CareerFoundry

Amazing course! Great tutors and mentors who are helping me reach my career goals 

11-month intensive course focusing on UX fundamentals and training with industry-leading mentors.
Focus on data-driven UX methodology with comprehensive, hands-on training including:
-User Research
-User Journeys & User Personas
-Competitive Analysis
-Surveys & Interviews
-Information Architecture
-Wireframing
-Prototyping and Conversion Rate Optimization
-Usability Testing

I would definitely recommend this program. The mentors and tutors are excellent and really want you to succeed! You learn a lot throughout the course and each assignment is hands-on.

Overall, it is a well-crafted introductory immersion into the world of UX design (after all, the real learning will come from doing it on the job). I just wish they offered a UX Writing specialization. Also, the instructors were hit or miss. I think some of them just copy-and-paste boilerplate feedback and don't really look at your work. One of mine seemed to have no awareness of what my assignments were or where I was in the course. But the curriculum is enough on its own, if you're comfortable learning via written instruction and videos. The job assistance is stellar, providing tons of valuable guidance, practice, and personalized support.

CareerFoundry is one of the best UX/UI design programs online! The reason I chose it was mainly due to the time flexibility and opportunity for networking. They allow you to start whenever you're ready, and every student can go at their own pace. They give you a mentor, a tutor, another mentor for the job prep course, student advisors, and an entire Slack community so you can get to know other students. People also share a lot of resources there, especially for online job hunt/career-related events. Their lessons are pretty good too. They have links to helpful articles and video lessons sometimes too. Any questions I have outside of the lessons, I can ask my mentor (we have weekly video calls and I can Slack message him any time). Oh and my tutor always always gives me helpful articles to look at along with her feedback on my assignments.
Overall, I'd say the program is very good!

I am really happy about my experience at CareerFoundry.
The help of my tutor is invaluable and the course is super valid and makes me confident about my next career!

It was a good choice but challenging. Thanks to this course, I could get not only knowledge for the professional UX design, but also train myself in terms of being disciples.

One thing that I really want to tell is that tutor is not always good. I met Carlo J.C.M. van der Pluijm as my tutor. He looked down me and ignored my words. So I asked a student advisor to change my tutor and they changed my tutor, who is really nice and professional.

Overall, I highly recommended this course. Course material is also reliable and student's community is a huge network all around the world.

The end of the course, You will have the option to choose 'job preparation course', which helps you prepare a resume, etc. All the process is well organised and prepared. Just bring your strong will.

My time with Careerfoundry has been mainly positive. The structure of the overall course and transitions from each assignment (deliverable) is very organized and meaningful. Your assigned tutors are really a great resource to have. I will say that, as of today, about 80% done with the UX immersion course...I do not necessarily feel job ready. I do however feel I've gained a lot of valuable exposure and experience across many facets of UX and even UI. Yet I still personally feel I've got a ways to go before I find that genuine confidence to enter the job market, thats for sure! I will say, I do not necessarily agree with or rely on the time estimations for course work. In fact, I've spent a WHOLE LOT more time and dedication than they let off from the get go...which isn't a bad thing...but would have liked more transparency from the beggining to be honest.. As a complete rookie, this has been quite the challenge (to say the least) It's not easy stuff, and for the most part you're genuinely kind of on your own to keep up with the pace. I am grateful for the layout of the program and the support from both my tutor and mentor, but there's still leaps and bounds to overcome.. Progress never pefection...

The UX Design training with CareerFoundry provides the necessary tools to work in real environments with professionals working in the field, helping you at every step but at the same time giving you the freedom to learn at your own pace.

I can really recommend this course to everyone who wants to start a new career or maybe just wants to strengthen their existing skills. Personally I was new to every design themes and I didn't imagine to learn so much within such a short period of time. It's an intense course but on top to the skillset you get, it really helps you to start thinking as a designer and gives you enough confidence to start something new. 

The Data Analytics program in career foundry is very compact. I found the program engaging. I would highly suggest this program to people who want to become a data analyst. 

