    Awesome!

    I have almost completed career foundry’s UI design bootcamp, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The program was not only well-structured but also led by knowledgeable and supportive instructors. I was impressed by the up-to-date curriculum that covered the latest industry trends and tools. The hands-on projects allowed me to apply what I learned and build a strong portfolio. The bootcamp also fostered a sense of community, with fellow students and mentors always willing to help. Overall, it was a fantastic journey that has significantly boosted my UI design skills and career prospects. I highly recommend this bootcamp to anyone looking to kickstart their design career.

    Best course ever! ✨

    Before embarking on my career change, I conducted extensive research on available courses to ensure I made an informed decision. While I tried a few online courses, none quite compared to my experience with CareerFoundry. What initially drew me in was their offering of small, free courses, which allowed me to confirm if UX UI design was the right path for me before committing to a substantial course fee. After reading their website and reviews and completing these free courses, I was confident that this field was my calling, and a few months later, I decided to enroll. It turned out to be the best decision I've ever made. I'm set to complete my course in December and am currently working on my portfolio. The support and guidance here are exceptional, but what truly sets CareerFoundry apart is the firsthand expertise from professionals in the field. The feedback from my mentor and tutor has been invaluable, and I'm genuinely learning something new every day.

    Challenging and Rewarding

    My experience has been challenging, mainly because I am new to the world of UI/UX design. I have been extremely lucky to have been paired up with an AMAZING tutor and mentor. The student advisor team is quick to help with any issues and has shown so much kindness. I only wish the lessons would have been like the videos that were presented during the free bootcamp that I had taken before signing up. However, this has been a great process!

    A truly engaging experience!

    I'm almost halfway through the UX Design Program and my experience so far has been great.  There's lots of material and engaging assignments, everything is beautifully presented with plenty of resources and reference material to hand.  My tutor and mentor have been really helpful, offering valuable insight and constructive criticism along the way - all really positive.  As a career changer, I'm excited about what else the course will bring, and my future role in UX.  I highly recommend the course to anyone with an interest in UX.

    A Perfect Blend of Theory and Practice

    I'm really enjoying my journey through this data analytics program. What sets this course apart for me is its well-structured, text-based format. There's no need to invest a ton of time in video content; instead, the written curriculum is comprehensive and to the point.

    What I find most rewarding is the program's hands-on approach in every lesson. After delving into the theoretical aspects, I get to apply what I've learned right away through practical exercises. This seamless transition from theory to practice not only solidifies my understanding but also gives me real-world skills that I find invaluable.

    In summary, this program offers a balanced blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application, making it an excellent choice for anyone serious about advancing their skills in data analytics.

The farther I get into the course, the more I realize I don't know, but this has helped me know what areas to continue researching and learning on my own.

    Career foundry has been amazing! In just a few short months I’m creating prototypes for APPS! What! This from the girl who could barely turn the computer on! The mentorship and tutoring have been essential and the course material is laid out well! I never thought I’d be able to become a UI designer but here I am doing it and loving it!

    Easy to navigate and great content

    I've been working through the course for a few months now and I'm very happy with my decision to choose CareerFoundry. I work full-time so the fact that it's self-paced and entirely online works with my schedule. I get feedback from my tutor on every assignment with great advice and suggestions. I get to schedule 1:1 meetings with my mentor to go over my portfolio and ask questions related to the work, the industry and my portfolio. The student advisors have also been very helpful and are quick to reply to any inquiries. As with any of these types of courses, there's always going to be more to learn so I know I won't know everything when I graduate, but I'll have a great foundation to land a UX job.

I like that the course is self-paced so I can complete it on my own time, and it tells me how much progress I’ve made. The material is straightforward and they provide lots of examples which help a lot. Would recommend CF :)

    Career Foundry - Data Analytics

    I have been really enjoying the boot camp! I am utilizing Career Foundry's boot camp, YouTube tutorials, and self teaching via learning courses.  While I am learning things through other methods just fine, I really would have experienced issues with staying on track and focusing in general without Career Foundry's course design.  The structure it provides gives my self learning a very supportive backbone and direction.  Most invaluable though, is the access to a mentor.  I find that I can write down questions throughout the week, from my learning, and they are sooooo friendly about it.  The amount of details they provide and the guidance and advice alone is worth the course fee.  I am almost halfway through and have not regretted any of it :)!

    Overall, I like the system of CareerFoundry. But...

    Overall, I like the system and curriculum of the career foundation. However, one regrettable thing is that there is no data in video or audio. If you have video or audio material that reads or shows all the lessons, you can listen to them while walking, driving, or exercising, which will be more convenient for users.
    I would be happy if CareerFoundry could produce more audio and video materials not only for UX and UI design but also for web development, data analytics, digital marketing, and product management.

    Challenging and Accessible

    So far, my experience with Career Foundry's Data Analytics program has been very positive. The material is introduced in a way that is easily digestible and at an appropriate pace for someone completely new to the field. I've been matched with a great tutor and mentor who have answered my many questions in great detail, which has helped me immensely with my assignments and my overall knowledge of the field. The flexibility of timing was also a big reason I chose CareerFoundry over other bootcamps and that is working very well for me now. I'm able to work extra fast during less busy months at work to account for later busy periods. My only slight criticism would be that as the texts are quite long, it would be nice if there were a more equal mix of reading and videos. However, CareerFoundry often links additional resources which often include videos that explain the concepts. Also, the more I learn about each concept, it becomes easier for me to search up additional videos on the subject on my own.

     I'm looking forward to continuing on in the course!

    I definitely picked out the right course for me!

    This course is one-of-its kind as a UX Professional who wanted to level up in UI, I searched far and wide for a course that would help me sharpen just my UI skills and understanding, and this course has done just that. My mentor AND tutor are both such a great help — and this course provides assistance in finding the right job for you afterwards. I love that it's parced up into achievements and after every achievement I get to work on my portfolio early in the process as well. My tutor even helps me out with finding the right plugins to make my workflow faster. I think this is the perfect course for anyone who wants to transition into a particular field or even level-up. Couldn't recommend it more!

    CareerFoundry’s Digital Marketing Program is worth every penny! The professors very thorough with their feedback and provide it at a timely manner. Whenever your assignments need to be corrected they tell you in a very cordial manner. Also, the student advisors are there to help you with any problems you might have throughout the course. Whether it’s billing or motivation, they cover it all. I was honestly a little skeptical about starting the course but it has gone very smooth and I can’t wait to apply everything I’m learning to the work field. Thank you CareerFoundry for providing high quality learning experiences! :)

    Career Foundry is a great program for learning data analytics. Skills are broken down into easy to understand steps, and assignments are project based which provides applicable experience. Its a great course for beginners. I had very little experience with data analytics before starting and have gain a lot of knowledge and experience from this program. The tutors and mentors assigned are very knowledgeable, respond quickly to questions, and provide meaningful insights on project reviews. Overall a good place to go if you want to learn data analytics from the ground up.
