UX Design
I did not come from a tech background. The UX Design CareerFoundry course has provided me an outline to learn about many facets of the UX realm, to stay focused on the scope of the course, and encouragement to stay at a constant pace. It is really helpful having each assignment reviewed and graded by a tutor. The mentors are very helpful on providing industry advice. I have only just started the job prep course, but feel that it will be helpful to create a job search strategy, and have a great presentation of my portfolio. Overall I would highly recommend this course.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Great part-time option for UX
I'm half way through my Career Foundry UX Immersion course and really enjoying it. When I was searching for a programme it was crucial that it could be part-time. Career Foundry was one of the few part-time options I found which also offered mentorship and career support. The course platform helps you track how often you need to submit tasks and shows how long they are expected to take. There is a useful Slack community. The tudors and student advisors are very responsive to any questions. The learning is mainly through reading and completing tasks.Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job support4.0Instructors4.0 -

The UX Bootcamp at Careerfoundry provides the right amount of guidance and hand-holding for career changers. I come from an engineering background with no real design experience and I thoroughly enjoyed the course work. It was very hands-on and my mentor during the immersion phase was very helpful. She guided me technically and in a detail oriented manner and encouraged me constantly to find my own style.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job support3.0Instructors4.0 -

I recommend the CareerFondry course in UX Design. After finishing my portfolio and resume, I submitted my application and got a job in less dan two weeks! I started the program not knowing anything, and now I have become an expert in the field.
Thanks to the course, I felt very confident about myself and the acquired skills during the interview. I am pleased about my new job and ready for bigger challenges!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Very well organized
I researched a lot of programs - anywhere from degree programs to certificates - and I interviewed people in the industry. So many people working in the industry said getting a "degree" wasn't necessary, and I didn't want to spend 2 years in school. After narrowing down programs with the best reviews and student feedback, and comparing cost among my top picks, I chose Career Foundry. I like that it's a German company because I know German education standards are very high. I like that you have a tutor and a mentor and that a huge component of the program is job placement, which is offered for up to 6 months after the program for grads. It's very well-designed and thought out, easy to follow, and most everyone is very nice. The culture isn't snooty or hipster, it's just - learn and get a job, which was what I was looking for. Very happy with my experience.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job supportN/AInstructors4.0 -

UX Course is Fantastic
I am currently taking the UX Design program and loving it. I love how you are in charge of your own schedule and pace. The course is structured more like a job than school which makes it feel even more authentic. The way they break the material down into readings & tasks makes it much more digestible. The resources provided are fantastic. My mentor and tutor have been so wonderful helping me through the course and providing real world insights so I’m best prepared. Would highly recommend!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

About CareerFoundry or is the 5k euro course worth the money?
I moved to Berlin a year and a half ago with 3 years of experience as a UX/UI designer in Ukraine, but this knowledge was not enough to find a job in Berlin. UX is much more important here, so I decided to find a training course to improve my skills.
I found out about these courses when several of the guys who interviewed me were taking them. One of them just graduated and got a very good job, even though his only previous experience was in product design (not the IT field).
The most frequent question: do you like it?
The answer is YES! 🙌🏻
The class consists of theory, a mini quiz, an assignment, and feedback. I have a mentor - takes basic assignments, a mentor - gives feedback on the module, and managers - answer organizational questions. They also added a chat room for 10,000 people [their students and alumni]. A new stream starts every 2 weeks.
Generally, taking the course feels like going to work😬
Tasks are full-fledged, not for 5 minutes, but as it is said in the approximate time of 5-6 hours each. There's a full-fledged workout of the skills you need to work as a UX designer.
But the most valuable thing here is the feedback. The answer is not only you are good, but they can send you additional articles, point you in the right direction, record a video screen with the task parsing. Anyway, every time I'm excited to get messages ✉️ because they improve the work.

