Good, but can be better
I am currently taking a CareerFoundry UX design course. I am happy that we have tutors and mentors who review our work and answer our questions. It’s good that the course provides tasks after each reading material. These tasks helped me learn and progress. However, the reading information isn’t great, and I have to do a lot of extra reading. Sometimes the task doesn’t include the information I need for the task. Also, I think the structure of these tasks could be better; I feel frustrated a lot of the time. I would love to have more examples from designers than they have. ( they provide some examples, but those are so rare, and the project that they showcase changes all the time)
* they do great with dealing with student’s issues and giving extra time if you have a good reason.Overall4.0Curriculum3.0Job supportN/AInstructors4.0 -

Full stack web development
The course itself is intensive and covers full stack, which is perfect for me. I’m haven’t decided if I want to do full stack, front end or back end and this gives me the chance to cover all my bases.
I have come across some communication issues with my tutor and sometimes wonders if he really checks my work, however my mentor has been incredible. I find our Skype meetings extremely productive, motivating and overall helpful. I would recommend this school to friends and family.Overall4.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors4.0 -

Studying With Great Tutors and Mentors
I have been taking the Data Analytics course from Careerfoundry since January 2022. Lessons are very effective, helpful, and intensively prepared. One of the pros that I like about this course is that the communication between students and tutors/mentors is very fast and productive.

Amelia VisnauskasStudent · UI Design Program · Graduation year 2022
Amazing experience!
CF has been a great experience and investment for me so far. I’m about 5 months in, and have found that the curriculum has been direct and relevant and the tasks do a good job of helping you focus on building skills that are most relevant for building a portfolio and starting a job. The availability of a mentor and tutor were big selling points for me, and both have been really helpful. If you’re someone who needs accountability to stay on track or is having a hard time figuring out what to focus on and how to build a portfolio, this is a really great option.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

I couldn't be happier with my choice. CareerFoundry has been an amazing experience thus far and it is still ongoing. There are many options for online courses in UX design and I am so lucky that I found CareerFoundry as it is the best fit for me. Since I have experience with other online courses I could say that CareerFoundry is unique in its ability to maintain engagement and keep you motivated to continue and stay on course. My online tutor and mentor are always there for me and most importantly the student community. I am not one to use those type of social platforms and I found it to be invaluable, so supportive and I am interacting with the online community weekly for guidance and advice.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Yanneth AlbornozBranding Graphic Designer · Intro to UI Design Course · Graduation year 2022
I love the learning by doing and knowing by experience!
I am at this moment halfway to completing the full-time UI Design Course.
I love how the themes are structured, main subjects are broken down into smaller pieces of information for a better understanding and assimilation. Along with the reading, there are always great resources to keep enriching the information provided. At the end of each class, there is a Task that is part of a project that the student is building up.
Some of my highlights:- I love ¨learning by doing and knowing by experience.¨
- My tutor gives valuable feedback that always helps improve my proposals
- The mentor is experienced in the sector and shares knowledge sync to the job market.
- The online platform is friendly, easy to navigate and to follow up
- Information is well structured, with plenty of examples, resources, and references.
- Projects are based on real-life examples.
I feel satisfied with my advance, I feel confident with what I have learned, and motivated to continue until the end :)Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

Well structured course
The course is really well structured and interesting. It feels good to work on a real project and see it growing :) I started from zero but I can see I'm doing a lot of progress.
Communication with mentor and tutor could be better, there could be for sure better standards, but you can contact the student service center and they might change tutor or mentor in some cases.
