The program is time flexible, so you can work whenever and how many hours you want at any pace with internet connection you want. What is the biggest plus for me.
I'm just half-way through the course, so I haven't yet started my job search, so I can not comment on the job assistance. Since I was starting with programming and web development from the scratch, I am very satisfied with the program and the way of teaching, committing and developing the necessary skills that be needed in me is fitting so perfect to me and my situation.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors4.0 -

I'm now almost through half of the UX Immersion Course and my experience is so far great! The two things I like the most are the flexibility to work on my own schedule, but of course respecting the deadlines, and the support from the tutor and mentor. Even though is an online course, you receive actual feedback and personalized mentoring.
I truly recommend this course, especially if you are able to have your own schedule (without the need of someone always reminding you), can work by yourself, and can keep up with deadlines.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

The material is very in-depth and very applicable to what I would be doing in this field. The mentors and tutors are very professional and are quick to offer help. Getting help from people that are already working in UX design is very beneficial. The only thing I would change or suggest is adding some more details to the expectations for the tasks at the end of the exercises. Sometimes, how to get to the objectives of the tasks is not clear. Overall, this has been a great experience and I look forward to my continued learning through CareerFoundry!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

I am closing in on the halfway mark, and have been very impressed so far. The lessons are broken into manageable pieces and I feel very competent in each subject once I finish a section. I am nearing the end of the Tableau work (10 exercises) and I feel confident I could make a Tableau dashboard in a professional environment. My mentor and tutor provided have also been great and been readily available for any questions, whether that be the course material or the industry of data analytics itself. Overall, I was very nervous to do a bootcamp as it is completely uncharted territory for me and CareerFoundry has made me confident in my decision.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -
