A great UX bootcamp at a great price!

I'm about half way through the CareerFoundry course and am a huge fan!
They offer great knowledge and with professional UX designers as your tutors and mentor you get detailed feedback and advice currently in the industry.
By having a self paced course, I did the online, you can fit it into your schedule as needed and you really get control over your education. I find my talks with my mentor invaluable. Tutors are limited in what they can discuss with you but they have been great as well. You also get other resources and tools to expand your knowledge and portfolio pieces.
I also was a fan of the price it's about half other bootcamps and can receive scholarships and is very much worth the value. They have great connections with alumni and companies which are necessary for the workforce. I also liked their job guarantee with salary. -

Career Foundry is the best in market
Read more Read less of Shraddha's review
I am a UX designer who decided to upskill myself when I moved to the US. I was always interested in the Voice Design industry and wanted to learn professionally. From what I know, Career Foundry is the only boot-camp platform that has a Voice Design course. They are transparent and list out all the details like fees, duration, start date, and syllabus right on their website. There are no hidden costs or terms and conditions. The course is designed in a way that is easy to understand and has actionable tasks. I have an excellent mentor who is always available to solve my doubts and review my assignments. The support team at Career Foundry is professional, making the entire process very seamless. They are always ready to help and do not leave you unguided. I am happy with my decision to join Career Foundry. -

Incredibly supportive, professional community!

I couldn’t recommend CF more! From start to (almost in my case!) finish, each advisor, tutor and mentor I’ve been in contact with has been incredibly eager to support me in my career change. Full of enthusiasm and always ready to support you, it makes such a feat a lot less intimidating. As for content: bite-sized break-up of content that is clear, easily-digestible, accessible and comes with a variety of added, optional resources you can always bookmark and return to. I love that you can see samples of tasks as an overview of what’s expected for each submission. And let’s not forget all the webinars, events, opportunities to network! Learning and growing over this time was made a lot more fun than I imagined, starting out. And it was much-appreciated over the past year. Thank you guys so much for giving me all the motivation to keep striving for better. You’re an awesome bunch! -

What I love about Career foundry is that from the beginning they clarified all my doubts and supported me with all the process. They are a very competent place to learn new things. The Tutors and Mentors are full of knowledge and I love the class content and that I can advance on my own rhythm. -

Data Analytics Program

This program is a good option if you want to change careers and feel lost into where to start your learning journey. I felt overwhelmed by all the online resources, and this program gave me a sense of orientation and discipline. I like the flexibility of the program as it is impossible for me to attend online classes at a fixed schedule. As well, the tutor that I had was very informative and share with me valuable resources to make my learning easier. The Job prep course was one the best things. In the past I had attended a couple of workshops back at university, but this course has an advisor that is almost a 100% committed to give you feedback and prepare you for the job market(this is not easy to find). Overall, the course doesn't cover all the material there is to learn about analytics, but there are always ways to complement that with what you can find online, so this is not a deal breaker for me. At the end, it was a good decision because I have accomplished close to 70% of the course and I have covered most of the fundamental topics required in a job. -

Maybe one of the best courses around?
Read more Read less of Jean Christophe's review
UX Design course at CareerFoundry is probably the most self comprehensive course there is out there in UX design. Out of 4 courses they offer (UX design, UI Design, Data Analytics, and Web Development), UX design is probably the longest. Yes, this is a bootcamp, with all the stigmas that bootcamp have attached to them due to their intensity. Yet, CareerFoundry does a great job at streamlining the learning process in digestible parts, that doesn't make it overwhelming for people with already busy lives. Don't get me wrong, if you want to achieve an outstanding portfolio, you still going to have to put in your grain of salt. But this is not only about the Curriculum, but also about the people who will revise your work along the way. Your tutor, who will review every single exercise, your mentor, who with you have 50 calls booked with, and your Career Specialist, who helps you create your own brand. The support you get is really outstanding.
Just one small con about the course, sometimes assignments can take way longer than expected, for designing my prototype for example, I spent well over 30 hours instead of the 9 hours stipulated in the assignment debrief. It would have taken me much less if I had known how to properly use the tool and how to properly use design patterns. My tutor was helpful on this matter, but it wasn't very well explained on the project. On the other hand, my mentor also had different view on the matter, and in the middle of the assignment I ended up confused on what to do next. I managed to fn=finished it just by sticking to my tutors advice since I needed my assignment to be approved by my tutor in order to continue.
Other than that, the course is great, as it gives you the solid foundation to start in the industry. -

