    Amazing!

    The UX Design bootcamp is easy to follow as someone from outside the field (Finance) and provides the resources (tools + mentors) to help students succeed.

    UI Design Program - Wonderful and Supportive!

    I am still currently in the design program, however, I could not be more then pleased with it overall. I feel I have learn a lot just within these past 4 months and it works with my schedule. It's self-project based with a deadline, but I was feeling overwhelmed with work and started to trail behind a little and my tutor kept my spirits up and the student advisors even helped me out with extensions. I am excited to explore more that adds to my knowledge and portfolio and see where things...

    Good experience

    I have a learnt a lot from currently studying with Career Foundry so far. The course content and the support from Tutor and Mentor are amazing and helpful.    The only thing is it would've be helpful if I had been informed earlier before my mentor was changed to reduce or be prepared for any disruptions to my course.

    Great program that provides students with a lot of flexibility and support. The curriculum is a challenge, but still manageable as long as students are willing and able to put time and effort into their work.

    Intuitive learning

    I’m currently taking the UI course and I can’t say enough positive things about my experience. Not only do I feel like the material is well laid out and comprehensive, but CareerFoundry has given me so many resources from advisors, a tutor, a mentor and a community that I can turn to when I need support.

    Good curriculum-bad communication

    The curriculum of the program is ok- it follows a good tempo and covers interesting topics. What I find great is that we can put in practice what we are learning straight away. On the other side- the tutors are absolutely clueless when it comes to solving issues on the way or explaining anything in more detail. Usually their answers involve some YouTube videos which they advise you to watch and mostly never answer your question directly or even try to understand what you are experiencing...

    Hey! I think that sometimes the course could be more practical, with more videos showing how to use some of the tools instead.
    The instructors are very nice, their feedback is always helpful in many ways.
    And even if the job assistance is good, it could be improved by having more direct contact with the supplier's support team to avoid any miscommunication.

    Best Career Decision I've Made

    The UI Design Program at CareerFoundry has helped me improve immensely as a designer. My instructors and mentors are extremely supportive and genuinely want to help me succeed, which drives me to work even harder. The support from the student advisors, mentors, and tutors is amazing, I couldn't have asked for a better program.

    Not everything it’s promised to be

    CareerFoundry does a great job with their curriculum. They provide you with good amounts of basic design theory coupled with hands-on assignments.

    However, many of the assignments felt like busy work. I would have rather worked on portfolio pieces in each section than arbitrary assignments that won’t see the light of day after they’ve been submitted.

    That being said, there already is a substantial amount of work that you’ll need to put into your portfolio piece during the U...

    The experience I was looking for.

    It's been almost three months since I started the UX design course and I cannot find a reason not recommending it.
    I am in constant communication with my tutor and I have weekly meetings with my Mentor. Both of them send me a lot of additional resources to read and advice on how to improve my work. 
    Another thing I love about this course is the flexibility that I have to read and do assignments whenever I have time.

    great boot camp

    I am currently taking the full stack web development course at CareerFoundry. It has been very challenging, but also exciting, as I gradually figure out how everything works, having come into this with almost no coding experience. My mentor at CareerFoundry has been very supportive, encouraging, and helpful.

    Good Professionals but need to improve the content

    I started the course of Data Analytics in Career Foundry in March 2021. 
    Until now I learned several important tools, such as SQL, EXCEL, PYTHON, TABLEAU. But in all of them I have the impression that the content is not deep enough to make me feel comfortable and confident for a job application.
    Despite that, I can assure that the professionals behind the course are great.

    I have started to UX Design Program. It is not even my second month yet but I have learned a lot. My favorite part of it is its flexibility and how my mentor and tutor are always there to help with any question in my mind.
