    Teacher to Tech

    Career Foundry has been a great experience so far. I really enjoy working with my tutor and meeting with my mentor. I feel like I’m learning a lot and doing a lot of good work to build my portfolio and skill set. I am doing the program part time and working full time as a Pre-K teacher. Completing the course on my own time has been very helpful, I really enjoy the flexibility.

    CF FullStack Review

    I have had a very positive experience so far with CareerFoundry. I started the FullStack program in February with almost zero coding experience. My CF tutor has consistently provided specific, meaningful feedback on each task; his responses are so quick, usually in a couple hours. I've also had a supportive and engaging mentor who has talked at length about his professional experience in additional to offering constructive insights about my bigger achievement projects.

    Great decision

    I choose Careerfoundry to start my UI journey because of the great ratings and reviews I read all over the internet and the possibility to get a voucher for this course from the Jobcenter. I was a little bit skeptical if this course would match my expectations but not only did it match them my expectations got surpassed. I am right now in the middle of this course and the way of learning is perfect for me. I really hope to increase my job chances but if they keep their promise I am optim...

    Data Analytics

    Great to have joined this course. It was just what I needed as a beginner. All concepts explained in a very simplified way and the best part is the Tutor and mentor who guide and review your work to further improve it as per industry requirements. Highly recommend this one.

    Data Analytics Program

    The course content is great and very varied. Some of the instructions are not entirly clear however and can lead to confusion. Also, some of the provided datasets in the Python module are too large for a normal person's PC to process which leads to memory issues and ultimately delays progress with the course.

    UI Design Program

    I started the UI Design program with CareerFoundry in December 2021, on track to finish by September (I'm doing a part-time track) and I'm loving my experience so far. I'm a nanny with a fine arts background, and really wanted a career change, but I wasn't sure which direction to go. I spoke with some friends with similar backgrounds and experiences who decided to go the tech route (some programmers, some UX designers) with either CF or similar bootcamps. They've since finished their pro...
