    Careerfoundry gets you where you need to go

    I was really nervous starting this course way outside of my comfort zone. Careerfoundry has been so supportive in every single aspect. From support and understanding with organising payments, the tutors and mentors for this course, I have so many options in terms of asking for help and clarification, I have access to students also undergoing the same course, they remind me of things I forget that are important for my study journey, career advice, the whole 9 yards. Truly careerfoundry go...

    Changed Careers in 6 Months

    CareerFoundry gave me the platform and boost to change my career. I went from a non-design background to landing a full-time digital product designer internship within 6 months. My mentor experience was incredible and I am grateful for the feedback, encouragement and industry trips I received from both my tutor and mentor. I chose the course partly because of the self-paced approach. You truly get out of it what you put into it. My biggest tip: Make friends with fellow students via the a...

    UX Design

    I am currently a student at Careerfoundry and it's one of the best decisions I've made.

Careerfoundry provides a comprehensive curriculum: Intro to UX, UX immersion, Job Preparation, and a Specialization course. The course takes 10 months to complete, yet people manage to complete the course in 6 months. B...

    If you work hard, CF will work hard to help you succeed

    Brilliant school, it offers a lot. If you have have the time to use all it offers you can do brilliantly. It’s platform is well done, it encourages you to keep going, by splitting the course into manageable bits. The job preparation course is what really makes the course stand out for me, in the end you want a job, and just some nice portfolio case studies most likely doesn’t get you the job you want. The profile prep, interview prep and guide on the job journey is totally worth the mone...

    Best online school

    When you go to school you will always hear your professors tell you that you will learn on the job. This is the first school where I've learned at school and I'm confident to start work. It feels like I have few years of experience. 
    The tutors are patient and very resourceful.

    Web development course review

    I am enrolled in the CareerFoundry Web development course, and honestly can say that so far it has been a very good experience. There are loads of links to additional reading and materials, and the course content itself is very good. I love the fact that you get assigned a tutor and a mentor and you have a community that can reach out to. The course itself is quite intense as well and covers a lot of aspects of web development.

    CareerFoundry works for me

    Good reviews from YouTube led me to find CareerFoundry when I decided to make a career change amid COVID-19. I have to say that I'm impressed with their program.

I've connected with different students all over the world and been partnered up with a mentor (one of the reasons I enrolled in...

    Best decision I've made in 2020

    I had heard about CareerFoundry and it always seemed like a promising path to take; but at the time I did not have the financial or time resources to sign up. After a few years, CF was still in the back of my mind and during the pandemic I decided to finally take the leap. 

    Although I admit that the first month had some bumps (mentor had not shown up to the scheduled call..(two times in a row) for example), I decided to keep on going and hoped that my faith would be restored in the...
