Amazing course, Learning so much.
I am attending Data Analytics course. So far it has been amazing and I am learning a lot. Curriculum is best and easy to understand. Instructions provided with the task are so clear and helpful. I like the way curriculum is well arranged. No feel any extra pressure while going through exercises. I would like to mention, Mentor and Tutor are so supportive and positive. They are so responsive and helpful if I needed some support with task. And great teamwork.
Thank you.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Definitely worth it!
I'm halfway through the Full-Stack web development course with CareerFoundry and I'm loving it so far! The curriculum is set up so you end up with a portfolio of projects - this is super helpful for if you don't have a tech background so you have something to show in job applications. The mentorship is also such an amazing perk, as well as an entire slack org filled with tutors and other students who are always there to help if you're stuck on something! Definitely recommend.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Great Experience
Overall my experience has been great. You get a mentor, tutor, and career coach to help you along. Course work is easy to understand. Of course it is self-paced, so you do need discipline to complete, but it is very much worth it!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors4.0 -

Great time, rocket start into a new career
Jus great! You get supported through out the whole course by your mentor and tutor who are helping you with their professional experience and tips. You can rely on the student advisors and can connect to other students as well. Before I started the course I already heard good things about Careerfoundry, but now that I am a student myself, I think it is even better!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -
Ellis RauleStudent · UX Design Program · Graduation year 2023
Not what I expected
Perhaps I didn't look into it enough to fully understand how I would learn however I was expecting more engagement rather then reading and completing task after task with only a mentor and a tutor to assist. If you are someone like me that can get easily distracted unless monitored or with short deadline please look into it properly. besides this I am still going to complete my course and hope it will lead to a career change.Overall3.0Curriculum3.0Job supportN/AInstructors4.0 -

Great program
I have been part of the careerfoundry UX program since June and I love it. The pacing is great, the courses all make sense, my mentor and tutor are a great match for me and have been so helpful and insightful. Doing this course hasn’t felt like work, it has been so good to do. The resources are incredible.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

Amazing experience and great support system!
I am now taking the course and it has been wonderful. I have all the support I need even though it's an online self-paced course. The team is amazing and very responsive.

Val MirandaUX/UI Designer · UX Design Program · Graduation year 2023
Great curriculum and support from tutors, mentors and the wider community
CareerFoundry's curriculum is engaging and to the point. Also, pretty updated to current standards in the field.
I got a job in UX after only two months of starting the course. While I already had some previous training and experience, having the course listed on my CV helped me to get noticed by recruiters.
The mentor and tutor I was paired with are friendly and encouraging. They helped me prepare for my interviews and checked in to see how I was doing. The student community is also very welcoming and always ready to help.
The only downside so far is that some of the external links they suggest as optional/further reading are old/outdated. Also, the lessons could do with more media, like videos, animations, etc. They are heavy on text which might be easier and cheaper to update but is not quite as engaging.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -
Josh MechamStudent · Software Engineering Program · Graduation year 2023
Thorough, professional and still affordable
I’ve really enjoyed my time working on this course! I really just wish I lived closer to where the rest of Career Foundry’s users are. A study buddy would be helpful, but the mentors and tutors are still a good help!Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

A hands-on crash course in data analysis
I have found this course to be a great introduction and dive into many of the key tools that a data analyst will use in the workplace. I had a wonderful mentor who provided some great advice and feedback. I wish there was an opportunity to get face-to-face feedback from tutors on task submissions, but overall very happy with the course.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors4.0 -

Flexible
I enjoy thé asynchrony of the course. My tutor is quick to grade my exercise and respond to my questions along with additional resources. I like that each lesson has videos and extra articles and student examples. This helps me have a fuller grasp of each concept. The bootcamp is pretty expensive; but hopefully it pays off with a good paying job at the end.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

CF course review
Great and thorough course. Definitely recommend. Tutor and mentors Great. Very supportive. They provide a very solid base for learning. The only comments I have is that the statistical part of the first assignment is too condensed in two short exercises. Not great for Someone who's new to the field. Other than that, very happy with then.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -
Daniel LockeStudent · Data Analytics Program · Graduation year 2023
Mind blowing
I completed the FREE Bootcamp and it was incredible. The camp gave me insight into something I already enjoyed and seeing what one can do with data, how to clean, manipulate and create visual aids is incredible. The advisors are great, Karlen is my primary advisor and is quick to answer emails, pushes me to improve my work, and is always suggesting helpful articles to read to further develop my skills. I looked at other schools, but none had the passion and support from the staff that Career Foundry offers and delivers.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -
Michaela KirbyStudent · UX Design Program · Graduation year 2023
A great start
The UX Design course is a great starting point for entering the field without design experience. The course recommends a number of helpful, outside sources for further learning. Additionally, constant access to a tutor and mentor have been invaluable as I gain new skills and enter a brand new space.Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

CareerFoundry is reinspiring my love for learning!
I came to CareerFoundry really burnt out and dissatisfied with my job and desperate to seek something with better work life balance. I was looking to just zoom through the course and get a new job, but the more I delved into the curriculum, the more I was interested and appreciated the real life practical application. What started out as just annoying coursework to get me to the next step, turned into a passion for UX research and the practical benefits of really understand how to solve problems and design for user's need. I'm not done with the program, but I'm confident I can get a job with my new skill set and I'm looking forward to a long career is UX.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -
