I really feel supported. I have a great team of professionals (mentor, tutor & career specialist) who continuously encouraging and challenge me to become a better ...

    Nice format

    The format of the program works really well. You can truly go at your own pace as long as you stay consistent while moving through the program. Most of the necessary curriculum is covered well, but occasionally a lesson will just skim over something and they'll kind of expect you to have strong knowledge of it based on the little they provided.
    I'm lucky that I had previous design experience before starting the program, which made learning the software feel a bit more intuitive. If yo...

    Great UI Program

    I started taking this course with no UI background and I have learned so much of what it means to be a designer. The curriculum in this course is challenging, but not impossible. it defiantly helps you get a more in-depth knowledge of what I am doing an how to use it in the real world after this course. My mentor and tutor are both knowledgeable of UI and UX and are very strong assets to have in my corner when  I am in need of help.

    Good balance of theory and practice!

    The UX Design course was very comprehensive and I learned a lot. I especially liked that all the exercises were part of a course project that I can now use for my portfolio.
    My tutor and mentor were very supportive and provided me with lots of resources. 
    I deduct one point for the sometimes very extensive assignments that have to be handed in within a given time. In particular, when I first had to familiarise myself with new software, it took me much longer than predicted. As a ne...

    Data Analytics Program

    I have almost completed the Data Analytics Program at CareerFoundry. I have found the bootcamp to be informational, supportive, and overall a great learning experience.  The mentor and tutor assigned to me have been helpful not only in addressing the course material but in discussing future career options, as well.  I feel like I still have a lot to learn, but this bootcamp was a great starting point!

    I wanted to shift from the hospitality industry to another field, and the CareerFoundry (CF) course was a great start for breaking into the UX design industry. If I was asked again, I would still go for this course. I was mentored by four great professionals that were incredibly helpful and supportive along the way.
