    Well structured course

    The course is really well structured and interesting. It feels good to work on a real project and see it growing :) I started from zero but I can see I'm doing a lot of progress. 
    Communication with mentor and tutor could be better, there could be for sure better standards, but you can contact the student service center and they might change tutor or mentor in some cases.

    Great support through industry experts

    Why I decided to go for CF? Because of their great support through tutor, mentor & career specialists that separates the CF offer from other competitors. I do love chatting about everything ux related with my tutor.

    Full-Stack Web Dev

    6 Month of Full-Stack Web Developer training. Very nice supportive tutors and mentors. The Programm is nice but also very tough to get into if have no experience about the topic before. You really need to do a lot of studying and practicing the content. Overall it is very challenging but it is setting a good start for a future career in IT.

    Take IT career to another leve

    Before attending Careerist I wasn't quite sure how to take my IT career to another level. During those 11 weeks of the immersive program, I received the tools and fast-paced skills to be a great QA Automation Engineer. I can confidently say that I am no longer just a tester. I can now master Automation, l use the popular language Python and I am an in-demand QA Engineer.

    UX Design Program

    CareerFoundry helped me to deepen my knowledge about UX and finally start my own projects and my portfolio. For me, it was fine to do the course part-time, but I probably would recommend doing it full-time. I think that will help you to have the whole learning experience because I didn't have that much time doing bonus tasks or browsing through the resources of the chapters.

    UX design: Highly recommended

    I began my UX design course at CareerFoundry four months ago. I'm quite pleased with my decision. The course is well-structured, and the projects and activities are highly practical. The tutors and mentors are quite competent, and I feel extremely well supported. As you build your portfolio throughout the course, you will be ready to apply for jobs at the end. I haven't started the job preparation course yet, so I can't provide an evaluation of that part.

    Wonderful Mentorship

    I really enjoyed the first part of the course, and my tutor and mentor really care about me; they give really great feedback and we have rapport. I think that I will eventually learn all the programs I need to get a job, and the staff at CareerFoundry make sure that I know what is expected of me in order to get a job by the end of the course. I am very grateful and would recommend this course to anybody interested in UX.

    Good Camp for Flexible-time Learners

    The course is well designed for the learner who need to work and learn side by side, while it still has a process to constrain  learning pace to encourage finishing the course on time. The curriculum is practical and elaborate. Tutor and mentor are helpful!
