Learning in a flexible online environment
I’m enjoying learning UX through CareerFoundry. The flexible model works really well for me since I can take a break if work/personal life is busy and make up for it when I have more time. Learning oline can be a bit lonely though especially when it involves tasks usually completed in teams like user research. I have found it helpful to go to mentor when I’m feeling lonely/unmotivated. The mentor/tutor model has been good. - Raul BrandCorporate Assistant Buyer • Student • Data Analytics Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJul 17, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

It's good that they provide examples of how certain tasks are done so I will have an idea o how to approach the task expected of me to do. However, they need to make sure that the demo examples are correct become there were a few that does not really match how the tasks are supposed to get done correctly and as students, we tend to model our work based on the examples given. Another thing to point out is the allotted time for each task. Sometimes, the time estimates given per task are not very realistic. They need to consider that not all students are the same, not everyone absorbs what they read quickly and not everyone has a set of technical skills to meet the timeframe. I remember doing a few tasks which says 4-6 hours but in reality, there is no way I can finish them at that rate, especially if I had to interview 3-5 people, arranging the interview alone takes time plus the amount of time you spend gathering and organising the data and making a presentation. Other than that, I am really enjoying this course, my mentor and tutor are really awesome. Mohit is very encouraging and helps me to push myself to finish my tasks on time. Rachel has always been amazing, very thorough with her feedback and you can tell they she is actually taking her time in assessing my work. I am learning so much and I hope I finish on time despite my struggles in juggling my time between work and studying. - Basavaraj HittinahalliStudent • UX Design Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJun 20, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The reason why I chose to join to CF was because I can do my work anytime I have free time, I have been sending info request to a lot of schools but none of them works with my schedule, my tutor and mentor are helping me a lot with my study too. - Amy SenftlebenMarketing Art Director/Designer • Student • UI Design Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInMay 12, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

I'm almost 4 months into my 9-month UI design course and I've been very impressed with the quality of the content and the student support. I have a great tutor and mentor who have been super supportive, and I feel like I'm learning a lot. I was looking for a course with great UX and UI—CareerFoundry practices what it teaches. I'm looking forward to the job placement support when I get to that point in the course. - Mrinmayee KulkarniGraphic Designer • Student • UX Design Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInMay 12, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Great Program for Career Change & Upskilling
Initially I enrolled to improve my data analytical skills particularly in SQL, Tableau, and Python, but fortunately I got the opportunity to learn a lot more than that. I appreciate having an assigned tutor, mentor, and career specialist to ask questions and get personalized responses in a timely manner (within 8-16 hours).

I appreciate having an assigned tutor, mentor, and career specialist to ask questions and get personalized responses in a timely manner (within 8-16 hours). All three were detailed in their feedback on my assignments, and gave me useful tips for improvement in the future. I also appreciated that they're practitioners in the field, so I got a "real-world" perspective as it related to the fundamentals we were learning throughout the lessons. The lessons were broken down in a clear and easy-to-follow manner, so it's definitely doable for beginners and those who looking for a career change. Though there were definitely some challenging lessons for sure, they were never unreasonable for a student. While I'm not currently looking for a career change, I'm still participating in the job preparation portion of the course as it provides great tips and tools I may be able to use in the future. I particularly found the elevator pitch and resume building lessons beneficial as it helped me reframe how I present myself both verbally and on paper. - Shawn-Michelle JohnsonStudent • UX Design Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInMay 08, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Worth Losing My Job For!
I learned about this program when my job was on the line and I was being pushed to go back to college for a Bachelor degree. As there wasn’t a degree option relevant to my job, I pitched the Digital Marketing program at Career Foundry which I’d found while doing extensive research. It had great reviews and I had a phenomenal experience with my Admissions rep. Learning about career guarantee, the specialization, and the ability to have access to other courses made it even better.

It had great reviews and I had a phenomenal experience with my Admissions rep. Learning about career guarantee, the specialization, and the ability to have access to other courses made it even better. The company didn’t support the idea so I was let go and I immediately enrolled in the UX Design program. I’ve been in it for 2.5 months now and have absolutely no regrets. I have a great tutor and knowledgeable mentor and am impressed all around.
