Students apply via the CareerFoundry website by connecting with an advisor who can talk through their options. Students will need to pay a deposit to secure their place, then complete the required pre-work before the program commences.

    Web Development Track

    Learning with CareerFoundry was one of the best choices I have ever made. It helps you get to experience with HTML, CSS, and JS which are the three essentials to build websites. If you are willing to put in some hours, then CF is undoubtedly the best option for you.

    Overall Pleased

    CareerFoundry's online program is great for me because I can structured my time as I like it. I like that I'm learning by doing and that I will have 3 projects for my portfolio at the end of the program. Even though I don't have access to its Job Preparation Course yet (You have access to it upon 50% completion of your main program.), I'm impressed with the career specialist with whom I've interacted so far.

    Awesome course :)

    I am halfway through CareerFoundry's UX course, and my experience couldn't have been better! The curriculum is well-designed, so even career changers like me can follow it, and having 2 experts in the field helping me along the way is super helpful and supportive. Student support is excellent, with attentive student advisors I can reach out to no matter what the issue. I highly recommend this course to anyone getting started in UX :)

    This program is really great for anyone looking to make a career pivot to UX Design. It's much cheaper than some other programs and the lessons are comparable.

    Data Analysis Course

    I'm currently about 3 months into the Data Analysis course through CareerFoundry. I work full time and have two children, so flexibility was important for me in searching for the correct program.

The project-based curriculum provides hands on experience with the material, which makes me feel like I'm making the most of my time in preparing for my next career step. I...

    Review of data analytics program

    The data analytics program is designed to introduce and provide the student with the mindset and skills to effectively conduct and communicate data analyses processes to relevant stakeholders.  I have found the course materials to be relatively straightforward and easy to follow. My specific circumstances give me the ability to commit 6-8 hours per day to the program, which allowed me to move through the introduction to data analytics program fairly quickly.  At this stage I am progressi...

    So far so good

    The course offers a very good overview and comprehensive deep dive into the world of UX design. Each section gives you the material needed to succeed in that particular area, with a quiz and task to be completed at the end.  While having to complete a task may seem overwhelming at first, these requirements are segmented in such a  way as to help with the overall picture and retention of what was just learned as well as allow you to piece together your portfolio at the end in a seamless m...
