    Full-Stack Web Development

    I have completed half of the course and I am not satisfied. Although the subject is difficult and requires a lot of study, I feel that through YouTube tutorials I am able to understand better. It is a lot of money that one invests in the program to be constantly requiring external sources to understand the subject matter. I don't think that at the end of this program I will be prepared to find a job with the skills I have gained. At least from my personal experience, this is not the best...

    A great Full Stack Web Dev course!

    CareerFoundry's Full Stack Web Dev course is well thought-out and walks you through understanding and utilizing some of the popular and in-demand technologies. The lessons do need to be updated a slight bit to adjust to the changes in more recent updates to said technologies, but they give you a good feel for each of them regardless. But what I appreciate the most is the amount of support you get from the mentor and tutor they assign to you. If you get stuck, you can always reach out to ...

    UX Design Program - Full time Student

    I'm really into the UX Design Course. It's easy to follow, so you can build up your skills along the way. Whenever I have a question, my tutor and mentor is always there to answer. The mentor is very helpful if you ask questions related to real life experience. On the other hand, tutor only answer questions related to the curriculum. When you study at CF, you are able to join the Slack community. The community is very active, so even when you study by yourself you don't feel lonely. Howe...
