CareerFoundry is great

I'm currently enrolled in CareerFoundry's full stack web development program.
All of the learning is on-demand, and you are provided a tutor to review daily tasks and a mentor to review projects and have regular Skype calls with.
The program is time flexible, so you can work whenever and how many hours you want at any pace with internet connection you want. What is the biggest plus for me.
I'm just half-way through the course, so I haven't yet started my job search, so I can not comment on the job assistance. Since I was starting with programming and web development from the scratch, I am very satisfied with the program and the way of teaching, committing and developing the necessary skills that be needed in me is fitting so perfect to me and my situation. -

The platform which Career Foundry is providing is amazing for people like me who don't have any background or knowledge of this field. I am really enjoying the course material and the tasks. The tutor and mentor always help you and guide you whenever you need them. Also my experience with student advisors is amazing as they will help you in every possible ways. I would definitely recommend this course to someone who is looking for a career change or wants to become a UX Designer. -

The course is separated into two modules, Intro to UX and UX Immersion Course. I'm now almost through half of the UX Immersion Course and my experience is so far great! The two things I like the most are the flexibility to work on my own schedule, but of course respecting the deadlines, and the support from the tutor and mentor. Even though is an online course, you receive actual feedback and personalized mentoring.
I truly recommend this course, especially if you are able to have your own schedule (without the need of someone always reminding you), can work by yourself, and can keep up with deadlines. -

I am half-way through my UX course with Career Foundry and I'm so happy I found this program. Self-paced and fully remote, this has been the best choice for me, as I can still work while completing my program. My tutor has proved to be very helpful, so that I always feel that I have support. Would recommend! -

UX Design Program Review

The UX Design Program is a great way to learn the process of UX design! The material is very in-depth and very applicable to what I would be doing in this field. The mentors and tutors are very professional and are quick to offer help. Getting help from people that are already working in UX design is very beneficial. The only thing I would change or suggest is adding some more details to the expectations for the tasks at the end of the exercises. Sometimes, how to get to the objectives of the tasks is not clear. Overall, this has been a great experience and I look forward to my continued learning through CareerFoundry! -

Relevant In-depth Content
CF course material is relevant to today's world and work as a UX designer. They walk you through the whole design process, preparing you for work after the ccurse. Tutors and mentors are a wealth of knowledge and genuinely excited to help students in their learning journey. -

Data Analytics
Read more Read less of Whitney LaValle's review
This course begins with a 4 week intro course as an intro to analytics, then dives into a 55-task immersion course. I am closing in on the halfway mark, and have been very impressed so far. The lessons are broken into manageable pieces and I feel very competent in each subject once I finish a section. I am nearing the end of the Tableau work (10 exercises) and I feel confident I could make a Tableau dashboard in a professional environment. My mentor and tutor provided have also been great and been readily available for any questions, whether that be the course material or the industry of data analytics itself. Overall, I was very nervous to do a bootcamp as it is completely uncharted territory for me and CareerFoundry has made me confident in my decision. -

After reviewing many Ux program I finally landed in choosing CF. So far it has exceeded my already good expectations. I have the community of other fellow students, my mentor and tutor to guide me with their professional experience. They give me great feedback that I truly grow from and to better and better all the time. Sure, there are times when it’s hard to stay motivated. But just reach out the the community or your tutor to help you get back on track. I like that I can work part time and still have time for my studies. I also like how the program is built with easy to understand time lines, achievements and goals. I recommend this school and I’m happy that I choose it to help me make a career change, -

Top-notch UX Design Experience

Although the course is super intense and demanding (and I honestly mean it), I consider it one of the best educational choices I have made. I tried some other UX courses in the past; however, they all missed one thing: STRUCTURE.
The amount of support you receive in order to succeed is enormous, and I am saying this as a newbie in the field. I appreciate the information and the instructions delivered and the proficiency and friendliness of my tutor, mentor, and the entire CF community. I can honestly recommend it to anybody who wishes to change his professional path. -

Honestly the best decision I have made! The course is in depth and it always gives you extra stuff to read if there are some hungry of knowledge folk. My tutor and mentor are super helpful as well always happy to help and making me feel industry ready with each feedback and meeting. I have met some wonderful people that I call friends and all that in the comfort of my own home. Highly recommended! -

The CF UX Design Program is amazing!
The CareerFoundry UX design program is an amazing program in many ways. The course content is organized and engaging, but not overwhelming. The tutor and mentor who were provided to me by the program are both fantastic and make the cost of the program worthwhile. -

I have had a great experience at CareerFoundry. I loved every minute of learning and interacting with my mentors who really guided me. You never really feel left out even if it's fully remote. The instructors are very professional and clear in their guidance. At the end of the my UX courses I even had access to their Career Preparation cours that helps me land a great job! Thank you all for the help! -

Great experience!

