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.

    UI Designer that's now employable

    With no real-world UI Design experience, CareerFoundry has developed me into a UI Designer, that's now employable. From the start of the UI Design program, my tutor, mentor and student advisors have been total pros. Excellent communication of what's expected to achieve and they continue to offer guidance in a genuine manner. No fluff. I'm switching careers from being an on-air radio broadcasting professional to the tech-design sector. I couldn't be more excited about my UI Design future....

    Great for People Considering New Careers

    The thing I like most about CareerFoundry is that it's geared toward people who are switching careers, so there's a lot of emphasis on using your previous skills and dealing with impostor syndrome. I also like that they explain UX concepts in great detail, and break down tasks into more manageable chunks. The tutor and mentor support is also very important and I found it helpful that each student gets one-on-one support. The Job Prep course is also fantastic, as it helps you build a resu...

    Amazing way to learn UX

    Being brand new to the field, career foundry has done an amazing job of introducing me to all the different aspects of UX in a way that makes it digestible and encouraging. The most helpful thing has been the access to both a tutor and a mentor who have the knowledge and insight to really help me take my projects to the next level. I am not done with the course yet but I don’t think there is anything else they could do to make me more confident that I’d be ready for my job within UX. Tru...

    Best way to change your career path

    I was looking for a new path in my career. I studied fashion design but I have always been interested in research and to apply design to find solutions. I found career foundry when I was looking for new options and I decided to study with them because of the support of your mentors and Tutors, it’s easier to make an important change if you are supported by professional people.

    sadly a waste of time

    I had high hopes, but CareerFoundry didn't live up to them. I learned practically nothing that I couldn't have gathered from a 10 minute YouTube video. The materials were very superficial and disconnected from real work in the industry. I would have liked to learn about decision making strategies in design, not basic facts like "your font size should be legible". The tutors and mentors focused more on being "encouraging" than helping me improve, and their feedback was often just copy-pas...

    I am almost finishing my UX immersion course. I have learned so much and I wouldn't be able to progress so fast if I didn't have started this course with CareerFoundry. My mentor Julia and my tutor Valentina are helping everyday! Any question I have they are there to support me. I also have met so many amazing people from other countries that are doing the same course as me. We are all supporting each other and getting inspired with each other. The best of all of this, there is a mentor ...
