Very good and detailed course. My tutor and mentor are both amazing. They always have the answers if I get stuck. I cannot comment much on the job assistance as I am not there yet, but I am sure it'll be a great help in the job search so I give it a good rating in advance so I can submit this review. The only thing is as a feedback (not a negative one tho, just a mention) that CareerFoundry says with 20 hours of weekly work students can submit 2 tasks per week with more hours put into the course even more tasks can be submitted. I think it really depends on the past experience of the students. Students from design background may proceed quicker. I don't have a design background so for me it is a bit slower as some tasks take longer, however it is all great all in all, I am almost done with the immersion and my course project is coming together. Thanks you!! -

I do the UI design course, I am in the middle of the course and so far an amazing experience. Mentors what I can call weekly, tutor who reviews evry task, gives hints and tips. The Plattform is also nice good overview. If there is any problem there is also email support. Overall a great experience so far.

The best choice to study UX Design

I really enjoy my time studying at CareerFoundry. The curriculum has a very good structure, and the knowledge I get when studying here really helped me when I did my UX internship. My mentor and tutor are both very knowledgeable, supportive, and their feedbacks are of high quality. I can feel that they really care about my progress. The student advisor team are also responsive in taking care of my complaints. In conclusion, I warmly recommend CareerFoundry to those who want to learn or even shift career to UX Design. :) -

Honestly great for people with busy schedules || Intro to UI

Really great since I can do things on my time. The only downside I can think of is that you’re not with a class. But there is a “community page” where you’ll see a whole bunch of students in a bunch of different classes asking for help and giving help as well. It’s honestly not that big of a deal if you’re someone who doesn’t need constant contact when learning. Overall though it’s been fun. I’m only finishing up the intro course so I can’t wait to finish the full immersion course. Also fyi I definitely could’ve finished this month long intro course in about 2 weeks, so if you’re someone who likes to “rush through” these things I recommend as well. -

Great course, lots of knowledge in short time!

I'm having a great time doing the course. It's all very new to me but I think they're doing a good job teaching us those completely new things and there's great teamwork in Slack with the other students. I've found friends, I feel great learning new things I never thought I vijld learn. I think maybe some tasks could be clearer in what it really is about but all in all it's going great and I'm excited! -

UX Design course
I really liked the curse. It was thorough and I believe it gave me a very good foundation for a UX career. The only adjustment I'd make is a little bit more interactivity and cooperation - with fellow students, orher stakeholders, even real clients. -

When I decided to change my career, I researched and compared all online boot camps. Then I have decided to take training from Careerfoundry. I have never had any regrets so far, I had some question marks before joining this education about online education, but I can say that the training has been very instructive because it was very well structured and with the invaluable support I received from my tutors and mentors. Although I still have time to finish my course, I have learned a lot already. I can say that CareerFoundry has a great team where you can find support in every aspect and you can be sure that it will prepare you for the sector is a great way before you enter the sector. -

The overall experience with the course is satisfying, as there is only so much you can teach to students in a short amount of time.
I feel however that you course hasn't given me the self-confidence (yet) to be able to write my own codes. As I progressed along the exercises, I was able to understand what the codes do but I don't feel able to write an application by myself.
In the beginning I also had problems with mentor/tutor responce time, especially over the weekends. Right now my tutor is amazing but my mentor's technical support/knowledge could be much better. -

Perfect course for beginner or advanced!

The course I am doing at CareerFoundry is UI Design. I am a graphic designer so I have some experience in the design field already. The course however is aimed towards all people, which is perfect because I get to relearn a few things that might have been in the far back of my mind. I get a refresher every exercise and I learn something new as well. The pace of the course can be as fast as you want it to be, which is great for me because I'm not tied to a desk from 9-5 to do the course. I can easily do it from the comfort of my couch at night or whenever/however I want.
They take feedback seriously. You can leave feedback for anything on the course from the exercise to the tutor or mentor you're assigned. There is always someone there to help you. I am doing the course with a Bildungsgutschein via the Agentur für Arbeit in Germany. And CareerFoundry has helped me through every step of the way in order for me to join the course without having to pay anything myself. I'm most excited to build up my portfolio, for which I will get guidance from my mentor and will be able to build from the exercises I'm doing. They also help you with finding a job afterwards and you can prep yourself with the Job Preparation course they provide once you're halfway done with your course.
I would definitely recommend this school to anyone who is searching for a career change, or wants to skill up in their field. So far I'm very happy with the course. -

I am currently in the UI Design Program and almost two months away from graduating! I had no knowledge or experience in design. I mean, actually nothing. The start of the CF program was a great ease into what UI/UX is and background information of how we apply it in the real world while bringing out my creative talents. The course offers well-organized structure and informative resources along with the best guidance! I am lucky to have a patient, smart, and talented tutor and mentor who has helped me answer any HONEST questions/feedback throughout the course. I am looking forward to the final steps (job hunting, wish me luck!) of the program. -
Sally Ng
Great online program
I'm taking the UX Design program and I really like it. The courses are well-structured and flexible. My mentor, tutor and course advisors are kind and supportive.
I sometimes feel pressured by the end date of the program, but for others it may be a good factor to keep them focused on the study. -

