Dominick CostanzoStudent • UI Design Program • OnlineJul 26, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceReview For CareerFoundry
My experience with CareerFoundry so far has been a great experience. I feel like I’m learning the process into creating good UI design that I would have never learned just looking at random videos on the internet. The assistance of my tutor and mentor has helped me along the way to make my projects better and more cohesive so that they are worthy to be put in portfolio. I’m excited to see more to come as I wrap up my bootcamp.- MikeStudent • UI Design Program • OnlineJul 26, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great first Boot Camp experience!
My first experience of a "boot camp", whilst obviously hard work, is very positive. I'm just over half way through, am learning a lot very, very quickly and have nothing but praise for the organisation, set up and support from my tutor, mentor and the support staff. I look forward to completing it and seeing where it takes me - Lisa IselinGraduate • UI Design Program • OnlineJul 16, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Exceeding Expectations
Completely exceeding expectations is the best way I can describe my experience with CareerFoundry, and the fact that I signed up and paid for the course in the first place goes to show that I had pretty high expectations to begin with.
My portfolio, resume, and knowledge are beyond what I had hoped for. If someone had told me that I would walk away from this course with the skills, knowledge, and portfolio that I feel that I currently have, I would have signed u...Completely exceeding expectations is the best way I can describe my experience with CareerFoundry, and the fact that I signed up and paid for the course in the first place goes to show that I had pretty high expectations to begin with.
My portfolio, resume, and knowledge are beyond what I had hoped for. If someone had told me that I would walk away from this course with the skills, knowledge, and portfolio that I feel that I currently have, I would have signed up much sooner (or maybe just wouldn’t have believed them)
The staff is incredibly helpful, patient, and friendly. My mentors and tutors were available, encouraging, motivating, and humble. They all provided an environment where I could ask any question (no matter how ridiculous I thought it may have been) and explained in detail all sorts of real-world situations I may encounter. They were there to support me through any and all frustrations and hiccups and worked hard to keep me on track.
My student advisors were always friendly and quick to answer my questions no matter how many I had. At one point I was accidentally given wrong information which put me in a position where I wasn’t going to finish my Job Prep on time. They quickly took responsibility and resolved the issue for me by extending my deadline a week so that I could finish on time.
They do a great job keeping you on track. Between my mentors, tutors, and tracking schedule on my dashboard, CF does a great job helping its students maintain movement throughout the courses allowing them to appropriately pace themselves to ensure reaching their goals by the set deadlines. - MayStudent • UI Design Program • OnlineJul 15, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Careerfoundry UI Design Program
I'm more than halfway through Careerfoundry's UI Design program and can already say with confidence the courses really prepare you for real-life projects and provides more than enough tools to give you the confidence and proficiency needed to start the job search.

Of course, you have to put in the work, time, and motivation to put together a professional portfolio - but all the tools, resources, and one-on-one mentor calls and a tutor are provided to ease you into the process. It's tough, as all self-motivated bootcamp programs, but I want to be prepared with all the foundational knowledge and experience what real-life work projects will involve to feel fully prepared once I start the job search. The support community is phenomenal and you won't ever feel like you're struggling through the programs on your own! - Hazel FernandezStudent • UX Designer • OnlineJul 15, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I'm enjoying my course so far. My tutor and mentor have been really helpful and encouraging and I'm learning loads. Meeting people is a little hard as the course is entirely remote, but I've connected with some other students online. I'm excited to start applying for jobs and feeling optimistic. - CynthiaStudent • UX Design Program • OnlineJul 15, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

By having a self paced course, I did the online, you can fit it into your schedule as needed and you really get control over your education. I find my talks with my mentor invaluable. Tutors are limited in what they can discuss with you but they have been great as well. You also get other resources and tools to expand your knowledge and portfolio pieces.
I also was a fan of the price it's about half other bootcamps and can receive scholarships and is very much worth the value. They have great connections with alumni and companies which are necessary for the workforce. I also liked their job guarantee with salary. - ShraddhaUX Designer • Student • Voice User Interface Design Course • OnlineJul 15, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Incredibly supportive, professional community!
I couldn’t recommend CF more! From start to (almost in my case!) finish, each advisor, tutor and mentor I’ve been in contact with has been incredibly eager to support me in my career change.

I love that you can see samples of tasks as an overview of what’s expected for each submission. And let’s not forget all the webinars, events, opportunities to network! Learning and growing over this time was made a lot more fun than I imagined, starting out. And it was much-appreciated over the past year. Thank you guys so much for giving me all the motivation to keep striving for better.

What I love about Career foundry is that from the beginning they clarified all my doubts and supported me with all the process. They are a very competent place to learn new things.

I felt overwhelmed by all the online resources, and this program gave me a sense of orientation and discipline. I like the flexibility of the program as it is impossible for me to attend online classes at a fixed schedule. As well, the tutor that I had was very informative and share with me valuable resources to make my learning easier. The Job prep course was one the best things. In the past I had attended a couple of workshops back at university, but this course has an advisor that is almost a 100% committed to give you feedback and prepare you for the job market(this is not easy to find). Overall, the course doesn't cover all the material there is to learn about analytics, but there are always ways to complement that with what you can find online, so this is not a deal breaker for me. At the end, it was a good decision because I have accomplished close to 70% of the course and I have covered most of the fundamental topics required in a job. - Max DStudent • UX Design Program • OnlineJul 14, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
