Daniel Kim
A great Full Stack Web Dev course!
Read more Read less of Daniel Kim's review
CareerFoundry's Full Stack Web Dev course is well thought-out and walks you through understanding and utilizing some of the popular and in-demand technologies. The lessons do need to be updated a slight bit to adjust to the changes in more recent updates to said technologies, but they give you a good feel for each of them regardless. But what I appreciate the most is the amount of support you get from the mentor and tutor they assign to you. If you get stuck, you can always reach out to your tutor for help to get you unstuck. The career assistance is optional, but I would greatly recommend opting in to make the most of what CareerFoundry can give you. You would be given a career advisor and you would walk through some tasks to help you prepare for that job hunt after you're done with the technical learning.
All in all, I feel like I have learned a lot more than what I would have if I had studied most of these on my own. I would recommend this course, though I would first get a feel for some of the basics in HTML, CSS and a little bit of JavaScript to get a good start in the course. -

I'm really into the UX Design Course. It's easy to follow, so you can build up your skills along the way. Whenever I have a question, my tutor and mentor is always there to answer. The mentor is very helpful if you ask questions related to real life experience. On the other hand, tutor only answer questions related to the curriculum. When you study at CF, you are able to join the Slack community. The community is very active, so even when you study by yourself you don't feel lonely. However, you should be good at managing time, so that you do not feel stressed during your learning process. -

Im 7 weeks into my UI Design program, with 10 more weeks to go, and so far so good. I feel that every class is so well explained and at the end of each one you are given so many extra resources to go deeper into each task. And I really appreciate the fact that if at any time I feel stuck or have a question, the student has really easy access to their Tutor or a call away to their mentor. And to finish the student advisors and School itself have always been really clear and fast with their help on any given situation. So overall im happy with my decision to have taken the course and really hope that it helps me jumpstart my career when im finished. -

CareerFoundary is the place you want to be if you are looking at doing a UI course. The staff are friendly and efficient! The course work is easy to understand but if you are struggling there is a team on standby for your every need! There are videos for you to review which helps provide a better understanding. The course work is laid out in parts as you build your app. Each task leaves you wanting more. Would really recommend CareerFoundary!

The Careerfoundry Full Stack Web Development course has been a pleasure for me so far, I'm less than 2 months away from graduation and I'm glad I chose this school.
The way that the course is designed has made the experience very positive for me, the fact that you can go at your own pace and don't need to attend any video classes was very helpful for me as I sometime struggle in a classroom.
Instead of video classes you get video calls from your mentor and IM's with your tutor, they almost always answer on time and the Mentor was especially helpful.
The course covers a lot of subjects but in a somehow brief manner, you then can choose which subjects you want to improve later on.
I haven't started the job preparation course yet so I won't be reviewing it. -

One of my best Decision
CareerFoundry is one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. From course work and the way, my Mentor and Tutor treated and correct my course work inspired me to do better and Job Prep make me feel more and more prepared for the field of UI as I get through the course.

My CareerFoundry Review
So far, my experience has been great! I would gladly recommend CareerFoundry to anyone who wants to study UX Design. The learning material is thorough and well explained, the community is diverse and I've got great support from my tutor and mentor. I couldn't have asked for more! -

Ux Design Course Review

During my 5 months online studies, i really like the course material and learned so much. However i think there is a room to improve. Here are some suggestions;
- Tutors acting like AI. It’s nice to have them but there is no personal connection. We never have a video call with them. Their reviews feel like standard templates. This made me feel distant my self from the person and i’ve never ask any questions or replied their email.
- Sometimes i felt lost during my course, as i didn’t know what i’m gonna do next. I wish there was an intro video in the beginning that explain what tasks i’ll be doing and how they all gonna connect in the end.
- I’d like to see more video content. -

Nice online course for beginners in the Data Analytics field. Great flexibility, as you can choose when to work on the course, perfect for full time employees. -
Patricija Kozusko
Best decision I’ve made
This course so far has been amazing. I didn’t have high hopes going in, mainly due to my past experience with online courses. Careerfoundry managed to exceed them all. Learning experience is easy, simple and enjoyable. I get constant support from my tutor and mentor and have my questions answered. I’m also very happy for the job preparation course. Have been enjoying it a lot so far -

A new career is coming
Highly recommend. Thanks to CF I’ll start a new career in a field that I have never heard before. I can work part time, table care of my daughter and study in the meantime. I like it! I’m learning so many new things and I can easily manage my free time. What to say? The best choice -
Bruno Formiga
CareerFoundry best UX bootcamp
I chose CareerFoundry to do my UX design course after analysing many options online and compare the pros and cons.
I can say that the course exceed my expectations and the great value comes from the guidance from my tutor and mentor that makes my learning experience 300% much better!
I 100% recommend to anyone in doubt! -

