Whenever I have a question, my tutor and mentor is always there to answer. The mentor is very helpful if you ask questions related to real life experience. On the other hand, tutor only answer questions related to the curriculum. When you study at CF, you are able to join the Slack community. The community is very active, so even when you study by yourself you don't feel lonely. However, you should be good at managing time, so that you do not feel stressed during your learning process.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support4.0Instructors4.0 -

I feel that every class is so well explained and at the end of each one you are given so many extra resources to go deeper into each task. And I really appreciate the fact that if at any time I feel stuck or have a question, the student has really easy access to their Tutor or a call away to their mentor. And to finish the student advisors and School itself have always been really clear and fast with their help on any given situation. So overall im happy with my decision to have taken the course and really hope that it helps me jumpstart my career when im finished.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

The course work is easy to understand but if you are struggling there is a team on standby for your every need! There are videos for you to review which helps provide a better understanding. The course work is laid out in parts as you build your app. Each task leaves you wanting more. Would really recommend CareerFoundary!

The way that the course is designed has made the experience very positive for me, the fact that you can go at your own pace and don't need to attend any video classes was very helpful for me as I sometime struggle in a classroom.
Instead of video classes you get video calls from your mentor and IM's with your tutor, they almost always answer on time and the Mentor was especially helpful.
The course covers a lot of subjects but in a somehow brief manner, you then can choose which subjects you want to improve later on.
I haven't started the job preparation course yet so I won't be reviewing it.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

- Tutors acting like AI. It’s nice to have them but there is no personal connection. We never have a video call with them. Their reviews feel like standard templates. This made me feel distant my self from the person and i’ve never ask any questions or replied their email.
- Sometimes i felt lost during my course, as i didn’t know what i’m gonna do next. I wish there was an intro video in the beginning that explain what tasks i’ll be doing and how they all gonna connect in the end.

I succeeded in finding a job as a UX designer 2 months after completing the last course.
During the course, I learned a lot about UX Design, UI Design, and UX Research. I still use the course content for my daily business. My instructors have been supportive and experienced but I felt like the personal connection has been missing. My tutor doesn't even answer me anymore.
The only downside is the remote setting - you work and study almost completely by yourself.
I only talked to my tutor once a week, which can let you feel lonely - depending on the person.
Overall, the course was great.
Especially the job preparation course has been a huge help.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors4.0 -
