CareerFoundry is an online bootcamp that offers flexibly paced programs for career changers in web development, UX design, UI design, product design, data analytics, digital marketing, and product management. Headquartered in Berlin but with a global student base, CareerFoundry has provided tech education since 2013.
CareerFoundry combines the flexibility of online learning with the guidance of mentors and tutors through their dual mentorship model, training students to become job-ready in four to 12 months, or their money back.
No previous experience is required to apply for the programs. Students should have access to a computer and an internet connection, and an interest in the topic they are planning to study. Students apply via the CareerFoundry website by connecting with an advisor who can talk through their options. Students will need to pay a deposit to secure their place, then complete the required pre-work before the program commences.
I have really enjoyed my overall experience with CF. Everyone I have met so far have been super friendly and helpful, from their support staffs to expert tutors. The curriculum (in terms of explaining concepts and assignments seem) to be a little unclear at times and that’s natural since it is a self study program. Though their staff and other students are generally willing to offer help and advice as long as you are willing to reach out.
I've started the UX design course with Career Foudry on 24 of June.
The courses are easy to follow, to understand and they're really entertaining. You have links to other sources and videos from UX experts with clarifications on the course. At the end of every course there is a task and you need to submit 3 task per week. You are assigned a tutor and a mentor and the tasks are always corrected by the end oof the day when you submitted them, or the day after. My tutor always gave ...

You are assigned a tutor and a mentor and the tasks are always corrected by the end oof the day when you submitted them, or the day after. My tutor always gave me really clear, detailed and helpful feedbacks and I am thankful to her.
Also on the course platform, you feel like in a real community.
Overall, so far I have a good experience and I would clearly recommend the school!
I was kind of stuck in the moment of my life where I was trying to figure out what can I do to feel fulfilled and happy with my carrier. I've heard about UX and it interested me since the beginning! But... "I have to get some experience and education, how I am gonna do it ?" I thought. Then I found out this amazing online course!

Skype calls with my mentor are always very interesting, inspiring and eye-opening! There is nothing more valuable than learning from someone with huge luggage of experience!
I am definitely recommending Career Foundry UX Designer course. This experience can definitely change your life and help you gain the confidence to start your new career!
I am halfway through my UI Design course now. I feel like I learned quite a bit about UI Deisgn so far. I am studying fulltime and feel like the flexibility of online learning really suits my lifestyle. Its not only preparing me to be a UI designer but also to work as a freelancer. The course is really well structured and you learn a lot about the processes iof designing an app within each module.

I'm taking the Full-stack Web Development program and I've been very impressed with the quality of instruction and support at CareerFoundry. I am learning so much that my head is spinning, but I know that I am gaining the skills that will help me get a great job!
I started with the UX Design Course at the end of may and just finished the Fundamentals Course - I love the system. I can work in my own pace, I can add details if I want and there is enough time, there are bonus tasks for those who are very ambitous and you always get great support from Tutor and Mentor mixed up with several tips for further lecture.
Can only recommend it and am looking forward to dive into the Immersion Course next week!
After doing a lot of research on UX boot camps I settled on Career Foundry for the price and because I could complete the course at my own pace. My tutor and mentor have been very helpful and supportive through my learning and I feel like I’m getting a very hands-on approach to all aspects of the design process. Would recommend!
Don't hesitate to enroll! It's the BEST decision you can make and the best online UI program out there on the web. Several companies group UX and UI as the same thing and raise the price for their academies and instruction. When you complete the UI course along with the Job Training you are offered a money back guarantee if you do not obtain a job or get a certain number of free lance hours.

Don't hesitate to enroll! It's the BEST decision you can make and the best online UI program out there on the web.

When you complete the UI course along with the Job Training you are offered a money back guarantee if you do not obtain a job or get a certain number of free lance hours. Career Foundry makes sure your online presence, LinkedIn, Portfilio, and Resume are the best they can be. They guide you through practice interviews and sample questions. I took a course on DesignLab and General Assembly and the help factor was not as complete and organized as CF. You have advisors, tutors, and mentors that faciliate your journey through the course. General Assembly costs much more as well and you get much less. Seriously sign up with CF and take the challenge to build your career to greater heights.
I did the UI Design course with CareerFoundry in 2019 and since then I'm working as a freelance UI Designer. I have a graphic design background which helped me to move forward faster. The contents are demanding but so well structured and guided that I had no trouble at all. The focus is on learning technical aspects as well of designing 4-5 different apps, with the goal to built a strong portfolio to get hired.

I did the UI Design course with CareerFoundry in 2019 and since then I'm working as a freelance UI Designer. I have a graphic design background which helped me to move forward faster. The contents are demanding but so well structured and guided that I had no trouble at all. The focus is on learning technical aspects as well of designing 4-5 different apps, with the goal to built a strong portfolio to get hired. You could learn all the content for free, but personally I struggle to do self-directed study so I needed a course. With this online school you get mentor & tutor support which includes one to one calls with your mentor. That helps a lot because it feels like having a personal design coach, who gives you answers to your questions and reviews your designs.
I earned the price of this course back in no time, because the salaries as a UI Designer are really interesting and nowadays it’s a demanding profession. To get this technical knowledge for your new job makes you feel more comfortable and relaxed than without having spend some intense time learning UI Design.
I live in Barcelona and I know that companies are hiring graduated students from CareerFoundry. I can imagine the same happens in other cities.
An other positive thing is that CareerFoundry offers the job guarantee course. I had the chance to meet my career advisor in person because we lived in the same city, and he gives me tailored guidance for my future path. He helped me to write cover letters and the CV, shows interview techniques and gave me a lot of tips. Paying for a career advisor cost lot of money, and here it's included! Personally, I didn’t get the first UI job from there because it’s focussed on being hired by a company and I was already freelancing, but I know from other peers about success stories.
If there is a negative aspect it’s only that I wished a few more video tutorials than all the readings. BUT the practical side balance this point, because as a student you are asked to deliver designs in form of a task after each reading. Aprox. 75% of the time you’re designing and then receiving feedback from a tutor and mentor. For me this practical side was super helpful because I’m not such a good student ;)
You will create 4-5 apps during the UI Design course which you should include in your portfolio. To have a complete and attractive portfolio is one of the most important aspects while applying for a new job.

CareerFoundry has impressed me with their ability to transcend the digital divide with general human care. My regular encounters with mentor, tutor, career specialist are all stellar and SO helpful. What really impressed me is the speedy and responsive feedback from the curriculum team anytime I’ve brought up an issue. I do miss being around other creatives in person but I have no doubts my education with CF will lead to my quick hiring on a great team.
