    Mind Boggling

    Career Foundry, is a great course, my mentor has told me on more than one occasion I am over analyzing and its great! However I overanalyze Everything, and it makes me rethink the knowledge I have absorbed.

    Encouraging, the staff really feels invested in your success

    The course is extremely fast paced, and it's really easy to fall behind if you have work or school at the same time as this bootcamp. However, I've had good experiences contacting the student advisors because they are very understanding of my situation and would help me get back on track. My tutor approves my tasks with some pretty generic/nonspecific feedback, sometimes I'm not sure if I'm really understanding the scope of the lesson because I don't get much constructive criticism, whic...

    Career Change within a couple of months!

    After college I felt a bit stuck because I knew I didn't want to attend grad school nor did I want to work entry level positions forever. After some research I found my field of interest (UI Design) and found CareerFoundry. So far I am incredibly impressed with the skills I have developed and how much I have learned in these past couple of months. It is incredibly impressive to go from not knowing anything in the field and finishing the course with a full polished portfolio, that was cur...

    UX Bootcamp

    Although CareerFoundry does offer multiple bootcamps, I have personally only taken the UX one and have had a wonderful experience. They offer in-depth material and give students tasks that help build knowledge. Along with the material, CareerFoundry gives students a tutor that is always a text message away and a mentor who is experienced in the field. Additionally, everyone's response time is quick and fast and they are always trying to help us get the best experience. They also have zoo...

    UX / UI - Review!

    Overall, I am incredibly satisfied with the program. It is a self-paced but the program offers guidance on how to pace oneself whether you choose to participate part or full time. Your tutor/mentor are always giving productive and helpful feedback to help you improve. My personal favorite part is how the lessons are so bite size. You read about a new exercise, directly implement that into the task of the day. This is all being gathered to build the main piece of the achievement and overa...

    Great for Career Changers and Beginners!

    I had a wonderful experience studying through CareerFoundry. I loved that it was all online and flexible. I was able to do it in my own time and at my own pace. I had two excellent mentors/tutors, who were always available to help with extra questions and advice. The free Job Preparation Course also helped immensely in preparing me for the job market and sending out professional applications. It also gave me the opportunity to set up a website that serves as my portfolio. All in all a gr...

    UX Design

    The course is designed to immerse the student on a work journey through completing small to medium tasks almost every day. It delivers some security that the curriculum will prepare you for the work environment and mostly to get a job right after finishing it. 
    The feedbacks on the tasks are encouraging but you can see it could be improved with a more personal approach rather than ready made texts. 
    The graphics for the exercises can be improved.
