CareerFoundry

I’ve been totally pleased with my experience at CareerFoundry. The curriculum is super clear and my tutor and mentor are responsive and GREAT instructors. It’s the best educational experience I’ve had yet (and I went to Princeton). My favorite thing about it is that I am challenged and am definitely mastering the material but I am not stressed because there are no exams.  Read less

Read the small letter of the Job Guarantee, you're most likely not to get your money back. On one hand, the Career Specialist recommends being smart and searching for interesting jobs that will be fulfilling, yet, the small letter states that there's a min of 5 applications a week to apply, plus direct contacts and assistance to UX events. Networking outside of Germany or US is almost non-existent and the job offers inside their platform are mostly for these two countries. My teachers were good, yet, other students complain a lot about what the mentor said vs. what the tutor said so feedback is confusing. It also won't take you five months, especially if you are working full time, so calculate about a year if that is your case. And, don't expect a lot of incoming jobs inside their platform to look somewhere else if that's your case. Overall, the content was good, but I expected more and their messaging is very deceitful.  Read less

I am currently doing the UX Design Immersion course with CareerFoundry. I have been enjoying the programme so far and feeling that I am on track to be a UX Designer!

What I like most about the programme is that the curriculum is very structured, breaking projects into small, more digestible chunks. It has enough theory, in the meantime very hands on and practical. The course contents are concise enough to learn overview of new topics, at the same time, there are plenty additional reading material to go deeper into certain areas of interest. I feel confident that I am preparing for my portfolio whilst learning all the new knowledge and techniques. 

This is an online course. However, each of us is allocated with a mentor and a tutor, and there are plenty interactions with them, including video calls which we can schedule with our mentor. I enjoy the interactions with my tutor and mentor; in fact, everyone whom I have interacted with at CareerFoundry are friendly and helpful. I also find the learning platform very easy to use and it gives me the structure to know what I am aiming to complete/ learn, and what I have achieved.

There is a Slack student community - personally, I haven't spent much time on the community so far. Recently, I joined a live design workshop with other CF students, which I find very useful and I hope there will be more of these organised.

I'd considered other bootcamps when I was making the decision. One of the reasons why I chose CareerFoundry is their career support; I will be able to access to a career advisor once I have completed more than 50% of my immersion course, which I am looking forward to!

Overall, I like CareerFoundry's curriculum and the fact that it provides the flexibility for me to learn at my own pace, and still knowing I can reach out anytime for support from my mentor and tutor. So far, I am glad that I've chosen CareerFoundry to start my UX Design journey! Read less

Quick rundown of where I am in the course: the UX Design program has an Intro, Immersion, Specialization and Job Prep (required for the job guarantee) course that is part of the entire curriculum. Right now, I've finished the Intro and Immersion course already and applying to internships, so I can't give you an accurate gauge on how well the course prepares you for a job, but I can say that the course teaches you very thoroughly the things you need to know, and the work you are asked to do is a good reflection of it. Of course, like all education, what you learn doesn't always represent reality, but it sets the right foundation for your future. Along the way, you'll also have no less than 3 people helping you (tutors, advisors, and mentors) so don't worry too much about working with the material alone. But for the most part, this course is self-paced and so you must be self-motivated in doing the work within the time given to you.  Read less

This program has helped me so much! The tasks and achievements are so informative and are up to industry standards. I learnt how to use Figma and Adobe XD very easily thanks to instructions and tutorials I was provided with. I really feel like this course is equivalent to having a UI/UX degree with the amount that I learnt.  Read less

I love my course, theres a lot of information and every task is so clear and full of very valuable content and extra readings in case you want to sumerge more in deep about the topic, I can't say anything bad, just what I've been feeling is that my tutor everytime I submit a task she doesn't take too much time to review it or I feel like she just approves everything I submit and a part of me feels good but the other is like Wait! am I really doing everything that good that I don't have to resubmit ? but in general I've been enjoying this course although some days I loose motivation but that's just because daily life stuff.

I am studying the Data Analytics course with no prior exposure or experience in Tech and I have found the course to be so informative and easy to understand. Each student has access to a tutor (who you can bombard with as many questions if you don't understand a concept) and a mentor, who helps you prepare for the industry. The support and course curriculum is well-rounded and project based - making you as job ready as you'll ever need.

I’m very satisfied with my experience in CareerFoundry’s Full-Stack Development bootcamp. I’m learning a lot!  My mentor, tutor, the advisors and other staff have been encouraging and helpful.  The curriculum does a great job of providing resources for all types of learners, like text, graphics, code examples, videos, practice projects, and real humans to reach out to.
It’s a lot of new information, as a career changer, but I’m really happy with my decision to enroll with CF!  Read less

CareerFoundry meets my needs as a parent who is making a transition in a career. Fully online and self-paced. Compared to other bootcamps I researched, the cost to go to CareerFoundry is one of the lowest. One thing I have enjoyed the most is the Student Advisor team. All-around, a great option! Read less

My experience was positive from day one. I signed up for the UX program, and I like that I could complete the work at my own pace. With the flexibility of my previous job, I was able to make a full-time commitment to the course work and finish in six months! The content and assignments were chunked into easy, digestible parts, and I appreciate the thoroughness of the assignments because I anticipated graduating with a full portfolio. Having access to a supportive tutor with quick response times was really motivating. Connecting with my UX and UI mentors and getting their feedback on my deliverables as well as their unique industry insights were so valuable. The icing on the cake was the job guarantee. I ultimately chose CareerFoundry because I wanted a career specialist to support me in landing a job and hold me accountable. CareerFoundry is great!

I'm currently enrolled in CareerFoundry's UX course, and I've really enjoyed it so far. My tutor and mentor have both given me such great guidance, especially as a person that is very new to this world (I currently work in healthcare). The course is well structured with lots of visual markers to keep track of your progress. It is self-study, so be prepared to have your study/work/life schedule organized to make life easier! The course also has several links to outside resources for further learning, should you have time. The entire CF staff has been so supportive through my journey, the course itself to managing payments and extensions. I highly recommend CF UX - just come with an open mind and some time management.

Was a challenging thing to switch careers in my 40's and learn a new skill but CareerFoundry made the process a lot easier. With help from mentors, tutors and job prep coaches, the support i received was invaluable. I landed my first job a couple of days after graduating. It may not be the norm but all i can say is market yourself of any platform you can think of. It really helped. The curriculum is very detailed and i covered enough to feel like i can take on this new career. Beyond happy i silenced the doubts in my head telling me i couldn't/shouldn't do this and took the plunge with CF. Thanks a million! Read less
