CareerFoundry is an online bootcamp that offers flexibly paced programs for career changers in web development, UX design, UI design, product design, data analytics, digital marketing, and product management. Headquartered in Berlin but with a global student base, CareerFoundry has provided tech education since 2013.
CareerFoundry combines the flexibility of online learning with the guidance of mentors and tutors through their dual mentorship model, training students to become job-ready in four to 12 months, or their money back.
No previous experience is required to apply for the programs. Students should have access to a computer and an internet connection, and an interest in the topic they are planning to study. 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.
I'm very glad I found this course. I'm in the middle of a career transition and the support they provide at careerfoundry is tremendous! Definitely recommend!
I'm halfway through the UX design course and I must say that so far I've been loving it! I knew very little of UX before starting the course so I found the UX Fundamentals really helpful to gain a better understanding of the subject. I was worried that the material in the UX Immersion would be repetitive but it was not the case: the module is well structured and very focused on the course project. I am a big fan of the learning by doing approach and I am truly having fun while doing the co...
I'm halfway through the UX design course and I must say that so far I've been loving it! I knew very little of UX before starting the course so I found the UX Fundamentals really helpful to gain a better understanding of the subject. I was worried that the material in the UX Immersion would be repetitive but it was not the case: the module is well structured and very focused on the course project. I am a big fan of the learning by doing approach and I am truly having fun while doing the course.
Also, my mentor and tutor are simply exceptional: they always provide me with timely and encouraging feedback, not to mention the great insight into the UX world I can have chatting with my mentor. I hope to have the same support while looking for a job. So far, I can only say good things about CareerFoundry.
Excellent course, Worth every penny/cent :) Amazing people on the board helping you to get what you always wanted to have, a new creative career in the digital design tech world. Very well organized, structured. Lots of interesting content and massive support 24/7. Thank you, I really appreciate that you are there and that I found you.
To take the UX Design course was the best decision I made. I studied cultural science and was a writer before, but not happy, so I decided to make a career change. I began to read the books of Steve Krug last year and read all about UX Design. I began with the course in April and studied 40 hours/week. It was for me, without any experience in UX Design, a lot of work, I had to study on the weekend, too. The course material and the links to important websites were very good, I learned so mu...

It was for me, without any experience in UX Design, a lot of work, I had to study on the weekend, too. The course material and the links to important websites were very good, I learned so much, and I’m able to create wireframes and screens with Balsamiq and Sketch, prototypes with InVision, I learned a lot about UX Research, agile UX, scrum, information architecture and concepts. I began the job preparation course (guarantee for getting hired) and found a job as a Trainee UX Designer while applying for jobs. I recommend the course to everyone who wants to become a UX Designer!
To be honest I don't feel like your exercises are designed for people who are completely new to this industry. You constantly mislead students by posting absurd estimated times of completion when in actuality the task takes several days to complete. I am behind because it took 6 f**** days to complete high fidelity wireframes and my mentor was not satisfied because of them. Then the current usability tests are obviously heavy and require WAY MORE TIME! Then the 5 hours est. complete time i...

Then the current usability tests are obviously heavy and require WAY MORE TIME! Then the 5 hours est. complete time it states (so fake and misleading) and I receive an email saying that I'm behind. Seriously? I work day in and day out 8 plus hours and still can't catch up.

I was in need of a career change and randomly came across an advert for the UX design course from CF, I looked into it and spoke with an advisor and never looked back! I have about 1 month left to go before graduation and can't wait to get my portfolio sorted and start a career in design.
Coming from a non design background, I was a bit apprehensive, but right from the beginning the course everything has been tailored to my needs. I can set my own goals + schedules and everything...

Coming from a non design background, I was a bit apprehensive, but right from the beginning the course everything has been tailored to my needs. I can set my own goals + schedules and everything I have learnt so far is helping me for the future.
Highly recommended!
As a formal UI Design Course Student, I´m in the middle of my education and so far It has been great. The provided material is very clear and I really like the fact that includes some extra information for those moments where you want to read more about a specific topic.

The support that I got from my Tutor has been crucial for me to keep my motivation high and also the feedback from my Mentor helped me a lot to see the things with a different point of view and improve my skills.
Sometimes It can be challenging to do all of this by yourself at home, but so far I haven't felt completely alone because they kept encouraging me to communicate with other students via Slack and provide the opportunity to reach out the student advisor in case of any question or support.
I can just recommend this course and I´m very happy with my desition.
Coming from a totally different background, this experience makes me believe that changing my career will open very interesting opportunities.
This is my 5th month in on CareerFoundry and so far, I'm really pleased with my experience here! Because of my current job, it's hard to balance time one week from the next so I love how flexible the curriculum is- you go at your own pace. The lessons are all applicable and I'm learning soo much right now. Not only am I learning concepts of UX designing, I'm also learning software programs that would be useful for the future. Lastly, I really like how even though this is an online program,...

Lastly, I really like how even though this is an online program, you still have the opportunity to speak with a mentor about anything design related. So far, I think it's a great investment!
I've been a visual designer for more than 10 years, in both print and digital spaces. However, I've never before had formalized training in UX. The CareerFoundry program is amazing. The immersive program includes the theoretical foundations for a hands-on initiation into executing with industry best practices. While a fraction of exercises covered material I'd learned in art school or learned on the job, the majority of the work was new, and challenging. And the tutors and mentors encourag...
I've been a visual designer for more than 10 years, in both print and digital spaces. However, I've never before had formalized training in UX. The CareerFoundry program is amazing. The immersive program includes the theoretical foundations for a hands-on initiation into executing with industry best practices. While a fraction of exercises covered material I'd learned in art school or learned on the job, the majority of the work was new, and challenging. And the tutors and mentors encourage students to plunge ever more deeply. They are always knowledgable and supportive. And I'm finding that really necessary with Voice Design, since it's a whole new world for me.
I'm very happy with the course! It's accessible for non-english native speaker, the team is also vers supportive and responsive :) Changing career is not easy, but everything is made to motivate the students. The community out there is also very supportive! Great experience, I'll highly recommend the course! Kind regards, Ewen
