CareerFoundry gives you all the tools you need to be successful.
Read more Read less of J.F.'s review
So far, my bootcamp experience has been a lot to take in. At CareerFoundry, they provide numerous tools to help you succeed, but it’s up to you to make the most of them. The content is thorough, and the tutors always respond to my questions and review my work within 48 hours. My mentor does the same and takes the time to assess my work, offering valuable guidance. With over 10 years of industry experience, I make sure to listen to her advice.The bootcamp also offers a Slack channel, which is quite active. However, the forums on the CareerFoundry website are not very lively, at least for my program. With so much information available, it can be challenging not to feel overwhelmed. I find it easier to manage by taking it one day at a time and doing my best.Although I am only halfway through the bootcamp, I am optimistic that I will secure a job and start my new career soon after completing it. If anyone is contemplating whether to join the bootcamp, I would say you probably should. -

I started CareerFoundry's UX Design course a few months ago and found it to be a transformative experience. The curriculum is well-structured, covering all essential aspects of UX design through a balance of theory and practical projects. The mentorship model is exceptional, pairing each student with an experienced professional for invaluable feedback and guidance. The flexible online platform allows for self-paced learning, making it ideal for working professionals. The supportive community and comprehensive training make this course an outstanding choice for aspiring UX designers. -

Challenging but rewarding

After completing the Full Stack Web Development program and sharing my portfolio with a few people that I personally know in software, I'm confident that I am ready to start my career in the tech industry. Their approach of learning by doing is perfect for me. I started off struggling with javascript, mainly functions, but by the end of the course it was like adding 2 plus 2. My tutor John has made me so confident now in troubleshooting my own code, something that was very daunting at first. Everyone else that I ever came in contact with from the careerfoundry team were also very helpful and always messaged me back in a timely manner, often times the same day. Overall I would recommend this same course to others who are trying to make a career change into tech like I was. -

Too repetitive but useful
After a while I get tired of reading so much, I wish you had more videos. I also don’t get the point of mentors besides reviewing projects. I understand that they’re about “the bigger picture” but I actually don’t know what to ask them about -

Super supportive and great teaching

I’ve found that Career Foundry is all round so supportive. They answer my questions within 24 hours each time and have given me all the advice and support I could need. Resources are abundant and every little thing you could be curious about is answered and if not, given an article to where it’s answered. I’m having a great time learning from this course. I’m taking the UI/UX course and couldn’t recommend it enough. -

Expert Guidance, Minor Tweaks Needed: My CareerFoundry Experience
Read more Read less of Avishek Chatterjee's review
Pros: CareerFoundry offers excellent tutor and mentor guidance, with timely and constructive feedback that significantly enhances the learning experience. The course content is thorough and covers a wide range of digital marketing skills through well-designed projects.
Cons: The AI Explain feature doesn't always function properly, and while the yellow highlight tool is a helpful addition, it can be buggy and sometimes doesn't disappear as expected.
Suggestions for Improvement:
1. Communication with student advisors and the Bildungsgutschein team could be improved. The current system, relying on Zendesk tickets or email, is slow and feels overly administrative. Implementing a chat feature within the portal for these purposes, similar to the chat features for mentors and tutors, could streamline communication and make it more efficient.
2. Additionally, Achievement 2 in the course could benefit from restructuring. It should be divided into two separate segments for SEO and email marketing. The current structure feels overwhelming, with tasks that are too demanding and could lead to burnout. Breaking it down would make it more manageable for students. Moreover, allocating a small budget for a paid keyword research tool would ease the process, as most free tools lack the necessary features to perform comprehensive keyword research. -

Great course with easy to follow step by step learning process!
What i particularly liked about the course is that it has large number of heads on projects.I was offered data sets and easy to understand, very detailed guidelines to follow along.
The projects are exploring number of different topics such as use of data analytics in healthcare or business.
Tutors are very helpful and fast to reply,
Plus,they provided me with a lot of useful information that helped me to understand topic more deeply.Very exciting and heads on experience.

Engaging UX Design Student Experience

I'm halfway through CareerFoundry's UX Immersion section and thoroughly impressed with the well-structured and comprehensive curriculum. The deep dives into practical design skills like user research, wire-framing, and prototyping have been incredibly enriching. The hands-on projects and personalised mentor feedback have helped me solidify concepts in a real-world context. While the pace can be challenging, especially while juggling other commitments, it's manageable and keeps me engaged. Overall, I'm building a solid foundation as an aspiring UX designer, thanks to the ample support and resources.

