    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...

    Amazingly Relevant

    This is a fast paced and thorough course that really aims to not waste your time. Rather than creating pointless project after project, you work to create your own portfolio for the future. After each exercise my brain is exhaustedly full of new information and I am excited to try new things and test the limits of what I have learned. With supplemental information bursting at the seams, I don't even need to step away from my screen to dive into a subject that piques my interest. 10 out o...

    This Bootcamp Doesn’t Teach Real-World Product Design

    Don't waste your money on this bootcamp. It doesn't teach real-world product design—not even close. The curriculum might seem promising at first, but once you gain some actual industry knowledge, you'll realize that what they teach isn't applicable in the real world.The mentors aren’t the right fit either:
    • My UX mentor was a UX researcher, not a product designer.
    • My UI mentor was neither particularly good nor bad, but I didn’t learn much from him.

    I'm in the middle of the course now: It's easy to follow and I have two people who help me with any questions I have. When I had an issue with one she was switched to someone else two days later. The assignments break up the project in small parts that make up the big picture and I'm enjoying my time!

    A Must-Take Course for Aspiring Marketers

    This marketing course exceeded my expectations! It provided a well-structured learning experience with practical assignments that allowed me to apply key concepts in real-world scenarios. I especially appreciated the hands-on approach to SEO, keyword research, Google Analytics, and email automation. The lessons on brand messaging and buyer personas helped me better understand how to connect with target audiences effectively.

    Transformative Learning Experience with CareerFoundry

    The Product Design Program at CareerFoundry has been an incredible experience that exceeded my expectations. The course is thoughtfully structured, covering essential topics like wireframing, design thinking, prototyping, and UX/UI design. What makes it stand out is the hands-on approach, where you work on real-world projects that prepare you for the industry.

    Difficult at first, easier as I kept going

    Online courses can be challenging when it comes to motivation for me, I find that the way CF breaks down the topics and building it up slowly makes it easier. It also helps that the tutor and mentor are available and give feedback right away. They are kind and respectful. I like the specific feedback. Overall I am learning a lot, and feeling less intimidated as I go. A lot of the work is on me to do but because the materials are easy to read and absorb, I have kept going.

    Product Design Course

    Guys, no way!! Please don't make the same mistake I did. This course is just a book about an old UI UX Knowledge for 10k$. Very text-heavy, not up to date, with strange teachers whom I can't even find on LinkedIn. Please invest this money in better ways of learning and self-improvement. Because this course its a total scam for 10k$, where they make monay on Agentur fur Arbeit and pay attention to how many people they enroll per month, that's it. I wish I didn't enroll in it :(
