I FINALLY feel seen!

I never thought I would be able to finish a program (let alone an online one) but CareerFoundry proved me wrong. I have been in and out of college for the better part of a decade and it just never stuck for me. I really thought something was wrong with me and that I would never be able to vamp up my resume or be taken seriously. CareerFoundry has the perfect approuch for people who learn best with hands on assingments and diving into projects where you are taking away so much more than any classroom enviroment would offer. My self esteem is the highest its ever been and I feel confident CareerFoundry is giving me all the things I never thought I would have. If you are like me and have given up on learning, this is the porgram for you. -

Great Structure for Learning & Growing

CareerFoundry has provided a wonderful learning environment for me. All of the advisors, and my tutor and mentors have been so helpful and encouraging through the challenging process of learning a new set of skills for a new career. All of the content feels like information that will actively help me when I enter the field, and the job preparation has made me feel more empowered and less petrified of the job hunt. Overall, I have really enjoyed my experience with CareerFoundry and would definitely recommend it! -

Amazing experience
I stepped out of my comfort zone and signed up for CareerFoundry not knowing what to expect. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!
The course work, tutors, mentor, and student advisors made me feel supported and equipped. I highly recommend CareerFoundry! -

The Robin to my inner Batman

Just recently I graduated from CFs UX Design course and found myself surprisingly melancholic when it ended. My experience at CF was challenging. Learning independently became a struggle around 60% of the course. The openness my tutor, mentor and everyone in the many slack channels showed, encouraged me to share my fears, recieve help and get through the toughest moments. The work needs to be done well, there is no way around it when learning a new craft. Yet, the environment can influence the progress a great deal. At CF I felt in good hands and inspired to not just do well but thrive and give it my best. This gentle push and being held accountable shaped the perspective on my new career immensely. I feel well prepared for what's about to come :) -

Highly Recommend CareerFoundy

I've taken other Bootcamps and CareerFoundry is by far the BEST!
I'm currently taking the UX design course and I'm highly impressed with how organized their curriculum is. It was also designed to keep you on track. After every lesson, you are assigned a task that is reviewed by your mentor who in return gives you generous feedback.
Trust me their feedback is NOT generic. You really get valuable feedback that tests your understanding of the lessons.
Now, what I love most is that have weekly video calls with your mentor and from there you can get immediate feedback on anything you are struggling with.
Again, this is one of the BEST online courses I've taken so far and definitely worth the money. -

CareerFoundry (CF) gives you the confidence to learn new set of skills without any prior knowledge. I like the course structure and the individual attention every students gets. CF provides a great set of highly skilled tutor and mentors (course and job prep mentors) who help us reach our goals. I am very happy and never regret the decision of joining CF. Highly recommended to join CF :-) -

Data Analytics Review!
Read more Read less of Carolina Zea's review
I've done my research on boot camps in the US to overseas, and the CareerFoundry team gave me the confidence to enroll in the data analytics program, from the start of CareerFoundry representative to help me to pay for the program. The tutors are really helpful and always give feedback to improve your work. I haven't seen that with any other boot camp. I made the right choice for my career and I really proud of what skills I will be achieving after the course finishes. -

Intro to Data Analytics
Great intro to basic concepts - tasks build on each other in a logical way and material is presented clearly - Excel heavy, which is fine as there really isn't any time to get into any other programs. -

The guides are nice, and sometimes a little bit densed. Maybe more video tutorials would be awesome! Screen recordings really help a lot, but there are not in some exercises and with those some doubts are easier to clear. -
Vidya Ramprakash
Amazing learning experience!
I am currently enrolled in the UX Design program at CareerFoundry. Here, you are not flying solo. You have an entire support team comprising a tutor, a mentor, a career specialist and student support team working with you. I would recommend this to anyone looking to build a solid foundation in UX Design! -

Hi, I'm a student in the CF UX design course, now I completed more than 75 % of my courses and I really like the curriculum so far, it very informative and concise within extra great resources, having a mentor and future to help you through your learning journey is very valuable things for a student, the platform very intuitive and easy to learn and I feel more confident to like out a career in this field. -
Eduardo Renteria
UI Designer/Program
The program is great and very flexable. I like the fact that you get to work at your own pace because although I am in the program I also have 2 part time jobs. Other programs did not offer this. I also like the fact that you always reach out to your personal mentor or tutor for help and feedback. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn and get a career in UX or UI. -

Professional & Effective
Since before I even enrolled, the entire CareerFoundry staff and community have been incredibly communicative, professional and supportive. Their mentor model has allowed me to feel supported as I undergo this career shift and helped me hone in on what I bring to the table in this developing industry. I could not be happier with my choice. -
John L
So far so good!
Im currently a full time student for the UI design course and so far it's been going great! My tutor and mentor are always willing to help and wants the best for me when to my portfolio. My only critique is for the UI design course I would like to see more information in video format. Other than that, the course is giving me more confidence in my skills to transition into the UI/UX field. -

A great user experience!

