    Just what I was looking for!

    I’m about halfway through my studies and I’m already feeling more confident about my career shift. I’m totally new to Data Analytics, but the pacing and layout of CareerFoundry’s modules have helped me to stay organized and motivated to stay on track. Their tutors, mentors, and student community are indispensable resources—I feel connected to a wider community than I imagined I would be through virtual learning.

    Well structured, with good individual support

    I love how well-structured the course is. Explaining creative ideation processes is not easy, but Career Foundry manages to cut all that in digestible pieces. I learned a lot the last weeks, but never felt totally overwhelmed. It really helps to have a tutor and a mentor, giving good advice and answering questions. That said, I won't deny that it's a lot of new stuff to learn. I sometimes struggle with the time constraints. But it's a boot camp after all, so You'll expect your brain to b...

    UX Design Immersion

    First thing you should know, this class is self-paced and does not teach in depth hard skills such as Figma, Adobe XD, etc. That being said, right away my mentor had me start practicing Figma skills and reading some supplementary books and other resources. I think my mentor is great and is very supportive and helpful. It is up to you to schedule your calls with the mentor so keep that in mind. I feel like the skills I am learning are building on each other very well and I would definitel...

    Organized and Supportive Program

    I have been on the UX/UI curriculum since September 2021 and have to say CareerFoundry has a very organized and supportive program. I’m a career changer and really appreciate the support of my mentor and tutor throughout this time. I find the tasks easy to understand and not overwhelming so a person who is new to the industry can still feel successful, although there are times I feel that certain tasks and learning require more time than they suggest.

    CareerFoundry UX designer course

    I am halfway into the UX course and loving the experience so far. The course itself is very fast paced and condensed in useful information, but at the same time well explained, specially for a person who is new in this field. The structure with help from the tutor and mentor is amazing, they are always willing to help, their feedback on each of my exercises submitted have always been timely, and encouragingl. I couldn’t be happier with my experience so far.

    If you want to change your career and are looking for a course to take, check the CareerFoundry courses. A mentor and tutor motivate you to complete your program, and you can ask them any questions. You can also book an online meeting to discuss your progress. I recommend CareerFoundry as a career changer.

    Real success

    Career Foundry has been unbelievable. In every way. 
    The support I received, the empathy and understanding I received from the entire team made the course achievable and enjoyable. 

    The ux design course covers everything and I am 100% certain that as a career changer moving from a completely different and unrelated field of hospitality Career Foundry has given me the tools I need to start a new life and new career. 

    Bravo.
