Careerfoundry Bootcamp Data Analytics Review
This program was the best decision I could have ever made for choosing data analytics. The program is very independent while still getting the help you need from a tutor and mentor as part of your team. I would highly recommend the program for those seeking a data analytics training program -

Exceeds expectations
I’ve been totally pleased with my experience at CareerFoundry. The curriculum is super clear and my tutor and mentor are responsive and GREAT instructors. It’s the best educational experience I’ve had yet (and I went to Princeton). My favorite thing about it is that I am challenged and am definitely mastering the material but I am not stressed because there are no exams. -

Don't fall for Job Guarantee and Not worth it if you're outside the US or Germany
Read more Read less of Nico Serrano's review
Read the small letter of the Job Guarantee, you're most likely not to get your money back. On one hand, the Career Specialist recommends being smart and searching for interesting jobs that will be fulfilling, yet, the small letter states that there's a min of 5 applications a week to apply, plus direct contacts and assistance to UX events. Networking outside of Germany or US is almost non-existent and the job offers inside their platform are mostly for these two countries. My teachers were good, yet, other students complain a lot about what the mentor said vs. what the tutor said so feedback is confusing. It also won't take you five months, especially if you are working full time, so calculate about a year if that is your case. And, don't expect a lot of incoming jobs inside their platform to look somewhere else if that's your case. Overall, the content was good, but I expected more and their messaging is very deceitful. -

Enjoying learning UX Design!
Read more Read less of Chaini's review
I am currently doing the UX Design Immersion course with CareerFoundry. I have been enjoying the programme so far and feeling that I am on track to be a UX Designer!
What I like most about the programme is that the curriculum is very structured, breaking projects into small, more digestible chunks. It has enough theory, in the meantime very hands on and practical. The course contents are concise enough to learn overview of new topics, at the same time, there are plenty additional reading material to go deeper into certain areas of interest. I feel confident that I am preparing for my portfolio whilst learning all the new knowledge and techniques.
This is an online course. However, each of us is allocated with a mentor and a tutor, and there are plenty interactions with them, including video calls which we can schedule with our mentor. I enjoy the interactions with my tutor and mentor; in fact, everyone whom I have interacted with at CareerFoundry are friendly and helpful. I also find the learning platform very easy to use and it gives me the structure to know what I am aiming to complete/ learn, and what I have achieved.
There is a Slack student community - personally, I haven't spent much time on the community so far. Recently, I joined a live design workshop with other CF students, which I find very useful and I hope there will be more of these organised.
I'd considered other bootcamps when I was making the decision. One of the reasons why I chose CareerFoundry is their career support; I will be able to access to a career advisor once I have completed more than 50% of my immersion course, which I am looking forward to!
Overall, I like CareerFoundry's curriculum and the fact that it provides the flexibility for me to learn at my own pace, and still knowing I can reach out anytime for support from my mentor and tutor. So far, I am glad that I've chosen CareerFoundry to start my UX Design journey! -

Gaining Helpful, Real-World Experience
I have no experience with UX/UI but CareerFoundry offers a supportive community. My tutor and mentor offer me industry advice that will help me when I work as an actual UX designer after the program. -

Strong foundations and good resources
Read more Read less of Rose Yao's review
Quick rundown of where I am in the course: the UX Design program has an Intro, Immersion, Specialization and Job Prep (required for the job guarantee) course that is part of the entire curriculum. Right now, I've finished the Intro and Immersion course already and applying to internships, so I can't give you an accurate gauge on how well the course prepares you for a job, but I can say that the course teaches you very thoroughly the things you need to know, and the work you are asked to do is a good reflection of it. Of course, like all education, what you learn doesn't always represent reality, but it sets the right foundation for your future. Along the way, you'll also have no less than 3 people helping you (tutors, advisors, and mentors) so don't worry too much about working with the material alone. But for the most part, this course is self-paced and so you must be self-motivated in doing the work within the time given to you. -

Informative and Thorough Courses
This program has helped me so much! The tasks and achievements are so informative and are up to industry standards. I learnt how to use Figma and Adobe XD very easily thanks to instructions and tutorials I was provided with. I really feel like this course is equivalent to having a UI/UX degree with the amount that I learnt. -

I love my course, theres a lot of information and every task is so clear and full of very valuable content and extra readings in case you want to sumerge more in deep about the topic, I can't say anything bad, just what I've been feeling is that my tutor everytime I submit a task she doesn't take too much time to review it or I feel like she just approves everything I submit and a part of me feels good but the other is like Wait! am I really doing everything that good that I don't have to resubmit ? but in general I've been enjoying this course although some days I loose motivation but that's just because daily life stuff. -

I am studying the Data Analytics course with no prior exposure or experience in Tech and I have found the course to be so informative and easy to understand. Each student has access to a tutor (who you can bombard with as many questions if you don't understand a concept) and a mentor, who helps you prepare for the industry. The support and course curriculum is well-rounded and project based - making you as job ready as you'll ever need.

