    CareerFoundry Review

    CareerFoundry is a great platform for someone like me with no Tech experience and wants to transition to a career within the UX/UI field. Their content is not only informative but always up to date, so I am always confident that the study materials being taught will allow me to practice industry standards in the real world. The concept of their course is very useful as I was able to work on a real world project that I can add to my portfolio. Instead of having just a certification to sho...

    Best course to get you started in UX Design field

    This is a perfect course for everybody having 0 knowledge but a lot of motivation to get started in the UX field. The course gives a lot of insights and knowledge and project-based learning lets you "get your hands dirty" and learn by doing and getting a first taste of the actual work.

    Data Analytics

    Definitely recommend. For anyone in a tech role, you're always going to be updating your skills. You can never learn enough or have enough practice. But my course with CF gave me the skill set and confidence necessary to learn on my own, without a college degree. I feel very prepared for the junior data analyst role and for a lifelong career. The skills you learn also match up almost exactly to the job descriptions of junior analyst job postings, with some data science curriculum as a pl...

    Amazing experience!

    I absolutely LOVED my time studying UX Design with CareerFoundry and honestly it was so much better than I had hoped! 

    I had brilliant mentors and tutors to guide me and I received great feedback throughout, I really doubt I could have excelled this much without all this feedback! The course does its best to prepare you for work afterwards and does a good job considering it is fully online. The course is broken down into manageable chunks and you learn not only core principles and...

    FullStack Web Development

    The structure seems to me to be very good, the online materials are very detailed and understandable, so that one can orientate oneself even when working on the job without having to look for other sources.

    Just excellent!

    Everything here is to get you from knowing nothing to start a career. Great pace, no worries if you are late on summiting your homework, but this is not for slackers. The course do a great job of giving you everything for you to succeed, specially with the job guarantee program.

    Only negative is that they don't teach you how to use the softwares you will be using on the job (Adobe XD, Sketch, Figma, etc) rather they guide you to use such tools but it's up to you to learn them at y...

    Amazing!

    I have had the best experience with Career Foundry so far. I’m a French teacher and have no prior experience with coding, but I’m thrilled with everything I’ve been able to do so far. The curriculum is clear and easy to follow. My tutor and mentor are great and always helpful whenever I have questions or get confused. I haven’t yet gotten to the job search part but I feel very supported and encouraged. I’m so glad I took the plunge and signed up.

    Worth your money!

    I think if you are new to the UX design field, need flexible time to learn,  you must choose CareerFoundry because its course is very well structured. It consists of an intro UX course, a UX Immersive course, and a specialization course. After learning, you will be proud of yourself can do the UX design. Also, they have a great team to support you. You do not feel alone even though this is online learning.

    Worth the money!!!

    I'm taking the full UX course which includes an intro course, an Immersion course and a specialization course. I love how much they focus on the design process and drilling it in. I also love that you come out with multiple projects for your portfolio. 

    Some more things I love:
    • Lots of mentorship 
    • Video calls with mentors
    • Lots of freedom to design your own way
    • Constructive criticism
