    THINK VERY HARD BEFORE ENROLLING!!!

    Think very hard before enrolling in this course! The promises made to you before enrolling are NOT going to be your reality. "75 days average" time to finding a new job. I know people that have finished the course and have been looking for a job for almost 2 years and can't even get interviews. "Job Guarantee" Read the fine print!!! So many stipulations to this making it almost impossible to actually qualify to get your money back. In fact, this was the first thing my mentor told me on o...

    Do not sign up for Data Analytics Program

    Trying to learn from this curriculum is like trying to learn to read, but the instructors only tell you about the alphabet they don't actually tell you what each letter sounds like, or how to put them together in sounds. They tell you what to do, but not how to do it. They use 10,000 words and make things way more complicated when 100 words would do. You end up having to use google and youtube to teach yourself. On top of that the tutors and mentors they promise are useless. They are wor...

    It was an amazing experience

    During my last job last year I participated the UI-Design course. I was an amazing experience, I learned a lot and received a lot of new tools and new contacts from all around the world.  
    After completing the course at CareerFoundry, I started the Job-preparation course and together with my mentor from CF, we started to prepare me for the application process.
    It was not an easy time for me, personally and professionally, and they supported and strengthened me the whole time.

    Incredible feedback after course submissions

    I want to take time to give thanks to CareerFoundry for their amazing feedback system, where they ensure you are always learning and make this an enjoyable experience. I’ve had a few personal struggles during the course and they’ve been able to look out and give me time to catch up in my own time.

    Great UI Course Bootcamp

    I’m half way through the UI bootcamp course, and so far it’s been great! It’s straight to the point and very relevant to the real world work. I love my mentors and tutor, they have been really helpful.

    Transformative Learning Journey

    My journey into the world of UX design began a year ago, right after I wrapped up a concise yet invaluable Critical Thinking and Problem-solving course. My quest for a comprehensive and meticulously structured program consistently led me to the CareerFoundry platform. To dip my toes into the UX waters, I embarked on their introductory course, which further solidified my resolve to commit to their full-fledged UX Designer course.

    One of the aspects that immediately drew me in was t...

    Great experience, terrific mentorship.

    CareerFoundry has been one of the best online learning experiences I've had so far. The material is presented in a clear, easy-to-follow format, while the content itself is broken down to the most minute detail. Even the most complicated concepts become easy to understand. The academic and professional support are great too. Coming from a completely different background, I needed lots of help throughout the course, and the CareerFoundry team was always there to get me through it.

    Waste of time

    7k for a UI/UX course in today's job market is a joke. Most of the "mentors" clearly do not care and put forth the absolute bare minimum. Further, good luck getting a UI/UX job without experience. Don't waste your time and certainly don't waste your money.

    I decided to go with CareerFoundry' UX Design Bootcamp to learn and indulge in everything UX/UI. So far, I've been finding a great mix of happy learning, and challenges which is important so I can grasp and eventually apply these technicalities in real-life projects. The tutors and mentors are amazing and always so great at communicating their feedback to me, which is pivotal in my learning.

    An exciting learning experience

    It has been a motivating and exciting journey for me so far in the Data Analytics boot camp with Career Foundry.  The course is exhaustive with hands on exercise at the end of each topic apart from a detailed project work after every major milestone.  With the constant reviews and feedback from experienced mentor and tutor, I've never felt lost.  I am looking forward for applying all my learnings in the real life scenario.

    Fun and Informative!

    I was skeptical going into this bootcamp since I haven't been in school for 3 years. I have also never tried online learning before and wasn't sure if I was going to be able to hold myself accountable. Honestly, this is a really great program. Each exercise is informative and the assignments have a fool proof way of getting the details across that you need to include. If you're stuck, you have a tutor and a mentor you can reach out to for clarification. This process is going very smoothl...

    Perfect balance between immersion and flexibility

    I choose this bootcamp beacause I wanted to be able to slow down when I am busy and accelerate when I am free.
    Well, I am more than happy with the actual result. The lessons are clearly explained, with real world practical examples.
    CarreerFoundry approach helps to master complex concepts by studiying alone, even if my tutor mentor and other students are also present to help. My tutor and mentor are great, they provide timely, regular and extremelly useful feedback after each exerc...