The CareerFoundry Bootcamp has been a great experience.
I succeeded in finding a job as a UX designer 2 months after completing the last course.
During the course, I learned a lot about UX Design, UI Design, and UX Research. I still use the course content for my daily business. My instructors have been supportive and experienced but I felt like the personal connection has been missing. My tutor doesn't even answer me anymore.
The only downside is the remote setting - you work and study almost completely by yourself.
I only talked to my tutor once a week, which can let you feel lonely - depending on the person.
Overall, the course was great.
Especially the job preparation course has been a huge help. -

CareerFoundry was the best online learning experience I've had. The platform was easy to navigate and assisted in being able to focus on the content rather than how to use the classroom. The mentors/tutors I was assigned were great to work with, and always very informative and encouraging. I have, and will continue to, recommend CareerFoundry to friends and colleagues looking to improve their design skillset or make a career change. It has been a life changing experience for me that I am so thankful I took a chance on! -
Victoria
Data Analytics Course
Very informative material with detailed step-by-step instructions in every exercise. I'm switching my career, so such detailed explanations on the material being studied is very important for me. Before enrolling, I've drilled through 10+ online schools and courses, looking for what they offer and CareerFoundry was the winner. Highly recommended to the beginners in data analysis. -
Josepa Cusidó
Very comprehensive self-paced course
I am very happy with the online course, as it is self-paced and there is a lot of information to review and practice. I am also very happy with the assignments. Sometimes I would like to receive quicker or more detailed feedback on my assignments, but on the other hand this gives me the opportunity to look for solutions as I have to do at work. -
Jason
Top Notch UX Experience
Read more Read less of Jason's review
I was a little skeptical about doing an online course at first. I did a ton of research on what the best approach would be to learn UX before I signed on with Careerfoundry. There's plenty of self-taught paths you can take, multiple online bootcamps, and university courses. It was overwhelming. I found a review for Careerfoundry that really appealed to me though. The course offers a ton of resources to help you succeed. There's job placement assistance, you're assigned a mentor and a tutor, and they have an engaging community of students eager to learn and share ideas that you're encouraged to be a part of. The mentor and tutor components are really what sold me though. I have direct access to professionals in the UX industry which I think is huge in terms of career transitions and helping you prepare for real world UX job scenarios. Overall, I give Careerfoundry 5 out of 5 stars for being the complete package course. -

UI Design Course

I recently finished the UI Design course with CareerFoundry. I chose it for its practical approach. During this course I was working on several projects, and I am using three of them in my professional portfolio. I also appreciate the support of a mentor and a tutor during the course and the job preparation phase.
I would wish for more contact with my peers, the course is fully online and although there is a community of students on slack, it can't fully replace the team experience. Thus, I am currently working on a collaboration project with students I met through the platform. -

Full-Stack Web Development Program

I am quite satisfied by my experience with Careerfoundry. In my opinion the curriculum is very complete, while also giving you a lot of tips to further learn more about certain topics/tools if wanted.
You get a tutor (who reviews your tasks) and a mentor (who reviews your final achievements for each section). The meetings with my mentor were generally very useful, giving me an expert's insight on the topic I was studying/about to study.
However, I have to say that the few times I had a specific problem in my code and got stuck it was often difficult to get real, practical help from my tutor or my mentor. I had to ask multiple times until eventually I solved the problem(s) on my own.
But then again, that's what coding's all about!
Overall, I absolutely would suggest this program! -
Mariana
It’s been a great journey
Im more than happy with my experience so far at Career Foundry. It’s a good balance between working on my own and having the support and feedback from my tutor and mentor. I can highlight recommend! -

I would recommend CareerFoundry to anyone who is looking to consider a career in the UX field. It will give you an overview and an idea about the field and also will equip you with the skills and knowledge that are required.
Among the few things which I want to highlight includes the support from the student advisor community,mentors and tutors and the very active Slack community!
Self paced study can get quite overwhelming but CareerFoundry has got your back! -

Learn At Your Own Pace

I am most of the way through career foundry's UX program. I started in February of this year (2022). What I like about the course is that it's much more thorough than the other UX boot camps. The other programs range from 1-3 months long. Career foundry is more like 5-8 months depending on your schedule. While you're still required to do a lot of learning outside of class to fully grasp the tools, the course does a good job laying out the fundamentals. You're assigned a tutor and a mentor to guide you. So far having an expert to talk to has proven to be useful. While a lot of the curriculum was written in 2017, I still think that it's a pretty good program overall. I update my review after I finish the course and see if their job guarantee proves true. -

