    UI design

    Career Foundry is one of the few best online education platforms. Last  year I started UI design course and found it amazing. The course structure is logical, materials are easy to read and interesting, the studying process is productive and informative. You are simply getting new education at home. Separate attention deserves CareerFoundry's team. Student's advisors, mentors and tutors are really caring about your comfort and success. After all I find this platform very cool and promisi...

    Helpful and gets networking started

    I was recommended to CareerFoundry when I mentioned to a friend of mine that I wanted to change careers. Her friend had done this program, and after doing some research, I found this program to have the best qualities that I was looking for. 

    I haven't completed the course yet, but I have been able to work with an industry professional (who I look up to greatly). She has been incredibly helpful in solidifying my designs as well as encouraging me to strive to create higher quality ...

    User Interface

    I love my CF course! It is so self guided and truly flexible to go along with anyone’s lifestyle. As someone who struggles with self-motivation, this course is actually fun and it makes it easier to do the work for it! When I did start to fall behind, the team reached out to make sure I was okay and asked if there was anything they could do to help me. They are so kind and caring, I appreciated their approach so much. Can’t recommend CF enough!

    UI Design

    The curriculum seems to be great so far. I had an awesome tutor in the beginning and I just lost her since she became too busy with her day job. The new tutor is not working out. I'm in a process to change her to someone better suited for me, but it's taking a long time to communicate with Advisors, which is frustrating. Meanwhile, I still have a great Mentor who is helping me to learn. Job Assistance and Job Guarantee are the best selling points to this course, although I haven't got to...

    Full-stack web development course

    I did not know what to expect when I signed up for this course given its wide subject-matter spectrum. 

    From the onset, I was impressed at how well organized the course material was, how relevant the exercises were, and how I -depth each subject matter was.

    The help and support I got from my tutor and mentor was unprecedented.
    Response was always fast, and support extremely helpful.

    My experience with Career Foundry has been fulfilling

    Deciding to study a new career is always exciting and intimidating. I am part of the UI design program with Career Foundry for 3 months so far, and the experience has been fulfilling. The concepts and content are well explained, specially for a person who is new in this field. The help and guidance that I receive from my tutor and mentor are professional and honest.

    UX Design Course

    The CareerFoundry UX Desgin course is an amazing course thus far! I am 4 months into the course and I have learned so much about UX Design already. This course has made me feel very confident in my knowledge and skill. They provide you with a tutor who usually responds within 24 hours and a very helpful mentor who will tell you the truth and reassure that you are on the right track. This course has given me an immense amount of direction and I'm really glad I chose CareerFoundry!
