UI Design Program review
Im 7 weeks into my UI Design program, with 10 more weeks to go, and so far so good. I feel that every class is so well explained and at the end of each one you are given so many extra resources to go deeper into each task. And I really appreciate the fact that if at any time I feel stuck or have a question, the student has really easy access to their Tutor or a call away to their mentor. And to finish the student advisors and School itself have always been really clear and fast with their help on any given situation. So overall im happy with my decision to have taken the course and really hope that it helps me jumpstart my career when im finished.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Look no further!
CareerFoundary is the place you want to be if you are looking at doing a UI course. The staff are friendly and efficient! The course work is easy to understand but if you are struggling there is a team on standby for your every need! There are videos for you to review which helps provide a better understanding. The course work is laid out in parts as you build your app. Each task leaves you wanting more. Would really recommend CareerFoundary!

Full Stack Web Developer Course
The Careerfoundry Full Stack Web Development course has been a pleasure for me so far, I'm less than 2 months away from graduation and I'm glad I chose this school.
The way that the course is designed has made the experience very positive for me, the fact that you can go at your own pace and don't need to attend any video classes was very helpful for me as I sometime struggle in a classroom.
Instead of video classes you get video calls from your mentor and IM's with your tutor, they almost always answer on time and the Mentor was especially helpful.
The course covers a lot of subjects but in a somehow brief manner, you then can choose which subjects you want to improve later on.
I haven't started the job preparation course yet so I won't be reviewing it.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

One of my best Decision
CareerFoundry is one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. From course work and the way, my Mentor and Tutor treated and correct my course work inspired me to do better and Job Prep make me feel more and more prepared for the field of UI as I get through the course.

Hamdi KarakayaStudent · UX Design Program · Graduation year 2022
Ux Design Course Review
During my 5 months online studies, i really like the course material and learned so much. However i think there is a room to improve. Here are some suggestions;
- Tutors acting like AI. It’s nice to have them but there is no personal connection. We never have a video call with them. Their reviews feel like standard templates. This made me feel distant my self from the person and i’ve never ask any questions or replied their email.
- Sometimes i felt lost during my course, as i didn’t know what i’m gonna do next. I wish there was an intro video in the beginning that explain what tasks i’ll be doing and how they all gonna connect in the end.
- I’d like to see more video content.Overall3.0Curriculum4.0Job supportN/AInstructors3.0 -

RicoUX Researcher · UX Designer · Graduated 2022
UX Design Certificate
The CareerFoundry Bootcamp has been a great experience.
I succeeded in finding a job as a UX designer 2 months after completing the last course.
During the course, I learned a lot about UX Design, UI Design, and UX Research. I still use the course content for my daily business. My instructors have been supportive and experienced but I felt like the personal connection has been missing. My tutor doesn't even answer me anymore.
The only downside is the remote setting - you work and study almost completely by yourself.
I only talked to my tutor once a week, which can let you feel lonely - depending on the person.
Overall, the course was great.
Especially the job preparation course has been a huge help.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors4.0 -

CareerFoundry was the best online learning experience I've had. The platform was easy to navigate and assisted in being able to focus on the content rather than how to use the classroom. The mentors/tutors I was assigned were great to work with, and always very informative and encouraging. I have, and will continue to, recommend CareerFoundry to friends and colleagues looking to improve their design skillset or make a career change. It has been a life changing experience for me that I am so thankful I took a chance on!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Very comprehensive self-paced course
I am very happy with the online course, as it is self-paced and there is a lot of information to review and practice. I am also very happy with the assignments. Sometimes I would like to receive quicker or more detailed feedback on my assignments, but on the other hand this gives me the opportunity to look for solutions as I have to do at work.Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job supportN/AInstructors4.0 -

Top Notch UX Experience
I was a little skeptical about doing an online course at first. I did a ton of research on what the best approach would be to learn UX before I signed on with Careerfoundry. There's plenty of self-taught paths you can take, multiple online bootcamps, and university courses. It was overwhelming. I found a review for Careerfoundry that really appealed to me though. The course offers a ton of resources to help you succeed. There's job placement assistance, you're assigned a mentor and a tutor, and they have an engaging community of students eager to learn and share ideas that you're encouraged to be a part of. The mentor and tutor components are really what sold me though. I have direct access to professionals in the UX industry which I think is huge in terms of career transitions and helping you prepare for real world UX job scenarios. Overall, I give Careerfoundry 5 out of 5 stars for being the complete package course.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0