I'm in the new data analytics course and so far I'm glad I took it, because I wanted a new career, and until now it looks effective. I hope the money's worth it! ;D Can't say anything about the success rate for finding a job at this point as I'm just halfway into the course. As it's new I can totally understand that it needs some refining. The flaws which arise are taken out of the way pretty fast because you have so many people to talk to (e.g. mentor, tutor, student advisors, etc.)

My mentor, Neha, in the CareerFoundry career course is wonderful. Neha is knowledgeable in professional branding and development and helped me create a full job application package including a resume, cover letter, UX portfolio and more. She has extensive background experience in recruiting and I am grateful that I was able to have her as my mentor.
On a personal note, Neha is an absolute pleasure to work with. Her encouragement made the job search process fun and the constructive feedback I received made me an even stronger applicant.
I would strongly recommend Neha as an addition on any team or project. She is fantastic! -

UX/UI Design Course

I took and had a great experience with CareerFoundry's 10-month UX design course (UI specialization). The main pros are: in-depth, self-driven courses, mentorship throughout, you come out with 3-4 case studies under your belt, and an active student/alumni Slack community. One of the best things about the program is they set you up for career success with the optional job preparation course. My career specialist, Neha Hurpaul, was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable in helping me refine my LinkedIn profile, resume, and interviewing skills. With her guidance, I landed a role within a month of graduating. I would recommend the course to anyone looking for a UX/UI bootcamp, and definitely make the most of the job preparation course! -
Mario Machado
Career Specialist Review
Working with Neha was fantastic! She was very helpful and supportive during my job search. She always responded to my questions in a timely manner and provided me with the necessary resources to excel during my job hunt and in the field. I would highly recommend her to other students that are enrolled in CareerFoundry. -

Read a text and apply the newly acquired knowledge hands-on to your course project, that's the simple formula of this course. The texts are well-written and easy to understand. You have a tutor who gives you written feedback and a mentor helping you via video call with the bigger tasks. I've learned so much already, pretty amazing. -

I have loved my entire experience with Career Foundry! I decided to sign up for the Full-Stack Immersion course after I completed a Computer Science Minor at my university. I felt like I wanted to take an additional course to fill in the gaps of knowledge from my previous education. Prior to taking the course, I did not feel confident in my full-stack development skills, and now I feel SO much more experienced and have a ton of projects that I can show off! My mentor has been amazing and helped me thoroughly understand difficult concepts. I'd definitely recommend Career Foundry to a friend -

Great mentors and tutors throughout the course
Expansive course tasks with helpful tutor and mentor to guide you along the way. Most of the course materials are relevant to current industry, but it could do some updates so it matches the current industry standard. -

I’m about 2/3 through my UX Design programme and I have nothing but positives to say about the course and CareerFoundry as a whole! Since the beginning, I have felt very supported on a personal level, getting timely feedback on tasks and guidance on the bigger picture as well. The course is geared towards learning practical skills, which I love because I can see directly how my skills will eventually lead to a whole number of future jobs. I can’t wait to finish my course and put my skills to the test in a job! -

I just finish the UI course today. It takes four months to complete the whole course if you do it full time. I am very satisfied with the quality of the content and the methodology, but what I really liked was the fact that a tutor and a mentor support you during the course. -

Make the Move with CareerFoundry Now!

