CareerFoundry

I am a UX designer who decided to upskill myself when I moved to the US. I was always interested in the Voice Design industry and wanted to learn professionally. From what I know, Career Foundry is the only boot-camp platform that has a Voice Design course. They are transparent and list out all the details like fees, duration, start date, and syllabus right on their website. There are no hidden costs or terms and conditions. The course is designed in a way that is easy to understand and has actionable tasks. I have an excellent mentor who is always available to solve my doubts and review my assignments. The support team at Career Foundry is professional, making the entire process very seamless. They are always ready to help and do not leave you unguided. I am happy with my decision to join Career Foundry.  Read less

I couldn’t recommend CF more! From start to (almost in my case!) finish, each advisor, tutor and mentor I’ve been in contact with has been incredibly eager to support me in my career change. Full of enthusiasm and always ready to support you, it makes such a feat a lot less intimidating. As for content: bite-sized break-up of content that is clear, easily-digestible, accessible and comes with a variety of added, optional resources you can always bookmark and return to. I love that you can see samples of tasks as an overview of what’s expected for each submission. And let’s not forget all the webinars, events, opportunities to network! Learning and growing over this time was made a lot more fun than I imagined, starting out.  And it was much-appreciated over the past year. Thank you guys so much for giving me all the motivation to keep striving for better. You’re an awesome bunch!  Read less

What I love about Career foundry is that from the beginning they clarified all my doubts and supported me with all the process. They are a very competent place to learn new things. The Tutors and Mentors are full of knowledge and I love the class content and that I can advance on my own rhythm.  Read less

This program is a good option if you want to change careers and feel lost into where to start your learning journey. I felt overwhelmed by all the online resources, and this program gave me a sense of orientation and discipline. I like the flexibility of the program as it is impossible for me to attend online classes at a fixed schedule. As well, the tutor that I had was very informative and share with me valuable resources to make my learning easier. The Job prep course was one the best things. In the past I had attended a couple of workshops back at university, but this course has an advisor that is almost a 100% committed to give you feedback and prepare you for the job market(this is not easy to find). Overall, the course doesn't cover all the material there is to learn about analytics, but there are always ways to complement that with what you can find online, so this is not a deal breaker for me. At the end, it was a good decision because I have accomplished close to 70% of the course and I have covered most of the fundamental topics required in a job.   Read less

I'm very pleased so far with CareerFoundry's program! As someone who is career transitioning, I love the attention they place and resources they provide to help prepare me for the job market.  My tutor and mentor are both super helpful.  I'm very excited to see where this path leads! Read less

UX Design course at CareerFoundry is probably the most self comprehensive course there is out there in UX design. Out of 4 courses they offer (UX design, UI Design, Data Analytics, and Web Development), UX design is probably the longest. Yes, this is a bootcamp, with all the stigmas that bootcamp have attached to them due to their intensity. Yet, CareerFoundry does a great job at streamlining the learning process in digestible parts, that doesn't make it overwhelming for people with already busy lives. Don't get me wrong, if you want to achieve an outstanding portfolio, you still going to have to put in your grain of salt. But this is not only about the Curriculum, but also about the people who will revise your work along the way. Your tutor, who will review every single exercise, your mentor, who with you have 50 calls booked with, and your Career Specialist, who helps you create your own brand. The support you get is really outstanding.

Just one small con about the course, sometimes assignments can take way longer than expected, for designing my prototype for example, I spent well over 30 hours instead of the 9 hours stipulated in the assignment debrief. It would have taken me much less if I had known how to properly use the tool and how to properly use design patterns. My tutor was helpful on this matter, but it wasn't very well explained on the project. On the other hand, my mentor also had different view on the matter, and in the middle of the assignment I ended up confused on what to do next. I managed to fn=finished it just by sticking to my tutors advice since I needed my assignment to be approved by my tutor in order to continue. 

Other than that, the course is great, as it gives you the solid foundation to start in the industry.  Read less

I'm in the new data analytics course and so far I'm glad I took it, because I wanted a new career, and until now it looks effective. I hope the money's worth it! ;D Can't say anything about the success rate for finding a job at this point as I'm just halfway into the course. As it's new I can totally understand that it needs some refining. The flaws which arise are taken out of the way pretty fast because you have so many people to talk to (e.g. mentor, tutor, student advisors, etc.)

