CareerFoundry

After completing the Full Stack Web Development program and sharing my portfolio with a few people that I personally know in software, I'm confident that I am ready to start my career in the tech industry. Their approach of learning by doing is perfect for me. I started off struggling with javascript, mainly functions, but by the end of the course it was like adding 2 plus 2. My tutor John has made me so confident now in troubleshooting my own code, something that was very daunting at first. Everyone else that I ever came in contact with from the careerfoundry team were also very helpful and always messaged me back in a timely manner, often times the same day. Overall I would recommend this same course to others who are trying to make a career change into tech like I was.

After a while I get tired of reading so much, I wish you had more videos. I also don’t get the point of mentors besides reviewing projects. I understand that they’re about “the bigger picture” but I actually don’t know what to ask them about 

I’ve found that Career Foundry is all round so supportive. They answer my questions within 24 hours each time and have given me all the advice and support I could need. Resources are abundant and every little thing you could be curious about is answered and if not, given an article to where it’s answered. I’m having a great time learning from this course. I’m taking the UI/UX course and couldn’t recommend it enough.

Pros: CareerFoundry offers excellent tutor and mentor guidance, with timely and constructive feedback that significantly enhances the learning experience. The course content is thorough and covers a wide range of digital marketing skills through well-designed projects.


Cons: The AI Explain feature doesn't always function properly, and while the yellow highlight tool is a helpful addition, it can be buggy and sometimes doesn't disappear as expected.


Suggestions for Improvement:
1. Communication with student advisors and the Bildungsgutschein team could be improved. The current system, relying on Zendesk tickets or email, is slow and feels overly administrative. Implementing a chat feature within the portal for these purposes, similar to the chat features for mentors and tutors, could streamline communication and make it more efficient.
2. Additionally, Achievement 2 in the course could benefit from restructuring. It should be divided into two separate segments for SEO and email marketing. The current structure feels overwhelming, with tasks that are too demanding and could lead to burnout. Breaking it down would make it more manageable for students. Moreover, allocating a small budget for a paid keyword research tool would ease the process, as most free tools lack the necessary features to perform comprehensive keyword research.

Great course with easy  to follow step by step  learning process!
What i particularly liked about the course is that it has large number of heads on projects.I was offered data sets and easy to understand, very detailed guidelines to  follow along.
The projects are exploring number of different topics such as use of data analytics in healthcare or business.
Tutors are very helpful and  fast to reply,
Plus,they provided me with a lot of useful information that helped me to understand topic more deeply.Very exciting and heads on experience.

I'm halfway through CareerFoundry's UX Immersion section and thoroughly impressed with the well-structured and comprehensive curriculum. The deep dives into practical design skills like user research, wire-framing, and prototyping have been incredibly enriching. The hands-on projects and personalised mentor feedback have helped me solidify concepts in a real-world context. While the pace can be challenging, especially while juggling other commitments, it's manageable and keeps me engaged. Overall, I'm building a solid foundation as an aspiring UX designer, thanks to the ample support and resources.

I've been learning a ton from the CareerFoundry Full-Stack course. I've only been at it for a few months, and I already feel comfortable with basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, even though I had VERY little experience before I started. The tutors and mentors give great feedback, and I love that I can study at my own pace. 

Overall, I am really glad I chose CareerFoundry UX design course. It offers flexible learning option and it is very comprehensive. I would definitely recommend it if you want to get support from mentors and tutors and a well-structured learning path.

Honestly, I think college and university should be structured this way.  You apply what you learn after each lesson to create a portfolio to be able to present on future job applications.  Lots of support available not only for what you’re learning but also during your career search. I would highly recommend careerfoundry.  I wish I did it sooner! 

I liked that I could move at my own pace with this course. There were some sections that I needed to spend more time on and there were moments when I needed to take a personal break. My first tutor fell behind on reviewing my tasks which set me back a bit, but CareerFoundry assigned me a new tutor right away after I contacted them. Second tutor, mentor, and career specialist were attentive and helpful. They made this process so much easier and were very uplifting. There are a lot of resources provided and I did my best to take advantage of all of them. I feel like this was worth the money and a great deal compared to other programs.

Good course for beginners. Has updated course structure for product management. The instructions for the assignment are well defined along with reference assignments. The student advisors are quick in their response. 

The Career Foundry Digital Marketing course is extremely in-depth and will set you up well for a future digital marketing career. I was impressed with the amount and depth of the course materials, and the knowledge and experience of the tutors.

 Career foundry Data Analytics bootcamp is very nice. They learn us basic to advance level knowledge. I'm half of the way in the course but I get so much knowledge. My tutor and mentor both are very nice. Both are always encourage me and give good advise for my future. Personally they text me and ask me about course they also help me for my query. Career foundry course design very well. They include task, practical knowledge, technical knowledge, questionary test, etc. I'm happy to enroll in the career foundry course. Thank you so much to giving me chance to learn something from the career foundry. 

Worth investing in a course vs. wasting time trying to create a curriculum myself! Enjoying being a part of the CF community and meeting people in the field. The additional job search course has also benefited me greatly; I can use those exercises and tasks to benefit me in whatever stage I’m in within my career. 

Switching careers isn't easy, and it can feel overwhelming. I have all the resources I need to become a UX/UI designer here. With a great mentor and tutor, I can see myself growing in many ways. I'd definitely recommend it to my friends.

My time with this boot camp has been great, the program is pretty detailed and gives you the time to learn a lot of different skills that you'll be able to use in the workforce. I have such a great tutor and mentor, both are individuals who clearly want me to succeed and do my best. Whenever I need help, it's easy to get in contact with my tutor or to reach out to peers taking the course with me. I enjoy the independence the program offers as it encourages students to use problem-solving skills as you would in the real workforce.

It has been truly great so far. It is so much more than I expected and I am so happy I went with the decision to pull the trigger on taking this step forward. I thank the people at career foundry for helping me out through this entire time, I have had no inconveniences, truly just an amazing experience

I enrolled in the Data Analytics program at CareerFoundry to launch my career transition. The asynchronous learning is great for those like me who still are working and have to squeeze time in here and there. The feedback from my instructors was timely and very helpful. My tutor helped review the exercises and tasks that I would while learning each module and my mentor reviewed my portfolio projects and provided a perspective from an experienced worker in the industry. I marked "Job Assistance" as N/A because I've only met with my career specialist once and have not done the job preparation course yet so I do not have any feedback yet.

I've been learning with Career Foundry for about 6 months to study UX/UI. This is a major career change for me, and the staff, tutor I've been assigned, and grading tutor have been fantastic. They are supportive, challenging, and genuinely care about your growth and success as a student and in our career ahead of you. I would recommend Career Foundry to anyone interested in their learning topics.

The CareerFoundry Data Analytics course has been a great decision for me. With all the resources available on the internet I was skeptical about paying for a bootcamp, but the combination of the sensibly structured curriculum, frequent projects to test for understanding, graded by real tutors and mentors; I feel like I'm laying a firm foundation for a career change.
