    A great start

    The UX Design course is a great starting point for entering the field without design experience. The course recommends a number of helpful, outside sources for further learning. Additionally, constant access to a tutor and mentor have been invaluable as I gain new skills and enter a brand new space.

    CareerFoundry is reinspiring my love for learning!

    I came to CareerFoundry really burnt out and dissatisfied with my job and desperate to seek something with better work life balance. I was looking to just zoom through the course and get a new job, but the more I delved into the curriculum, the more I was interested and appreciated the real life practical application. What started out as just annoying coursework to get me to the next step, turned into a passion for UX research and the practical benefits of really understand how to solve ...

    So far, so good!

    I’ve been enjoying my Data Analytics course thus far. I’m about halfway through, and everything has been laid out in a way that’s easy to digest, as well as informative. My tutor and mentor are awesome and it’s nice having them so readily available all the time for when I need help! I feel like I’m already obtaining a pretty good grasp on what my new career will look like, and am sure by the end I’ll be feeling ready and confident to nail that first job in my new field.

    Challenging and Rewarding

    My experience at CareerFoundry has been both rewarding and challenging. This is expected as I have to juggle my busy work schedule, family, and other responsibilities with studying. I discovered I end up spending more time on reading and solving the tasks than I had expected. Though I am running two months behind schedule, I hope the effort and hard work I have committed to this will pay off in a good data-related job. I sincerely believe if I were to undertake this boot camp on a full-t...

    A truly enjoyable educative experience

    I have always wanted to learn programming but many courses I came across online are not really designed for in-depth learning. CareerFoundry offers a structured way of learning, exposing you to deeper topics as you go. Whenever I run into any obstacles, I have the help of my tutor, mentor and responsive student advisors who are always encouraging and willing to help.

    Incredible support network

    I've found my experience extremely rewarding at careerfoundry. There's so much support from other students, to your personal course tutor and mentor that stays with you throughout the course. It's an excellent learning environment especially for the self-motivated but, they give you tools to help keep you on track even if you're not self-motivated.

    An education with heart

    I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with CareerFoundry. The courses are easily digestible and the assignments called "tasks" give you true UX design experience that gives you a fantastic portfolio to show off. I have never had a problem getting the help I needed, whether from my mentor, tutor, or student advisors. I can't recommend it enough!
