Taking care of my child, elderly parents and extended family- I took online courses, but felt lost when it came to looking for work. The world has changed ! One day while browsing Instagram, I came across CareerFoundry. Joining the course of UX Design was the life altering experience for me. Apart from excellent content of the course that is broken into small achievable goals, prompt input from tutor, regular guidance from mentor helps. The student advisors and onlife CF community makes sure that you do not get into your shell. CF, from time to time keeps a check on the pace at which you are learning and generously tweaks your timeline too. With time, I can see that I am gaining confidence and knowledge to be ready for joining the workforce in technology. I would strongly recommend people, especially women like me, to consider a course in CF.

I am very pleased with my experience with CareerFoundry so far.

I was learning web development on my own before I decided to enroll, but now that I've made it near the end of the program, I know that there is no ways I would have made it to the level I am at now on my own. Their mentoring and feedback have been great and it is that human interaction that made me want to join their program. I have a tutor and mentor for web development as well as a mentor for career-preparation and they all have been incredibly helpful and have gone beyond what my expectations.
With much information on the internet I knew that I could learn anything I wanted for free. The problem with that is it's difficult to know what information is worth learning and spending your time on. CareerFoundry's curriculum and mentoring have really kept me on the right path and I feel that I have learned much more efficiently than I would have if I was still trying to do this on my own.
Compared to other bootcamps I researched, I felt that CareerFoundry had the best value and I really liked that they emphasized the mentoring and feedback because those have been most important to me.
As someone who is 5 months into the program and getting close to the applying for jobs, I can say that I am very satisfied with my decision to enroll with CareerFoundry. I am proud of myself that I have invested the time and effort into their program and I feel very confident that what I'm learning will get my career started on the right foot. I would recommend it to anyone who is serious about learning web development or making a career transition like I am.- Hope HungStudent • UX Design Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJan 21, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
UX Design Course - UI Specialization
If you're looking for a course that will give you the best flexibility to your schedule while gaining the most skills to become job-ready in a short amount of time, then I would highly recommend this course!

Great personal touch
I started learning UX Design at CareerFoundry in August 2020.

The curriculum itself is, most of the new knowledge is well explained, although more learning videos would not be bad especially at the visuals part.
My overall experience positive and I'm being approached often this time by people from my network if I would recommend the school. My answer is always a big yes! - Rafael Migliorini PuzzilliStudent • UX Design Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJan 21, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing staff and platform
Career Foundry is a well thought remote course. The platform is easy to follow. A lot of tools to help you annotate and keep in touch with mentor, tutor and the student community (a lot of slack channels for this).
It's a great place to study when remote learning is the norm.
Oh, and the staff is very helpful and understanding with student's custom needs. - JuliaGraduate • UX Design Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJan 21, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing asset to my Graphic Design skills
I would like to say, that the course was quite good because I have learned about the interviews and empathy while conducting them. I could learn essential UI design skills as well. The mentor calls every week kept me motivated to continue working. Once again thank you :) - Lina St.Graduate • UX Design Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJan 12, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Along the way it has been hard at times, but the layout of the course is easy to follow. It let's you know what pace you are at and gives you some freedom. It consists of reading a chapter and doing a project at the end. So you will be learning a lot of hands on skills.
My mentor and tutor have been outstanding and role models. Cameron and Jayneil, thank you so much for your hard work. It is up to the student to schedule calls and follow up if they need help. So you need to be some what of a self starter. I usually am a lazy guy and I was able to do it. So don't give up.
It took a long time to pick a boot camp but I am glad I chose Careerfoundry. The website was the first one I found when randomly researching UX bootcamps. The price was right in the middle and it influenced my decision greatly. Luckily they did a good job at selling the program. I have yet to do my specialization program at the end of the Immersion course, but I know it will be a good experience.
If you aren't sure what bootcamp to decide I suggest Careerfoundry. The job guarantee sells itself really. What do you have to lose? Stop hesitating like I did and take a leap!
Thank you Careerfoundry. - KoshDigital Content Designer • Student • UX Designer • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJan 09, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I am very close to finishing my course and every single day I have been growing my knowledge and design skills with lots of joy. I feel in great hands with very experienced and respectable tutor and mentors dedicated to me. They have always been there for me, for any doubt I have, giving me valuable feedback and lots of encouragement. I enjoy that we also do video calls which make it personal as well! I feel extremely happy studying with CareerFoundry. I read the course with joy as it's written in a very understandable, simple and even fun way. Are you a TOTAL beginner like me? then this is just the perfect guidance, really. I feel I have been learning so much and really build a great portfolio that I can't wait to share when I start applying for jobs. Another thing I find great is the Community at CareerFoundry with other UI/UX, Web development, Data Analyst and more students, currently studying or already graduated. We can give and receive feedback on our work, which is absolutely great and sooo valuable! In these times in 2020 it's more difficult to go places and be very social spending time with others, but since I am doing this course, I gained two study buddies that became my co-work buddies and great friends at the same time. We learn from eachother, network and have a breakfast, dinner or a good cup of coffee together as well. Once again, I feel in great hands at CareerFoundry and I would love to help others and recommend who want to change their career or expand their knowledge in one of these fields.
