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.
It's now been more than six months since I went through the UI Design course and I can honestly say that I totally regret it. Although the instructors were great, the curriculum and the job assistance left a lot to be desired.
First for the good. You are assigned a tutor and a mentor. The tutor looks at your smaller projects and gives you feedback and the mentor gives you detailed feedback on the larger projects. My tutor and mentor were both great....It's now been more than six months since I went through the UI Design course and I can honestly say that I totally regret it.

First for the good. You are assigned a tutor and a mentor. The tutor looks at your smaller projects and gives you feedback and the mentor gives you detailed feedback on the larger projects. My tutor and mentor were both great. They gave me a lot of helpful feedback and I learned a lot about design from both of them. The written curriculum was another matter. It was badly written and hard to read. I had to read it out loud to follow what was written (not typical for me) and I had to rewrite a lot of the sentences to make them make any sense. There were a great many typos throughout which was, I think, a large part of the reason the text was hard to read. Both the UI Course and the Career Course desperately needed to be checked by an editor and a proofreader. The job assistance was the worst part of the course. At the time I went through they said they would help you find a job you love within six months or they would refund your money. They seem to have amended that to just "find a job" since then which is probably for the best, especially if they have the same career advisors now that they had when I finished the course. My advisor basically told me it was unrealistic for me to get a job that I loved and that I would have to settle for something I probably wouldn't much like. I ended up switching to another career advisor who was less gloomy but she was not anymore helpful. I am chronically ill so I need to work remotely. They weren't able to help me find remote work or to offer any guidance for finding freelance work. The only advice the career advisor offered for finding a freelance job was that I should know how long it takes me to finish a project so that I can offer a time estimate to clients. I knew that already anyway, but she didn't offer me any help or guidance for freelance work other than that. I would not recommend that someone take this course if they think they'll actually need help getting a job. If you live in a big city or can relocate, it might be all right, but if you're like me and need to work from home they won't help you. They also have things set up so you probably can't get your money back. I wish I could. I regret taking the course. It did not help me to get any sort of job and I could really use the money I spent on their course because I'm broke. If you are in a good position to get a job already, they might be okay, but if you need help finding a career, look elsewhere. They may well just drop you as soon as you complete the course work the way that they dropped me.How much does CareerFoundry cost?