Summer Park
UX design course - The best choice I made!
Read more Read less of Summer Park's review
I started my UX design course at CareerFoundry on March 2021.
I wasn’t sure what I was getting into and wasn’t sure if I was making the right choice.
Upon looking through the options online, I came across CareerFoundry. Not only did they have a great curriculum but also they offered payment options which helped me ALOT to get myself started without having to put time a big chunk of money in the beginning. The associate whom i have phone call with before I made my decision was very nice and walked me through the program. I have spoken to several other program’s associates by that time and each time I felt a little rushed and they almost sounded like they didn’t care much about the struggles I was going through while trying to make which could be a life changing decision. However, with CareerFoundry, i felt welcomed and assured that they will help me every step of the way.
After I made my decision to go to CareerFoundry, i started my program. Unfortunately, I wasn’t 100% satisfied with the tutor I was assigned to. When I shared my thoughts with the Academic Counselor, she re-assigned the tutor which I’m absolutely happy with. This re-assured me that CareerFoundry cares about their students and willing to help out when needed.
I’m very satisfied with my tutor and mentor that CareerFoundry assigned me to.
My tutor is Levi Schubkegel and Mentor is Sagan Markley. Levi gives such a great, insightful and encouraging feedbacks whenever I turned in my tasks and when I ask questions, he gives such a helpful answers and makes it easier for me to understand. My mentor, Sagan, also gives me awesome and encouraging feedbacks whenever I turn in my work. One of the best thing about CareerFoundry is that I get to schedule unlimited phone call meetings with my mentor. I’ve been talking to Sagan whenever I have a chance and I’ve been enjoying every minute of the meeting! Every time I’m in the meeting with her, i get to hear and learn things I wouldn’t have been able to find out myself which I believe is something super important and valuable. She’s also very encouraging which make me feel less overwhelmed with this transitioning.
Courses at CareerFoundry are well-structured and I like the fact that I can go back to the course materials even after I’m done with the program.
I believe that I made such a good decision my choosing CareerFoundry.

Highly recommended!
Read more Read less of Antonio Hidalgo's review
I'm doing the UX design program and I must say I'm learning a lot. My tutor and mentor are amazing, I don't know how they manage to do it but they respond to any of my questions very quickly at any time of the day! So it is even handier than a presential couse.
I'm learning as I am working on a project, it is not just theory, most of the course is about creating your own project. I am learning while creating and while making mistakes, and I think this is the best way. I remember my university days when most of it was studying and taking exams. Here is all about creating a real project.
I must say that sometimes can be hard, you have to put a lot of work into it, but it is completely worth it. My tutor and mentor help me a lot, and with all this hard work I feel confident about my project, it'll be something worth putting in my portfolio.
Again, I recommend the course, just put all your effort into it to take the best of it. -

I did not come from a tech background. The UX Design CareerFoundry course has provided me an outline to learn about many facets of the UX realm, to stay focused on the scope of the course, and encouragement to stay at a constant pace. It is really helpful having each assignment reviewed and graded by a tutor. The mentors are very helpful on providing industry advice. I have only just started the job prep course, but feel that it will be helpful to create a job search strategy, and have a great presentation of my portfolio. Overall I would highly recommend this course. -

Great part-time option for UX
Read more Read less of Leigh Anne's review
I'm half way through my Career Foundry UX Immersion course and really enjoying it. When I was searching for a programme it was crucial that it could be part-time. Career Foundry was one of the few part-time options I found which also offered mentorship and career support. The course platform helps you track how often you need to submit tasks and shows how long they are expected to take. There is a useful Slack community. The tudors and student advisors are very responsive to any questions. The learning is mainly through reading and completing tasks. -

The UX Bootcamp at Careerfoundry provides the right amount of guidance and hand-holding for career changers. I come from an engineering background with no real design experience and I thoroughly enjoyed the course work. It was very hands-on and my mentor during the immersion phase was very helpful. She guided me technically and in a detail oriented manner and encouraged me constantly to find my own style. -

I recommend the CareerFondry course in UX Design. After finishing my portfolio and resume, I submitted my application and got a job in less dan two weeks! I started the program not knowing anything, and now I have become an expert in the field.
Thanks to the course, I felt very confident about myself and the acquired skills during the interview. I am pleased about my new job and ready for bigger challenges! -

Very well organized

I researched a lot of programs - anywhere from degree programs to certificates - and I interviewed people in the industry. So many people working in the industry said getting a "degree" wasn't necessary, and I didn't want to spend 2 years in school. After narrowing down programs with the best reviews and student feedback, and comparing cost among my top picks, I chose Career Foundry. I like that it's a German company because I know German education standards are very high. I like that you have a tutor and a mentor and that a huge component of the program is job placement, which is offered for up to 6 months after the program for grads. It's very well-designed and thought out, easy to follow, and most everyone is very nice. The culture isn't snooty or hipster, it's just - learn and get a job, which was what I was looking for. Very happy with my experience. -

