    Informative and Supportive Journey

    I can not say enough positive things about my experience with CareerFoundry. From the start of the course I felt incredibly supported by my tutor and mentor who were always available when I needed clarity surrounding the material I was being presented. Further, this is a major career change for me, but the material is very easy to comprehend. As a former teacher, I really like their project based learning style where you are able to go through 15-30 minutes of reading, take a brief asses...

    Great UX Design bootcamp

    I really enjoy my UX Design program with CareerFoundry. The curriculum is great and it is really fun to learn, since you are taking what you learn and practice it in a task right away. I was afraid, that it is mostly reading but the combination really pleasantly surprised me. The Student Advisors are super nice and fast with their replies in case you have a question or concern. I highly recommend the program.

    Great, Life changing, Amazing

    I was recommended to CareerFoundry when I mentioned to a friend of mine that I wanted to change careers. Her friend had done this program, and after doing some research, I found this program to have the best qualities that I was looking for.

    I haven't completed the course yet, but I have been able to work with an industry professional (who I look up to greatly). She has been incredibly helpful in solidifying my designs as well as encouraging me to strive to create higher quality d...

    Highly recommended

    This UX Design course has been a huge learning curve for me. I love that I am able to see my acheivements. My tutor is great and highly responsive. My mentor is very generous with the experience and advice that she shares with me. It all makes the intensity of this course a little bit less intense and a bit more fun!

    Learning a lot and enjoying it!

    I really like this course.  I am learning a lot and the lessons are full with extra links and resources if you want to know more about a subject.  My first tutor unfortunately was very slow about grading assignments, but after I logged two complains I was switched to a new grader who is quick and gives great feedback!  I especially love how the course is asynchronous and perfectly fits my schedule.

    Encouraging, involved, and interesting

    Career Foundry has surpassed my expectations. The method in which they teach is straight forward and encouraging. The support of my tutor and mentor has been beyond helpful, as well as suppor from other staff members! They send little emails that are encouraging, or informative, seemingly right when you need them. They also seem to be very current, which is important in a tech field.

    So far so good!

    I'm enjoying the course so far. It's pretty easy to follow. You have a ton of resources that will help you through your course including your tutor, mentor, student advisors, slack channels with other fellow students, and career mentor towards the second half of the course. Comes with a job guarantee if you complete the job prep course within a certain time frame, what more can you ask for?

    CareerFoundry UI Design Course

    My program began in August and now I'm almost half way through. I'm completely new to UI Design with zero design background.
    I like that material  of each lesson is very well built and structured. After each lesson there are plenty of additional things to read and watch on the topic.
    The most important part in my opinion is that I, as a student, always have support of tutor and mentor. This is so valuable for me as for a person
    who is changing career and meets a lot of challenge...

    Outstanding Product Management course

    CareerFoundry's Product Management course covers a well curated set of topics which provides a comprehensive understanding of what would be expected in that role. PM is a quite new discipline / field, which can be confused with several related fields (e.g. UX Design, Project Management, Agile Experts), but the curriculum is structured around practical tasks in a project-based journey that helps to solidify the learning process. I can clearly say that a graduated student will feel suffici...

    Valuable, Thorough, Time-Effecient.

    CareerFoundry stuck out to me when researching Data Analytics courses. I spent many weeks carefully studying the website. The staff is AMAZING! I have an amazing tutor, amazing mentor and amazing student advisors. Whenever I have any doubt, or obstacle - I always feel heard and valued in their responses and solutions to me. 

    As a complete novice in the data analytics field - my confidence not only in working with data but within myself has dramatically risen.