Great camp for total beginners like I was. The key is to ask your mentor and tutor every question you can about the field as you go through the course. They’re your biggest cheerleaders.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Review For CareerFoundry
My experience with CareerFoundry so far has been a great experience. I feel like I’m learning the process into creating good UI design that I would have never learned just looking at random videos on the internet. The assistance of my tutor and mentor has helped me along the way to make my projects better and more cohesive so that they are worthy to be put in portfolio. I’m excited to see more to come as I wrap up my bootcamp.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Great first Boot Camp experience!
My first experience of a "boot camp", whilst obviously hard work, is very positive. I'm just over half way through, am learning a lot very, very quickly and have nothing but praise for the organisation, set up and support from my tutor, mentor and the support staff. I look forward to completing it and seeing where it takes meOverall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Exceeding Expectations
Completely exceeding expectations is the best way I can describe my experience with CareerFoundry, and the fact that I signed up and paid for the course in the first place goes to show that I had pretty high expectations to begin with.
My portfolio, resume, and knowledge are beyond what I had hoped for. If someone had told me that I would walk away from this course with the skills, knowledge, and portfolio that I feel that I currently have, I would have signed up much sooner (or maybe just wouldn’t have believed them)
The staff is incredibly helpful, patient, and friendly. My mentors and tutors were available, encouraging, motivating, and humble. They all provided an environment where I could ask any question (no matter how ridiculous I thought it may have been) and explained in detail all sorts of real-world situations I may encounter. They were there to support me through any and all frustrations and hiccups and worked hard to keep me on track.
My student advisors were always friendly and quick to answer my questions no matter how many I had. At one point I was accidentally given wrong information which put me in a position where I wasn’t going to finish my Job Prep on time. They quickly took responsibility and resolved the issue for me by extending my deadline a week so that I could finish on time.
They do a great job keeping you on track. Between my mentors, tutors, and tracking schedule on my dashboard, CF does a great job helping its students maintain movement throughout the courses allowing them to appropriately pace themselves to ensure reaching their goals by the set deadlines.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Careerfoundry UI Design Program
I'm more than halfway through Careerfoundry's UI Design program and can already say with confidence the courses really prepare you for real-life projects and provides more than enough tools to give you the confidence and proficiency needed to start the job search. Of course, you have to put in the work, time, and motivation to put together a professional portfolio - but all the tools, resources, and one-on-one mentor calls and a tutor are provided to ease you into the process. It's tough, as all self-motivated bootcamp programs, but I want to be prepared with all the foundational knowledge and experience what real-life work projects will involve to feel fully prepared once I start the job search. The support community is phenomenal and you won't ever feel like you're struggling through the programs on your own!Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job support4.0Instructors4.0 -

A great UX bootcamp at a great price!
I'm about half way through the CareerFoundry course and am a huge fan!
They offer great knowledge and with professional UX designers as your tutors and mentor you get detailed feedback and advice currently in the industry.
By having a self paced course, I did the online, you can fit it into your schedule as needed and you really get control over your education. I find my talks with my mentor invaluable. Tutors are limited in what they can discuss with you but they have been great as well. You also get other resources and tools to expand your knowledge and portfolio pieces.
I also was a fan of the price it's about half other bootcamps and can receive scholarships and is very much worth the value. They have great connections with alumni and companies which are necessary for the workforce. I also liked their job guarantee with salary.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Career Foundry is the best in market
I am a UX designer who decided to upskill myself when I moved to the US. I was always interested in the Voice Design industry and wanted to learn professionally. From what I know, Career Foundry is the only boot-camp platform that has a Voice Design course. They are transparent and list out all the details like fees, duration, start date, and syllabus right on their website. There are no hidden costs or terms and conditions. The course is designed in a way that is easy to understand and has actionable tasks. I have an excellent mentor who is always available to solve my doubts and review my assignments. The support team at Career Foundry is professional, making the entire process very seamless. They are always ready to help and do not leave you unguided. I am happy with my decision to join Career Foundry.Overall4.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0
