Great Program for Career Change & Upskilling
Initially I enrolled to improve my data analytical skills particularly in SQL, Tableau, and Python, but fortunately I got the opportunity to learn a lot more than that. I appreciate having an assigned tutor, mentor, and career specialist to ask questions and get personalized responses in a timely manner (within 8-16 hours). All three were detailed in their feedback on my assignments, and gave me useful tips for improvement in the future.

I appreciate having an assigned tutor, mentor, and career specialist to ask questions and get personalized responses in a timely manner (within 8-16 hours). All three were detailed in their feedback on my assignments, and gave me useful tips for improvement in the future. I also appreciated that they're practitioners in the field, so I got a "real-world" perspective as it related to the fundamentals we were learning throughout the lessons. The lessons were broken down in a clear and easy-to-follow manner, so it's definitely doable for beginners and those who looking for a career change. Though there were definitely some challenging lessons for sure, they were never unreasonable for a student. While I'm not currently looking for a career change, I'm still participating in the job preparation portion of the course as it provides great tips and tools I may be able to use in the future. I particularly found the elevator pitch and resume building lessons beneficial as it helped me reframe how I present myself both verbally and on paper. - Shawn-Michelle JohnsonStudent • UX Design Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInMay 08, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Worth Losing My Job For!
I learned about this program when my job was on the line and I was being pushed to go back to college for a Bachelor degree. As there wasn’t a degree option relevant to my job, I pitched the Digital Marketing program at Career Foundry which I’d found while doing extensive research. It had great reviews and I had a phenomenal experience with my Admissions rep. Learning about career guarantee, the specialization, and the ability to have access to other courses made it even better.

It had great reviews and I had a phenomenal experience with my Admissions rep. Learning about career guarantee, the specialization, and the ability to have access to other courses made it even better. The company didn’t support the idea so I was let go and I immediately enrolled in the UX Design program. I’ve been in it for 2.5 months now and have absolutely no regrets. I have a great tutor and knowledgeable mentor and am impressed all around.

At present, I'm pursuing the UX Design Course and have completed one-third of the second segment. This marks a complete transition in my career, and I found the Intro to UX (the initial milestone) to be an excellent primer on the topic, with no overwhelming or unattainable aspects. It has equipped me with all the necessary tools to navigate the remainder of the course.

Grateful for CareerFoundry
I spent a lot of time reviewing different bootcamps to take for UX design, and CareerFoundry stood out to me as the best. Their pricing is fair, and the lessons are good. I love getting to learn by doing, and CareerFoundry does a great job of setting up each lesson with a practice assignment at the end. I also love that I have a personal tutor, and a mentor that I get to meet with once a week for advice and guidance. I could not recommend CareerFoundry enough.

Best Educational Experience I've had so far!
I started my CF program in UI Design on January, 2022 and finished it on January, 2023 so it took me a little longer than I expected to finish but I did so with a full-time job. Before getting into the CF program I started learning progressively with youtube videos, then Coursera courses and finally CF program. This way I made sure I was making the right choice in my career change journey into Tech from Aviation. I can't stress enough how good this program is and I have a bachelors in me...I started my CF program in UI Design on January, 2022 and finished it on January, 2023 so it took me a little longer than I expected to finish but I did so with a full-time job. Before getting into the CF program I started learning progressively with youtube videos, then Coursera courses and finally CF program. This way I made sure I was making the right choice in my career change journey into Tech from Aviation. I can't stress enough how good this program is and I have a bachelors in mechanical engineering. CF gives you literally everything you need to do a career change. You will get a tutor and a mentor that are experienced (and working) in the industry and after you finished the program they provide an invaluable course on job preparation that gives you all the tools you need to find that first job. Also, you get a mentor for your job prep too. CF will give you all the tools you need to have a successful educational transition into the real world of tech but it requires the students effort to make it work. This is a 50/50 deal and it can only work if you take every suggestion and implement it. They know what they are doing but without proper student execution it wont matter. Be ready to study hard and give it your all and take every single course from the introductory ones to the job prep, it is really worth it. After I finished my course I found my first job in 6 weeks. Some context, I'm new in town, no prior industry experience, the job market at the time of this review is awful with tech companies laying off people by the thousands, and it is a 100% remote job at a great company that I like. All in all, I can't recommend CF enough as my experience was great from start to finish and it's paid off. Also, I got a better salary now as a first-time designer than at my previous career with a decade of experience. If you are sure about the new career path that you want to take, this is a great way to get to the job you ultimately want. Just remember to make that extra effort so it works.

Perfect for Self-Paced Study
As a recent university graduate who was used to online courses and wanted to dive into a new specialization, I'm having a wonderful time with this course! The tutors, mentors, and advisors provide constant support. Since it's generally self-paced, it works well especially to those who want to be able to learn a new skill efficiently. I haven't received job assistance yet since I am still in the main program, but it looks promising! - Hossnieh ShahhosseiniGraduate • Full-Stack Web Development Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInDec 15, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Not for Beginners with no experience
I started the course very perfectly and was happy learning frontend and basics. When I started the Full Stack Immersion, my first mentor couldn't help me because he didn't know what he was talking about. It seems like he didn't know anything about javascript. It took a month for him to help me with a simple issue with one of the features of a simple project. My second mentor was better, but the material was poorly updated or explained.

When I started the Full Stack Immersion, my first mentor couldn't help me because he didn't know what he was talking about. It seems like he didn't know anything about javascript. It took a month for him to help me with a simple issue with one of the features of a simple project. My second mentor was better, but the material was poorly updated or explained. I had to book a call with my mentor to explain some materials, and since he was super busy, it took a week or more to get help each time. After all, one of the reasons that I got this course with CareerFoundry was the job guarantee. Basically, without any experience and a related university degree, there would be no chance of getting a job, and collecting the requirements for getting a refund is a full-time job itself. I DO NOT recommend this school/Bootcamp to anyone who doesn't have related experience or degree. I applied for many jobs in many companies in the US and only got one interview in 7 months, and still no job.