CareerFoundry has made me excited to start my journey in UX Design. They give you a timeline of your courses and help you stay on track by showing your curriculum roadmap, which helps me plan my work schedule, family/social life, and course work.
The content of information is clear and easy to follow. The examples given throughout the lesson help to get a better idea of the concepts taught. I really like how there are periodic videos of a UX designer practice the task. On top of that, there are approved tasks submitted by other students you can use for reference in helping you complete your own task. CareerFoundry really sets you up for success. My tutor's feedback on each of my exercises submitted have always been timely, encouraging, and helpful. He provides me with additional resources should I want more to further my understanding. My mentor has such a great resume and experience that his advice and tips are valuable notes I keep with me. I would recommend CareerFoundry to anyone who is on the fence of learning UX or comparing bootcamps. I'm so happy I moved forward with joining the program! -

What I always wanted out of online learning
Read more Read less of Baylee Sowter-Halling's review
For the first time I actually feel supported in my online learning experience. Other programs/universities have always left me feeling on my own and in the dark, and I’m so thankful to have found CF. The whole team is SO eager to help, and having a tutor and mentor that truly care about their students is an absolute game changer. The program as well as it’s tutors/mentors make you feel like they not only care, but want to (and are) setting you up for success. I couldn’t be happier with my experience so far. -

I'm only mid way through a 10 month course with Careerfoundry, but I'm already finding everything to be informative and industry related. All the support from video meetings with my mentor to messaging my tutor for any help, has proved vital to my success in a career change and sets Careerfoundry apart from the competitors! -
Gaelle
Best decision I made!
Read more Read less of Gaelle's review
I decided to retrain during the pandemic and went with CareerFoundry as their program is very flexible and comprehensive. I needed something I could work on in my own time alongside my full-time job. My background is in Fine Art Print Publishing; even though I had worked with designers for many years, I had very little experience of actually designing myself.
The course absolutely exceeded my expectations: in just about 8 months, I learnt an incredible amount and managed to secure my first job as UX/UI Designer within a couple of weeks from graduating. I'll be starting next month and I'm so grateful I picked CareerFoundry.
The wide-ranging program is split across 2 main parts: Intro to UI Design (to set you up with all the basic principles), and the UI Immersion program, which gets you really deep into the subject with focus on the creation of an impressive portfolio through hands-on project work.
Access to your own tutor and mentor was crucial and excellent. The tutor is on hand for the day-to-day tasks, and the mentor reviews your final projects. You can book regular calls with them to discuss anything from the projects you're working on, the industry, technical tips or just when you're in need for a motivational boost. Those calls were so useful and really helped guide me through it all as the program can be overwhelming at times, they certainly throw a lot at you. But I always felt very supported throughout.
As well as these 2 main parts, you get to pick a Specialisation course with a choice between Animation, Frontend Development or Voice Interaction. I went with Frontend Development as I felt it would set me up as a more 'rounded' designer to understand a little more about that side of things. I noticed many job ads for UX/UI Designers here in the UK required some knowledge of frontend so I went for it. This course was a real challenge for me as I had no prior experience of coding, but again, the mentor was instrumental in getting me through it. The content was overwhelming at times as there is a lot to cover in a short 6-8 weeks course. Having said that, it was truly rewarding to complete it. I may not be a coder, but the skills I acquired with this part of the course made me more credible when it came to talking about my process as a designer when facing the Director of Development for my second interview.
On top of all this, you also get access to the Job Preparation course which is absolutely brilliant. This course gives you all the tools you need to tackle the job market with plenty of confidence. By the end of it, your CV is exemplary, your portfolio is polished, your interview technique is convincing and you know how to write a striking cover letter. You also get access to the career specialist for another 6 months after you graduate so you can get all the support you need as you start to actively seek your first position.
I feel this part of the course was instrumental in making me a strong candidate when applying for jobs, it gave me all the confidence and tips I needed to really stand out from the pack.
Of course things were difficult at times, and it's certainly a commitment. You have to keep motivated but the CareerFoundry platform gives you access to great resources with a brilliant and proactive Slack community where you can get plenty of technical tips, industry advice as well as fantastic networking and career leads. I couldn't recommend this course enough, I'm delighted I took the plunge.

Great online course
One of the best online training I've done in web development. It is certainly not easy and there were many challenges, but with patience, with the help of the support team, my tutor, and of course my mentor, these challenges can be overcome. I would definitely recommend this course to budding web developers who want to learn flexibly and remotely. -

I like the curriculum and the support system (mentor tutor and job advice) , however I wish I could have some. More personal interaction with my tutor, e few face to face communication per video call instead of simply writing with them. -

The course has been all I could have hoped for and more!
It is organised and run incredibly well, enabling me to focus all my attention on the exercises and guidance of my tutors and mentors. I feel that I am being consistently challenged within a highly supportive structure, which provides me with the confidence that I will be more than prepared to take on proper work when the time comes. -

No Regrets!

