    UX Design + Job Prep

    I have had a great experience at CareerFoundry. I loved every minute of learning and interacting with my mentors who really guided me. You never really feel left out even if it's fully remote. The instructors are very professional and clear in their guidance. At the end of the my UX courses I even had access to their Career Preparation cours that helps me land a great job! Thank you all for the help!

    Great experience!

    I started the course with many doubts, it was an unexpected decision after obtaining my degree in Industrial Design. It was a time of many changes for me so I didn't know if I could really keep up with the course and if it was worth the effort. Today I can say that I am more than happy not only with the way the course is developed and the dynamics of the content, but also for the support I really receive from the teachers and the motivation that this causes me day by day! I think I really made the right choice and I have high expectations to graduate and start this career that I fell in love with in such a short time! Thank you CareerFoundry for the opportunity and the fulfillment!

The work is not a walk in the park, but it's worth it! In addition to all these tasks, my portfolio grows almost incidentally. CF is somehow always one step ahead of me and that drives me!

    Data Analytics Course

    It took me a while to sign up for this course and I am glad I did it, I am now half way done with the course and so far I have been really enjoying it.

    What I like the most about the course is that its self-pace, it requires a lot of self discipline and time management of course since I am working full-time but once I got the right structure everything is doable. I also really appreciated the help and support from my mentor and tutor.

    I find it fascinating how my mindset and perspective evolves during the course (for the better of course) and I am really glad I made the decision for join the data analytics program at Career Foundry.

    The course is amazing. The material is really easy to follow, resources will be always recommended in the end of each lesson or by your tutor (I don't have always time to go through them all), and you feel really supported (it's mostly casual but professional).
    My advice for anyone interested; read some of the articles on Careerfoundry's blog or watch some of the videos on YouTube channel (make your own research) to find out if you are really interested in the course subject, and take advantage of the free 7 days course that Careerfoundry provide for anyone who is interested. This is exactly what I did; a week of research and on the 3rd day of the free course I applied. I'm having great time, and enjoying the course while working a full time job.

    My 180 Careeer Switch

    Upon writing this please note that I have completed more than 75% of the course and have NOT done the job preparation course yet. 

    Without further ado, I would like to say that it has been a neat experience. I was originally a medical assistant and was prehealth for some time but due to life, decided I wanted a job where I could work from home potentially so hence UX Design came up. 

    The cost I believe is fairly reasonable compared to other programs I checked out (General Assembly and Uc Berkeley’s UX program) and also the most flexible for me (self pace program) and there was a part time option which I did. 

    Starting the course was a bit rocky for me because I had no experience whatsoever but thankful for my mentor and tutor. My tutor actually was then one that really gave me great feedback and great resources after each assignment. I was bummed out that he switched halfway through my program but that was because he got promoted to Mentor so that’s awesome! 

    Curriculum is not too hard but will take work. I personally would read through the material and take notes so that I could review them later or wherever I was. The only down side was that the project you work on is not actually solving a real company’s problem so it’s not a real live world project but it’s super helpful to go through the design process. Personally, I’m learning a lot about the nitty gritty details are  of UX Design this way since i can focus more on learning than doing but it depends on what you like.

    I also learned a lot of programs and CF al offers discounts on certain programs like Balsamiq and Adobe XD ( Among some others). 

    Overall, I would say it’s a great program if you have the time and are looking to get your feet wet into the UXDesign. Since it is selfpace and self study, motivation is greatly needed. Thankfully there is a CF slack channel that gets lively!

    You don't need to wonder anymore!

    I'm finishing my UX course at CareerFoundry and it definitely worth its money and all the effort. They built the whole journey based on the experience of the potential students. Starting with the articles in the blog, when you're in the wondering phase what to do and which way to go; to tutor and mentor, who are very helpful and motivating; to curriculum, which is written in very friendly and comprehensible language; to the vast community from all over the world; to own paced studying; to the Job guarantee option, where if you don't find a job in 6 months after the end of the course they will refund you the money. What else you would need?

    Student · Data Analytics Program

    Data Analytics program

    I am close to the middle of this course, so far I have covered some Excel and Tableau. What I like the most about this program is that every single thing that is covered, is linked to a project that I need to create and submit for review. Then I get feedback on my work and anything I need to change or work on in more detail. 
    The only thing I would like to see is more videos embedded in the lessons. Sometimes it is easier for me to watch a video and then repeat the steps because this way I know (visually) where and how I need to do things. When I read things and it is more difficult to translate words to a visual that I need to figure out on the program that we are working on... 
    I love to feel that there is always someone that I can communicate with, and they are interested in helping us!

    From Bootcamp to Web Developer

    CareerFoundry exceeded my expectations for a web development bootcamp. I took their free web dev short course to get a feel for the program and never looked back. The curriculum is  thorough and well-structured, challenging but doable, and it's not an exaggeration to say the course changed my life.

    I was interested in the  CareerFoundry course specifically because you have access to mentorship, and that made all the difference for me. My tutor went above and beyond, and I felt consistently supported by the entire team, program and all of the resources they made available. As someone who was convinced they couldn't learn to code, this was invaluable.

    I'm now building websites for a local firm and have started a freelance business. Highly recommend CareerFoundry!

    The complete package

    CareerFoundry provides a remarkable curriculum. Well-balanced content with the dual mentor-tutor system, which is very helpful to guide the students and provide different points of view to advance in the coursework. The course starts covering the basics in the Introductory course to gradually level up to highly specialized content. Highly recommendable for those who may want to make a career change or broaden their studies.

    CareerFoundry was the most PERFECT choice for me!

    Quitting my stable job to do a boot camp for web development was not an easy choice so I definitely took my time researching the right boot camp. Honestly, I have not regretted choosing CareerFoundry ever since I joined. I was so lucky to have been paired with such an amazing mentor who LOVES to teach, and that’s really hard to find sometimes. I also got lucky with my tutor who’s always available to help even though I know he’s also busy with his own life and other students, but he always manages to find time to help me. The student advisors are genuinely there to help you succeed so when I was having a hard time in my personal life, they understood and tried to help me out. Even just with advice to keep me going, they were there. I am so appreciative of CareerFoundy because I’m learning so much from their curriculum. Although I’m not finished with my entire course, I truly am grateful for everything CareerFoundry has offered me so far!
