    Challenging and Rewarding

    My experience has been challenging, mainly because I am new to the world of UI/UX design. I have been extremely lucky to have been paired up with an AMAZING tutor and mentor. The student advisor team is quick to help with any issues and has shown so much kindness. I only wish the lessons would have been like the videos that were presented during the free bootcamp that I had taken before signing up. However, this has been a great process!

    A Perfect Blend of Theory and Practice

    I'm really enjoying my journey through this data analytics program. What sets this course apart for me is its well-structured, text-based format. There's no need to invest a ton of time in video content; instead, the written curriculum is comprehensive and to the point.

    What I find most rewarding is the program's hands-on approach in every lesson. After delving into the theoretical aspects, I get to apply what I've learned right away through practical exercises. This seamless tran...

    Great Data Analytics Bootcamp!

    Learning data analytics with Career Foundry has been great! I've learned so much and with their job guarantee, I feel confident in my career path. The farther I get into the course, the more I realize I don't know, but this has helped me know what areas to continue researching and learning on my own. Having a tutor and mentor to help me along the way has been invaluable!

    Above and beyond!

    Career foundry has been amazing! In just a few short months I’m creating prototypes for APPS! What! This from the girl who could barely turn the computer on! The mentorship and tutoring have been essential and the course material is laid out well! I never thought I’d be able to become a UI designer but here I am doing it and loving it!

    Easy to navigate and great content

    I've been working through the course for a few months now and I'm very happy with my decision to choose CareerFoundry.

I get to schedule 1:1 meetings with my mentor to go over my portfolio and ask questions related to the work, the industry and my portfolio. The student advisors have also been very helpful and ar...

    Great flexible and self-paced bootcamp

    I’m currently taking CareerFoundry’s UX Design Bootcamp and it’s been a great experience so far! My tutor and mentor have helped me a lot when it comes to task assignments and industry advice. I like that the course is self-paced so I can complete it on my own time, and it tells me how much progress I’ve made. The material is straightforward and they provide lots of examples which help a lot. Would recommend CF :)

    Career Foundry - Data Analytics

    I have been really enjoying the boot camp! I am utilizing Career Foundry's boot camp, YouTube tutorials, and self teaching via learning courses.  While I am learning things through other methods just fine, I really would have experienced issues with staying on track and focusing in general without Career Foundry's course design.  The structure it provides gives my self learning a very supportive backbone and direction.  Most invaluable though, is the access to a mentor.  I find that I ca...

    Overall, I like the system and curriculum of the career foundation. However, one regrettable thing is that there is no data in video or audio. If you have video or audio material that reads or shows all the lessons, you can listen to them while walking, driving, or exercising, which will be more convenient for users.
    I would be happy if CareerFoundry could produce more audio and video materials not only for UX and UI design but also for web development, data analytics, digital marketi...

    This course is one-of-its kind as a UX Professional who wanted to level up in UI, I searched far and wide for a course that would help me sharpen just my UI skills and understanding, and this course has done just that. My mentor AND tutor are both such a great help — and this course provides assistance in finding the right job for you afterwards. I love that it's parced up into achievements and after every achievement I get to work on my portfolio early in the process as well. My tutor e...
