    UX Design

    I am super happy to have come across CareerFoundry!! At CF I feel like I am in professional hands with my goal to become an attentive UX Designer. The work is not a walk in the park, but it's worth it! In addition to all these tasks, my portfolio grows almost incidentally. CF is somehow always one step ahead of me and that drives me!

    Data Analytics Course

    It took me a while to sign up for this course and I am glad I did it, I am now half way done with the course and so far I have been really enjoying it.

    What I like the most about the course is that its self-pace, it requires a lot of self discipline and time management of course since I am working full-time but once I got the right structure everything is doable. I also really appreciated the help and support from my mentor and tutor.

    I find it fascinating how my mindset an...

    UX Design

    The course is amazing. The material is really easy to follow, resources will be always recommended in the end of each lesson or by your tutor (I don't have always time to go through them all), and you feel really supported (it's mostly casual but professional).
    My advice for anyone interested; read some of the articles on Careerfoundry's blog or watch some of the videos on YouTube channel (make your own research) to find out if you are really interested in the course subject, and take...

    Upon writing this please note that I have completed more than 75% of the course and have NOT done the job preparation course yet. 

    Without further ado, I would like to say that it has been a neat experience. I was originally a medical assistant and was prehealth for some time but due to life, decided I wanted a job where I could work from home potentially so hence UX Design came up. 

    The cost I believe is fairly reasonable compared to other programs I checked out (General A...

    You don't need to wonder anymore!

    I'm finishing my UX course at CareerFoundry and it definitely worth its money and all the effort. They built the whole journey based on the experience of the potential students. Starting with the articles in the blog, when you're in the wondering phase what to do and which way to go; to tutor and mentor, who are very helpful and motivating; to curriculum, which is written in very friendly and comprehensible language; to the vast community from all over the world; to own paced studying; t...

    Data Analytics program

    I am close to the middle of this course, so far I have covered some Excel and Tableau. What I like the most about this program is that every single thing that is covered, is linked to a project that I need to create and submit for review. Then I get feedback on my work and anything I need to change or work on in more detail. 
    The only thing I would like to see is more videos embedded in the lessons. Sometimes it is easier for me to watch a video and then repeat the steps because this ...

    From Bootcamp to Web Developer

    CareerFoundry exceeded my expectations for a web development bootcamp. I took their free web dev short course to get a feel for the program and never looked back. The curriculum is  thorough and well-structured, challenging but doable, and it's not an exaggeration to say the course changed my life.

    I was interested in the  CareerFoundry course specifically because you have access to mentorship, and that made all the difference for me. My tutor went above and beyond, and I felt con...

    The complete package

    CareerFoundry provides a remarkable curriculum. Well-balanced content with the dual mentor-tutor system, which is very helpful to guide the students and provide different points of view to advance in the coursework. The course starts covering the basics in the Introductory course to gradually level up to highly specialized content. Highly recommendable for those who may want to make a career change or broaden their studies.

    Great UX design Course

    It has a great circular. We can get 2-3 projects from the bootcamp. I love my tutor and mentor. They provide a great feedback and resources to make us industry ready. It also has Job preparation course, which is included in the bootcamp. Overall, a great Return for the money.

    CareerFoundry was the most PERFECT choice for me!

    Quitting my stable job to do a boot camp for web development was not an easy choice so I definitely took my time researching the right boot camp. Honestly, I have not regretted choosing CareerFoundry ever since I joined. I was so lucky to have been paired with such an amazing mentor who LOVES to teach, and that’s really hard to find sometimes. I also got lucky with my tutor who’s always available to help even though I know he’s also busy with his own life and other students, but he alway...
