    Just what I wanted!

    CareerFoundry has exceeded my expectations. It has made learning technical skills easier than I anticipated and I enjoy the mentor aspect a lot. I do wish there were videos sometimes about the curriculum, instead of always just readings.

    CareerFoundry's UX Design course

    I've just completed a 10-month part-time UX Design course with CareerFoundry and although it's been tough at times, all in all it's been a great learning experience and I'm glad I went through with it! The course itself is well-structured and quite hands-on. It's made up of smaller reading tasks which you have to directly put to practice in an exercise. I found this very engaging and it kept me learning and thinking about UX even when I wasn't working on the course material.

    Transitioning from the visual arts to UX Design

    I'm halfway through my UX Design course, and I highly recommend it. I have learned a lot so far, and I am becoming more and more comfortable with the methodology that's required in UX Design. The tutor and instructor I work with are wonderful, and I really appreciate having regular video calls with someone that has a senior role in the field. The curriculum is clear, and you learn by doing, which is the best method for me.

    I was very positively surprised when I started the course. The level is quite high, and I continue to be amazed by how good the course is. It’s structure is very effective, easy to understand and follow, and still full of detail and knowledge!

In practice, I have learned how to make a digital prototype of an app idea, what the process is, what tools to use in order to make it, how to organize it and save time and ask for & receive feedback.

    UX Design Course - Great!

    This course has been very challenging from the beginning. The best thing is the tutors and my mentor who is always there and encourages me to go further.

    What I like the most is that it has a lot of additional information, videos and clear and organized information. 

    I recommend this school if you are looking for something practical and really to the point.

    UI Design

    I'm about halfway through the UI Design Course and really enjoying it so far. The course is completely online so you are able to create your own schedule, although the program is quite intense so you need to put in a lot of hours. I would definitely recommend it to someone who already has a background in design and experience with software programs. The program is really well laid out and easy to follow, also for people with no previous knowledge in design.

    The course is perfectly tailored for a deep understanding of the subject. The concept of learning through practice helps students to experience the practical problems. There are plenty of resources to master the concepts. Best feedback and guide are offered. Syllabus matches the needs of the industry. I am happy to be at CarrerFoundry.
