Cassy StunkelStudent · Data Analytics Program · Graduation year 2023
So far, so good!
I’ve been enjoying my Data Analytics course thus far. I’m about halfway through, and everything has been laid out in a way that’s easy to digest, as well as informative. My tutor and mentor are awesome and it’s nice having them so readily available all the time for when I need help! I feel like I’m already obtaining a pretty good grasp on what my new career will look like, and am sure by the end I’ll be feeling ready and confident to nail that first job in my new field.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Career foundry Data Analytics Course (JEG)
This course is a very well-developed and structured course with interactive and knowledgeable tutors and mentors. The student advisors are quick to respond to any troubles. My early tutor was not the right fit for me but with one quick email to the advisors, it was fixed and I was switch over to a tutor that worked better for me. The course is easy to follow and the information is up to date with the ever-changing world of techOverall4.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors4.0 -

Challenging and Rewarding
My experience at CareerFoundry has been both rewarding and challenging. This is expected as I have to juggle my busy work schedule, family, and other responsibilities with studying. I discovered I end up spending more time on reading and solving the tasks than I had expected. Though I am running two months behind schedule, I hope the effort and hard work I have committed to this will pay off in a good data-related job. I sincerely believe if I were to undertake this boot camp on a full-time basis, I would have completed it in 4 months. I recommend a more engaging approach that does not make students feel lonely in the wild and repeatedly overwhelmed.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

A truly enjoyable educative experience
I have always wanted to learn programming but many courses I came across online are not really designed for in-depth learning. CareerFoundry offers a structured way of learning, exposing you to deeper topics as you go. Whenever I run into any obstacles, I have the help of my tutor, mentor and responsive student advisors who are always encouraging and willing to help.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

Knowledgeable and Excellent Bootcamp
Starting with CareerFoundry bootcamp was a scary choice, however I realized that the bootcamp was meant for me. They have an excellent learning program to get aspiring data analyst with exercisable task and to retain language used with data analyst. I would spend my money again to learn more advanced skills in the future!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Incredible support network
I've found my experience extremely rewarding at careerfoundry. There's so much support from other students, to your personal course tutor and mentor that stays with you throughout the course. It's an excellent learning environment especially for the self-motivated but, they give you tools to help keep you on track even if you're not self-motivated.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

An education with heart
I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with CareerFoundry. The courses are easily digestible and the assignments called "tasks" give you true UX design experience that gives you a fantastic portfolio to show off. I have never had a problem getting the help I needed, whether from my mentor, tutor, or student advisors. I can't recommend it enough!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -
ChuckStudent · Data Analytics Program · Graduation year 2023
Well-developed course with great support system
I'm learning a lot through the course and my interactions with my tutor and mentor have been outstanding. Scheduling meetings have been challenging at times, but the feedback provided is always useful, insightful, and positive. I appreciate that the program pairs me with a tutor and a mentor for extra support. The course material is very well-developed and the assignments are well-designed to reinforce the course material. I appreciate the fact that my mentor pushes me in my assignments. As a result, I've been able to learn beyond what the course teaches. Although I've not taken a comparative online course, I ultimately believe that the course is well crafted and provides graduates with the necessary education, exposure, and experience for entry-level data analytics positions.

Excellent so far
I am about 1/3 of the way through my CareerFoundry bootcamp and so far it has been fantastic! The curriculum and platform work exceptionally well for me, the tutors and mentors I have been paired with have been supportive and helpful, and I am looking forward to the job preparation part of the course towards the end of the bootcamp. No complaints so far, and I just hope I'm singing the same song at the end of the course.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

Good Mentors, Challenging but Quality Course Structure
I'm about 1/3 of the way through the career foundry program and am enjoying it so far. The mentorship and tutor structure is perfect for people that prefer extra support from multiple perspectives. The course structure has an incredible amount of information and provides many links to virtually all the topics covered. They have bonus tasks if you want to go above and beyond, a mentor you can set up meetings with to discuss your passions in coding and a tutor that will guide you every step of the way with prompt replies. I highly recommend this course.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

Exceeds expectations
I’ve been totally pleased with my experience at CareerFoundry. The curriculum is super clear and my tutor and mentor are responsive and GREAT instructors. It’s the best educational experience I’ve had yet (and I went to Princeton). My favorite thing about it is that I am challenged and am definitely mastering the material but I am not stressed because there are no exams.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0
