CareerFoundry

The coursework as other said is dated 7yrs to be exact. That would not be a problematic for me if course material was more comprehensive. Mixed responses from tutors and mentors regard how much deviation from CF coursework required to understand coding. I would review "CF lessons"till I was blue in the face with no clarification for why they used stringify for chart rendering in meetup app project. Even React documentation (Facebook) does not recommend this approach. Tutors seem to have high turn over and low morale quit without notice for 6th time. Mentor I had was decent still low morale and we have staring marches rather than solve problems. Again I felt throughout the program it was ChatGPT not CF that was helping learn code. If career foundry is reviewing this what is your value proposition? You have mentors and tutors tell students worker “harder” on code instead of help. I reviewed the coursework and its not comprehensive enough. If you were doing Recharts programing for Meetup app project why does your approach not work and yet you "pass" my code? I will kindly reconsider CF if they can explain yourselves better. Dishonest company

 CareerFoundry’s Data Analytics program exceeded all my expectations. The curriculum is incredibly well-structured and designed to take you from zero to job-ready in a clear, supportive way. The hands-on projects gave me the chance to apply what I was learning in real-world scenarios, which helped everything click. The platform is user-friendly, and having a dedicated mentor and tutor meant I was never stuck or left guessing. I especially loved how much SQL and Tableau were emphasized—they’re powerful tools and now I feel confident using them. CareerFoundry’s job prep guidance is also top-notch. I genuinely look forward to every module and feel like I’m building a future-proof skill set. 

I’ve been studying with CareerFoundry for the past few months, and it’s been a really solid experience overall. I appreciate the flexibility of the self-paced structure, which has allowed me to balance learning with other responsibilities. The mentorship and tutor support have been helpful — especially the detailed feedback on my projects. The curriculum is practical and geared toward building a real portfolio, though I’ve found myself occasionally needing to dig deeper on certain topics through outside resources. Overall, it’s a great option for motivated career changers who want structure and guidance without the rigidity of a traditional classroom.

As a data analytics student, careerfoundry has been really supportive in preparing me for a job. My tutor took a while to respond to my questions, but they extended my course by a very generous amount to compensate.

I’m currently taking CareerFoundry’s Data Analytics course, and it’s been a great experience so far. The curriculum is well-structured, covering Excel, SQL, Python, and Tableau with hands-on projects. The mentor and tutor support are super helpful, though you need to stay self-motivated to keep up. Great for beginners!

So far the experience of the Data Analytics course has been pretty positive and I have learnt a lot on the course that I did not previously know, and I am someone that works within a data related field.  The content is pretty good but can be confusing and some things are not explained very well. Also some of the links are broken because they link to old articles that must have been taken down. 

I have been studying for a few months, the curriculum is straightforward and easy to follow. My tutor and mentor give me the necessary feedback to improve and it keeps me motivated. I also appreciate that there's an online community that I can connect with. There’s a specific moment I remember when things were feeling hard, I received an email about a hero’s journey and that helped change my perspective and inspired me to keep going. I look forward to continuing to learn every day.

 The Full-Stack Web Development program at CareerFoundry was an incredible experience. The curriculum was comprehensive, covering everything from front-end technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to back-end frameworks like Node.js and Express. The hands-on projects were challenging yet rewarding, providing real-world experience. Mentorship and community support were outstanding, making it easy to stay motivated.  I gained the skills necessary to kick-start my career in tech. Highly recommended! 

CareerFoundry’s Data Analytics course offers detailed and highly educative learning materials that make complex concepts easy to grasp. The structured curriculum is enriched by invaluable support from tutors and mentors who provide insightful feedback and additional resources to enhance learning. Thanks to the hands-on projects and expert guidance, I feel eager and fully prepared to apply my knowledge and skills to start a rewarding career as soon as possible. I highly recommend CareerFoundry to anyone looking to start a new career or make a career change, just like I am!

I learned so much from the UI Immersion Bootcamp! The content was organised and broken down so well, and I love that I got to apply my learnings to different projects and have a portfolio by the end. I loved that there was a mentor and tutor to review my work after each assignment so I could ask questions and understand if I was on the right track. The structure of the course held me accountable to complete all the work, which was very helpful too. Would definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to learn very important design skills! 

I am a CareerFoundry's Full-Stack Web Development course student since October 2024. I have worked earlier as a web developer and I feel the topics & projects included in the curriculum allows students to display the skills currently required by the industry . The instructors and student advisors are experts in their field, are approachable and very quick to address any raised question. 

I'm about 1/4 of the way through my UX Design course, and I love it so far! My tutor and my mentor are very kind and encouraging, and always get back to me in the allotted time. The course itself is a good level challenge, with some creative projects and some more technical work. My advice is to stay positive and chip away at it at a nice pace. It's a lot of information and it's good to digest it!  

I have rather enjoyed much of the course. Even though I'm a full time employee at a hospital, married, and have a two year old I've been able to make it work due to their flexibility. Only thing I really found was a pain point was when we had to use large datasets that my computer couldn't handle it. It would bring my machine to a crawl after ever minor change. Which mind you I have a rather beefy system to do my IT job. Not sure if maybe there is a way to use smaller sets, provide virtual labs, etc. Outside of that I'm enjoying it. 

I completed CareerFoundry’s UX program in March 2024, but despite applying to hundreds of positions since then, I have not gotten a single interview. Following the program, I sought feedback from an experienced design professional, only to discover that my portfolio was considered below industry standards—even though it had been approved by CareerFoundry mentors.

I also participated in their 6-month job guarantee program, but unfortunately, I still did not secure any interviews. When I requested a refund, I was informed that I was ineligible due to a lack of “proper documentation” and because I had not met with my mentor every two weeks. This was challenging to accomplish, as my mentor had personal issues that led to canceled calls, and my full-time job made rescheduling difficult. I was also told that I needed to check in with my mentor biweekly, but he would regularly not respond to me, or get back to me days later so what was the point of checking in this often. 

Reflecting on the program, I feel that CareerFoundry’s job guarantee and strict policies seem designed to attract students rather than prepare them for success and realities in the design field. About two-thirds of the way through, I started noticing a lack of detailed instruction on essential design topics like accessibility, spacing, color, and typography. While these topics were mentioned in assignments, they were often too vague to apply effectively. I gained far more insight through my own research and guidance from industry professionals than from the program itself, leaving me feeling misled.

When I requested a phone call to discuss the refund, I was told CareerFoundry didn’t have enough staff for a conversation—a surprising response from a company centered on UX, where user insights should be a priority. 

At this point, I am genuinely disappointed with my experience in this program.To anyone considering CareerFoundry’s UX program, I would advise looking elsewhere.

I've been in this course since July 2024. I've enjoyed learning to navigate Excel and Tableau thus far. Career Foundry provides a deep dive into what a Data Analyst will being doing day-to-day. I've had a lot of help and support from the Career Foundry Team both academically and personally. I hope to continue broadening my education and skills throughout my course!

Awesome course detail with even better mentorship and tutors! I’ve been enjoying the course and the organization of the subjects. The achievement projects have been engaging and fun! This course has made the process exciting and keeps me going!

This is my first time taking an online course and so far I am enjoying my experiences. I am in the UX Design program and in the beginning I was scared because I’ve never had any experience in like web design or graphic design so I thought I was going to struggle and fall behind. Boy was I wrong, Every task they give you gives a detailed explanation on the history behind what you are learning and how it has evolved. The mentor and instructors are super helpful whenever you are stuck on something and give great feedback on when you complete an assignment. I would definitely give this experience so far a 10/10 I feel more motivated knowing I have a good support group backing me up and I’m having fun learning new things. 

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.