I'm taking UI design course on CareerFoundry. I'm very happy that I made the right decision to expand my career.
It has been a great user experience in my study since the course is well organised, and all information is carefully represented. I never felt lost, which unfortunately happened to me when I took another online course from a different school.
I like my tutor and mentor and its system. They encourage me a lot and give me helpful insight to improve my design.
I'm not a native English speaker, and I was worried about my English skill fo the beginning. But once I get used to reading a lot (most of the course materials are written base), I feel more comfortable and enjoy it a lot. Maybe I'm just an old school person, though. If you prefer video materials, maybe you should look for something different.
Lastly, just one thing, I had a slight problem with the different version of the application (Sketch). The interface design was different from the course material, and I got stuck there. I asked the tutor, but it seems that he didn't know about it. Except for that, everything is great so far, and I'm looking forward to working on future projects and complete the course. -

Changing careers, best decision of my life!

The pandemic gave me the chance to stop and think where I was heading with my professional life. UX design was something that had always fascinated me, but I had never pictured myself in the tech world. Unhappy and stuck, I did lots of research and CareerFoundry seemed to be the best option to take the leap into this new world. The course is clearly structured, the more you put in in terms of work, the more you get back. Sometimes it's not easy, but the support system you have through your mentor and tutor is invaluable. I would do it all again, I love the course material and the fact that it's hands on practice, not just theory. Highly, highly recommend! -

Deb's review

I am reviewing the experience I am having so far at the CareerFoundry Bootcamp, UX Design, full time.
So far I have mixed feelings since I hoped that I will never have to change the tutor or the mentor, but exactly that was the case.
Starting from reviewing the beginning, the Intro course, I felt like it was a bit overwhelming, the tasks and the deadline. It feels like you get thrown in the cold water but in the end if you are focused and dedicated enough, it is doable. It is such a pity though that at some points you tend to "just get the task done in time" instead of taking your time to study all the given content and also have a look at all the additional resources offered. Also in the first weeks, due to the time pressure, it is difficult to connect with fellow students.
All these aspects get better as soon as I started with the immersion course. You get used to the pace.
For the samples given at the end of each exercise, that shall show you how other students did that particular tasks, it happens to find examples that are not correct, therefore misleading, at least this is the impression I got quite a few times when confronting the tasks with the categories of the requirements. I am by no means qualified to evaluate the examples shown, but sometimes you can really see that something is missing or clearly not as required. This is confusing when you want to refer to them as well done examples.
As for the change of tutor, one day I just got an email from the support team telling me about the change after there was an issue with the tutor, but the email was very vague, and I didn't expect that, nor I had the chance to discuss that with the tutor itself. So, i was left there with a new tutor and without knowing if the first tutor decided not to follow me anymore and what I maybe did wrong. Respecting everybody's privacy is crucial, but that could have been handled differently.
I just started the 3. achievement recently so for now, I have no further feedback.

Best choice
I'm very satisfied about this course (UX designer).
When I started I had no experience in the field.
I wanted to change my career path and it was the best choice.
I like the learning by doing approach, I'm actually learning a lot.
My mentor is super nice and very helpful.
I can't wait to start my first job in the UC field! -

As the title reads, so far so good! I enjoy each exercise, even when I’m a little stressed! I feel challenged in a healthy way and I’m learning so much.
My Tutor/Mentor are great and everyone is super friendly and the responses are fast and helpful.
I would only update the Sketch “explanations” considering that they belong to an older version. And maybe update few articles that are a bit old
For the rest I’m loving it, vibing m, learning and I can’t wait to learn more and work in the field ((: -

UX Design Program: Practical + Amazing Mentorship
Read more Read less of Emily's review
I am part way through the UX Design Program with CareerFoundry. The structure of the course is great. In the first month, you do an "Intro to UX Design": a top-level exploration of everything you're going to learn in the course. You get to develop user interviews, user personas, build wireframes, interactive prototypes, testing etc. But it's not until the immersion part of the course that you dig deeper into each area, and consolidate your learning. This program presents all information in an easy to understand way. There is written text, example videos, additional readings, exercises, quizzes - but most importantly - fantastic mentors and tutors. While you need a lot of self-discipline to complete the work - my mentor has been so motivating, helpful and just generally great to talk to. We have regular video calls, and I always feel inspired afterwards (and clearer about what I'm supposed to be doing). I find it challenging to get through the work - but it is so interesting, and I feel like CareerFoundry could not be more supportive in helping you achieve your goals. The Slack community is also excellent - I have learnt so much from current and past graduates - and it's a great way to network. Would definitely recommend this course to others. -