I started the course with many doubts, it was an unexpected decision after obtaining my degree in Industrial Design. It was a time of many changes for me so I didn't know if I could really keep up with the course and if it was worth the effort. Today I can say that I am more than happy not only with the way the course is developed and the dynamics of the content, but also for the support I really receive from the teachers and the motivation that this causes me day by day! I think I really made the right choice and I have high expectations to graduate and start this career that I fell in love with in such a short time! Thank you CareerFoundry for the opportunity and the fulfillment! -

James Rocks!!
I am enrolled in the UX design course with Career Foundry. James and the rest of the team are absolutely fantastic! They are all extremely helpful and highly motivating. The course is challenging but you will learn so much along the way and the crew and other students are always there to help you! I cant recommend this enough! -

I am super happy to have come across CareerFoundry!! At CF I feel like I am in professional hands with my goal to become an attentive UX Designer. The work is not a walk in the park, but it's worth it! In addition to all these tasks, my portfolio grows almost incidentally. CF is somehow always one step ahead of me and that drives me! -

It took me a while to sign up for this course and I am glad I did it, I am now half way done with the course and so far I have been really enjoying it.
What I like the most about the course is that its self-pace, it requires a lot of self discipline and time management of course since I am working full-time but once I got the right structure everything is doable. I also really appreciated the help and support from my mentor and tutor.
I find it fascinating how my mindset and perspective evolves during the course (for the better of course) and I am really glad I made the decision for join the data analytics program at Career Foundry.

The course is amazing. The material is really easy to follow, resources will be always recommended in the end of each lesson or by your tutor (I don't have always time to go through them all), and you feel really supported (it's mostly casual but professional).
My advice for anyone interested; read some of the articles on Careerfoundry's blog or watch some of the videos on YouTube channel (make your own research) to find out if you are really interested in the course subject, and take advantage of the free 7 days course that Careerfoundry provide for anyone who is interested. This is exactly what I did; a week of research and on the 3rd day of the free course I applied. I'm having great time, and enjoying the course while working a full time job. -

Upon writing this please note that I have completed more than 75% of the course and have NOT done the job preparation course yet.
Without further ado, I would like to say that it has been a neat experience. I was originally a medical assistant and was prehealth for some time but due to life, decided I wanted a job where I could work from home potentially so hence UX Design came up.
The cost I believe is fairly reasonable compared to other programs I checked out (General Assembly and Uc Berkeley’s UX program) and also the most flexible for me (self pace program) and there was a part time option which I did.
Starting the course was a bit rocky for me because I had no experience whatsoever but thankful for my mentor and tutor. My tutor actually was then one that really gave me great feedback and great resources after each assignment. I was bummed out that he switched halfway through my program but that was because he got promoted to Mentor so that’s awesome!
Curriculum is not too hard but will take work. I personally would read through the material and take notes so that I could review them later or wherever I was. The only down side was that the project you work on is not actually solving a real company’s problem so it’s not a real live world project but it’s super helpful to go through the design process. Personally, I’m learning a lot about the nitty gritty details are of UX Design this way since i can focus more on learning than doing but it depends on what you like.
I also learned a lot of programs and CF al offers discounts on certain programs like Balsamiq and Adobe XD ( Among some others).
Overall, I would say it’s a great program if you have the time and are looking to get your feet wet into the UXDesign. Since it is selfpace and self study, motivation is greatly needed. Thankfully there is a CF slack channel that gets lively! -

I'm finishing my UX course at CareerFoundry and it definitely worth its money and all the effort. They built the whole journey based on the experience of the potential students. Starting with the articles in the blog, when you're in the wondering phase what to do and which way to go; to tutor and mentor, who are very helpful and motivating; to curriculum, which is written in very friendly and comprehensible language; to the vast community from all over the world; to own paced studying; to the Job guarantee option, where if you don't find a job in 6 months after the end of the course they will refund you the money. What else you would need? -

I am close to the middle of this course, so far I have covered some Excel and Tableau. What I like the most about this program is that every single thing that is covered, is linked to a project that I need to create and submit for review. Then I get feedback on my work and anything I need to change or work on in more detail.
The only thing I would like to see is more videos embedded in the lessons. Sometimes it is easier for me to watch a video and then repeat the steps because this way I know (visually) where and how I need to do things. When I read things and it is more difficult to translate words to a visual that I need to figure out on the program that we are working on...
I love to feel that there is always someone that I can communicate with, and they are interested in helping us! -

From Bootcamp to Web Developer
Read more Read less of Rose's review
CareerFoundry exceeded my expectations for a web development bootcamp. I took their free web dev short course to get a feel for the program and never looked back. The curriculum is thorough and well-structured, challenging but doable, and it's not an exaggeration to say the course changed my life.
I was interested in the CareerFoundry course specifically because you have access to mentorship, and that made all the difference for me. My tutor went above and beyond, and I felt consistently supported by the entire team, program and all of the resources they made available. As someone who was convinced they couldn't learn to code, this was invaluable.
I'm now building websites for a local firm and have started a freelance business. Highly recommend CareerFoundry! -

The entire Career Foundry team that I have been fortunate enough to work with has been so helpful, and kind. This is a completely new experience for me, and the first time in a while I have pushed myself to learn something new of this level. -

The complete package

CareerFoundry provides a remarkable curriculum. Well-balanced content with the dual mentor-tutor system, which is very helpful to guide the students and provide different points of view to advance in the coursework. The course starts covering the basics in the Introductory course to gradually level up to highly specialized content. Highly recommendable for those who may want to make a career change or broaden their studies. -

Great UX design Course
It has a great circular. We can get 2-3 projects from the bootcamp. I love my tutor and mentor. They provide a great feedback and resources to make us industry ready. It also has Job preparation course, which is included in the bootcamp. Overall, a great Return for the money.
