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. The Tutors and Mentors are full of knowledge and I love the class content and that I can advance on my own rhythm.- CarolinaStudent • Data Analytics Program • OnlineJul 14, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Data Analytics Program
This program is a good option if you want to change careers and feel lost into where to start your learning journey. 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.

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

Out of 4 courses they offer (UX design, UI Design, Data Analytics, and Web Development), UX design is probably the longest. Yes, this is a bootcamp, with all the stigmas that bootcamp have attached to them due to their intensity. Yet, CareerFoundry does a great job at streamlining the learning process in digestible parts, that doesn't make it overwhelming for people with already busy lives. Don't get me wrong, if you want to achieve an outstanding portfolio, you still going to have to put in your grain of salt. But this is not only about the Curriculum, but also about the people who will revise your work along the way. Your tutor, who will review every single exercise, your mentor, who with you have 50 calls booked with, and your Career Specialist, who helps you create your own brand. The support you get is really outstanding.
Just one small con about the course, sometimes assignments can take way longer than expected, for designing my prototype for example, I spent well over 30 hours instead of the 9 hours stipulated in the assignment debrief. It would have taken me much less if I had known how to properly use the tool and how to properly use design patterns. My tutor was helpful on this matter, but it wasn't very well explained on the project. On the other hand, my mentor also had different view on the matter, and in the middle of the assignment I ended up confused on what to do next. I managed to fn=finished it just by sticking to my tutors advice since I needed my assignment to be approved by my tutor in order to continue.
Other than that, the course is great, as it gives you the solid foundation to start in the industry. - JulianStudent • UX Designer • BerlinJul 14, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Reading material was useful and on spot. Tutor was reachable quickly and providing feedback on the tasks within a few hours. I'm happy with the skills I've accquired - MarcelNone • Student • Data Analytics Program • OnlineJul 14, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Good, but keep improving!
I'm in the new data analytics course and so far I'm glad I took it, because I wanted a new career, and until now it looks effective. I hope the money's worth it! ;D Can't say anything about the success rate for finding a job at this point as I'm just halfway into the course. As it's new I can totally understand that it needs some refining. The flaws which arise are taken out of the way pretty fast because you have so many people to talk to (e.g. mentor, tutor, student advisors, etc.)

UX/UI Design Course
I took and had a great experience with CareerFoundry's 10-month UX design course (UI specialization). The main pros are: in-depth, self-driven courses, mentorship throughout, you come out with 3-4 case studies under your belt, and an active student/alumni Slack community. One of the best things about the program is they set you up for career success with the optional job preparation course.

Read a text and apply the newly acquired knowledge hands-on to your course project, that's the simple formula of this course. The texts are well-written and easy to understand. You have a tutor who gives you written feedback and a mentor helping you via video call with the bigger tasks. I've learned so much already, pretty amazing. - RohitStudent • UX Design Program • OnlineJul 01, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
