    Not what I expected

    Perhaps I didn't look into it enough to fully understand how I would learn however I was expecting more engagement rather then reading and completing task after task with only a mentor and a tutor to assist. If you are someone like me that can get easily distracted unless monitored or with short deadline please look into it properly. besides this I am still going to complete my course and hope it will lead to a career change.

    Great program

    I have been part of the careerfoundry UX program since June and I love it. The pacing is great, the courses all make sense, my mentor and tutor are a great match for me and have been so helpful and insightful. Doing this course hasn’t felt like work, it has been so good to do. The resources are incredible.

    Amazing experience and great support system!

    I am now taking the course and it has been wonderful. I have all the support I need even though it's an online self-paced course. The team is amazing and very responsive. I also have access to other students to discuss the course and help with reviews. Highly recommend :)

    Great curriculum and support from tutors, mentors and the wider community

    CareerFoundry's curriculum is engaging and to the point. Also, pretty updated to current standards in the field. 
    I got a job in UX after only two months of starting the course. While I already had some previous training and experience, having the course listed on my CV helped me to get noticed by recruiters. 
    The mentor and tutor I was paired with are friendly and encouraging. They helped me prepare for my interviews and checked in to see how I was doing. The student community is ...

    Thorough, professional and still affordable

    I’ve really enjoyed my time working on this course! I really just wish I lived closer to where the rest of Career Foundry’s users are. A study buddy would be helpful, but the mentors and tutors are still a good help!

    A hands-on crash course in data analysis

    I have found this course to be a great introduction and dive into many of the key tools that a data analyst will use in the workplace. I had a wonderful mentor who provided some great advice and feedback. I wish there was an opportunity to get face-to-face feedback from tutors on task submissions, but overall very happy with the course.

    Flexible

    I enjoy thé asynchrony of the course. My tutor is quick to grade my exercise and respond to my questions along with additional resources. I like that each lesson has videos and extra articles and student examples. This helps me have a fuller grasp of each concept. The bootcamp is pretty expensive; but hopefully it pays off with a good paying job at the end.

    CF course review

    Great and thorough course. Definitely recommend. Tutor and mentors Great. Very supportive. They provide a very solid base for learning. The only comments I have is that the statistical part of the first assignment is too condensed in two short exercises. Not great for Someone who's new to the field. Other than that, very happy with then.

    Mind blowing

    I completed the FREE Bootcamp and it was incredible. The camp gave me insight into something I already enjoyed and seeing what one can do with data, how to clean, manipulate and create visual aids is incredible. The advisors are great, Karlen is my primary advisor and is quick to answer emails, pushes me to improve my work, and is always suggesting helpful articles to read to further develop my skills.  I looked at other schools, but none had the passion and support from the staff that C...
