Great bootcamp to set the foot into the door. The set up with the tutor and mentor helps a lot to learn quickly and get professional perspective. The way course is set up prepares you got a job search quite well. Its super nice that they mold you into targeting your specific career needs and goals. That helps a lot to be specific and strategic with breaking into the industry. Overall, great way to get the basics and learn the ins n outs. One wish is that it somehow incorporate design programs into the learning process :) otherwise grat school! -

Good, but can be better

I am currently taking a CareerFoundry UX design course. I am happy that we have tutors and mentors who review our work and answer our questions. It’s good that the course provides tasks after each reading material. These tasks helped me learn and progress. However, the reading information isn’t great, and I have to do a lot of extra reading. Sometimes the task doesn’t include the information I need for the task. Also, I think the structure of these tasks could be better; I feel frustrated a lot of the time. I would love to have more examples from designers than they have. ( they provide some examples, but those are so rare, and the project that they showcase changes all the time)
* they do great with dealing with student’s issues and giving extra time if you have a good reason. -

Full stack web development

The course itself is intensive and covers full stack, which is perfect for me. I’m haven’t decided if I want to do full stack, front end or back end and this gives me the chance to cover all my bases.
I have come across some communication issues with my tutor and sometimes wonders if he really checks my work, however my mentor has been incredible. I find our Skype meetings extremely productive, motivating and overall helpful. I would recommend this school to friends and family. -

Data Analytics
Course is very clear and straightforward. Mentor and turor are very helpful. A lot of tools for the students to plan and succeed. Very flexible too.
But you need Microsoft Office if you don't want to use the Google spreadsheet. -
Samara Slater
Intro to UI
I thoroughly enjoyed completing every task throughout the course. I also particularly like how CareerFoundry structures the material and the flexible nature of the course. The feedback I received from my tutor was super helpful. And I learned a lot from talking to my mentor. -

I am extremely happy with the course so far. Due to my current circumstances I can only complete course work at intermittent times, but the course work is interesting, well explained, paced and I have support from my mentor and tutors. I would highly recommend it. -

Studying With Great Tutors and Mentors
I have been taking the Data Analytics course from Careerfoundry since January 2022. Lessons are very effective, helpful, and intensively prepared. One of the pros that I like about this course is that the communication between students and tutors/mentors is very fast and productive.

Amazing experience!

CF has been a great experience and investment for me so far. I’m about 5 months in, and have found that the curriculum has been direct and relevant and the tasks do a good job of helping you focus on building skills that are most relevant for building a portfolio and starting a job. The availability of a mentor and tutor were big selling points for me, and both have been really helpful. If you’re someone who needs accountability to stay on track or is having a hard time figuring out what to focus on and how to build a portfolio, this is a really great option. -

I’m a little less than half way through with my course and I have to say I’m loving it! My mentor and tutor have been incredibly helpful and provide me with lots of extra reading material that can help me along. The course is very detailed and explains things in an efficient manner. It introduces you to popular industry tools and programs. The slack community is very positive and you met loads of amazing people. It’s great for networking! So far loving it! -

I couldn't be happier with my choice. CareerFoundry has been an amazing experience thus far and it is still ongoing. There are many options for online courses in UX design and I am so lucky that I found CareerFoundry as it is the best fit for me. Since I have experience with other online courses I could say that CareerFoundry is unique in its ability to maintain engagement and keep you motivated to continue and stay on course. My online tutor and mentor are always there for me and most importantly the student community. I am not one to use those type of social platforms and I found it to be invaluable, so supportive and I am interacting with the online community weekly for guidance and advice. -
Tahani Hammoude
UX Designer
CareerFoundry taught me how to become a UX Designer with of course the help of my mentor and tutor. I enjoyed using the platform as its simple and it taught me everything I need to know. I recommend it to anyone trying to change careers or further their education. Thank you CareerFoundry! :) -

I have truly enjoyed my experience with Career Foundry as a career changer! My tutor and mentor have been essential in my success so far and the trust I have already with them just helps me to know that I can make mistakes and learn from them here while I'm in the course. I think the overall education that Career Foundry is supporting through this UX design program is a great place to start so that I can continue my learning and advancement after I've graduated. -

