I think the CareerFoundry's UX course is great. The self-learning course content is highly relevant and the support from the Tutors and Mentors is very helpful in staying motivated. There is also a large student community so connecting with students with who'm you can collaborate with on tasks and ask general questions makes the learning experience more enjoyable. - Zlatan KopicWeb Developer • Graduate • Full-Stack Web Development Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJan 18, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

My experience
I was really hyped about the beginning, and it was amazing. I started first as a private student, but then I got Buildungsgutschein (if you are unemployed and live in Germany, check it out!) and started again, but I could resubmitted tasks that are done so far (which is cool). But I was assigned to another Tutor and Mentor.
So the biggest advantage of CF is that it has 2 (later 3) persons that are in constant contact with you: your tutor, mentor and career specialist(that comes later,...I was really hyped about the beginning, and it was amazing.

But I was assigned to another Tutor and Mentor.
So the biggest advantage of CF is that it has 2 (later 3) persons that are in constant contact with you: your tutor, mentor and career specialist(that comes later, after you've done 51% of the course). I really really really love my mentor. She is so funny and full of great advices and I think we just flipped. She is telling me about the job preparation, what can I improve, what should I be relaxed about, what can I read/listen to/watch. Amazing person, who always makes my day!
And tutor, who I'm in okay relationship.
You have 6 achievements, which are divided into several tasks (7-11). They can require from 1-3h until 7-9h to be done.
All in all, I like it because I am the one responsible for the time management, for how I'm gonna organize my day, studies, breaks. I really love that. And also, I've learn so much not only about UX but about myself too.
The con can be that you are paired with a person that is not an inspiring one to you. But even that you can manage- either say it to Student Advisor (they are there to make everything flow easily) or change your point of view/ expectations.
All in all, I would recommended! For sure. - MiguelStudent • Full-Stack Web Development Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJan 18, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

I am halfway into the course and loving the experience so far! The big emphasis on React during the course, also influenced my decision a lot, as it was something I wanted to learn for a long time. Was also looking for a longer Bootcamp (no 2/3 months) so CareerFoundry was the perfect match :) I would recommend it! - Michael FlohrschuetzWeb developer • Student • Full-Stack Web Development Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInDec 20, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great course!
The course was great! I learned so much. The help from my tutor and mentor was invaluable, as well as the career / job preparation coaching. I particularly loved how many of the tasks were structured very similarly as they would in a "real live" job scenario, starting with user stories, to creating kanban boards etc. - Andy WUI Designer • Student • UI Design Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInDec 17, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

CareerFoundry has been an engaging and fun experience. The content is highly relevant and easy to do self-directed. I appreciate the examples of student work they include which help me understand if I'm on the right path. In addition, every task is working towards something that could be in a portfolio but broken up into small chunks so that it is not overwhelming and helps keep you motivated to keep working.

UX Design
I started the CareerFoundry program in January 2021 and completed the main UX Design course in July 2021. I completed the remaining courses (specialisation - UI for UX Designers & Job Preparation) in September and October 2021. I don't normally write reviews, but I feel like I have to write a review for CareerFoundry. My experience with this course has been nothing but positive.

I completed the remaining courses (specialisation - UI for UX Designers & Job Preparation) in September and October 2021. I don't normally write reviews, but I feel like I have to write a review for CareerFoundry. My experience with this course has been nothing but positive. I started the program because I wanted to execute a career change, and after conducting an extensive amount of research on online courses, I decided to proceed with CareerFoundry. I chose them because of 2 reasons:
1) They focus more on your portfolio rather than the certification (as I have some experience within the creative industry, I know that employers are only interested in what you can bring to the table in terms of creativity, rather than your qualifications).
2) They have a job guarantee (I thought that they must be sure of themselves if they can give you your money back if you don't get a job within 6 months of completing the course).
CareerFoundry has helped me discover my new passion for UX design and have helped me land my first ever full-time creative position as a Junior UX/UI Designer. After completing the entire course on 12 October 2021, I landed my new job on 26 October 2021. CareerFoundry has helped me develop a brand new skill set, successfully market myself as a job seeker/career changer, and has given me the tools necessary to create an industry-standard portfolio.
The curriculum is up to date, easy to understand, and structured beautifully. It's so easy to follow and psychologically challenges you to go above and beyond on your task submissions by featuring your work to other students (if your work is a great example). I'd say the only suggestion/criticism I have for them is to show more video demonstrations, as there is a lot of reading to do. This might benefit students who have a low attention span and find it difficult to read long paragraphs at a time. Other than that, the course is amazing. I also really like how it presents a timeline of your progress and what you can do to stay on track.
The mentors, tutors, student advisors, and career specialists are incredibly helpful and are there for you every step of the way. I am more of an independent student and I don't like asking for help much. I also didn't feel like I needed a lot of help either, as the exercises and tasks were so easy to understand. The only time I would ask for help is when I needed my mentor to review my portfolio, just so it was up to industry standards.
All in all, CareerFoundry is an incredible online course and it's no wonder why they are one of the leaders in UX Design online education. I would recommend the UX Design course to anyone who has a creative foundation, high level of empathy, willingness to learn, wants to change careers, and has persistence and drive.
I cannot thank CareerFoundry enough for what they have helped me achieve.
Best wishes,

UI Design
I am mid-way through my UI Design course with Career Foundry. This was one of the best decisions of my life as I’m learning something I love and getting great feedback and support along the way.
Everyone at Career Foundry is super supportive and I would recommend 100% choosing a course with them. If you have the chance to invest on yourself and your education, this is a great place to be, and you can do it at your own pace , which is great too!