I'm taking the UX Design course and so far it's been really great! It's been almost three months since I started the program. I'm a career switcher, been in my current career for about 5 years, and UX is an entirely new career for me. Naturally I was very hesitant to sign up due to the risk, the new beginning, the unknown, as well as the cost of the bootcamp. Although other UX bootcamps are much pricier (over 10G!), the cost at CF was still a factor for me. After much much research on my end and speaking with a CF rep, who answered all my questions before being sure I wanted to get started, I decided to take the leap. The job guarantee or your money back, as well as the opportunity to try the bootcamp for 14 days to decide if I wanted to pursue it, were ultimately what helped me solidify my decision. I'm so happy I signed up for CF and I've learned so much thus far.
I will say that if cost is a factor for you as well, and you're good at teaching yourself, there are so many free resources out there and it is not necessary to take a formal class/bootcamp. However, I tried that at first, and if you're like me and need the structure of a curriculum and guidance of a tutor/mentor to be sure you're on the right track, then you may find CF to be very valuable, as I have found it to be.
The flexibility of the program has also been really great, as I'm still working full-time while balancing CF and other responsibilities. Although this has not been easy to do, I know it is worth it.
I rated the instructors a 3, since there are no instructors, but I was unable to move forward with the review without rating it. I also have not yet started the job assistance portion, so I cannot yet speak on that, but I'm very much looking forward to that part.
Feel free to click on the link below to get a discount for your CF program. Might as well take the plunge to sign up and get a discount doing it. :)

Building confidence as a designer

Covid brought a whole lot of new and exciting changes to my life. I became a mom, lost my job, and changed careers all in that timeframe, which was quite a whirlwind.
That being said I’m so glad I chose Career Foundry to help me navigate the UI career field on my path to a new, more stable and fulfilling career. Their UI Immersion course is flexible, allowing me to step away and take care of life’s unpredictable moments, and their staff is super helpful and knowledgeable. The content is engaging and the projects are challenging. -

