Great experience
My experience with CareerFoundry has been great so far! I am almost halfway through the UI Design Program. My tutor is exceptionally astute with reviewing my work, which was a nice surprise considering everything is online. This course has exceeded my expectations, and I look forward to where it takes me after completion.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

Loving my UX Design Courses
The online UX Design courses at Career Foundry keep me engaged and curious. They explain the content thoroughly and always provide you with extra material if you choose to research the topic further. The mentors and tutors are also extremely kind and provide you with well-written criticism to help you progress.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

Great Program with lots of help.
Definitely need a curriculum to follow in order to cover all that I would need before starting a career in full stack web development and CareerFoundry has done a great job in providing that. Also very generous in helping you finishing the course even if you need more time because of a tight schedule.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

When i decided to reorient my career to UX/UI Design i spent hours online researching schools. Im so glad i went CareerFoundry. The curriculum is great and the support from mentors, tutors and student advisors is part of the reason i chose CF and they keep me on track and motivated. I still have a few months to go before i get to the Job Assistance portion but im looking forward to it.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

Teacher to Tech
Career Foundry has been a great experience so far. I really enjoy working with my tutor and meeting with my mentor. I feel like I’m learning a lot and doing a lot of good work to build my portfolio and skill set. I am doing the program part time and working full time as a Pre-K teacher. Completing the course on my own time has been very helpful, I really enjoy the flexibility.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

CF FullStack Review
I have had a very positive experience so far with CareerFoundry. I started the FullStack program in February with almost zero coding experience. My CF tutor has consistently provided specific, meaningful feedback on each task; his responses are so quick, usually in a couple hours. I've also had a supportive and engaging mentor who has talked at length about his professional experience in additional to offering constructive insights about my bigger achievement projects.
The curriculum is fast-paced for my experience level, but also includes everything I need to complete the exercises. The embedded videos are extra helpful for when I'm stuck. If I could make two changes, the first would be more opportunities to practice programming language syntax, but the instructors also share links for outside resources that meet this need. Second, the Slack community for peer support can be difficult to navigate. The CF staff do a lot to promote peer engagement, but I have to search a lot of Slack threads to find students who have posted about whichever task I need help completing; maybe a student discussion board linked to each relevant task would improve peer collaboration.
I would recommend CareerFoundry based on my experience so far.Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

Great decision
I choose Careerfoundry to start my UI journey because of the great ratings and reviews I read all over the internet and the possibility to get a voucher for this course from the Jobcenter. I was a little bit skeptical if this course would match my expectations but not only did it match them my expectations got surpassed. I am right now in the middle of this course and the way of learning is perfect for me. I really hope to increase my job chances but if they keep their promise I am optimistic that this was the perfect choice for me.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

Data Analytics
Great to have joined this course. It was just what I needed as a beginner. All concepts explained in a very simplified way and the best part is the Tutor and mentor who guide and review your work to further improve it as per industry requirements. Highly recommend this one.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job support4.0Instructors5.0 -

Data Analytics Program
The course content is great and very varied. Some of the instructions are not entirly clear however and can lead to confusion. Also, some of the provided datasets in the Python module are too large for a normal person's PC to process which leads to memory issues and ultimately delays progress with the course.Overall3.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors3.0 -

UI Design Program
I started the UI Design program with CareerFoundry in December 2021, on track to finish by September (I'm doing a part-time track) and I'm loving my experience so far. I'm a nanny with a fine arts background, and really wanted a career change, but I wasn't sure which direction to go. I spoke with some friends with similar backgrounds and experiences who decided to go the tech route (some programmers, some UX designers) with either CF or similar bootcamps. They've since finished their programs and are in awesome jobs now- so I can definitely see myself in their position someday soon! CF's course material is packed with helpful info and tons of resources, and there's some basic UX material in the UI course. My mentor and tutor are both immensely supportive and communicative. I've also been seeking networking opportunities both within CF's Slack community and on my own, which has been a wonderful experience. If you're thinking about making a career shift and UI or UX design seems like something you could see yourself doing, sign up and take the Intro course! If you decide it isn't for you, you can get a full refund. They're one of the most affordable bootcamps, but the quality of their programs is amazing! Plus the job gaurentee also really eased my anxiety about making this jump. I'm working part-time and completing my program, which is difficult sometimes, but my only regret is that I didn't start sooner! I literally have nothing negative to say about my experience. It's a lot of work but if you're determined to learn, I highly recommend CareerFoundry and their wonderful and helpful team.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

Worth it!
I just finished the Intro to UX Design course and will be starting in the Immersive soon. I have really enjoyed the course so far and I’m excited to go even deeper in the immersive. My tutor and my mentor are both so engaged and excited about what they do that it’s hard to not feel excited every day to learn more. The student advisors are also great; very professional and kind, and overall the communication with everyone has been quick and easy. I researched a lot of other courses before deciding on CareerFoundry and was nervous to take the leap but I can say wholeheartedly that this decision was the right one for me and it’s going to change my life. I have no background in UX and I am still able to quickly understand the course curriculum. I will post another review when I graduate but I highly recommend CareerFoundry already.

UX Design course
I’m enrolled in the UX design certification for the last 9 months. I have no design background and yet now I can say that I can design. The overall course content is very well organized and delivered. The tutor that I’m working with is amazing and super knowledgeable in his field. The mentor truly mentors. What else one can ask for.
The course although is on a pricey end but with instalments it’s bearable.
I’m rating 3 stars on job assistance because I’m unsure about it as haven’t been through that process yet. But it’s important to mention that I’ve been assigned a career counsellor now.
Highly recommendedOverall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support3.0Instructors5.0
