    Happy UI Design student!

    I'm over halfway through my UI Design course at CareerFoundry and am very satisfied with this school! I have a mentor, a tutor, and advisor! The course has tons of resources as well as a job placement program. They also have a supportive Slack channel for students and alumni to connect around the world. I like that the course is on my own time, so I can work full-time and go to school - I don't have to quit my job to do an intensive 3 month bootcamp! : ) I'd highly recommend for anyone l...

    UX design

    The tutors and mentors are professional and the resources are very well sorted and helpful for beginners and intermediates alike. With a real sense for progression, the course motivates you to not only achieve your goals fast but also to go a bit further and dive deep into a topic. I really enjoyed the tempo of the course.
    I just started the optional job prep course but for now, it is great as well. Can only recommend CF!

    Highly recommend!

    CareerFoundry was the push I needed to start my career change! I am so glad that I decided to take the course. I was a bit nervous at first about juggling it part time while working full time, but it has allowed me to go at my own pace and learn what I was hoping to about UX and more! My tutor and mentor have been super helpful with feedback and any questions I have.

    So Thankful!

    I cannot express how thankful I am for CareerFoundry! When the pandemic hit, I lost my job as a freelancer in the fashion industry and realized how unstable the industry was. I needed to make a career change quickly and was so lost. With no previous tech knowledge, this course has helped guide me through difficult lessons and taught me an entirely new skill set. Ultimately, CareerFoundry has given me hope to turn around my future in an uncertain time.

    Great decision!

    Going into this new field of UX Design, I was so nervous and really wasn't sure where to start. Even from the beginning, just asking about the program, the advisor I spoke was so helpful and answering all of my questions and was so open about the program. It didn't feel like a sales pitch and they genuinely seemed interested in what my goals were. I'm still working my way through the course but I am so happy that I chose CareerFoundry. The curriculum really pushes me to think creatively ...

    When I was looking for a UX bootcamp in June 2020, I used Course Report myself. I decided to take the UX program of CareerFoundry. I turned out to be a great decision. My mentor is awseome, she helps me to develop as a UX designer a lot. We have weekly calls via Skype but we text regular about my project as well. She answers quickly and supports me finding solutions for design problems. I had some issues with my tutor but my mentor helped us to solve the problem - everything is fine by n...

    CareerFoundry Intro to UX Review

    The introduction to UX Design course offered by Career Foundry was a great fit for my busy schedule. The course being taught at my own pace was ideal since I am currently a full time student. I received a lot of helpful feedback for all of my assignments which made the effort I put into them worth it. I would recommend this course to anytime who is trying to learn the fundamentals of UX Design.

    My experience with Career Foundry

    The structure of the course itself is great! My tutor has been really helpful, she responds within minutes most of the time. However, my experience with my mentor isn't too good, I had to wait for 3-4 days for his response, which was slowing down my career growth. It was upsetting that I felt like my tutor was the only person supporting me during the UX program. It really depends on your luck if you get a good mentor, and to request for a change of mentor isn't as simple as we think. I a...

    I read many reviews before deciding to sign up for the CareerFoundry's UX Design Program. The reviews tend to be pretty good, so I had high hopes when I started the program. However, my experience was not was I was expecting, and I'll get into that.

    Initially, I talked to the program advisor, and she told me there would be hundreds of mentor calls that would be available to me. That was one of the main reasons I picked CareerFoundry over DesignLab and Springboard. The program advi...
