I really enjoy the coursework and appreciate the support from the tutor.

my experience was so bad the company just make me waste my time an money the tutor and mentor you just hear from then just 1 time a week, even it can happen the you just don't heard at all from then avoid this company.

The course was very intuitive and a really deep dive into technical topic. The team of mentors and tutors was always present and ready to assist you during the process.

I will not give five stars only because some of the content was slightly outdated but other than that, awesome experience

Great experience, tutor and mentor super helpful and always responding on time.

So far I had a really great experience. I'm a few month in and from the prep- to the course-stage, the team is really supportive and encouraging. I love the practical approach via projects. The depth of each chapter is a good compromise and they always give you sources / links to dive deeper if you like to.

The Product Manager course is really well structured and I’ve been enjoying it so far. It can be quite overwhelming while changing careers but I feel guided and having a real mentor to lead me is a great addition!

Went through the Digital Marketing course in 2023 and while the costs were covered by the German government, it was ultimately fully a waste of time. I finished it, but it doesn't provide you with anything better than watching a youtube tutorial in the eyes of a potential employer. The field is highly competitive, and unless you can afford to work afterwords for free for years until you build an impressive enough portfolio, save your time and take a different route.

The job guarantee program is not honored. Check other comments regarding this and you'll see the same comments. They'll do anything and make any excuses so they can cancel it and not refund you. I regret ever spending my money on this program! What a waste of money!

I completed CareerFoundry’s UX program in March 2024, but despite applying to hundreds of positions since then, I have not gotten a single interview. Following the program, I sought feedback from an experienced design professional, only to discover that my portfolio was considered below industry standards—even though it had been approved by CareerFoundry mentors.

I also participated in their 6-month job guarantee program, but unfortunately, I still did not secure any interviews. When I requested a refund, I was informed that I was ineligible due to a lack of “proper documentation” and because I had not met with my mentor every two weeks. This was challenging to accomplish, as my mentor had personal issues that led to canceled calls, and my full-time job made rescheduling difficult. I was also told that I needed to check in with my mentor biweekly, but he would regularly not respond to me, or get back to me days later so what was the point of checking in this often.

Reflecting on the program, I feel that CareerFoundry’s job guarantee and strict policies seem designed to attract students rather than prepare them for success and realities in the design field. About two-thirds of the way through, I started noticing a lack of detailed instruction on essential design topics like accessibility, spacing, color, and typography. While these topics were mentioned in assignments, they were often too vague to apply effectively. I gained far more insight through my own research and guidance from industry professionals than from the program itself, leaving me feeling misled.

When I requested a phone call to discuss the refund, I was told CareerFoundry didn’t have enough staff for a conversation—a surprising response from a company centered on UX, where user insights should be a priority.

At this point, I am genuinely disappointed with my experience in this program. To anyone considering CareerFoundry’s UX program, I would advise looking elsewhere.

I'm taking a Data Analytics course at Career Foundry, and it's been a great experience. The curriculum is well-structured, and the instructors are supportive. I appreciate the hands-on approach and the encouraging community.

I started CareerFoundry's UX Design course a few months ago and found it to be a transformative experience. The curriculum is well-structured, covering all essential aspects of UX design through a balance of theory and practical projects. The mentorship model is exceptional, pairing each student with an experienced professional for invaluable feedback and guidance. The flexible online platform allows for self-paced learning, making it ideal for working professionals. The supportive community and comprehensive training make this course an outstanding choice for aspiring UX designers.

I have learned a lot in UI Design Course. Thanks to my Mentor and Tutor and the team for helping me out.

Keep helping people and shine :)

I’m very disappointed with CareerFoundry. I was misled about program requirements—specifically an additional “Specialization course” that was only mentioned after I enrolled. Not completing it means no certificate or Job Guarantee, which wasn’t made clear upfront. When I reached out for help, the response was dismissive and didn’t offer any real solution. I expected better support and transparency, but instead, I got vague explanations and shifting requirements. I wouldn’t recommend CareerFoundry based on this experience.

I love being able to have access to my tutor and mentor for any questions. I also made friends through the Slack group and it has made all the difference when we can be there for each other's progress.

This program taught me a lot. It taught me how to work in excel, SQL, Python, charts and graphics and many powerPoints. The only no so great thing is that it’s too much information personally for me and the information of each assignment can be condensed down, but other than that 10/10.

I looked at other courses and have found Career Foundry is best in value and support. I like that they offer mentorship and also tutors who are actively in the UX space to review work and provide real-life advice that will be valuable upon entry into the industry.

The support and feedback that is provided by CareerFoundry was amazing. There's not much interactions with other's in the cohort but the information and courses are well put together.

I am almost finished with my program at Career Foundry, and I couldn't be happier. They actually provide every bit of the support they claim they will and then some! The tutors and mentors are top-notch and very helpful. Overall, the curriculum is good but a few of the lessons need to be updated/reworded.
The Slack groups are also awesome and I've met so many people making a career change just like me and had great networking opportunities.

I'm 2 months into my Data Analytics course and I am learning so much. The lessons are well laid out and easy to follow. I especially enjoy getting the chance to discuss the learning objectives, the tools, and the industry with my mentor.

I am currently taking Data Analytics course from Careerfoundry. I am half way through the course and I must say they have really made the course interesting and easy to understand, particularly for someone like me who is coming from a totally different background(international relations) and has no experience in working with large set of data or even a little knowledge of coding. They have beautiful broken down the concepts in simple language, with pictures and videos, which helps me understand the topic really well. They also have a mentor and tutor assigned to you who will help you through this course. We can schedule a video call with mentor and can contact tutor through chat. The project assignments are interesting and I enjoyed making them. I am looking forward to complete this course and start my career as a data analyst.
