    Well-developed course with great support system

    I'm learning a lot through the course and my interactions with my tutor and mentor have been outstanding. Scheduling meetings have been challenging at times, but the feedback provided is always useful, insightful, and positive. I appreciate that the program pairs me with a tutor and a mentor for extra support. The course material is very well-developed and the assignments are well-designed to reinforce the course material. I appreciate the fact that my mentor pushes me in my assignments. A...

    Excellent so far

    I am about 1/3 of the way through my CareerFoundry bootcamp and so far it has been fantastic! The curriculum and platform work exceptionally well for me, the tutors and mentors I have been paired with have been supportive and helpful, and I am looking forward to the job preparation part of the course towards the end of the bootcamp. No complaints so far, and I just hope I'm singing the same song at the end of the course.

    Great!!

    Their service is great. And the help of tutors, mentors, and student advisors is very helpful. The lessons provide tons of resources, same as their blog and their youtube channel, I personally not having any experience with this profession at all, which is very helpful. Everything is well-guided.

    Good Mentors, Challenging but Quality Course Structure

    I'm about 1/3 of the way through the career foundry program and am enjoying it so far.

The course structure has an incredible amount of information and provides many links to virtually all the topics covered. They have bonus tasks if you want to go above and beyond, a mentor you can set up meetings with to discuss your passions in coding and a tutor that will guide you every ste...

    Top class UI course

    I’m half way through Career Foundry’s UI design course and I’m loving it! The tutorials are excellent, support is always on hand and I’m going to leave this with loads of know how and a great portfolio. An investment but totally worth it in my opinion.

    Career Foundry Data Analytics

    Best Detailed boot camp experience for Data Analytics. The concept of tutor and Mentor is very good and it adds to the value of a bootcamp experience. 
    The tasks and exercises involved in the course are very detailed and helps in understanding the Data Analysis concepts in good depth. Students or Candidate with minimum Analytics background or Experience would learn a lot from this bootcamp.

    Careerfoundry Bootcamp Data Analytics Review

    This program was the best decision I could have ever made for choosing data analytics. The program is very independent while still getting the help you need from a tutor and mentor as part of your team. I would highly recommend the program for those seeking a data analytics training program

    Exceeds expectations

    I’ve been totally pleased with my experience at CareerFoundry. The curriculum is super clear and my tutor and mentor are responsive and GREAT instructors. It’s the best educational experience I’ve had yet (and I went to Princeton). My favorite thing about it is that I am challenged and am definitely mastering the material but I am not stressed because there are no exams.
