CareerFoundry

I have been attempting a career change for years. CareerFoundry is the first company that I feel will truly help me make the change. Their career specialists will be there for me every step of the way.

If you are looking to change careers or learn something new I can highly recommend Career Foundry. The support from Mentors and Tutors is great,  everything is well organized and I feel confident and prepared to start with a new carreer in UX Design. 

I’m over half way through the course and am so happy I picked CareerFoundry for my education. They have great mentors and some really awesome tutors. I’m Impressed with the skills I already have developed! Thanks! 

I found it a good way to learn something new or even make a career change. All the lessons are easy to understand, besides that, you have extra informative material regarding the topic of the lesson, and you feel all the time support by the tutor and mentor, assigned to you since the beginning of the course. In general, I think it's a very complete course which I would recommend to others.

I've been a student of CareerFoundry for about six months now, and the feedback I receive from my tutor and mentor is really great. With a great support system,  and up-to-date, fun material to read, I've really enjoyed my time so far at CareerFoundry!

I am so happy I took this course! It helped me gain confidence as a designer, and show my process step by step. There is a lot to learn, and there are amazing tutors & mentors who can answer all your questions and also challenge you to come up with your own answers. 💪🧠🫀So recommended! 

If you are fed up with your job and looking to pursue a career in UX CareerFoundry is definitely the one! The course is well structured and very in depth so really prepares you for jumping into a job straight away. My tutor and mentor were both incredibly helpful and give feedback very quickly. It is a very supporting and friendly community that helps you every step of the way! 

I had a really good experience with Career Foundry. I was able to do the course through the German Agentur für Arbeit, which meant that I did not have to pay for the course myself. I worked on it an average of about 30hrs per week, and it took me 5.3 months to complete during which I also did some job shadowing at a start-up out our my own initiative. 

I thought the content of the course was really great especially for a beginner in UX design. My background in Fashion design helped me a lot in the design part of the program, but it was really fantastic to learn about the different UX research methods and having to conduct my own user interviews and usability tests. What I liked about the course is that it gave me a goal and incentive to complete the tasks week by week. I would not have had the discipline to learn all the basics on my own. 

The content was also structured in a really manageable way which clearly showed the design process. To this day I still look at some of the Career Foundry tasks when I start a new project because I have lifelong access to the course material. 

Sometimes I expected a bit more constructive criticism during the course, because it felt almost everything I did was "approved". However, my tutor did help me on a couple of areas where I was struggling. That being said, the course was all about being exposed to the Human Centric Design approach and much of my "real learning experience" only happened when I started working on cases where the outcome actually mattered. The course was fantastic to lay the foundations for that.

I especially enjoyed working with my mentor because I could sense that he is really passionate about UX design and also about sharing his knowledge with students. 

Another really great aspect of the course was the Job Prep part. I had a fantastic mentor that helped me tremendously to update my CV. It was especially helpful when I applied for my 2nd UX/UI job, as she was able to assist me in practising mock interviews and give me a lot of great tips on what to prepare for. I was surprised that this assistance was still available to me 1 year after completing the course, so kudos for that! I highly recommend anyone to do the job coaching part as this has taught me lifelong skills that I will use for every future job interview.

I have nothing but great things to say about CareerFoundry. My instructors have been amazing, in every way, throughout my time as a student, and that has been the most important aspect of my entire experience. CF has built a community of supportive, engaging, and friendly people that want nothing more than to help and guide you through the process of becoming the UX Designer (in my case) you are meant to be.

I did the course between 2020 and 2021. I must say that this is one of the most support that I have ever had while learning a a new skill. The program is designed in a very holistic way, from the introduction to the career advisor. I don't think that I would be able to stay this engaged without having a mentor, a tutor and a whole student community. The mentor calls and direct feedback from the tutor are extremely helpful and help you learn quickly. You also have access to a multitude of webinars covering all of the parts of your career change process. I highly recommend this program.

Though it’s all online, the support team is always available and tutors and mentors respond quick enough.
Curriculum is quite intensive for beginners, but platforms are clear and easy to understand with some videos and photos.

Career Foundry made learning new skills so engaging! I appreciate the 1:1 help I got from tutors, mentors career specialists, and student advisors. I love that I was able to learn while applying my skills, building my portfolio, and advancing in the course simultaneously. 

I have had an outstanding experience learning with Career Foundry. The courses are well organized with the latest content for up to date learning in a field that is constantly changing. Your course progress is very easy to understand so that students have a clear picture of progress. Highly recommend!!!

I'm very pleased with the structure of the course. I enjoyed every single task from beginning to the end. The Mentors and Tutors are very knowledgeable and responsive. I've never had any problem with anything and as well i think I gained a lot of experience and now I feel ready to search for a job.

Joining careerfoundry’s UX boot camp was one of the best decisions I have ever made. My mentor, Larissa Schwartz and my tutor, Karim Merchant have been phenomenal and I can’t imagine going through this journey without them. 

I am very pleased with my UX Bootcamp. I am learning new things every day. 

I can’t stress enough how great this bootcamp is. I feel like a real designer and I’m not even finished with the bootcamp yet. The course is so detailed and covers so much without being confusing and overwhelming. My mentor, tutor, and career advisor have been fantastic and keep me focused and on track!

I really enjoyed my experience in the UX design program with CF, I thought the curriculum was well established and the course was a good balance of engaging while still being challenging. I was particularly impressed by the variety of resources they offer (for example, a mentor for the UX course and a separate mentor for the job search)

After making numerous comparisons on features, pricing, and payment methods, I decided upon CareerFoundry to start my UX design journey. I also need to add that the customer service rep who I was on a call with prior to registration was top notch and very helpful to allowing me to make an informed decision among the various options based in Toronto. Being someone who is switching career and with no design background whatsoever, CareerFoundry's student advisor, tutor, and mentor had been very helpful and encouraging.  I realized that some of the topics may seem too bite size for people with some design background. However, the overall curriculum had been very helpful for my progress to becoming a UX designer. One thing that to keep in mind is that the curriculum offered at CareerFoundry is self-paced with occasional reminders from student advisor if you're off track. This is not something for those with a lack of self discipline or determination on making it as a UX designer. I have just started the job preparation course, so I cannot comment too much on the job assistance part but there is a job guarantee feature to the program (given that you stick to some of the requirements e.g. applying to 5 jobs each week after the design part of the program is done) To wrap things up, I can definitely tell that I'm making tremendous progress and while the future does feel uncertain for a career switcher like myself, I do feel more confident in my abilities and more comfortable to call myself a designer. 

I’m almost done with my courses at CareerFoundry, and I can say that my time here has been well spent. The course material is designed in a way that is more hands on, so while you’re learning, you’re building a portfolio at the same time. The mentors are very nice and helpful, and are always willing to book a video call. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants hands on experience as a UX designer.
