    Awesome time, awesome community and a lot learned

    I took the UI Course with CF as I wanted to get into this field. While I had some prior knowledge in graphic design (from learning in private) I wouldn't say I had an advantage. The course was demanding but so well structured and guided that I had no trouble at all. The only thing about the curriculum that I would improve is the guidance in regard to the portfolio. I personally had no problems with it because I have some skills from before that came in handy here but I know I would have ...

    Frontend Dev. Course for Designers

    I don't have any prior knowledge about HTML, CSS or JavaScript. I am a UI design graduate from CareerFoundry back in 2018. I had a very positive experience with CareerFoundry that is why I chose to take this course with them to gain an understanding of Frontend dev. skills. The course is for 2 months with access to 1 mentor that supports and guides you through the whole process. The course is well structured, has many examples and resources. It provides the basics and you end up with cre...

    UI Design

    I'm just over half way through the UI design program and can highly recommend it if you're looking to get into UI design as a career change. There's a lot of support from your tutors, mentors, career specialists and course advisors! Throughout the course you have a chance to build up a portfolio while developing your skills, which was a really important factor when deciding which school to go with.

    Definitely, go for it.

    I am currently in more than half of a UI full time career.  I had a very kind, super nice Tutor who always sends me more and more information.  In each task I feel that I learn many things and that I am slowly building my career.  They always give us extra material to read.  My mentor is also very kind and our conversations are always enriching.  I also started the work course, the teacher seemed very nice and "down to earth/ with the feets on the ground".  I definitely recommend this co...

    Great supports from your tutor, mentor and student advisor for the whole time of studying

    Less than a year, I was looking for a new opportunity to change my job for months. I was disappointed about all those years that I did design projects and wasn't satisfied with what I had as a job. I'm over 30 and a "very conservative person" to make new decisions and change things in my life. The first time that a friend suggested me to look for UX courses, I started exploring and ask some friends in Toronto, New York and Berlin to give me a suggestion, where to study and what to do. Th...

    UX Design Immersion Course Review

    Hours of instruction: 853. That is a lot of time devoted singularly to one course of study. For me, pretty much every day over the last 6 months. One can't say it was just a superficial look into the world of UX. Though, from my studies, it's clear it is just the tip of the iceberg. I feel that the Career Foundry course and the exercises we were required to do have given me a good, real world foundation into the world of UX Design. An online course requires a large degree of sel...

    One of the best decisions I have ever made

    Back in November of 2019, I realized that my current profession is not for me. So I started doing a research on how to use my base education divert to more exciting profession. After much research and countless phone conversations with bootcamps. I decided to proceed with CF. 
    The course is structured as the following: 

    1. Intro to UX where you learn to create a sketch prototype. This also acts as the stepping stone for the next section. 
    2. UX Design immersion. This is wher...

    Great experience with a fully flexible remote program

    I want to leave my review for the "Introduction to Frontend Development course" , which is part of the Full-Stack Web Development Program. My experience so far has been awesome. What I enjoy about CareerFoundry is the fact that it's fully flexible, so you can manage your own time. I also appreciate the help I received from my tutor and mentor, who were able to give me insight into bad coding practices, industry knowledge, as well as helping me when I wasn't able to proceed on my own.

    UX Design Intro Course

    I am writing this review of the 4 week Intro to UX Design Course. I have had an amazing experience so far. I love the mentorship and guidance that CareerFoundry provides. I am glad that they started offering an intro course so that students can decide whether or not they are interested before continuing on to the full immersion courses. Based on my experience in the intro course, I am deciding to continue on to the immersion course as I feel it will be well worth it.

    Full Stack Web Development Path Review

    After doing plenty of research around the various bootcamps (and deciding that giving up my job wasn't an option) I went for the CareerFoundry Full Stack Web Development Course.

    My main reasons for choosing the course were:
    • It was remote and self-paced - This meant I could work it around my full time job.
    • The reviews I could find of the Web Development course were good.
    • The price made it an affordable option (at the time it was £25...

    CareerFoundry has helped pave the way for me to transition into a new career path. Their curriculum is appropriately comprehensive and self-paced, tuition is reasonable, and they provide an abundance of resources for every step along the way. I have no regrets and am so grateful I found them! They've also continued to stick to their job guarantee despite the COVID pandemic, which to me speaks volumes.
