    Great intro to UX with helpful class structure

    I'm someone who has more of a marketing background with some development experience, but not much. I'm currently taking the UX course and really enjoying it. The mentor experience is much better than I imagined. My mentor is great and super engaged. She gives me great feedback to start thinking like a UX professional.

    It's definitely a big committment and I'm struggling to keep up with the pace just a little bit with my full-time job, but it will pay off in the en...

    Really good and recommended course

    When I first encountered with the course I was excited about their Mentor-driven and Project-driven approach to teaching. It felt like what I needed to be able to do an online course. Also the price was unbeatable, and still is I think. I do have some quite minor problems with the course, but at the bottum line, only with the CareerFoundry I was able to learn programming. 

    The biggest thing I was excited about was the mentoring part. It actually what made the ...

    Great support. Comprehensive curriculum.

    My experience at CareerFoundry has been very great! Before the course I tried to teach myself web development. But I had a really hard time keeping myself motivated. So I looked into various options to learn coding properly. Compared to all the other online bootcamps out there CareerFoundry had the best price and still a very comprehensive curriculum. The course material covered the most important topics. My mentor helped me a lot when I wanted to learn more than what the actual cours...

    Positive Experience

    I enjoyed my experience going thru the CF web development course. Before attending CF, I wasn’t too sure what kind of area of development I would like to specialize in. There are so many specialities, frameworks and languages out there-it can be confusing and overwhelming at first... I’m very happy I chose CF because they teach, in my opinion, a broad spectrum of the popular frameworks out there such as Bootstrap and Ruby on Rails - it really helped me understand the...

    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.

    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.
