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 ...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.

In the beginning I also had problems with mentor/tutor responce time, especially over the weekends. Right now my tutor is amazing but my mentor's technical support/knowledge could be much better. - Kaniz RahmanGraphic Designer • Student • UI Design Program • OnlineAug 10, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
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. ...The course I am doing at CareerFoundry is UI Design.

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. I can easily do it from the comfort of my couch at night or whenever/however I want.
They take feedback seriously. You can leave feedback for anything on the course from the exercise to the tutor or mentor you're assigned. There is always someone there to help you. I am doing the course with a Bildungsgutschein via the Agentur für Arbeit in Germany. And CareerFoundry has helped me through every step of the way in order for me to join the course without having to pay anything myself. I'm most excited to build up my portfolio, for which I will get guidance from my mentor and will be able to build from the exercises I'm doing. They also help you with finding a job afterwards and you can prep yourself with the Job Preparation course they provide once you're halfway done with your course.
I would definitely recommend this school to anyone who is searching for a career change, or wants to skill up in their field. So far I'm very happy with the course. - EunjiStudent • UI Design Program • OnlineAug 09, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
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.

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. - Otis LaurieStudent • UX Designer • OnlineAug 09, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

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.

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 very nice and walked me through the program. I have spoken to several other program’s associates by that time and each time I felt a little rushed and they almost sounded like they didn’t care much about the struggles I was going through while trying to make which could be a life changing decision. However, with CareerFoundry, i felt welcomed and assured that they will help me every step of the way.
After I made my decision to go to CareerFoundry, i started my program. Unfortunately, I wasn’t 100% satisfied with the tutor I was assigned to. When I shared my thoughts with the Academic Counselor, she re-assigned the tutor which I’m absolutely happy with. This re-assured me that CareerFoundry cares about their students and willing to help out when needed.
I’m very satisfied with my tutor and mentor that CareerFoundry assigned me to.
My tutor is Levi Schubkegel and Mentor is Sagan Markley. Levi gives such a great, insightful and encouraging feedbacks whenever I turned in my tasks and when I ask questions, he gives such a helpful answers and makes it easier for me to understand. My mentor, Sagan, also gives me awesome and encouraging feedbacks whenever I turn in my work. One of the best thing about CareerFoundry is that I get to schedule unlimited phone call meetings with my mentor. I’ve been talking to Sagan whenever I have a chance and I’ve been enjoying every minute of the meeting! Every time I’m in the meeting with her, i get to hear and learn things I wouldn’t have been able to find out myself which I believe is something super important and valuable. She’s also very encouraging which make me feel less overwhelmed with this transitioning.
Courses at CareerFoundry are well-structured and I like the fact that I can go back to the course materials even after I’m done with the program.
I believe that I made such a good decision my choosing CareerFoundry.

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 university days when most of it was studying and taking exams. Here is all about creating a real project.
I must say that sometimes can be hard, you have to put a lot of work into it, but it is completely worth it. My tutor and mentor help me a lot, and with all this hard work I feel confident about my project, it'll be something worth putting in my portfolio.
Again, I recommend the course, just put all your effort into it to take the best of it. - Jodi McCallStudent • Student • UX Design Program • OnlineAug 09, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

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.

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. - Alice RuizUX/UI Designer • Graduate • UX Designer • OnlineJul 27, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
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!