I’m through almost half the course and I couldn’t be happier. The instructors, curriculum and the guidance I’ve received has been incredible. This gives me much needed confidence for switching careers, as I feel that I’m receiving all the necessary support and have access to truly great knowledge base. -

I am at this moment halfway to completing the full-time UI Design Course.
I love how the themes are structured, main subjects are broken down into smaller pieces of information for a better understanding and assimilation. Along with the reading, there are always great resources to keep enriching the information provided. At the end of each class, there is a Task that is part of a project that the student is building up.
Some of my highlights:- I love ¨learning by doing and knowing by experience.¨
- My tutor gives valuable feedback that always helps improve my proposals
- The mentor is experienced in the sector and shares knowledge sync to the job market.
- The online platform is friendly, easy to navigate and to follow up
- Information is well structured, with plenty of examples, resources, and references.
- Projects are based on real-life examples.
I feel satisfied with my advance, I feel confident with what I have learned, and motivated to continue until the end :) -
Andrei
UI Design Course
The course is great. The platform is easy to use, the course is well structured, and the support being provided by a team of professionals is at the highest level. I highly recommend. -
Valeria
Well structured course
The course is really well structured and interesting. It feels good to work on a real project and see it growing :) I started from zero but I can see I'm doing a lot of progress.
Communication with mentor and tutor could be better, there could be for sure better standards, but you can contact the student service center and they might change tutor or mentor in some cases.

Great support through industry experts
Why I decided to go for CF? Because of their great support through tutor, mentor & career specialists that separates the CF offer from other competitors. I do love chatting about everything ux related with my tutor. -
Kadir Gürcan
Full-Stack Web Dev
6 Month of Full-Stack Web Developer training. Very nice supportive tutors and mentors. The Programm is nice but also very tough to get into if have no experience about the topic before. You really need to do a lot of studying and practicing the content. Overall it is very challenging but it is setting a good start for a future career in IT. -

Letitia Foster
Take IT career to another leve
Before attending Careerist I wasn't quite sure how to take my IT career to another level. During those 11 weeks of the immersive program, I received the tools and fast-paced skills to be a great QA Automation Engineer. I can confidently say that I am no longer just a tester. I can now master Automation, l use the popular language Python and I am an in-demand QA Engineer. -

Great learning experience!
Great structured course with strong Learning resources and amazing support! It's also the most flexible course i ever made... -
Julia
UX Design Program
CareerFoundry helped me to deepen my knowledge about UX and finally start my own projects and my portfolio. For me, it was fine to do the course part-time, but I probably would recommend doing it full-time. I think that will help you to have the whole learning experience because I didn't have that much time doing bonus tasks or browsing through the resources of the chapters. -
Christina
UX design: Highly recommended
Read more Read less of Christina's review
I began my UX design course at CareerFoundry four months ago. I'm quite pleased with my decision. The course is well-structured, and the projects and activities are highly practical. The tutors and mentors are quite competent, and I feel extremely well supported. As you build your portfolio throughout the course, you will be ready to apply for jobs at the end. I haven't started the job preparation course yet, so I can't provide an evaluation of that part. -

Wonderful Mentorship

I really enjoyed the first part of the course, and my tutor and mentor really care about me; they give really great feedback and we have rapport. I think that I will eventually learn all the programs I need to get a job, and the staff at CareerFoundry make sure that I know what is expected of me in order to get a job by the end of the course. I am very grateful and would recommend this course to anybody interested in UX. -

Good Camp for Flexible-time Learners
The course is well designed for the learner who need to work and learn side by side, while it still has a process to constrain learning pace to encourage finishing the course on time. The curriculum is practical and elaborate. Tutor and mentor are helpful! -
Maddy
Great experience!
I am happy with my choice in choosing CareerFoundry because I feel very supported by my mentor, tutor, and career specialist. I really wanted a school that provided assistance and guidance in my career search after completing the course. I love the project-based format and feel like I have learned so much already being halfway through the course. -

I started my course back in October and already I feel so much more confident in the process of designing. The preparation and long term goal focus is encouraging and the feedback is so helpful! I can’t wait to start my new career -
Kristi
Great UX Course
I am so glad to be in the CF UX program. My mentor and tutor are wonderful and I am confident they are helping me to learn what I need to. I am constantly challenged to do better and take every opportunity to learn what I can. I think this human touch is what sets CF apart from other programs. -