Learning a lot!
I've been learning a ton from the CareerFoundry Full-Stack course. I've only been at it for a few months, and I already feel comfortable with basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, even though I had VERY little experience before I started. The tutors and mentors give great feedback, and I love that I can study at my own pace. -
Estella Pütsep
Flexible and comprehensive
Overall, I am really glad I chose CareerFoundry UX design course. It offers flexible learning option and it is very comprehensive. I would definitely recommend it if you want to get support from mentors and tutors and a well-structured learning path. -
Megan mcginley
Wish college was taught this way.
Honestly, I think college and university should be structured this way. You apply what you learn after each lesson to create a portfolio to be able to present on future job applications. Lots of support available not only for what you’re learning but also during your career search. I would highly recommend careerfoundry. I wish I did it sooner! -

Growth at own pace
Read more Read less of Kara Evans's review
I liked that I could move at my own pace with this course. There were some sections that I needed to spend more time on and there were moments when I needed to take a personal break. My first tutor fell behind on reviewing my tasks which set me back a bit, but CareerFoundry assigned me a new tutor right away after I contacted them. Second tutor, mentor, and career specialist were attentive and helpful. They made this process so much easier and were very uplifting. There are a lot of resources provided and I did my best to take advantage of all of them. I feel like this was worth the money and a great deal compared to other programs. -

Career foundry Data Analytics bootcamp is very nice. They learn us basic to advance level knowledge. I'm half of the way in the course but I get so much knowledge.

Enjoying the UX Design Course
Worth investing in a course vs. wasting time trying to create a curriculum myself! Enjoying being a part of the CF community and meeting people in the field. The additional job search course has also benefited me greatly; I can use those exercises and tasks to benefit me in whatever stage I’m in within my career. -
Abbie Lin
It was a great learning journey ever

Immersive and Independence

My time with this boot camp has been great, the program is pretty detailed and gives you the time to learn a lot of different skills that you'll be able to use in the workforce. I have such a great tutor and mentor, both are individuals who clearly want me to succeed and do my best. Whenever I need help, it's easy to get in contact with my tutor or to reach out to peers taking the course with me. I enjoy the independence the program offers as it encourages students to use problem-solving skills as you would in the real workforce. -

Career Foundry Review
It has been truly great so far. It is so much more than I expected and I am so happy I went with the decision to pull the trigger on taking this step forward. I thank the people at career foundry for helping me out through this entire time, I have had no inconveniences, truly just an amazing experience -

Self paced, great instructor support
Read more Read less of Jarrett's review
I enrolled in the Data Analytics program at CareerFoundry to launch my career transition. The asynchronous learning is great for those like me who still are working and have to squeeze time in here and there. The feedback from my instructors was timely and very helpful. My tutor helped review the exercises and tasks that I would while learning each module and my mentor reviewed my portfolio projects and provided a perspective from an experienced worker in the industry. I marked "Job Assistance" as N/A because I've only met with my career specialist once and have not done the job preparation course yet so I do not have any feedback yet. -
Blythe Stanley
Career Foundry is the BEST UX/UI Program
I've been learning with Career Foundry for about 6 months to study UX/UI. This is a major career change for me, and the staff, tutor I've been assigned, and grading tutor have been fantastic. They are supportive, challenging, and genuinely care about your growth and success as a student and in our career ahead of you. I would recommend Career Foundry to anyone interested in their learning topics. -
Jeremy Obach
Really Great so Far
The CareerFoundry Data Analytics course has been a great decision for me. With all the resources available on the internet I was skeptical about paying for a bootcamp, but the combination of the sensibly structured curriculum, frequent projects to test for understanding, graded by real tutors and mentors; I feel like I'm laying a firm foundation for a career change. -

I have almost completed career foundry’s UI design bootcamp, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The program was not only well-structured but also led by knowledgeable and supportive instructors. I was impressed by the up-to-date curriculum that covered the latest industry trends and tools. The hands-on projects allowed me to apply what I learned and build a strong portfolio. The bootcamp also fostered a sense of community, with fellow students and mentors always willing to help. Overall, it was a fantastic journey that has significantly boosted my UI design skills and career prospects. I highly recommend this bootcamp to anyone looking to kickstart their design career. -

Best course ever! ✨
Read more Read less of Natalia Polakova's review
Before embarking on my career change, I conducted extensive research on available courses to ensure I made an informed decision. While I tried a few online courses, none quite compared to my experience with CareerFoundry. What initially drew me in was their offering of small, free courses, which allowed me to confirm if UX UI design was the right path for me before committing to a substantial course fee. After reading their website and reviews and completing these free courses, I was confident that this field was my calling, and a few months later, I decided to enroll. It turned out to be the best decision I've ever made. I'm set to complete my course in December and am currently working on my portfolio. The support and guidance here are exceptional, but what truly sets CareerFoundry apart is the firsthand expertise from professionals in the field. The feedback from my mentor and tutor has been invaluable, and I'm genuinely learning something new every day. -

Challenging and Rewarding

My experience has been challenging, mainly because I am new to the world of UI/UX design. I have been extremely lucky to have been paired up with an AMAZING tutor and mentor. The student advisor team is quick to help with any issues and has shown so much kindness. I only wish the lessons would have been like the videos that were presented during the free bootcamp that I had taken before signing up. However, this has been a great process! -

I'm almost halfway through the UX Design Program and my experience so far has been great. There's lots of material and engaging assignments, everything is beautifully presented with plenty of resources and reference material to hand. My tutor and mentor have been really helpful, offering valuable insight and constructive criticism along the way - all really positive. As a career changer, I'm excited about what else the course will bring, and my future role in UX. I highly recommend the course to anyone with an interest in UX. -

