    Best Career Decision I've Made

    The UI Design Program at CareerFoundry has helped me improve immensely as a designer. My instructors and mentors are extremely supportive and genuinely want to help me succeed, which drives me to work even harder. The support from the student advisors, mentors, and tutors is amazing, I couldn't have asked for a better program.

    Not everything it’s promised to be

    CareerFoundry does a great job with their curriculum. They provide you with good amounts of basic design theory coupled with hands-on assignments.

    However, many of the assignments felt like busy work. I would have rather worked on portfolio pieces in each section than arbitrary assignments that won’t see the light of day after they’ve been submitted.

    That being said, there already is a substantial amount of work that you’ll need to put into your portfolio piece during the U...

    The experience I was looking for.

    It's been almost three months since I started the UX design course and I cannot find a reason not recommending it.
    I am in constant communication with my tutor and I have weekly meetings with my Mentor. Both of them send me a lot of additional resources to read and advice on how to improve my work. 
    Another thing I love about this course is the flexibility that I have to read and do assignments whenever I have time.

    great boot camp

    I am currently taking the full stack web development course at CareerFoundry. It has been very challenging, but also exciting, as I gradually figure out how everything works, having come into this with almost no coding experience. My mentor at CareerFoundry has been very supportive, encouraging, and helpful.

    Good Professionals but need to improve the content

    I started the course of Data Analytics in Career Foundry in March 2021. 
    Until now I learned several important tools, such as SQL, EXCEL, PYTHON, TABLEAU. But in all of them I have the impression that the content is not deep enough to make me feel comfortable and confident for a job application.
    Despite that, I can assure that the professionals behind the course are great.

    UX Design

    UX Design Immersion Course and UI Specialization - overall the course provides a general and basic background of UX, but does not seem to provide enough foundational information that is necessary.  Example is they touch on "accessibility" but have 1 paragraph on it during the actual coursework and most of the info I had to google and learn elsewhere.  The tutors are OK and seem to have a pre-determined cut and paste response format that is provided to them on how they respond to your tas...

    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.
