However, I've had good experiences contacting the student advisors because they are very understanding of my situation and would help me get back on track. My tutor approves my tasks with some pretty generic/nonspecific feedback, sometimes I'm not sure if I'm really understanding the scope of the lesson because I don't get much constructive criticism, which makes me unsure if I'm really prepared for the industry afterwards. The mentor does give pretty concise and constructive criticism which helps make up for that weakness. Overall, very challenging for my design & time management skills.Overall4.0Curriculum3.0Job supportN/AInstructors4.0 -

After some research I found my field of interest (UI Design) and found CareerFoundry. So far I am incredibly impressed with the skills I have developed and how much I have learned in these past couple of months. It is incredibly impressive to go from not knowing anything in the field and finishing the course with a full polished portfolio, that was curated with the help of a tutor and a mentor.

Additionally, everyone's response time is quick and fast and they are always trying to help us get the best experience.

It is a self-paced but the program offers guidance on how to pace oneself whether you choose to participate part or full time. Your tutor/mentor are always giving productive and helpful feedback to help you improve. My personal favorite part is how the lessons are so bite size. You read about a new exercise, directly implement that into the task of the day. This is all being gathered to build the main piece of the achievement and overarching project. I think it's a great practical and hands-on approach to learning.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

It also gave me the opportunity to set up a website that serves as my portfolio. All in all a great school that goes the extra mile. And I got a job in a foreign country where I don't even speak the language properly within 4 months of finishing - with zero previous data analysis experience (I am a career changer from speech therapy to data analytics)!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

The feedbacks on the tasks are encouraging but you can see it could be improved with a more personal approach rather than ready made texts.

The student experience is highly dependent on the tutor and mentor you happen to be assigned— so just something to keep in mind. Student support via the student advising team was excellent.
