Amazing, great, wonderful, insightful, and very helpful.

Challenging and informative
Classes are very informative and easy to follow. Assignments are challenging but tutor/mentor are helpful when assistance is needed. Examples and videos throughout the course are great and helpful in explaining what is needed and required to learn the topic that is being taught. For my personal preference the flexibility of classes are the greatest perk of the course.

Career foundry
I think career foundry is amazing.
Before I tried to study in deferent sites and nothing compares to Career foundry. My tutor and mentor have been exceptional and supportive all the time. They do not miss a detail and the feedback is always encouraging. The content is also impressive and puts all the information straight away into practice with real live scenarios. I have really enjoyed it <3Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

Well structured course with great mentor support
I enjoyed the structure of the course plus the timely and encouraging tutor support. Weekly Mentor calls were so eye-opening in picturing the perspective of the pathway, and also getting answers from someone who has already experienced working in this field was really helpful. It would be great if all the material in the course were prepared in a video format rather than text to simulate the physical class.Overall4.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors4.0 -

UX Design course with Career Foundry is the best decision I've made!
I would highly recommend the UX Design course with Career Foundry. Not only in the course interesting and engage the support you receive from the tutors, mentors and student advisors is amazing. I feel more supported and encouraged by the team than I did when studying my degree at university! Even though it's 100% online learning I feel well connected to other students and have not felt alone. I've felt stuck in my career for a while and wasn't sure how to change things, it was making me miserable. Choosing to study with Career Foundry has been the best decision I've made in a long time and I feel confident that this course is going to open up opportunities I couldn't have imagined less than a year ago!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Careerfoundry review
So far, my tutor as being very supportive, responsive and encouraging. Although I have never being through this kindly of program before, I am really gaining a lot from it. The mentorship is so great as well and that was why I actually signed up for the program. The icing on the program for me is the job preparation course. Although it seem quite stressful combining all these courses right now, I know it will be of great benefit for me in future.Overall4.0Curriculum5.0Job support4.0Instructors5.0 -

Excellent
I'm very impressed with the data analytics course. The mentors and tutors are very helpful and prompt. I feel I will be prepared for a job position once I am competed. The mentor calls help me understand course material and how to apply it in a real world setting. I also can ask my tutor questions regarding the course martial and can expect a prompt response. Both individuals are encouraging and keep me abreast on my progress.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

CareerFoundry Review
I turned to CareerFoundry when I found myself wondering what my next step in life was. I knew I wanted to get into the tech field but had no idea how to even start. I knew I wanted something that I could do at my own pace, something with loads of support and great information. CareerFoundry has exceeded my expectations in every single way. My tutor and mentor are phenomenal UX designers who actively work in the field. They give timely and objective feedback that has allowed me to really come into my own in my coursework. I am miles farther than where I began, and with the support of CF and their job preparation course, I know I can keep growing and really become my own in the field.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -
Staci Heather LapisStudent · UX Design Program
Informative and Supportive Journey
I can not say enough positive things about my experience with CareerFoundry. From the start of the course I felt incredibly supported by my tutor and mentor who were always available when I needed clarity surrounding the material I was being presented. Further, this is a major career change for me, but the material is very easy to comprehend. As a former teacher, I really like their project based learning style where you are able to go through 15-30 minutes of reading, take a brief assessment, and then complete a project to deepen your understanding. If you are driven to learn independently with the assistance of others when you need it, then this is the course for you!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

Great UX Design bootcamp
I really enjoy my UX Design program with CareerFoundry. The curriculum is great and it is really fun to learn, since you are taking what you learn and practice it in a task right away. I was afraid, that it is mostly reading but the combination really pleasantly surprised me. The Student Advisors are super nice and fast with their replies in case you have a question or concern. I highly recommend the program.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -
Nikola BabicStudent · UX Design Program · Graduation year 2022
Great, Life changing, Amazing
I was recommended to CareerFoundry when I mentioned to a friend of mine that I wanted to change careers. Her friend had done this program, and after doing some research, I found this program to have the best qualities that I was looking for.
I haven't completed the course yet, but I have been able to work with an industry professional (who I look up to greatly). She has been incredibly helpful in solidifying my designs as well as encouraging me to strive to create higher quality designs with each iteration and each project.
I feel very comfortable with my tutor, who grades most of my assignments, as well. He's very kind yet instructive, and I feel like I am able to learn something new each time he reviews my assignments. He also has an abundance of resources that have been helping me along the way.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Highly recommended
This UX Design course has been a huge learning curve for me. I love that I am able to see my acheivements. My tutor is great and highly responsive. My mentor is very generous with the experience and advice that she shares with me. It all makes the intensity of this course a little bit less intense and a bit more fun!Overall4.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -
Gabriella PilarskiStudent · UX Design Program · Graduation year 2022
Learning a lot and enjoying it!
I really like this course. I am learning a lot and the lessons are full with extra links and resources if you want to know more about a subject. My first tutor unfortunately was very slow about grading assignments, but after I logged two complains I was switched to a new grader who is quick and gives great feedback! I especially love how the course is asynchronous and perfectly fits my schedule.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

Encouraging, involved, and interesting
Career Foundry has surpassed my expectations. The method in which they teach is straight forward and encouraging. The support of my tutor and mentor has been beyond helpful, as well as suppor from other staff members! They send little emails that are encouraging, or informative, seemingly right when you need them. They also seem to be very current, which is important in a tech field.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

So far so good!
I'm enjoying the course so far. It's pretty easy to follow. You have a ton of resources that will help you through your course including your tutor, mentor, student advisors, slack channels with other fellow students, and career mentor towards the second half of the course. Comes with a job guarantee if you complete the job prep course within a certain time frame, what more can you ask for?Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job support5.0Instructors4.0 -

CareerFoundry UI Design Course
My program began in August and now I'm almost half way through. I'm completely new to UI Design with zero design background.
I like that material of each lesson is very well built and structured. After each lesson there are plenty of additional things to read and watch on the topic.
The most important part in my opinion is that I, as a student, always have support of tutor and mentor. This is so valuable for me as for a person
who is changing career and meets a lot of challenges on my way. Having good feedback helps me to improve my skills and gives me more confidence.
I'm glad I have professionals who are always here to help and cheer me up.
Even though I study on my own I don't feel alone at all. CareerFoundry community in Slack is always active and full of people who can help.
Mu overall experience of the UI Design Program is good, and i'm glad I decided to take it.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Outstanding Product Management course
CareerFoundry's Product Management course covers a well curated set of topics which provides a comprehensive understanding of what would be expected in that role. PM is a quite new discipline / field, which can be confused with several related fields (e.g. UX Design, Project Management, Agile Experts), but the curriculum is structured around practical tasks in a project-based journey that helps to solidify the learning process. I can clearly say that a graduated student will feel sufficiently prepared for any professional challenges that would be expected from a junior PM.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Valuable, Thorough, Time-Effecient.
CareerFoundry stuck out to me when researching Data Analytics courses. I spent many weeks carefully studying the website. The staff is AMAZING! I have an amazing tutor, amazing mentor and amazing student advisors. Whenever I have any doubt, or obstacle - I always feel heard and valued in their responses and solutions to me.
As a complete novice in the data analytics field - my confidence not only in working with data but within myself has dramatically risen.
Enrolling in this course has been thus far one of the best decisions ever!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0
