    Ux design course

    I found it a good way to learn something new or even make a career change. All the lessons are easy to understand, besides that, you have extra informative material regarding the topic of the lesson, and you feel all the time support by the tutor and mentor, assigned to you since the beginning of the course. In general, I think it's a very complete course which I would recommend to others.

    UX Immersion Course

    I had a really good experience with Career Foundry. I was able to do the course through the German Agentur für Arbeit, which meant that I did not have to pay for the course myself. I worked on it an average of about 30hrs per week, and it took me 5.3 months to complete during which I also did some job shadowing at a start-up out our my own initiative.

    I have nothing but great things to say about CareerFoundry. My instructors have been amazing, in every way, throughout my time as a student, and that has been the most important aspect of my entire experience. CF has built a community of supportive, engaging, and friendly people that want nothing more than to help and guide you through the process of becoming the UX Designer (in my case) you are meant to be.

    UX Design Course at CareerFoundry (2020-2021)

    I did the course between 2020 and 2021. I must say that this is one of the most support that I have ever had while learning a a new skill. The program is designed in a very holistic way, from the introduction to the career advisor. I don't think that I would be able to stay this engaged without having a mentor, a tutor and a whole student community. The mentor calls and direct feedback from the tutor are extremely helpful and help you learn quickly. You also have access to a multitude of...