Learning a lot

I’m very satisfied with my experience in CareerFoundry’s Full-Stack Development bootcamp. I’m learning a lot! My mentor, tutor, the advisors and other staff have been encouraging and helpful. The curriculum does a great job of providing resources for all types of learners, like text, graphics, code examples, videos, practice projects, and real humans to reach out to.
It’s a lot of new information, as a career changer, but I’m really happy with my decision to enroll with CF! -

Learning a lot!
CareerFoundry meets my needs as a parent who is making a transition in a career. Fully online and self-paced. Compared to other bootcamps I researched, the cost to go to CareerFoundry is one of the lowest. One thing I have enjoyed the most is the Student Advisor team. All-around, a great option! -

Just What I Was Looking For
Read more Read less of Autumn R.'s review
My experience was positive from day one. I signed up for the UX program, and I like that I could complete the work at my own pace. With the flexibility of my previous job, I was able to make a full-time commitment to the course work and finish in six months! The content and assignments were chunked into easy, digestible parts, and I appreciate the thoroughness of the assignments because I anticipated graduating with a full portfolio. Having access to a supportive tutor with quick response times was really motivating. Connecting with my UX and UI mentors and getting their feedback on my deliverables as well as their unique industry insights were so valuable. The icing on the cake was the job guarantee. I ultimately chose CareerFoundry because I wanted a career specialist to support me in landing a job and hold me accountable. CareerFoundry is great!

perfect launch pad for Full stack journey
Full stack is such a huge mountain to scale and it can be overwelhming. The career foundary Full stack immersion and intro to front end is designed to split it up properly so thart we don't feel that it is a mountain and at the same time we cover the breadth of the field so that in the future we can dive more and more deeper into the subject. -

Great Support in My UX Course
Read more Read less of Sarah Molina's review
I'm currently enrolled in CareerFoundry's UX course, and I've really enjoyed it so far. My tutor and mentor have both given me such great guidance, especially as a person that is very new to this world (I currently work in healthcare). The course is well structured with lots of visual markers to keep track of your progress. It is self-study, so be prepared to have your study/work/life schedule organized to make life easier! The course also has several links to outside resources for further learning, should you have time. The entire CF staff has been so supportive through my journey, the course itself to managing payments and extensions. I highly recommend CF UX - just come with an open mind and some time management. -

So happy with my choice!

Was a challenging thing to switch careers in my 40's and learn a new skill but CareerFoundry made the process a lot easier. With help from mentors, tutors and job prep coaches, the support i received was invaluable. I landed my first job a couple of days after graduating. It may not be the norm but all i can say is market yourself of any platform you can think of. It really helped. The curriculum is very detailed and i covered enough to feel like i can take on this new career. Beyond happy i silenced the doubts in my head telling me i couldn't/shouldn't do this and took the plunge with CF. Thanks a million! -

Amazing, great, wonderful, insightful, and very helpful.
CareerFoundry for me is a great place for UI UX design bootcamp. I’ve learn a lot since I started and it continued to feed my brain more knowledge and also a skills that I don’t have it before. -
Alfonzo Martinez
Challenging and informative
Classes are very informative and easy to follow. Assignments are challenging but tutor/mentor are helpful when assistance is needed. Examples and videos throughout the course are great and helpful in explaining what is needed and required to learn the topic that is being taught. For my personal preference the flexibility of classes are the greatest perk of the course.

Career foundry
I think career foundry is amazing.
Before I tried to study in deferent sites and nothing compares to Career foundry. My tutor and mentor have been exceptional and supportive all the time. They do not miss a detail and the feedback is always encouraging. The content is also impressive and puts all the information straight away into practice with real live scenarios. I have really enjoyed it <3 -

I enjoyed the structure of the course plus the timely and encouraging tutor support. Weekly Mentor calls were so eye-opening in picturing the perspective of the pathway, and also getting answers from someone who has already experienced working in this field was really helpful. It would be great if all the material in the course were prepared in a video format rather than text to simulate the physical class. -

I would highly recommend the UX Design course with Career Foundry. Not only in the course interesting and engage the support you receive from the tutors, mentors and student advisors is amazing. I feel more supported and encouraged by the team than I did when studying my degree at university! Even though it's 100% online learning I feel well connected to other students and have not felt alone. I've felt stuck in my career for a while and wasn't sure how to change things, it was making me miserable. Choosing to study with Career Foundry has been the best decision I've made in a long time and I feel confident that this course is going to open up opportunities I couldn't have imagined less than a year ago! -

