    UX Design

    More than what I learned about UX design, the 'meat' of this program relies on their career resources. They really guide you to transfer your skills and be prepared when you graduate to find a job.

    UX/UI Design Certification

    Great online course that teaches you everything you need to know going into the UX/UI Design field without having to apply to a university. They assign you mentors and tutors that you can talk to virtually and they are very helpful.

    Great flexible learning environment

    I really like how the whole learning platform is set up. I think you get a great insight into the job and process of a real project and the flexibility of the schedule is great. I would recommend CareerFoundry to everybody who is looking for a career change. However, I think that some of the tutors are not as skilled as I would expect them to be and their schedule might be too tight to get feedback in a reasonable amount of time. I think within 24 hours seems to be okay on paper, but if ...

    One of my best life choices!

    Coming from cultural projects management, UX design seems like a drastic change (and surely is one). It was very important for me to find the right bootcamp, a training that would give me time to ingest all this new knowledge and push me to stay on track and motivated. After comparing a variety of online courses, I opted for CareerFoundry. Why this choice? Well, first of all it had great reviews from former students on sites such as Course Report. And second of all, everyone I had the ch...

    Ux Design Course

    I am undertaking for around 6 months now the course offered from Career Foundry on Ux Design. The process of learning is very well structured, with high quality material to read through and practice upon. The unique and exciting part is that u get to practice through the development of your own projects throughout the course. A bit plus for me is the fact that u get also to interact with ur designated mentor and tutors. Both have been extremely helpful to me, very nice professionals and ...

    From zero to Designer

    As a trained dancer with no experience in Tech or Design, I did the leap and signed up for the UX course at CareerFoundry. I am astonished a how much I have learned in what little time. I was picked up where I was standing by mentors and tutors and the best thing: I can keep the power over my own time, so that I can train, work and study.

    UX Design Program

     I’m really glad I enrolled in the UX Design program. I came across UX Design two years ago and the more I was reading about it, the more I wanted to know about it. However, design is not only about reading, exploring theory, it’s mostly learning how to apply it. I realized that without having a structured way of learning and mentorship to get feedback, it would be very difficult to advance, especially while working full time.
    I really appreciate the mentors and tutors that...

    Great UI Design Program

    I've been enrolled in CareerFoundry's UI Design Program since January and it has been so enjoyable to learn from them these past 4 months. The reading material is easy to understand and sets me up to accomplish each task. Additionally, my tutor has been so helpful along the way and always gives prompt feedback on my projects. I definitely recommend CF to anyone looking to make a career change to UI/UX design!

    It's a great bootcamp for beginners

    CareerFoundry is a great Bootcamp for students that have no background in design. However, I feel that sometimes it is pretty lonely and the course should allow for more interaction between students and instructors.

    UI Design

    I am currently studying at Careerfoundry and it's one of the best decisions I've made in my life. 

    The team at CareerFoundry is always helpful and you'll get lots of support and guidance. 

    One thing I want to say about the UI course is that it needs a lot of effort from your side. Be prepared to work a lot, this is part of the whole learning process.

    Have fun and good luck!

    Hard yet straightforward