Amazing online learning experience
Best online school, great learning tools with up to date information. Amazing follow-up and tasks are reviewed quickly. Tutors and mentors are really helpful and give precious tips and feedback. The 1 to 1 call with the mentor and career specialist is one of the greatest advantage in Careerfoundry. Thanks to them to give me such an amazing opportunity for my career change -
Francisco
A solid career foundry
Read more Read less of Francisco's review
I am currently studying at CareerFoundry. Or rather, I am currently in the process of foundry to become a Full-Stack Web Developer. I think the name they chose makes a lot of sense: they take students as if they were raw materials, and mold them through technical knowledge and soft skills to finally produce a professional ready for the job market. Or at least that's what I'm seeing (and of course, what I'm hoping for).
I'll be honest: nothing is perfect. Never trust people who say something is perfect. Even the best university in the world isn't perfect. You will always find something that can be improved: the infrastructure, the study curriculum, the job connections, the way tests are taken, and so on. However, it is always good to make a balance, and in this case in CareerFoundry the good aspects win.
First I will start with the only moderately bad point that I find in CareerFoundry, and that is totally correctable: the course content. The course is divided into achievements. The good thing? To approve each achievement you have to create a web page / web app that you can add to your portfolio and increase your chances of finding a job. The bad thing? There are a couple of poorly explained achievements, outdated (by almost 2 years) and in urgent need of revision and correction.
The course curriculum is very interesting, and I think it allows students to have a solid foundation to go out to the labor market. That's why I say it's a moderately bad side: the study curriculum is great, the projects are wonderful, but in some achievements it's really an odyssey to understand what they ask for (punctually, the achievement 3 that builds the foundations of React).
Don't get me wrong: as programmers we must be prepared to be constantly learning and updating our knowledge. However, it is a bit tiring to have to make use of materials or tutorials outside the course to understand how to do well the requested project, since the contents are a bit outdated or unclear.
At this point, I think CareerFoundry focuses more on UI and UX courses, and web programming is perhaps in second place. UI and UX design are its strong points, of course, but I think it should not forget the web programming course. It would be interesting if every year the curriculum is reviewed and updated. Two years of lag is quite a lot. By the way, a strong point: students can access in lecture mode to the other courses offered. I asked for access to UI and UX. I won't have a certificate, but I will be able to get the knowledge from those courses without paying extra. Wonderful! A bonus point for the foundry.
Now, the whole resume thing takes a back seat when it comes time to communicate with your tutor and mentor. That's CareerFoundry's strong point, and where I'll start talking about the positives it has.
At the beginning of the course you are matched with a tutor and mentor. The tutor will correct each assignment that comes with each chapter of an achievement, and the mentor will correct the final project of the achievement. He or she will make a video, pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of your work. The tutors and mentors are professionals who have a lot of experience, and the feedback is great. And now maybe I should be honest and expose a personal appreciation.
I have been lucky, and probably have the best mentor a web programming student could have. And that is that my mentor not only helps me to perfect my skills with his corrections of my projects, but also encourages me to be better. In CareerFoundry you can schedule video calls with the mentors (I think there are about 12, I can't remember), and I must say that those video calls have helped me a lot. My mentor, a great professional from Vietnam, has given me tips to be a better programmer, he shows me my failures and how I can improve, he encourages me when I have the impostor syndrome and makes me see the good things I have. He lives up to his name: a mentor. He inspires me to be a good programmer and to have hope that, once I finish the course, I will be able to find a job as a web programmer.
By the way, another great thing about CareerFoundry is their job guarantee. If you take the job readiness course with them (which is totally optional), you can access the job guarantee: if you don't get a job within the first 6 months after finishing the course, you get your money back. Sounds great, doesn't it?
However, I don't know if anyone has made use of that guarantee so far. The job preparation course is great: they help you perfect your CV, have a presence on work social networks like LinkedIn, and more. By the way, you are also matched with a mentor. My mentor is great, and the video calls have been really helpful in gaining confidence and improving my job search techniques. I think I will be well trained to give good interviews once I finish the course.
Regarding the price of the course, I cannot say anything about it, because thanks to the AFA I was able to do the course at no cost. It is a great help that you can receive if you live in Germany: a Bildungsgutschein from the Agentur für Arbeit. CareerFoundry is a German Bootcamp, so if you receive a Bildungsgutschein I recommend that you take your course with them, especially if you plan to develop your career in the German job market. In Germany CareerFoundry is quite well known.
Regarding money, I must be honest. Especially because I am a person of solid ethical principles. And I do not know if this message will be removed from this page, since what I will say may go against everything that is usually written here.
Do you want to be a web programmer, but are you poor? Don't you have the financial means to pay for a Bootcamp? Keep calm, I understand you. I come from Latin America, I know how difficult it is to access education. In addition, unfortunately the prices of the Bootcamp are designed for the reality of the first world. However, don't lose hope: you can do it, you just need to stay motivated and get organized. Based on my humble experience, I give you two options.
The first. You're poor? Learn programming through programming tutorials on YouTube, reading the official documentation of the technologies you should learn, creating projects and sharing them on GitHub, actively participating in Stack Overflow. However, do you need certificates to demonstrate what you have learned? In freecodecamp you can get them. The Bootcamp of the poor. And believe me, it has nothing to envy from the curriculum of other Bootcamps: it is the same or probably the best of all that exist, because it is constantly updated and has a whole community behind support. I know it is dangerous to say it, but I must take a risk because I know that not everyone has the means to pay for a Bootcamp.
The second option: you are poor, but you can save a little money each month to pay for a bootcamp. If so, take the web programming course with CareerFoundry. Or what the heck, with some other bootcamp that is cheaper or also has a fair job guarantee. The important thing is that you get out of poverty and can have a decent salary to live a decent life. The only thing that differentiates a paid bootcamp like CareerFoundry (and all the others you can find on this page), from a free bootcamp like freecodecamp, is the mentors and tutors guide. You will be able to receive feedback and, most valuable, advice to be able to enter the labor market quickly and well.
Do you live in the first world, and do you have financial means that allow you to do a paid bootcamp to learn web development? Well, I recommend CareerFoundry. I can't tell you if it's better or worse than the others, since it's my first time doing a bootcamp. I can just tell you it's worth it, for the mentors, tutors, job guarantee, job prep course, and portfolio projects.
I hope to be a little help. I'll update this by finishing the course, and of course when I find work as a web developer.
Happy coding! -