Invaluable Experience
Read more Read less of Alex Ritchie's review
Intro to UX is a fantastic investment. It provides structure to a broad, evolving career field and makes it easy to gain valuable skills. The course provides a series of lessons and corresponding tasks that help students gain hands-on experience researching and designing an app. While there are some leaps between lessons, the course provides ample resources to help you fill in all the blanks and create something to be proud of. Additionally, their network of tutors and mentors provides invaluable advice every step of the way. I now feel confident in my understanding of how researchers and designers work and I have vital experience to begin my career transition into UX design. -

UX Design Program Review
Read more Read less of Claudio's review
I am currently a student at Career Foundry in the UX Design Program. The program is well structured providing you with a lot of content and external resources to expand on the topic you are on. It is project based and is designed to take you through the various phases of UCD where each exercise will build upon the previous one to the completion of a final project. Reviews are quite prompted and the tutor and mentor are very available in my experience. (This may vary depending on who is assigned to you). I haven't had any problem learning remotely through their platform, I actually prefer this option over relocating to a new town and live in a Uni Campus (more expensive). Overall, I am happy with it and I do recommend it to others. Hope this helps. -
Kailee O
UX Design
The coursework has been informational and enjoyable, I feel like I'm learning a lot about what it's going to entail being a UX designer. My tutor helps me by making sure my assignments are perfect before approving them. I am looking forward to working with the career specialists to hone in my interview and portfolio skills later on in the course. -

Great School for Remote Learning
Read more Read less of Roberto's review
I've been doing the UX Design programme with CareerFoundry for six months and it's been great so far. I'd say their main strength lies on the human factor, as you are assigned a personal tutor, a personal mentor and a personal career mentor that help you develop your skills as you go along with the course content. Additionally, the Student Advisors are always available to help with any questions and are very active promoting additional resources, such as the school's Slack channel, onboarding webinars and so. The course is structured to allow students to keep their own learning pace, so I'd say it would be a good fit for those who need some flexibility on their studies. Overall, I can see I've been learning a lot in these past few months and look forward to the next achievements. -

UX Design Course

Overall, Career Foundry has been quite an amazing boot camp. It’s project based so you are constantly practicing what you learn from the reading prompts, which helps everything stick in your mind. Additionally, there are no tests or scores- you just keep refining and submitting an assignment until your tutor approves it. Having a mentor who has direct industry experience is probably the most valuable part of Career Foundry. They are able to fill in the learning gaps and teach you how to apply your projects to real world situations. The only reason this course got 4/5 stars is because there isn’t much opportunity for real-world projects. If you want to do something for an actual company, then you have to make those opportunities and connections on your own. -

UI Immersion

It's a great course. I'm learning a lot - although I would be happy if my tutor and the course materials always said the same thing. The course sometimes doesn't give me the information I need or want. Sometimes information is left out. The way I see it is this: if I have to look at other students' work in order to complete a task, then there's a problem. Looking at other students' work should be optional and it shouldn't have to substitute course material that is not clear or easy to understand.
The other problem I've been having so far has been in trying to keep up with deadlines. The course always seems to be ahead of me no matter how hard I try. I wish there was more time to get projects done.
I'm happy about the content and what I'm learning though. I don't think I ever would have found the information I'm getting at CareerFoundry if I would have tried to find it by myself. But I think the best thing about it so far has been my tutor. It's great to have somebody who can work with me throughout the whole process and give feedback on my work.
I would recommend taking CareerFoundry courses instead of going to college. I've learned more at CareerFoundry in just a few months than in the 3-4 years I went to college for graphic design. Maybe it was just the college I went to - who knows. But that's my advice to anyone who is considering bootcamp or college. -

Great break into Tech-related careers
Read more Read less of Lade's review
I started with CF when I decided to switch careers from Music into Tech. I had ZERO prior experience, and so far, CF is a great break into learning programming and the necessary skills to land a job at the end of the course. I was beyond grateful for the help of the student advisors (working with financial aid), course planning, and mentor support. Additionally, the peer Slack community is a fantastic support system for a newbie like me. -
