CareerFoundry Reviews
- Great Program with lots of help.- 4/27/2022Kevin Hurdt • Student • Course: Full-Stack Web Development Program • Campus: Online • Verified via GitHubDefinitely need a curriculum to follow in order to cover all that I would need before starting a career in full stack web development and CareerFoundry has done a great job in providing that. Also very generous in helping you finishing the course even if you need more time because of a tight schedule.
- So happy with my choice!- 4/27/2022Elysa A • Student • Course: Intro to UX Design Course • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInWhen i decided to reorient my career to UX/UI Design i spent hours online researching schools. Im so glad i went CareerFoundry. The curriculum is great and the support from mentors, tutors and student advisors is part of the reason i chose CF and they keep me on track and motivated. I still have a few months to go before i get to the Job Assistance portion but im looking forward to it.
- Teacher to Tech- 4/27/2022Sandy • Pre-K Lead Teacher Aspiring UX Designer • Student • Course: UX Designer • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInCareer Foundry has been a great experience so far. I really enjoy working with my tutor and meeting with my mentor. I feel like I’m learning a lot and doing a lot of good work to build my portfolio and skill set. I am doing the program part time and working full time as a Pre-K teacher. Completing the course on my own time has been very helpful, I really enjoy the flexibility.
- Nice supporting online course- 4/27/2022CMendes • Student • Course: UX Designer • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInGood course with lots of information and project based. The mentors and tutors are nice and knowledgeable.
- UX Design- 4/27/2022jennifer • designer (fashion) • Student • Course: UX Designer • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInOnline course to help you transition to a career in UX design. Also provide job placement services.
- CF FullStack Review- 4/27/2022Ian D. • Student • Course: Full-Stack Web Development Program • Campus: Online • Verified via GitHubI have had a very positive experience so far with CareerFoundry. I started the FullStack program in February with almost zero coding experience. My CF tutor has consistently provided specific, meaningful feedback on each task; his responses are so quick, usually in a couple hours. I've also had a supportive and engaging mentor who has talked at length about his professional experience in additional to offering constructive insights about my bigger achievement projects.
The curriculum is fast-paced for my experience level, but also includes everything I need to complete the exercises. The embedded videos are extra helpful for when I'm stuck. If I could make two changes, the first would be more opportunities to practice programming language syntax, but the instructors also share links for outside resources that meet this need. Second, the Slack community for peer support can be difficult to navigate. The CF staff do a lot to promote peer engagement, but I have to search a lot of Slack threads to find students who have posted about whichever task I need help completing; maybe a student discussion board linked to each relevant task would improve peer collaboration.
I would recommend CareerFoundry based on my experience so far.
- Great decision- 4/27/2022Berit • Student • Course: UI Design Program • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInI choose Careerfoundry to start my UI journey because of the great ratings and reviews I read all over the internet and the possibility to get a voucher for this course from the Jobcenter. I was a little bit skeptical if this course would match my expectations but not only did it match them my expectations got surpassed. I am right now in the middle of this course and the way of learning is perfect for me. I really hope to increase my job chances but if they keep their promise I am optimistic that this was the perfect choice for me.
- Data Analytics- 3/23/2022Sarthak Gavali • Student • Course: Data Analytics Program • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInGreat to have joined this course. It was just what I needed as a beginner. All concepts explained in a very simplified way and the best part is the Tutor and mentor who guide and review your work to further improve it as per industry requirements. Highly recommend this one.
- Web development- 3/23/2022Edie salas miller • Student • Course: Full-Stack Web Development Program • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInA self paced full stack web development program, it has been great for my busy schedule and I find the readings in depth and comprehensible. I feel confident and when i dont my tutor is always there to break things down for me.
- Student- 3/23/2022Mark Regini • Student • Student • Course: Data Analytics Program • Campus: Online • Verified via GitHubA wonderful, self-driven course on a variety of technical skills. You're able to work on it on your time, and your pace, with no need to stress on deadlines!
- UI Design- 3/10/2022Giulia • Student • Course: UI Design Program • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInThe UI Design program at CareerFoundry is organised in 6 different sections that help students to get skills on various aspects of visual design and user experience for app and websites. Students can count on the daily support of a tutor who reviews tasks during the week plus an extra feedback from a different advisor for broader projects. CareerFoundry staff is friendly and and efficient and throughtout the course students are provided with tons of extra links and material to widen their knowledge on the field autonomouly and "do the extra mile".
- Data Analytics Program- 3/10/2022Christina • Senior Commercial Analyst • Student • Course: Data Analytics Program • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInThe course content is great and very varied. Some of the instructions are not entirly clear however and can lead to confusion. Also, some of the provided datasets in the Python module are too large for a normal person's PC to process which leads to memory issues and ultimately delays progress with the course.