The UI design course takes you right through from introduction to UI design principles, the basics of user interface design and mastering your design tools, to creating your first design portfolio pieces. From here you get immersed in the world of interface design, guided by a tutor and industry professional (mentor). Towards the end of the course you are then asked to choose a specialisation, which where I'm nearly at right now! You can choose from different options, including animation and developing.
I've really enjoyed the course so far, and most importantly, it has been very challenging (it would be odd if it were too easy!). All the people at CareerFoundry are really friendly and they really keep you on your toes and check-in on you regularly to see how you're doing. The main benefit of the course, apart from the written content, is the tutor and mentor focussed learning. You get access to people who really are pros in the industry and they will properly and honestly help you with your work.
You also get career guidance and support from a specialist, which is where I'm at at the moment, and again they are really helpful and friendly.
So far so good for me! It is a lot of work, and you will have to put the time in, but I do feel as though I'm getting somewhere. I suppose it's also worth adding that I'm a complete new-starter to design! -

I am a UX design student at CareerFoundry and I must say the course is designed so well in order understand the UX design concept and make students ready to work in the industry. Tutors and mentors are too highly qualified and always available. They make sure that you do not just submit a assignment but to do a quality work .Mu tutor and Mentor review each and every line of my assignment and correct me wherever I am not up to the mark and moreover give me tips also for future designs.I have learnt a lot,Thank you so much CareerFoundry ! -

It is a very well-designed course with a great approach to presenting material. The material is extensive and covers all important aspects. The course is divided into Achievements and at the end of each Achievement you have a project to add to your portfolio (5 projects in total). You get a Mentor who reviews your projects (and you can book weekly video calls), and a tutor who reviews your daily tasks. The latter unfortunately doesn’t leave much comments on your exercises and just makes sure you stick to the task given, which sometimes makes you re-do lots of stuff at the end if the project, when you mentor finally reviews it. -

Great mentoring!

I chose CareerFoundry due to its balance of cost/program length/provided resources and I must say that I think it has been a great value so far. But like most things, you get out what you put in.
Obviously due to its nature as a bootcamp it is somewhat limited in scope, but where this program shines is in it’s provided mentoring. I see the provided readings/exercises as a great starting point, then delve deeper with my mentor to really understand real world applications of my new knowledge. I truly recommend taking full advantage of the numerous (99) mentor calls provided with the course.
I speak with my mentor every week, he’s very knowledgeable and I can tell that he’s eager to help me learn and grow.
I’m about 2/3 of the way through my immersion course and am honestly engaged with the app I’ve been building through the course. am looking forward to the specialization course that will follow and plan to make full use of the Job Prep course as well. (I’ve left job assistance neutral at 3stars as I haven’t reached that point yet) -

To anybody that is looking to change their career or go down the UX Design road, I would highly recommend CareerFoundry. From start to finish I have been supported throughout my course. Although I am at the early stage of my UX career, I feel very confident that the skills that I have learned, are to a very good standard in this industry.
The material provided was easy to follow and there was plenty of reference material. And if that was not enough, there are tutors, mentors, advisors, a slack community and other students that were willing to help at the drop of a hat.
All in all, a fabulous experience with an organisation that is well structured.
I do have one request and this probably applies to all! It would be great to see how accessibility is applied to design at the very early stages of the design thinking process. We are all aware of the lack of accessibility in today´s society and courses like this and any other, are creating the designers of the future. It is imperitive that change is made by designers, businesses believe there are too many challenges, designers will provide the solutions, rant over :-)
Wish you guys all the best and will certainly be looking at other courses in the near future.

Great course!
I’m a little more than halfway through the course and it’s going great. From my tutor to my mentor and my student advisors, everyone is such a great help with my course work!
