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.

    UX Design Course

    I have started to UX Design Program. It is not even my second month yet but I have learned a lot. My favorite part of it is its flexibility and how my mentor and tutor are always there to help with any question in my mind. It is a career path that is designed just for us so I would suggest it to anyone who is interested.

    A career-building course that works

    Super focused career-building course, teaching the things that actually work. With help from a tutor, a mentor, and several student advisors, an answer is only ever a message and just a few hours away. The structure and tools to keep up with the course at your own pace really support a self-learn experience that can be done even while working a full-time job.

    UX Design - recommended!

    I'm halfway through the UX Design course and am learning a lot. Prior to the course, I had a small amount knowledge of UX Design through my past job and this course has helped me understand it much more, particularly with the tools we used in User Research, so I can see how it can be applied to a real-life UX role. I like the structure and consistent pace of the course as well as working on the project. My tutor and mentor respond to me in good time and I find the mentor sessions valuabl...

    UX/UI Design Immersion Course Review

    I am a little over halfway through the CareerFoundry UX Immersion course and am enjoying it. The course provides a great foundation on which to build. Like any remote, self-paced program, you will get out of it exactly what you put into it. I am enjoying taking the time to learn different programs, working through the frustrations of growth, and figuring it out. They are definitely not going to do it for you which is as it should be! The tutors and mentors are great resources and be prep...

    The course is structured and doesn't make you feel overwhelmed. Each chapter requires you to do a task, which makes the course practical as it makes you think. Slack communities are also really helpful particularly when it comes to getting participants for your task, as this also gives you the opportunity to connect with other students. We also have a tutor and a mentor to help you throughout the course and at the end of the course, we are assigned with a career specialist to help us wit...

    CareerFoundry will be so worth it if you are dedicated and put effort into it. You have access to great support system like the mentors and the student community but don't expect anyone to walk you through everything step by step. You'll get what you put into it. But the system itself is well organized and I'm grateful I had amazing mentors, especially the career specialist!
