    FullStack Web Development

    Full stack web development course that takes you from A-Z on your coding abc’s. This course not only teaches you web dev. Programming is a life long journey of constant learning, and through the asynchronous journey of CareerFoundry I realized that I am able to learn independently.  Thank you!

    CF Review for UI Design

    I am taking the CF course for Ui design and am very happy with it. I wasn't 100% it wasn't a scam at first but after being in the course for 4 months I realize that it is a lot of good information. The tasks build well onto the previous task and you get a lot of support from the staff. I recommend it to anyone looking to get into the field.

    Great course

    I’m a couple months into my UX design course and couldn’t be happier. I currently work full time, and I was worried if I’d actually be able to immerse myself in the course, as well as still have free time. Gratefully, those worries didn’t come to fruition! The program really does offer flexibility and works around your schedule. They even build breaks into the program where you’re assured to have some free time. The content is really engaging, and I genuinely love doing my homework.

    Great Effective Course

    Very fruitful experience,  as you work on real projects and build your portfolio through the course to be ready to apply on jobs directly by the end of the course, the course is very interesting as you receive a follow up from your Tutor and support from your mentor through live calls, the course gives me a wide option of jobs that I can apply on.
    CareerFoundry support you after the course be a Job Preparation Course,  the course prepares you as a tech graduate to be ready with your resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile and be prepared for interview questions.

    UI design

    Career Foundry is one of the few best online education platforms. Last  year I started UI design course and found it amazing. The course structure is logical, materials are easy to read and interesting, the studying process is productive and informative. You are simply getting new education at home. Separate attention deserves CareerFoundry's team. Student's advisors, mentors and tutors are really caring about your comfort and success. After all I find this platform very cool and promising for my future career.

    Helpful and gets networking started

    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.

    I really appreciate the job course as well. I have only just started it, but I feel already like I am going to have the help that I need and the support that I want. I only wish I had more calls with my career specialist, because I am anxious about it.

    User Interface

    I love my CF course! It is so self guided and truly flexible to go along with anyone’s lifestyle. As someone who struggles with self-motivation, this course is actually fun and it makes it easier to do the work for it! When I did start to fall behind, the team reached out to make sure I was okay and asked if there was anything they could do to help me. They are so kind and caring, I appreciated their approach so much. Can’t recommend CF enough!

    UI Design

    The curriculum seems to be great so far. I had an awesome tutor in the beginning and I just lost her since she became too busy with her day job. The new tutor is not working out. I'm in a process to change her to someone better suited for me, but it's taking a long time to communicate with Advisors, which is frustrating. Meanwhile, I still have a great Mentor who is helping me to learn. Job Assistance and Job Guarantee are the best selling points to this course, although I haven't got to it yet.

    I did not know what to expect when I signed up for this course given its wide subject-matter spectrum. 

    From the onset, I was impressed at how well organized the course material was, how relevant the exercises were, and how I -depth each subject matter was.

    The help and support I got from my tutor and mentor was unprecedented.
    Response was always fast, and support extremely helpful.

    UX Design Course

    The CareerFoundry UX Desgin course is an amazing course thus far! I am 4 months into the course and I have learned so much about UX Design already. This course has made me feel very confident in my knowledge and skill. They provide you with a tutor who usually responds within 24 hours and a very helpful mentor who will tell you the truth and reassure that you are on the right track. This course has given me an immense amount of direction and I'm really glad I chose CareerFoundry!

    One of the best decision I made

    I recently made a major career change and after much research, I always came back to CareerFoundry. This program has suited me well and allowed me to study while still working. The student advisors, tutor, and mentor I was assigned have been immensely helpful and influential for my studies. 
    I would highly recommend CareerFoundry to anyone looking to change their career to UI Design.
