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.
My adventure with Career Foundry started after I decided I wanted to improve my skills as a UX designer. I also completed their Amazon Alexa course with them. Both the UX course and the Amazon Alexa course were amazing! Their content was well organised, and often updated. Their professional mentors and tutors were always happy to help. They also make you feel like they genuinely want you succeed! Also, their Slack community was one of the best ones I've belong to: both the students and stu...

It was such a refreshing and hands-on experience, I can't recommend it enough.
To preface, I have only been in Careerfoundry's UX Design course for a month. Now with that being said, it has been an absolutely marvelous month. This is not a school, this is an opportunity. If something is not working for you, the guys at CF will find a way to make it work. If you're not feeling motivated, they'll find a way to motivate you.

To preface, I have only been in Careerfoundry's UX Design course for a month. Now with that being said, it has been an absolutely marvelous month. This is not a school, this is an opportunity. If something is not working for you, the guys at CF will find a way to make it work. If you're not feeling motivated, they'll find a way to motivate you. There is also freedom; while there are soft deadlines and structure, the amount of freedom given relieves the "chore" vibe you might get from a traditional educational institute. The provide the backbone to your learning and let you create and cater the rest to your needs.
I'd love to include some criticism, just to make this review feel more real - but with one month under my belt, I have none. If you decide to go the bootcamp route to learning, then look no further. The price, quality and quantity of knowledge cannot be bested here.
I am currently enrolled in UI design course from Careerfoundry, & I am so glad that I made this decision. There course is built brilliantly! Teaching you step by step all the necessary tools & skills, & alongwith that you have guidance from industry experts as your dedicated tutor & mentor, advisors & fellow students on platforms like slack.

I have a few months to go on my UI course and wow my experience with Career Foundry has been super great!!!:) The curriculum, freedom to work in your own pace, assistance, advice, and feedback really flow well and it is my first experience doing an online course and am really happy it has been this great experience and journey.
I would in a heartbeat recommend CF to anyone who is looking for sure!!!:)
I've been doing the 4 months course in UI Design and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who's been interested in graphic design or UI.
The courses and tasks are great, I had a very knowledgeableand helpful mentor, Olga, the teachers are very helpful and give you great and honest input and feedback on your project. You will learn every practical skill that you need to know to prepare you for the work life of a UI designe...

It's not a must but I would say that it helps you to somewhat have knowledge of Sketch before, just because I think you would get a better craftsmanship and result to publish in your portfolio. I have nothing negative to say about CareerFoundrys UI course, go for it if this is the design path you want to take!
When I was looking for a UX program, I consulted UX experts for their recommendations. Actually, that is how I found out about Careerfoundry UX Design.
As a student now, I can highly recommend the Careerfoundry UX Design program. It is a very well-structured, intense and challenging program. I am very satisfied with the program. I am learning a lot by doing and improving my work with the feedback from my teacher and mentor.
Deciding to take the leap with this course is the best decision I have made in a long time. 3 months ago, I was searching through these reviews, trying to muster up the courage to dive head-first into something that would help me make the transition to a career that is more creatively fulfilling.

I'm now halfway through the UI Design course with CareerFoundry, and I truly could not be more happy with my decision! The course walks you through the fundamentals of design, and as each assigned is project-based, you'll see your portfolio start to take shape as you progress through the course. Not to mention the amazing encouragement of the tutors, mentors and student advisors, you'll be in good hands!
This course is fast-paced, but if you put a lot into it you'll get 10 x as much out of it!
I have really enjoyed my overall experience with CF. Everyone I have met so far have been super friendly and helpful, from their support staffs to expert tutors. The curriculum (in terms of explaining concepts and assignments seem) to be a little unclear at times and that’s natural since it is a self study program. Though their staff and other students are generally willing to offer help and advice as long as you are willing to reach out.
I've started the UX design course with Career Foudry on 24 of June.
The courses are easy to follow, to understand and they're really entertaining. You have links to other sources and videos from UX experts with clarifications on the course. At the end of every course there is a task and you need to submit 3 task per week. You are assigned a tutor and a mentor and the tasks are always corrected by the end oof the day when you submitted them, or the day after. My tutor always gave ...

You are assigned a tutor and a mentor and the tasks are always corrected by the end oof the day when you submitted them, or the day after. My tutor always gave me really clear, detailed and helpful feedbacks and I am thankful to her.
Also on the course platform, you feel like in a real community.
Overall, so far I have a good experience and I would clearly recommend the school!
I was kind of stuck in the moment of my life where I was trying to figure out what can I do to feel fulfilled and happy with my carrier. I've heard about UX and it interested me since the beginning! But... "I have to get some experience and education, how I am gonna do it ?" I thought. Then I found out this amazing online course! It is very well explained and its providing very good tutors and mentors.
