    A Professional, Personalized Experience Online

    The content of the course is broken down in a way that's easy to learn and well organized. However I think the most beneficial part of the course is that they set you up for success from the very start, providing helpful timelines to keep yourself on track, a tutor who reviews every assignment and provides feedback, and a mentor who is there to offer higher level support and insight that I wouldn't have access to on my own. Not to huge the large network of other students who are there to...

    Great, but time consuming course

    I would like to change my career from engineering to UX Design. After careful consideration, I decided to join CareerFoundry. So far I don't regret this decision either. I'm very satisfied with the course. It's constantly updated and there are always improvements in the course material. So I feel well prepared and up to date. Sometimes, I wish I had a little more background information. Then I have to do my own research, which I find important for learning.

    UX Design course

    It was a great time learning UX design at Career Foundry.

    The instructors are very supportive and always provide additional resources for learning. My mentor changed during the course, however, CareerFoundry team made the transition very smooth. The tutor was always there and answered all the questions I had.
    The curriculum was sometimes confusing. As a complete beginner, I would wish some more tips about upcoming tasks and what to prepare for it. Between some tasks, there is a...

    UX Design Course

    I have taken part in the UX Design course and I would totally recommend it. 
    I dare to change my career to one very new but also that had to do with understanding people's needs. 
    My mentor and tutor were always very helpful and reachable. I have had all the support I needed to succeed in this course and I feel prepared to start this new position in any company.

    UX Design Course

     As someone with a full-time job, a side-hustle job, a chronic illness and very little to spend on a course, I put doing this course on the back burner for months before I finally decided to bite the bullet, get a loan from the bank and just do it. And I am SO HAPPY that I did! While it's possible to do the course much faster, I am chipping away at it on top of my other jobs and make sure that I fully understand the material before moving to the next chapter, and all I ever receive from ...

    VUI design

    I was really satisfied with this course. The theory is clear and well-documented but it would need a refresh. Especially in a fast-developing field like VUI design.
    There is a good balance between theory and practice and the tasks are interesting. I like how you can challenge yourself as much as you want, so you can stand out if you put in the work.

    It is quite intense so you really have to work for the certification which makes it even more satisfying to obtain.

    It took me years to figure it out if it's the right choice to enrol or not. During these years I kept browsing all the tutorials that I could find on Youtube and I was happy with the results but I didn't know why I was coming back to Careerfoundry to check their program. You can learn a lot without paying and there is a great free tutorial as well in the ocean of information that you can on the internet.

    I was apprehensive initially, but the hands-on experience in learning while designing is great. The tutors and mentors are really passionate about the subject and push you to do the same. Nearing the end of the course, but I am in awe of the amount of material access throughout the course. Thank you CareerFoundry.

    My experience as an Asian doing the CF UI Immersion course

    Before I started with CF, (like many others) I did some research on a few other bootcamps - locally and remotely. I think many out there are very UX-driven in the terms of their curriculum. I'm actually transitioning from a graphic designer and I didn't want to lose my design roots entirely so I still wanted some UX but more UI. Thus, eventually found myself resonating with this UI Design Immersion course. It has been a fulfilling journey so far - definitely lots of discipline required. ...