Great course, great tutors and mentors. Course already helped me get a UX design internship and I’m even done with the course yet

Career foundry has been a great decision, and my only regret is that I didn’t start sooner.  Help is always available whether it’s from your assigned tutor or mentor, and you can also reach out and even collaborate with other students to help get your assignments finished.  It feels like a real school environment, which I was a little worried about with working only online- but it’s been great in keeping me on track and motivated.  Would recommend!

I think bootcamps are what you make out of it.  I have prior graphic design experience so the curriculum was pretty easy for me.  I found that my instructors kind of glanced over my work, so unless I gave specific questions, my assignments got approved.  I supplemented my bootcamp with alot of online workshops and meetups because I thought the assignments were kind of dry/beginnerish.  Plus side is being able to follow a timeline. I know if I were to study on my own, I would get lost with the plethora of materials on the internet. 

My advice to anyone looking for a bootcamp is to make sure you know that you'll have to take a hold of your education and make sure you put in the work to make your portfolio shine.  You aren't gonna get spoonfed a job with the job guarantee. You really do need to work for it.

The course was very detailed and thought out. My tutor and mentor made it enjoyable since I knew I was getting real feedback from people in the industry.

I have enrolled in the Full-Stack Web Development Program this year, and so far my experience has been great! What made me choose CareerFoundry over an in-house bootcamp was the flexibility to study when I want and have the time for it, as I am working a full-time job. Another factor was the price, at is is significantly cheaper than most other in-house bootcamps I found. Each student gets assigned a mentor and tutor to help with the course progress, and I've had very good luck with mine. They're helpful and give me the insight I need to improve and think like a web developer. During the course, you get to work on projects that will ultimately be your portfolio, so you will be ready to apply for jobs by the time you graduated. 
The only con I would say is that you need to be disciplined and motivate yourself to keep going at a steady pace. No one is there to tell you to do it. However, the flexibility that comes with it also makes many things easier! 
I definitely recommend this program for people who want to keep their full-time job! 

Do not waste your money on this people. They will rip you off. They will talk to you nice to make you enroll after that you will realize their realness. Bad staff and service. Their tutors and mentors will not help you as they suppose to and if you do not make your deadline to finish course they will charge you $1000 per month and will not give extension even at their fault. BE CAREFUL. TOTAL FRAUD.

I received attentive and encouraging support from my tutor and mentor throughout the course. I would consider taking another course with CF. 

As a digital marketing specialist I'm not a complete beginner in data analytics, have been using Excel and other tools for years. I found the course to be very useful to structure the knowledge in my head though, and to give a little bit of theory and structure to my years of practice. I liked working with the tutor and mentor, it feels nice to get help at any time and definitely avoids you from being stuck on something for too long. Planning to take on the full program now, for a deep dive on SQL and Python.

 Solid curriculum. The mentor and tutor are very supportive and helpful. I haven't started the job guarantee yet but I heard good stuff about it! I can definitely recommend Careerfoundry!ProsReliable staff, supportive mentor, and tutor, good platform!ConsFeedback from the tutor for each task can take a while. 

I loved taking the CareerFoundry UX Design Program. The Exercises were really interesting, if you are interested in psychology and how the human mind works you'll actually really enjoy reading and deepening your understanding of users! I never found the exercises boring and flew through them when reading them. I was worried that changing careers might be a boring or daunting task but when the content is actually mentally stimulating you enjoy spending time on the projects!

It is not a short course by any means, you need to be prepared to get stuck in! It is SO worth it though. I am really happy that I have lifetime access to the contents as in my new roles I'll be able to refer back to what I have studied.

At the end of the course, I came out with a really beautifully polished fantasy gaming app. I am really interested in taking the Specialization that comes for free with the program: UI for UX Designers. This means I can make my designs even more professional and aesthetically pleasing.

My mentor was really really great! They had so much experience that it really helped me prepare for the industry. I took calls with them to find out about what it is like to work in the role and also they helped me get unstuck whenever I found a new technical skill challenging. I'm so grateful for all their support!