UX Course is Fantastic
Read more Read less of Nicole P's review
I am currently taking the UX Design program and loving it. I love how you are in charge of your own schedule and pace. The course is structured more like a job than school which makes it feel even more authentic. The way they break the material down into readings & tasks makes it much more digestible. The resources provided are fantastic. My mentor and tutor have been so wonderful helping me through the course and providing real world insights so I’m best prepared. Would highly recommend! -

About CareerFoundry or is the 5k euro course worth the money?
Read more Read less of Masha Katsan's review
I moved to Berlin a year and a half ago with 3 years of experience as a UX/UI designer in Ukraine, but this knowledge was not enough to find a job in Berlin. UX is much more important here, so I decided to find a training course to improve my skills.
I found out about these courses when several of the guys who interviewed me were taking them. One of them just graduated and got a very good job, even though his only previous experience was in product design (not the IT field).
The most frequent question: do you like it?
The answer is YES! 🙌🏻
The class consists of theory, a mini quiz, an assignment, and feedback. I have a mentor - takes basic assignments, a mentor - gives feedback on the module, and managers - answer organizational questions. They also added a chat room for 10,000 people [their students and alumni]. A new stream starts every 2 weeks.
Generally, taking the course feels like going to work😬
Tasks are full-fledged, not for 5 minutes, but as it is said in the approximate time of 5-6 hours each. There's a full-fledged workout of the skills you need to work as a UX designer.
But the most valuable thing here is the feedback. The answer is not only you are good, but they can send you additional articles, point you in the right direction, record a video screen with the task parsing. Anyway, every time I'm excited to get messages ✉️ because they improve the work.

Great Decision
Great camp for total beginners like I was. The key is to ask your mentor and tutor every question you can about the field as you go through the course. They’re your biggest cheerleaders. -

The content is incredibly informative. The manner in which it’s presented is great and I love that they provide you so many resources as supplemental reading. And the slack community is great because you can really build your network. -

I am over half way through the course and overall I have enjoyed the experience. Looking forward to the second half with the job preparation course, and finishing up the course project. The 10 month course for individuals who work full-time has been the perfect pace for me and I work over 40 hours a week. -

Review For CareerFoundry
Read more Read less of Dominick Costanzo's review
My experience with CareerFoundry so far has been a great experience. I feel like I’m learning the process into creating good UI design that I would have never learned just looking at random videos on the internet. The assistance of my tutor and mentor has helped me along the way to make my projects better and more cohesive so that they are worthy to be put in portfolio. I’m excited to see more to come as I wrap up my bootcamp. -
Mike
Great first Boot Camp experience!
My first experience of a "boot camp", whilst obviously hard work, is very positive. I'm just over half way through, am learning a lot very, very quickly and have nothing but praise for the organisation, set up and support from my tutor, mentor and the support staff. I look forward to completing it and seeing where it takes me -

Exceeding Expectations
Read more Read less of Lisa Iselin's review
Completely exceeding expectations is the best way I can describe my experience with CareerFoundry, and the fact that I signed up and paid for the course in the first place goes to show that I had pretty high expectations to begin with.
My portfolio, resume, and knowledge are beyond what I had hoped for. If someone had told me that I would walk away from this course with the skills, knowledge, and portfolio that I feel that I currently have, I would have signed up much sooner (or maybe just wouldn’t have believed them)
The staff is incredibly helpful, patient, and friendly. My mentors and tutors were available, encouraging, motivating, and humble. They all provided an environment where I could ask any question (no matter how ridiculous I thought it may have been) and explained in detail all sorts of real-world situations I may encounter. They were there to support me through any and all frustrations and hiccups and worked hard to keep me on track.
My student advisors were always friendly and quick to answer my questions no matter how many I had. At one point I was accidentally given wrong information which put me in a position where I wasn’t going to finish my Job Prep on time. They quickly took responsibility and resolved the issue for me by extending my deadline a week so that I could finish on time.
They do a great job keeping you on track. Between my mentors, tutors, and tracking schedule on my dashboard, CF does a great job helping its students maintain movement throughout the courses allowing them to appropriately pace themselves to ensure reaching their goals by the set deadlines. -

Careerfoundry UI Design Program
Read more Read less of May's review
I'm more than halfway through Careerfoundry's UI Design program and can already say with confidence the courses really prepare you for real-life projects and provides more than enough tools to give you the confidence and proficiency needed to start the job search. Of course, you have to put in the work, time, and motivation to put together a professional portfolio - but all the tools, resources, and one-on-one mentor calls and a tutor are provided to ease you into the process. It's tough, as all self-motivated bootcamp programs, but I want to be prepared with all the foundational knowledge and experience what real-life work projects will involve to feel fully prepared once I start the job search. The support community is phenomenal and you won't ever feel like you're struggling through the programs on your own! -

I'm enjoying my course so far. My tutor and mentor have been really helpful and encouraging and I'm learning loads. Meeting people is a little hard as the course is entirely remote, but I've connected with some other students online. I'm excited to start applying for jobs and feeling optimistic. -

I have genuinely enjoyed my experience with CareerFoundry. Then mentors and tutors are supportive and encouraging and the curriculum I believe will prepare me for a real job as a UX Designer.
