Sheldon MurrayStudent • UX Designer • OnlineFeb 11, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceVery solid teaching
I’m almost done with my courses at CareerFoundry, and I can say that my time here has been well spent. The course material is designed in a way that is more hands on, so while you’re learning, you’re building a portfolio at the same time. The mentors are very nice and helpful, and are always willing to book a video call. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants hands on experience as a UX designer.- Ashley NiemiecStudent • OnlineFeb 11, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Learning made easy
I'm already through 80% of the course and very happy with it. I had my doubts in the begging after not studying for many years, but the way the course is structured made it easy to learn everything. There's also a slack group with all the other students which makes the whole experience a little bit less lonely. In the group are also regular study buddy pairing sessions where you can find other students in your area so you can study together. - Gian Marco MStudent • UX Designer • OnlineFeb 11, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Careerfoundry UX Immersion, well structured course. Requires to put in some work but worth it.
I have been doing the 5,5 month-full-time UX Immersion course on Careerfoundry. What i really liked was the structure of the course, as well as the help from the tutor, who looks over each of your submitted tasks. He has always provided helpful feedback along the way. There is also a mentor who looks over each stages, which can be helpful as well since they are experts in the field. The course is very practical and there are many tasks to submit but worth it. - tania bArtist • Student • UI Design Program • OnlineFeb 11, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

UX Design Course
I've enrolled in the UX Design specialisation course on October 2020. At that time, I only had experience in UX writing and just a little about user research. A couple of friends of mine who previously studied at CareerFoundry suggested me to give it a try. And I must say that I won't regret the choice!

At that time, I only had experience in UX writing and just a little about user research. A couple of friends of mine who previously studied at CareerFoundry suggested me to give it a try. And I must say that I won't regret the choice! The course is super well planned: you get a Tutor who follows you day by day and gives you additional insights for each assignment, and a Mentor who revisions every one of the 6 milestones and besides that gives you great advise about the industry and how to get ready for the job search. In my personal case, both the Tutor and the Mentor were great, and they played a huge part in making me become a UX Designer in less that 6 months. I still can't believe it! Furthermore, besides Tutor and Mentor, students are also followed by Student Advisors for any bureaucratic issues. Moreover, you get a special Mentor for your job search too, guiding you through all the stages of the job search: from building a killer resume to mock interviews. I highly recommend CareerFoundry to anyone who decides to specialise in UX and even to those who want to change career drastically. - Hacer AydemirStudent • UI Design Program • OnlineFeb 11, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

It worked very well for me as it is 100% online and still fast-paced if you studied full-time.
My tutor was a great help as he was usually available and assisted me in a way where I could figure out the problem on my own. My mentor was also of good assistance and gave me a good understanding of what to expect in the course and upon graduation, as well as motivating me to not quit - which was enticing at times.
I was lost in the beginning but with time I quickly learned and never made the same mistakes again. I would also like to add I am a 27 yr old who never had a real job, beyond the army, entrepreneurship, and pig farming, so the course was perfect for me.

Career Change UI Design
I started the career change course just after I graduated in marketing, because while I still liked the idea of working in an agency and being able to express myself creatively through my work, I found that marketing just didn't do it for me.

I thought a lot about whether to really start the program or just try to teach myself everything there is to know about UI design but in the end I (obviously) decided to make the investment and start the UI design program at career foundry.
Up until now I do not regret my choice. Since I've not yet finished the program, I can't talk about my experience with their job assistance, but I do have the impression that they are really keen on holding their job-guarantee and will do everything in their power to help you on your search for your first job as a UI designer.
My mentor and especially my tutor are really nice people and do offer a lot of insights and great feedback. What struck me most is the speed with which tasks are reviewed and feedback is delivered. But I guess that will depend on who your tutor will be.
As far as the curriculum is concerned, I do enjoy the exercises and while not everything will be entirely new to everybody - depending on your current career and skills - it is a nice and complete package with all the essentials that an up and coming UI designer should know, plus some more.
Overall, I'd recommend the course to everybody who can afford it and is serious about becoming a professional UI designer. Especially if you are living in Europe, since I've got the feeling that the demand for good and savy UI designers is growing more and more; even with the pandemic not yet being over. - ArielleStudent • UX Design Program • OnlineJan 21, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
CareerFoundry's Program Can't be Beat!
In 2020 I decided to change career paths into UX/UI. I live in Silicon Valley so I was in need of a program that was not just going to give me the certification I wanted, but also have a well-rounded in-depth curriculum. Sure, a well-known brand name school would seem great on paper, but I was searching for quality instruction.

I live in Silicon Valley so I was in need of a program that was not just going to give me the certification I wanted, but also have a well-rounded in-depth curriculum. Sure, a well-known brand name school would seem great on paper, but I was searching for quality instruction.
CareerFoundry was the first school I came across and, right off the bat, I was impressed by their customer service and their non-sales approach. Their Admissions Representative answered all of my questions thoroughly on expectations, job search, salaries, etc. As a student I have found that this excellent customer service pervades all of CareerFoundry from their instructors to their student advisory team. Even though I am attending a remote, self-paced class, CareerFoundry's program feels as if you are getting all of the non-on-one attention that you need.
The curriculum is structured for many different learning styles. No only is the reading material no-nonsense and easily digestible, it is broken up with videos and exercises to practice what you learn. As I reach the end of the UX portion I find that I have a professional prototype to present to prospective employers. The Job Search portion of the course is designed to help you get clear on what you want and how to prepare for interviews. I've found that with all of my mentors, they are down to earth and have great insights from working in the field. I can't wait to dive into the UI specialization soon! Also, the price of CareerFoundry can't be beat! - Heather HopkinsStudent • UX Designer • OnlineJan 21, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

UI Design
The course is generally very well ordered and structured. Even without previous design knowledge, you can complete it without worrying. However, some topics have been shortened due to time constraints. But, if you ask the tutor and mentor, you will receive extra articles or book recommendations to expand your knowledge if desired. It offers a lot of knowledge compressed into a short time and is therefore a great opportunity for a new start. - Pooja AroraUX UI Designer • Student • UX Designer • BerlinJan 21, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
