    I would definitely recommend to anyone considering a career change.

    When I decided to change my career, I researched and compared all online boot camps. Then I have decided to take training from Careerfoundry. I have never had any regrets so far, I had some question marks before joining this education about online education, but I can say that the training has been very instructive because it was very well structured and with the invaluable support I received from my tutors and mentors. Although I still have time to finish my course, I have learned a lot...

    CF - course evaluation - JA

    The overall experience with the course is satisfying, as there is only so much you can teach to students in a short amount of time.
    I feel however that you course hasn't given me the self-confidence (yet) to be able to write my own codes. As I progressed along the exercises, I was able to understand what the codes do but I don't feel able to write an application by myself.
    In the beginning I also had problems with mentor/tutor responce time, especially over the weekends. Right now ...

    Perfect course for beginner or advanced!

    The course I am doing at CareerFoundry is UI Design. I am a graphic designer so I have some experience in the design field already. The course however is aimed towards all people, which is perfect because I get to relearn a few things that might have been in the far back of my mind. I get a refresher every exercise and I learn something new as well. The pace of the course can be as fast as you want it to be, which is great for me because I'm not tied to a desk from 9-5 to do the course. ...

    UI Design Program

    I am currently in the UI Design Program and almost two months away from graduating! I had no knowledge or experience in design. I mean, actually nothing. The start of the CF program was a great ease into what UI/UX is and background information of how we apply it in the real world while bringing out my creative talents. The course offers well-organized structure and informative resources along with the best guidance! I am lucky to have a patient, smart, and talented tutor and mentor who ...

    Great online program

    I'm taking the UX Design program and I really like it. The courses are well-structured and flexible. My mentor, tutor and course advisors are kind and supportive.
    I sometimes feel pressured by the end date of the program, but for others it may be a good factor to keep them focused on the study.

    UX design course - The best choice I made!

    I started my UX design course at CareerFoundry on March 2021. 
    I wasn’t sure what I was getting into and wasn’t sure if I was making the right choice. 
    Upon looking through the options online, I came across CareerFoundry. Not only did they have a great curriculum but also they offered payment options which helped me ALOT to get myself started without having to put time a big chunk of money in the beginning. The associate whom i have phone call with before I made my decision was ver...

    Highly recommended!

    I'm doing the UX design program and I must say I'm learning a lot. My tutor and mentor are amazing, I don't know how they manage to do it but they respond to any of my questions very quickly at any time of the day! So it is even handier than a presential couse. 
    I'm learning as I am working on a project, it is not just theory, most of the course is about creating your own project. I am learning while creating and while making mistakes, and I think this is the best way. I remember my u...

    UX Design

    I did not come from a tech background.  The UX Design CareerFoundry course has provided me an outline to learn about many facets of the UX realm, to stay focused on the scope of the course, and encouragement to stay at a constant pace.  It is really helpful having each assignment reviewed and graded by a tutor.  The mentors are very helpful on providing industry advice.  I have only just started the job prep course, but feel that it will be helpful to create a job search strategy, and ha...

    Great part-time option for UX

    I'm half way through my Career Foundry UX Immersion course and really enjoying it. When I was searching for a programme it was crucial that it could be part-time. Career Foundry was one of the few part-time options I found which also offered mentorship and career support. The course platform helps you track how often you need to submit tasks and shows how long they are expected to take. There is a useful Slack community. The tudors and student advisors are very responsive to any question...

    UX Design Program

    The  UX Bootcamp at Careerfoundry provides the right amount of guidance and hand-holding for career changers. I come from an engineering background with no real design experience and I thoroughly enjoyed the course work. It was very hands-on and my mentor during the immersion phase was very helpful. She guided me technically and in a detail oriented manner and encouraged me constantly to find my own style.

    UX Designer

    I recommend the CareerFondry course in UX Design. After finishing my portfolio and resume, I submitted my application and got a job in less dan two weeks! I started the program not knowing anything, and now I have become an expert in the field.

    Thanks to the course, I felt very confident about myself and the acquired skills during the interview. I am pleased about my new job and ready for bigger challenges!
