I'm a little under half-way into my Careerfoundry UI design course. I had some experience in illustration beforehand but none in UI design and I'm finding it a fantastic and informative learning experience. I love being able to go at my own pace and my mentor and tutor are incredibly helpful. My calls with my mentor in particular keep me motivated and give me confidence in my ability to get a job after this course. I haven't started the job prep course yet but I will soon!- Theresa NarvaezStudent • UX Design Program • OnlineNov 03, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Fantastic community
Hi. The level of support I am receiving from CareerFoundry has been great. The community and peers are wonderful. The mentors and tutors are top-notch as well! The thing is sometimes the coursework does not match the tasks itself. I'm only talking about the UX Immersion part of it. I don't think many programs will be perfect, but I think CareerFoundry hires great mentors for the students to feel confident in applying to jobs.

I don't think many programs will be perfect, but I think CareerFoundry hires great mentors for the students to feel confident in applying to jobs. I not only learned and am learning fantastic UX foundations, but also I'm learning a lot about myself as well. It's been a great ride. Moreover I highly suggest the Voice Specialization course because it's such a new area and CF actually offers it. - Hazem AhmedDirector of profit & Revenue • Student • Data Analytics Program • OnlineNov 03, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Loving it!
It’s just been two months into the course and I must say it has far exceeded my expectations. The content is so engaging and resourceful. We get a lot of support, direction and motivation from our teacher as well as mentor. Also the student advisors are always available in case of any concerns that we might have.The flexibility in the schedule is a boon especially for busy moms like myself. I am glad I decided to take up this course and I am hoping to ace it. 🙂 - Abdussobur KamardeenStudent • UI Design Program • OnlineOct 28, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

It's been a life-changing experience!
I've been enrolled with CareerFoundry for the last three months, and it's been a life-changing experience. I've wanted to make a career change for years, but time and financial constraints have always held me back. I'm so glad I decided to take the plunge with CareerFoundry. Their curriculum, support, guidance, and resources have given me such confidence in what I do now and what I hope to do in the future as a designer. I can't wait to see what the future holds! - Catherine SinStudent • UI Design Program • OnlineOct 14, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Good support from tutor and mentor
The course is comprehensive. It is laid out in a way that helps a newbie like me build a foundation and eventually become a pro with practice and hands-on coursework. The best part is my tutor Leon who goes through your homework in detail. The mentor is also helpful until he left the company mid-way, and I had to start the mentorship with another person. There is a slack support network which is good when I have questions and need help doing research and testing. One thing I would pick o...The course is comprehensive.

There is a slack support network which is good when I have questions and need help doing research and testing. One thing I would pick on is to allow more leeway and time to finish the course. The course must be finished within a year, but for a first-time working mom like me, it’s impossible to complete it on time. To extend the programme, I must pay a hefty extension fee after I have used up the free extension period. I would appreciate it if the extension fee was not so expensive. - Melinda OFlahertyStudent • UX Design Program • OnlineOct 13, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Very informative & fun!
Careerfoundry course hasn't felt like a bootcamp. It is really good information and the courses are fun and interactive making it easy to want to learn! When I first started the course I was unsure if I would be comfortable doing this course online and sort of "self taught" but with the support of my tutor, mentor and other student, I have adjusted and really do enjoy the program!

Even though I have already worked with data and developed Power BI dashboards, the course is valuable since visualization is an integral part of the Data Analytics process, but you need to execute other steps, previously and after.

· It is appropriate for someone who is not an expert in Excel. A specific module is dedicated to it, and you will learn how to make grouping and summarizations (among other valuable functionalities).
· It indeed provides you with the basic concepts of Data Analytics that are the foundation for the next steps in this journey.
· I would say it is a practical, self-guided and tutor-supported virtual course that will give you a better understanding of the world of Data Analytics.
