CareerFoundry is an online bootcamp that offers flexibly paced programs for career changers in web development, UX design, UI design, product design, data analytics, digital marketing, and product management. Headquartered in Berlin but with a global student base, CareerFoundry has provided tech education since 2013.
CareerFoundry combines the flexibility of online learning with the guidance of mentors and tutors through their dual mentorship model, training students to become job-ready in four to 12 months, or their money back.
No previous experience is required to apply for the programs. Students should have access to a computer and an internet connection, and an interest in the topic they are planning to study. Students apply via the CareerFoundry website by connecting with an advisor who can talk through their options. Students will need to pay a deposit to secure their place, then complete the required pre-work before the program commences.

I am happy that we have tutors and mentors who review our work and answer our questions. It’s good that the course provides tasks after each reading material. These tasks helped me learn and progress. However, the reading information isn’t great, and I have to do a lot of extra reading. Sometimes the task doesn’t include the information I need for the task. Also, I think the structure of these tasks could be better; I feel frustrated a lot of the time. I would love to have more examples from designers than they have. ( they provide some examples, but those are so rare, and the project that they showcase changes all the time)
* they do great with dealing with student’s issues and giving extra time if you have a good reason.Overall4.0Curriculum3.0Job supportN/AInstructors4.0 -

I love how the themes are structured, main subjects are broken down into smaller pieces of information for a better understanding and assimilation. Along with the reading, there are always great resources to keep enriching the information provided. At the end of each class, there is a Task that is part of a project that the student is building up.
Some of my highlights:- I love ¨learning by doing and knowing by experience.¨
- My tutor gives valuable feedback that always helps improve my proposals
- The mentor is experienced in the sector and shares knowledge sync to the job market.
- The online platform is friendly, easy to navigate and to follow up
- Information is well structured, with plenty of examples, resources, and references.
- Projects are based on real-life examples.
