    Content and support.

    CareerFoundry exceeded my expectations. They know what's needed when changing careers. The support and help from the specialists makes you feel accompanied even on quarantine months. Both the main course and the Job Preparation are super useful.
    I had a general idea of UX and this bootcamp gave me a structure and lots of tools to leave the impostor syndrome behind and feel ready to work.

    Great UX Design course for beginners

    I chose career foundry as many of the other online boot camps had crash courses like “12 weeks” “8weeks”. Personally, I prefer the phase and approach of career foundry over these other rushed courses. It’s learn at your phase suited my learning goals. The tutor and mentors were absolutely fantastic. They were always there to help and guide and they are why I was able to stay motivated and finish the course. The course material is comprehensive and easy enough for beginners to the field t...

    Did the UI 9 month program

    You will not get a job with from the grainy form this company unless you are are the top 1%. 
    I have been a graphic designer 15 years and took this course and they leave you on your own to find a job. They didn’t show me any company’s willing to hire. You will learn some things that you could learn on YouTube, that’s it. If you don’t get a 4 year degree with a college they won’t even look at you for UI UX. CareerFoundry won’t refer you any places to apply that can help you break in to...

    My experience with CareerFoundry has been so rewarding. Even though the course is 100% online, it still has a personal touch with an experienced mentor and a helpful tutor that you're assigned from the very start. I feel like I know them, even though I have never actually met them in-person. The course taught me so much and really challenged me. I'm confident I'll be able to apply everything I learned from my course to real-world problems, I feel so ready. Thank you, CareerFoundry!

    now i i know conversational design is what i love

    Really enjoyed doing this course. I liked the practical approach. Hands on, and make your own skills on Alexa. Also liked the fact that you can always ask your teacher for help and advice. What could be better: they tend to have somewhat older articles they refer to for extra reading. They do a really good job in supporting you and making sure nothing gets in your way to reach success. The way they have organized the course is great, you can immediately see your progress.

    A rewarding, structured way to study UX with a great community

    I am about 6 months in to the UX Design program at Career Foundry at this point. Overall it has been a good experience—the tasks are broken down into good chunks, the feedback and resources have been helpful, and the mentorship has been incredibly valuable. I definitely recommend Career Foundry, especially for the community aspect. 
    My one area of improvement and encouragement to them would be to rethink the "Time Estimation" on tasks. It is helpful to know an average time, but has be...
