Students apply via the CareerFoundry website by connecting with an advisor who can talk through their options. Students will need to pay a deposit to secure their place, then complete the required pre-work before the program commences.

A career-building course that works
Super focused career-building course, teaching the things that actually work. With help from a tutor, a mentor, and several student advisors, an answer is only ever a message and just a few hours away. The structure and tools to keep up with the course at your own pace really support a self-learn experience that can be done even while working a full-time job.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

UX Design - recommended!
I'm halfway through the UX Design course and am learning a lot. Prior to the course, I had a small amount knowledge of UX Design through my past job and this course has helped me understand it much more, particularly with the tools we used in User Research, so I can see how it can be applied to a real-life UX role. I like the structure and consistent pace of the course as well as working on the project. My tutor and mentor respond to me in good time and I find the mentor sessions valuable, encouraging and supportive.
I'd really recommend it particularly if you can put all your efforts into it. I'm currently working full-time as well as studying and have found it challenging but it's completely doable if you're very focused and keep the balance.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

UX/UI Design Immersion Course Review
I am a little over halfway through the CareerFoundry UX Immersion course and am enjoying it. The course provides a great foundation on which to build. Like any remote, self-paced program, you will get out of it exactly what you put into it. I am enjoying taking the time to learn different programs, working through the frustrations of growth, and figuring it out. They are definitely not going to do it for you which is as it should be! The tutors and mentors are great resources and be prepared to prepare and ask a lot of questions.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

UX Design
I started my UX/UI design classes with career foundry and I am glad I did, I am learning a lot and we have a wonderful support throughout the Courses. I am only steps away from getting my certificate and looking forward for new dream and new career. Even though I did not have any tech background but the UX Design course with career foundry is designed to teach you right from the very beginning and it is flexible paced program. I also enjoyed a great and helpful tutor and mentor that are their to help me and guide me throughout the course and motivate me when needed.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

The course is structured and doesn't make you feel overwhelmed. Each chapter requires you to do a task, which makes the course practical as it makes you think. Slack communities are also really helpful particularly when it comes to getting participants for your task, as this also gives you the opportunity to connect with other students. We also have a tutor and a mentor to help you throughout the course and at the end of the course, we are assigned with a career specialist to help us with our job hunt.
However, the course allows having a call with your mentors only. As most of the time, you are engaging with your tutor I think it will be really meaningful to have a call session with your tutor as well.Overall4.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors4.0 -

CareerFoundry will be so worth it if you are dedicated and put effort into it. You have access to great support system like the mentors and the student community but don't expect anyone to walk you through everything step by step. You'll get what you put into it. But the system itself is well organized and I'm grateful I had amazing mentors, especially the career specialist!Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job support5.0Instructors4.0 -

Quite happy about the CF UX Design course
The curriculum covers pretty much everything to start understanding stuff enough to go independent in deepening the knowledge. The tutoring and mentoring experience received improvement upon request and the conditions are pretty fair. Communicating with CF is pretty fast (it never took longer than 24hrs to get an answer). In February when I was looking for a course, they seemed the best for me and while I don't know what other courses really offer, I'm satisfied so far. Curious to see how the Career Counselling goes.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

This course has not been what I expected. Neither the tutoring nor mentoring has met expectations, and the course content hasn't been anything special either.
I haven't enjoyed using the platform either. The chat function is frustrating and audio functionality for the text is poor.Overall1.0Curriculum3.0Job supportN/AInstructors2.0Victoria of CareerFoundry

Mr.
Since March 29th, 2021 I opted in for a UX design course in CareerFoundry I have found it absolutely amazing. I love the structure of the course - they are well detailed and easy to understand. However, my Mentor and Tutor guiding me through this program have been helpful. They are intelligent, experienced, and time conscious to correcting of course tasks. I would recommend careerFoundry to prospective students irrespective of the choice of program. Moreover, the opportunity of supporting students to achieve his/her dream job. That means if you're unemployed and you are looking for an educative platform that will make your dream come through- CareerFoundry is the best for YOU!Overall4.0Curriculum5.0Job support4.0Instructors5.0 -
