    Bootcamp

    I joined the Full-Stack Immersion course to level up on my existing skills. I always wanted a mentor who can guide me when I am stuck somewhere and help me out.

But there is so much to learn for every individual. They also help you with career mentorship. Where they help you with preparing an industry-standard resume and cover letter...

    UX Design

    I'm nearly halfway through this course, studying full time. So far, the tutor and mentor support has been excellent, with speedy and constructive responses to my coursework submissions (usually within a few hours). I think there is a limit to the number of hours you can book with your mentor, but it's nearly impossible to reach this. I've found the mentor sessions invaluable for understanding how the course content fits into a real-world scenario. Your mentor has a good awareness of the ...

    Taking a career leap with career foundry!

    I'm thoroughly enjoying the career foundry course! I love how flexible the program is; you can study as much or as little as you want each week. The lessons are detailed, and you are never alone in the journey! There is a great community of other students on slack that help support and motivate each other. I'd like more visual elements to the teaching side, this is a personal opinion as I am ADHD and struggle to read so much online. My only criticism would be that the responses from tuto...

    CareerFoundry has your back

    After doing my research and reading about Career Foundry, I decided to sign-up for their 5 days’ free course which was very helpful. I started with them because I read that I will have a mentor, a tutor, and student advisors. I am about to finish the UX Designer course and so far I am happy. Things happen and no school is perfect, but the fact that they improve everyday matters to me, and I can say that they are always there to support in case I need help. I am self motivated and am tota...

    Great Flexibility

    I have 2 kids and work full time while taking a UI course, needless to say I dont have a lot of free time. This has been an incredibly flexible course where I can plow ahead one week if I need to take a break on another.

    Data Analysis Intro Course Was Great

    I recently completed the month long Intro to Data Analysis course and loved it. The tutors and mentors were very helpful and the course touched on all of the areas involved in data analysis. Once my work schedule settles a little bit I will probably go back and take the 24 week course! 
    Highly recommend!
