CareerFoundry is great
I'm currently enrolled in CareerFoundry's full stack web development program.
All of the learning is on-demand, and you are provided a tutor to review daily tasks and a mentor to review projects and have regular Skype calls with.
The program is time flexible, so you can work whenever and how many hours you want at any pace with internet connection you want. What is the biggest plus for me.
I'm just half-way through the course, so I haven't yet started my job search, so I can not comment on the job assistance. Since I was starting with programming and web development from the scratch, I am very satisfied with the program and the way of teaching, committing and developing the necessary skills that be needed in me is fitting so perfect to me and my situation.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors4.0 -

The platform which Career Foundry is providing is amazing for people like me who don't have any background or knowledge of this field. I am really enjoying the course material and the tasks. The tutor and mentor always help you and guide you whenever you need them. Also my experience with student advisors is amazing as they will help you in every possible ways. I would definitely recommend this course to someone who is looking for a career change or wants to become a UX Designer.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

The course is separated into two modules, Intro to UX and UX Immersion Course. I'm now almost through half of the UX Immersion Course and my experience is so far great! The two things I like the most are the flexibility to work on my own schedule, but of course respecting the deadlines, and the support from the tutor and mentor. Even though is an online course, you receive actual feedback and personalized mentoring.
I truly recommend this course, especially if you are able to have your own schedule (without the need of someone always reminding you), can work by yourself, and can keep up with deadlines.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

I am half-way through my UX course with Career Foundry and I'm so happy I found this program. Self-paced and fully remote, this has been the best choice for me, as I can still work while completing my program. My tutor has proved to be very helpful, so that I always feel that I have support.

UX Design Program Review
The UX Design Program is a great way to learn the process of UX design! The material is very in-depth and very applicable to what I would be doing in this field. The mentors and tutors are very professional and are quick to offer help. Getting help from people that are already working in UX design is very beneficial. The only thing I would change or suggest is adding some more details to the expectations for the tasks at the end of the exercises. Sometimes, how to get to the objectives of the tasks is not clear. Overall, this has been a great experience and I look forward to my continued learning through CareerFoundry!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

Whitney LaValleStudent · Data Analytics Program · Graduation year 2022
Data Analytics
This course begins with a 4 week intro course as an intro to analytics, then dives into a 55-task immersion course. I am closing in on the halfway mark, and have been very impressed so far. The lessons are broken into manageable pieces and I feel very competent in each subject once I finish a section. I am nearing the end of the Tableau work (10 exercises) and I feel confident I could make a Tableau dashboard in a professional environment. My mentor and tutor provided have also been great and been readily available for any questions, whether that be the course material or the industry of data analytics itself. Overall, I was very nervous to do a bootcamp as it is completely uncharted territory for me and CareerFoundry has made me confident in my decision.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -
CamillaDesigner/B2B · UX Design Program
Love it!
After reviewing many Ux program I finally landed in choosing CF. So far it has exceeded my already good expectations. I have the community of other fellow students, my mentor and tutor to guide me with their professional experience. They give me great feedback that I truly grow from and to better and better all the time. Sure, there are times when it’s hard to stay motivated. But just reach out the the community or your tutor to help you get back on track. I like that I can work part time and still have time for my studies. I also like how the program is built with easy to understand time lines, achievements and goals. I recommend this school and I’m happy that I choose it to help me make a career change,Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support4.0Instructors5.0 -
Marta KoziarzStudent · UX Designer · Graduation year 2022
Top-notch UX Design Experience
Although the course is super intense and demanding (and I honestly mean it), I consider it one of the best educational choices I have made. I tried some other UX courses in the past; however, they all missed one thing: STRUCTURE.
The amount of support you receive in order to succeed is enormous, and I am saying this as a newbie in the field. I appreciate the information and the instructions delivered and the proficiency and friendliness of my tutor, mentor, and the entire CF community. I can honestly recommend it to anybody who wishes to change his professional path.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

I have met some wonderful people that I call friends and all that in the comfort of my own home. Highly recommended!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -
