Here at CareerFoundry, the question people ask us most often is; \u201cAm I smart enough to become a web developer, designer, or data analyst?\u201d\u00a0<\/strong> and\u00a0“Will I actually be able to get a job in tech?”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The futurist Arthur C. Clarke\u2014who had a knack for formulating uncannily accurate predictions of where technological developments would take us, and when we\u2019d get there\u2014echoed this sentiment when he asserted, rather beautifully:<\/p>\n

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.<\/strong>\u00a0(Arthur C. Clarke, 1973)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For the majority of us, sitting at our laptop or gazing at our smartphone, this is exactly what we have in front of us at this very moment: magic. Our innate, human drive to understand the motor beneath the hood can be easily put off by the apparent enormity of the task. It\u2019s a lethal cocktail of helplessness and hopelessness. The towel is thrown in already. We give up.<\/p>\n

This is where CareerFoundry steps in. Tech skills are currently in massive demand, and will remain so for many, many years to come.<\/strong> We decided to give hope where there was none, and help where it\u2019s needed.<\/p>\n

By combining technology and real human beings, we\u2019ve developed courses which take you from complete beginner to job-ready in as little as six months<\/strong>, and send you off on a path to greater freedoms and higher earnings. We take students from all walks of life, some with previous experience in their desired field, others with none at all, and we boast an excellent success rate*. We\u2019re so confident, we even guarantee that you\u2019ll find a job<\/strong> on completion of your course. Here\u2019s how we do it.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Learn whenever and wherever you want.<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Our real human beings are real industry experts.<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Our courses are designed specifically to get you prepared for your next job.<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. When you\u2019re ready, we\u2019ll get you a job in tech. Guaranteed.<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. We\u2019re constantly innovating to ensure that we, and you, remain at the very forefront of tech.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    1. Learn whenever and wherever you want.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Let\u2019s get this one out the way.<\/p>\n

    This is the not-so-bold claim of virtually every online company: The marketing blurb inevitably focuses on access and convenience<\/strong>\u2014you can do everything on the go, from wherever you want, and whenever you want.<\/p>\n

    Book accommodation, manage bank accounts, read the news, watch movies\u2026 Of course, the reality is that we still do most of these things at home on the sofa, just on smaller screens.<\/p>\n

    So yes, with CareerFoundry you can learn wherever and whenever you want. You can fit your studies in and around your day job and take steps toward changing your career while literally taking steps towards the subway on a Monday morning, or you can quit your job, knuckle down, hole up in a hipster hovel for a few months with your MacBook Air and come out the other side a certified pro who can almost pick their job in tech.<\/p>\n

    And you won\u2019t be alone: CareerFoundry boasts a community of thousands of people who, just like you, are changing their career for the better, as well as a world-class network of committed, engaged mentors.<\/strong>\u00a0Now, here\u2019s some more about them\u2026<\/p>\n

    2. Our real human beings are real industry experts.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    The advent of web-based learning has brought about a huge drive towards self-study. The resounding success of companies like Khan Academy and Duolingo\u2014and even Wikipedia\u2014is a heart-warming affirmation of humanity\u2019s thirst for learning, as well as our hunger to share our knowledge once we\u2019ve learned it.<\/p>\n

    However, anyone who\u2019s ever got caught in a YouTube or Wikipedia rabbit hole will know how evolutionarily unprepared our basic human curiosity is for these websites. You start watching an enthralling talk on the science of happiness and end up watching Sir Patrick Moore talking about xylophones, and three hours have passed.<\/p>\n

    CareerFoundry ensures this doesn\u2019t happen to you by coupling you up with a Mentor at the very beginning of your course. Our Mentors are industry experts with at least five years experience in the field. They constitute your VIP-access to your new industry and afford you a direct line to the tech\u2019s top tier.<\/strong> They\u2019ll guide you through your course, help structure your learning, evaluate your work, and generally make sure you aren\u2019t getting lost down any rabbit holes.<\/p>\n

    This careful balance of web-based, autonomous learning and expert mentoring sets us apart in the world of edtech, where the developer\u2019s ideological drive toward complete automation dehumanises the learner\u2019s experience. This ignores the extraordinarily strong impact of socialisation<\/strong> on your motivation. A simple \u201cwell done\u201d from a Mentor is infinitely more effective than the reward of virtual blueberries, or hearts, or a thumbs-up, on completion of an exercise.\u00a0Your Mentor affords you direction and expertise, but also feeds your motivation, desire, and commitment to succeed at being ready for a job in tech.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    3. Our courses are designed specifically to get you prepared for your next job.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Web-based products give another advantage over their paperback predecessors\u2014everything can be updated as soon as it\u2019s outdated.<\/p>\n

    The world of tech moves fast, and a good designer or developer will stay abreast of the latest trends and technologies. In fact, they\u2019ll revel in doing so. Our team of Instructional Designers work with industry experts to construct and maintain courses, ensuring absolute relevance and applicability to their field.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The courses are frequently reviewed by representatives from partner companies\u2014the kind of companies (Amazon, Invision, Apple\u2026 ) where you might well be applying in the near future\u2014to make sure that they\u2019re completely watertight.<\/p>\n

    So you can be confident you\u2019re learning the right stuff, but how can you be confident that you\u2019ll get a job in tech at the end of it all?<\/strong> Well, our Instructional Designers develop the courses within the rubric of project-based learning. Critically, this approach affords you the opportunity to implement what you have learned in a practical, hands-on task at the end of each section.<\/p>\n

    These tasks, once refined with the help of your Mentor, contribute to your final portfolio, which will in turn be one of the cornerstones of your next job application. And just in case that\u2019s not enough, we also provide extensive Career Services to help you build a career you love. Which brings me neatly to\u2026<\/p>\n

    4. When you\u2019re ready, we\u2019ll get you a job in tech. Guaranteed.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    All our mentored courses come with a job guarantee<\/a>. We\u2019re so confident that we\u2019ll get you the job in tech you want, we\u2019ll give you your money back if we don\u2019t. 95% of our students get a job within 180 days of course completion, and our alumni network now contains representatives from huge, multinational behemoths like Apple, the BBC and PayPal to next generation startups like Contentful<\/a> and Brandnooz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    And to what do we owe this success? Well, to the students themselves, of course, and to the Mentors, the Instructional Designers, and, last but certainly not least, the Careers Services Team<\/strong>. When you\u2019re three-quarters of the way through the course, our Tech Career Specialists step in to offer up resume advice, placement guidance and interview preparation. They\u2019ll even help you give that long-neglected LinkedIn profile of yours a refresh.<\/p>\n

    5. We\u2019re constantly innovating to ensure that we, and you, remain at the very forefront of tech.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    CareerFoundry doesn\u2019t only cater to those looking for a career change. Once qualified in your new field, we also offer some truly unique, innovative courses to help further develop your knowledge and skills as a developer or designer.<\/p>\n

    Take our Voice User Interface Design<\/a> course, for example. We collaborated with Amazon, a true pioneer in the burgeoning field of voice design<\/a>, to ensure we cover all the most industry-relevant skills for future Voice Interface Designers \u2013 surely one of the coolest, most contemporary responses to the age-old dinner-party question: \u201cAnd what do you do?\u201d<\/p>\n

    Once completed, you will have designed a complete voice experience for Amazon Alexa, and you\u2019ll be on the cusp of shaping how people interact with next generation tech. Welcome to the future. Join us!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
