    So far so good (:

    As the title reads, so far so good! I enjoy each exercise, even when I’m a little stressed! I feel challenged in a healthy way and I’m learning so much. 
    My Tutor/Mentor are great and everyone is super friendly and the responses are fast and helpful. 
    I would only update the Sketch “explanations” considering that they belong to an older version. And maybe update few articles that are a bit old 

    For the rest I’m loving it, vibing m, learning and I can’t wait to learn more and...

    UX Design Program: Practical + Amazing Mentorship

    I am part way through the UX Design Program with CareerFoundry. The structure of the course is great. In the first month, you do an "Intro to UX Design": a top-level exploration of everything you're going to learn in the course. You get to develop user interviews, user personas, build wireframes, interactive prototypes, testing etc. But it's not until the immersion part of the course that you dig deeper into each area, and consolidate your learning. This program presents all information ...

    UX Immersion review

    CareerFoundry was my choice for a career change. Due to Covid-19, my professional occupancy was no longer viable and the time came to take a leap.
    Never I felt lack of support either from the Students Advisors, and specially from my Tutor and my Mentor. I finished my course 5 months ahead of time, which allowed me to find a job sooner than expected. 
    The curriculum is broad and covers very deeply all the aspects of UX. I would just introduce a few lessons about UI, specifically sof...

    UI Design - ex student

    I enrolled in the UI Design course of Careerfoundry on December 2019 and I finished up the Bootcamp in December 2020, while working full-time. 
    In the beginning, I was afraid not to be good enough because I have never studied design before the course, and I didn't have any experience in the field, but as soon as I joined the Bootcamp I met many people all over the world like me, and I received all the support I needed from my tutor, my mentor and my career coach, too.

    CareerFoundry is a phenomenal bootcamp that got me hired before I finished the program.  I came into the program with some previous education and some volunteer experience.  I learned far more in my time with CF than I had in years of self-study.  Having a clear, concise, and well thought out curriculum made all the difference.  In addition the CF slack community helped me make great connections and relationships.  I was hired through their slack community job board around halfway into t...

    UI Design program

    I had a great experience with CareerFoundry. The online lessons were easy to follow, yet very informational and relevant. They assign you a tutor and a mentor, which I found to be very helpful to bridge the gap of online learning. I learned so much more than I would have on my own. I also elected to do the career prep course which they offered at no additional cost- this I found to be beneficial in building my portfolio, resume, and confidence in starting my new career.

    The course with careerfoundry is outstanding, everything needed to prepare for being a UX designer is covered. There is very valuable feedback provided throughout from both a tutor & a mentor. Although it is possible to work at the pace most suitable, there is a great progress bar alongside time passed on the course, to ensure you never fall behind. I have really enjoyed working on the projects so far, and I will be very prepared, with a polished portfolio by the end of this course.<...

    UX Desinger

    I'm really learning a lot with the UX course. Getting out of my comfort zone is not easy. I'm 27 years IT person and changing the direction of my professional life is not only a challenge but it's a necessity for me because I see my area struggling because of the same ideas for so long. UX is a new, refreshing, and very appealing area that I'm investing time and money and I believe it's worth it.