My mentor, Neha, in the CareerFoundry career course is wonderful. Neha is knowledgeable in professional branding and development and helped me create a full job application package including a resume, cover letter, UX portfolio and more. She has extensive background experience in recruiting and I am grateful that I was able to have her as my mentor.

On a personal note, Neha is an absolute pleasure to work with. Her encouragement made the job search process fun and the constructive feedback I received made me an even stronger applicant.

I would strongly recommend Neha as an addition on any team or project. She is fantastic! Read less

I took and had a great experience with CareerFoundry's 10-month UX design course (UI specialization). The main pros are: in-depth, self-driven courses, mentorship throughout, you come out with 3-4 case studies under your belt, and an active student/alumni Slack community. One of the best things about the program is they set you up for career success with the optional job preparation course. My career specialist, Neha Hurpaul, was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable in helping me refine my LinkedIn profile, resume, and interviewing skills. With her guidance, I landed a role within a month of graduating. I would recommend the course to anyone looking for a UX/UI bootcamp, and definitely make the most of the job preparation course!

Working with Neha was fantastic! She was very helpful and supportive during my job search. She always responded to my questions in a timely manner and provided me with the necessary resources to excel during my job hunt and in the field. I would highly recommend her to other students that are enrolled in CareerFoundry. Read less

Read a text and apply the newly acquired knowledge hands-on to your course project, that's the simple formula of this course. The texts are well-written and easy to understand. You have a tutor who gives you written feedback and a mentor helping you via video call with the bigger tasks. I've learned so much already, pretty amazing.  Read less

I have loved my entire experience with Career Foundry! I decided to sign up for the Full-Stack Immersion course after I completed a Computer Science Minor at my university. I felt like I wanted to take an additional course to fill in the gaps of knowledge from my previous education. Prior to taking the course, I did not feel confident in my full-stack development skills, and now I feel SO much more experienced and have a ton of projects that I can show off! My mentor has been amazing and helped me thoroughly understand difficult concepts. I'd definitely recommend Career Foundry to a friend Read less

I’m about 2/3 through my UX Design programme and I have nothing but positives to say about the course and CareerFoundry as a whole! Since the beginning, I have felt very supported on a personal level, getting timely feedback on tasks and guidance on the bigger picture as well. The course is geared towards learning practical skills, which I love because I can see directly how my skills will eventually lead to a whole number of future jobs. I can’t wait to finish my course and put my skills to the test in a job!  Read less

I just finish the UI course today. It takes four months to complete the whole course if you do it full time. I am very satisfied with the quality of the content and the methodology, but what I really liked was the fact that a tutor and a mentor support you during the course.  Read less

 CareerFoundry has made me excited to start my journey in UX Design. They give you a timeline of your courses and help you stay on track by showing your curriculum roadmap, which helps me plan my work schedule, family/social life, and course work.
The content of information is clear and easy to follow. The examples given throughout the lesson help to get a better idea of the concepts taught. I really like how there are periodic videos of a UX designer practice the task. On top of that, there are approved tasks submitted by other students you can use for reference in helping you complete your own task. CareerFoundry really sets you up for success. My tutor's feedback on each of my exercises submitted have always been timely, encouraging, and helpful. He provides me with additional resources should I want more to further my understanding. My mentor has such a great resume and experience that his advice and tips are valuable notes I keep with me. I would recommend CareerFoundry to anyone who is on the fence of learning UX or comparing bootcamps. I'm so happy I moved forward with joining the program!  Read less

For the first time I actually feel supported in my online learning experience. Other programs/universities have always left me feeling on my own and in the dark, and I’m so thankful to have found CF. The whole team is SO eager to help, and having a tutor and mentor that truly care about their students is an absolute game changer. The program as well as it’s tutors/mentors make you feel like they not only care, but want to (and are) setting you up for success. I couldn’t be happier with my experience so far. Read less
