CareerFoundry

I recently finished the UI Design course with CareerFoundry. I chose it for its practical approach. During this course I was working on several projects, and I am using three of them in my professional portfolio. I also appreciate the support of a mentor and a tutor during the course and the job preparation phase. 
I would wish for more contact with my peers, the course is fully online and although there is a community of students on slack, it can't fully replace the team experience. Thus, I am currently working on a collaboration project with students I met through the platform.

I am quite satisfied by my experience with Careerfoundry. In my opinion the curriculum is very complete, while also giving you a lot of tips to further learn more about certain topics/tools if wanted. 
You get a tutor (who reviews your tasks) and a mentor (who reviews your final achievements for each section). The meetings with my mentor were generally very useful, giving me an expert's insight on the topic I was studying/about to study.
However, I have to say that the few times I had a specific problem in my code and got stuck it was often difficult to get real, practical help from my tutor or my mentor. I had to ask multiple times until eventually I solved the problem(s) on my own. 
But then again, that's what coding's all about!

Overall, I absolutely would suggest this program! 

Im more than happy with my experience so far at Career Foundry. It’s a good balance between working on my own and having the support and feedback from my tutor and mentor. I can highlight recommend!

 I would recommend CareerFoundry to anyone who is looking to consider a career in the UX field. It will give you an overview and an idea about the field and also will equip you with the skills and knowledge that are required. 
Among the few things which I want to highlight includes the support from the student advisor community,mentors and tutors and the very active Slack community! 
Self paced study can get quite overwhelming but CareerFoundry has got your back! 

I am most of the way through career foundry's UX program. I started in February of this year (2022). What I like about the course is that it's much more thorough than the other UX boot camps. The other programs range from 1-3 months long. Career foundry is more like 5-8 months depending on your schedule. While you're still required to do a lot of learning outside of class to fully grasp the tools, the course does a good job laying out the fundamentals. You're assigned a tutor and a mentor to guide you. So far having an expert to talk to has proven to be useful. While a lot of the curriculum was written in 2017, I still think that it's a pretty good program overall. I update my review after I finish the course and see if their job guarantee proves true.

Careerfoundry has a very well thorough & well-paced curriculum. I’ve learned so much in my UX design bootcamp with them already and I am only half way through. My only note, is that this bootcamp is truly a solid foundation for UX knowledge, however, it is super important that you conduct some independent studying as well on top of your CF coursework. Go to meet ups, go to design workshops, socialize with other UXers for the best possible learning experience! 

It is my first time doing a course online, and I find the one from Career Foundry very organized. The mentors and tutors are very encouraging and engaging, which I feel is important when you do a course online. What's great is that it is certified and can be paid fully by the Agentur für Arbeit in Germany. 

I am doing the UX Design Course as a full-time student and currently about a third of the way of the course. I find the course to be extremely well structured. So far all of the course material has been very well laid out and I had no issues understanding my course content or any of the tasks. The Slack community has been helpful to connect to other students at my level. Most challenging is the pace of the course (as a German student my course is paid for by the government, which comes with a strict deadline) and the complexity of coming up with an original app idea and its structure. It's a great challenge though and I am learning a ton. 

I'm a total career changer, so it's not always easy for me, but the CareerFoundry team is there to help and advise.
The course material is clearly structured and with every little achievement I feel a bit more confident.
The vibrant Slack community is worth its weight in gold!

I love how each task of this builds upon the previous, it helps to what the entire process of designing is. My tutor is amazing and gives clear and concise feedback, and always gives resources in addition to his critiques . My mentor is so encouraging and helps me know I’m actually progressing. I’m happy I made the investment in this course.

I had a terrible experience with their full stack web development program. There are much better programs out there that are more up to date on their materials and are less expensive. It seems like the only program of theirs that they care about maintaining and supporting is the UX program, but the coding program was unacceptable. Tutors that are either unavailable, don't care, or dont know how to explain coding, projects that are so out of date that all of them have broken within a few months of completing the program, and a program that makes you jump through absolutely ridiculous hoops to try to get a refund, which it doesnt seem like ever happens. This program was advertised to be able to complete in 8 months part-time, which is IMPOSSIBLE unless you have a very very low workload or job that doesnt require a lot from you. They also advertised that they have great tutors and mentor who support you throughout the program....I had 5 differrnt tutors and 3 mentors due to the absolute lack of support from previous ones, and some of them being rude and insulting when you ask for help. This program talks the talk with how supportive and amazing it is, but absolutely does not walk the walk. And the fact that their projects are YEARS out of date is ridiculous. I wish I didn't spend thousands of dollars on this program, as well as be forced to pay $500 per month for extensions due to tutors being unavailable to help, projects being obscenely put of date, and it being near impossible to complete it in the given time frame. Don't waste your time or money!!

The UX Design course fully meets my expectations so far, all is understandable and well structured. The course material is really well structured and understandable and each exercise is always a comfortable length. I really like the tutor and mentor system, I have two direct contacts who answer all my questions and support me on my way.
 I feel very comfortable with the course.

This course is jam packed with new information. I didn't know anything about UI Design before starting this course with CF. As I traditional graphic designer the transition was very smooth and everything is explained really well for beginners. I really liked the  feedback and support you get from your Tutors and Mentors. 

Career foundry has honestly been a big positive change in my life . This program has helped me  understand ui design and other aspects of IT and how they all relate! While also training me in important skills that will help me find a great career. After completing this course i feel as though i will be more confident in my skills and abilities overall. 

Although challenging in terms of constancy, Careerfoundry has helped me in a practical, an engaging, an intensive and well-structured way in learning Data Analytics.

With the CareerFoundry team, I succeed to become and thinking like a real UX designer. 
Also, the networking is amazing. I connect and share insight with people around the world.

I come from a Graphic Design background, but I wanted to change my career path from Print Production to something more Tech/Digital. 

Overall I've had a great experience with this course;
The instructors are friendly helpful.
The course schedule is very flexible.
The skills I'm learning are very practice.

I also want to mention I got a full-time job as a Graphic Designer/UI Designer before I finished the course. One of the interviewer knew of CareerFoundry which I think helped me get the job!

I highly Recommend this Program.

I am halfway through the UX Design program and am really enjoying it. I find that it really is a "you get out what you put in" type of deal with a great framework. I knew I needed a program that would provide me with a learning structure because self-study was not working for me personally. I think you *can* learn everything here on your own, but it has been very helpful to have a mentor and tutor to guide me in addition to the structured coursework. Overall, I am really happy I enrolled.

Excellent course materials. Very luck for he draw in terms of tutors/mentors but student advisors are helpful and overall worth it!

Great bootcamp to set the foot into the door. The set up with the tutor and mentor helps a lot to learn quickly and get professional perspective. The way course is set up prepares you got a job search quite well. Its super nice that they mold you into targeting your specific career needs and goals. That helps a lot to be specific and strategic with breaking into the industry. Overall, great way to get the basics and learn the ins n outs. One wish is that it somehow incorporate design programs into the learning process :) otherwise grat school!
