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.
Overall the experience was fine. In the beginning I felt really positively about it — as someone with no design background, I wanted a fair amount of hand-holding, and my tutor was wonderful, very responsive and helpful. But towards the end I grew frustrated with what I perceived as lessons written by CF as being somewhat "phoned in" — I spent the vast majority of the time searching the internet for answers that should have been expanded upon in the course.

Overall the experience was fine. In the beginning I felt really positively about it — as someone with no design background, I wanted a fair amount of hand-holding, and my tutor was wonderful, very responsive and helpful. But towards the end I grew frustrated with what I perceived as lessons written by CF as being somewhat "phoned in" — I spent the vast majority of the time searching the internet for answers that should have been expanded upon in the course. Another major point of frustration for me was the estimates for time it would take to complete the tasks for each exercise — again, as someone with no design background but also a high level of perfectionism, I was averaging 3x longer than the estimates, so it made it really difficult to plan my time.
I also wish we had the opportunity to work with real clients during the program, as I'm trying to navigate that now as a freelancer and unsure of where I might run into pitfalls.
I do like the Slack community they've built, and have found that the people who work for the organization — tutors, mentors, career advisors, Slack channel moderators — are all really friendly and helpful, and I'm grateful to all of them for the guidance and resources they've provided me with so far.
Ultimately, I'm glad I did it, but if I had to do it all over, I personally would pick a program that offered an in-person program, as I think, as a career changer, I would have benefitted more from immediate feedback and asking an instructor questions during a lesson.
