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.
I had focused on digital marketing before but it didnt really fire me up. So I was looking round for a new direction that I could be passionate about. Having decided that UX sounded like something that I could get behind and focus on, I started searching for UX courses.

I had focused on digital marketing before but it didnt really fire me up. So I was looking round for a new direction that I could be passionate about. Having decided that UX sounded like something that I could get behind and focus on, I started searching for UX courses. There are so many courses available that I relied on reviews to seal the final decision, so I thought I should add my review as well.
After reading reviews I went with CareerFoundry : UX Designer course. The main reason for choosing this was the reviews, and the job guarantee. Also their interface looked clear and the content really focused on the career changer. and that resonated with me.
Decision made, I started the course in the summer of 2018 and managed to complete it by June/July 2019. The course is tough, it is time consuming and to keep up with deadlines certain other time sacrifices must be made. But I found the course fascinating and I felt really driven to finish the course so I managed to keep up with the progress indicators. The mentors are great (mine for UX was, Carlo Van Der Pluijim) , they challenge, support and keep you on the right track as you go along, tough but fair is how I would describe them. It's good that they pull you up on certain aspects of your work, as the whole point is to get you into a UX job, so you might as well do it right.
As the course progresses you start working with a career advisor ( the one assigned to me was Richard Learthart). Richard helps you craft your previous skills into a great looking CV. His attention to detail and my work, definitely got me my first interview (and then job).These sessions and submissions are invaulable, probably best to start this half way through your UX course, it's more work but it gets you prepared for the next stage.
Perhaps it was with luck, but also hard work and good support from the mentors and career advisors, I landed a great job (UX desginer) within the first month of finishing the course. I think location is key, be prepared to move if you are in a remote area.
This course is very good, and it will equip you well for the career change. It's not easy, and it does fill your time, but it is well worth it. If UX interests you, then I recommend this course, highly.
Thanks, Chris