A Perfect Blend of Theory and Practice
Read more Read less of Marcela Acosta's review
I'm really enjoying my journey through this data analytics program. What sets this course apart for me is its well-structured, text-based format. There's no need to invest a ton of time in video content; instead, the written curriculum is comprehensive and to the point.
What I find most rewarding is the program's hands-on approach in every lesson. After delving into the theoretical aspects, I get to apply what I've learned right away through practical exercises. This seamless transition from theory to practice not only solidifies my understanding but also gives me real-world skills that I find invaluable.
In summary, this program offers a balanced blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application, making it an excellent choice for anyone serious about advancing their skills in data analytics. -
Karen Stonecypher
Great Data Analytics Bootcamp!
Learning data analytics with Career Foundry has been great! I've learned so much and with their job guarantee, I feel confident in my career path. The farther I get into the course, the more I realize I don't know, but this has helped me know what areas to continue researching and learning on my own. Having a tutor and mentor to help me along the way has been invaluable! -

Above and beyond!
Career foundry has been amazing! In just a few short months I’m creating prototypes for APPS! What! This from the girl who could barely turn the computer on! The mentorship and tutoring have been essential and the course material is laid out well! I never thought I’d be able to become a UI designer but here I am doing it and loving it! -

Easy to navigate and great content
Read more Read less of Brooke Alexander's review
I've been working through the course for a few months now and I'm very happy with my decision to choose CareerFoundry. I work full-time so the fact that it's self-paced and entirely online works with my schedule. I get feedback from my tutor on every assignment with great advice and suggestions. I get to schedule 1:1 meetings with my mentor to go over my portfolio and ask questions related to the work, the industry and my portfolio. The student advisors have also been very helpful and are quick to reply to any inquiries. As with any of these types of courses, there's always going to be more to learn so I know I won't know everything when I graduate, but I'll have a great foundation to land a UX job. -

I’m currently taking CareerFoundry’s UX Design Bootcamp and it’s been a great experience so far! My tutor and mentor have helped me a lot when it comes to task assignments and industry advice. I like that the course is self-paced so I can complete it on my own time, and it tells me how much progress I’ve made. The material is straightforward and they provide lots of examples which help a lot. Would recommend CF :) -

Career Foundry - Data Analytics
Read more Read less of Steven So's review
I have been really enjoying the boot camp! I am utilizing Career Foundry's boot camp, YouTube tutorials, and self teaching via learning courses. While I am learning things through other methods just fine, I really would have experienced issues with staying on track and focusing in general without Career Foundry's course design. The structure it provides gives my self learning a very supportive backbone and direction. Most invaluable though, is the access to a mentor. I find that I can write down questions throughout the week, from my learning, and they are sooooo friendly about it. The amount of details they provide and the guidance and advice alone is worth the course fee. I am almost halfway through and have not regretted any of it :)! -

Overall, I like the system of CareerFoundry. But...
Read more Read less of Euikyu Kim's review
Overall, I like the system and curriculum of the career foundation. However, one regrettable thing is that there is no data in video or audio. If you have video or audio material that reads or shows all the lessons, you can listen to them while walking, driving, or exercising, which will be more convenient for users.
I would be happy if CareerFoundry could produce more audio and video materials not only for UX and UI design but also for web development, data analytics, digital marketing, and product management. -

Challenging and Accessible
Read more Read less of Tristan Savella's review
So far, my experience with Career Foundry's Data Analytics program has been very positive. The material is introduced in a way that is easily digestible and at an appropriate pace for someone completely new to the field. I've been matched with a great tutor and mentor who have answered my many questions in great detail, which has helped me immensely with my assignments and my overall knowledge of the field. The flexibility of timing was also a big reason I chose CareerFoundry over other bootcamps and that is working very well for me now. I'm able to work extra fast during less busy months at work to account for later busy periods. My only slight criticism would be that as the texts are quite long, it would be nice if there were a more equal mix of reading and videos. However, CareerFoundry often links additional resources which often include videos that explain the concepts. Also, the more I learn about each concept, it becomes easier for me to search up additional videos on the subject on my own.
I'm looking forward to continuing on in the course! -

I definitely picked out the right course for me!

This course is one-of-its kind as a UX Professional who wanted to level up in UI, I searched far and wide for a course that would help me sharpen just my UI skills and understanding, and this course has done just that. My mentor AND tutor are both such a great help — and this course provides assistance in finding the right job for you afterwards. I love that it's parced up into achievements and after every achievement I get to work on my portfolio early in the process as well. My tutor even helps me out with finding the right plugins to make my workflow faster. I think this is the perfect course for anyone who wants to transition into a particular field or even level-up. Couldn't recommend it more! -
Johanna Blood
Good experience

CareerFoundry’s Digital Marketing Program is worth every penny! The professors very thorough with their feedback and provide it at a timely manner. Whenever your assignments need to be corrected they tell you in a very cordial manner. Also, the student advisors are there to help you with any problems you might have throughout the course. Whether it’s billing or motivation, they cover it all. I was honestly a little skeptical about starting the course but it has gone very smooth and I can’t wait to apply everything I’m learning to the work field. Thank you CareerFoundry for providing high quality learning experiences! :)
