CareerFoundry レビュー 197

This is a perfect course for everybody having 0 knowledge but a lot of motivation to get started in the UX field. The course gives a lot of insights and knowledge and project-based learning lets you "get your hands dirty" and learn by doing and getting a first taste of the actual work and having an industry expert as a mentor to guide you through.

From the onboarding, I have to say that everything made sense, and they sent you material before and were able to sign up to learn more about each specific study field. I studied five months prior, but I had no structure and low confidence levels when I taught.

It would be tough to pull this off, especially with no help or direction in my portfolio. I think CareerFoundry has an excellent structure for self-paced learners who thrive on being self-accountable and dependable. Because you are in an online cohort and not in person, it is super important to build that relationship with your tutor/tutors. I had Bryce and Vijit, and they always give good feedback and send links to relevant material. Besides that, my mentor Oz is very personable and has a remarkable ability to break down problems or questions for me, and his video feedback is priceless.

Lastly, I have just recently started working with my Career Specialist Cheron, and she is excellent and has an insightful view on why I want to pursue specific opportunities. I would say you get what you put into the program.

This course begins with a 4 week intro course as an intro to analytics, then dives into a 55-task immersion course. I am closing in on the halfway mark, and have been very impressed so far. The lessons are broken into manageable pieces and I feel very competent in each subject once I finish a section. I am nearing the end of the Tableau work (10 exercises) and I feel confident I could make a Tableau dashboard in a professional environment. My mentor and tutor provided have also been great and been readily available for any questions, whether that be the course material or the industry of data analytics itself. Overall, I was very nervous to do a bootcamp as it is completely uncharted territory for me and CareerFoundry has made me confident in my decision.

CF is extremely unprofessional in the payment issues, I cannot say about the contents because they gave me troubles even before having my first class. They are not serious, really. I haven't started the course yet and for their "mistake" I already paid 1420 euros without even having started the course. I relied on their word that they had fixed my payment schedule, while today they charged me again automatically, as if I had started already the course last September, while it's not. Remember: if you have an issue, they will be your worst nightmare. That's a pity, I was really excited to start. For sure there are much more serious and professional schools out there. Be careful how to spend your money, career changers.

Don't waste your time If you want to do UX/UI Design course here. CF Doesn't have any connections with any companies. If you want to do internships this certification is not at all eligible. Please start your career in a university or any other highly recognised education centre. All the best

It is certainly one of the best online schools that I have worked with. Great material and good organisation to work with.

Mo,

Programm ist inhaltlich ok, alles halt sehr oberflächlich, vieles unbrauchbar, aber der kursaufbau gut.
Bei der Umsetzung, naja in meinem Fall eine tutorin, die selbst gerade in Ausbildung, teilweise selbst kein Wissen der zu nutzenden tools und Aufgaben.
Der Mentor hat seine Bestimmung komplett verfehlt. Seine Aufgabe wäre es, Studenten mental auf das Berufsleben vorzubereiten, er demotivierte, machte mich klein und zeigte mir lediglich, dass ich nicht gut bin in dem was ich tue, das tat er aber sehr ausdauernd. Er ist selbst erst 5 Monate in dem Beruf tätig und ist seit dem Abschluss bei CF eben mentor dort.
Der Karrierespezialist, auch keine Erfahrung in der Branche, gab sich große Mühe aber wusste auch nicht wirklich, worüber wir reden sollten oder wo er mich hinführen sollte. Er war auch nicht motiviert, sich mal von sich aus bei mir zu melden, einfach mal fragen wie es mir geht nach 20, 30, 50, 70 Absagen.... generell gibt CF IMMER dem Studenten die Schuld. Es liegt am Lebenslauf, am portfolio, an der Motivation, an den Farben, der Ästhetik, der Zahl der Bewerbungen, Kritikfähigkeit, Formulierungen, Nase, whatever, Schuld ist der Student. Wenn er keinen job kriegt, macht er was falsch.

CF vermittelt auch keine Jobs, die haben keine Kontakte in die Industrie. Null.
Der Abschluss ist in der Industrie nicht sonderlich anerkannt, "so ne Maßnahme vom Amt halt"...

Da macht es keinen Unterschied, da kann sich der absolvent auf den Kopf stellen, einen job kriegt er jedenfalls nicht. Ausgeschlossen. Außer natürlich man hat schon Erfahrung als Grafikdesigner, o. Ä., diese Leute werden einem immer als "Maßstab unter die Nase gehalten.

Alles in allem, ich würde es kein zweites mal machen. Ich bin inzwischen nach 100 Bewerbungen überzeugt, das ist kein erstrebenswerter Beruf, was man so hört, sind UX designer nach kürzester Zeit ausgelaugt...

Great school! Great program with a mix of tasks, reads and a Mentor!

High quality content.