I was on the Ux Design course and coming from a UI Design Background. After the course and while Covid, I found two Jobs. The first one was a UX UI Design Role in a small Agency but it doesn’t fit with me and the second one is a Junior Product Design Role at SinnerSchrader - Part oft Accenture Interactive where I work since March 2021. -

UX Immersion review

CareerFoundry was my choice for a career change. Due to Covid-19, my professional occupancy was no longer viable and the time came to take a leap.
Never I felt lack of support either from the Students Advisors, and specially from my Tutor and my Mentor. I finished my course 5 months ahead of time, which allowed me to find a job sooner than expected.
The curriculum is broad and covers very deeply all the aspects of UX. I would just introduce a few lessons about UI, specifically software learning. Some tasks require UI skills that will have impact on a future portfolio.
If at any given point of my career, I find myself looking for a specialization course or just to keep updated, CareerFoundry will be definitely my first choice.

I enrolled in the UI Design course of Careerfoundry on December 2019 and I finished up the Bootcamp in December 2020, while working full-time.
In the beginning, I was afraid not to be good enough because I have never studied design before the course, and I didn't have any experience in the field, but as soon as I joined the Bootcamp I met many people all over the world like me, and I received all the support I needed from my tutor, my mentor and my career coach, too.
With the course, I learned how to do UI and the fundamentals of UX Design while developing my own projects, continually receiving feedback from my committees, tutor and mentor.
It has been a very long journey, of course, I happened to lose motivation but I tried to do my best and keep myself concentrated without losing my scope: change my career.
In fact, 3 months after finishing the course, I received 2 (!) job offers from different companies. Now I have a job I love, and I am gaining more money than before. I also gained more free time having more flexibility and a remote-friendly job. :)

My experience at CareerFoundry has been great! A caring onboarding team made the registration process quick and easy! My tutor and mentor have been a wealth of knowledge and encouragement. I am enrolled in the UI Design course and I've been enjoying every lesson, learning as much as I can, submitting tasks, learning from my mistakes, and completing my achievements. I am excited to see where my CareerFoundry journey takes me! -

CareerFoundry is a phenomenal bootcamp that got me hired before I finished the program. I came into the program with some previous education and some volunteer experience. I learned far more in my time with CF than I had in years of self-study. Having a clear, concise, and well thought out curriculum made all the difference. In addition the CF slack community helped me make great connections and relationships. I was hired through their slack community job board around halfway into the program and their curriculum has already been invaluable on the job. My mentor and tutor were both incredibly encouraging and helpful. -

I had a great experience with CareerFoundry. The online lessons were easy to follow, yet very informational and relevant. They assign you a tutor and a mentor, which I found to be very helpful to bridge the gap of online learning. I learned so much more than I would have on my own. I also elected to do the career prep course which they offered at no additional cost- this I found to be beneficial in building my portfolio, resume, and confidence in starting my new career. I am happy to say, that because of CareerFoundry, I was able to begin a new career in UI. -

CareerFoundry are true pros!
In a bid to upskill I did some research and felt that Career Foundry stood apart from the competition. Never have I enjoyed online learning this much and they excel in all areas - content, course quality, interface and student support are all spot on. -

Best decision enrolling with CF

The course with careerfoundry is outstanding, everything needed to prepare for being a UX designer is covered. There is very valuable feedback provided throughout from both a tutor & a mentor. Although it is possible to work at the pace most suitable, there is a great progress bar alongside time passed on the course, to ensure you never fall behind. I have really enjoyed working on the projects so far, and I will be very prepared, with a polished portfolio by the end of this course. -

Great course content. So many articles and resources provided on the side to increase your skills. Learning system is quite interesting as it encourages you to apply what you have learnt on every lesson while building a larger project. -

A learnable, multitasking and comfortable course that allows students to push their skills to the maximum and enrich their curiosity day after day. Apart from the rich and understandable contents, apart from the right way of teaching (step by step and with a lot of practice) I fell in love with the people around this course: always willing to improve your work with passion and always willing to make you feel welcome in the family ... This vibration generates the best wave to find connections, it makes you want to learn and be part of this fantastic world. -

I'm really learning a lot with the UX course. Getting out of my comfort zone is not easy. I'm 27 years IT person and changing the direction of my professional life is not only a challenge but it's a necessity for me because I see my area struggling because of the same ideas for so long. UX is a new, refreshing, and very appealing area that I'm investing time and money and I believe it's worth it.
