"CareerFoundry's UX Design Course"
I honestly wish that I found this CF earlier! I have looked at several other UX programs and am very happy that I chose CareerFoundry. I am learning the things I need to learn to become a UX Designer and feel very confident about this program and my mentor.... Read More
I feel that CareerFoundry is giving me the knowledge to get a really good head start into a UX career. The staff is great and they have a student forum to ask for help if needed. I would highly recommend this program if you are interested in becoming a UX Designer. They also have a Web Development Program which also looks just as challenging. I am a few months into my program and enjoying all the work that I'm doing so far and look forward to building up a nice portfolio of work.
I signed up for the 6 month timeframe since I didn't want to rush through it. Each assignment will take anywhere from 4 - 8 hours. If you are serious about learning UX, then this is the program to be in!

"Great and helpful."
I already knew some html and css before starting the course with Carrerfoundry but I found it really useful because, still, there were things I didn't know or haven't practiced much. The really tough part was the advanced Ruby on rails. It was great having... Read More

"Great school! Awesome community! Nice people! Perfect for anyone, who wants to learn web development ( BUT not for people who are mainly interested in JS, HTML5)"
I recently finished my Web Development course at Career Foundry.
First of all: I can really recommend Career Foundry to anyone, who wants to learn about coding and stay motivated.
The course material is clearly structured and the length of each lesson... Read More
I can recommend this online course to anyone, who wants to learn about web development in general. For that money you get the best possible education out there and a great support from a great community!
However, if you would like to learn about JavaScript or new HTML5 element, like Canvas, I would recommend looking for something else. Because that's really not covered at CF (for now - I have to mention, that they are continuously updating their course material. During my three months, I experienced three major updates, including them adding a full new section of material)

"A phenomenal way to gain knowledge and train in a new field"
I have just completed the UIUX Design course with Career Foundry after 4 months of 3 - 8 hour days of study & assignments.
The course material was exceptional and outlined every aspect and component of what it is to be a UX designer. Having this wide range... Read More
Having a mentor through this course was an incredibly assuring and necessary tool. My mentor was always quick to respond to my every inquiry, to clarify questions or assignments or let me discuss with her the working world in her profession and what I could expect for myself. Having a mentor to discuss the course with is what makes this company unsurpassed to standard correspondence courses.
The staff and advisors with Career Foundry were always eager to help also. Particularly the student advisor who answered any of my general questions about the course before I signed up and all the way through as I had concerns with some of the small 'bugs' with the new interface integration on the site.
I could not recommend this company or this course enough. I look forward to taking the Web Development program in the near future!

"Starting my career in Web Development via CareerFoundry's course"
I recently completed a course in Web Development and I am overall very satisfied with my experience as a student.

Being myself based in Berlin, like the CareerFoundry company, I can say that I have enjoyed the perks of attending monthly meetups where I got to meet other students, mentors and the team behind CareerFoundry itself. Moreover, said team has been quite supportive after the completion of the course offering guidance during my job application process.
Overall, I was very satisfied not just from the content of the course, but also from the people offering it.

"My best choice!"
The content of the course is in general very easy to assimilate, but if I got confused at one issue, the mentor quickly made it clear to me. Additionally I have that weekly hour on Skype where I have got a more extensive feedback.
It is been a perfect... Read More

"Awesome course, creating the environment you need to start develop"
I'm currently halfway through CareerFoundry's 3 month course in Web Development and it's been a great experience so far. The course offers a good mixture of lessons, assignments and mentor discussions that takes you through all fundamental parts of web... Read More
The special thing about CareerFoundry are the mentors and the help they give you throughout the course. As soon as you get stuck they will help you out, which means that you, instead of getting stuck at an issue forever (which I've experienced many times before), can progress and continue learning and develop your skills. The weekly discussions over Skype also help giving you a more comprehensive understanding of what you've learnt over the week, as you can discuss everything that you've had a hard time getting your head around. I've also found that the attention you get from your mentor is good for the motivation, which is another important component when you set out to learn basic web development in 3 months :)
I would recommend CareerFoundry to anyone with the ambition to learn Web Development. Just make sure to schedule enough time for the course, as the topics sometimes get tricky and you want enough time to work on your site.
