    CareerFoundry gives you all the tools you need to be successful.

    So far, my bootcamp experience has been a lot to take in. At CareerFoundry, they provide numerous tools to help you succeed, but it’s up to you to make the most of them. The content is thorough, and the tutors always respond to my questions and review my work within 48 hours. My mentor does the same and takes the time to assess my work, offering valuable guidance. With over 10 years of industry experience, I make sure to listen to her advice.The bootcamp also offers a Slack ch...

    Challenging but rewarding

    After completing the Full Stack Web Development program and sharing my portfolio with a few people that I personally know in software, I'm confident that I am ready to start my career in the tech industry. Their approach of learning by doing is perfect for me. I started off struggling with javascript, mainly functions, but by the end of the course it was like adding 2 plus 2. My tutor John has made me so confident now in troubleshooting my own code, something that was very daunting at fi...

    Too repetitive but useful

    After a while I get tired of reading so much, I wish you had more videos. I also don’t get the point of mentors besides reviewing projects. I understand that they’re about “the bigger picture” but I actually don’t know what to ask them about

    Super supportive and great teaching

    I’ve found that Career Foundry is all round so supportive. They answer my questions within 24 hours each time and have given me all the advice and support I could need. Resources are abundant and every little thing you could be curious about is answered and if not, given an article to where it’s answered. I’m having a great time learning from this course. I’m taking the UI/UX course and couldn’t recommend it enough.

    Unresponsive Tutor

    The course is designed to have the tutor help you through the course and respond to you within 24 hours. I chose the flex schedule which means I should be able to work at my own pace. Unfortunately, the tutor I was assigned to usually takes 3 to 4 days to respond. When I do have time to work on the course, I'm unable to because my coursework sits for days at a time waiting for my tutor to review. Exercises build one upon another, often having you delete old code and re-working things wit...

    Engaging UX Design Student Experience

    I'm halfway through CareerFoundry's UX Immersion section and thoroughly impressed with the well-structured and comprehensive curriculum. The deep dives into practical design skills like user research, wire-framing, and prototyping have been incredibly enriching. The hands-on projects and personalised mentor feedback have helped me solidify concepts in a real-world context. While the pace can be challenging, especially while juggling other commitments, it's manageable and keeps me engaged...

    Learning a lot!

    I've been learning a ton from the CareerFoundry Full-Stack course. I've only been at it for a few months, and I already feel comfortable with basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, even though I had VERY little experience before I started. The tutors and mentors give great feedback, and I love that I can study at my own pace.

    Wish college was taught this way.

    Honestly, I think college and university should be structured this way.  You apply what you learn after each lesson to create a portfolio to be able to present on future job applications.  Lots of support available not only for what you’re learning but also during your career search. I would highly recommend careerfoundry.  I wish I did it sooner!