So far, my tutor as being very supportive, responsive and encouraging. Although I have never being through this kindly of program before, I am really gaining a lot from it. The mentorship is so great as well and that was why I actually signed up for the program. The icing on the program for me is the job preparation course. Although it seem quite stressful combining all these courses right now, I know it will be of great benefit for me in future. -

I'm very impressed with the data analytics course. The mentors and tutors are very helpful and prompt. I feel I will be prepared for a job position once I am competed. The mentor calls help me understand course material and how to apply it in a real world setting. I also can ask my tutor questions regarding the course martial and can expect a prompt response. Both individuals are encouraging and keep me abreast on my progress. -

I turned to CareerFoundry when I found myself wondering what my next step in life was. I knew I wanted to get into the tech field but had no idea how to even start. I knew I wanted something that I could do at my own pace, something with loads of support and great information. CareerFoundry has exceeded my expectations in every single way. My tutor and mentor are phenomenal UX designers who actively work in the field. They give timely and objective feedback that has allowed me to really come into my own in my coursework. I am miles farther than where I began, and with the support of CF and their job preparation course, I know I can keep growing and really become my own in the field. -

I can not say enough positive things about my experience with CareerFoundry. From the start of the course I felt incredibly supported by my tutor and mentor who were always available when I needed clarity surrounding the material I was being presented. Further, this is a major career change for me, but the material is very easy to comprehend. As a former teacher, I really like their project based learning style where you are able to go through 15-30 minutes of reading, take a brief assessment, and then complete a project to deepen your understanding. If you are driven to learn independently with the assistance of others when you need it, then this is the course for you! -

I really enjoy my UX Design program with CareerFoundry. The curriculum is great and it is really fun to learn, since you are taking what you learn and practice it in a task right away. I was afraid, that it is mostly reading but the combination really pleasantly surprised me. The Student Advisors are super nice and fast with their replies in case you have a question or concern. I highly recommend the program. -

I was recommended to CareerFoundry when I mentioned to a friend of mine that I wanted to change careers. Her friend had done this program, and after doing some research, I found this program to have the best qualities that I was looking for.
I haven't completed the course yet, but I have been able to work with an industry professional (who I look up to greatly). She has been incredibly helpful in solidifying my designs as well as encouraging me to strive to create higher quality designs with each iteration and each project.
I feel very comfortable with my tutor, who grades most of my assignments, as well. He's very kind yet instructive, and I feel like I am able to learn something new each time he reviews my assignments. He also has an abundance of resources that have been helping me along the way. -
Farah
Highly recommended
This UX Design course has been a huge learning curve for me. I love that I am able to see my acheivements. My tutor is great and highly responsive. My mentor is very generous with the experience and advice that she shares with me. It all makes the intensity of this course a little bit less intense and a bit more fun! -

I really like this course. I am learning a lot and the lessons are full with extra links and resources if you want to know more about a subject. My first tutor unfortunately was very slow about grading assignments, but after I logged two complains I was switched to a new grader who is quick and gives great feedback! I especially love how the course is asynchronous and perfectly fits my schedule. -
Robyn Fehr
Encouraging, involved, and interesting
Career Foundry has surpassed my expectations. The method in which they teach is straight forward and encouraging. The support of my tutor and mentor has been beyond helpful, as well as suppor from other staff members! They send little emails that are encouraging, or informative, seemingly right when you need them. They also seem to be very current, which is important in a tech field. -

I have enjoyed being a career foundry student so far! It’s a great course that really teaches the fundamentals of being a UI/UX designer. I’ve been impressed and look forward to gaining my certification through the program! -
Judy S
So far so good!
I'm enjoying the course so far. It's pretty easy to follow. You have a ton of resources that will help you through your course including your tutor, mentor, student advisors, slack channels with other fellow students, and career mentor towards the second half of the course. Comes with a job guarantee if you complete the job prep course within a certain time frame, what more can you ask for? -

CareerFoundry UI Design Course
Read more Read less of Tatsiana's review
My program began in August and now I'm almost half way through. I'm completely new to UI Design with zero design background.
I like that material of each lesson is very well built and structured. After each lesson there are plenty of additional things to read and watch on the topic.
The most important part in my opinion is that I, as a student, always have support of tutor and mentor. This is so valuable for me as for a person
who is changing career and meets a lot of challenges on my way. Having good feedback helps me to improve my skills and gives me more confidence.
I'm glad I have professionals who are always here to help and cheer me up.
Even though I study on my own I don't feel alone at all. CareerFoundry community in Slack is always active and full of people who can help.
Mu overall experience of the UI Design Program is good, and i'm glad I decided to take it.
