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.
As a full-time employee, I was pretty hesitant when looking at in-person and online bootcamps. What made me choose CareerFoundry was the flexibility of the program, the curriculum (you can tell it’s structured and written by professionals who know what they are doing) and the responsiveness of the staff. You feel like you belong to a team of people who genuinely want you to succeed, I have never seen them denying assistance to anyone, whatever the step they were in.

Someone wrote that you can find most of the materials of the course online and for free — it’s true, but I don’t think the material should be the reason why one enrolls at CF. You choose CF because you don’t want to take all the steps by yourself, because you want to be backed by a strong community and a tutor, and a mentor, who carefully review your tasks and make it easier for you to identify your areas of improvement. I know myself and I know I struggle to keep the motivation alive (especially when I have to study after a full work day) and I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to do all this if it wasn’t for Carlo and Sophie guiding me through the course, providing precious insights based on their hands-on experience in the field. For me, the real value of CF is ultimately the “human” aspect.
Don’t expect, though, that you won’t be doing research on your own and expand your knowledge on other resources. I strongly recommend deepening your UX knowledge on your own, based on your interests and your career plan: it’s an ever-evolving field so the sooner your start, the better, especially because some chapters are a great starting point but are not exhaustive in themselves. They give you the right direction, then it's up to you to carve your own path.
Speaking strictly about the workload, I am pretty ahead of the milestones while working full-time, so the deadlines feel quite reasonable. I can’t say much about the job assistance because I have just started the job preparation course, but it looks up-to-date. I even started applying some of the knowledge I learned during these months in my current job and it’s very rewarding: I look forward to finishing the course and seeing what the future holds for me in this wonderful field.
