CareerFoundry

I started this course over a year ago. In that time I have had a few rough times and a happy occasion in my personal life. It started with the loss of my grandfather, I couldn’t focus on the course and was given an extension at no charge while I was grieving. Next was my wedding, I was busy planning and grieving at time same time (I was wishing my grandfather could have been there). For the next few months I struggle to remember some of the earlier material. However with the help of my mentor and tutor I was able to get back on track and make good progress. Then came the loss of my dog. I took a few days off for that as I felt with her passing. I was able to get right back into it again with the help of my mentor and tutor. Now most recently I am dealing with the loss of my father. He helped me get started with this course, he paid for it and believed in me. CareerFoundry gave me another extension and now I am very close to finishing. Now I can fulfill my Dads dream of me getting out of the field I’m in and start something better. 

Making the decision to change careers was not an easy one. The idea of ​​learning something new and building a career from it is a bit scary, which is why when I made this decision I spent a lot of time evaluating different online course options, and I was very careful to choose one that would provide me with what I need and that fits my needs  (I currently work part time).
I started studying at CareerFoundry 3 months ago and so far my experience has been satisfactory. I have a mentor and tutor who are available to give me feedback, plus there's a network of students on Slack who can help you with your assignments, information, and even motivation (there's a really cool Study Buddy program available).
I really like the flexibility of the course, which allows me to study without having to affect my work hours. Additionally, it has a very complete curriculum with a lot of content and many tasks to put into practice what is learned in each lesson.
I am very happy that I chose this course and would recommend it to everyone who is interested in starting a career in UX.

I am half way through the course and I am really enjoying the course. I have access to all kinds of materials related to UX Design, the assignments are very well designed. I am enjoying every bit of the program as well as learning much more than I expected. I have a strong support system in the form of my tutor and mentor who are always there to clarify my doubts. The course covers all the topics related to UX design, consistent structure throughout and perfectly fits into my schedule.

I’m a UX student nearing the end of the UX immersive part of the course. So far, I’ve learned a lot about the field I’m looking to go into, and CareerFoundry also makes sure that you know the important details about related fields that will interact with UX as well (Web Design, UI Design, etc.). I havent had the chance to do much job prep work for the job guarantee part of the course, but the call I’ve had with the job prep mentor went well!

Overall experience is great! Great support a d great mentors! Their course content is very well structured. You must do your study outside of the bootcamp if you want to excel though! I recommend CF

I joined the Full-Stack Immersion course to level up on my existing skills. I always wanted a mentor who can guide me when I am stuck somewhere and help me out. CareerFoundry helps with that also provide tutors for day to day questions. Some people with more experience might feel the course structure is a bit basic. But there is so much to learn for every individual. They also help you with career mentorship. Where they help you with preparing an industry-standard resume and cover letters. Help you with mock interviews and get a job. 

A wonderful Course for learning UX & UI Design from basics up to professional level skills! The Course did not only teach me valuable and very useful skills, but also it did change my thinking about experiencing anything in the form as a User or Customer and opened up my mind!
Definitely something I can recommend to anybody!

I'm nearly halfway through this course, studying full time. So far, the tutor and mentor support has been excellent, with speedy and constructive responses to my coursework submissions (usually within a few hours). I think there is a limit to the number of hours you can book with your mentor, but it's nearly impossible to reach this. I've found the mentor sessions invaluable for understanding how the course content fits into a real-world scenario. Your mentor has a good awareness of the course structure but their job is to be there for your inevitable questions about the industry, UX concepts, job searching, and portfolio development tips. There is also an elective Job Preparation course, which becomes available once you're halfway through your main course. I'm not quite there yet, so can't comment on this. 
One thing I will say is, with additional reading, there is a lot to cover so good time management is vital for this course. I am aiming to complete the course within 5 months, and currently, I'm on track to do so. It can be hard when tasks require user input (friends/family) as working around their availability can put the brakes on. To get decent results, I suggest you have around 15 people you can reach out to, with about half of those being reliable, go-to people for interviews, and the rest at least prepared to jump on to a 3-minute online survey or digital card sort. CareerFoundry give you a heads up when you have a task that requires user participation but, if you're studying full-time, you might prefer a little more info and sooner so you can prep your friends.

I'm thoroughly enjoying the career foundry course! I love how flexible the program is; you can study as much or as little as you want each week. The lessons are detailed, and you are never alone in the journey! There is a great community of other students on slack that help support and motivate each other. I'd like more visual elements to the teaching side, this is a personal opinion as I am ADHD and struggle to read so much online. My only criticism would be that the responses from tutors seem a bit generic. 

Course with introductory phase, immersion, and specialization

After doing my research and reading about Career Foundry, I decided to sign-up for their 5 days’ free course which was very helpful. I started with them because I read that I will have a mentor, a tutor, and student advisors. I am about to finish the UX Designer course and so far I am happy. Things happen and no school is perfect, but the fact that they improve everyday matters to me, and I can say that they are always there to support in case I need help. I am self motivated and am totally fine with online courses. I chose Career Foundry because their course was self paced and allow me to manage my time better. Also, they have a job guarantee refund system which showed me they are confident in the service they provide. 

Loving the courses so far! The mentors, tutors, and student advisors have been really helpful and answered all my questions and requests promptly. Getting to know professionals in the industry and pick their brains is the most beneficial part of the whole process, and the whole team working with you seems really dedicated to your success after completion of the bootcamp.  

I have 2 kids and work full time while taking a UI course, needless to say I dont have a lot of free time. This has been an incredibly flexible course where I can plow ahead one week if I need to take a break on another.

I recently completed the month long Intro to Data Analysis course and loved it. The tutors and mentors were very helpful and the course touched on all of the areas involved in data analysis. Once my work schedule settles a little bit I will probably go back and take the 24 week course! 
Highly recommend!

The course is very good for people with some knowledge in the computer field.

I love using CareerFoundry to study UX Design. All the course materials are straight-forward and helpful. I often use the audio to listen to the course readings. The structure of the course is simple and easy to follow. I also like the dual mentorship at CareerFoundry; my mentor and tutor are helping me prepare for the real world once I graduate the course. 

Instructors take great care in responding with both positive feedback and criticism to help you learn and improve your work as the course continues. Another great feature involves showing other student's work that have been approved to give you an idea of what to strive for. 

I found career foundry to be very thoroughly designed self paced boot camp with ample amount of support from the tutor and mentors! From corrections to suggestions and then improvements to your projects they help you master the skills and tools. The job preparation at the end is another much appreciated part where they help you create/enhance the resume and portfolio and get you ready to land that job you are looking forward to work. 
All in all a great experience! I saw my self grow in developing the skills that I thought I didn’t have.  

As someone who thrives in a learning environment that embraces project based and hands on learning, I LOVE how CareerFoundry approaches it's educational content delivery. I was a complete beginner to UX Design and I learned so much in this intro course.
Looking forward to continuing with the full UX Program soon.