Careerfoundry has a very well thorough & well-paced curriculum. I’ve learned so much in my UX design bootcamp with them already and I am only half way through. My only note, is that this bootcamp is truly a solid foundation for UX knowledge, however, it is super important that you conduct some independent studying as well on top of your CF coursework. Go to meet ups, go to design workshops, socialize with other UXers for the best possible learning experience! -
Mary Grace Gonzalez
Well-organized
It is my first time doing a course online, and I find the one from Career Foundry very organized. The mentors and tutors are very encouraging and engaging, which I feel is important when you do a course online. What's great is that it is certified and can be paid fully by the Agentur für Arbeit in Germany. -

I am doing the UX Design Course as a full-time student and currently about a third of the way of the course. I find the course to be extremely well structured. So far all of the course material has been very well laid out and I had no issues understanding my course content or any of the tasks. The Slack community has been helpful to connect to other students at my level. Most challenging is the pace of the course (as a German student my course is paid for by the government, which comes with a strict deadline) and the complexity of coming up with an original app idea and its structure. It's a great challenge though and I am learning a ton. -
Evangelos Skandalis
Great support along the way
I'm a total career changer, so it's not always easy for me, but the CareerFoundry team is there to help and advise.
The course material is clearly structured and with every little achievement I feel a bit more confident.
The vibrant Slack community is worth its weight in gold! -

Great Investment
I love how each task of this builds upon the previous, it helps to what the entire process of designing is. My tutor is amazing and gives clear and concise feedback, and always gives resources in addition to his critiques . My mentor is so encouraging and helps me know I’m actually progressing. I’m happy I made the investment in this course. -

Full Stack Web Development

I had a terrible experience with their full stack web development program. There are much better programs out there that are more up to date on their materials and are less expensive. It seems like the only program of theirs that they care about maintaining and supporting is the UX program, but the coding program was unacceptable. Tutors that are either unavailable, don't care, or dont know how to explain coding, projects that are so out of date that all of them have broken within a few months of completing the program, and a program that makes you jump through absolutely ridiculous hoops to try to get a refund, which it doesnt seem like ever happens. This program was advertised to be able to complete in 8 months part-time, which is IMPOSSIBLE unless you have a very very low workload or job that doesnt require a lot from you. They also advertised that they have great tutors and mentor who support you throughout the program....I had 5 differrnt tutors and 3 mentors due to the absolute lack of support from previous ones, and some of them being rude and insulting when you ask for help. This program talks the talk with how supportive and amazing it is, but absolutely does not walk the walk. And the fact that their projects are YEARS out of date is ridiculous. I wish I didn't spend thousands of dollars on this program, as well as be forced to pay $500 per month for extensions due to tutors being unavailable to help, projects being obscenely put of date, and it being near impossible to complete it in the given time frame. Don't waste your time or money!! -
Kim Schildwächter
Immersion UX Design Course
The UX Design course fully meets my expectations so far, all is understandable and well structured. The course material is really well structured and understandable and each exercise is always a comfortable length. I really like the tutor and mentor system, I have two direct contacts who answer all my questions and support me on my way.
I feel very comfortable with the course. -
Steven Kumar
Best choice I made!
This course is jam packed with new information. I didn't know anything about UI Design before starting this course with CF. As I traditional graphic designer the transition was very smooth and everything is explained really well for beginners. I really liked the feedback and support you get from your Tutors and Mentors. -

I come from a Graphic Design background, but I wanted to change my career path from Print Production to something more Tech/Digital.
Overall I've had a great experience with this course;
The instructors are friendly helpful.
The course schedule is very flexible.
The skills I'm learning are very practice.
I also want to mention I got a full-time job as a Graphic Designer/UI Designer before I finished the course. One of the interviewer knew of CareerFoundry which I think helped me get the job!
I highly Recommend this Program. -

Solid Foundation & Great Curriculum
Read more Read less of Jessica D's review
I am halfway through the UX Design program and am really enjoying it. I find that it really is a "you get out what you put in" type of deal with a great framework. I knew I needed a program that would provide me with a learning structure because self-study was not working for me personally. I think you *can* learn everything here on your own, but it has been very helpful to have a mentor and tutor to guide me in addition to the structured coursework. Overall, I am really happy I enrolled.
