CareerFoundry

CareerFoundry has provided a wonderful learning environment for me. All of the advisors, and my tutor and mentors have been so helpful and encouraging through the challenging process of learning a new set of skills for a new career. All of the content feels like information that will actively help me when I enter the field, and the job preparation has made me feel more empowered and less petrified of the job hunt. Overall, I have really enjoyed my experience with CareerFoundry and would definitely recommend it!  Read less

I stepped out of my comfort zone and signed up for CareerFoundry not knowing what to expect. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

The course work, tutors, mentor, and student advisors made me feel supported and equipped. I highly recommend CareerFoundry!  Read less

Just recently I graduated from CFs UX Design course and found myself surprisingly melancholic when it ended. My experience at CF was challenging. Learning independently became a struggle around 60% of the course. The openness my tutor, mentor and everyone in the many slack channels showed, encouraged me to share my fears, recieve help and get through the toughest moments. The work needs to be done well, there is no way around it when learning a new craft. Yet, the environment can influence the progress a great deal. At CF I felt in good hands and inspired to not just do well but thrive and give it my best. This gentle push and being held accountable shaped the perspective on my new career immensely. I feel well prepared for what's about to come :) Read less

I've taken other Bootcamps and CareerFoundry is by far the BEST!

I'm currently taking the UX design course and I'm highly impressed with how organized their curriculum is. It was also designed to keep you on track. After every lesson, you are assigned a task that is reviewed by your mentor who in return gives you generous feedback. 

Trust me their feedback is NOT generic. You really get valuable feedback that tests your understanding of the lessons. 

Now, what I love most is that have weekly video calls with your mentor and from there you can get immediate feedback on anything you are struggling with. 

Again, this is one of the BEST online courses I've taken so far and definitely worth the money.  Read less

CareerFoundry (CF) gives you the confidence to learn new set of skills without any prior knowledge. I like the course structure and the individual attention every students gets. CF provides a great set of highly skilled tutor and mentors (course and job prep mentors) who help us reach our goals. I am very happy and never regret the decision of joining CF. Highly recommended to join CF :-)    Read less

I've done my research on boot camps in the US to overseas, and the CareerFoundry team gave me the confidence to enroll in the data analytics program, from the start of CareerFoundry representative to help me to pay for the program. The tutors are really helpful and always give feedback to improve your work. I haven't seen that with any other boot camp. I made the right choice for my career and I really proud of what skills I will be achieving after the course finishes.  Read less

I am currently enrolled in the UX Design program at CareerFoundry. Here, you are not flying solo. You have an entire support team comprising a tutor, a mentor, a career specialist and student support team working with you. I would recommend this to anyone looking to build a solid foundation in UX Design! Read less

Hi, I'm a student in the CF UX design course, now I completed more than 75 % of my courses and I really like the curriculum so far, it very informative and concise within extra great resources, having a mentor and future to help you through your learning journey is very valuable things for a student, the platform very intuitive and easy to learn and I feel more confident to like out a career in this field.  Read less

The program is great and very flexable. I like the fact that you get to work at your own pace because although I am in the program I also have 2 part time jobs. Other programs did not offer this. I also like the fact that you always reach out to your personal mentor or tutor for help and feedback. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn and get a career in UX or UI.  Read less

Since before I even enrolled, the entire CareerFoundry staff and community have been incredibly communicative, professional and supportive. Their mentor model has allowed me to feel supported as I undergo this career shift and helped me hone in on what I bring to the table in this developing industry. I could not be happier with my choice. Read less

Im currently a full time student for the UI design course and so far it's been going great! My tutor and mentor are always willing to help and wants the best for me when to my portfolio. My only critique is for the UI design course I would like to see more information in video format. Other than that, the course is giving me  more confidence in my skills to transition into the UI/UX field. Read less

I'm taking UI design course on CareerFoundry. I'm very happy that I made the right decision to expand my career.

It has been a great user experience in my study since the course is well organised, and all information is carefully represented. I never felt lost, which unfortunately happened to me when I took another online course from a different school.

I like my tutor and mentor and its system. They encourage me a lot and give me helpful insight to improve my design. 

I'm not a native English speaker, and I was worried about my English skill fo the beginning. But once I get used to reading a lot (most of the course materials are written base), I feel more comfortable and enjoy it a lot. Maybe I'm just an old school person, though. If you prefer video materials, maybe you should look for something different. 

Lastly, just one thing, I had a slight problem with the different version of the application (Sketch). The interface design was different from the course material, and I got stuck there. I asked the tutor, but it seems that he didn't know about it. Except for that, everything is great so far, and I'm looking forward to working on future projects and complete the course.  Read less

The pandemic gave me the chance to stop and think where I was heading with my professional life. UX design was something that had always fascinated me, but I had never pictured myself in the tech world. Unhappy and stuck, I did lots of research and CareerFoundry seemed to be the best option to take the leap into this new world. The course is clearly structured, the more you put in in terms of work, the more you get back. Sometimes it's not easy, but the support system you have through your mentor and tutor is invaluable. I would do it all again, I love the course material and the fact that it's hands on practice, not just theory. Highly, highly recommend!  Read less

I am reviewing the experience I am having so far at the CareerFoundry Bootcamp, UX Design,  full time.

So far I have mixed feelings since I hoped that I will never have to change the tutor or the mentor, but exactly that was the case.

Starting from reviewing the beginning, the Intro course, I felt like it was a bit overwhelming, the tasks and the deadline. It feels like you get thrown in the cold water but in the end if you are focused and dedicated enough, it is doable. It is such a pity though that at some points you tend to "just get the task done in time" instead of taking your time to study all the given content and also have a look at all the additional resources offered. Also in the first weeks, due to the time pressure, it is difficult to connect with fellow students.

All these aspects get better as soon as I started with the immersion course. You get used to the pace.
For the samples given at the end of each exercise, that shall show you how other students did that particular tasks, it happens to find examples that are not correct, therefore misleading, at least this is the impression I got quite a few times when confronting the tasks with the categories of the requirements. I am by no means qualified to evaluate the examples shown, but sometimes you can really see that something is missing or clearly not as required. This is confusing when you want to refer to them as well done examples.

As for the change of tutor, one day I just got an email from the support team telling me about the change after there was an issue with the tutor, but the email was very vague, and I didn't expect that, nor I had the chance to discuss that with the tutor itself. So, i was left there with a new tutor and without knowing if the first tutor decided not to follow me anymore and what I maybe did wrong. Respecting everybody's privacy is crucial, but that could have been handled differently.

I just started the 3. achievement recently so for now, I have no further feedback.

I'm very satisfied about this course (UX designer).
 When I started I had no experience in the field. 
I wanted to change my career path and it was the best choice.

I like the learning by doing approach, I'm actually learning a lot.

My mentor is super nice and very helpful. 

I can't wait to start my first job in the UC field!  Read less
